Mythical Creatures Strategy Guide

Did the two of them bring swimsuits in Chapter 84?

Amber nodded, then shook her head: "This remnant doesn't seem that powerful, but the origin is the same."

Chu Sheng's heart pounded like a drum: "Is it possible... that it's just the same type of magic? Like, in a dark magic training course, everyone's magic looks like this after graduation?"

Arthur glanced at him: "Are you kidding me? You think the sanctuary is just for show?"

Amber smiled slightly. She gathered the black thread into a leaf formed from the power of the sacred tree. The leaf closed up, sealing it like a small box.

"Don't be afraid. If that person really wanted to take action, they wouldn't just damage one stable."

Arthur turned to the innkeepers: "Seal off the stables. All night watchmen must remain in the backyard and are not allowed to move alone. Check the front and back gates of the inn and record the guests who leave tonight."

The officials responded immediately.

Arthur then looked at the stable boy: "You stay too. Cooperating now can be treated as dereliction of duty, but if I find out you did something else besides taking money, that's a matter for the Imperial Inquisition."

The coachman nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in his eyes.

Arthur finally turned around. Her ears were a little red, but her tone was stiff: "Chu Sheng, come here."

Chu Sheng, sensing the situation, jogged over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Arthur opened his mouth, but in the end pointed to the inside of the broken railing: "Look at this scratch."

Chu Sheng leaned closer and saw a very shallow scratch on the inside of the wooden fence, almost invisible unless he squatted down: "Was that cut with a knife?"

"I can't tell either," Arthur said. "But the scratches are too shallow; they don't look like they were made to damage the wooden fence."

Amber also came over, looked at it carefully, and suddenly said, "It's not from cutting the wood fence."

She turned to look at the celestial horse, which was also looking at them, and pawed at them twice with its front hooves.

Chu Sheng suddenly realized: "So you originally intended to scratch it?"

"Pegasus is a magical beast after all," Arthur said seriously, understanding the situation. "A magical beast's blood could attract an even more powerful one. It just missed its target, which is why it wasn't scratched."

Chu Sheng looked at the celestial horse, which now seemed somewhat aggrieved: "Brother, I almost wronged you."

Pegasus snorted, and Chu Sheng was sprayed with its hot, humid breath.

Arthur remained silent: "It's female."

Chu Sheng couldn't help but glance at its crotch, then changed his words, saying, "...Sister, I almost wronged you."

After saying that, he leaned close to Tianma's ear and whispered, "Thanks for covering for me tonight, sister. Love you, mwah."

Just as the atmosphere in the stable had eased a little, the leaf box in Amber's hand suddenly began to vibrate.

Arthur immediately gripped the hilt of his sword: "What's wrong?"

Amber closed her eyes.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and looked out into the darkness outside the stable: "There's a disturbance."

"Location?"

"Not far." Amber closed her eyes again to sense it. "It flashed by just now, and then disappeared again."

Arthur hurriedly asked, "Can we go after them?"

Amber nodded: "I'll give it a try."

Chu Sheng looked at Arthur, then at Amber: "Wait, are we going now? Aren't we going to do anything to prepare? Where are Ella and Silverleaf?"

Arthur had already turned and walked into the darkness: "You stay here and watch over them, His Majesty and I will go after them."

Chu Sheng was taken aback, then quickly said, "No, I'll go too."

Arthur turned to look at him, his eyes showing a hint of grievance and anger.

Chu Sheng stepped forward and gently took her hand: "Since you two have both left, I feel even more insecure staying alone."

Arthur's expression softened slightly, and he finally bent down to button up his clothes, whispering, "Then stay close and don't leave my sight."

Chu Sheng thought for a moment. He still had Amber's maxed-out favorability skill that he hadn't used yet, so there shouldn't be any danger, right?

He squeezed Arthur's hand: "I'll try my best not to hold you back."

"I'll take him." Amber appeared behind Chu Sheng like a ghost, her tall shadow looming over him. "I'm faster."

Arthur glanced at her, and surprisingly did not refute her, but said earnestly, "Your Majesty, please be sure to protect him."

After speaking, Arthur slightly bent his knees, and holy light shone beneath her feet.

Amber also raised her hand, and the swathes of wild grass all bent in the same direction.

Amber grabbed Chu Sheng's wrist: "Let's go, Chu Sheng."

Before Chu Sheng could even ask how to get there, the entire post station was left behind in the next moment!

The surrounding scenery seemed to have been casually erased, and the lights of the post station and stable were all blurred into a blur.

When he landed, he stood under a large tree beside the post road.

However, before he could even stand up straight, Amber had already raised her hand again.

Chu Sheng's vision blurred again, and this time he landed on a desolate grassy slope.

The next time, it was beside a clump of low bushes.

The next time, he didn't even see where he landed; he only heard a "whoosh" sound in his ear, like a large leaf rustling.

"Your Majesty!" Chu Sheng finally couldn't help but ask, "What kind of technique is this? How can it be so fast?"

Amber put one arm around him and raised the other: "It's already very slow. I can move freely between plants in a short time."

A golden streak flashed across the night sky not far away. She didn't fly too high, always maintaining a distance from the ground where she could provide support at any time.

Chu Sheng looked up and felt that Arthur's way of traveling was more pretentious.

Amber suddenly looked down and asked, "Did you see her underwear? What color was it?"

Chu Sheng casually replied, "White lace... I didn't see that."

He immediately became serious and said, "I just think Arthur's tactical mobility is something I should learn from."

Amber chuckled and stopped teasing him.

She stopped with Chu Sheng next to a crooked old tree, and Arthur quickly landed as well.

"The trail has gone cold?"

"No," Amber shook her head. "It's avoiding me."

Arthur looked around. They were quite a distance from the post station, and ahead lay an endless wilderness.

Chu Sheng leaned against a tree, catching his breath. "Wait a minute, I'm feeling a bit carsick."

Arthur seemed to sense his worry and reassured him, "You don't need to worry too much. If the enemy is only this evasive, His Majesty and I are more than capable of handling them."

Chu Sheng nodded.

The next second, the leaf box in Amber's hand trembled violently.

She looked up at the edge of the wilderness: "There it is."

Arthur's holy light immediately shone again.

Before Chu Sheng could react, An Bowen had already wrapped her arms around his waist.

He got his face smeared with leaves again.

This time they were even faster; they flashed past the different plants almost instantly. Chu Sheng only saw a colorful blur before his eyes and spat out a "Pui!"

He spat out a leaf.

After chasing for about ten minutes, the wilderness suddenly opened up, and a lake appeared in front of them.

The lake isn't large, but it's very quiet, with reeds growing up to waist height along its banks.

Chu Sheng stood on the shore, and after a long pause, he finally managed to stammer, "It went into the water?"

Arthur landed beside him, and holy light shone on the water. Near the shore, rocks and seaweed were visible, but deeper into the lake, all was darkness.

Amber's beautiful brows furrowed slightly: "Something in the lake is blocking my senses."

"Since we're already here," Chu Sheng said, looking at the lake and scratching his head.

Did you two bring swimsuits?
