Chapter 790: Capture (Third Update)
Chapter 790: Capture (Third Update)
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
The familiars, tired from their singing, took their food and left one by one.
The number of wild beast companions was dwindling, and soon, only one Doxidora remained.
“Dosi?”
Doxidora approached Qiao Sang, mustering the courage to call out.
The effects of the Healing Waves had long worn off, and it was clear from its stiff body that it was now quite nervous.
“Steel Slash.”
Steel Treasure, who had been dancing all night, flew over to translate.
It asked if they needed to sing again tonight.
Doxidora, an Intermediate Ground Beast Companion, walked on two legs, with most of its body a deep brown. It had a pointed tail and used its tough facial skin to dig into the ground. Typically, its face would be well-developed, and its head would be larger than its body.
However, the Doxidora before them was unusually small, with sunken cheeks and a head that was not as large as its body, clearly a sign of poor development.
Qiao Sang didn't answer immediately but glanced at Treasure Seeker.
“Xunxun~”
Feeling its Beastmaster's gaze, Treasure Seeker immediately floated over.
“Bring out some food.” Qiao Sang said.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker skillfully removed the Ring and pulled out some snacks that all familiars could eat.
Qiao Sang took the snacks, squatted down, and handed them to Doxidora, saying:
“I don't know if I'll come back tonight, but if I do, I'll be here. You can come find me. Also, your singing was very beautiful.”
“Dosi……”
Doxidora took the snacks, looked up at Qiao Sang for a moment, and then ran off.
“Do we have any more food? I'm a bit hungry.” Birit, who had just woken up, suddenly spoke.
“Yes.” Qiao Sang replied, looking at Treasure Seeker.
“Xunxun……”
Treasure Seeker quickly pulled out some food.
When it took out a bag of bread, it seemed to remember something and pulled out another bag.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker first handed the bread to its Beastmaster and then to Birit.
Good kid… Qiao Sang felt a warm feeling in his heart as he took the bread.
Birit, while eating the bread, remarked:
“Adinix is indeed not easy to find.”
We've only been searching for a day. If we could find a Phantom Beast in just one day, it wouldn't be so legendary… Qiao Sang thought to himself but asked calmly:
“How should we proceed today?”
Birit thought for a moment and said:
“Let's find a place where they specialize in trading information. We can also buy a speaker to play pure music and find a group of familiars with good singing voices to accompany it. This might improve our chances.”
“We won't go to the bar. I thought about it, and with so many people, Adinix, as a Phantom Beast, would likely have been caught by humans during its usual waking hours. It won't appear in crowded places.”
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment:
“So, are we going All Night again tonight?”
Birit smiled:
“We slept last night, didn't we? The weather in Supernest is good, so spending the night outside isn't a problem.”
That's you, I didn't sleep… Qiao Sang then thought of the Doxidora from earlier and said:
“I think the familiars sang well last night. We should try to find them again.”
Birit chuckled:
“Wild beast companions are nomadic. Even if we return here, we won't be able to find them all. Besides, after we were here last night, the wild beast companions we caught probably feel this place isn't safe and have already moved on.”
Last night's scene of the familiars singing and dancing flashed through Qiao Sang's mind. She pondered for a few seconds and said, "I actually think they will be here, and they might even be waiting for us."
Hearing this, Birit couldn't help but take it seriously.
If someone else had said this, he might have dismissed it, but it was Qiao Sang speaking. From the way she had Steel Sparrow undergo consecutive Bond Evolutions in a short time, it was clear she had a talent and a promising future in familiar cultivation and psychology.
If she thought so, those familiars might really stay here...
Actually, it would be best if the group of wild beast companions from last night continued to sing.
Their voices were all quite good, and after the initial communication on the first night, the second time would save a lot of time and be much smoother.
Besides, frequently changing locations and finding a new group of familiars wasn't ideal.
It's like a concert; only if it's held in the same place for several days will more and more people hear about it and come specially.
Familiars communicate with each other. Once the news that dozens of familiars take turns singing here spreads, Adinix might come specially...
With this thought, Birit no longer hesitated and nodded, saying, "Since you put it that way, we'll return here tonight. For now, let's find a place to gather intelligence."
Hearing this, Qiao Sang took out her mobile phone to check the time.
Then she formed a hand seal and summoned Fangy.
"Fangy."
Fangy yawned as soon as he appeared.
...
Meanwhile, deep in the dense forest near the Ruins.
"Dosi!"
Doxidora sat down under a large tree with lush branches and leaves, placing the food in her claws in front of her. She picked up a bag of chips, opened it, and her eyes curved into two crescent moons as she happily took a chip.
"Di di."
At that moment, a voice came from the side.
Doxidora turned her head and saw a creature she had never seen before.
This creature held a Red Gem that was crystal clear and full of color.
"Dosi..."
Doxidora had never seen anything so beautiful and was momentarily entranced.
"Di di."
Adinix extended his claws.
"Dosi!"
Doxidora snapped out of it, saw the unfamiliar creature's action, and quickly tucked the chips in her hand, showing a wary expression.
Seeing this, Adinix remembered the other's expression and brought the Flute to his mouth.
Instantly, a clear and distant melody sounded.
"Dosi..."
Doxidora was instantly enchanted.
She felt as if she was experiencing an illusion, the scene before her rippling like water, changing into a barren field covered with wild grass.
"Dosi..."
Doxidora felt that the field in front of her was somewhat familiar.
Soon, the field disappeared and returned to its original form.
The unfamiliar creature was no longer in front of her.
Doxidora suddenly realized something and looked down to find that the entire bag of chips was gone.
"Dosi!!!"
...
On the other side, Fangy seemed to have heard something and turned his head toward the direction of the forest.
Birit picked up his mobile phone and sent a message for a few minutes before putting it down with a serious expression and saying, "We can't spread the news about Adinix."
"Why?" Qiao Sang was puzzled.
"A few groups of people specifically inquired about the Flute Familiar yesterday. They are likely after Adinix as well", Birit said gravely.
Qiao Sang frowned, suddenly understanding.
Birit continued, "If I'm not mistaken, they are looking for Adinix to capture him."
