Chapter 836: Departure
Chapter 836: Departure
The sky.
Dragon-type Beast Companions, so massive they seemed to block out the sun.
Qiao Sang looked up at everything, feeling utterly bewildered.
She felt herself falling downward.
The figures of the Dragon-type Beast Companions gradually grew smaller.
However, due to the blinding sunlight, she could only see the jagged edges of their wings and a horn on their heads.
Just as she was about to take a closer look at the Dragon-type Beast Companions, everything suddenly froze.
She stopped in mid-air, no longer falling.
What's going on? Is this a dream?
As the thought flashed through her mind, Qiao Sang saw the clouds in the sky rapidly pass by in the opposite direction. The sky cycled from morning to night, to dusk, and back to morning, like a fast-reversing film shot.
Before she could figure out what was happening, everything suddenly resumed its normal pace.
Now, it was broad daylight.
Two Flying Beasts floated by in front of her, with two figures sitting on them, chatting.
"Did you put on sunscreen?"
"Of course, otherwise, we'd be fried from all the flying in the sky."
"The people in Hollow Plains probably have to apply sunscreen even in the dead of winter."
"Ha ha, I think we've arrived. Look, isn't that it?" The speaker pointed to the buildings below.
The person beside them checked their mobile phone and said, "Eternal Sky City Beastmaster Center, this is the place."
As soon as they finished speaking, everything froze again.
Eternal Sky City Beastmaster Center... The scene before her eyes gradually blurred, and Qiao Sang's head grew heavy. She repeated the seven words in her mind, and then everything went black, and she lost consciousness.
...
The next morning.
Qiao Sang suddenly awoke on the plush bed.
What a chaotic dream, and I remember it so clearly... Qiao Sang picked up her mobile phone from the bedside table, checked the time, and saw it was only 6:30. She lay there for a while before slowly getting up, heading to the bathroom for a quick wash, and then moving to the living room.
The first thing she saw was Treasure Seeker, who was sleeping on the computer.
Treasure Seeker is actually sleeping... Qiao Sang's eyes widened in surprise.
She remembered that during the two months when she stayed up all night, even without Lulu's Healing Light, she had never seen Treasure Seeker sleep.
Now it's actually sleeping?
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then turned her head and saw the Crystal Producers sleeping on the floor in the corner.
She quickly scanned the room.
Where's Adinix?
In the past, she could always see it eating in the living room in the morning.
Treasure Seeker is sleeping strangely, and Adinix isn't acting like it usually does... Qiao Sang had a bad feeling.
"Xunxun..."
At that moment, Treasure Seeker stretched its arms and woke up.
"Where's Adinix?" Qiao Sang asked eagerly, hearing the movement.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker blinked its sleepy eyes.
Flute Player isn't here?
It remembered...
Before Treasure Seeker could finish its thought, Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and quickly walked upstairs, opening the first room.
Seeing the snacks still piled up inside, she let out a deep breath of relief.
The snacks are untouched, so Adinix must still be here...
"Xunxun!"
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Treasure Seeker teleported to her side and called out.
It remembered that last night, Flute Player played the flute, and then it fell asleep!
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker paused for a moment, then called out.
It had another dream just like the previous Prediction!
Qiao Sang: "?!!"
...
Half an hour later.
In the hall.
“So, Adinix is no longer in this villa?” Birit asked with a serious expression.
Qiao Sang softly nodded, “I’ve searched every corner.”
Liu Yao hesitated, “But the food we prepared for it, it didn’t take any of it.”
The living room fell into a moment of silence.
“Leaving at such a critical time, I was saying...” Birit’s expression darkened.
Qiao Sang interrupted, “Before leaving, Adinix played the Flute. I asked Fangy and the others, and they all had dreams of different locations. And Treasure Seeker dreamed of the same scene as during the previous Prediction.”
Upon hearing this, Birit’s expression worsened.
Why didn’t it even give a heads-up? He hadn’t even summoned his familiar yet!
Then he seemed to think of something, patted his hair, and asked, “Did you dream of any location?”
One of his hairs rose on its own.
Birit’s expression immediately improved, “Fammoth also had a dream.”
After saying that, he sighed, “At least one familiar went through with the Prediction, otherwise it would have been a wasted effort.”
As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Sang with an envious expression, “I never thought that letting familiars stay outside could have such benefits.”
Qiao Sang didn’t seem excited. She remained silent for a few seconds before finally voicing her doubts, “Why did Adinix leave without saying goodbye?”
After spending time with Adinix, she understood that it would eventually play the Flute for a Prediction, it was just a matter of when.
So, before Adinix confirmed when it would play the Flute, she had bought a ticket back to Blue Star.
She firmly believed that Adinix would help with the Prediction before she left.
But she didn’t expect it to perform the Prediction while everyone was asleep and leave without a word.
It even left behind the food that it usually loved to eat.
They had all gotten along well. It would go to see Treasure Seeker’s movies, help Steel Treasure train, and even cheer at Steel Treasure’s Coordination Competition...
“Xunxun...”
Treasure Seeker looked downcast.
Although it thought the Flute Player ate too much and consumed its stockpile, it felt strange that it had left without a proper goodbye.
Liu Yao had been looking at her mobile phone for some time.
“Don’t try to guess a familiar’s thoughts, especially a Phantom Beast. There’s no standard to go by,” Birit said, pulling out his mobile phone to call someone. “While the content of the Prediction is still fresh, I need to document and study the specific location.”
Liu Yao put down her mobile phone and suddenly asked, “Can Adinix perform Predictions for humans?”
“Never heard of it,” Birit said, scrolling through his contacts. “According to records, Adinix is a Phantom Beast that helps familiars predict the location for their next stage of Evolution. It doesn’t mention anything about humans.”
“Do you think Adinix can perform Predictions for humans? What kind of Prediction? Maybe the location for brain domain development?”
Qiao Sang thought of something, her expression changed, and she asked, “Did you dream of anything last night? Any locations?”
Birit’s hand froze on his mobile phone.
“I asked this question because I had a dream,” Liu Yao said in a serious tone. “It was a strange dream, and I remember it clearly. First, there was a scene, then time reversed, and someone passed by, discussing the specific location of the place.”
"I've never been to this place before. It's been a long time since I had a dream that I could remember so clearly. I just checked, and it turns out this place really exists, and it's in Blue Star."
Qiao Sang took a deep breath. "I had the same Dream..."
Birit's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but grip her mobile phone tightly. "I had the same dream too..."
The living room fell silent once again.
This time, everyone's heart was racing.
Qiao Sang swallowed hard and suddenly turned to look at Treasure Seeker, asking:
"You said that the dream you had last night was similar to a Prediction, but different. What's different? Is it a specific location?"
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker remembered it clearly, nodding and making a sound.
There was a location: Bosai Manor 101.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker pointed at Qiao Sang, the Beastmaster, and gestured.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "You mean, my mom told me this location?"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker nodded.
At that moment, Qiao Sang's mobile phone vibrated.
She glanced at the caller ID and instinctively answered.
"Hello, daughter, have you packed everything? What time are you leaving?" Her mother's voice came through the phone.
"Everything's packed, and my ticket is for 11:00 AM", Qiao Sang replied.
Ye Xiangting laughed. "That's good. Remember to..."
Qiao Sang interrupted. "Mom, I have a question."
Ye Xiangting sensed the seriousness in her daughter's tone and became more formal.
"Go ahead and ask."
"What is Bosai Manor 101?"
Liu Yao and Birit perked up their ears, openly listening to the conversation.
"Isn't that the house I bought for you near Imperial Beastmaster Academy?" Ye Xiangting asked, surprised. "How did you find out the address?"
Upon hearing this, the three of them looked up, shocked, and exchanged glances.
Qiao Sang steadied herself, spoke a few words, and hung up the phone.
She took a deep breath and said, "Adinix's Prediction this time is different. Last time, Treasure Seeker only dreamed of a place, but this time, it was a specific address, as if someone in the dream was deliberately telling you."
She paused and added, "Each of us and our familiars had the same dream."
Birit's expression was complex. "It seems we don't need to find a familiar with Memory Scan anymore."
The living room fell silent for the third time.
"Should we clear out the food upstairs?" Liu Yao asked.
"No", Qiao Sang said, hiding her emotions. "Adinix might come back. If it returns and finds the food we promised it is gone, it might get angry."
Birit checked the time on her mobile phone and stood up. "It will take a few hours for the journey and security checks. You should prepare to leave."
"Alright", Qiao Sang stood up.
"We'll see you at Imperial Beastmaster Academy", Birit said with a smile.
"Imperial Beastmaster Academy."
"We'll see you at Blue Star", Liu Yao said, looking at Birit and extending her hand.
"Blue Star", Birit replied, shaking her hand.
After saying goodbye to Professor Bilet and the already awakened Crystal Producers, Qiao Sang climbed onto Fangy's back, and they set off with Liu Yao for the Starport in the First District.
