Chapter 1025: Not enough (two in one)

“Let’s begin.” Qiao Sang turned to look at Qunbao.

“Qunbao.” Qunbao nodded, its eyes glowing purple.

Some people around looked over with dark expressions, evidently having recognized Qunbao.

Qiao Sang scanned the surroundings, then let go and placed Steel Treasure on the ground.

The lesson learned from Super Dormant Star was: in the wild, don’t hide or conceal your strength; directly summon a powerful Pet and let it enlarge and follow beside you, which can avoid a lot of trouble.

Steel Treasure understood its Yu Beast Master’s intention and slowly began to enlarge.

When its body grew to over ten meters, the surrounding air seemed to solidify. Everyone looked up, gasped, and quickly averted their gaze, not daring to look further, nor to pay attention to Qunbao anymore.

Some even couldn’t withstand the Pressure and quickly left with their Pets to search elsewhere.

Most people came here to find Du Ling Meow.

Powerful Pets belong to the strong. With a Yu Beast Master who possesses a King-level Pet accompanying them, it was clear that even if they found Du Ling Meow, it would be impossible to own it themselves. It was better to search separately from the Yu Beast Master with the King-level Pet.

However, there were still a few Yu Beast Masters who showed curiosity at the never-before-seen Pet, while others looked on calmly and continued with their own tasks.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked enviously at how others were awestruck by Steel Treasure’s enormous size.

Steel Treasure lowered its head, its eyes glowing blue, and used Superpower to lift its Yu Beast Master onto its back.

“Teacher, are you coming with me?” Qiao Sang asked.

Do you think your Yan Jiaoou wants me to sit on its back too… Mi Jiala inwardly complained, then calmly said:

“No need, I can keep up with Yan Jiaoou’s movements.”

After speaking, she suddenly levitated into the air, reaching the same height as Steel Treasure’s back.

It’s really great to have a Superpower System Pet that can turn invisible, it feels especially suitable for showing off… When should I let Xiao Xunbao turn invisible and do this for me too… Qiao Sang thought.

As her thoughts flickered, Qunbao began to move, floating forward.

Steel Treasure followed behind.

Wherever they passed, Yu Beast Masters who were also searching quickly made way.

After walking for about ten minutes, Qunbao arrived in front of a ruined building with exposed steel frameworks.

Looking around, the building was enveloped by clusters of green vines emitting black mist. The hard concrete had become nourishment for the roots to grow and extend.

Ghost-type Pets that were gnawing on the vines heard the commotion, stopped, and turned to see the unusually massive red figure. Startled, they turned invisible and disappeared.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao floated to the side of the black mist-emitting vines, mimicking the Ghost-type Pets, and took a bite.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

After just one chew, Xiao Xunbao’s entire face wrinkled up in disgust, and it spat it out.

Black vines are edible grass for Ghost-type Pets. Eating them won’t cause diarrhea and can fill the stomach. Xiao Xunbao had always eaten delicious energy meals, Energy Pills that suited its taste, and various junk food, so it naturally wasn’t used to this.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but smile at the sight.

“Qunbao.” Qunbao pointed at the building.

“Is it inside?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Qunbao.” Qunbao nodded.

Qiao Sang jumped directly from Steel Treasure’s back, landing steadily on the ground.

She was now a B-level Beast Tamer. Even without professional physical training, the physical quality brought by the feedback was enough for her to jump from a height of over ten meters without any issues.

Steel Treasure slowly shrunk in size.

Qiao Sang followed behind Qunbao, entering the building.

Xiao Xunbao, holding the Pet egg, quickly followed.

Mi Jiala’s gaze subtly swept a spot two hundred meters away, then she flew into the building.

Two hundred meters away, in another ruined building, a woman with short black hair, appearing to be in her thirties, poked her head out and looked towards the distant building, asking uncertainly:

“Did she see us?”

“Slow.” Beside her, a Pet about thirty centimeters tall, mostly purple, wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet, and resembling an alarm clock, nodded affirmingly.

Slow Clock, a Ghost-type King-level Pet, possesses the ‘Slow’ characteristic. Everything in the world appears to be in slow motion to it. An unintentional movement by the other party appears incredibly clear to it.

The woman’s expression instantly became solemn.

Her Slow Clock had perfected Breath Concealment, and with the effect of the ghost mist, even she could conceal her aura. Yet, despite this, she was still discovered. This person was clearly much harder to deal with than she had imagined.

“Slow?”

Slow Clock let out a sound, indicating, “Are we still going?”

The woman pondered for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth and said:

“Follow.”

Qunbao can find rare treasures and rare Pets. Following it greatly increases the probability of finding Du Ling Meow compared to searching by herself.

… …

At the same time.

Inside the building enveloped by black vines, Qiao Sang followed behind Qunbao.

“Someone is following us,” Mi Jiala said, coming to her side.

“I know,” Qiao Sang said, unconcerned. “There was one two hundred meters away, one three hundred meters up in the sky, and another has already followed us in and is now around twenty meters behind us, by the corner of the wall.”

She paused, then added:

“The last one has no footsteps, it should be a Ghost-type Pet.”

Mi Jiala heard this and said with satisfaction:

“You are much more alert than I imagined.”

Qiao Sang sighed:

“Teacher, you don’t know, in those missions to enter Mystic Realms that I took for the Regional Competition, the teammates I encountered were all unreliable. Last time, you suggested I find a B-level Beast Tamer to go to the No. 53 Mystic Realm with me. She didn’t even make a move at first; I had to be on guard against wild Pets by myself. With me and two burdens in the Mystic Realm, how could my alertness not be high? This is all trained out of me.”

The burden, Mi Jiala: “…”

Qiao Sang then remembered her previous conjecture and changed the subject:

“But fortunately, the Yu Beast Master I hired later helped me a lot, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to complete the mission smoothly.”

Mi Jiala felt comfortable after hearing this, her brows relaxing as she said:

“Mystic Realms are indeed good places for training. When the time comes, I’ll pick a few more for you to enter and train.”

Qiao Sang: “…Okay.”

“Qunbao!”

Qunbao stopped in front, pointing at a Ghost-type Pet sleeping in a corner and calling out.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao immediately went over.

Qiao Sang stepped forward. Before she could clearly see what it was, a large expanse of dark, heavy mist surged around them.

A vast amount of Yin energy enveloped the building.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao immediately hugged the Pet egg tightly and teleported to its Yu Beast Master’s side.

“Steel Treasure,” Qiao Sang called out in her mind.

Steel Treasure, without a word, flapped its wings forcefully. A Typhoon immediately arose, dispersing the dark, heavy mist.

Qiao Sang looked towards the spot Qunbao had pointed to earlier.

She saw a brown vine, which had unknown when, wrapped around the sleeping Ghost-type Pet.

As she looked, with a “whoosh,” it was hoisted into the air like a kite.

“Jiajia!”

The entangled Ghost-type Pet woke up, showing a panicked expression, and began to struggle desperately.

The dark, heavy mist surged again.

Just as it was about to envelop the surroundings again, Qiao Sang said:

“Overlord’s Aura.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes sharpened, and an invisible Pressure descended.

The vine paused.

A barely perceptible breathing sound came from the window.

Steel Treasure’s ears twitched, and it opened its mouth towards the source of the breathing.

A beam of red-gold light instantly shot out.

The wall exploded with a roar.

“Zhidia!”

A Pet, entirely brown, about one meter tall, resembling a small tree, wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet, was struck by the light beam, screamed, flew backward, and disappeared from sight.

The vine disappeared, and the mist dissipated.

The Pet that had been entangled earlier was caught off guard and fell downwards.

Qiao Sang, quick as a flash, ran forward and caught it.

“Jiajia…”

The Pet with two hands, two feet, and three eyes, with a red eye on its forehead, stared blankly at the human who had caught it.

“Are you alright?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Jiajia!”

The three-eyed Pet reacted and quickly floated to the side.

It remembered that the human in front of it had caught it earlier, so it responded by shaking its head, indicating it was fine.

Please… collect _6_9_Book_Bar (six / / nine / / book / / bar)

At this moment, Mi Jiala said:

“Masked Puppet, a Ghost-type intermediate Pet. Its middle eye can see through illusions, making it a relatively rare Pet.”

“Qunbao!”

Qunbao nodded proudly; what it found must be rare.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao showed a disappointed expression; so it wasn’t a Du Ling Meow after all.

“Jiajia?”

Masked Puppet seemed to think of something and suddenly became shy as it looked at Qiao Sang.

“What is it saying?” Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao and asked.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao secretly chuckled and let out a sound.

It’s asking if you found it because you want to make a contract with it.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then honestly said: “No.”

Masked Puppet’s face instantly fell, and it turned invisible and disappeared.

Before coming, Qiao Sang had used Spirit Vision and clearly saw Masked Puppet still in its original spot, looking at her with a disdainful “how unperceptive” expression.

Qiao Sang: “…”

In the time that followed, Qunbao kept searching. During this period, it found a relatively rare Ghost-type Pet and two Myriad Yin Crystals that could increase the energy of Ghost-type Pets, but it found nothing else, let alone Du Ling Meow.

Xiao Xunbao gnawed on the Myriad Yin Crystal and breathed in the ghost mist here, quite enjoying itself.

Qunbao was gnawing on another Myriad Yin Crystal beside it.

Qiao Sang held the Pet egg with one hand, took out her phone with the other, checked the time, and asked:

“It’s getting late. Should we stay here or go back to sleep?”

“Steel Treasure…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Steel Treasure yawned.

Mi Jiala glanced at Xiao Xunbao and said:

“Let’s leave tomorrow. The environment here is good for Ghost Ring King.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded repeatedly, indicating its strong agreement.

Qiao Sang had no objections. She casually found a covered spot in the ruins, then had Xiao Xunbao take out several sleeping bags from its ring. She laid them out and lay down.

Steel Treasure lay in the sleeping bag beside its Yu Beast Master, closed its eyes, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Bao was also like this.

Steel Treasure didn’t enter the sleeping bag. It flew onto the ruins and stood, eyes closed, appearing to be asleep.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao had no intention of sleeping and floated around nearby.

“Qunbao…”

Qunbao sat on the ground, looking at the sky, a melancholic expression on its face.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao floated to its side, called out, asking what it was thinking about.

“Qunbao…”

Qunbao let out a sound, indicating it didn’t know if it would be able to go back then.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao patted its shoulder, showing a “don’t worry” expression, and called out, indicating that its Yu Beast Master was very powerful and would definitely be able to get it back.

“Qunbao…”

Qunbao glanced in Qiao Sang’s direction and continued to look melancholic.

Mystic Realm rifts depend on luck, and have nothing to do with how powerful a Yu Beast Master is.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao called out with a confident expression, saying, “Isn’t it just a Mystic Realm rift? With its Yu Beast Master here, a Mystic Realm rift will definitely appear.”

Qunbao: “…”

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, the air rippled, and visibly, a rift appeared in the void, then slowly opened, tearing out a gap of about five meters.

A vast amount of Yin energy emanated from within, as if the gates of hell had opened.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

“Qunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao and Qunbao stared up blankly.

Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala simultaneously opened their eyes.

Almost at the same time, within the ghost mist, at various locations in the town—on the ground, in the ruins, mid-air, and high in the sky—Mystic Realm rifts emanating Yin energy appeared one after another.

The faces of the people in the town gradually turned pale. Many began to tremble, their pupils violently dilated, and their eyes showed intense fear.

Although they had prepared for the appearance of Mystic Realm rifts before coming, the countless rifts appearing in the sky before them clearly exceeded their imagination.

Ghost-type Pets of various forms emerged from the Mystic Realm rifts.

At this moment, many people experienced the greatest terror they had felt since birth.

People in the Zhiya District indeed liked Ghost-type Pets, but the premise was that they were controllable, able to be contracted and nurtured Ghost-type Pets, not these wild Ghost-type Pets whose temperaments were unknown.

Fear and despair spread, and the ghost mist grew thicker.

“Mystic Realm rifts! How can there be so many Mystic Realm rifts?!”

“Where’s the exit! Go back! I want to go back!”

“What’s going on? I’ve never heard of so many Mystic Realm rifts appearing at the same time!”

“It’s over, it’s over…”

… …

Beside a ruin covered in cobwebs and dust, a Pet about one meter tall, black-bodied, with very long white whiskers, a sharp horn on its head, and a miniature shrinking bracelet on its claws, had its eyes closed.

The fear and despair from within the ghost mist continuously poured into its body.

Beside it, a cold-faced young man in a black T-shirt, appearing to be around 20 years old, looked at it with a gentle expression.

Not enough, still not enough… The young man turned to look at a Pet beside him, about 80 centimeters tall, mostly silver-white, with a tail about twice its height, wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet, and said:

“More.”

The silver-white Pet’s eyes glowed blue, and it looked up at the sky.

An extremely terrifying energy spread from its body.

The air vibrated.

At the same time, at various locations in the town, rifts appeared again out of thin air.
