Chapter 1202: Chapter 345: The Mysterious Tata
For this creature’s young offspring, he was holding it in his arms at the moment!
The hall of paintings suddenly quieted down.
Lin Su and the three little ones glanced at the being on the mural, then looked at Tata with an innocent face.
They look exactly alike, don’t they?!
Although Lin Su had long suspected that Tata’s origins might be extraordinary, it was only now that it was truly confirmed. Tata is very likely from the same place as the secret realms appearing on Blue Star and Shenwu.
Tata looked at his image in the painting... no, it should be the same creature of his kind, showing confusion and bewilderment on his face.
A flash of insight came unexpectedly, and Tata suddenly spoke.
"Ta! ʕ｡òᴥó｡ʔ" (It’s Wanling Hall!)
"Wanling Hall?" Lin Su blinked, "You recognize this place?"
Hearing Lin Su’s question, Tata’s expression returned to being puzzled, and he shook his head.
"Ta... ʕ≖ᴥ≖ʔ" (Don’t recognize...)
His expression seemed somewhat disappointed, as if unhappy about not being able to help Lin Su.
"It’s fine, it’s normal not to recognize it." Lin Su comforted Tata, then gradually walked towards the corner of the mural depicting the same creature as Tata.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Su gently placed Tata in front of the mural, "Want to try touching it?"
Tata nodded vigorously and reached out a chubby little paw to touch the corner of the mural.
Under the astonished gaze of Lin Su and the three little ones, the part of the mural depicting creatures of Tata’s kind started to glow.
Does it really work?
Lin Su suggested it because of the previous experience of hatching Tata, and now, he let Tata try touching it.
Unexpectedly, it triggered some special setup once again.
The mural grew increasingly bright, and then suddenly erupted with a burst of special energy.
"Jie!" (Seems like energy from the Spatial element!)
A nearby Ghost spoke quietly, with a hint of surprise.
At the next moment after Ghost’s words fell, the void in the air twisted suddenly, revealing a lavish box with countless ornate golden floral patterns.
The box appeared in mid-air at the center of the hall of paintings, then seemed to run out of energy and slowly descended.
Meanwhile, the mural depicting Tata’s kind swiftly dimmed, ultimately leaving only a blank space on the mural.
The image of Tata’s kind vanished!
Lin Su blinked.
Reports say that research on this mural hasn’t started yet, and it will be put on the agenda once those scroll studies wrap up...
So this shouldn’t count as destroying the mural, right?
But this might be for the better.
This way, Tata’s situation won’t be known by too many people.
There must not have been many who have seen the mural before, and with so many creatures, they might not notice Tata.
Soon, Lin Su’s attention shifted to the suddenly appearing treasure chest.
This treasure chest, was it given to Tata after triggering some special setup?
"Let’s go, let’s see what’s inside!" Lin Su happily carried Tata, quickly gathering in front of the chest, with the three little ones close behind, examining it all around.
The manner of opening the chest was quickly figured out, and afterward, Lin Su opened the chest, revealing the colorful...
Gemstones.
Each gemstone was a six-sided structure, akin to clear diamonds, with intricately cut facets that shone brightly under the light.
They looked very beautiful, yet Lin Su didn’t sense any energy waves from them.
These pretty gemstones seem to not even qualify as level one resources, serving only as ordinary ornaments.
"What’s this?" Lin Su picked up a light blue gemstone, bringing it close to examine carefully, but couldn’t see anything special after a long look.
At that moment, a small paw suddenly reached out, taking the gemstone from Lin Su’s hand.
It was Tata.
He looked at the nice-looking light blue gemstone, eyes sparkling with an inexplicable glow, then gently placed it on his forehead.
"Crack~"
With a crisp sound, the gemstone shattered instantly into powder, disappearing with tiny sparkles.
And Tata reopened his eyes with a sudden look of delight.
"Ta! ʕ˃ᴥ˂ʔ" (I have a new skill!)
Lin Su: "???"
Qiuqiu: "???"
Ghost: "???"
Youyou: "???"
Before Lin Su could speak, Tata started displaying his new skill.
He quickly used his microphone tail, and began to sing.
It was still the Recovery Song, but now with a difference, this time the Recovery Song gave Lin Su and the three little ones a stereo surround sound feeling.
Spirit attack doubled!
And during this process, Lin Su and the three little ones simultaneously noticed that Tata’s Recovery Song effect had at least doubled!
This new skill appears to be one that can assist with the Recovery Song!
"Ta! ʕ｡òᴥó｡ʔ" (This skill is called Sing Louder!)
Once the song was finished, Tata twisted his cute little backside with a proud expression.
"Great." Lin Su petted Tata’s small head, then looked at the box full of gemstones, "Just sticking the gemstone on your head lets you learn a new skill?"
The three little ones couldn’t hold back any longer, each taking a gemstone and sticking it on their heads.
This box contains at least a thousand gemstones of different colors!
If each one had a skill...
However, soon enough, the three little ones helplessly put down the gemstones.
They realized what Tata could do, they couldn’t.
"Ta? ʕ⊙ᴥ⊙ʔ" (Why can’t you learn?)
Tata looked at his three elder siblings, with a puzzled look.
Isn’t it a simple thing?
Lin Su casually picked up a light green gemstone and once more put it on Tata’s forehead.
Under the gaze of the trio, the gemstone easily shattered into powder.
Yet this time, Tata shook his head, indicating that he didn’t acquire a new skill.
It appears that learning skills from these gemstones also bears some probability or limitation.
"Take it back and explore!" Lin Su decided decisively, activating Space Ring to move the entire box away.
These swift movements amazed Tata in his arms, and he then fell into contemplation.
He felt that this should be something extremely precious.
Can it really all be taken...?
Lin Su didn’t bother with such trifles.
All he knew now was that he’d found a way to cultivate Tata!
