"Crack! Crack! ..."
With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, Chen Mo saw these animals, which resembled mutant kittens, biting chunks of crystal apart and swallowing them.
Chen Mo knew how hard crystal was. It was harder than glass, and could even scratch glass. Yet these unusual kittens' teeth were practically like alloy, able to crush crystal and swallow it whole.
He was also very curious about why these unusual kittens ate crystal.
Fortunately, that was not something he needed to study. What he needed to worry about now was whether these unusual kittens would attack him. Though his Spiritual Sense showed that they were still some distance away, the sounds of the advancing group had drawn their attention, and they were gathering in this direction.
The way their noses twitched made it clear that these fellows had an excellent sense of smell.
"Keep up, hurry up! No one is to fall behind, and don't make any loud noises. Also, if those unusual Small Animals come close, do not watch them out of curiosity, and do not tease them! Remember, stay as quiet as possible and keep up with the group." The Qian Family had people relay these instructions through the group, ensuring everyone heard them clearly.
Naturally, Qian Wantong was thorough in his work. Everyone had been notified, including Chen Mo at the very rear of the group. The people the Qian Family had assigned to deliver the message did not know Qian Wantong's methods, so there was no risk of them giving anything away.
Qian Wantong walked with the group, chuckling inwardly all the while. Even when he saw unusual kittens approaching, he was not worried in the least and simply kept moving forward with the others.
He knew that those unusual kittens nearby were actually quite formidable.
