Chapter 853: Bait
Chapter 853: Bait
"This, it's not quite appropriate, is it..." Yuan Jiewen was completely taken aback by the big shot's words.
Urinate?
Here?
In front of two ladies?
"Can you tell us why?" Migala asked calmly, taking a moment to gather her thoughts.
She believed that Qiao Sang wouldn't make such a request without a good reason.
"Here's the thing. I just had Fangy use Sensitivity to check the scene of when you all rested here..." Qiao Sang tried to keep her explanation short and to the point, summarizing the situation she had seen:
"I found that over the past week, everyone who rested here didn't disappear without cause. At most, they were attacked by a wild beast companion, which is normal, just like when we arrived. Everyone was attacked, but he was taken away alone. The wild beast companion that took him didn't harm the others who were asleep."
"I recalled that the difference was that he urinated under the fruit tree. That's when he was spotted by the wild beast companion in the pond."
Saying this, she looked at Yuan Jiewen. "So I want you to do the same, to draw out that wild beast companion."
Sensitivity, fruit tree, urinate... Yuan Jiewen struggled to process all this information. A thought flashed through his mind: Could Liu Bo really have been targeted by a wild beast companion just because he urinated?
At that moment, Migala spoke slowly:
"Most Water-type Companion Beasts are clean creatures. The Water Leap Fruit tree generally doesn't need fertilization and grows better when water containing Water-Type energy is used to water it. If the person you're looking for was indeed targeted because he urinated near the fruit tree, it's quite possible."
Yuan Jiewen fell silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth. "I understand!"
With that, he walked to the fruit tree and prepared to unzip his pants.
It's just peeing, and being targeted by an unknown wild beast companion!
Since the big shot is here, and they've come this far, he was willing to risk it for the sake of Healing Light and successfully leaving the Hidden Realm.
Qiao Sang and Migala turned away in unison.
Soon, the sound of water splashing followed.
"What level is your Flame Kiru's Sensitivity?" Migala glanced at Fangy and asked.
Qiao Sang was surprised.
"You know its name is Flame Kiru?"
Few people could identify Fangy's species without using a Beast Identifier.
"Of course. I recognized what familiar it was from a distance, which is why I felt comfortable forming a team with you." Migala said without missing a beat.
No wonder... At the time, her focus was on contacting Yuan Jiewen, so it was normal that she didn't hear the distant Beast Identifier.
"It's already at Mastery Level", Qiao Sang replied.
Migala couldn't help but look at Fangy again.
She had seen talented familiars before, but they usually excelled in specific attributes, making progress faster in related skills.
Flame Kiru's primary attribute is fire-type. She remembered that many fire-related skills had reached Mastery Level, and even Awakened to Advanced Skills.
She had assumed that Flame Kiru had a natural talent for fire-related skills, but she hadn't expected such high talent in secondary attributes like Psychic Type skills.
After all, Sensitivity is a Psychic-type Advanced Skill...
"I'm done", Yuan Jiewen said, pulling up his pants and walking over.
"Did you see any strange wild beast companions appear in the pond?" Qiao Sang asked Steel Treasure in her mind.
Most wild beast companions typically focus on humans first and don't really guard against the familiars by their side.
When Yuan Jiewen was taking a break, she had communicated telepathically to have Steel Treasure keep watch over the Pond.
"Steel Slash." Steel Treasure called out in her mind, indicating that something was there, just a shadow, but it didn't surface, so they couldn't see its exact form.
It's definitely that. Qiao Sang continued, "Did it leave?"
"Steel Slash." Steel Treasure nodded.
Qiao Sang then looked at Yuan Jiewen and said, "Let's rest now. It's your turn to keep watch."
Yuan Jiewen was taken aback, "So soon? I haven't prepared yet..."
Qiao Sang was reasonable, "Then go ahead and prepare."
Five minutes later, she asked, "Are you ready?"
Yuan Jiewen: "..."
"Boss, are you really not going to sleep?" Yuan Jiewen asked, a bit uneasy.
"Don't worry. In the Sensitivity, I saw that the wild beast companion released a faint blue gas that caused you to fall into a deep sleep", Qiao Sang explained, understanding his concern. "If I'm not mistaken, it's Water Sleep Gas. My Ghost Ring King can Lick, which can counteract it."
Water Sleep Gas, a Water-Type mid-tier skill, can put the target into a deep sleep state. The gas is a faint blue, making it easy to identify.
Yuan Jiewen was still uneasy, "What if the Ghost Ring King gets hypnotized too?"
Qiao Sang replied, "My Iceapura can use Healing Light. Water Sleep Gas isn't a skill that instantly puts the target to sleep upon inhalation. Even with high proficiency, there's a one to two-second buffer. That's more than enough time."
Healing Light... Yuan Jiewen immediately felt reassured and said earnestly, "Boss, I'm ready."
Qiao Sang nodded slightly and found a spot to lie down.
"Fangy"
Fangy watched the surroundings warily.
"Fangy, come lie down too", Qiao Sang said.
"Fangy"
Although Fangy was uneasy about the environment, he listened to his Beastmaster and came to lie down beside her, closing his eyes.
Seeing his breathing becoming more steady, Qiao Sang couldn't help but remind him:
"Don't really fall asleep."
"Fangy"
Fangy suddenly woke up, his eyes wide with fear.
He almost fell asleep...
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker listened to the entire conversation and discreetly vanished.
"Steel Slash."
Steel Treasure glanced at the Pond, then spread his wings and came to lie down beside his Beastmaster, closing his eyes as if he were sleeping.
Qiao Sang understood that Steel Treasure wasn't really sleeping.
She gave Yuan Jiewen a look that said, "It's up to you", then turned her head to look at the sky, closing her eyes.
At that moment, a shadow appeared in the Pond.
Migala glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, then looked away and smiled at Yuan Jiewen, "It's your turn to keep watch."
She then came to lie down beside Qiao Sang and closed her eyes.
Chirping Frog stood in place, like a backdrop.
Migala suddenly opened her eyes and gave him a faint look.
"Ningning..."
Chirping Frog's body stiffened, and he immediately lay down on his back.
Not keeping watch, but being used as bait... Yuan Jiewen sighed inwardly and exchanged a glance with Bladeclaw, "Don't sleep."
"Shell Blade."
Bladeclaw nodded, showing a reassuring expression.
Meanwhile, the shadow in the Pond disappeared.
Time passed slowly.
About half an hour later, the shadow reappeared in the Pond.
Then, a faint blue gas began to drift out. (End of Chapter)
