The five were anxious, every second of waiting felt agonizing, as no one could predict what kind of Star Beasts lay ahead, how strong they were, and how much time would be wasted to find a suitable target again.

The Earth Rock Rat took two steps in three strides, quickly hopped onto Skinny's shoulder, waving its arms and emitting rapid "squeak squeak" sounds from its mouth.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of Chu Chen and the other four changed dramatically, even if they couldn't understand what the Earth Rock Rat was conveying, they could guess a thing or two from Skinny's expression.
