Meanwhile, the three that Xu Ling was thinking about sat upright on Fei'er's huge head. Although it was a bit bumpy because Fei'er was speeding up, it remained sitting on Fei'er's head without moving an inch, and occasionally pointed out directions to Fei'er.
However, despite his seemingly clear goals, Mao's eyes held a deep and unfathomable depth.
Strange, very strange!
It muttered to itself.
It's really inexplicably strange!
It actually sensed Ruth's presence here!
Moreover, it wasn't that it actively searched for it; Ruth actively released a signal to it so that it could sense it!
In such a sudden situation, it's hard not to suspect that you've been deliberately lured by someone with ulterior motives. But... then again, why would the other party lure you in?
At present, it is just an ordinary cat, and it shouldn't pose any threat to people at all!
Secondly, it and Xu Ling had only been out of the barren land for a short time, and apart from encountering April and Cersei, they hadn't met anyone else!
During that time, they lived a life almost completely isolated from the world. Who could they have made enemies with to such an extent?
After that, they arrived at Phil Academy. To be honest, life at the academy was a complete transformation from a life of isolation for a few people to one of isolation for a large group of people.
Aside from diligently completing her tasks at the academy, how could Xu Ling have offended anyone?
After thinking it over and over, Kaopu really couldn't figure out what was so strange about it. He was inclined to ignore the seemingly real but actually fake signal, but the thought of finding Ruth made him impatient.
In the end, he succumbed to his impulse, gritted his teeth, and called out to Fei Er to run together in the direction from which the signal came.
"quack!"
[Okay, where are we going?]
Suddenly, A Bao's hoarse bark rang in his ears. Kao Pu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here? Meow?"
Abao: ······
It got so angry that it immediately became unsteady on its feet, swaying left and right while squawking and complaining.
[Didn't you say you were coming?! That's why I came along!]
Complaints were incessant. Kaopu couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It only told Abao that it was leaving, it didn't say that it should come with it!"
However, since Abao has already come along, saying this again would be a bit redundant.
So I simply ignored its complaints, but the more reliable I was, the more enthusiastic it became.
As the surrounding scenery became increasingly deserted, apart from the occasional bird call, all that remained was Abao's ear-piercing squawking. Kaopu had grown somewhat accustomed to Abao's calls, but now was not the time to let Abao chatter on and on!
They're going to find Ruth. If there's no danger, that's fine, but if there's a trap, isn't Abao blatantly telling the other side that they're coming?
Just in case, Kaopu finally couldn't help but speak up to comfort Abao: "Okay, meow~ It was Kaopu's fault, I'll apologize to you later, okay? Now—"
Its eyes suddenly sharpened, and its words turned cold, "Abao, you better be clean! Meow!"
Whether it was frightened by the reliable look in its eyes or by the coldness in its tone, after saying this, A Bao's flying motion froze, and it almost fell from mid-air. After it regained its balance, it indeed became quiet, just as the reliable one had expected.
With his ears much quieter, Kaopu's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, but in an instant, his gaze returned to its fixed ahead.
As they drew closer, the signals from Ruth grew stronger and stronger...
Fei'er sped along and soon arrived at the place that Kaopu had pointed out. This place was almost a hill away from where they had been before, and it was surrounded by weeds, clearly a place that few people had set foot on.
Fortunately, this had no effect on Fei Er. He nimbly stepped over the relatively low weeds and soon disappeared into the depths of the grass.
As they walked further in, and after a while, they confirmed that this was the place emitting the strong signal. Kaopu said in a low voice, "Stop."
As soon as Fei Er stopped, it immediately jumped off Fei Er's back. It gently twitched its nose, taking in all the surrounding air, and remained in that position for a long while without moving.
strangeness!
Reliable twitched his nose again, uncertainly, but the result was no different from before.
It's clear that Ruth's signal originated from here, and it was indeed strongest here!
But... why can't it see any trace of Ruth? Not even a trace of a fairy!
Could it be that it sensed something wrong?
Kaopu couldn't help but doubt himself, but then he remembered that he was a system that spoke based on well-integrated information, so how could he be wrong?
Therefore, Ruth must be here!
As if affirming its own identity, it nodded firmly, then fixed its gaze and walked clearly in all directions.
It needs to search carefully to find Ruth!
"You wait for me here!" With that, Kaopu immediately disappeared from Fei'er and Abao's sight.
They didn't say what they were going to do, nor why they were left behind. Nevertheless, Fei'er obediently lay there, waiting for the reliable one to return.
At first, Abao was the same, but as time went by, Abao became a little impatient. It paced back and forth in front of Fei'er, its anxiety clearly visible, but Fei'er simply closed her eyes, completely ignoring its presence!
Seeing this, Abao couldn't resist flapping its wings and flying to Fei'er's head, pecking at the top of his head with its sharp beak.
"quack--"
"Shh-"
It had barely uttered a sound of discontent when it was abruptly silenced by Fei'er's warning. Abao's barking stopped abruptly, and despite its dissatisfaction, it couldn't help but recall Fei'er's earlier, cold warning.
Fine, I'll just give him face by being reliable!
Immediately, Abao calmed down considerably, but when it looked down and saw the smooth, silvery-white fur under its feet, it couldn't help but scratch it with its paw in frustration.
The force wasn't small, but it wasn't great either, and it didn't cause much harm to Fei'er, but Fei'er still breathed a sigh of relief silently.
He was too impatient just now, and he couldn't help but speak in human language...
I was worried that Abao would find out, but thankfully! Thankfully!
Sure enough, no matter how intelligent Po is, he is still essentially a crow!
—With such a small head, how could you possibly think about so many things?
Just then, the reliable one returned.
A rustling sound came from the grass not far away, and a small yellow cat with not a single stray hair emerged from it.
Without saying a word, A Bao flew over. Just as it stopped in front of Kao Pu, before it even got close, Kao Pu brushed past it with a solemn expression.
"Huh?"
[What's wrong?]
Abao asked subconsciously, but this time, Kaopu either didn't hear or was too lazy to scold him. He lowered his head and walked to Fei'er on his own.
"Fei'er, can you sense Ruth's presence?" The kitten's mouth moved slightly, and its voice, though very soft, reached Fei'er's ears clearly.
Fei'er was taken aback, then suddenly stood up. She was about to ask it why it asked that, but she immediately stopped herself.
Now is not the time to ask that!
He closed his eyes and forcefully twitched the tip of his nose. As the surrounding air completely filled his nasal cavity, Fei Er began to concentrate fully on sensing it.
