"Right, I have this."
Sun'er wiped her fingers clean and summoned an object from her Mustard Seed Bracelet.
It was a Spirit Disk, a little trinket created by Spirit Artifact Masters. It might not even qualify as a low-grade Spirit Artifact, but as long as you fed it a wisp of a companion's aura, it could pinpoint their approximate location.
At that moment, a faint golden glimmer on the Spirit Disk stood out.
"Due north, two or three days' journey."
Mu Chen glanced toward the general direction and clapped his hands. Countless little black sparrows shot from his body, circled nimbly around him for a moment, then each picked a direction and flew off.
"Big Brother, what are those things?"
Sun'er's eyes widened with curiosity.
"My eyes. They'll carry my will and send back everything they see. They'll also tell your sister where you are."
As a Nine Nether Underworld Sparrow bearing the bloodline of an ancient divine beast, she could naturally command all beasts. She had an especially easy time directing sparrow spirit beasts. Wherever there were spirit sparrows, there were her eyes and ears.
In fact, the Nine Nether Sparrow in the Heavenly Beast Domain had been able to do the same thing long ago.
Mu Chen wasn't summoning real creatures, but creating them from spiritual energy.
Sun'er was even more confused. "Eyes?"
"Mm. Eyes."
"For example, I can see a few rats hiding over there right now."
Mu Chen turned toward the depths of the forest, beneath the spot where the flock had just swept past.
"Hahaha, brother, you've got quite a trick."
As soon as the words fell, three or five figures with formidable auras emerged one after another from the darkness.
