Everyone immediately fell silent, froze in place, held their breath, and focused on sensing the surroundings.
The next second.
They all heard a string of slightly strange notes come out of Ji You's mouth. It sounded kind of like the cooing of a Drilling Bird, but… not exactly…
"Goo-oo~"
"Goo-oo~"
"Goo-oo~"
...
Everyone stared wide-eyed, ears pricked, listening in total confusion.
Ji You covered her mouth and did her best to make that sound. No one dared make a peep to interrupt her at a time like this, afraid they'd ruin everything. Even the perpetually unreliable Cheng Haoyue was listening with intense focus right now, not daring to move a muscle.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
...
Just when everyone was starting to think this method was useless, suddenly, a very faint "coo… coo…" drifted over from far away. It sounded like a Drilling Bird in the distance responding to Ji You.
Huh?
Everyone heard it and couldn't help giving a collective shiver!
