"This area hasnât been developed, but that doesnât mean no one has entered before; they just didnât succeed in getting out."
Which means those who came in might have died here.
Guo Ruiqi nearly got scared to the point of peeing his pants.
Mikaela slowly said:
"The Corpse Little Ghosts appear next to corpses because theyâre attracted by the scent. When there are no corpses, they have their own way of living. This is a Secret Realm, Corpse Little Ghosts can exist without corpses."
Meaning thereâs no need to be afraid.
Senior Xuâs words made sense... Guo Ruiqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao Sang said solemnly, "No matter what, we still need to leave this area as soon as possible."
Guo Ruiqi raised his hand, "I agree!"
Mikaela nodded, "I have no objections."
Little Treasure Hunter loosened its paw, releasing the Corpse Little Ghost.
"Corpse corpse..."
The Corpse Little Ghost glared at Little Treasure Hunter and vanished.
"Xun Xun?"
Little Treasure Hunter turned its head, showing a "Did you just glare at me?" expression.
The invisible Corpse Little Ghost shuddered and quickly slipped away.
Qiao Sang continued forward.
After the group had vanished from sight, the previously released Corpse Little Ghost reappeared, pointing in the direction they disappeared, "Corpse corpse," expressing its grievance.
The sound of rustling wind could be heard.
One by one, Corpse Little Ghosts emerged.
"Mourning mourning."
Then, from underground, a Pet Beast with a body over ten meters long, mostly dark purple, with a hollow head and only two red rhombus-shaped eyes in the center, floated out and called.
"Corpse corpse..."
The original Corpse Little Ghost became even more aggrieved.
"Mourning mourning."
The hollow-headed Pet Beast made a calm call.
"Corpse corpse!"
The original Corpse Little Ghostâs eyes lit up and it vanished.
All the Corpse Little Ghosts floated in the direction Qiao Sang and her team left, one after another vanishing.
...
In the dense forest of the mountainous woods.
"Did you sense anything?" Qiao Sang asked.
"No." Guo Ruiqi shook his head, looking disappointed.
"Letâs take a nap here." Qiao Sang observed the surrounding environment and said.
Guo Ruiqi was already exhausted, and upon hearing Senior Qiao speak, he immediately agreed, took out his sleeping bag, and lay down.
Before long, he was sound asleep.
"You should rest too." Mikaela said, "Iâll take the night watch tonight."
"No need." Qiao Sang shook her head, "I donât have the habit of sleeping in the Secret Realm, you should rest."
Not knowing how long theyâll have to stay in the Secret Realm, how could she not sleep here, unless she uses Healing Light... Mikaela resisted the urge to ask, feigned indifference, and said, "Okay, call me if you want to sleep."
Having said that, she also took out her sleeping bag and lay down with her eyes closed.
In the dark forest, a bluish glow flickered.
Sure enough, she used Healing Light... Mikaela lay on her side, turned her back to Qiao Sang, and her mouth twitched.
"You guys rest too; Little Treasure Hunter and Iâll take the watch." Qiao Sang said in a low voice.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter spiritedly patted its chest, assuring them to sleep with its presence around.
Yaobao, Lubao, and Gangbao knew Little Treasure Hunter hardly ever slept at night, so they lay down to rest with peace of mind.
"Arenât you sleeping?" Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao beside her.
"Qing Qing." Qingbao shook its head, indicating it wasnât sleepy yet.
Qiao Sang didnât insist.
About ten minutes later, the sound of even breathing could be heard.
Qingbao glanced at the sleeping Mikaela, floated to Qiao Sangâs ear, and gently called:
"Qing Qing."
Qiao Sang paused for a moment and whispered:
"Are you sure?"
"Qing Qing." Qingbao nodded.
It could sense everything around with the wind passing through.
So, there was another invisible Pet Beast beside Xu Gehong... Being teammates and yet not even mentioning this, wasnât it too distrustful... or perhaps, she had other intentions... Qiao Sang looked towards Xu Gehong, frowning slightly.
Then, she thought of something and looked at Little Treasure Hunter, asking:
"Did you see it?"
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter shook its head.
Qingbao sensed it with the wind while Little Treasure Hunter didnât see it, indicating it wasnât a Spectral-type Pet Beast, so it should be Psychic Series... Qiao Sang thought briefly, looked at Qingbao, and warmly said:
"I got it, you should sleep first."
"Qing Qing."
Qingbao nodded and finally rested with relief.
Qiao Sang found a nearby tree to lean half against, paying attention to the surrounding noises.
Little Treasure Hunter floated around continuously, alert to the surroundings, looking very professional.
Time passed, and around the second half of the night.
Qiao Sang had already relaxed quite a bit, looking at the faint moonlight above, her mind occupied with searching for the Lele Seed.
