After changing into the attire for the Divine Origin Continent, Lu Heng left the space alone.
The last time he entered the space from the Divine Origin Continent, he had left directly from the Misty Forest. This time, reappearing among the giant rat dens, he startled the busy giant rats.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak" sounds echoed all around, making Lu Heng's scalp tingle.
It was better to let Little Six come out and explain, and also to let them say goodbye properly. He didn't know when he would return next time.
"Master, why are we back at my home again?" Little Six stood up on its hind legs, looking at its kin around it with some joy.
"Yes, this time we really have to leave for a while, so you have time to say goodbye to them properly now."
"Master, I'll go see my dad and the old patriarch."
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here. Don't take too long."
Little Six nodded at Lu Heng and then disappeared into a hole.
Lu Heng took out an outdoor camping chair from the space and sat down in a place with fewer holes.
Since Lu Heng had returned this area to the giant rat tribe, the originally flat and beautiful grassland had been riddled with many holes, looking quite tattered.
Some young giant rats seemed not to be afraid of Lu Heng. They gathered around him in circles, their round eyes gazing at Lu Heng, communicating with each other from time to time.
Fortunately, the sounds of these young giant rats were not very loud, so Lu Heng didn't bother with them. Closing his eyes, Lu Heng thought about the route to the Angu Forest.
The Angu Forest was the closest forest to the Misty Forest that Lu Heng had found on the map of the Divine Origin Continent.
Moreover, that forest was a continuous mountain range. Although the simple map did not show its exact size, judging by the dimensions marked on the map, it should be quite large.
Anyway, once he reached a familiar place for Lu Bai, Lu Bai should remember something, or if that didn't work, he could find some magical beasts with good ability attributes and contract them.
After waiting for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Little Six emerged from another hole. It looked around and quickly spotted Lu Heng, who was surrounded by a group of young giant rats.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak." With a series of not-too-loud sounds, Little Six drove away some of the giant rats.
In the past, it had some reputation among these younger giant rats, but it was not a good one. It was usually used by the giant rat parents as a negative example.
For example:
If you don't behave, you'll be like Little Six and cause trouble, and then you'll be eaten by the giant snake.
If you don't cultivate properly and spend all day digging holes, you'll end up as useless as Little Six, good for nothing but digging holes.
And so on.
However, even though it had a past of bad reputation, now that it followed a powerful master, Little Six's reputation had finally been restored. Many giant rat parents now praised Little Six.
"You're back."
Feeling Little Six arrive beside him, Lu Heng opened his eyes and looked at the giant rats on the ground.
"Yes, the patriarch asked me to give this to you. He said it's of the same level as the last one."
"Do you have many of these?" Holding a golden magic crystal, Lu Heng remembered that the giant rat patriarch had given him one before. At that time, he didn't have metal-element abilities yet, and he only felt that the energy contained within was somewhat different, so he had casually put it into his space without paying much attention.
"Not many. This is only because another elder in the tribe passed away recently, so the patriarch gave this to me."
Looking around, Lu Heng noticed that most of the giant rats were earth-element and wood-element magical beasts. Of course, there were also many ordinary giant rats like Little Six, without any attributes.
"I mean, are there many giant rats with your attribute?"
"Not many. Including me, there are only three in the tribe now."
This probability was really not high. Lu Heng didn't know if he should feel fortunate that Little Six was not an attribute he already possessed, otherwise, it would have wasted a contract slot.
He didn't want to return to Jinyang City to release this level five metal-element magic crystal alone. He would go to Jinyang City after he finished dealing with Lu Bai's matters.
"Then let's go."
Leaving again, Lu Heng first put Little Six back into the space. It was inconvenient to travel with giant rats outside; their short legs were not suitable for long migrations.
Releasing the Gryphon, the Gryphon enlarged its body after flying to a high altitude. Lu Heng grabbed the vine hanging from the Gryphon and quickly returned to the seat on the Gryphon's back.
After finding the direction at high altitude, Lu Heng said to the Gryphon, "Fly in that direction for a while. When you see a forest, call me."
Then he also released the Golden Eagle. The Gryphon had no combat ability and could not resist attacks from other flying magical beasts. With the Golden Eagle, it could have escort.
The Gryphon let out a long cry to the sky and then flapped its wings vigorously, flying in the direction Lu Heng indicated.
The Golden Eagle followed closely beside the Gryphon, constantly paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Lu Heng confirmed the direction again. Seeing that the Gryphon and the others were in the correct position, he flashed back into the space to rest.
Lu Heng discovered that as long as he sat on the Gryphon's back and returned to the space, when he reappeared, although his position on the ground had changed, his body would reappear on the Gryphon's back.
Therefore, when entering the space on a contracted animal, his space would also change its real-world position along with the animal's movement. 138 Reading Network
Back in the space, Lu Heng was quite leisurely. He first went to see Lu Bai in his room. Lu Bai seemed to be asleep, his body rising and falling under the blanket.
Lu Heng did not wake him up. It would not be too late to call him when they reached the Angu Forest.
Then he went to see the other ability animals. At this moment, the Director and the others were talking. He only heard their conversation when he got closer.
"Master, I know I don't have any life-saving skills when you take me out, but I know you are all very capable and will protect me."
"No problem. Why don't you sit on my back later, and I'll weave a seat for you?" the Antelope said kindly.
"We can also weave seats on our bodies, but the Antelope will have to help weave them," the Black Panther added in agreement.
"I'll pass. My body is already clumsy, and I have to stand up from time to time. I..." The Black Bear shook its head. It was afraid that if it suddenly stood up, it would throw the Director off.
"What about me?" The Turtle slowly walked forward a few steps.
"You don't need to come out. The water in the other world is very normal, and your water abilities will generally not be needed," the Blood Wolf glanced at the slow-moving Turtle. This Turtle did not have the agile body of the Director, and it crawled too slowly by itself. It was really inconvenient for combat.
