The system said it was a garden, but it was not the same garden in his head. It was more like a forest instead of a garden in Tang Shaoyang's eyes. There was no resemblance to the garden at all. He and the group appeared in a plot of land filled with wild grass that reached up to their waist.
Eril flicked her fingers. A strong gush spread out of her finger, cutting the wild grass down to their ankles. She motioned everyone to gather. "Because of their sudden proposition, I forgot to discuss our plan. What do guys have in mind?"
"Search for the boss monster and kill it?" Roman answered straightforwardly.
Lulu and Eril rolled their eyes. "Everyone knows that already, but do you have an idea to find the boss monster quickly?"
"Splitting up is the best way to find the boss monster, but we have a big issue here. Our opponent is a Myth Rank and two Ancient Ranks. Only Ying could fight them; splitting up is not good for our lineup." Eril suddenly realized that the chance of them losing was higher than winning. Not because she looked down on Ying but because their movement would not be as effective as the Virandal Empire's group.
The Virandal Empire's group could split into four groups and search for the boss monster. The Myth Rank and the two Ancient Ranks would move alone while the remaining Epic Rank would form a group. That way, they could spread and find the boss monster faster than them without worrying about encountering them. Everyone shared the same concerns, as their only choice was to stick with Tang Shaoyang.
Tang Shaoyang raised his hand. "I have an idea for us to move effectively."
The four adventurers looked at Tang Shaoyang at the same time. "Let's split into three groups. Lulu, Roman, and Damian into one group." Then he tapped the sleepy lizard on his shoulder. "You move with Eril, and I will move by myself."
He raised his right hand once more before anyone could protest him, especially Damian, who was ready to lash out at him. "Have you checked my familiar rank?" His thumb was pointing at the sleepy lizard, Wrath. He figured out that no one had checked on his pets since they kept worrying about the Myth Rank.
Only then Roman, Lulu, Eril, and Damian turned toward Wrath, who was stretching out after his nap. The four did not realize that the two creatures were Ying's familiars. They thought the two were just normal animal pets because of their size. The four used Identification at the same time and had their eyes widened open after the result came out.
The extreme reaction came from Lulu. She kept looking back and forth between Ying and Wrath with her round eyes. Lulu Avilius Mistovel, the descendant of the Mistovel Family, or known as the dragon descendant. Even though her family was known as the dragon descendant, she never saw a dragon in her life.
Lulu's finger moved up like the centipede's legs as she suddenly lost. She was nervous as she did not a young dragon."

"Enough with the formality, so how's my plan? Should we stick as five or split in a group?" He know what to do now that a dragon was right in front of her. Even though the dragon in front of her was not her ancestor, it was still a dragon.
"Lulu Avilius Mistovel greets Sir Dragon." She bowed her head toward the currently small lizard.
Hearing the respectful greeting, the young golden dragon puffed his chest, nodding in approval. That was how people should greet him, the mighty dragon.
Tang Shaoyang flicked Wrath's head, who acted mighty and haughty. "Don't spoil him, Lulu. He is still a young dragon."
"Enough with the formality, so how's my plan? Should we stick as five or split in a group?" He immediately changed the topic before the other three tried to act respectfully to Wrath.
"What about the black cat?" Roman turned toward Greed and used Identification. "Alright, we won this contest for sure. What about if your second familiar comes with us, Ying? I think we can hold off for a while, even facing the Myth Rank with your familiar to buy time until you come."
"I don't mind that." Tang Shaoyang nodded. "However, I want you to escape instead of fighting the Myth Rank. My familiar can lead you guys to my location, so flee if you meet the Myth Rank and lure him toward me if possible. If we take down the Myth Rank, then we will win the contest."
"What about if I swap with Eril? I will be in one team with Sir Dragon instead." Lulu wanted to change the team.
Tang Shaoyang looked at Eril before observing Roman. "I place you in one team with Roman because your teamwork with him might help you if you have to fight. It will be best if you two are in one team instead of separating you from Roman."
"I understand why you want to be one team with Sir Dragon, Lulu. But you can still meet Sir Dragon after the mission is over, no? This is for the mission." Eril agreed with Ying and persuaded Lulu.
"Alright, I understand." With that answer, the group split into three.
Wrath opened his little wings and flew toward Eril's shoulder while Greed jumped off. He stood together with three S Rank Adventurers while Tang Shaoyang was alone on his side.
"His name is Wrath, and that little guy is Greed…." The discussion continued for another ten minutes. They were talking about how to communicate with each other if they found the boss monster. They could not use the communication system during the event because the resource was located in a pocket dimension. Communication was an issue as Tang Shaoyang also could not communicate with Wrath and Greed.
They were not actually his summons but contracted familiars. He could not communicate with them as he could communicate with spirits.
'It seems there's no other way aside from summoning my spirit, but it will give the guild a clue about my class. Let's not risk it.' He could summon the weaker spirit so he could communicate with the other groups, but he decided not to do so.
"Green and Wrath can sense my location, so if you can't handle the boss monster, you can send them to find me. However, if you can kill the boss monster, then just kill it." Tang Shaoyang voiced his thoughts.
"That's good enough. Let's do this." Roman seemed more excited than anyone else about the upcoming battle. The group eventually split up as they had planned, and Tang Shaoyang moved up by himself.
