Chapter 537 I got one thing

"What is this? What do I need to take?"

Lin Xiyue's curiosity was further piqued, and she couldn't help but ask casually.

This thing really piqued Lin Xiyue's curiosity. After all, it was a creature that could make sounds, and it sounded like a living thing. Moreover, it was asking them to fetch something.

"These are creatures specifically raised to store things; they can hide things they don't want others to find. What you need is something that can answer your questions. That thing is safer here."

Meros smiled slightly and answered patiently.

His voice was deep and magnetic, making people want to hear more of what he had to say.

The mystery in Lin Xiyue's heart grew stronger, and she couldn't help but imagine what this so-called "thing that could answer her questions" would look like.

However, since Meros did not allow her to open her eyes at this moment, all her imagination could only remain in her mind.

Melos seemed to sense Lin Xiyue's curiosity. While answering her questions, he gently patted the ball beneath him again, as if urging it to speed up.

Sensing its owner's command, the ball quickly began to roll, carrying the two of them forward.

"Hmm... okay. How much longer until we get there? I'm afraid I'll fall asleep."

Looking at the pitch blackness before her, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel a little bored. She pouted slightly and muttered something.

"A few more minutes, just wait for it to bring my things over... Hmm, here it comes."

However, before Meros could finish speaking, the thing flew back as fast as lightning.

Surprisingly, it did not fly back alone, but led a large group of similar companions back with it.

Although these companions look quite similar to it, their patterns and appearances are slightly different.

The group of things flew in quickly, carrying a pure white, metallic-looking cube.

The cube shimmered brilliantly under the tunnel lights, looking quite magical.

"Chirp~"

The strange creature that was leading the group flew up to Meros and let out two triumphant cries, as if showing off its accomplishments.

Then, it stared intently at Meros, its wings flapping incessantly, as if waiting for something.

Seeing this, Meros smiled and nodded, then slowly took out a small bag from his pocket.

He tossed the bag gently, and it landed precisely in front of the strange creature that was leading the pack.

The lead bird swiftly and accurately snatched the bag with its sharp beak, its movements as natural and fluid as flowing water.

Then, it cleverly tilted its head back, causing the bag's rope to slide down its neck and finally be securely around its neck.

"Chirp~~ Chirp chirp~"

After completing this series of actions, the strange bird looked down and examined the contents of the bag.

When it discovered that the bag was full of amethyst, a look of joy appeared on its face, and it cheerfully barked twice at the group of its kind behind it, its voice clear and loud.

"Chirp~"

"Chirp~"

"..."

Upon hearing the call of the lead strange bird, the rest of the strange birds immediately chirped in response, as if they were exchanging messages.

Then, they cautiously approached Meros, each step showing deliberation and each movement revealing their fear of Meros.

Nevertheless, these strange birds only dared to stop about a meter away from Meros, refusing to take another step closer, as if there was something about Meros that frightened them.

"Tsk...troublesome."

Meros frowned as he watched the strange birds' actions, clearly displeased with the situation.

However, he was helpless in the face of these timid and strange birds and could only sigh inwardly.

These creatures have an exceptionally keen sense of danger, as if they were born with a special kind of intuition.

Even if someone has no intention of harming them, they will flee without hesitation as soon as they sense any potential threat.

Therefore, it is quite remarkable that they can hold their ground at this moment, only one meter away from Meros, without fleeing.

However, precisely because of this characteristic, many foreign nobles specially dispatched people to raise them in order to take advantage of their ability to hide items.

Moreover, compared to ordinary individuals, their leaders are slightly bolder and possess a certain level of communication ability, which makes them very easy to tame.

Faced with this situation, Meros thought for a moment, and then the shadow behind him began to churn violently, as if some enormous power was surging within it.

Just two seconds later, an unusually thick tentacle suddenly emerged from the shadows and sped away like lightning, heading straight for the flock of strange birds.

All of this happened so fast that the strange birds didn't even have time to react.

In the blink of an eye, the tentacle reached its target with astonishing speed, easily seizing the pure white box.

"Chirp chirp!!!"

"Chirp!!"

"..."

The next second, the strange birds seemed to wake from a dream, screaming in fright. Like headless flies, they flew around aimlessly, completely losing their sense of direction and coordination.

In the chaos, they collided and dodged each other, creating a very disorderly scene.

After a while, the strange birds seemed to finally realize their lapse in behavior and began to regain some of their rationality.

They stopped flying around blindly and instead gathered behind the leading strange bird, each one appearing timid and hesitant, as if the leading strange bird was their only support.

Meros couldn't help but feel a headache as he watched the strange birds' behavior.

"Tsk, you guys can leave."

He shook his head helplessly, then spoke to the flock of strange birds.

Upon hearing Meros's words, the leader of the flock of strange birds first raised its head and let out a clear and loud cry.

The cry seemed to be a signal, and upon hearing it, the other strange birds immediately followed it and teleported away without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the strange birds vanished without a trace, just as they had appeared. Within seconds, the once noisy passageway returned to silence, leaving only Moros and Lin Xiyue sitting on the ball, remaining in place.

Seeing this, Meros felt a little relieved. He gently patted the sphere beneath him, as if to comfort it.

The sphere seemed to sense Meros's intention, emitting a low hum, and then, as if receiving a command, slowly flew forward.

"Buzz~ Buzz~~"

The humming sound of the sphere echoed in the air with a peculiar rhythm, as if it were communicating with its surroundings.

It flew straight toward the blue vortex that appeared again ahead, its speed increasing until it finally plunged into the vortex like a bolt of lightning.
