Chapter 866: Are you excited now?

And these wild Pets, none of them were naturally sleepless, yet they were all energetic, as if they had been subjected to Healing Light, without sleeping… Qiao Sang scanned the surrounding wild Pets, picked up the Pet Identifier, set it to silent, and scanned the unfamiliar Pets among them.

Time is precious; every bit of knowledge I can gain is a bit…

“Water Knot?”

Suddenly, the Water Knot Knight, who had been quietly waiting beside them, let out a low growl.

Hey, who are you? Your voice wasn’t like that just now… Qiao Sang looked at the Water Knot Knight and saw it staring at her.

After two seconds of mutual staring, Qiao Sang said,

“Xiao Xunbao, translate that.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao withdrew his envious gaze from Ice Ai and floated to his Yu Beast Master’s side to translate.

It asked why you aren’t sleeping yet.

Oh, it actually cares about me… Qiao Sang was a little surprised and replied, “I’m not sleepy.”

With so many wild Pets around, she couldn’t sleep.

“Water Knot?”

The Water Knot Knight continued to call out.

Is it because you don’t trust us?

You know best… With Xiao Xunbao’s translation, Qiao Sang understood the meaning and couldn’t help but mutter to herself, while sincerely saying,

“If I didn’t trust you, my choice at that time would have been to leave here while you were frozen, not to stay and purify the sewage.”

The Water Knot Knight looked at the human in front of it and said nothing.

Then, it called out in the direction of the wild Pets:

“Water Knot.”

The next second, several yellow snake-like Pets quickly climbed up the inside of the trees.

After about ten minutes, they dropped vertically, carrying something in their mouths.

Upon landing on the ground, the yellow snake-like Pets seemed to feel no pain. They darted to Qiao Sang’s side, raised their heads, and revealed the blue fruits they held in their mouths.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, unsure.

“Is this for me?”

Water Lifting Fruit, although it contains the word ‘water’, is a rare tree fruit that even humans can eat. Its function is to increase metabolism, and it is very popular among overweight and middle-aged people in the market. It was once speculated to the price that could buy a Fire Fang Dog.

“Water Knot.”

The Water Knot Knight nodded.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Seeing this, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up, and he floated to the Water Knot Knight’s side.

What about me~ What about me~

The Water Knot Knight still ignored it.

“Thank you.” Qiao Sang took the five Water Lifting Fruits with a complex expression.

She didn’t consume them but put them into Xiao Xunbao’s ring.

Time flowed.

The mountain-like pile of tree fruits gradually diminished and disappeared.

The wild Pets did not delay and transported another pile of tree fruits over.

Touch Sense can only train skills like Touch Sense.

In fact, the wild Pets no longer restricted their movements, but since her Yu Beast Master had been staying here, Touch Sense also endured and did not go out.

Her phone had long run out of battery, so Qiao Sang judged whether it was day or night outside by Touch Sense’s sleep.

The mountain-like pile of tree fruits gradually disappeared, and the wild Pets quickly replenished them again.

After Ice Ai laboriously swallowed a tree fruit, Qiao Sang finally couldn’t help but say,

“Don’t eat anymore, you should rest first.”

“Ice Ai…”

Ice Ai shook her head with determined eyes, then lowered her head and took another bite of the tree fruit.

When delicious things are eaten in unbearable quantities, it is no longer enjoyment, but pain…

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao, seeing Ice Ai eat, gradually lost interest in these tree fruits as well.

Qiao Sang recalled Ice Ai’s gaze just now, opened her mouth, but in the end, didn’t say any words of dissuasion.

The gray river water, after repeated Purifications, turned light gray, then pale gray, then deep blue, and finally, dark blue.

The foul smell in the air completely disappeared.

When the last bit of filth in the river water disappeared, all the wild Pets cried tears of joy, calling out excitedly.

The Water-type Pets without black spots excitedly jumped into the river one by one, swimming joyfully.

The Water-type Pets with black spots, one by one, stood on the bank, looking enviously at the swimming Water-type Pets, choosing not to go into the water.

“Ice Ai!”

At this moment, a dazzling blue light shone over a large area on the Water-type Pets with black spots, including the humans who had been found earlier, no longer looking human, and also covered in black spots.

It wasn’t that Qiao Sang didn’t want to help these people with Healing earlier, but Ice Ai and all the wild Pets were focused on Purification, so she didn’t feel it was appropriate to bring it up.

Additionally, casting Healing Light over a large area consumes energy, and after Healing Ice Ai, she would have to endure eating more tree fruits.

Rather than making Ice Ai suffer and push herself, she preferred to delay the Healing a bit.

Soon, the blue light dissipated.

The black spots on the wild Pets with black spots completely faded.

They showed surprised expressions and turned to look at Ice Ai, who had cast the Healing Light.

“Ice Ai…”

Ice Ai showed a weak smile.

At this moment, Ice Ai, in the eyes of these Water-type Pets, seemed to possess a holy light.

They gathered around Ice Ai, calling out excitedly one by one, pushing Ice Ai into the dark blue river water.

“Ice Ai…”

Ice Ai weakly but happily wagged her tail in the river water.

“Water Knot…”

The Water Knot Knight, in the river water, had completely lost its majestic aura, and tears streamed down its face.

Qiao Sang looked at the scene before her, feeling a sense of comfort and happiness for some reason.

Suddenly, a terrified voice entered her ears:

“Ah! Run! Run! So many wild Pets!”

Qiao Sang didn’t need to turn around to know this was someone who had just regained consciousness.

Another voice followed: “Ah! I remember! I was caught by wild Pets, and then they forced me…”

At this point, the voice choked, seemingly unable to continue.

“Don’t be afraid, everyone, we’ve been saved!”

Qiao Sang turned her head and, through her eyes, realized that the person speaking was the only one among the group who had retained consciousness earlier.

There were a total of six people who had been captured by wild Pets for water transformation. They had almost all just regained consciousness and were terrified, flustered, and confused by everything before them. Their attention was on the groups of wild Pets and the people around them, and they hadn’t noticed Qiao Sang’s presence a hundred meters away.

“Boss, this is great! Can we leave now!” Yuan Jiewen, who had been in a daze and unaware of the exact time, his routine long since chaotic, was woken by the commotion. Seeing everything before him, he immediately came to Qiao Sang and excitedly asked.

Mi Jiala, who had been feigning sleep, pretended to just wake up and stared at the completely clean river water with a strange look in her eyes.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, a warm ray of sunlight suddenly shone into the usually dim space above, falling perfectly on the dark blue river water.

At the same time, the voices of those who had regained consciousness reached her ears:

“I want to go back! I want to go home! I’m never entering a secret realm in the Hollow Region again!”

“Let’s keep our voices down before the wild Pets notice us…”

“Where is this? I remember the last place I had memories of wasn’t here.”

“If I’m not mistaken, this is Hu Yuan River…”

“You said we were saved, who saved us?”

Hollow Region, secret realm, Hu Yuan River… Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something, and her pupils contracted.

After she had confirmed that Aodinihi would predict the specific location, she hadn’t sought a Pet specialized in Memory Reading to test it. She had only asked Touch Sense and the others about the address they dreamed of and what the evolution scene looked like.

She remembered Ice Ai’s description of the scene:

A clear, clean river, sunlight, a very, very happy but unfamiliar group of Pets, and humans, as well as suddenly cold weather…

Qiao Sang looked at the dark blue river water, the ray of sunlight suddenly shining on it, the wild Pets excitedly playing, and the few people who had regained their human form under the Healing Light…

At this moment, she felt as if she could hear her own violently beating heart.

“Boss, can we leave now?” Yuan Jiewen, seeing that the boss hadn’t answered for a long time, couldn’t help but ask again.

Qiao Sang didn’t answer. Instead, she took a deep breath, looked at Ice Ai, and shouted loudly,

“Ice Ai, are you excited now!”

The few people who had been talking quieted down and only then noticed that there were other people a hundred meters away.

Ice Ai heard her Yu Beast Master’s voice and looked over.

Then, her eyes curved, showing a joyful expression, and she called out,

“Ice Ai!”

At the same time, her two tails wagged. (End of Chapter)
