These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 280: Strange discoveries

"What do we do now?"

After being introduced, it didn't feel like there was anything to actually do in this place.

After all, this was a place where Abyss Guards were gathering to prepare for the invasion.

It wasn't just us that was gathering and the others had already finished most of the preparations. At the same time, this was an event that happened often enough that all of the defenses had been prepared ahead of time.

So it really didn't feel like there was anything for us to do here.

And as expected…

"Nothing, just make yourself comfortable. Find a good place to defend and wait for the enemies to come." Yun Tian said with a shrug.

A bitter smile appeared on my face when I heard this.

Before coming in, he had acted as if there was something that he had to rush back to do. But now that we were in the Abyss, it felt like there was nothing urgent at all with the way that he was acting.

Though it wasn't as if I didn't understand why there was this sudden change in attitude.

If one knew about this, one would naturally feel anxious if they weren't in the Abyss where they couldn't see what was happening. But in the Abyss, one would be able to respond in minutes if something did happen.

So there was no need to worry until the enemies actually arrived.

Only it felt a bit awkward just sitting around doing nothing when things were like this. When everyone else was doing their own thing, it just felt like there was something wrong with sitting there doing nothing.

As if he could see through my thoughts, Yun Tian suddenly said, "If you really can't sit still, then you can scout out the area."

A faint smile appeared on my lips when I heard this.

After all, there was no real reason for me to do this since this would have been done a long time ago by the others that were in the camp. However, I knew that this was basically his way of saying go take a walk if you can't calm down.

So in the end, I gave a simple nod in response.

It felt weird sitting here, so maybe a walk to clear my mind would be a good thing.

Iris and Wang Rong looked like they wanted to follow me, but I just waved my hand at them for them to stay. At the same time, I said, "Help us set up camp as well, I'll be back soon."

This was partly an excuse, but also it was a way to get them to take care of this for me.

When I left the place where all of the Abyss Guards were gathered, it felt like being back in the Abyss again. However, it wasn't as if there was a single trace of fear or worry in me.

In the first place, I wasn't that worried about exploring the Abyss since I had already adapted to this place.

Even if this place was close to the camp with all the Abyss Guards, I had already released all of the skeletal rats to survey the surrounding area. There wouldn't be a single surprise that would be able to sneak up on me.

But while I was walking around absentmindedly, there was some movement that came from my shirt.

It was a head that poked out.

Even though it should have been in the familiar space, the Astral White Tiger just didn't want to remain there. Even though it was getting bigger, it still seemed to enjoy sleeping inside of my shirt.

Since it wasn't actually causing any harm, I never said anything about the Astral White Tiger.

After all, the Astral White Tiger was an important partner of mine.

I had long acknowledged the power of the Astral White Tiger and believed that it was one of the strongest cards that I had.

However, for the Astral White Tiger to react at a time like this…

"Is something wrong? Did you find something?"

The Astral White Tiger acted like it didn't hear me say this at first as it looked in a certain direction. It was only after a while that the Astral White Tiger looked at me as if it wanted me to go somewhere.

This was a look that I was familiar with and I didn't hesitate at all to go in the direction that the Astral White Tiger pointed in.

Every other time that the Astral White Tiger did this, it usually led me to something important.

So this time, I would trust the instincts of the Astral White Tiger.

After moving for a while, the Astral White Tiger suddenly tapped my chest to have me stop.

I looked at it with a confused look since I had been scouting my surrounding area with the skeletal rats the entire time, but I hadn't found a single thing. It seemed that the Astral White Tiger had found something that I hadn't noticed.

Still, I stopped and waited for the Astral White Tiger to guide me.

With the Astral White Tiger leading the way, it didn't take long for me to arrive at what it was looking for.

I was surprised to see this thing, but then I quickly knitted my brows as I realized what finding this thing meant.

"Why didn't the dungeon change it into loot?" I couldn't help asking myself as I looked at the corpse of the Abyss Demon that was on the ground.

A very strange look appeared on my face as I looked at this Abyss Demon.

That was because I had noticed two things about it.

First was the fact that this Abyss Demon basically had its chest ripped apart. It was as if there was something that had torn the Abyss Demon open like this.

Second, it was the fact that there was no mana fluctuation from the Abyss Demon at all.

But that was strange since everything should have some kind of mana fluctuation in this world…
