Chapter 852: Pee
Chapter 852: Pee
"Because picking these Water Leap Fruits will trigger an attack from the nearby wild beast companions", Yuan Jiewen explained. "Although the Water Leap Fruits are only effective for Water-type Companion Beasts, it seems they are protected by all the surrounding wild beast companions."
He paused for a moment before adding, "Once, a five-person team came here, with four of them being C-Class Beastmasters and one being a B-Class Master. They picked the Water Leap Fruits and were immediately surrounded by wild beast companions from the sea, land, and air. Later, a King-level familiar even appeared."
"Unfortunately, a B-Class Master can handle a single King-level familiar, but they also had to protect the other four members. With so many wild beast companions attacking, they had no choice but to drop the Water Leap Fruits and escape. This incident caused quite a stir on the Mystic Realm 88 forum for a while."
As they spoke, the Treasure Seeker teleported to the fruit and extended its evil claws.
"Don't pick it!" Qiao Sang's heart raced, and he quickly shouted.
"Xunxun..."
The Treasure Seeker silently retracted its claws.
Qiao Sang let out a sigh of relief and continued the conversation. "What's so special about these Water Leap Fruits?"
Yuan Jiewen thought for a moment and said, "I once read a post that claimed a Water-type Companion Beast with strong Healing Skills lives in this pond. Apparently, all the nearby wild beast companions seek its healing when they are injured."
"The Water Leap Fruits are protected by this Water-type Companion Beast, which is why the other wild beast companions don't allow anyone to pick them."
"Of course, this hasn't been verified, and I don't know who posted it. I just happened to see it, and the post sank quickly after that." Yuan Jiewen finished explaining and asked, "Boss, what should we do now?"
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and replied, "Let's sleep here."
Yuan Jiewen: "???"
Migala glanced at Qiao Sang.
Yuan Jiewen seemed to have an idea but hesitated to speak.
After a long pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, you're not planning to use yourself as bait, are you?"
"Just a trial. Whether we can lure out the familiar that took Lin Bo is uncertain", Qiao Sang said calmly. "If we don't succeed, we'll head to the location where Liu Bo sent his last distress signal."
"Isn't this too risky?" Yuan Jiewen's expression changed rapidly.
The unknown enemy was the most terrifying. Back then, he hadn't heard a thing when Liu Bo vanished. If something happened to the boss, how would he and this clearly weaker Familiar Trainer safely leave this Hidden Realm?
Qiao Sang looked at him. "Do you have a better plan? Or do you know where the familiar that took Liu Bo is?"
Yuan Jiewen fell silent.
He had no better plan, nor did he know which familiar had taken Liu Bo, let alone where it was...
"Where did you sleep when you were here before?" Qiao Sang asked.
Yuan Jiewen pointed to a spot about five meters from the pond. "Right there."
Qiao Sang led Fangy to the spot Yuan Jiewen indicated and nodded at her.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy understood her Beastmaster's meaning and placed her claws on the grass, closing her eyes.
Qiao Sang followed suit and closed his eyes.
"Boss, you..." Yuan Jiewen looked at the scene, puzzled, and was about to ask.
At that moment, the usually quiet Migala whispered, "Don't speak. She must be casting some kind of skill."
Yuan Jiewen, being a C-Class Beastmaster, understood the basics.
Some skills, even if cast by a familiar, can benefit others if the proficiency is high enough, allowing them to share the experience.
He fell silent and glanced at Lin Shi, thinking how weak this guy seemed, yet he remained so calm when the boss suggested using himself as bait. He must not realize the danger...
Qiao Sang closed her eyes.
Fangy’s Sensitivity had reached Mastery Level, so in theory, as long as she had enough energy, she could review all the events that had occurred within the past month.
However, this was just what the textbooks said. Fangy had never tried recalling events from such a long time ago, not even a week. She had no idea how much energy it would require...
As she focused, she saw the sky over the lawn changing, with waves of people coming and going, resting, and then leaving.
During this time, many people had slept on the lawn, but neither those who were sleeping nor those who were on watch had mysteriously disappeared.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Qiao Sang saw the face that appeared in the Mission Assessment Materials, along with the figures of Yuan Jiewen and Qu Yang.
The profiles provided included photos of all three, making them easy to recognize.
The three of them first washed their faces at the Pond, then each drank a sip of Saliva.
Yuan Jiewen and Qu Yang got up from the Pond, opened their backpacks, and took out food and drinks.
At the same time, Liu Bo stood up, walked to the fruit trees, and placed his hand in front of his pants.
Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned, feeling that something was off.
Then, Liu Bo unzipped his pants.
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
Qiao Sang’s mind went blank, as if struck by lightning.
Ah! Ah!
My eyes! My eyes!
“Fangy! Fast forward! Fast forward! I don’t want to see this!” Qiao Sang shouted frantically.
As she panicked, Fangy fast-forwarded the scene.
The next moment, Liu Bo had finished and zipped up his pants.
Qiao Sang let out a deep breath of relief.
That was scary. I almost got eye strain...
Suddenly, she noticed a large shadow appearing in the Pond, as if a pair of eyes were staring at Liu Bo.
A wild beast companion? Qiao Sang’s heart raced, and she quickly resumed her observational status.
However, the shadow in the Pond disappeared the next second, diving back into the water.
Just passing by? Qiao Sang silently noted the shadow’s appearance in her mind.
She remembered that the shadow had not appeared when the previous groups were by the Pond.
As night fell, Yuan Jiewen and Qu Yang went to sleep.
Liu Bo and his familiar kept watch.
The shadow in the Pond reappeared.
It still didn’t surface.
Instead, a faint blue gas wafted out from the water.
Immediately after, Liu Bo and his familiar uncontrollably closed their eyes, swayed, and fell backward.
About five seconds later, a frog familiar, about a meter tall, jumped out of the Pond, dragging Liu Bo by the foot toward the water.
At that moment, the shadow in the Pond seemed to shake its head.
The frog familiar paused, then changed direction and walked into the forest.
Qiao Sang suddenly opened her eyes.
“Boss, are you okay?” Yuan Jiewen approached, concerned, having heard her frantic shouting.
“I’m fine,” Qiao Sang shook her head.
It seems the water-type companion beast in the Pond took Liu Bo, but why was he the only one targeted when so many others who rested here were fine?
Wait, Liu Bo did something that no one else did... Qiao Sang’s eyes fixed on Yuan Jiewen as she realized something.
Yuan Jiewen felt a chill run down his spine. “Boss, is there something on my face?”
“Do you trust me?” Qiao Sang asked.
Yuan Jiewen, though puzzled, nodded. “Of course I do.”
He instinctively added, “You’re our team’s pillar of spirit. Who else could I trust?”
“Good,” Qiao Sang said. “Then you’ll keep watch tonight.”
Yuan Jiewen: “???”
After a moment of internal struggle, he asked, “Boss, you weren’t really sleeping, were you?”
“Of course not.”
Since Boss said so... Yuan Jiewen gritted his teeth. “Fine, I’ll keep watch!”
“There’s one more thing.”
“Go on.”
“Before you start your watch, go pee under the fruit trees.”
Yuan Jiewen: “???”
Migala: “???”
