It really seems like... the Speed Sleep Bird wilted.
Qiao Sang recalled that she did hear the command "metal attribute" at that time, her expression softened a bit, but then she thought of something and asked:
"Why don’t you summon another Pet Beast?"
Mikaela was silent for a moment and repeated the previous explanation: "Sorry, the Nightmare Energy greatly affects me."
It seems that in terms of willpower, compared to Beast Tamers of the same level, I’m still decent... Qiao Sang thought, and didn’t say more.
...
After a simple rest, the three of them continued their journey.
After the incident, Yaobao didn’t dare to sleep anymore, advancing with vigilance towards the surroundings.
Gangbao and the Speed Sleep Bird were scouting from the sky.
The journey afterwards was quite smooth, without encountering any particularly difficult Pet Beasts.
When daylight appeared and the weather got hot, Qiao Sang asked:
"Do you need to take a break?"
Mikaela looked at Guo Ruiqi.
Of the three, only he needed rest at that moment.
Guo Ruiqi was removing his heavy clothes and changing into a short-sleeve, saying: "I just need to change clothes, no need to rest."
Despite Senior Qiao being nearby and providing a sense of safety, the previous experience made him eager to find the Lele Seed and get out of this ghostly place as soon as possible.
He thought that he would never want to enter a Secret Realm like this again.
Qiao Sang didn’t say anything, waiting patiently.
Suddenly, her ear twitched and she turned to see a Pet Beast about twenty centimeters in size, mostly green in color, with bright flowers on its back, walking out of the grass.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter was staring unblinkingly at the Pet Beast that had appeared.
Now, it was very alert to these small creatures, always feeling that there might be a group or a leader behind them.
"Shi Shi!"
The Pet Beast with bright flowers on its back got scared seeing so many unfamiliar faces, and started running. While running, the bright flowers on its back couldn’t help but bloom.
As the flowers bloomed, orange-red pollen wafted out.
Mikaela watched the Pet Beast’s back with a thoughtful expression, then as if recalling something, her face changed slightly, and she started holding her breath.
Soon, the Pet Beast with flowers on its back disappeared.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter relaxed.
This truth-telling... Qiao Sang coughed, wanting to help cover up, but ended up saying: "What truth you’re saying."
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
Damn, what did I just say?!
Mikaela silently glanced at Qiao Sang, thinking that she was indeed affected by the Truth Flower.
At this moment, Qiao Sang finally realized something was wrong.
She tried to recall the previous scene, everything was normal when Guo Ruiqi was changing clothes, then a Pet Beast with flowers on its back appeared...
"What was the Pet Beast with flowers on its back?" Qiao Sang asked.
Mikaela immediately understood what she meant, and said:
"Truth Flower, Grass Type Basic-level Pet Beast, the pollen from its flowers makes people uncontrollably tell the truth."
No wonder... Qiao Sang finally understood.
Guo Ruiqi, hearing this, didn’t dare to remove his hand from his mouth, for fear of saying something inappropriate again.
It’s somewhat similar to the Truth and Illusion Grass from the Lian Ke area, but it seems even more excessive... Qiao Sang then thought of something and asked:
"Did you recognize it as a Truth Flower from the start?"
Mikaela nodded and hummed: "The Truth Flower’s flowers are bright and usually closed but bloom when emotional, releasing pollen that makes people tell the truth, easy to recognize."
