"Who's your great king? Don't call out randomly," Lu Ran's mouth twitched.
"Ga?" the Crow didn't understand.
Isn't that what you asked to be called before?
Now you won't admit it? Well, I'll say it anyway!
At this time, not only the Crow Leader recognized Lu Ran.
Completely covered in Golden Attribute energy, resembling a suit of armor, the Cricket silently watched Lu Ran.
It recognized him at a glance as the person who had kidnapped it before.
It was, despite its young age, the supreme overlord of the cricket world in the back hills of Red Leaf Park!
Unfortunately, it was captured by this man, who discovered its formidable potential and took it home.
The Cricket once thought it was finished.
But Lu Ran treated it to good food and drinks and imparted various combat skills to it.
In a short period of time, its combat power surged once again, making it utterly invincible in the cricket world.
It even easily became the Insect King at the Fighting Bug Competition.
However, the crickets, being solitary by nature, dislike living with other species.
Or rather, most crickets are like this, preferring to live alone.
Except during mating, they never allow themselves to share a living space with other crickets, let alone a different species.
Therefore, when they encounter one another, they would fight fiercely, which is the exploitation used in Fighting Bug Competitions.
It can be said that the competition within the cricket world is extremely brutal, with fights a common occurrence.
For Lu Ran, the Cricket King only had fragmented memories of him, after all, its intelligence hadn't been very high initially.
But it could judge that Lu Ran treated it well and knew that its combat skills today were thanks to this man's training.
Otherwise, with its previous strength, it would have had some difficulty reigning supreme in the cricket world.

Most importantly, after teaching it all the combat skills, this man eventually gave back its freedom.

The Cricket King thought back to the times it fought alongside Lu Ran and began chirping excitedly.
It asked Lu Ran if he had also come to snatch this Life Dandelion, or if he was looking for it...
"Your intelligence has improved quite a bit," Lu Ran remarked.
The Cricket King awaited Lu Ran's answer, but Lu Ran seemed to be mocking it.
"Hiss——" The Cricket King was angry.
"If you want this, I can give it to you as a way of repaying your training. But if you're here for me, forgive me for not being able to leave with you, as I now have seven wives to take care of."
Lu Ran: ???
So this is the reason you've been longing to return to nature?
At the moment, seeing that Lu Ran and the Cricket had started communicating, everyone fell silent, completely silent.
Unfortunately, they couldn't understand the Cricket's speech and couldn't judge the depth of Lu Ran and the Cricket's communication.
Meanwhile.
Lu Ran glanced at the resource that had attracted the "Three Great Beasts."
[Name]: Life Dandelion
[Level]: Rare
[Introduction]: After consumption, it can enhance an organism's self-healing ability.
It turned out to be a rare resource!
Lu Ran's eyes lit up, finding it unbelievable.
You should know, he had been grinding the Secret Realm for over half a month, exhausting himself, and had only managed to get one rare resource from a Public Secret Realm boss.
Besides that, there was only the rare resource given to him by Doctor Gu.
Rare resources were true to their name, really hard to come by.
But Lu Ran had never imagined that he could find a rare resource just on the mountains of Green Sea City, so casually.
Is this the early stage of the revival of Spiritual Energy? Treasures are everywhere!
No wonder these three animals were drawn to it; whoever ate this Life Dandelion would definitely see a terrifying boost to their survival ability in the wild.
"I think we shouldn't fight over it, you three can't divide it well. Why don't you all just give the Life Dandelion to me?" Lu Ran also knows what's sensible, heeding the suggestion of the Crow and Cricket.
Red Chain Snake: ???
Police: ???
"Hiss!!!" The Red Chain Snake widened its eyes, but the next second, the Crow Leader spread its wings to take flight, staring down at it with a fierce gaze.
The Cricket also turned its head, opening its steel-like mandibles, seemingly ready to engage in a battle of bites with the Red Chain Snake.
If they couldn't easily obtain the resource, letting Lu Ran have it was an outcome the two of them could more readily accept.
At that moment, the Crow also discovered something and started talking to the Cricket.
"Ga! So you're also one of the great king's lieutenants!"
The Red Chain Snake was confused: ?
The police were also confused!
Damn it, what's the situation? Lu Ran was just taking a stroll, and among the Three Great Beasts fighting over a rare resource, two have now turned to side with Lu Ran, even fighting over the treasure for him?
What sorcery is this?
The world has gone mad.
At that moment, Lu Ran also remembered the words of the White-Eared Cat; in this Green Sea, even if a pig fell from the sky, it would have to take the surname Lu! Lu Ran's expression was innocent, as if he was some kind of tyrant...
I just wanted to resolve the dispute...
Unfortunately, Lu Ran didn't recognize this Red Chain Snake, otherwise he could have taken the resource in a more amicable way.
The Red Chain Snake's evolution was not trivial; the official forces of Green Sea must not have discovered it, as it had always been in the wild.
Lu Ran thought for a moment and decided it was better to talk to the Red Chain Snake first, instead of resolving it with force.
"Do me a favor, I'm taking this thing."
"What do you think."
"Hiss——" The Red Chain Snake was torn between suspicion and certainty, flicking its tongue as it seemed to realize that the Crow and Cricket were both regarding the man as their leader.
What's going on here?
It glanced at the Life Dandelion, really wanting to eat it, but the current situation was telling it that it was very dangerous.
After much consideration, the Red Chain Snake's gaze hardened, and it slithered away.
With this, only the Crow Leader and the Cricket King, both subordinate to Lu Ran, were left.
"That's a sensible snake," Lu Ran remarked, very satisfied.
It seems it's a creature that can communicate; that would make things easier later on.
