Chapter 684: Xiao Tian and the Yellow-Pelted Electric Mice
Chapter 684: Xiao Tian and the Yellow-Pelted Electric Mice
The moment the teleportation device activated, Xiao Tian felt a sudden weightlessness, as if she were skydiving, uncontrollably plummeting downward.
She found herself in a completely silver spatial tunnel, the walls of which were adorned with colorful "murals." Unfortunately, she couldn't make out the details of these murals.
In the intense acceleration far beyond free fall, all colors in her vision stretched into streaks of light, turning the entire tunnel into a kaleidoscope.
Her thoughts, overwhelmed by the terrifying acceleration, became completely rigid, gradually ceasing to function.
...
It was impossible to tell how long it had been.
It could have been a year, or just a blink of an eye.
When her mind finally regained clarity, she found herself in a strange forest, surrounded by tall, dark blue trees.
Her feet were on a thick layer of dead leaves, and the surrounding forest was deep and silent, with patches of sunlight filtering through the gaps in the branches.
Roar~
A distant, massive roar echoed from somewhere, indicating that her current environment was far from safe.
However, seeing the forest around her, Xiao Tian sighed in relief.
"At least it's not a Skrull town." If it were a town, things would have been much more complicated!
Arriving in an unknown place, Xiao Tian didn't panic.
The cool sensation of the [Mental Stabilizer Potion] kept her mind sharp, and she immediately sprang into action after the teleportation.
"Shoulder bag... still here, weapons, spatial ring, equipment... all accounted for."
She checked herself thoroughly, finding nothing missing after the teleportation.
Especially the shoulder bag containing 200 [Spatial Cores], which Su Yu had entrusted to her, was securely attached to her side.
"I should complete the task Kesi gave me first, and worry about the rest later."
Nodding, Xiao Tian activated the [Disguise] skill to transform her appearance into that of a Skrull, then leaped up onto the canopy of a nearby towering tree.
According to Su Yu's reference plan, she should head to the country of Beck and deliver the [Spatial Cores] to Cindy Doppler, then proceed to the Wild Continent to hunt magical beasts.
First, she needed to determine her current location before considering how to get to Beck.
From the tree canopy, Xiao Tian used the [Eagle Eye] skill to survey the sky and the surroundings.
The sky was mostly a pale blue, occasionally tinged with a hint of pale purple.
This faint purple indicated that she was close to the Luncret Alliance.
The forest stretched as far as the eye could see, and the nearby hills were covered in dense vegetation.
After scanning the area, Xiao Tian fixed her gaze on a specific direction.
About 3 kilometers away, there were signs of small magical beasts.
She could use the [Tame Pet] skill unique to the Archer class to tame one of these small beasts and gather information about this place.
Deciding to act, Xiao Tian descended from the tree like a gust of wind, vanishing from sight in an instant.
...
Two minutes later, Xiao Tian approached her target, a group of small magical beasts.
Upon closer inspection, she realized they were yellow-pelted electric mice.
Ordinary yellow-pelted electric mice were relatively weak. The group in front of Xiao Tian consisted of 10 individuals, with the strongest, a female, being only a third-tier beast, while most were second-tier.
At that moment, the electric mice were playfully chasing each other through the forest, completely unaware of the alien eyes watching them from the shadows.
When the Pika was just 100 meters away, Xiaotian stood firm and cast Tame Beast on the strongest third-stage Pika.
A red "heart" appeared on the third-stage Pika's forehead as she cast the spell.
Then, the Pika's eyes went blank, and it uncontrollably sprinted toward her.
"Pika Pika!" The other Pikas seemed to sense their leader's unusual state and frantically called out to it.
But their cries were in vain.
The Pika leader charged toward Xiaotian like a yellow lightning bolt. By the time it reached her, it was completely tamed and became her new pet.
After all, Xiaotian was a sixth-stage powerhouse, and her Tame Beast skill had a very high success rate, even on fifth-stage magical beasts, let alone a third-stage Pika.
The newly tamed third-stage Pika ran and hopped over to Xiaotian, looking up at its new owner with big, adorable eyes.
"Pika Pika~" It wagged its tail, trying to communicate with its owner.
"Pika Pika!" Fifty meters behind, the second-stage Pikas wailed in distress.
The second-stage Pikas followed, only to find their leader now under the control of the Skrull people. What were they supposed to do now?
Xiaotian didn't pay any attention to the few Pikas that followed.
"Really cute!" She squatted down and gently stroked the third-stage Pika's fur, then took out a handful of walnuts, almonds, and pine nuts to feed it.
The Pikas of the Skrull planet were herbivores and had an extraordinary fondness for nuts, which provided them with essential proteins!
Delighted by the treat, the Pika happily gobbled up the nuts, its eyes seemingly saying, "More! More!"
Xiaotian looked at it affectionately and threw another large handful of nuts at it.
While feeding it, she didn't forget her main task.
She took out a large map of the Skrull planet from her spatial ring and laid it out in front of the Pika. "Little cutie, take a look at this map. Where are we now?"
The Pika, being a magical beast, had intelligence comparable to that of a Skrull person at its third stage. It could understand maps and even some Skrull writing.
After the giant map was spread out, the Pika ran and hopped around, its small eyes carefully searching the map.
After two minutes,
"Pika Pika~" It stood still on a point on the map, looking at Xiaotian with determination, as if saying, "We are here, I guarantee it!"
Xiaotian looked at the spot where the Pika stood and nodded thoughtfully. "The edge of the Wildlands? This location seems quite reliable."
According to the Pika's guidance, she was now at the edge of the Wildlands, very close to the border of the Lankte Alliance.
This confirmed what Xiaotian had observed earlier.
When she saw the faint purple hue in the sky, she knew she wasn't far from the Lankte Alliance. Now, it was clear!
The Pika had given the correct location.
"Alright, go back to your clan! The nuts are your reward."
Xiaotian put the map back into her spatial ring and released the master-pet bond with the third-stage Pika.
Although she really wanted a cute Pika as a pet,
this one was the leader of its clan. Taking it away would lead to the demise of the fragile clan.
Xiaotian waved goodbye to the Pikas and disappeared into the vast forest, heading in the direction of the Beker Kingdom.
