“Duo-xi!”
Dosidola saw the picture on the phone, and its eyes instantly flared with anger as it let out an indignant yet slightly aggrieved cry.
Even before Yabao translated, Qiao Sang could already sense sothing unusual from Dosidola’s expression and tone.
Hope lit up in her eyes.
“Yabao, what did it say?”
“Yap yap!”
Yabao translated with an angry expression.
That’s the guy who stole its food!
Adinishi stole food?! Qiao Sang was stunned. She simply couldn’t connect Adinishi, a phantom beast, with sothing as crude as stealing food.
Really? A phantom beast stealing food?
Could it have mistaken it?
A phantom beast, with such an aura of mystique and prestige, stealing food… Qiao Sang’s mind raced with various thoughts but ultimately settled on one: I need to confirm this.
She had asked plenty of wild beasts today, most of whom either blatantly lied or were simply mistaken and gave confused answers.
But Dosidola had communicated with her before and even ca specifically today to help out. It was unlikely to be lying. If it had mistaken it, though, that could be confird.
“Did it happen this morning?” Qiao Sang collected her thoughts, staring at Dosidola as she asked.
“Duo-xi!”
Dosidola nodded vigorously.
“Do you mind if I check it myself?” Qiao Sang asked, handing over a bag of chips she grabbed from the nearby food pile.
“Duo-xi…”
Dosidola’s attention was fully captured by the chips. It wasn’t sure how she was going to check, but it dazedly nodded anyway.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a touch, you can keep eating while I do it.” Qiao Sang handed the chips to Dosidola, then turned to Yabao.
“Use Perception Touch.”
So ti ago, Yabao had specially trained in spiritual skills like ditation and Perception Touch to resist charm abilities.
Now, Yabao had fully mastered Perception Touch, able to access mories from a day ago and let Qiao Sang view them simultaneously.
“Yap.”
Yabao responded, raising his paw and resting it on Dosidola.
Although Dosidola was much smaller in size, its presence far outmatched Yabao's, making it instinctively tremble.
However, it rembered what the human had just said, and gradually relaxed, tearing open the chips’ packaging.
Qiao Sang closed her eyes.
The mont Yabao’s paw touched Dosidola, a scene appeared before her eyes.
Chips, her own all-too-familiar face, ah, seeing herself from a beast’s perspective felt quite weird… Weeds, ruins, tree shadows, chips…
Everything rewound.
Through Dosidola’s eyes, Qiao Sang watched it clutching the chips.
“Dee dee.”
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
Qiao Sang looked up, and saw that long-awaited figure.
“Teacher!” Qiao Sang’s eyes flew open, her face bursting with uncontrollable joy and excitent.
Adinishi, the phantom beast that awakens only once every century, she actually found it on her third day in the 30th District!
Pirite, who had been scanning their surroundings, was startled.
Honestly, it was his first ti hearing Qiao Sang call him so loudly.
“What happened?” Pirite turned around with a puzzled look.
“I found it! I found it!” Qiao Sang shouted excitedly.
Pirite froze for a mont, then suddenly realized sothing. His eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over, asking with a slightly excited tone: “You an Adinishi?”
Qiao Sang nodded vigorously, pointing at the dumbfounded Dosidola, who didn’t understand why this human suddenly got so excited, and said: “I just showed it Adinishi’s picture and asked if it had seen it. It was just a casual question, but then…”
She excitedly rambled on, brimming with the joy of unexpected good fortune.
Pirite’s pupils contracted slightly.
At this mont, after digesting the news, only two thoughts remained in his mind:
Found it? And through a wild beast’s intel?
Is finding a phantom beast really this easy? Pirite took a deep breath, calming his excitent.
Beast intel could sotis be wrong, but Fire Qilu had used Perception Touch, and Qiao Sang herself had witnessed Adinishi in Dosidola’s mory, there was no doubt about it!
Adinishi was in this area… Realizing this, Pirite quickly ford hand seals with both hands.
A massive, dazzling red star array lit up the clearing.
The aura within the star array was deep, mysterious, terrifying, and commanding.
The singing, dancing, and eating beasts all froze, gazing at the sudden appearance of the red star array with fear and unease.
Soon, a beast about two ters tall appeared inside the star array. Its body was mostly white with purple-black stripes, its inner arms were black, and it had purple-striped, disc-like ornants on its shoulders. Its tail resembled a horse’s tail, its head looked like it was wearing a knight’s helt, and it had miniature wristbands on its claws.
Seeing the wild beasts in panic, Qiao Sang nodded at Lubao, who had sohow erged from her backpack.
Lubao imdiately understood her tar’s aning. She opened her mouth: “Lu Ai~ Lu~ Lu Lu Ai~ Lu~”
As her song echoed, the wild beasts’ expressions gradually cald, and they resud what they had been doing.
“Hypnotize all the beasts in this forest.” Pirite said, looking toward the dense woods.
“Nyuu.”
The knight-helted beast nodded and instantly vanished, appearing high above the forest.
Nyudikaka, a psychic-type imperial-grade beast, was said to have an incredibly powerful psychic force capable of controlling the minds of all creatures within a certain range… Qiao Sang looked up at Nyudikaka in the sky, recalling its data in her mind.
Bringing Teacher Pirite along was definitely the right call…
High in the air.
Nyudikaka’s eyes glowed blue. It raised its paws, bringing its fingertips together in a circle.
In the next instant, a blue ripple spread out, covering the entire forest.
Ti passed. How long, Qiao Sang couldn’t tell. Suddenly, her ears picked up faint rustling sounds.
She turned her head and saw wild beasts erging from the forest with blank expressions, walking as if sleepwalking.
---
Deep inside the forest.
Atop a towering tree laden with fruits.
Adinishi gnawed on a yellow fruit.
The blue ripple descended.
Adinishi’s eyes gradually dulled, losing all focus, and its paw loosened, letting the fruit fall.
Just then, the flute in its paw began to glow red and heat up.
“Dee dee!”
Startled by the burning heat, Adinishi’s eyes snapped back to clarity.
As if sensing sothing, it raised its head solemnly and looked toward the high sky above.
“Dee dee…”
It stared at the sky for a few seconds, then plucked another fruit and resud eating calmly.
