Chirp, chirp!
A brown figure bounced off Qin Ruo's shoulder in a flash as it chirped pressingly. The pet quickly went up against the "present" that the Deadwood Chieftain threw at them.
Boom!
It looked like the "gift" had been intercepted by a surface-to-air missile as it sputtered into dust and settled all over the place about twenty meters away from Qin Ruo's group.
Upon landing, Poochie that had just demonstrated its prowess to the Boss, was for the first time, putting on an unusually serious face. Four of its tiny claws dug deep into the ground, and the pet gazed nervously at the humongous creature that just broke out from the ground. Its brown tail stood erect and shook in sync with its squeak as if it was electrified.
