Koda was not particularly happy to see the current situation either.
What he wanted most was to give both the girl and the giant beast a good thrashing himself and then take back the luggage.
But with his lack of strength, he could only settle for a reconciliation.
The girl named June put down her weapon and slowly walked over.
“As new friends, shouldn’t we shake hands?”
“Don’t!
Just stand right there and don’t move.
I’ll get the luggage myself.
Don’t try any tricks.
And what compensation did you mention?
Hand it over quickly, or I’ll kill this giant beast right now.”
Koda summoned ice spikes again, which floated around him and pointed at the giant beast.
“Why don’t you trust me?
I’m actually quite a person of my word.”
Seeing Koda’s wary reaction, the girl gave a charming smile and even winked at him.
Koda shuddered; what was with her?
“I don’t have anything valuable on me right now, just this.”
As she spoke, she took a gold necklace off her neck.
“I worked hard to snatch this gold necklace.
I heard it’s worth ten gold coins.
I don’t have anything else to compensate you with right now, so take this.”
The girl threw the necklace from a distance.
Just as Koda reached out to catch it, that sense of danger reappeared.
He immediately noticed something wrong; the giant beast was using its nose to locate him, clearly intending to attack again.
“Something’s wrong, retreat.”
He grabbed the necklace and retreated immediately without a second thought.
A hole was punched into the ground where he had been standing by a tongue.
“Good grief, truly the most poisonous is a woman’s heart.
She never stops thinking of ways to plot against me.
Luckily I kept my guard up, otherwise I’d be down by now.”
“Tsk, you’re quite good at dodging.
Your name is Koda, right?
I’ll remember that.
Let’s go!”
The girl picked up her whip from the ground, unloaded all the luggage from the giant beast, and rode off on it.
This time, Koda did not continue the pursuit.
The luggage was back in his hands.
Chasing further would only be to vent his anger, but it was dangerous; venting anger was not worth the risk.
“Such a young girl is quite pretty, but she’s gone down the wrong path.
If I get the chance later, I’ll definitely let her taste the iron fist of a friend’s love.”
He stepped forward to organize the luggage and carefully checked his bamboo basket; nothing was missing.
He nodded in satisfaction.
During this chase, Koda’s strength was basically unutilized.
The giant beast was too fast, and since he did not specialize in speed, he was being led around the whole time.
In Koda’s view, aside from its speed, the giant beast had few strengths.
Its attacks only worked at very close range, though the damage was considerable.
However, it lacked any long-range attack methods, making it easy to fall into a passive position, which was why he had the confidence to reclaim the luggage.
If he had realized halfway through that he could not win, he would have definitely turned around and run.
What is the point of catching up if you cannot win?
It would just be delivering your life on a silver platter.
After a while, Koda collapsed limply on the ground.
He could not move at all right now, as if he could not feel his legs.
If that girl named June returned now, Koda would be finished.
Although his legs could not move, other parts could.
He took out the gold necklace and placed it on the ground.
“It looked a bit familiar just now.
Looking closely, is not this the one I gave to Uncle Lettuce?
Even though Uncle Lettuce sold it, after changing hands several times, it’s back with me?
Fate truly works in mysterious ways; it seems our bond is not broken!
Do not worry, I won’t sell you this time.”
He then put the gold necklace into his shirt pocket.
After lying on the ground for a while longer, the caravan people finally caught up.
Lying on the ground, Koda felt the vibrations and thought June had come back.
He prepared for a full-scale battle; although his legs were immobile, it did not affect his use of the Water Control Divine Art.
He looked up and saw the caravan approaching in the distance, letting out a sigh of relief.
In this state, his strength was greatly reduced; without a guarantee of victory, he did not want to fight.
“A Yi Koda, don’t die!
If you die, what will I do?
What will I eat?
A Yi”
Koda watched A Yi run from afar, tripping a few times in between, before finally rolling onto Koda’s back and crying.
Hearing the first part, Koda felt somewhat touched that the little guy cared about him.
But hearing the latter part, a vein popped on his forehead.
Am I just your mobile granary?
Fine, when we get back, I’ll cut off your food for a few days to teach you a lesson.
“Stop jumping, stop jumping.
If you keep jumping, I’ll be gone.”
“A Yi Koda, you’re okay!
A Yi”
“What could happen to me?
Get off my back quickly.
Go over there and call the caravan leader—the one with the small hat and the mustache.
Go quickly!”
“A Yi Oh, I understand, A Yi”
After being scolded by Koda, its good intentions were misunderstood.
The red panda was clearly a bit unhappy.
“Everyone, check the luggage quickly to see if anything is missing.
He Jia, go and take notes.
We’ll report anything missing to headquarters later.”
The caravan leader was directing everyone, and his orders were executed in an orderly fashion.
Just then, the President, who was supervising everyone’s actions, suddenly felt his pant leg being tugged.
Looking down, he saw it was a young Iron-Eating Beast cub pulling at him.
The President was about to kick it away, but remembering it was Koda’s pet, he restrained himself.
“A Yi A Yi A Yi A Yi A Yi A Yi.”
Listening to the red panda’s cries, the President was full of questions.
What are you saying?
Although he could not understand, seeing the direction A Yi’s paw was pointing, he understood.
Koda was calling him over.
Just as he started walking, He Jia approached.
“Reporting, President, no luggage is missing.
The thief did not take a thing.”
“Bullshit.
We clearly lost fifty gold coins and a pile of clothes, all done by the thief.
Record it like that.
I’m going over there to take a look.”
He Jia’s eyes flickered as if he thought of something, and he immediately replied formally, “Understood!
I will definitely record it truthfully!”
“Mm, very good.
You also had money stolen by the thief just now.
I’m not sure of the exact amount, but I know about it.
Record however much you lost along with it.”
An excited expression clearly appeared on He Jia’s face.
Before leaving, the President patted He Jia’s shoulder.
“Work hard, young man.
I have high hopes for you; you have a great future ahead.
Handling this matter well will be very helpful for your career.”
“Yes!”
After parting with He Jia, the President followed the red panda to Koda’s side.
His serious expression immediately turned into a fawning one.
“Little hero, it’s all thanks to you this time.
Otherwise, if this luggage were lost, headquarters would definitely blame us, and I would be punished.
How about this, I don’t know how to repay you.
Little hero, make a request.
As long as I can do it, I certainly will.”
“No need.
I’m already grateful that you could take me along on this trip.
Consider this matter a thank-you gift.”
“Then how could I possibly accept that?”
Koda saw that his expression clearly said “I’d be happy to accept.”
“However, I have a few questions I need to ask you.
I hope you can help me with them.”
“Ask away, little hero.
As long as I know the answer, I will certainly tell you.”
Then Koda described the physical characteristics of the giant beast he just encountered to the President.
The President had truly accumulated a lot of experience from years of traveling as a merchant.
Just from hearing Koda’s casual description, he roughly guessed the species of the giant beast.
“Oh, if I’m not mistaken, the one you encountered is a Spirit Nose Beast.
Although it has no eyes, it has an incredibly sensitive nose that can smell scents from over ten miles away.
Even with its massive body, it possesses incredibly agile movement.
The most formidable part is its tongue; it not only has powerful attack force and can hit a target from several meters away, but it also carries a paralyzing toxin.
One touch will paralyze you, leaving you unable to move.”
Then the President looked at Koda lying on the ground.
“Little hero, you were not hit by its tongue, were you?” The words of surprise escaped his mouth.
