Han Wu returned to the new cave and found the roe deer leisurely grazing.
Seeing Han Wu, he excitedly ran over on his hind legs.
His mouth opened and closed, and with extreme effort, he spat out a single word: "I..."
Han Wu glanced at the roe deer twice in surprise.
"You can talk now?"
The roe deer nodded excitedly, his mouth stammering, "Y-yes... yes, yes, yes..."
In the Giant Beast Awakening Secret Realm, it was very difficult for non-humanoid lifeforms to master proper pronunciation.
For the roe deer to grasp the skill of speech before reaching level 200 truly meant he was exceptionally gifted.
Han Wu was quite pleased as well.
At least now that the roe deer could speak, Han Wu would no longer need to guess what he meant from those dazzling, chaotic gestures.
Just as Han Wu was about to rest, the roe deer mysteriously edged closer and said to him, "Do... do you have any n-news about the m-mission... t-target?"
Han Wu frowned. He had basically guessed that the roe deer was an assassin sent by Giant Beast Valley into the Giant Beast Awakening Secret Realm to kill him.
But because of his intelligence, as well as Han Wu's deliberate deception and guidance, the roe deer had come to believe that Han Wu was also a disciple of Giant Beast Valley.
Now that the roe deer had asked about the mission, Han Wu felt a few doubts rise in his heart.
Could this foolish roe deer have discovered his true identity?
He moved one hand behind his back, already prepared to summon his sickle.
If the roe deer showed even the slightest sign of something wrong, Han Wu would strike without hesitation and end him right here!
The roe deer was a very competent companion.
