Chapter 281: Foam (2)
“There’s something under the water?”
At my question, Bini and Cho nodded quickly, their antennae twitching with curiosity.
—Tsrur. 『It said, “It hurts. It hurts,” over and over.』
—Tssrut. 『Yeah. It said, “It hurts. It hurts.”』
I thought it was just bubbling, but if the kids understood something, that meant it was speaking.
Which could only mean one thing—there was a spiritual beast down there.
Spiritual beasts, even of different species, seemed to understand each other’s language. So there was no doubt one was hiding beneath the water.
“R-really? Hold on!”
An unexpected spiritual beast had shown up—I needed to move fast. But first, I stuck my head out the window to scan the surroundings.
It was already late at night, and aside from a few scattered lanterns, Taean was completely dark. If I wanted to investigate that area, I had to get a sense of my surroundings.
Especially since Cho was bound to scare ordinary people—I had to move discreetly.
We’d already used stealth to get here, flying under the cover of night to avoid being spotted by civilians.
