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

Perhaps it was the most crucial moment, as Grandpa Rat was no longer able to continue talking to Jiang Chen.

Only a burrowing mole nearby grabbed Jiang Chen's clothes, trying to get him to leave with it.

This is the burrowing mole that Grandpa Mouse called to see Jiang Chen off.

But Jiang Chen didn't leave.

Everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at.

Ron's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Even if you're not a Phantom Beast Warrior, it doesn't matter, because we will protect you.

Ron's words echoed in my ears as well.

"Good at...not good at..."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself. He looked at Grandpa Rat, and a faint light shone in his eyes, which reflected Grandpa Rat's back.

It doesn't matter if you're not good at fighting, or if you're too weak to defeat the enemy.

He just needs to find what he's good at.

So what are you good at?

Jiang Chen didn't know, and he didn't want to know right now; he only had one thought in his mind.

Protect Grandpa Mouse!

"At least... at least I absolutely cannot... absolutely cannot let Grandpa Rat's efforts go to waste!!"

The skinny boy finally mustered up his courage. He turned around and stood behind Grandpa Mouse, facing the four-eyed monster cat approaching from afar!

Rays of light condensed in the eyes of several four-eyed strange cats, their target being Jiang Chen and the rat grandfather behind him.

But Jiang Chen has not backed down.

"Even if it's just for a moment..." He faced the four-eyed cats, his eyes devoid of fear and hesitation:

"I also want to be...the one who protects you!"

I don't want to be the one being protected; I want to be the one protecting you!

"Meow!!!"

The four-eyed cat cried out again, and several rays of light converged into one, falling towards the figure blocking Grandpa Rat's path.

But just as the ray was about to hit Jiang Chen, an even stronger light blocked its beam.

That was the light emanating from the mythical beast head pattern on Jiang Chen's shoulder!

The dazzling light obscured Jiang Chen's body.

The last member of the four-person team, the Phantom Beast Warrior, has finally awakened his power!

The extraordinary armored weapon, the Shield Bear, merged with Jiang Chen at this moment!

Chapter 40 The Mysterious Fifth Person Appears!

Let's go back to the present.

Having merged with the Shield Bear, Jiang Chen appeared before everyone with an extremely reassuring demeanor.

Compared to other mythical beast warriors, the most distinctive feature of Jiang Chen's transformed mythical beast warrior is its 'size'!

Or you could say 'strong'.

It has a robust and strong body, armor so thick it seems capable of withstanding sniper bullets, and a height that is significantly taller than that of ordinary mythical beast warriors.

It gives people a very solid feeling.

The exclusive weaponry of the Phantom Beast Warriors, the two brown shields worn on their forearms, gives them an unparalleled sense of security.

It was as if by simply standing there, he could block all dangers and protect everyone.

In fact it is.

He helped Chen Xiaolian block Master Hu's signature move, Tiger-Style One-Slash, and seemed to be unharmed.

Although Ron felt that he might have missed some extremely important plot points, he didn't think about it anymore, since he could catch up on the series later.

He simply asked Jiang Chen:

"Jiang Chen, did Grandpa Rat give you anything?"

"Huh? How did you know Grandpa Mouse gave me the Fantasy Crystal?"

Jiang Chen was very shocked.

After transforming into a magical beast warrior and protecting Grandpa Rat and the others, Grandpa Rat handed over the completed and shrunken Fantasy Crystal to Jiang Chen, asking Jiang Chen to come and help Ron and the others.

Jiang Chen hasn't mentioned this yet, so how did Ron find out?

That's how it's portrayed in cartoons!

Ron thought to himself, his voice trembling.

In a children's world, the foreshadowing in the early and later episodes is not too far apart. Sometimes, something that appears at the beginning of an episode can be used at the end of the same episode.

As for the Fantasy Crystal, since it is something that Grandpa Mouse has protected so carefully, it will inevitably play a crucial role in this episode... or in these episodes!

Otherwise, is giving so much screen time to Fantasy Crystal just to pad out the runtime?

If that's the case, the animation rating will drop!

"Guess."

Ron inwardly complained, but outwardly remained cold and indifferent.

He does have a bit of the aloof second male lead vibe.

Jiang Chen didn't think much of it. He casually reached into his pocket and pulled out a palm-sized crystal from somewhere, then threw it at Ron.

"This is the completed Fantasy Crystal. Grandpa Rat said that once you have it in your hands, you'll know how to use it!"

Ron took it without hesitation.

At this moment, Master Hu had already emerged from the black mist:

"Another one? Whatever, it doesn't matter. No matter how many come, you're all destined to be defeated today, because... I am the strongest now!!!"

Master Tiger roared to the sky again.

The sound waves spread outwards with his roar, and the already unstable cave seemed to show signs of collapsing again.

Ron looked at Master Tiger as he emerged from the black mist.

Master Hu has changed completely. Originally, his appearance was more like that of a Siberian tiger, a classic yellow-skinned, black-striped tiger.

But at this moment, Master Tiger's skin had turned pure black, and the original black stripes had become very obvious white.

He doesn't look like a good person at all.

"That's a classic skin for a dark villain..."

Ron muttered to himself.

Anyway, most beings who have turned to the dark end are like this. They paint their bodies with black or red colors, which means they have completely turned to darkness. This is quite in line with the style of a children's world.

However, it must be admitted that after Master Tiger transformed into this form, his strength did indeed increase significantly.

Just standing there, a heavy sense of oppression is overwhelming.

Without much preamble, Ron moved directly to An Yan's side and handed him the Fantasy Crystal:

"We'll try to buy you some time. Find an opportunity to shove this thing onto his head."

"Huh? Me?" An Yan pointed to himself.

"Of course, who else could it be but me? Alright, enough talk, let's get started!"

Ron didn't give An Yan time to think. He simply shoved the Fantasy Crystal into An Yan's hand and then turned to face Master Hu.

Using the Fantasy Crystal is simpler than you might imagine.

All the Phantom Beast Warriors need to do is hold the crystal in their hands, use their own characteristics and the light qualities they possess to activate the energy within the crystal, and they will be able to expel the dark power within those Phantom Beasts who have been corrupted by darkness.

Although it was simple, Ron couldn't guarantee that he would be able to activate the crystal successfully.

After all, activating a crystal requires two key elements: one's own power characteristics and the other's inherent light qualities.

Ron could probably understand the former, but the latter... Ron wasn't so sure how much light was in his heart.

They were even more uncertain whether their own light was pure.

In comparison, An Yan, whose beliefs remained steadfast from beginning to end and who was naively kind and simple-minded, was undoubtedly more suited to take on the responsibility of purifying the darkness.

In short, after the tasks were simply assigned, Ron, Jiang Chen, and Chen Xiaolian began to get entangled with Master Hu.

With Jiang Chen joining the fray, the battle suddenly became much simpler.

Jiang Chen's defense was incredibly strong; even the enhanced Master Hu was unable to break through Jiang Chen's defensive shield.

Ron took advantage of Tiger Master's attack to harass him, while Chen Xiaolian, who was on the side, would occasionally draw her bow and shoot arrows with controllable power to distract Tiger Master.

The three mythical beast warriors worked together and for a time managed to fight Tiger Master to a standstill.
