Chapter 33

Hearing the mysterious little beast speak in human language, Zhuge Tianxin was also taken aback, and it took him quite a while to react.

"Is it that strange? I have always been able to speak. Did you think I was one of those low-rank Precious Beasts or Spirit Beasts?" Seeing Zhuge Tianxin's stunned expression, the mysterious little beast spoke, her words filled with disdain for Precious Beasts and Spirit Beasts.

"You... you... are a female?" Zhuge Tianxin replied. But the mysterious little beast had not expected Zhuge Tianxin to answer her like this. In the mysterious little beast's mind, after hearing her speak, Zhuge Tianxin should have been ecstatic, as if he had found a treasure, and should have been worshipping her. Instead, Zhuge Tianxin only focused on her gender. And what did he mean by "female"? She was a girl, not some "female." No, where was her mind going? Why was she concerned about whether she was a "female" or a "girl"? He should be worshipping her!

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by 'female'? I am a girl! And what is wrong with your brain? I don't even spare a glance for Spirit Beasts, yet you didn't worship me and only focused on whether I was male or female—no, I am a girl!" the mysterious little beast said angrily.

"Ah... oh... oh my, these things aren't important. What's important is, what is that thing you mentioned? Is it very powerful?" Seeing the mysterious little beast was very angry, Zhuge Tianxin finally reacted and immediately changed the subject, steering the conversation toward the object the mysterious little beast had mentioned, hoping to trick her into revealing what it was.

"Hehe, I refuse to tell you." The mysterious little beast did not fall for Zhuge Tianxin's trap.

"You... fine then. When are we going to find that thing you mentioned?" Zhuge Tianxin was furious at the mysterious little beast's "I refuse to tell you," and could only continue to change the subject, shifting it to finding that simple object.

"Now." But this time, the mysterious little beast did not anger Zhuge Tianxin; instead, she appeared even more anxious than he was, as if that object were very important to her.

"But I still need to investigate the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf pack. How about we go after I return and explain the situation to the others?" Zhuge Tianxin did not want to go now because he was in the middle of investigating the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf pack. If he left now, the others might be attacked by the pack, which was something he did not want to see.

"That doesn't matter. You have already checked such a wide range, which means there is no such thing as a Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf pack. Even if there were, it wouldn't be a problem. That thing is very close to us; we can go get it and then go find the others, that's no problem. Besides, haven't you always wanted to understand this space? The answer you want is inside that object." The mysterious little beast seemed truly anxious about that object, persistently persuading Zhuge Tianxin to go find it.

"Really? That object has the answer I want? You aren't lying to me?" Hearing that obtaining that object could reveal information about this space, Zhuge Tianxin immediately became interested.

"Yes, it records many things about the Hunter Continent, including this space. Do you want to go now?" Seeing Zhuge Tianxin's interest, the mysterious little beast immediately continued to entice him.

"You said that object is very close to us, so it won't delay my investigation of the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf pack, right?" Zhuge Tianxin already wanted to go get the object, but he was still hesitant because he was currently investigating the wolf pack.

"Yes, it won't delay you. Besides, the direction you need to go to find that object is also the direction where the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf pack might appear. You can investigate the wolves while you go find the object." The mysterious little beast continued to entice Zhuge Tianxin.

"Alright then, let's go now. What direction?" In the end, Zhuge Tianxin could not resist the mysterious little beast's enticement and decided to go take a look.

"Then hurry up, let's go and come back quickly." Seeing Zhuge Tianxin agree to go, the mysterious little beast immediately flew in one direction and urged Zhuge Tianxin to hurry.

Seeing the mysterious little beast fly in one direction, Zhuge Tianxin immediately followed.

"We're here, it's right in front." After traveling for about half an hour, the mysterious little beast brought Zhuge Tianxin to a patch of grass, stopped, and said to him.

"Ah... it's right in front? There's nothing in front of us!" Zhuge Tianxin was very helpless, because there was nothing in front of him.

"Feel it carefully, just like you did when you found those two spirit items under the Flying Heaven Pig's body," the mysterious little beast said.

"Is it like this?" Zhuge Tianxin said, closing his eyes and slowly sensing. As Zhuge Tianxin slowly sensed, he suddenly discovered that three steps in front of him, there was an arched object covering a patch of grass. "There is a transparent cover over a patch of ground three steps ahead, but I can't see what's inside."

"You can feel it?" The mysterious little beast was surprised. "Didn't you tell me to feel it? What's so strange about this? Don't you know I am the invincible, number one person in the world?" Regarding the mysterious little beast's words, Zhuge Tianxin shamelessly took them as a compliment to himself.

"Stop being so narcissistic and hurry up and go inside to take a look." Regarding Zhuge Tianxin's narcissism, the mysterious little beast had developed a resistance and had reached the realm of automatic filtering, so she ignored his narcissistic words and only urged him to hurry inside and take out the object within.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you like this again? Can't you see how handsome I am? Wait for me!" Zhuge Tianxin still wanted to be shamelessly narcissistic, but the mysterious little beast ignored him and flew directly toward the cover Zhuge Tianxin had mentioned, then disappeared inside. Zhuge Tianxin had no choice but to walk toward the cover, where he also disappeared.

"This is the object you mentioned? This is clearly just a dagger! What's so important about this? It's not even as good as the two weapons I found earlier. Look at you, being so nervous." After entering, Zhuge Tianxin saw that there was nothing inside except for a dagger lying on the ground. Yes, just lying on the ground—that was the word that came to Zhuge Tianxin's mind when he saw the dagger, because the entire blade was covered in rust, just thrown on the ground.

"What could a narcissistic and arrogant head like yours possibly know? This sword... dagger is a key. Only it can open that place. The thing you want is in there." The mysterious little beast ignored Zhuge Tianxin's words.

"What? This is a key? You aren't lying to me, are you? This is clearly a dagger."
