Chapter 601: Grain-Touched Sparrow
Chapter 601: Grain-Touched Sparrow
Steel Treasure's expression quickly turned to confusion.
How did we end up in Zone 27?
Qiao Sang, as if reading Steel Treasure's thoughts, explained:
"We have a class here."
Hearing this, Steel Treasure's face showed a thoughtful expression.
After spending some time together, Qiao Sang wasn't entirely sure about Steel Treasure, but she understood about 70% of its behavior.
Seeing Steel Treasure's expression, she keenly sensed its thoughts.
Qiao Sang said:
"Don't even think about sneaking back home."
"Ganggang?"
Steel Treasure wore an expression that said, "Why would you think that?"
"Don't play dumb", Qiao Sang laughed. "I know you well enough. Besides, didn't you tell me before that you wanted to go home?"
"Ganggang..."
Steel Treasure looked embarrassed, not expecting to be seen through.
It was about to explain that it just wanted to take a quick look and would come back, but Qiao Sang spoke up:
"If you want to go, go openly. I'll go with you to check things out."
Since Steel Treasure had the idea of going home, it was better to let it happen. Otherwise, it might run too far and be out of her brain domain's range. It was safer to go with it.
After all, Steel Treasure was a familiar with a strong sense of independence. Even if she didn't let it go, there was a high chance it would sneak back on its own. It had, after all, journeyed from Zone 27 to the Third District all by itself, which wasn't a small feat.
"Ganggang..."
Steel Treasure was taken aback, its expression asking, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Qiao Sang smiled. "I'm a pretty trustworthy person, right?"
"Ganggang..."
Steel Treasure glanced at Fangy, who was confused and blinked.
"Ganggang!"
Steel Treasure looked away and nodded, its conscience a bit guilty. Regardless, it believed its Beastmaster wouldn't lie about this.
"Let's hurry up and finish the exam first", Qiao Sang said, pulling out her mobile phone to check the navigation.
"The teacher only said to get to 106 Awo Avenue, without specifying how we should get there. That's why I'm confident we'll have enough time to go home afterward."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker called out, its eyes glowing blue.
In the next second, Qiao Sang, sitting on Fangy's back, found herself two hundred meters up in the air.
Then, four hundred meters, six hundred meters, eight hundred meters...
Soon, Qiao Sang and Fangy were just a dot in the sky, disappearing from sight.
With Treasure Seeker's current energy and proficiency in Spatial Shift, it wasn't impossible to move several targets directly one kilometer away. However, the destination was out of sight, and precise coordinates were needed. Since this was Treasure Seeker's first time here and it wasn't familiar with the terrain, Qiao Sang didn't want to take the risk.
Moving in two-hundred-meter increments was perfect; it allowed for quick relocation while ensuring they didn't go off course.
"Gui gui!"
Wraithvine, seeing its protectee suddenly vanish, was initially stunned, then frantically ran to catch up, but the ground was too cluttered with obstacles. It watched helplessly as its protectee disappeared from view.
...
"Now, move 2.4 kilometers to the left", Qiao Sang said, looking at the navigation.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker nodded and obediently changed direction.
Despite the continuous Spatial Shifts, Qiao Sang's expression remained unchanged. With proper preparation, she was somewhat numb to the negative effects of Spatial Shift.
On the way, Qiao Sang overtook many classmates who had set off on their Flying-type Companions, including Tang Yi.
“Xunxun…”
Five minutes later, Treasure Seeker wiped the non-existent sweat from its forehead, then removed the Ring and skillfully pulled out a bottle of B-Class Energy Restorative to drink.
Spatial Shift is an Advanced Skill, and using it so many times in quick succession had left Treasure Seeker exhausted.
“Let’s take a break,” Qiao Sang said, noticing its state.
They were now less than six kilometers away from Awo Avenue 106. As long as nothing went wrong, they would arrive soon.
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker nodded vigorously.
It floated over to Fangy, lying on its back while drinking the B-Class Energy Restorative and gazing at the clear blue sky.
“Ganggang…”
Steel Treasure flew over and lay down next to Treasure Seeker, also looking up at the sky.
It felt like it had been a long time since it had relaxed like this…
At that moment, a bird familiar with a body over three meters long, adorned with extremely colorful and beautiful feathers that shimmered in the sunlight, flew gracefully past, six meters above Fangy.
As it flew by, it glanced at Fangy and then seemingly nonchalantly looked away.
Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded:
“Graintouched Sparrow, High-Grade Flying Familiar, entirely gray, with no distinctive features. However, they like to paint themselves with various colors or stick other familiars’ feathers on their bodies, as they find themselves unattractive.”
“Research shows that the uglier a Graintouched Sparrow is, the more likely it is to cover itself in various colors.”
“Ganggang!” Steel Treasure abruptly stood up, panicking and trying to turn off the Familiar Identifier in Treasure Seeker’s hand.
Unfortunately, it was the first time it had encountered the device and didn’t know how to use it.
The mechanical voice continued:
“If you encounter a Graintouched Sparrow with a colorful body, it is definitely very ugly. These types of Graintouched Sparrows have very strong egos, so it is recommended not to spray any Water-Type Skills on them, as the consequences can be unimaginable.”
The elegant bird familiar in flight suddenly stiffened.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker’s expression changed to one of realization. So, those beautiful feathers were all dyed.
“Ganggang…”
Steel Treasure silently covered its face with its wings.
With such a strong ego, revealing that it had dyed its feathers directly in front of it… Qiao Sang couldn’t shake the bad feeling as he watched the Graintouched Sparrow pause its flight nearby.
The next second, his premonition came true.
The Graintouched Sparrow turned its head, looking furious.
Without a word, it flapped its wings, and dozens of air-condensed blades shot toward Fangy.
Fangy reacted quickly, opening its mouth.
A swirling, scorching flame burst forth from its throat.
“Boom!”
The two forces collided and exploded in mid-air, causing the air to violently tremble with the shockwave.
“Huitu!”
As the thick mist cleared, the Graintouched Sparrow raised its head and called out in a high-pitched voice.
“Huitu!”
“Huitu!”
As if in response, the cries of “Huitu” echoed from all directions.
No way… Qiao Sang’s heart raced as he looked around.
He saw numerous Graintouched Sparrows rapidly approaching from all directions, forming a tight encirclement.
