Immediately afterward, Qiao Sang felt the presence of two auras approaching her.
Judging by the sound, one of the auras seemed to be nearing with the flapping of wings.
"Ya!"
Yaobao clearly sensed the two unfamiliar auras as well. It opened its mouth, and scorching flames began to gather at its throat.
Just as it was about to launch its attack, a voice rang out from far to near:
"Don't panic, it's me."
At that moment, the thunder dissipated, and darkness once again enveloped the surroundings.
Hearing the voice, Qiao Sang felt a hint of familiarity and tentatively called out:
"Uncle?"
"It's me," Aqiel responded hurriedly.
Yaobao silently closed its mouth, extinguishing the flames.
"Don't be afraid. What the Grass Candle Monster is using is Dark Imprisonment, not an offensive skill." Aqiel reassured, "I'm the one who called you here for help. I'll take full responsibility for your safety. Just stay by my side."
