Chapter 133: Accidental Discovery

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

On the sunny prairie, the gryphons were dancing in the sky, sometimes in a zigzag pattern, and sometimes in a straight line, crisscrossing and changing their formation. For those who didn’t know what they were doing, they would think that this was some kind of ritual. In fact, it was the work of a cleaner.

Although the mandrake looked weak, it was also a platinum intermediate pet beast. Fang Yuan originally had wanted to let the gryphons fight freely so that he could quickly complete the cleaning task.

However, in the end, he had no choice but to command the gryphons to use whirlwind to gather them together, and then use destructive storm to clear the area.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin were already very tired, but the mandrake grass on the prairie was far stretching as if there was no end to it.

In any case, it was still early, so Fang Yuan wasn’t in a hurry. He began to study the biological characteristics of the mandrake grass.

“The mandrake grass only has one attribute. If I use fire-type skills, I can quickly clear them all.” Fang Yuan sighed. He had underestimated the strength of Heavenly Secret Pavilion’s arcane realm. No wonder he had heard from the outside world that platinum pet beasts were actually nothing in Heavenly Secret Pavilion. Now it seemed that it was indeed so. The most basic experienced monsters were all platinum-intermediate-grade monsters. Their levels were also higher than each other. The highest was almost reaching level 20 upper-rank.

At this moment, Fang Yuan was lying on a huge rock, feeling bored and flipping through Heavenly Secret Pavilion’s textbook, “Pet Beast Attribute Research”.

The knowledge related to pet beasts that he learned in high school was really too shallow, including his understanding of the pet beast’s level. At first, Fang Yuan thought that the level would have no other effect other than increasing the attributes, now, he knew that pet beasts could also learn new skills through skill books, and these books usually had a level requirement.

Just as he was in a daze, Fang Yuan felt Xiao Jin’s call, as if it had discovered something.

“Xiao Jin, What’s the matter?” He threw the textbook into his backpack and saw Xiao Jin fly over with a little girl in its mouth. It landed in front of Fang Yuan and gently placed the little girl on the ground.

“Who is this?” Fang Yuan looked at the girl in front of him with puzzlement. She didn’t dress like a student of Heavenly Secret Pavilion, so why did she appear here? Could it be that there were aboriginals in the arcane realm?

He looked around and didn’t know where Huang Ying was, the instructor had gone. He was really an irresponsible teacher. He just left after explaining the mission.

He took out a bottle of water from his backpack and opened it. He then poured it over the girl’s head.

“Ahem, ahem, ahem.”

As expected, it worked. Although he didn’t know why unconscious people were especially sensitive to water, it finally woke her up.

The first thing the little girl did after waking up was to get up and look at Fang Yuan.

Xiao Jin gently nudged her from behind. When she turned around and saw an eagle’s head, she was so scared that she collapsed on the ground.

“Wu wa wa, Daddy and Mommy…”

“Hey…” Fang Yuan was confused, however, he could confirm that this girl was a human and not some kind of pet beast.

He squatted in front of the little girl and patted her head, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I’m a student of Heavenly Secret Pavilion, who are you?”

Due to this action of Fang Yuan, the emotional little girl calmed down a lot, but there was still a snot on her face. She said intermittently, “My name is Bailey. Brother, can you save my parents? They have been taken away by a group of monkeys.”

Monkeys?

This little girl called Bailey had been crying so much that Fang Yuan did not even have a chance to ask her anything. In the end, Fang Yuan had to pretend to be a bad person and said, “Stop crying. If you cry again, I’ll let the gryphon eat you!”

For naughty children, persuasion might not work, it was better to scare them.

Bailey was still very scared, but because of Fang Yuan, she could only hold back her tears and look at Fang Yuan fearfully.

“Okay, I’ll ask you a question now. Why is your family here? Where are your parents?”

Fang Yuan could not see his own facial expression, but he thought that in the little girl’s heart, he was no different from a demon.

After ten minutes of questioning, Fang Yuan always figured out the whole story.

Bailey’s parents were trainers. He had no idea what had gone wrong with them that they had brought their child to the “grass arcane realm” to play, saying that they wanted to nurture their child’s affinity with the pet beasts. In the end, they ran into a group of demonized monkeys holding a sacrificial ceremony and they stopped around to watch.

When they were discovered by the monkeys, Bailey’s parents covered for her to escape. She ran as fast as she could and when she turned around seeing her parents being caught by the monkeys, she missed her step and fell off the cliff. She then fainted and when she woke up, she saw Fang Yuan.

“Where are you guys from?”

Fang Yuan felt that it was very strange. It was clearly Heavenly Secret Pavilion here, the only grade four arcane realm in Fire country. Even he had to spend quite a bit of effort just to come in, but this little girl had actually said that she had come in from the grass arcane realm.

“My hometown is Linhai City.”

Linhai City was a small city near Shanghai. As it was a tourist city, Fang Yuan had some impression of this city.

However, this was Holy Capital and not the arcane realm of grass. If the possibility that this little girl was lying was excluded, then…

“Can you take me to your parents’ place? You can also tell that I’m a trainer. Maybe I can save your parents’ lives.”

“Okay.”

Bailey wiped away her tears, thinking for a while and crying again. “I don’t remember which cliff I fell from.”

“Xiao Jin!”

Seeing Bailey cry again, Fang Yuan felt a headache. Little girl, didn’t you know that the time you wasted might make your parents in even greater danger? But Fang Yuan didn’t say this out loud. Instead, he asked the gryphon to bring her back to the place where Bailey was found.

Fang Yuan then sat on Xiao Jin and Bailey on Xiao Yin. The two humans and two beasts came to the front of a mountain.

“This is the place?” Fang Yuan raised his head and looked over. If this was the cliff that Bailey had fallen from, then she was really too lucky. The gryphon had already flown so high, but she still couldn’t see the top of the mountain.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp.”

Xiao Jin let out a cry, attracting Fang Yuan’s attention. He followed Xiao Jin’s gaze and looked over. There was a cave.

If one looked carefully, there was actually a faint green light flickering in the cave.

Landing at the entrance of the cave, Fang Yuan summoned all from the gryphon legion. He had to conserve his mental power now, because he did not know what kind of battle he would be facing next.

“Bailey, you follow me from behind.”

Fang Yuan summoned the gale hound. Now he realized one thing. He actually did not have a light-type pet beast, and without a pet that could emit light, the cave exploration would become very dangerous.

He had no choice but to use the gale hound as a torch.

“Awoooo, awoooo…”

The gale hound was indeed suitable to be used as an exploration pet.

Not only could it illuminate (although the range was not large), but it could also be used as a dog. Its nose was very sensitive.
