Xu Tiancai and the others looked alertly at the cheetah-like creatures before them, their hands instinctively tightening around their weapons. After the cheetah creatures paced in place for a moment, one of the larger ones took a few steps forward and let out a low roar from its throat. Its roar echoed across the grassland, sounding like a warning.
Xu Tiancai tried releasing a trace of gentle Starlight Power to convey to these creatures that they meant no harm. The lead cheetah creature seemed to sense this power, and the vigilance in its eyes eased slightly, though it still did not drop its guard. "We need to repair the airship, and I hope we can avoid a conflict with them," Xu Tiancai said softly to his teammates.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a melodious flute sound drifted over from the direction of the forest. The flute music was winding and ethereal, possessing a magical quality that set hearts aflutter. Hearing the flute, the cheetah creatures turned their heads toward the forest one after another. The lead cheetah let out a low whine and turned with its pack to sprint toward the forest. Xu Tiancai and his companions breathed a sigh of relief, but they were also filled with curiosity about this sudden flute music.
