Chapter 1186: Chapter 880 Qingqing? (Two-in-One)_3

Qiao Sang felt a sense of alertness in her heart, but she displayed a kind smile and said:

“I have some matters to attend to, so I’m afraid I can’t accompany you, but I can see you off in the direction you’re headed.”

The man quickly asked:

“What matters do you have? I can come along!”

After hesitating, he added awkwardly, “I’m a bit uneasy acting alone in this Secret Realm.”

He was uneasy about acting alone, yet he had managed to get this far… Qiao Sang inwardly retorted, keeping her expression unchanged as she replied:

“I heard that making a potion from the feathers of an Ice Snow Bird can significantly enhance the power of Ice-type Pet Beast skills, so I wanted to check if I could get a few.”

The man looked bewildered: “You’re going to look for an Ice Snow Bird?!”

Qiao Sang responded with a simple “Hmm.”

Upon hearing this, the man eyed Qiao Sang in amazement, his expressions shifting several times, before forcing a smile and saying:

“I think I won’t go with you after all.”

Qiao Sang calmly asked:

“Where are you headed?”

The man casually pointed in the direction Qiao Sang had come from: “I’m planning to head that way.”

Qiao Sang nodded slightly: “I’ll see you off.”

The man lifted his head in refusal: “No need, I’ll go by myself…”

However, at the same time as he was speaking, Qiao Sang nodded at Little Treasure Hunter.

Little Treasure Hunter understood the intention of his Beast Tamer, and his eyes began to glow blue.

Before the man could finish speaking, he and the Wind Swift Lion vanished into the air.

“Let’s go.” Qiao Sang glanced downward and said.

“Gangbao.”

Gangbao let out a call and flapped his wings, continuing to fly deeper into the icy cold expanse.

Once Gangbao disappeared into the sky, several figures emerged below.

“What do we do, Zhicheng seems to have been teleported away by Spatial Movement…” the man in the white down jacket said worriedly.

“Does that person have the Qingfeng Compass?” The short-haired woman next to him seemed more concerned with another matter.

“No.” said the man wearing a baseball cap.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cat-like Pet Beast, about twenty centimeters in size and mostly black, appeared out of nowhere, teleporting beside them.

“So what should we do now?” the short-haired woman asked.

“Let’s find Zhicheng first, without the Qingfeng Compass, only his Wind Swift Lion can slightly sense anything unusual in the wind.” The man in the baseball cap calmly said, “That person is not simple; as long as her objectives don’t conflict with ours, there’s no need to bother her.”

…

It seems that in this Secret Realm, besides being wary of wild Pet Beasts, one must also be cautious of people… Qiao Sang felt a vague sense of lingering fear.

I originally thought it was just the person I recently rescued who had some issues, but I didn’t expect that after teleporting him away, commotion would arise below. If not for my brain domain reaching 50% and my enhanced hearing, I probably wouldn’t have heard anything… Tsk, it turns out to be a group acting together. If I had chosen to go down and save him, I would surely have walked into an ambush… Thankfully, I was smart enough… Qiao Sang steadied her emotions, took out the Qingfeng Compass from her pocket, and continued checking her bearings.

The central needle still pointed towards the southeast.

According to the post, there was an Emperor Level Ice Snow Bird on the snow-capped mountain to the southeast. Could Qing Qingni be there… Stay calm, even if Qing Qingni is there, it doesn’t matter. If I unfortunately run into the Ice Snow Bird, I’ll just run away… Qiao Sang thought of this and turned around with concern, saying:

“Little Treasure Hunter, you used Spatial Movement and Telekinesis many times earlier. Quickly use the Energy Restoration Agent to recover.”

“Xun Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunter let out a sound of acknowledgment, then took off his ring and pulled out an Energy Restoration Agent.

Qiao Sang felt at ease and resumed looking at the Qingfeng Compass.

At that moment, the three rings suddenly spun violently, and the central needle swung back and forth.

Even the usually motionless outer needle began to spin counterclockwise at a frantic pace.

What’s going on… Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, then she recalled another piece of information from the item’s details on the manual:

If the three rings suddenly spin violently, uncontrollably, and the outer needle spins 360 degrees counterclockwise, it indicates Qing Qingni is rapidly approaching your location.

Qing Qingni is heading this way?

Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, but she didn’t command Gangbao to stop.

This only indicated that Qing Qingni was approaching this direction, not that she was nearby.

As time passed, Qiao Sang’s heartbeat quickened.

The rings spun more and more violently, giving her the feeling that she was getting closer and closer to Qing Qingni.

Could I really get to see Qing Qingni… Qiao Sang slowly exhaled.

Stay calm, you’re someone who owns endangered Pet Beasts and has seen two Illusion Beasts and an Ancient Pet Beast. You can’t get so excited over a Pet Beast you haven’t even seen yet, and you can’t even make a contract…

As this thought flickered, a gentle breeze distinct from the biting cold wind brushed past.

The wind caressed her cheek, even carrying a bit of warmth.

Qiao Sang felt the warmth passing by, all her thoughts halted abruptly, and she gazed at the Qingfeng Compass, where the three rings and needles spun madly at 360 degrees, her pupils contracting, and she instinctively shouted:

“Wait!”

“Gangbao.”

Gangbao stopped in the air.

“Xun Xun…”

Little Treasure Hunter’s action of drinking the Energy Restoration Agent also came to a halt.

“Qing Qing?”

Then, an ethereal and young voice sounded from behind.
