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

These seemingly insignificant little things may not seem like much in the ordinary, but looking back now, we realize that this boy, who initially appeared cold and aloof, had been quietly taking care of everyone in the group all along.

Under this filter, the scene when Ron was captured was unconsciously beautified by An Yan.

Perhaps... the Ghost Angel's original target was him, and Ron was captured by the Ghost Angel while trying to save him.

That's what An Yan is thinking right now.

Chapter 63 Rest for one night, set off tomorrow!

No… I’m not as good as you think. The Ghost Angel did indeed come to capture me…

Watching the opening of episode nine, with everyone's self-blame and reflection, Ron, who was being praised by everyone, felt his face burning.

Yes, Ron can now see what the other side is doing directly through the plot of episode nine.

The content of the first two episodes... Episode 7 is about the group entering the forest town, meeting and rescuing Dr. Duck, the 'battle of wits' between the Divine Fox Witch and the Sky Eagle Guardian, and An Yan and his group's experiences in the arena.

The seventh episode ends with the appearance of the Lion King.

The eighth episode begins with Dr. Duck creating a purifier and having Ron experiment with it. Then, he learns that the Lion King has appeared, and Ron takes the purifier to support An Yan.

After the opening sequence, there is a battle between the group and the Lion King, as well as Ron's support. The story ends with Ron being captured by the Ghost Angel, and An Yan shouting like a powerless protagonist below.

And the beginning of episode nine is exactly what Ron is seeing now.

They discussed how to rescue Ron and began praising him.

To be honest, Ron wasn't as good as they thought.

He always walked in front when scouting the way because he felt that children shouldn't be allowed to explore the area.

He stayed up the longest during each night watch because he believed he had extensive experience staying up all night and was well-suited to watch the first half of the night.

The care shown to others along the way was all out of the duty of elders to take care of younger generations.

As for always being able to come up with solutions when problems arise... please, aren't you the ones who ask me first every time a problem comes up?

You've all asked me, how can I not try to find a solution?

An Yan's idea that Ron was captured to protect him was even more absurd!

The Ghost Angel's target was clear from the beginning: Ron!

Hey friends, idol filters are a no-no! If you guys beautify me any further, I'll start to feel like a saint myself!

Of course, it would be fine if only An Yan thought that way.

Judging from the scenes shown in episodes seven and eight, it seems that Ron... it seems that he really did step forward to protect An Yan from disaster.

Just look at the comments and bullet screen messages.

(Cold-faced second male lead × An overly concerned mother for her child √)

(Not the old father? Not the old father?)

(No, I feel like calling her "old mother" would be more fun www)

(Ron's mom! [Very loud])

(But then again, why did the demon god kidnap Ron?)

(It's unclear, but one thing is certain: there's something special about him.)

(Hey, isn't it usually the male lead who has something special about him?)

(You don't understand, do you? In most children's anime, characters with special identities are usually important supporting characters, and these characters are often targeted by the villains, thus driving the plot and giving the protagonist motivation.)

(I see. So what's so special about Ron?)

(Hmm... Actually, from the beginning I felt that Ron was accepting everything about the Beast Continent too quickly? So I thought... maybe he had been to the Beast Continent before or something...)

(Really? Aren't people generally quick to accept things?)

(They're different. An Yan initially wanted to find his classmates to return to the real world. Chen Xiaolian was uncomfortable with everything in the Fantasy Beast Continent from the beginning. Although Jiang Chen didn't say anything, you could tell from his inner thoughts that he also really wanted to go home.)

(That's right, only Ron never mentioned 'going home' from the beginning, as if he knew he couldn't go back now.)

"..."

Nonsense! I'm not from this world, and I can return to the real world anytime through the system. Why would I be stupid enough to keep saying "go home" all the time?

The discussion in the comments left Ron speechless.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

Compared to those children who initially wanted to go home, only settling down to become Phantom Beast Warriors when they realized they couldn't go back for the time being, Ron seemed to know from the very beginning what he was supposed to do and what he should do.

At least that's how it is perceived by the audience of "Fantasy Warriors".

This is a very strange thing in itself.

If he hadn't been captured by the demon god, it would have been fine; one could say that Ron was more mature.

But now that he's been targeted by the demon god, these minor differences will be magnified by the audience and become Ron's unique traits.

While Ron certainly wasn't targeted by the demon for that reason, the audience wouldn't think that way.

They would only assume that this was one of the reasons Ron was being targeted.

"Who cares what they think? Anyway, the headaches are the production team's problem, not mine..."

With the idea of ​​sacrificing his own friend rather than himself, Ron passed the problem on to the 'production team' that might not even exist, and then went to check on An Yan and the others.

……

An Yan remained silent for a while, then suddenly got up and walked out.

Chen Xiaolian reacted quickly and grabbed his arm: "An Yan, where are you going?"

"Save Ron! He was captured while protecting me! I can't abandon him!"

"So that's why! We have absolutely no idea where he's been taken!"

"...Those guys' target is us, the group of phantom beast warriors. As long as we show up...they'll definitely come out too!"

"So you're thinking of using yourself as bait? No, no, that's too dangerous!"

Chen Xiaolian grabbed An Yan's arm with both hands, and An Yan dragged her outside, saying forcefully as he did so:

"Well...I still have to...do it!!"

Just as Chen Xiaolian was about to lose control of An Yan and let him run away...

boom! !

The conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and a deep, muffled voice rang out from outside:

“Guardian Temple, if that so-called demon god hasn’t changed positions, then your companions will definitely be taken to the Guardian Temple.”

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound.

Luxurious attire, a heavy cloak, a lion's head and a human body... it was none other than the Lion King who had been forced out of the darkness and had been sleeping for a while!

"The Lion King..."

The fox spirit priestess and the eagle guardian both became excited.

An Yan stopped struggling and let Chen Xiaolian drag him back. He looked up at the Lion King and asked:

"Lion King, are you sure... Ron is in the Guardian Temple?"

"If the ghost angel really brings your friends before the demon god, they will definitely go to the Guardian Temple."

The Lion King said firmly.

"Then let's go protect the temple now!"

An Yan replied without hesitation.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Dr. Duck poured cold water on his enthusiasm:

"No, the Guardian Temple is located in a special space. Apart from legendary-level phantom beasts or phantom beasts recognized by the Guardian Temple, no one else can enter."

"...The butterfly fairy also said that she was not qualified to enter the Guardian Temple," Chen Xiaolian said in a low voice.

Back in Insect Baby Village, the Butterfly Fairy had mentioned to them the special nature of the Guardian Temple, and that the Butterfly Fairy communicated with the Guardian Jumang using magic, rather than personally going to the Guardian Temple to speak with Jumang.

Of all the mythical beasts that have actually guarded the temple, only one has been seen by everyone so far.

That's right, it's the Lion King.

An Yan instantly realized this and abruptly looked up at the Lion King.

Before An Yan could ask, the Lion King spoke directly:

"I will take you to the Guardian's Temple."

“Lion King…” The fox spirit priestess had a different opinion: “You’ve only just woken up, your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. You should at least take a few days to adjust…”

"It's okay, I've rested enough."

The Lion King interrupted the Fox Witch and looked at the Phantom Beast Warriors:

"Besides, the Phantom Beast Warriors are the hope for eliminating darkness. We cannot afford to lose any of them, so the rescue operation must be carried out as soon as possible!"

The Lion King's words brought a smile to An Yan's face.
