Chapter 138 : Chapter 138
Chapter : 138
Very good, Penelope was indeed the current principal. She had immediately understood how to use the chat system to talk to him.
[Ri'an (Private)]: It's me.
Yan Yunqing also mentioned the masked man he had met in Buma City to Penelope, but concealed the fact that the person the man called 'Young Master' had the same name as his roommate.
He only used this to explain that he suspected his teammates had been taken away by the other party.
Their lives were now unknown.
Yan Yunqing even managed to multitask to deal with Robin and Demetrius. Even Demetrius, who had stopped Yan Yunqing from contacting Teacher Walkley, did not realize that he had already told this to the higher-level principal.
After all, no one would have thought that Yan Yunqing had such a bug-level channel for transmitting information!
"Let's split up and search. After three hours, regardless of the result, we must return to this place to meet. If there's still no news of Rowena and William after three hours, we will use the caller," Yan Yunqing said. "If you encounter danger during the process, you can also use the caller at any time. Your own safety comes first."
Robin had no objections.
Demetrius was a little hesitant, but since Robin hadn't said anything, he also nodded. "Okay."
Yan Yunqing nodded, "Let's go."
Robin looked at Yan Yunqing and took the lead to run out. He was a swordsman who followed the rogue path, and his speed was faster than Yan Yunqing and the others. He disappeared in a short while.
Yan Yunqing looked at Demetrius, "Which direction are you going?"
Yan Yunqing looked as if he would choose another direction after Demetrius had chosen. Demetrius hesitated for a moment and pointed to the north, "That way."
Yan Yunqing nodded: "Okay, then I'll go the other way. Remember to come back in three hours."
Demetrius returned to his previous taciturn appearance, gave a soft 'en', and turned to leave.
Yan Yunqing stood in place for a while. After confirming that Demetrius's position on the minimap was gradually moving away and disappearing from the minimap, Yan Yunqing used [Roleplay] and turned into the form of a Kami beast.
It was the unlucky Kami beast that he and Demetrius had hunted before. This Kami beast's body shape was similar to the cat that Yan Yunqing had previously roleplayed as, and it was also a roleplay unit that he could choose. Yan Yunqing decisively abandoned the black cat's persona and changed to a Kami beast.
After all, in this forest, the probability of a black cat appearing was far lower than that of an ordinary Kami beast.
Besides, he had just exposed his black cat's persona in front of the other 'Demetrius'. Yan Yunqing was not so stupid as to let the same black cat appear in the forest.
Isn't that clearly a problem?
Yan Yunqing disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a dusty Kami beast. He shook the fur on his body, and after getting used to the fluffy big tail, Yan Yunqing chased after Demetrius in the direction he had left.
Like the black cat, the Kami beast also ran with all four legs. Yan Yunqing was already used to the way the black cat walked, so changing to a Kami beast was a piece of cake.
After running for a few steps, Yan Yunqing kept a certain distance and did not follow closely behind Demetrius.
He had already learned his lesson from being led in circles last time. Using the minimap to ensure that he didn't lose him was enough.
This was to prevent this Demetrius from also giving him the experience of running in circles around the forest.
Penelope's side indicated that the teachers who came this time had already entered the forest to check on the situation of the other teams.
Yan Yunqing knew that a teacher would soon come to their side as well. If Rowena and the others were really taken away, the callers on them would also allow the academy teachers to quickly locate them.
If all else failed, there were also teachers in the academy who were good at tracking. Letting professionals do professional things was better than Yan Yunqing searching for Rowena and William in the forest like a headless chicken.
As for why Yan Yunqing suggested splitting up to search, it was just to send Robin away. If this was really related to Demetrius, it would be more dangerous for Robin to follow.
Yan Yunqing jumped lightly on the branches. The Kami beast's talent allowed him to move freely between different branches, as light as a feather, jumping around without making a sound.
Yan Yunqing found that Demetrius was walking towards the depths of the forest.
It didn't seem like he was looking for his companion's tracks, but rather had a clear destination.
Yan Yunqing clicked his tongue. In his heart, he had completely regarded the two Demetriuses as the same person.
The small blue dot on the minimap suddenly stopped moving. Yan Yunqing also stopped in his tracks and waited for a while. The small blue dot that was originally on the minimap disappeared.
Yan Yunqing was startled and ran towards the location where Demetrius had disappeared. There was a distance of several hundred meters between them.
The road in the forest was not easy to walk, so it took Yan Yunqing a few minutes to run to the location where Demetrius had disappeared.
Nothing...
It was a very ordinary forest, surrounded by towering giant trees. It was no different from the forest he had come through, except that the trees here were taller.
Where did Demetrius run off to?
Does this guy also have the ability of TP (teleportation)? How did he disappear in an instant?
Yan Yunqing climbed up a tree and looked around from the top with the best view, but he couldn't find any trace of Demetrius.
Could it be that Demetrius discovered him and ran away?
That's not right. He was just a very ordinary Kami beast now. Demetrius shouldn't have suspected him no matter how he thought about it!
The large ears on Yan Yunqing's head twitched. The Kami beast was similar to the fennec fox on Blue Star, with long, pointed ears. Its hearing was comparable to that of a black cat.
He heard a faint sound coming from not far away.
"Quill, why don't we go back?" a soft voice sounded. "The elder said that many humans will be entering the forest recently and told us not to run around. Have you forgotten?"
"Aiya, what's the big deal!" another voice, obviously more cheerful, said. "I know who's coming this time. It's that very famous academy. Didn't Sister Talisin go to that academy? Maybe she'll come back today too. Let's go out and look for her!"
"But..."
Yan Yunqing moved towards the source of the sound and finally found the owners of the two voices on a tree—two elf cubs.
Elves still in their cub stage were no more than 20 centimeters tall. The two in front of him were about thirteen or fourteen centimeters tall.
The beautiful translucent wings on their backs were constantly flapping. If one didn't look carefully, one might mistake these two elves for dragonflies resting on a tree.
Yan Yunqing thought for a moment and nimbly climbed up the treetop, landing beside the two elves.
"Ah!"
"Wah!"
Two cries of surprise came from the mouths of the elf cubs. The elf in the small dress covered her mouth and flew a little higher in fright, while the other elf in small shorts was still frozen in place with wide eyes.
After seeing Yan Yunqing's appearance clearly, she immediately closed her wide-open mouth and at the same time laughed at her companion, "Stupid Zara, it's just a Kami beast. Look how scared you are!"
Zara took a closer look and confirmed that it was really just a Kami beast in front of her. She breathed a sigh of relief and flew down a little. Hearing Quill's words, she pouted, her voice still soft and glutinous, "But I was really scared! Quill, you also cried out just now!"
Quill rolled his eyes, "That was because I thought there was some danger. It's not like I was scared, okay!"
Zara drew out her voice, "Alright then—then..."
She seemed to want to say more, but was interrupted by Yan Yunqing.
"Really?"
Zara was stunned. She looked at the Kami beast, then at Quill, and asked uncertainly, "Did... did I mishear just now? I think I heard a Kami beast speak?"
Quill was also very surprised, because he had also heard the Kami beast's voice. He flapped his wings and approached the Kami beast that had suddenly appeared beside them, "I... I think so? I heard it too."
Yan Yunqing tilted his head, "Yes, you didn't mishear."
"Ah!"
"Wah!"
Another two cries of surprise. The two elves both showed expressions of being startled and retreated a certain distance at the same time.
Zara covered her mouth: "The Kami beast spoke!"
Quill's pupils quaked: "The Kami beast really spoke!"
Seeing the two elves' shocked expressions, Yan Yunqing found it a little funny. He knew that the Norman Forest was connected to the elven territory, but one had to go deeper to reach the edge of the elven territory. Ordinary people rarely went deep into it, and elves rarely appeared at the edge of the forest.
The fact that these two little elves appeared here, far from their territory, was probably because they had sneaked out to play.
Seeing them, Yan Yunqing couldn't help but think of Lilian, whom he hadn't been in contact with for a long time. He wondered how her growth period was going.
"A Kami beast can actually speak. The elder lied to us that Kami beasts are low-intelligence animals and can't speak!" Quill was greatly shocked. "Zara, why did he lie to us?"
Zara repeated in confusion: "Why?"
Yan Yunqing: "...Maybe because I'm not a Kami beast?"
"Stop joking!" Quill snorted twice, placing his hands on his hips very proudly, "How could you not be a Kami beast!"
He flew over and pinched the two large ears on Yan Yunqing's head, "These ears are Kami's ears!"
Zara also followed, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"
Yan Yunqing twitched his ears, sending Quill flying away, and dispelled his roleplay. In an instant, the originally cute and adorable Kami beast disappeared, leaving only a man sitting on a branch, one foot on the tree trunk, the other leg dangling leisurely.
He reached out and caught the flying Quill.
Zara was surprised: "Ah!"
Quill was dizzy: "Ugh..."
"A... a human?" Zara's surprise turned to horror. She looked at Quill, who was being held in Yan Yunqing's hand, "What... what are you going to do to Quill?"
Yan Yunqing blinked, loosened his grip on Quill, and returned him to the little elf. "Nothing. I was just afraid he would fall."
Quill only then reacted. Looking at Yan Yunqing, who had already transformed into a human, he opened his mouth wide: "You are—a Kami beast that can turn into a human!"
Yan Yunqing: ......
Yan Yunqing held his forehead. These two elves were truly naive and adorable. With this level of intelligence, it was no wonder the elder didn't let them out. They would be tricked one by one if they came out!
"Let's not talk about the Kami beast for now. You can temporarily treat me as a Kami beast that can turn into a human."
"Have you been here the whole time? Have you seen a man in a dark blue mage robe?"
