Madeline noticed the fervent gleam in the eyes of the Patrol Team members and likely guessed their thoughts.
That's why Madeline no longer mentioned the plan to buy meat from Dong Tianyu and decided instead to arrange for her own people to explore the forest.
Perhaps because Dong Tianyu had safely emerged alone earlier, those standing on the city walls now subconsciously disregarded the potential dangers lurking in the forest.
It didn't take long for Dong Tianyu to return home. To his surprise, while his parents had been cleaning the damaged room before he left, upon his return, they had chosen not to stay in their own villa but rather to sleep within the Companion Spiritual Treasure summoned by Mrs. Thompson.
If Mr. Thompson's choice for a Companion Spiritual Treasure resembled a speedboat due to opting for the Wave-Breaking evolution, then Mrs. Thompson, who had chosen the Bearing branch, had a Spiritual Treasure that looked not unlike a cargo cruise ship.
