"It seems like there is no scent of any powerful monsters?"
Duo Lai specialized in offensive and destructive skills, but it also possessed its own unique insights into wilderness hunting and scouting.
The key was its sense of smell.
Perhaps due to devouring a variety of monsters (strike that) delicacies or perhaps from hunting alongside Xi Liu for so long, sometimes a whiff was all Duo Lai needed to determine whether there were any tasty... that is, powerful monsters in the vicinity.
Of course, this ability was hit or miss since not every monster could serve as a high-order ingredient.
Without letting down its guard, Duo Lai's little face scrunched up in concern until it caught sight of a building shrouded in a faint twilight in the distance, at which point it breathed a sigh of relief.
"An unclaimed wilderness building, hooray!"
