Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

Chapter 527: I've been tricked!

Wavy patterns appeared on the ochre-red brick wall, but the range of the patterns varied and could not be fixed.

Once the pattern had expanded to a maximum size of two meters, Lin Su said without hesitation, "Let's go."

After saying that, he led his pet beast into the ripples.

Tu Zhiyi took a deep breath, tried his best to calm his breathing, and like Lin Su, took Pinoli's hand and followed him inside.

The spatial concealment had already failed the moment Ahri left, and not long after, a group of people rushed over with props in hand.

"It looks like it's too late."

Salita looked at the entrance, which had shrunk to 1.5 meters in diameter and height, and crossed her arms. "This passage is not stable enough. If we insist on going in now, we will definitely get hurt."

"Let's wait a bit longer. The next entrance shouldn't be too far from here." Abhijit casually tossed the empty wine glass into a nearby trash can.

He kept the glasses from all the people invited to the party, temporarily locking onto their scents. Among them were two people he had interacted with Sasagawa Kotoko, and he also had information from Sasagawa Kotoko that the Nether River would open on the Night of Spirit Dance—

Sure enough, they found the entrance.

Unfortunately, the remaining scent was too faint, and Sasagawa Kotoko's presence in the new district interfered with his judgment; otherwise, they might have been able to find them much sooner.

Another brown-haired man sighed, "We might as well go back and keep an eye on Sasagawa Kotoko. What if the next opening won't be until tonight?"

'

"No, for the entrance to the Flowing Secret Realm to remain open for more than an hour, there must be space to establish a relatively stable passage. It has to try changing locations several times before it can be fixed."

As they were talking, the three of them watched in disbelief as the spatial passage flickered twice and disappeared.

Pitch black, eerily cold.

The viscous air adhered to the skin surface as if it were a tangible substance.

A powerful and overwhelming pressure emanated from Ahri, causing the vines that sensed the presence of a creature to quickly retract and tremble in the shadows.

As soon as Tu Zhiyi stepped into the secret realm, he was confronted with this overwhelming aura that made him lose his mind. The next second, he saw the Ghost Puppet Flower Fairy, in the pitch-black darkness, suddenly light up like a purple fluorescent light bulb.

Fortunately, the oppressive feeling and the purple light only lasted for a very short time.

Ahri's golden fox eyes glowed blue as she activated her Stand, quickly sealing off and concealing the surrounding space.

Lin Su also took the opportunity to change her tortoise shell necklace into a barrier form, and the hemispherical transparent protective shield immediately protected everyone and their pets inside.

In an unknown location, especially in complete darkness, one can never be too cautious.

She unleashed her five senses and used her pet detector to scan for energy entities that might be hidden in the darkness.

Outside the double barrier, the substitute Ahri's pupils rippled with light purple light. Under the command of the original Ahri's emotional radar, it scanned in a specific direction, and low-level pets that were watching it were constantly hypnotized and fainted.

"Huanhuan".

Less than two minutes later, Ahri gave a steady call, indicating that it should be safe for the time being.

There weren't many pets around here, and not even any intermediate-level ones—Lin Su decisively removed the small protective shield and turned on the flashlight on the identifier.

"Pino".

Pinoli quickly turned on the headlamps he and the beast tamer were wearing, and carefully observed the situation inside the cave.

Thick, gnarled roots intertwined, forming a cavity nearly three meters high. Beneath the surface lay slightly damp soil, making it impossible to discern the source of the hole.

Is continuing forward a path or a dead end?

Lin Su calmly said, "Ali, find a spot on the ground as close to the river as possible, and have your stand-in scout ahead."

"Huanhuan".

When Ahri saw her Beastmaster close his eyes, a blue light shone in them, and she synchronized the three-dimensional map that instantly appeared in her mind with him.

Ancient trees formed a dense canopy, a thin mist drifted through the forest, and in the distance, blood-orange clouds blazed in the sky. From the edge of the map, one could vaguely make out dark, viscous river water and surging black fog.

"Huanhuan".

The blue light in Ahri's eyes hadn't faded, and her Stand remained in the same spot.

The spatial teleportation failed — According to the data, this only happens near the Nether River, which is the so-called test area. So their landing point is not far from the river — an underground tributary?

"Try changing to the direction closer to the river inside the cave."

The map in my mind shrinks, shifting from above ground to underground, until it retreats to a position that is very close in a straight line.

"Huanhuan".

Or not.

Lin Su opened her eyes. "We should be within the river channel now. We'll need to walk."

The difference lies in whether to retreat or advance, whether to first look for an underground river or to go out from under the tree roots and search on the surface.

"Lingling~"

Qianyang suddenly cried out, indicating that it could sense the presence of the water flow and that it was moving inward.

Lin Su readily agreed, "Then let's go."

She pointed to the depths of the tree root cave and explained to Tu Zhiyi, "The location of the river and the water flow sensed by Qian Yang are both in that direction."

"it is good."

Tu Zhiyi had no objections. The information he had collected only stated that the landing point for those entering during fixed opening hours was usually by the river. Given the current situation, he absolutely believed that Lin Su's judgment was the most rational one.

The team ventured deeper into the cave.

"Ghost puppet?"

Xiaoying poked her beast tamer's arm with her paw. Seeing her raise her chin, her eyes crinkled, and she excitedly floated to the front with her flashlight to scout the way.

Bai Bai and Pinoli each stood guard beside their respective Beastmasters, while Ahri floated diagonally above the group, leaving her substitute behind.

At the back of the line, one person in front and one at the back ensure everyone's safety.

The sound of footsteps was amplified.

He didn't know how long he had walked, but the cave became lower and narrower, and the soil under his feet became softer and more collapsed. Tu Zhiyi bent over slightly and breathed slowly, feeling a strange sense of oppression in his heart.

Is this the right road?

How much longer do we have to walk?

Tu Zhiyi vaguely sensed that something was wrong with his thoughts, but when he saw Lin Su stop ahead and seemed to be waiting for him, he hesitated many times and didn't know how to speak.

Why is it so slow?

A thought of disgust flashed through her mind, and Lin Su waited for two seconds before a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

Why would she get irritable just from walking? She's not going in the right direction, and she's only been walking for a short time, so what's bothering her?

"Ah Li, New Moon Prayer."

"Huanhuan".

Without asking why, Ah Li showered down starlight, as if enlightening Lin Su, instantly clearing her mind.

In the middle of the move!

And they don't even know when they got infected!

Lin Su turned to Tu Zhiyi and asked, "Were you affected by your emotions just now?"

Tu Zhiyi looked dazed, and only replied when asked, "Yes, it started when the ground became muddy, but it's gone now."

It seems the degree of influence may be related to mental strength — Lin Su wanted to say something more, but then she saw a beam of light appear in the passage.
