952 The Real Identity of the Rare Animal (2/2)

”What the f*ck?”

Zhang Zian and the elfins shouted in shock at the same time because one of the ”imperial decorative animals” suddenly started to move. It twisted its body and fell backwards off the eaves, then disappeared in front of their eyes. Before it left, it had even opened its mouth to smile.

”Which of you saw clearly? What sort of thing is that?” Zhang Zian asked, his voice trembling and his back going cold.

The elfins all shook their heads, expressing that they did not manage to see clearly. Cats, dogs, and monkeys did not have as good of vision in the daylight as humans did, and while parrots had good daytime vision, their eyes grew on the side of their heads. Their observation skills were not as keen as humans were when they looked directly ahead.

Furthermore, that thing was very agile in its movements. It had picked the time to leave very well, running away when Zhang Zian had seen it, but not clearly.

He and the elfins looked at each other, and everyone thought it was a bit weird. It was like it had been waiting for them… No, the elfins were invisible. It was waiting for him.

”Right, Zian… That feeling that you had of being watched… Is that happening now?” Old Time Tea suddenly asked.

Zhang Zian had already, more or less, become accustomed to the feeling, and it was not as uncomfortable as it was at the start. After he had left the parade square, that feeling had weakened. After Old Time Tea asked the question, he carefully felt for it, and answered in shock, ”Not anymore! Grandpa Tea, that feeling has vanished!”

”When did it vanish?” Old Time Tea questioned.

Zhang Zian was not entirely sure. ”It seems like… just now.”

Whatever Old Time Tea had left to say did not need to be said anymore; he already understood Old Time Tea's meaning: It was that thing that had run away that had been watching him.

”So that thing appeared in the parade square, then came here a step before us and was waiting for us to come. It purposely let us see it before it left… What are its goals?” Old Time Tea pondered.

No one could answer.

Before now, that thing had been hiding very well and did not expose itself. If it wanted to continue watching Zhang Zian in secret, it should have kept hiding. Since it was squatting on such an obvious eave, that meant that it was purposely exposing its position.

”Hmph! In my opinion, we can just pretend that we did not see it. I hate these kinds of sneaky things!” Fina said unhappily.

”Your Majesty, I feel that it is inappropriate. If the other party is purposely doing this, it's bound to return… Do you want to catch up to take a look?” Old Time Tea asked.

Zhang Zian turned back to take a look. The big group of tourists had almost caught up. If he did not want to squeeze with the other tourists, then he could not stop and waste time. He needed to advance quickly.

The direction that the thing ran in was deeper into the Imperial Palace. Anyway, Zhang Zian and the elfins had to continue forward, so chasing after it did not contradict with what they wanted to do.

But… he kept feeling like that thing was purposely luring them after it.

Could this be a trap?

As the saying went, 'Do not pursue a beaten enemy.' Zhang Zian was hesitating when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He took out his phone to take a look. It was actually a notification fromabout an elfin being detected.
