Below is the vast earth, lush with green grass, and above is the azure sky, dotted with white clouds.
Strangely, there is more than one sun hanging in the sky, yet it doesn't feel particularly hot. Even stranger are the numerous small islands floating around.
Floating Island!
If it weren't for the unclear situation and the fact that he was in free fall from high altitude, Rhode would have certainly taken the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery here.
The Receiving Magic isn't working, and there's no reaction from the wild creatures that have flying abilities or could land him safely. Rhode could only try to adjust his posture, prepare to land on all fours, then roll to absorb the impact, hoping not to get too badly injured.
Recalling the experiences from the past few days, Rhode shouted desperately like a last-ditch attempt: "Warm!"
"Hoo?"
A familiar cry sounded, and a giant white fluffy mass appeared below.
Rhode suddenly felt that Warm's voice was so beautiful.
But Warm was not feeling beautiful at all.
Being a cushion for Wendy in the orchard was one thing; after all, he was standing on the ground, and Wendy was so light.
Now being summoned in mid-air!
But Warm didn't dare return because he feared his master would fall to his death the next second, so he reluctantly accepted his fate.
Thump! Thump!
Warm felt his belly hit something, which then collapsed, and then the falling stopped.
Rhode felt himself enveloped by the soft fur, sinking into Warm's back. Then he felt a vibration, and the falling stopped.
"Hoooooooooo" Warm's round body had been squashed into an oval, his tongue extended long.
Fortunately, he wasn't hurt.
Rhode felt his stomach churning in turmoil, but he could still move normally.
He tested his limbs and found no issues, then patted Warm's back: "Thank you, I really owe you this time."
Rhode couldn't help but feel grateful that Warm was now big and fat enough.
"Hoo~" Warm felt that there seemed to be nothing to eat nearby, and with nothing else to do, he directly returned Rhode to the ground.
But just as Rhode was about to stand up, he slipped: "What is this slippery, sticky stuff?"
Realizing he was on a strange raised stone, he glanced ahead and saw a gigantic body with claws...
Something's wrong!
Rhode scrambled off the suspicious object, moved away to take a closer look, and found it seemed like an enormous giant frog.
The frog was lying on the ground, circles spinning in its eyes, and its head slightly swayed, as if about to get up.
Without any hesitation, Rhode turned and ran.
But just a few seconds later, he suddenly felt a shadow enveloping him.
Rhode came to an abrupt stop and stepped back a few steps, only to hear a thud as the giant frog landed in front of him, turning to stare directly at him.
"This isn't good..." Rhode raised his hand, but Requip Magic didn't work, and he couldn't retrieve any weapons.
He wiggled his fingers to try and write, but Text Magic wasn't working either.
Only Summoning Magic remained. But would he have to call Warm to fight it? Yet Warm wasn't even as big as this frog's head.
"Summon, Crimson Marked Tree Monster! Cyan Engraved Golem? Canyon Vanguard? Gorge Swift Crab! Void Nest Insect?"
None responded to him.
It wasn't until he called Shadow Wolf that the pendant finally had some reaction, but this time it emitted a faint green light.
The moment wasted, the giant frog had already spread its front claws, slapping down at Rhode.
Rhode quickly dove to the side, avoiding the slap, but he also felt the ground's slight tremor, knowing a direct hit would be unpleasant.
Luckily, this frog doesn't hunt with its tongue.
As the frog was lifting its palm, a ghastly green magic array appeared on the ground, from which three wolves emerged.
Uh oh, Shadow Wolves have become the strongest wild creatures!
Why does it feel like there's a boomerang from myself, could it really be the power of Words Accompanied by Law? This fake information turned real just by feeding it?
But something was off; these three wolves weren't the usual Shadow Wolves.
First, although they were also one big and two small, there was no Two-headed Wolf. Secondly, their colors were a mix of gray-white and ghastly green.
Looking closely, they hardly had any skin or flesh on their limbs; ghastly white bones were exposed to the air, and their tails were simply segments of white bone.
This appearance looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. However, with no other options, Rhode tried to command them to fight.
Fortunately, despite their creepy appearance, these three wolves executed commands perfectly.
At Rhode's command, they fearlessly charged at the frog, which could almost swallow them whole in one bite.
The frog's front claws slapped down on the three wolves, who skillfully scattered.
The larger wolf accelerated forward, while the two smaller ones jumped to the sides. When the frog's claws came down, they leapt back to bite the part considered the forearm.
The frog violently shook its arm, flinging the two wolves away, blood oozing from the wound—yet relative to its size, it was hardly affected.
Rhode worried if those 'bare-boned' wolves would get shattered to pieces, but they rolled on the ground, deftly flipping and leaping upright.
The larger Shadow Wolf seemed intent on biting the frog's throat while it bent down to attack but was swatted away by a frog palm.
It flipped upright, joining the other two wolves in surrounding the frog, lowering their heads to growl while subtly moving their feet sideways, searching for opportunities.
Rhode felt that three wolves tackling such a huge frog was too challenging, so he tried again: "Summon, Ancient Stone Beetle! Summon, Shadow Wolf!"
The Stone Beetle didn't appear, but another group of Shadow Wolves came, similarly 'bare-boned'.
This time he carefully sensed the state of Summoner's Rift, realizing the pendant wasn't connecting him to the usual map with three lanes and a jungle, but a peculiar map with only two lanes and a jungle!
"This is... a 3v3 mode... Twisted Jungle?"
Rhode was hesitant to believe it. This map was somewhat niche, often used by people with scripts farming gold coins, making gameplay dull, so he seldom played it.
He only remembered it from a 'Six-Kill Contest' mode played on this map.
Apparently, due to low popularity, the entire mode was scrapped.
Unexpectedly, he could connect to this map...
Can the familiar Summoner's Rift be accessed again? Could it be that the Space Magic earlier affected his magic, making it erratic?
What about Mira and Elfman?
Had they been sent to strange places as well, or were they looking for him after watching him disappear?
Rhode stared at the giant frog surrounded by six wolves, deciding to deal with this creature first before worrying about anything else.
It would be best to summon other wild creatures as well, so here comes the problem: what are the names of the wild creatures in this map?
Rhode was anxious.
