These Familiars Are Strange

Once the heart turtle stopped moving, I let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that I had been able to take down the Boss Monster without anyone interfering. Then as if to confirm that the Boss Monster had been taken down, there was a portal that suddenly appeared in the center of this room. This was clearly the way out of this dungeon. All of the others had bitter looks on their faces when they saw this portal since it also confirmed for them that this competition was over. There wasn't anything else that they could do since the Boss Monster had been taken down. So eventually, there were some that headed towards the portal. There was nothing else that they could do here. I didn't have as easy of a time as the next thing that I had to do was secure my loot. The first ones that I turned to look at and raise my guard against were the top contender teams. I was surprised to find that there was currently a clash between them. It was between the Shining Bolts Team and the World Tree Team. The Shining Bolts Team's leader had summoned out his familiar, which was a hawk and had gathered lightning around himself, as if he had been prepared to attack. But he hadn't been able to do what he had been planning to do as there was a green barrier that suddenly stopped him. That green barrier blocked all of the lightning strikes that he released, no matter how much power he used. So in the end, the leader of the Shining Bolts Team couldn't help revealing a disappointed and angry look at being kept back like this. However, Leaf didn't seem to care about how he felt with the way that she kept the barrier up. It was as if she even enjoyed the frustrated look that was on his face with the faint smile that she had. As for the Fire Gods Team, the Luminous Knights Team, and the Dark Knights Team, they had just been standing there silently the entire time. Even though it was the Luminous Knights Team and the Dark Knights Team that took the lead in this fight, it didn't seem like they were unhappy that I had stolen this Boss Monster. In fact, they were just looking at me with intrigued looks on their faces. As for the Fire Gods Team who I had expected to interfere the most because of the grudge between me and Huang Tuo, he actually hadn't done a single thing to interfere with me taking down the boss. Huang Tuo was just standing there with a strange look on his face as he looked at me. Seeing that I was finally looking at them, the leader of the Shining Bolts Team stopped attacking and gave a snort as he said, "It seems that you've really degraded yourself that you're working as a henchman for him. I thought that you would be more special, but that doesn't seem to be the case with how easily you started working for him." His words were aimed at Leaf, but they were also targeting me at the same time. "Big words for someone that couldn't even break my barrier." Leaf was no slouch as she stabbed him with the most effective words. The face of the leader of the Shining Bolts Team turned ugly the moment that he heard this. He narrowed his eyes to look at Leaf before suddenly turning around with another snort. It was almost as if he didn't want to degrade himself to argue with her, but really he didn't have anything to say. He was completely surprised by the fact that her barrier had been able to stop all of his attacks. No matter how he tried, he just hadn't been able to destroy the green barrier. So he wasn't going to stick around to be insulted like this. He wasn't going to stay here if it just meant that he was going to be embarrassed. As for the others, it didn't seem like they were planning to move. Seeing this, I slowly made my way over to where the heart turtle was, but I didn't pull out the Scavenger Rabbit. With how many people were still watching, it was impossible for me to pull out the Scavenger Rabbit like this. I just stood there and stared at all of those that were staring at me. Eventually, the leader of the Luminous Knights Team suddenly revealed a smile and said, "It's yours, we're not going to steal it from you." Right after saying that, he turned to leave. The leader of the Dark Knights Team also nodded in agreement and turned to leave without a word. The only one that was left standing there was Huang Tuo and the Fire Gods Team. He was the only one that just kept staring at me without a single word, but I could tell that there was something strange about the way that he looked at me. Seeing that he still wasn't saying anything, I grabbed the heart turtle and started moving away from the portal. I was going to a different place where I could look at the loot of the heart turtle in peace. It was when I started to move that he finally said, "How did you do it?" I turned back to look at him with a confused look. This was definitely not a question that I had been expecting. I just looked at him for a bit before saying, "That was the power of my familiar." It didn't seem like he was satisfied with the answer that I gave him, but it also didn't seem like Huang Tuo was going to ask anything. In the end, he just gave a nod and turned to leave as well. Now the only one left was Leaf who was following close behind me. She was the only one that I just couldn't get to leave.
