Seeing that Justin Brooks and Jasper Drake had finished their trade, Seraphina Sullivan prepared to leave.
Suddenly, she remembered the crucial intelligence about the Monster Rabbit’s Player status and immediately shot Sean Chandler a look.
Sean Chandler understood instantly and called out to them.
"Captain Brooks, Researcher Drake, please wait."
Justin Brooks and Jasper Drake, who had been about to walk away, paused and turned back in confusion.
But what Sean Chandler said next was absolutely staggering.
"Since we’ve just concluded our trade, I have an important discovery that I feel compelled to share. This might not only concern the future of our safe zone, but it could also be another potential crisis for the entire Azure Star."
At these words, the expressions on Justin Brooks and Jasper Drake instantly turned grave.
’A crisis more terrifying than the extreme cold disaster we’re currently facing?’
They exchanged a look, each seeing the alarm and disbelief in the other’s eyes.
"What is this discovery? Please, Mr. Chandler, tell us," Justin Brooks asked, his tone deep and incredibly serious.
Sean Chandler didn’t beat around the bush.
He got straight to the point. "You both witnessed the terrifying power of the Monster Rabbit we fought. During the battle, I used a valuable detection-type item and obtained a definitive piece of information: that rabbit was an animal with ’Player’ status."
"What?!"
"How is that possible?!"
Justin Brooks and Jasper Drake cried out in shock, almost in unison.
Their faces were etched with utter disbelief.
The news was so subversive it completely shattered their existing understanding of the world.
However, both men were leaders and elites in the safe zone. After the initial shock, their minds immediately began racing.
Jasper Drake was the first to compose himself. He pushed up his glasses, his eyes sharp.
"No wonder... No wonder a monster so illogical, with such bizarre growth in power, appeared in Kaelen.
"If animals can also be chosen as Players, entering those dangerous instances and gaining Abilities... By surviving in a ’survival of the fittest’ environment, their power would inevitably snowball.
"For an Azure Star still dominated by human civilization, that is indeed an unprecedented and extremely grave threat!"
Justin Brooks took a deep breath, forcing down the turmoil in his heart. He stared intently at Sean Chandler and asked for confirmation again, "Mr. Chandler, are you absolutely certain this information is accurate? This is no joking matter."
Sean Chandler met his gaze and nodded without hesitation, his tone firm. "I’m certain. The feedback from the item was unequivocal."
"Then this is very bad..."
Justin Brooks’s heart sank, his expression turning grim.
"If this is true, then that Monster Rabbit is likely not an isolated case! In corners of the world we know nothing about, there may already be more animal ’Players’ with powerful Abilities quietly on the rise..."
He immediately realized the gravity of the situation. This was a threat on a strategic level, far worse than a single powerful monster.
He gave a solemn nod to Sean Chandler and Seraphina Sullivan.
