Chapter 1115: Another World
Chapter 1115: Another World
Worin.
Steel Treasure was soaring high in the sky, flapping its wings.
A gale swept through.
Qingbao occasionally transformed into wind, controlling the direction of the gale and dispersing the surrounding mist.
The mist swirled, and the scene before them became clearer.
After about three seconds, the white mist inexplicably surged back.
Qiao Sang navigated through the jungle, following the briefly clear path.
After walking for about ten minutes, she suddenly stopped.
Steel Treasure also halted.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker, who had been darting through the white mist, drifted back to Qiao Sang's side, calling out to ask why they had stopped.
"I feel something strange", Qiao Sang said.
"Qingqing?" Qingbao floated over, calling out curiously.
What's strange?
"Don't you think this mist is unlike normal mist? It surges back too quickly", Qiao Sang said.
Steel Treasure's gale, combined with Qingbao's control over the wind, could disperse the mist within a hundred meters. Sometimes, when Steel Treasure exerted a bit more force, it could even clear the mist within a kilometer.
However, no matter how large the area cleared, the mist would surge back in about three seconds, completely obscuring everything. This was unlike normal mist and was quite eerie.
"Ya Ya!"
Hearing Qiao Sang's words, Fangy seemed to understand something and immediately became alert, observing the surroundings.
Lulu, who had just returned to the backpack, silently poked her head out again.
"Tingting..."
Thunder Dragon completely ignored Qiao Sang's words and instead watched Lulu's head emerge from the backpack, looking conflicted.
Qiao Sang continued:
"Fangy, Treasure Seeker, use your Mental Power to scan this area and see what's wrong."
Psychic-type familiars generally have higher Mental Power than other familiars at the same stage. At the Royal Tier, they can use their Mental Power to sense their surroundings directly. Treasure Seeker usually uses Mental Power to sense locations for navigation.
Although Fangy can't perform Spatial Shift, using Mental Power for sensing isn't a problem.
"Ya Ya!"
"Xunxun~"
Fangy and Treasure Seeker called out, their eyes glowing blue.
"Ya Fangy"
"Xunxun~"
After a few seconds, the blue glow in their eyes disappeared, and they shook their heads, indicating that they found nothing.
Nothing at all... Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there any familiars nearby?"
"Ya Fangy"
"Xunxun~"
Fangy and Treasure Seeker shook their heads again, indicating no.
No familiars at all... Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.
According to the mysterious old man, due to the constant mist, familiars often get lost in this area, so it's rare to find any here. However, it shouldn't be completely devoid of familiars.
Perhaps she was overthinking it. Familiars are small, and Fangy and Treasure Seeker had only done a rough scan, so it was possible they missed something...
Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and said:
"Never mind, let's keep moving."
...
At the same time, within the white mist, pairs of eyes of different colors and shapes were closely watching Qiao Sang and Fangy's movements.
In Worin, it seemed there was another world. The surroundings, once shrouded in dense white mist, had transformed into a mountainous landscape filled with vibrant flowers of various colors, lush green plants, and teeming with life.
On the trees, flowers, grass, and in the air, countless familiars that would normally draw crowds and screams were scattered everywhere.
In the air, a screen formed of energy floated, displaying the scene of Qiao Sang and Fangy moving through Worin.
"Gel."
A horse-like familiar with a predominantly blue body, white stripes, and a pair of white wings turned to a nearby familiar that was about a meter tall and entirely made of white mist, calling out.
"Misty..."
The misty familiar, entirely composed of white mist, looked embarrassed, scratching its head. Then, it clasped its paws together and began to channel energy.
...
In the forest, Qiao Sang suddenly stopped.
"Ya Ya?"
Fangy, noticing this, also stopped and called out, asking what was wrong.
"Steel Chief."
Before Qiao Sang could respond, Steel Treasure, observing the surroundings with a serious expression, called out, indicating that the mist's return time had changed.
"That's right", Qiao Sang nodded. "If it was about three seconds before, now it's around ten seconds. The time has increased significantly."
"Ya Ya?"
Fangy looked puzzled.
What does that matter?
Qiao Sang's expression turned grave.
"Over the past few minutes, the mist's return time was consistently around three seconds. But after I mentioned this, it suddenly changed to about ten seconds. Don't you think that's a serious issue?"
"Ya Fangy"
Fangy tried to grasp the severity of the problem.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker seemed to have an epiphany, looking terrified and calling out.
Could this mist be conscious!
Mist? Conscious? Fangy struggled to process this.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao's eyes showed a hint of excitement, but it quickly subsided, replaced by worry. The familiar floated beside its Beastmaster, calling out, indicating how frightening it was and what they should do.
"We need to get out of here first", Qiao Sang decided resolutely.
Huh? Qingbao was taken aback; this wasn't the answer it wanted.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker's terrified expression turned to one of regret, calling out, wondering if they couldn't play a bit more.
While the idea of the mist being conscious was frightening, the presence of Big Brother Yabao and Lulu made it feel quite secure.
...
In the same area, another part of the world.
"Tall."
A cat-like familiar with a predominantly pink body looked disdainfully at the misty familiar.
"Misty..."
The misty familiar looked dejected.
"Gel."
The horse-like familiar with white wings comforted it, calling out, indicating that it was fine since the human would be leaving soon.
"Misty."
The misty familiar perked up again.
"Gather!"
Suddenly, a familiar wearing glasses, with a predominantly white body and extremely long eyebrows that hung down, looking quite old, saw a shadow on the screen and called out with a serious expression.
All the familiars looked over.
"Armor."
The familiar covered entirely in golden armor, with no shadow inside, glanced at the screen and quickly scanned a list, shaking its head to indicate that the shadow was not on the list.
"Gather!"
The familiar with the long eyebrows called out again, insisting that it had not sensed anything wrong.
The familiars looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
The misty familiar was very hesitant.
"Summer."
At that moment, a young voice spoke up.
The familiars looked at the speaker and nodded in agreement.
"Misty."
The misty familiar finally overcame its hesitation, nodded, and then clasped its paws together, channeling energy.
...
On the other side.
"I'll go back and check what's happening and come back tomorrow", Qiao Sang said cautiously.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker looked resigned, its eyes glowing blue.
However, at that moment, the surrounding mist began to surge violently, enveloping Qiao Sang and Fangy as if swallowing their shadows.
"Steel Treasure! Qingbao!" Qiao Sang called out.
"Steel Chief." Steel Treasure's voice echoed in response.
Then, a gale of wind swept through.
The white mist around them dissipated for the nth time.
Qiao Sang suddenly realized something was wrong and looked around.
Where's Qingbao?!
