Chapter 29: How can such a powerful supernatural panda be a pet?

Just as Su Hao entered the ancient castle ruins, a helicopter suddenly flew over near the building where the shelter was located.

The helicopter circled the building twice, then landed in an open space in front of the building.

A pretty girl with a slender figure, twin tails, wearing hunter leather armor and carrying a longbow stepped down from the helicopter.

On her slightly baby‑fat face were two round, big eyes, which were now looking around in puzzlement.

"Strange, I clearly sensed the presence of intelligent life here, but after coming over I see nothing at all."

After binding the shelter, her awakened talent was related to perception, and later she also obtained a hunter's supernatural sequence rune, which also includes the ability to enhance perception.

With the two stacked, even a Second‑ or Third‑Tier supernatural being would find it hard to escape her perception.

But her perception now clearly shows that there is a shelter nearby, with the auras of one strong and one weak intelligent life inside, yet looking around she sees no one.

"Roar!"

Just then, a low growl suddenly came from in front of the pretty girl.

Following the direction of the sound, she stared, frozen in place.

She saw that, at a height of about twenty‑five or twenty‑six meters above the ground, a giant panda suddenly appeared, standing there in mid‑air.

"Huh? What the heck? Can pandas fly?"

"Even if this panda is a supernatural beast, flying is a bit over the top!"

"No!"

Soon she noticed a clue.

If she stared closely at the ground beneath the panda, she would see a ripple appearing in that patch of "sky".

Even an ordinary person, let alone many supernatural beings, would hardly notice this problem.

But this girl is a supernatural being of the Hunter sequence; her eyesight and observational skills have been strengthened, so she noticed the detail.

"So that means the building beneath the panda is in an invisible state?!"

After realizing this, the girl widened her eyes again; her shock was no less than seeing the panda standing in mid‑air.

From the moment she saw the panda appear, she knew her perception was correct—there really is a shelter here.

Then the invisible building under the panda's feet must be either the shelter itself or the place where the shelter is located.

She clearly understood what it meant for a building in the Dark Forest to be able to hide itself automatically.

If this technology could be popularized, more people of Shen Xia could survive in the apocalypse.

Of course, the premise is that the method making the shelter invisible is a reusable technology, but…

"Sigh! I don't even know if there's a way to obtain this precious technology through trade."

The girl sighed helplessly.

"Roar?"

On the rooftop, the panda looked down at the girl standing there, her face constantly changing colors, tilting her head slightly confused and letting out a growl.

"Thigh said, today maybe a human will come over; it must be this human female, this person, looking a bit not very smart?"

"Never mind, let's go down and take a look!"

The panda thought for a moment, then leapt forward, jumping down from the eight‑story‑high rooftop with a "Bang!" and slammed heavily onto the ground.

It smashed a shallow pit in the ground in front of the building, but the panda was completely unharmed.

It got up from the ground, shook off the dust, twisted its plump body, and walked toward the girl.

Seeing this scene with her own eyes, the girl was utterly stunned, her eyes wide round, her little head filled only with question marks and exclamation points.

"No way, what a monster! At least twenty meters high, you jump down from that height and you're completely fine? Can you be a decent person?!"

"Ah, wrong, it's a panda, not a person…"

"But a panda can't be that tough, right? Could it be a Second‑Tier supernatural beast?!"

Thinking this, the girl's expression changed again, from surprise to fear.

It seems only this possibility can explain why this giant panda is so tough.

"Roar!"

Seeing the girl still constantly changing her facial colors, the panda couldn't help but roll its eyes and let out another low growl.

"This human female couldn't really be an idiot, could she? She can't compare to Thigh; I can't stay too close, I heard stupidity is contagious!"

The panda hastily stopped its steps, standing over ten meters away from the girl, and gestured wildly with its hands.

"Ah! Wait a moment!"

Watching the panda gesture for a long time, the girl suddenly smacked her own head, opened the translation module on her communication bracelet, and activated real‑time translation mode.

"All right, we can now communicate normally."

"Roar? (How did this idiot human female suddenly learn to speak panda?)"

"Girl: …"

"Let's just say, calling someone an idiot to their face isn't very nice; I'm at most a bit dense, how did I become an idiot……

"Forget it! This is very likely a Second‑Tier supernatural beast; we can't afford to offend it even a little!"

After venting a complaint in her mind, the girl suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and said with a smile:

"Because I activated the auto‑translation mode of the translation module, everything we say will be automatically translated into the other's native language."

"Roar? (Did you hear me just now calling you an idiot?)"

"Girl: …"

"Please don't bring this up again!"

"Also, why are you putting on that innocent look, hey!"

The girl took a deep breath, hard‑pressed to keep her smile, and chose to ignore the panda's question.

"Hello, I am Ling Xue'er, a Tier 4 member of the Doomsday Investigation Team of Humanity—Shen Xia."

Because the extreme cold disaster has already arrived, the purpose of our coming here today is to search for surviving Divine Summer people, and at the same time to express goodwill to you.

Perhaps in the future, in some matters, we will have opportunities to cooperate; may I add you as a friend for convenience?

Ling Xue'er shook the communication bracelet on her left hand, smiling as she spoke.

In her view, Da Xiong Mao's strength is so great that it must be the owner of that nearby shelter.

Roar! (You need to tell my family's big... uh... master about this; he's not home now, you can come back in the evening.)

Master?!

After hearing Da Xiong Mao's words, Ling Xue'er widened her eyes again and again and again.

No, what the heck? Master? Such a strong Da Xiong Mao still has a master? Could it be that this Da Xiong Mao is a pet?!

This, this is impossible!!

If such a strong Da Xiong Mao really is a pet, then how powerful must its owner be? A Third Tier transcendent?

Roar! (You're overreacting; anyway, my master will return in the evening, so if you're fine, you can wait here.)

Hmm... then I'll come back later; I'll first go nearby to search for other survivors.

Having said that, Ling Xue'er turned her body, walking somewhat numbly toward the helicopter.

There's no way; anyone in this situation would end up numb, right?

Originally seeing an invisible shelter already surprised her; then she encountered a Da Xiong Mao whose strength might reach Second Tier transcendent, and finally this Da Xiong Mao said it still has an owner!

Numb!

My whole body is numb!!

Roar! (Wait a moment!)

Just then, Da Xiong Mao seemed to think of something, its eyes excited as it called out to Ling Xue'er.
