The second experiment finally went smoothly.
Probably because they had learned from the first attempt, they managed to communicate much faster this time.
After Little Otter shrank the newly caught big fish, the confusion on his face made it clear he still could not understand why anyone would make food smaller. If it got smaller, it would not fill them up.
Nameless and Xia Shu ran several more tests, using their voices to help him quickly understand whether they wanted something bigger or smaller.
