"How long after you noticed your friend was missing?"
Xiao Xiao corrected his question.
To keep the Shan Beast from returning to the previous question.
It didn't know when its friend had gone missing.
So how could it know how long its friend had been missing?
But Xiao Xiao had still overestimated this monster.
The Shan Beast stared at him blankly.
How long...
The Shan Beast slowly shook its head.
It didn't know.
It only knew that it had been searching for its friend the whole time.
It had been searching for a very, very long time.
Xiao Xiao:...
He smiled helplessly.
All right.
The Shan Beast knew nothing about anything.
He really could only rely on luck.
So far, the only good news was...
If nothing unexpected had happened to the Shan Beast's friend...
It should be very conspicuous.
Xiao Xiao's gaze swept around.
He wasn't walking slowly.
The pouring rain filled his vision with a haze of water.
The Shan Beast silently followed behind Xiao Xiao.
This human had said he would help it find its friend.
The Shan Beast belatedly realized what that meant...
Someone was helping it search for its friend!
The Shan Beast was delighted.
It had been searching very, very hard on its own.
Yet it had never found its friend.
If someone searched for its friend together with it...
That was truly wonderful.
Without Xiao Xiao reminding it, the Shan Beast conscientiously followed behind him.
Calling out to its friend again and again.
Xiao Xiao didn't speak again.
He did his best to catch any reply from the Shan Beast's missing friend.
The rain did indeed make it harder to pick up sounds.
And the Shan Beast's voice was low and muffled, so it didn't affect him too
