It took ten minutes for Mu You and Cola to reach the spot marked by the light on the detector.
They were now close to the center of the Qubai Mountain Range, and the surrounding vegetation was frighteningly dense.
Precisely because the trees here were so thick, even the Warhawk's view could barely penetrate the foliage to spot the creatures hidden within.
"It's definitely around here."
Mu You put the instrument away, since the two dots on it had already overlapped. At such close range, the detector was no longer accurate. From here on, he could only rely on his eyes.
"Meow!!"
Mu You was just about to search carefully when Cola suddenly yowled beside him and lunged at him, swinging both claws at his face.
"Cola?"
Mu You dodged aside and looked at him in puzzlement.
Cola landed, tucked his tail, and arched his back, every hair on it standing on end. He looked ready to attack at any moment, but his eyes kept darting in a particular direction, frantically signaling to Mu You.
Mu You immediately understood something. Rather than tangle with him, he waved the Magic Wand and blinked away, then surveyed the surroundings while evading Cola's pursuit, paying particular attention to the direction Cola had indicated.
Sure enough, he soon spotted something!
A sizable nest sat in the fork of a three-meter-tall tree over there. Crouched inside was a bird that looked a little like an owl, except that its entire body was covered in purple feathers, giving it a distinctly uncanny appearance.
"Meow!"
Cola was still frantically clawing at everything behind him, so there was no way to ask him about it now.
But Mu You had already noticed that the bird's gaze remained fixed on Cola! He therefore reckoned its ability was probably similar
