Chapter 983: Chapter 797: Sorry (Two in One)

The dense canopy of the forest blocked the moonlight, plunging the woods into complete darkness.

Before its Beast Tamer could speak, Light Chimu took the initiative to smile, revealing its faintly glowing teeth that lit up the surroundings and scattered the darkness.

Qiao Sang felt the oppressive silence around her and involuntarily sighed.

“What’s wrong?” Ogefu asked.

Not sure how Teacher Billet is doing over there… This journey to find Adinixi feels like I haven’t contributed anything… Qiao Sang shook her head and said:

“Nothing, I just don’t know how things are on that end.”

Ogefu comforted, “Don’t worry, it’s just a Gukai Emperor. My teacher is an A-level Beast Tamer; he can handle it.”

A-level Beast Tamer, clearly stronger than Teacher Billet… Qiao Sang’s heart tightened but quickly exhaled, relaxing her mood as she remembered something.

For now, their goals don’t seem to conflict with ours.

Moreover, from the sounds earlier, Adinixi seems to have disappeared; there’s not even a trace of Adinixi to be seen now. There’s no point in treating others as imaginary enemies.

With that thought, Qiao Sang found herself seeing the people in front of her in a slightly better light and asked: “What should we do next? Wait here, or go look for Adinixi?”

Ogefu was about to reply when the Famiu Moth suddenly let out a sharp cry:

“Fa-fa!”

Qiao Sang jumped in fright and turned to ask worriedly: “What’s wrong?”

The Famiu Moth belonged to Teacher Billet’s pet beasts. It hadn’t been injured or involved in anything just now, and its sudden scream felt ominous—could something have happened on Teacher Billet’s side?

“Fa-fa…”

The Famiu Moth stared at the human its Beast Tamer commanded it to protect, looking heartbroken.

[It lost Adinixi!]

It wanted to say that, but recalling the secrecy of this affair and the nearby individual who was supposed to remain unaware, it could only shake its head to indicate that nothing was wrong.

“Ya-ya.”

Yaobao translated dutifully.

Something’s definitely wrong… Qiao Sang’s expression carried a heavy undertone of worry.

If Teacher Billet were in trouble, her own abilities wouldn’t be of much help. The Famiu Moth probably knew her limitations, which was why it downplayed the situation, telling her not to fret.

“Should you go to Teacher Billet and lend a hand?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Fa-fa.”

The Famiu Moth didn’t understand why the human in front of it suddenly asked this, but it shook its head, explaining that if its Beast Tamer needed it, he would summon it back.

“Ya-ya.” Yaobao translated responsibly.

That makes sense… Qiao Sang found nothing wrong with the statement and let her concerns ease slightly.

“Did something happen?” Ogefu, who had been watching their interaction, asked.

“No,” Qiao Sang answered.

“Then why did it cry out just now?” Ogefu’s curiosity seemed piqued.

“Likely something came up on my teacher’s end, but it seems manageable.” Qiao Sang explained.

Ogefu glanced at the Famiu Moth and frowned, saying: “Perhaps it’s better if this Famiu Moth heads over to help. After all, a Gukai Emperor alone wouldn’t trigger this kind of response from a Beast Tamer’s pet beast.”

He paused, his eyes lighting up as he spoke with a hint of excitement: “What if they’ve encountered Adinixi again over there?!”

“Fa-fa…”

The Famiu Moth’s expression froze.

Could it really have forgotten Adinixi in that area?!

“Maybe the Famiu Moth should just go help,” Ogefu suggested again.

“Fa-fa…”

The Famiu Moth turned its gaze toward the human it was tasked to protect, waiting for her response.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “No need. Your teacher is still over there, and judging by the situation earlier, there are three Emperor-level pet beasts fighting there. Adinixi shouldn’t stand a chance.”

After speaking, she looked at Ogefu: “If Adinixi really is there, shouldn’t we head back now?”

Ogefu was silent for a moment before replying casually, “There’s no need to rush. We won’t be of much help now even if we return. Let’s wait for a while before making any move. Besides, it’s just a guess that Adinixi might be there—it’s not certain. Let’s keep looking around for now.”

Qiao Sang had no objections.

The two began their exploration in the dense forest.

After about ten minutes, Qiao Sang hesitated and said, “This seems to be heading outwards?”

Ogefu replied, “I noticed too, but it’s fine. We’re searching aimlessly anyway. If we can’t find anything, we’ll just use spatial movement to return to their side.”

Qiao Sang thought this over and found it reasonable.

The two continued forward.

Time quietly passed.

The view ahead gradually opened up; vegetation became sparse.

The night sky was clear, with only the outermost edge illuminated. The moon hung brightly in the heavens.
