He looked down to find a Chinese Village Dog covered in brown fur staring at him, its tail wagging back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you.\" Staring at the dog before him, Chen Yuan’s expression was strange for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Chinese Village Dog, born just half a month ago, had grown rapidly in the week of torrential rains, its fire-breathing appearance was beyond imagination, and its size increased several-fold, nearly matching that of a regular adult dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an astonishing growth speed obviously defied biological common sense, but thinking about the wildly growing plants outside, Chen Yuan found it somewhat normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everyone is abnormal, then it’s normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woof woof woof!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dog’s barking became more urgent, and its gaze at Chen Yuan was full of fervency and longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan helplessly smiled and unscrewed the Cola placed on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woof!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dog lay on the ground, eagerly lifting its head and opening its mouth, drooling as its tail wagged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cola spilled forth, its stimulating smell overwhelming, and the dog quickly gulped it down, its excitement growing more intense, tail wagging faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You love Cola so much, I’ll just call you Cola from now on.\" Chen Yuan tightly screwed the remaining half-bottle of Cola and smiled at the dog before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cola didn’t seem to care about Chen Yuan’s words, its eyes glued to the half-bottle of Cola, desire evident in its gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan set the Cola bottle back on the table, teasing the dog lying on the ground, \"Drinking too much Cola won’t give you puppies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cola seemed to understand Chen Yuan’s meaning, quickly retracting its neck and awkwardly shifting its gaze so it no longer fell on the Cola bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan smiled warmly but suddenly looked up out the window, muttering, \"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has the rain stopped?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, opened the window, and the pleasant sunlight rushed into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan raised his head, seeing beams of sunlight pierce the thick clouds, gently illuminating the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first startled, he then broke into a bright smile, \"It’s not easy, but it’s finally sunny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unexpected torrential rain swept across every corner of the globe, causing severe impacts on many countries and cities, with millions suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, after a week of continuous rain, the skies finally cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan opened the door of the wildlife rescue station, standing at the entrance to breathe the moist and refreshing post-rain air, sunlight falling upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Cola eagerly dashed out the door, frolicking around, chasing its shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen, come over quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a middle-aged man with dark skin hurriedly ran over, looking anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan turned, calmly saying, \"Mr. Wang, what’s happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Wang stopped in front of Chen Yuan, panting heavily, his tone urgent, \"Come quickly, there’s a fire-breathing bird in my field.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fire-breathing bird?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan paused, about to say something, but suddenly recalled the recent anomalies, remaining silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, let’s see it first.\" Mr. Wang grabbed Chen Yuan’s hand, trying to pull him toward the east side of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t rush, I’ll bring a cage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cola happily trotted behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After graduating from university, Chen Yuan, majoring in animal medicine, returned to his hometown, Xuanhe Village, and joined the Forestry Bureau, working at the wildlife rescue station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanhe Village sits at the southern foot of Qinling, rich in wildlife resources with high forest coverage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a staff member of the wildlife rescue station, Chen Yuan’s daily work involves assisting injured animals found by patrol rangers and villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping over the waterlogged road and through meter-high wild grass, the sun piercing through the clouds became increasingly dazzling, and Chen Yuan quickly followed Mr. Wang to a field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, many people had gathered at the front of the field, and as Chen Yuan approached, their discussions reached his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think this is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve lived over fifty years, never seen a fire-breathing bird before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, strange things have been happening lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Yuan’s silhouette, the crowd discussing made way, allowing him to see the small orange-yellow figure lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bird was fully covered in orange-yellow feathers, small in size, with long and narrow wings, a slim and elongated tail; the upper beak was curved at the tip, edged with sharp tooth-like projections, a flame-red feather extended from the tail, resembling a tuft of burning fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its deep blue eyes were especially striking, like the deep blue ocean, calm yet harboring waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan stood in shock for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of this bird leaned towards the falcon family, yet its exact look didn’t match any falcon species in Chen Yuan’s memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a species...never seen before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s more, flames spewed from the bird’s mouth, causing tiny sparks upon landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The destructive power wasn’t strong, but this phenomenon clearly defied common sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the fire-breathing bird spewed flames, a faint five-star symbol flickered on its forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reflecting on the various transformations, Chen Yuan grew more convinced that the world underwent some tremendous change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan tried to calm himself, observing closely, finally noticing the faint red threads in the wings of the fire-breathing bird, weakly flapping up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his rich experience, Chen Yuan’s eyes lit up, immediately realizing the current situation of the fire-breathing bird—its wings were injured, rendering it unable to fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s with this fire-breathing bird?\" Mr. Wang seeing Chen Yuan silently watching the bird, asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan slowly replied, \"Its wings are injured; I’ll take it back for treatment first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, okay.\" Mr. Wang nodded in realization, then lowered his voice, hesitating, \"Do you think it’s because of the rain...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, replied, \"Mr. Wang, those are matters for the higher-ups to worry about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Chen Yuan stepped forward, standing directly before the fire-breathing bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large shadow cast over the bird, but it showed no fear, struggling to lift its head, weakly spreading its wings, letting out tender chirps, \"Chirp!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being an experienced rescuer, Chen Yuan wasn’t fazed by the fire-breathing bird’s intimidation, ensuring the small flames posed no threat to him, he promptly reached out, firmly grabbing the bird’s nape, lifting it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chirp chirp chirp!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bird expressed anger and let out cries of fierce resistance, its struggle weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding people applauded and cheered, but Chen Yuan holding the fire-breathing bird had an odd expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Extraordinary Creatures detected, Extraordinary Atlas activated]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[First collection of Flame Cloud Falcon, Source Point increased by
