Why would Tana and Saidar appear here?
I subconsciously looked around, but I didn't see Nam.
Could it be that Dean Xi Bo was looking for Tana at the same time as me?
However, Tana and Nam had come to look for me a few days ago. I had even told her about the forbidden area, but Tana didn't tell me anything.
I was suspicious and worried that Nam might have been dragged into this. I pondered for a while before I hastened my footsteps and walked towards them.
Tana and Saidar were discussing something softly. When I suddenly appeared, both of them stopped talking at the same time. They were stunned.
When Saidar saw that it was me, he smiled and asked, "Duo Ji, why are you here?
Didn't Tana say that she didn't call you? "
Tana?
Called me?
I quickly realized that Saidar was called over by Tana.
Without waiting for my reply, Saidar continued to ask, "Where's Nam? Did he come with you?"
I shook my head and furrowed my eyebrows. I turned to look at Tana and asked, "What's going on?"
Tana seemed to have just woken up from her daze. Her expression was obviously flustered as she stuttered for a long time without saying a word.
Looking at her expression, I became even more suspicious.
The last time we came here, after we were saved by the cat lady, Tana had tried her best to persuade Nam and me to follow her. At that time, I had thought that it was strange, but I didn't think too much about it as I wanted to follow her. But now, her actions made me suspicious.
After stuttering for a few seconds, Tana suddenly put on a tearful expression and grabbed my arm.
"Duo Ji … I don't want to lie to you. The ferocious beast that is sealed here is the ancestor of my Rabbit tribe. I only found out about it by accident. This time, I am here to save my ancestor … I know that this matter is very dangerous, so I didn't call you or Nam. I only called Saidar …"
Her voice was pitiful. As she explained, she hugged my arm to her chest and pressed it tightly against it.
The Rabbit tribe had always been known for their beauty. Tana was the same. She had a delicate face and a well-proportioned body. The long rabbit ears on her head gave her an indescribable charm.
However, her current actions made me feel disgusted.
She and Nam were already a couple, but now she was trying to seduce me with her beauty. Regardless of what her intentions were, at the very least, it proved that she had no feelings for Nam. Most of her previous actions were to use Nam.
Apart from that, I was also very doubtful of her words.
During the Beast Hunting Trial, I thought that we accidentally came to the forbidden area of the academy. But in reality, if it wasn't for Nam and Tana, I wouldn't have come to this forbidden area to look for them.
As for the process of them coming to the forbidden area, I didn't see it at all. Now that I thought about it, it was highly possible that Tana had done something to it.
As for the matter of the rabbit race's ancestor, I also don't quite understand it.
Although he hadn't seen what the vicious beast sealed here looked like, its roar was a distinct characteristic, and the rabbit race didn't seem to have anything to do with roars.
However, I didn't dare to confirm this as Tana wasn't affected by the roar previously. From this point of view, it seemed that it was due to the influence of her bloodline.
As I pondered about this, I discreetly moved my hand away from her chest and shook my head. "I don't understand your rabbit race's matters, but you should be clear about the power of the vicious beasts here. With your cultivation, how are you able to save it?"
Tana shook her head and moved her body closer to me. She purposely replied in a gentle voice, "Brother Duo Ji, you might not know, but the giant wolf statues that we saw previously are actually a formation that is suppressing my ancestor. As long as we destroy the formation, my ancestor should be able to escape."
Upon saying that, she revealed a sorrowful expression and continued, "I called Saidar over to ask him to help me move the statues. It's a pity that the statues are too heavy and even Saidar isn't able to move them.
Just as we were thinking of a solution, we heard someone walk in, so we hastily hid. I didn't expect that it would be Brother Duo Ji. This is great. Brother Duo Ji, you're so powerful. You definitely have a solution, right? "
She kept saying 'Brother Duo Ji' in a sweet voice. It was obvious that she wanted to encourage me to help her destroy the formation. I got goosebumps when I heard that. At the same time, I doubted her words.
She said that the vicious beast would be able to escape if the formation was destroyed. However, Ao Tuo had already moved the formation when I entered. According to Dean Xi Bo, moving the formation would send me in, but he didn't mention that the vicious beast would be able to escape. It was obvious that Tana's words weren't trustworthy.
Everything that had happened today had proven that Tana had an ulterior motive in interacting with Nam and me. Hence, I didn't treat her as a friend anymore. However, I still had to find out her true motive.
After pondering for a moment, I briefly told her that Dean Xi Bo had sent me in and that the formation had already been moved.
It was obvious that Tana hadn't thought that such a thing would happen. She frowned after hearing that. However, after a short moment, she put on a happy expression and said to me, "That's great. It saves us the trouble of breaking the formation. However, there isn't any movement inside. There should be other things that are suppressing my ancestor. Let's go in and take a look. We'll know after that."
She didn't treat me as an outsider and kept saying 'we'. It seemed that she already had me in her grasp.
I shook my head and looked at Tana. "The vicious beast inside … … is your ancestor. His cultivation must be very high. Since you have a bloodline connection with him, he might not be able to harm you. However, Saidar and I don't have any bloodline connection with him. Once he's released, our lives will be in danger."
Tana hastily shook her head. "That won't happen, Brother Duo Ji. We're going to save him. Moreover, you said that my ancestor's cultivation is extremely high. Why would he make things difficult for us?"
She spoke so confidently that I naturally didn't believe her. However, I definitely had to take a look inside. It wouldn't be a bad thing to bring her along.
While I was still thinking about it, Saidar urged me. "Duo Ji, Tana is right. We're friends. Let's go in and take a look. There's nothing to be afraid of."
That naive and foolish Minotaur probably hadn't realized that Tana was using him.
I glared at him and said to Tana, "The two of us will go in. Saidar will stay here and wait. If someone comes in from the outside, he can give us a warning."
Although Saidar was foolish, he was a good person. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Nam. I naturally wouldn't stand by and watch as Tana made use of him.
Tana nodded in agreement. Sai Dar didn't seem to be satisfied. He mumbled something under his breath. I didn't pay attention to him and walked into the cave. Tana hurriedly followed me.
After walking for a short while, we arrived at a circular cave.
According to what Dean Xi Bo had said, this was our final destination. The ferocious beast was also here.
I looked in front of me and saw an eye-catching fist-sized hole at the entrance of the circular cave. However, I didn't trust Dean Xi Bo, so I naturally wouldn't do as he said and stick the rod in my hand into the hole.
Currently, I was more concerned about the ferocious beast. However, the strange thing was that when I looked into the cave, I didn't see anything.
While I was puzzled, Tana suddenly knelt down and shouted, "Tana of the rabbit race greets my ancestor …"
I followed her gaze and saw a white object the size of a watermelon on the ground in the middle of the circular cave. When it heard Tana's voice, it suddenly moved and slowly turned around.
Long ears, three petals of lips, red eyes … This thing was obviously a small white rabbit.
From its appearance, it wasn't strange to say that it was Tana's ancestor. However, I couldn't associate this small white rabbit with the loud roar that I had heard earlier.
While I was dumbfounded, the rabbit's red eyes swept past Tana and moved to me. Then, the three petals of lips under its eyes slowly opened.
