Chapter 1114: Not a Person, but a Familiar?
"Ya Ya!"
Toothie's face lit up with excitement, and it hurried over.
Although there hadn't been many battles recently, it still loved the feeling of going out and exploring with the group.
"Seekie." Qiao Sang called out.
"Xunxun..." Seekie, still munching on a fried egg, responded, indicating that it would be ready in a moment.
Then, it stuffed the remaining fried egg into its mouth and floated over.
Qiao Sang said, "We're going to Worin."
Recently, besides during the day, Seekie had also been wandering around at night, mapping out almost the entire geography of Azure Light Island. It knew exactly where their Beastmaster was talking about, without needing any navigation.
"Xunxun~"
Seekie swallowed the last of the fried egg and called out, indicating that there was no problem.
Then, its eyes began to glow blue.
In the next second, Qiao Sang and Toothie disappeared from the spot.
...
Qiao Sang's vision went dark, and when it returned to normal, she found herself in a thick, white fog.
The dense mist obscured her line of sight, but Qiao Sang's vision was exceptional, and she could still make out the outlines of the surrounding trees through the white mist.
An ordinary Beastmaster would probably see nothing.
The fog is quite thick... Qiao Sang observed the surroundings and said, "Clearie, Tailwind."
"Qingqing."
Clearie called out, puffed out its cheeks, and a gale instantly erupted from its mouth.
The surrounding branches and leaves swayed wildly.
The mist churned and was quickly blown away.
Everything around them became clearly visible.
Towering trees, dense foliage, and a few colorful flowers dotted the ground. Apart from the lack of familiars, this area of the forest looked no different from other parts of Azure Light Island.
Qiao Sang looked at the scene, and various thoughts raced through her mind:
Am I being tricked?
Probably not. After all, the person is as powerful as Teacher Mikara, capable of walking on air, and has no reason to deceive her...
But maybe I shouldn't be so sure. Although there are more good people in the world, what if this old man happens to be a vicious one who lured her here to get rid of her and take Clearie?
After all, he recognized Clearie as a legendary familiar...
But let's not think too badly of others. The meeting was scheduled for tomorrow, so perhaps something will change here by then.
And he did say that there might be a harvest, or there might be nothing at all.
Qiao Sang thought with a calm and composed mind, her confidence stemming from her strength.
Even if the other party had ill intentions, she was confident she could escape unharmed.
As these thoughts flashed through her mind, a thick, white fog suddenly surged around them, obscuring the surrounding trees once again.
"Ya Ya."
Toothie called out with disappointment, indicating that this place seemed rather boring.
"Ji ji ji..."
Suddenly, Seekie made a ghostly face with its claws, hanging upside down in front of Toothie and emitting a classic ghost call, the kind often heard in horror movies.
Toothie: "..."
Toothie looked at it with a speechless expression.
"Xunxun..."
Seekie righted its body and looked at Toothie with admiration.
Big Brother Ya Ya truly lived up to the name. Even this couldn't scare it...
"Qingqing?"
At this moment, Clearie called out, indicating that this place did seem rather uninteresting. Should they leave?
"Xunxun!"
Seekie, upon hearing this, panicked and called out urgently.
This place is great! Who knows what's inside? It's exciting, and we can play hide-and-seek.
Clearie looked over with the same speechless expression as Toothie.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:
"Let's take a look around first. There might be some scenery inside that we can't see from the outside."
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker nodded vigorously.
"Exactly, exactly!"
Qiao Sang then seemed to think of something and warned:
"Tingbao, power dragons, all of you come over here and stay close. Otherwise, you might get lost."
Thunder Dragon and the power dragons hadn't bonded, unlike Fangy and the others, who could be located through the Beastmaster Codex. If they got lost, it would take a lot of effort to find them.
"Tingting..."
Thunder Dragon wrapped around Lulu, looking conflicted.
It didn't really want to go over, as it would surely overheat, but if its Beastmaster asked...
As Thunder Dragon hesitated, the power dragons were initially stunned but then marched resolutely toward Qiao Sang.
"Tingting!"
Seeing this, Thunder Dragon's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. It immediately released Lulu and moved quickly toward its Beastmaster, afraid of being slower than the power dragons.
Soon, Thunder Dragon wrapped itself around Qiao Sang's neck.
"Momo..."
The power dragons huddled close to Qiao Sang.
"Steel Treasure and Qingbao, use wind to clear the path. We'll keep moving forward", Qiao Sang said.
"Steel Chief."
"Qingqing."
Steel Treasure and Qingbao called out and began using Wind Skills to blow away the surrounding fog, clearing the path.
Every time the fog was blown away, more fog would rush in, re-obscuring the surroundings.
Qiao Sang held Fangy, with Thunder Dragon around her neck, stepping through the thick grass, admiring the scenery while maintaining a cautious vigilance as they moved forward into the unknown.
...
Meanwhile.
Above a section of the Azure Light Island's southern sea, shrouded in White Mist.
Migara hovered in mid-air, frowning. "The fog in this area is intentionally released by a familiar."
Liaoweng pondered for a few seconds and said:
"Should we expand our search area?"
"Doesn't it seem strange to you?" Migara asked.
Liaoweng was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"Given Peng Jia Mei's Mental Power, she could have searched the entire Azure Light Island on the first day", Migara explained. "Initially, I thought the destination of the rare familiars might not be here, but we discovered an ancient familiar on the first day, and on the second day, we found an extremely rare Ice Soul Hemp."
"These two types of familiars live in different environments. They can't both reside on Azure Light Island; they must have come from elsewhere, which aligns with the information you provided. So, I continued the search."
"But we found nothing", Migara's tone grew grave. "And I've been paying special attention to the trail of the ancient familiar and the Ice Soul Hemp. Both suddenly vanished on the island."
"Also, this White Mist can't be scanned with Mental Power, but when we arrived here, it seemed no different from ordinary White Mist."
"It's as if this White Mist was deliberately created to waste our time."
Liaoweng's expression also grew serious.
"You mean someone knows about our movements?"
Though he often disagreed with Migara, he acknowledged her strength in certain areas, which is why he had sought her out for this collaboration.
Migara said solemnly, "It might not be a person, but a familiar." (End of Chapter)
