Beside him, Amber, who sported a pair of cat ears, had worn a look of keen interest ever since arriving at the river levee.
Shen Bai was familiar with this look; he had seen Amber in this state before when they encountered guile or Deceitful Objects.
Now, with no clues whatsoever, Shen Bai wanted to see what Amber could do.
Hearing this, Amber immediately turned her head and looked at Shen Bai with excitement. "Amber has a way!" she said. "This place became like this because of a Deceitful Object. The Deceitful Object then disappeared and seems to have evolved into a guile."
She proudly tilted her head up, looking as if she were begging for praise.
'I used to just be an ornament clinging to Master's leg. I was useful, but not very.'
'But ever since my second evolution, my sensory abilities have become much stronger. Now I can finally help Master in return.'
'Now *this* is what you call a useful Deceitful Beast.'
