Chapter 851: The Place of Disappearance
Chapter 851: The Place of Disappearance
There are actually so many wild beast companions here... Qiao Sang inwardly cursed, "Damn", but kept a calm exterior.
She understood that she was now the main pillar of the team. If she showed any panic, it would affect everyone else's mindset.
However, when she saw a leaf on Fangy's back suddenly spread its wings and transform into a moth familiar, flying away, her eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
She had been too careless; she hadn't even noticed these familiars until just now...
Is that it? Yuan Jiewen looked at the Tightvine Tree Beast lying unconscious on the ground, then up at the slender figure in the sky, feeling a sudden surge of strong security.
Despite her youthful appearance, this powerhouse was calm and powerful, as if no wild beast companion could be a match for her.
If this had happened to another team coming to the Hidden Realm, encountering the Tightvine Tree Beast would have certainly resulted in at least one person getting injured.
Someone getting injured...
Injured...
Yuan Jiewen suddenly remembered something and glanced at Qiao Sang's backpack, hesitating for a moment. After a few seconds of internal struggle, he decided against pretending to stumble.
Forget it, the binding earlier hadn't really hurt him that much. That unknown familiar had used Healing Light on so many targets at once; it must have expended a lot of energy.
They had just entered the danger zone, and there would be plenty of times they would need healing. It was better not to waste energy unnecessarily.
"Are you okay?" Qiao Sang asked Yuan Jiewen.
Yuan Jiewen shook his head. "I'm fine."
He said sincerely, "It's all thanks to you, powerhouse, for acting so quickly."
"The first one to act was Shell Blade Hao", Qiao Sang said.
"Shell Blade!"
Shell Blade Hao crossed his claws over his chest, displaying a "It's my duty" expression.
Yuan Jiewen: "..."
Your quick save earlier almost saved me from being strangled to death by the Tightvine Tree Beast.
With the powerhouse and another person in front, he gave Shell Blade Hao enough face and didn't voice his thoughts.
"Powerhouse, how did you recognize that it was a Tightvine Tree Beast just now?" Yuan Jiewen asked.
The Tightvine Tree Beast, when standing still and camouflaged, looked very much like a tree. In Mystic Realm 88, the Tightvine Tree Beasts were especially tall, making it hard to see their full form, and they were well-hidden in the thickets, making them hard to identify.
Many people entering Mystic Realm 88 had been ambushed by Tightvine Tree Beasts.
"It was my familiar who told me", Qiao Sang replied.
The information that the giant tree was a familiar had been relayed to her by Steel Treasure, who was flying in the air, through telepathy.
The image of the giant tree, combined with the information from the guide she had read earlier, led her to immediately think of the Tightvine Tree Beast.
Familiar said? Yuan Jiewen suddenly remembered something, looked up at Fangy, and showed a mix of realization and embarrassment.
He had thought the familiar was suddenly out of control and trying to attack him, but it had actually detected the Tightvine Tree Beast and helped solve the problem.
As they talked, Fangy landed on the ground.
Qiao Sang jumped off Fangy.
Before Lin Shi could move, Fangy turned his head, his eyes glowing blue, and used Psychic Power to control Lin Shi, making him get off.
"Thank you", Lin Shi said to Fangy.
Well, it just didn't want you to stay on its back for too long... Qiao Sang said with a serious expression, "Let's go. It's dangerous here, and we shouldn't stay too long."
"Wait", Lin Shi said as he approached the unconscious Tightvine Tree Beast, plucking a few dark green leaves from its body.
The leaves of this color from the Tightvine Tree Beast, when added to the Growth Elixir, can accelerate the growth of a familiar's body size.
Migala didn't forget that she was here to collect materials.
"Are you a pharmacist?" Yuan Jiewen asked curiously.
"No", Migala shook her head. "I'm a Familiar Trainer."
Compared to the domain of potions, she was more focused on familiar cultivation.
No wonder she needed protection. However, Chirping Frog didn't seem to have intervened even when they encountered danger earlier. Yuan Jiewen gave Chirping Frog a sidelong glance.
Chirping Frog maintained a composed demeanor, eyes lowered and nose pointed inward.
Once Lin Shi had collected the materials, the three of them continued deeper into the Hidden Realm.
Along the way, the trees around them grew increasingly taller.
Later on, the height of the towering trees became almost unimaginable.
With the previous experiences, Qiao Sang became increasingly vigilant, observing her surroundings carefully.
She discovered that the fallen leaves were familiars, the dry twigs she accidentally stepped on were familiars, the water droplets dripping from the leaves were the saliva of familiars, and even the fine sand blown by the wind was the feces of a familiar, all aimed at masking the scent of intruders.
When Qiao Sang learned this, she felt a chill run down her spine.
"Try not to block these dark brown 'sand' grains from blowing onto your face", Yuan Jiewen said. "Although they are the feces of Sandspear Ants, they have the effect of masking our scent. The more of this 'sand' on us, the safer we'll be."
Qiao Sang's face turned slightly pale, her mouth tightly closed, and her breathing slowed, fearing she might accidentally inhale these 'sand' grains.
Lin Shi, on the other hand, continued forward without a change in expression, collecting some materials along the way.
"Fangy, Fangy",
Fangy's head swiveled from side to side, searching for the Sandspear Ants.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker, hearing this, nodded in agreement and deliberately floated to an area with more of the dark brown 'sand.' It then scooped up a handful and smeared it on itself.
Then, it seemed to remember something and, with both paws, scooped up another handful and floated in front of its Beastmaster, offering it with a show of pride.
Qiao Sang's lips twitched, and she politely declined, "You can use it yourself."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker glanced up and noticed Steel Treasure.
The next moment, it teleported next to Steel Treasure and offered the dark brown 'sand.'
"Steel Slash."
Steel Treasure looked at the 'sand,' nodded, and indicated that it was acceptable.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker quickly smeared the 'sand' on Steel Treasure.
It had only one little brother now, and it needed to protect him well.
After Fangy dealt with a suddenly charging snake familiar, Qiao Sang stepped out of the forest.
The view ahead suddenly opened up.
A clear, emerald pond lay before them, with small fruit trees growing around it, heavy with fruit.
Occasionally, a Water-type Companion Beast would leap out of the pond.
The beautiful scene before them did not relax Yuan Jiewen. His expression remained serious as he said, "This is where Liu Bo went missing."
It was here... Qiao Sang scanned the area, her gaze settling on the fruit trees by the pond. She asked, "Why haven't the fruits been picked?"
Beastmasters entering the Hidden Realm generally had a few purposes: missions, training, finding rare familiars, or collecting materials.
The fruit here was Water Leap Fruit, which could invigorate Water-type Companion Beasts. It usually sold for 1000 Union Coins per fruit.
So many Water Leap Fruits left unpicked was highly unusual. (End of Chapter)
