the dim lighting and their intention to
act stealthily they could only proceed
under the Moonlight refraining from
igniting any lamps however the area
before the castle lacked any tall trees
to provide cover making it impossible to
approach discreetly gianan seeing this
stepped forward to gesture to Jong
signaling her intention to scout ahead
for any potential traps at the entrance
the forest elves had yet to make an
appearance hopefully they would not
awaken them XI Hong however stepped
forward grasping jiang's arm as he
hesitated raising his pet the Schwan wo
the Schwan wo a member of the tortoise
Clan possessed High defensive
capabilities and excellent survival
instincts even if there were traps ahead
he would not be immediately in Peril if
danger arose he could summon his pet
from the space to ensure his Escape gong
was momentarily taken aback but after a
brief pause he acquiesced in their team
it was rare to employ pets to scout
perilous paths unlike other teams who
would send their pets into danger at the
first sign of threat ASA result some
players had already lost multiple pets
and the quality of the pets available
for binding had diminished considerably
Whispers circulated that the death of a
pet diminished a players Allure to more
intelligent creatures causing them to be
reluctant to bond with such players
furthermore the resources previously
expended on Pet Food had gone to waste
and the level of subsequently bound pets
remained at the elite tier many players
began to grasp the significance of their
pets and refrained from recklessly
sending them to their demise XI Hong's
decision was fraught with danger Schwan
Wu had already reached the mid-level of
a commander and was his most reliable
comp ion Shan Wu wore only a single
necklace leaving him to rely solely on
his own defenses in the face of peril
nevertheless XI Hong felt some Assurance
as schan Wu s's purple tier necklace
granted an additional eight to stamina
the higher the stamina the greater the
health pool andan Wu s stamina was
inherently robust coupled with his
innate Shield he could withstand even a
strike from a lord level adversary
however just as XI Hong placed his
beloved pet schan Wu on the ground and
watched the green fur Turtle scuttle
away the castle gates creaked open with
a loud squeak everyone was taken aback
and Schwan wo frightened withdrew his
head into his shell the timid nature of
the turtle was not an exception for
schan Wu ignoring this bizarre scene X
ehong rushed forward to retrieve schan
Wu from the ground he he he so many
people have come to play with me a clear
and melodic child's voice chimed as a
diminutive fairy-like creature
materialized at the entrance the
atmosphere sent shivers down every one
spines point1 2
3.5 ah there are five of you we can play
hide and seek the tiny fairy no more
than 20 cm tall spoke with a volume that
reverberated in their ears from a
distance they could only discern her
fluttering wings and her pallet skin
which stood out starkly in the dim light
the little fairy floated down to the
steps I'm nanan come in and play with me
her childish tone gonan and J Shang
exchanged a glance as if they had
uncovered a significant secret why is
everyone so silent I finally have some
new friends to play with yet you're all
mute Wan Juan said her small hand
thoughtfully stroking her chin seemingly
contemplating what to do L Zing sensed
something a miss and quickly spoke up we
can talked that is Splendid I detest
mutes so dull and lifeless nanan as tone
was light-hearted yet her disjointed
statements sent chills down their spines
was this doc truly a pure and benevolent
species guon tion and Xiang exchanged
glances both registering the gravity in
each other's eyes they had assumed that
Forest fairies were amiable creatures
