"Do you want to catch the Silly Beast first?" Sang Qingxiao asked Qi Xiaomian.
"Sure, we don't need to go looking for it. I can draw it in," Qi Xiaomian replied.
"That makes things easier."
Strange magical patterns reappeared on Qi Xiaomian's body. Sang Qingxiao observed his control over Demonic Nature, noting that he was now much more precise and at ease compared to their first encounter. At that moment, he only allowed the magical patterns to manifest on his left hand, preventing them from spreading further.
When Magic Breath was released, it was controlled with precision, effectively preventing any leakage that might disturb the other creatures in the Dune.
Before long, they could feel the sand beneath their feet shifting in response to distant vibrations. Suddenly, a quicksand pit appeared beneath Qi Xiaomian's feet, leaving him suspended in mid-air and avoiding being trapped.
Could it be that the Silly Beast only controls sand? Or is this just a coincidence? Old Vine had spent quite a bit of time carefully explaining the Silly Beast to them, and according to Old Vine's description, the Silly Beast did not possess any sand-controlling abilities. Had it evolved over time?
So many questions lingered in their minds. After waiting a while longer, they finally caught sight of the Silly Beast in its entirety. It resembled a white ape, furry with long, smooth white hair and large blue eyes that were originally clear and naive but now showed hints of confusion.
It stood about as tall as a person and wore a large black cloak that covered its entire body. From behind, it looked remarkably human-like.
As the Silly Beast approached, it stopped and stared at them from a distance. After observing for a while, it let out a few grunts. Just as Old Vine had said, it seemed to wait for instructions before taking action.
However, its voice was trapped by Sang Qingxiao's seals in this space and couldn't escape.
After some time without a response, the Silly Beast grew anxious, scratching its ears and cheeks in frustration. Its chattering sounded frantic and comical in its bewildered state.
"Little Hanhans," Sang Qingxiao began to speak when Li Cu interrupted with a quip, "It's not little at all; it's as sturdy as a big door!"
Sang Qingxiao chuckled. With the opponent right in front of them, did Li Cu really have time to poke fun at him?
It didn't seem too dangerous, and that person probably wasn't very bright, truly thinking that creating such a vast desert would keep everyone out? Just in case, it was necessary to issue an early command, instructing them to take action as soon as someone entered—whether to kill or capture, decisions could be made afterward. There was no need to ask about every little thing and miss the opportunity to gain the upper hand.
Our Li Cu was sharp; he immediately spotted the opponent's weakness. No wonder he was once a great general leading troops into battle!
At that moment, Misha spoke up, "Could it be a trap? They see we have many people and are pretending to be weak, waiting for a chance to strike."
Uh, is Silly Beast really that clever?
Nearby, Qi Xiaomian was already making moves. He continued to release his Magic Breath, controlling its aggression. Like a friend, he circled around Silly Beast several times, miraculously calming its restlessness.
"I'm on your side," Qi Xiaomian coaxed. "Does this feel familiar? It should. I know your family. I happened to pass by here after many years and came specifically to visit."
"I've heard your people speak of you. They praised you for being obedient and capable. I just heard your voice from afar, which is why I called you over."
"I have a favor to ask. In this Dune, there’s sand everywhere, and it's hard to find my bearings. Could you guide me?"
