Chapter 789: Ruby Crystal (Second Update)
Chapter 789: Ruby Crystal (Second Update)
Intimidation, commonly known as Dominant Aura, is scientifically referred to as Oppressive Aura.
When Oppressive Aura reaches a certain level and the opponent's level is far below one's own, it can directly intimidate or scare the opponent into unconsciousness.
However, they usually wake up after a few minutes without any real harm.
Of course, it might still leave some psychological trauma for more fragile familiars.
In the open area, about three minutes later, the specially selected familiars began to awaken one by one.
When they saw Fammoth's figure, they instinctively trembled with fear.
Their fur stood on end, and they let out startled cries, fleeing in a frenzy.
"Healing Waves", Qiao Sang said.
Lulu opened her backpack and jumped out.
Without a word, she opened her mouth and began to sing:
"Chill~ Chill~ Chill chill chill~ Chill chill chill~"
With her song, an invisible wave of sound spread out.
The familiars, who were in a state of panic, quickly calmed down and stopped in their tracks.
As their minds became peaceful, they lost their sense of danger, forgetting to flee. Instead, they looked at the humans and familiars who had captured them, displaying a "Why did you catch us?" expression.
Iceapura's skills are truly useful... Birit thought to himself and said aloud:
"I hope you can sing well. Once you're done, we'll let you go."
"Guanguan..."
"Doxi..."
"Qinglie..."
The familiars looked at each other, then at the human who spoke, with an expression that said, "Why should we sing?"
Being peaceful doesn't mean they lack intelligence; it just means they can think more calmly.
In other words, they understood that Fammoth was a powerful being, but they no longer felt much fear.
Since they weren't afraid, the familiars naturally wouldn't immediately agree to anything the human said.
Birit was taken aback, thinking about how to phrase his request, when Qiao Sang spoke up:
"If you sing, we'll prepare food for you. One song for one meal. How does that sound?"
"Xunxun~"
As soon as the words were out, Treasure Seeker took off his ring and pulled out several bags of snacks, as well as some energy pills and fruits suitable for familiars.
These were items he had bought from a familiar food store while stocking up on artifacts and materials.
Since he used an unlimited credit card, he didn't mind the cost.
Qiao Sang had noticed that, despite the wild beast companions in Zone Thirty seeming to roam freely, much more so than those in the Upper Ten Districts or Middle Ten Districts, they actually received fewer resources on average and often had to compete for food.
Many not-so-powerful wild beast companions often went hungry, unable to find enough to eat. Otherwise, they wouldn't be working in human society to earn Union Coins or food.
"Guanguan..."
"Doxi..."
"Qinglie..."
The wild beast companions looked at the food on the ground with calm expressions.
"Rumble..."
At that moment, a growling sound came from a stomach.
Qiao Sang followed the sound and found it was Doxidora.
"Doxi?"
Doxidora didn't feel embarrassed by its growling stomach. It calmly called out, asking if it could eat first.
"Steel Slash."
Before Treasure Seeker could translate, Steel Treasure took the initiative to do so.
"Of course", Qiao Sang nodded with a smile.
"Doxi."
Doxidora walked over to a pile of fruits it usually couldn't get to, picked one up, and took a bite.
Despite its calm demeanor, it instinctively paused for a moment before devouring the fruit in large bites.
"Rumble..."
More and more familiars' stomachs began to rumble.
"You can all sing after you've filled your bellies", Qiao Sang said, seeing the situation.
The familiars looked at each other, then saw how Doxidora was eating. Unable to resist the temptation, they moved forward and began to devour the pile of food ravenously.
"What if they finish eating and don't want to sing anymore?" Birit frowned, concerned.
To him, Qiao Sang's method seemed viable, but he thought it would be better to wait until the familiars had all sung before giving them the food, to avoid the risk of them reneging on the deal. After all, wild beast companions were unpredictable.
"We still have Fammoth, right? If it comes to it, we can intimidate them again", Qiao Sang waved his hand, unconcerned.
Whether through kindness or force, the familiars would eventually comply with one of them.
Birit, hearing this, said no more.
"Xunxun..."
Dozens of familiars gathered around to eat. Treasure Seeker, at some point, squeezed in and silently took out a bag of chips.
The food was quickly finished.
"Doxi."
Doxidora called out first, indicating that she was ready to sing.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker, with a calm expression, removed the Ring and took out the Amplifier he had bought before, floating it to the side. He then demonstrated how to use the Microphone with a "Xunxun" and handed it over.
"Doxi."
Doxidora took the Amplifier and began to sing.
"Doxi~ Doxi~ Do Doxi~"
Surprisingly, it was quite pleasant to listen to... Qiao Sang thought, appreciating Doxidora's voice.
The familiars all stayed quietly by the side, not a single one leaving.
They actually all stayed... Birit's eyes flashed with surprise.
After Doxidora finished singing, the black-and-white Bear Beasts took over:
"Dan Dan~ Dan~ Dan Dan~"
"Doxi?"
While the black-and-white Bear Beasts were singing, Doxidora came to Qiao Sang and called out, indicating that she would sing another song if she could have another meal.
"Steel Slash."
Steel Treasure translated again, taking the initiative.
Qiao Sang paused, then smiled. "Of course."
So Doxidora stayed.
More and more familiars began to sing. After they finished, they didn't leave but chose to stay, just like Doxidora.
After some time, a rustling sound came from the surroundings.
Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the noise and saw wild beast companions drawn by the singing, peeking through the bushes and gaps in the leaves.
Qiao Sang tried to identify any similarities in their eyes to Adinix, but found none.
The night was deep, and a gentle breeze blew.
The familiars gradually let down their guard and began to dance or spin to the music.
Some of the wild beast companions, attracted by the songs, couldn't resist joining the dance queue.
"Ice Ai..."
Lulu jumped out of the backpack and swayed her tail to the rhythm of the music.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker spun in the air, spinning and spinning again.
"Steel Slash."
Steel Treasure joined the group of wild beast companions, dancing and interacting with them.
Qiao Sang gradually relaxed, lying flat on the ground, gazing at the moon, whose outer edges were the only part illuminated. He felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
Birit had fallen asleep at some point.
"Fafa..."
Fammoth stood guard beside his Beastmaster, swaying his head to the music.
A pair of ruby-like eyes peered through the gaps in the bushes, watching the scene.
If someone had seen this familiar with ruby-like eyes at that moment, they would have noticed that it held a Ruby Crystal Flute in its claws.
