Siyuan walked over at this moment, the energy device on the back of his hand flickering intermittently, his brows tightly furrowed: "Five now. It's not only the villagers—every animal nearby is gone too. It's bizarre. And the ones left outside refuse to come close to this area. I tried communicating with them, and they said there's something terrifying around here, so they're staying away."
At this point, Siyuan's ability allowed him to communicate seamlessly with almost all spirit creatures and animals—this skill was absurdly cool. After checking, Gu Tao seemed to confirm that Siyuan's glove had fused with him at the genetic level. In the future, Siyuan might even evolve into something between human and spirit creature. Gu Tao had wanted to resolve this for him before, but Siyuan said it made him feel comfortable this way and didn't want any changes, so he declined Gu Tao's suggestion.
