Chapter 793: Flute Melody
"No..."
The blue ripple above the dense forest disappeared, and Birit's rising anticipation gradually faded as he watched the wild beast companions emerge from the woods.
No sign of Adinix...
Under Neudikaka's Hypnosis, if Adinix had been in the forest, it would have surely come out.
Flame Kiru has Sensitivity, and what Qiao Sang saw through Synchronization was certainly a real event.
Given this, the absence of Adinix means that it was in the forest this morning but left later...
Birit exhaled, his mood complex.
At that moment, Qiao Sang said, "Teacher, Adinix didn't come out."
Do I have to say it... Birit sighed, "It's probably not in there now."
"Why?" Qiao Sang couldn't understand his certainty.
"Neudikaka's Hypnosis covers the entire forest. Unless it's an Imperial Tier or higher familiar, it wouldn't be able to resist the Hypnosis", Birit explained patiently.
Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds, then asked, "What level is Adinix?"
There isn't much information available online about Phantom Beasts and those legendary familiars.
In most cases, when you search for a specific familiar within the Phantom Beast category, the information provided is often straightforward, labeling them as Phantom Beasts or legendary familiars, rarely including their level.
Unless the familiar has been bonded and has real data available.
Birit fell silent.
He wasn't really sure about this...
"Some Phantom Beasts have Evolution paths, while others remain in one form throughout their existence..." Birit paused, then continued, "Adinix is likely one of the latter."
A Phantom Beast that remains in one form from start to finish doesn't mean it's weak. On the contrary, many Phantom Beasts that have existed for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years and still retain their original form are incredibly powerful.
Experts suggest that these Phantom Beasts' bodies are inherently capable of withstanding energy, so they don't need to evolve to strengthen their bodies or expand their energy.
He hadn't considered the possibility that Adinix had reached the Imperial Tier because he hadn't encountered an Imperial Tier wild beast companion in reality for a long time, and given that Adinix can sleep for a century, he subconsciously ruled out this possibility...
An Imperial Tier Phantom Beast... Birit's thoughts were swirling.
If Adinix had indeed reached the Imperial Tier, should he continue searching?
If it were just him, it wouldn't matter, but now he had an Imperial Class prodigy by his side, and she couldn't afford any mistakes...
Birit opened his mouth, "Maybe we should..."
At the same time, Qiao Sang said, "If Adinix is a Royal Beast, there's a chance it's still in there. Should we go in and look?"
Birit was taken aback, "Aren't you afraid?"
Qiao Sang was also surprised, "Why would I be afraid?"
Birit looked at her intently, "You just said Adinix could be a Royal Beast."
Qiao Sang met his gaze with trust, "But you're here, aren't you?"
Birit paused, then a confident smile spread across his face, "You're right. Adinix is likely still in there, but we don't need to go in specifically to find it."
He then looked up and shouted to Neudikaka in the sky:
"Sense if there are any powerful beings inside!"
"Neu."
Neudikaka let out a cry and closed its eyes.
An invisible ripple spread from its body, rippling over the forest and continuously expanding.
Insight, an Advanced Psychic Skill, can lock onto a general area and perform a thorough search. Professor Bilet likely didn't have Neudikaka use this skill earlier because there were too many wild beast companions in the forest. Now that the wild beast companions with mental power inferior to Neudikaka have emerged, it's easier to check the remaining familiars in the forest... Qiao Sang felt relieved.
One of the perks of working with a powerhouse is that you don’t have to worry about anything. You can just lie back and relax.
“Gugu!”
A few seconds later, a thunderous roar echoed through the dense forest, sending a shiver down everyone’s spine.
Immediately after, a powerful Gale surged from the depths of the woods.
Is it Adinix? Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up as she sensed the massive disturbance.
But the next moment, her heart sank.
In the center of the forest, a large swath of trees crashed to the ground. A bird familiar, nearly thirty meters in size and covered in pitch-black armor, spread its massive Wings that seemed to blot out half the sky, and flew straight toward Neudikaka.
An arrogant aura radiated from it.
Its appearance clearly did not match the Adinix she had seen in online searches.
Without a word, the pitch-black armored bird familiar opened its mouth.
The Air around it grew chaotic as a terrifying white wave began to form in its throat!
All the wild beast companions that had been Hypnotized and had a dazed expression suddenly snapped out of it and began to panic, fleeing in all directions.
The enchanting music abruptly stopped.
The scene became chaotic in an instant.
Just as the bird familiar, radiating a terrifying aura, was about to launch its attack, Birit’s face changed slightly, and he shouted, “Move!”
“Nu.”
Neudikaka, hearing its Beastmaster’s command, its eyes glowing with blue light, and the next moment, both it and the pitch-black armored bird familiar vanished into thin air.
The sky instantly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Most of the familiars had already fled.
Qiao Sang silently glanced at Birit.
Birit’s face was slightly embarrassed, and he coughed, saying, “I didn’t expect there to be another Royal Beast in here.”
For a Royal Beast, being scanned by a Mental Power skill like Insight is akin to being Taunted. If it has a bad temper, it could lead to a situation like the one we just encountered.
Qiao Sang maintained a polite smile and asked, “What should we do now?”
“Neudikaka can’t be summoned back for the time being. Once it returns, that Armorclad Sovereign will follow the scent and come back,” Birit paused, then continued, “Let’s go in and search directly.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Stay calm, this is a powerhouse, this is my teacher. Think positively, at least Neudikaka’s appearance eliminated one dangerous factor in the forest… Qiao Sang calmed down and was about to nod in agreement.
At that moment, a melodious flute tune drifted into their ears.
Qiao Sang felt an overwhelming wave of drowsiness wash over her. She couldn’t resist it and closed her eyes, collapsing to the ground.
The flute tune—could it be Adinix… Birit’s body swayed as a similar wave of drowsiness hit him. Unable to resist, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground as well.
Fangy and the remaining wild beast companions also collapsed.
“Fafa…”
Fammoth struggled to keep its eyes open, resisting the urge to fall.
It vaguely saw a figure holding a red object appear before it.
The melodious flute tune intensified.
“Fafa…”
A tidal wave of drowsiness swept over Fammoth, making its eyelids feel as heavy as lead. No matter how strong its willpower, it couldn’t stay awake.
Its eyes closed, and it finally collapsed with a thud.
“Di Di.”
Adinix looked at the two people and the pile of familiars on the ground, then its gaze fell on the Treasure Seeker’s Ring.
“Di Di?”
Adinix’s eyes lit up, as if it had found something interesting. It approached the sleeping Treasure Seeker and took the Ring off its head.
It shook the Ring in its hand, examined it, and shook it again.
“Di Di…”
Finding nothing, Adinix pouted.
Then it seemed to have an idea and looked at the Treasure Seeker.
“Di Di…”
Adinix grabbed the Treasure Seeker’s claws and dragged it into the forest.
About ten meters away, a wild beast companion lying on the ground blinked its tiny, pea-sized eye.
