What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

boom!!

The blade energy was completely dispersed by the shield, and the giant bear warrior stood like an iron tower protecting Chen Xiaolian.

An Yan and Chen Xiaolian were stunned when they saw the suddenly appearing mythical beast warrior. It took them a few seconds to realize what was happening.

"You...you are...Jiang Chen?" Chen Xiaolian asked in surprise.

no doubt.

The phantom beast warrior who arrived at this moment was none other than Jiang Chen, who had been disconnected earlier.

The phantom beast that merged and formed a contract with him, judging from its shape, should be an extraordinary-level phantom beast, the Shield Bear.

Among all the extraordinary-level mythical beasts, it is considered one of the toughest.

Chapter 39 is not about being protected, but about protecting others.

Let's rewind a few minutes.

Grandpa Mouse was intently channeling the energy of the crystal.

He is currently too busy to help Ron and his group.

As a fantasy-level mythical beast, the only thing Grandpa Rat can do now is to do his best to make the fantasy crystal in front of him fully formed.

The rest of the burrowing moles surrounded Grandpa Mouse and Jiang Chen, who was behind him, and together with the working mole.

Along his journey, Ron defeated many four-eyed cats, but these four-eyed cats did not die, and many more are gathering here.

As fellow cat-type mythical beasts, Master Tiger has a strong command over most extraordinary cat-type mythical beasts. All the four-eyed strange cats around here have probably become Master Tiger's subordinates, at his beck and call.

More and more four-eyed cats are appearing, and they are approaching the only large underground cavity.

Protected by numerous rodent-like phantom beasts, Jiang Chen glanced at the four-eyed strange cat approaching him and subconsciously clenched his fist:

"...I...I should transform..."

He muttered to himself, his voice trembling.

Now is the time for him to transform. He has to transform, otherwise he won't be able to help everyone solve their predicament.

So it's time for him to transform.

Jiang Chen knew this, but as the huge four-eyed monster cat gradually approached, Jiang Chen felt a sense of resistance and his body trembled uncontrollably.

No... I'm so scared. I... I just can't be as brave as An Yan and the others in fighting the enemy.

Right now... I can't do anything...

"Don't retreat! Protect Grandpa Mouse! All of you, charge!!"

As Jiang Chen retreated, he was in stark contrast to the burrowing moles and office rats around him who continued to move forward.

One of the working mice shouted this.

He was the first to rush forward. Dressed in a suit and tie, his attack method was to create a briefcase and throw it at the four-eyed cat!

Ultimate move – the briefcase attack!

This is the only offensive move of the working mouse, which can create a powerful impact with its briefcase to repel enemies.

Ordinary real-level magical beasts and weak extraordinary-level magical beasts generally cannot withstand this attack.

But... the four-eyed monster cat is a monster even more powerful than ordinary extraordinary monsters!

Moreover, they are now enhanced by darkness!

Meow!

In contrast to the briefcase impact, the four-eyed cat unleashed energy beams from its four eyes.

Several four-eyed monster cats simultaneously unleashed rays, black and red rays that resembled a sweeping stick, sending countless office mice and burrowing moles flying.

A scream rang out, followed by the sound of more burrowing moles and office rats rushing forward.

"Charge! We can't let them get near Grandpa Rat!"

"Even if we have to bite them, we'll keep them here!"

"Charge!!!"

The burrowing moles cried out and pounced on the four-eyed cat.

They used their sharp claws to tear at the four-eyed cat's body, but due to the overwhelming difference in strength, they couldn't even break through the four-eyed cat's defenses.

The ray was fired again, and several burrowing moles were knocked away, flung, and crashed to the ground, but they quickly got up and charged at the four-eyed cat again.

"Why……"

Jiang Chen stood beside Grandpa Rat, staring blankly at the burrowing moles rushing towards him, muttering to himself:

"Why... why did you rush in when you were so weak? You knew you couldn't win... why did you still rush in..."

No one answered Jiang Chen's question because everyone was busy fighting and had their own things to do. No one would come to talk to him or give him an answer at this time.

But Jiang Chen herself knew it.

He's smart, so he knows.

He knew that these burrowing moles were protecting Grandpa Rat, and that they were striving for an uncertain hope.

But... they are too weak... even if they rush up, what can they possibly accomplish?

Aside from a few office mice that still have fighting ability, most of the burrowing moles can't even stop the other side's footsteps.

Jiang Chen's mind was in complete chaos. In his confusion and bewilderment, he didn't notice that a beam of light from a four-eyed cat was shooting toward him!

In the midst of the chaotic battle, the four-eyed cat's rays shot out indiscriminately, filling the entire underground cavern with black and red rays fired by the cat.

Of these rays, one happened to shoot towards Jiang Chen.

By the time Jiang Chen noticed this, he had already lost his chance to dodge.

No, given human physical capabilities, even if Jiang Chen noticed this beforehand, he would have very few chances to dodge it.

As a result of his biological survival instinct, all Jiang Chen could do in the end was to put his hands in front of him and close his eyes.

Am I... going to die...?

All the chaotic thoughts calmed down in that instant, and memories of the past flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

It's unclear when exactly, but Jiang Chen has started to deal with problems by escaping.

When someone said that to him, he closed his ears and refused to listen.

He lowered his head and remained silent after being given a nickname.

When he was harassed at school, he would just cover his head and remain silent, letting the other person bully him.

Because he was too weak, he never thought of resisting. He just silently endured everything and ran away from everything, thinking that he could stay away from it all this way.

Even now, it's the same.

From the very beginning, he was running away, running away from his responsibilities, running away from the potential dangers.

When the Thorn Witch came knocking, he was the first to escape, which is why he wasn't caught by her.

Now, he has no way to escape.

So perhaps this isn't so bad?

Jiang Chen thought that since he was not qualified to become a Phantom Beast Warrior in the first place, it might be a good thing for him to die like this, so that more qualified people would come to become Phantom Beast Warriors.

Someone like me... it wouldn't matter if I disappeared.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen calmly accepted her fate.

But €€€€

boom!

"what?"

The expected pain did not come; instead, I heard a clattering sound near my ear.

Open your eyes and look up straight ahead.

Jiang Chen saw a thick rock rise up in front of him, and it was this rock that blocked the rays that were about to hit him.

"Phew... thank goodness... I took one more look."

Grandpa Mouse, seeing that Jiang Chen was unharmed, slowly exhaled. He put down his cane again, focused intently on the fantasy crystal, and said to Jiang Chen:

"Child, run!"

"...Huh?"

"I might not be able to protect you anymore, so run! Run to a safe place, and I'll have the burrowing mole lead the way."

Grandpa Mouse said this.

"Why protect me?" Jiang Chen asked blankly. "Someone like me... it wouldn't matter if you didn't protect me, maybe..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Grandpa Rat interrupted Jiang Chen. "Does an elder need a reason to protect a junior? I am Grandpa Rat, protecting children is my mission."

As he spoke, he channeled energy into the fantasy crystal once more.
