Chapter 1026: Not a pet, but a person (two in one)

Under the dilapidated eaves.

Qiao Sang shot up from her sleeping bag, her pupils shrinking as she looked at the Mystic Realm rifts that nearly covered the entire sky and the Ghost-type Pets emerging from them. Her face showed shock and bewilderment:

“Are there really so many Mystic Realm rifts in this place?”

Mi Jiala frowned and said:

“Absolutely not. If the internal situation of Lost Town were like this, even with news of Du Ling Meow, not so many people would come here. And as far as I know, many Yu Beast Masters who came to explore before were able to leave safely. This should be a low-probability event.”

Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, a Pet that emerged from a Mystic Realm rift looked at her, let out a terrifying “Jie jie jie” laugh, and then its eyes glowed with purple light.

Suddenly, a bizarre scene occurred. She found that the Pet staring at her had abruptly transformed into a giant, golden, glittering trophy, identical in appearance and size to the Interstellar Cup championship trophy she had seen on television.

An illusion, making the target see what they desire in their heart, thereby controlling the target to obey… Qiao Sang’s mind was exceptionally clear, and she immediately understood what was happening.

She circulated the yu beast codex, and the Interstellar Cup in front of her transformed back into that Ghost-type Pet.

The Ghost-type Pet, only fifty centimeters tall, saw her clear eyes, took a step back, and showed a wary expression.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

At this moment, a Ghost Ring King, thirty meters tall, appeared out of thin air and roared.

The surrounding ruins trembled with the roar.

An invisible Pressure descended, and the overwhelming Pressure made the Ghost-type Pets present retreat repeatedly, their bodies stiff, not daring to move.

Immediately after, most of the wild Ghost-type Pets fled.

Only a dozen larger Ghost-type Pets remained, looking at the giant Ghost Ring King with ill intent.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao merged its claws, and the Ghost Ring King instantly grew taller, swelling to about sixty meters.

The dozen Ghost-type Pets’ pupils shrank, they exchanged glances, and then vanished by becoming invisible.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao let out a sigh of relief, wiping nonexistent sweat from its forehead.

The giant Ghost Ring King synchronized its actions, wiping its forehead as well.

“Wu Wu!”

Bao Wu Wu looked at Xiao Xunbao with an expression of adoration.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao felt the gaze, immediately lowered its claws, and puffed out its chest.

“I think we should leave here as soon as possible.” Qiao Sang glanced at the constantly appearing Mystic Realm rifts in the distant sky and said worriedly:

“Why don’t we leave now?”

Mi Jiala slowly said:

“I think now is a very good opportunity for training.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

Mi Jiala continued:

“And with so many wild Ghost-type Pets now, I’m sure many good things will be brought out.”

Good things… Qiao Sang immediately weighed the pros and cons.

She had Bao Wu Wu by her side, so if there were good things, she would definitely find them quickly. Looking at the situation just now, although there were many Ghost-type Pets emerging, their levels weren’t particularly high. At most, their numbers looked terrifying. Even if she encountered something she couldn’t handle, she still had Teacher Mi Jiala…

As she was thinking, Mi Jiala added:

“Ghost-type Pets mostly absorb negative energy to increase their power. Now that so many Mystic Realm rifts have appeared, the people in this town will continuously generate negative energy. This is a great opportunity for the Ghost Ring King to improve its strength.”

Qiao Sang said seriously:

“I’ll listen to Teacher! Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!” Xiao Xunbao cried out with full vigor.

“Let’s go train!” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao!” Xiao Xunbao’s heart was filled with passion.

Become stronger, become stronger, it wants to become stronger!

Qiao Sang and Xiao Xunbao exchanged glances, then tacitly turned to Ya Bao’s side and began to wake him up.

“Ya Bao, wake up!”

“Xiao Xunbao! Xiao Xunbao!”

Steel Treasure: “…”

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao slowly woke up. When he saw the scene in the distant sky, he instantly became alert and adopted a ready-to-fight stance.

After experiencing No. 53 Mystic Realm and losing to Lu Bao, Ya Bao was much easier to wake up… Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.

It has to be said that Ya Bao’s alertness brought a sufficient sense of security.

“Ice Emperor!”

Suddenly, Lu Bao, who had woken up when the first Mystic Realm rift appeared, stared ahead and cried out with a serious expression.

Qiao Sang looked over, and a large black ghost mist surged towards them.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure proactively went to meet it, slowly growing larger and flapping its wings forcefully, instantly raising a fierce Typhoon.

Sand and stones flew, and the already dilapidated houses nearby instantly disintegrated, shattered, and stones and broken wood were swept into the sky.

The black ghost mist was dispersed by the Typhoon.

A Pet, about seven meters tall, mostly purple, and shaped like an alarm clock, flew backward as the mist dispersed, landing heavily on the ground.

Slow Clock, a Ghost-type King-level Pet, possessing the ‘slow’ characteristic, where everything in the world appears to be in slow motion to it… Qiao Sang recognized the Pet lying on the ground, had a premonition, and her expression instantly became solemn.

At the same time, the remaining thin mist in front surged, and a Pet about ten meters tall, with a purple upper body, light purple lower body, black eyes, and a black ribbon tied around a person below, shaped like a balloon, floated out.

Floating World Ball, a King-level Ghost-type Pet. It is said that it can float to another world, and if it carries people and Pets, it can transport them to that world… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in front of her, and relevant information surfaced in her mind.

Ya Bao showed a wary expression, its body slowly growing larger.

“Save, save me…” The woman bound by the black ribbon said weakly.

The Floating World Ball looked down, and a translucent energy surged from the woman, as if something was being sucked away.

Almost at the moment the translucent energy was sucked away, the woman’s face aged at a visible rate.

“It’s vital essence.” Mi Jiala said.

She made no move, clearly not intending to intervene.

Qiao Sang issued an order:

“Exploding Flame Bullet.”

Ya Bao immediately opened its mouth, and a red-gold beam of light shot out from it towards the Floating World Ball’s location.

The Floating World Ball did not dodge, also opened its mouth, and shot out a thick black wave.

“Bang!”

The red-gold beam of light completely overpowered the black wave, directly suppressing it and impacting the Floating World Ball.

“Floating World!”

The Floating World Ball screamed, flew backward, and crashed into a distant semi-collapsed dilapidated house.

The woman fell downward as the Floating World Ball flew backward.

Just then, Qiao Sang said:

“Don’t let Slow Clock get away.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, teleporting to Slow Clock’s shadow.

The dark shadow instantly connected Slow Clock’s shadow, which was spitting black mist at Bao Wu Wu.

“Slow…”

Slow Clock was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the ground.

“Wu Wu!”

Bao Wu Wu seemed to understand something, and floated to Qiao Sang’s side with a look of lingering fear.

On the other side, the woman landed steadily on the ground, showing none of her previous weakness.

The Floating World Ball, covered in injuries, floated to her side and spat translucent energy at her.

The energy enveloped her and was completely absorbed into her body, and the woman’s face instantly regained its youth at a visible rate.

At the same time, a giant Ice Cone, like a small mountain, appeared out of thin air and slammed heavily onto Slow Clock.

“Slow!”

Slow Clock let out a mournful scream.

The woman’s face turned ugly, and she asked:

“When did you find out?”

Qiao Sang said calmly:

“When we entered this town, Slow Clock and Floating World Ball were already with you. Later, you kept following me, and since you didn’t make a move, I ignored you.”

“And that black mist just now should be Slow Clock’s skill. I remember reading that Slow Clock has an absorption characteristic and can spit black mist. Targets enveloped by it will be sucked into its body.”

“You must have wanted to take Bao Wu Wu, right?”

Please… you… collect_6_9_Book_Bar (six//nine//book//bar)

“I just didn’t expect the black mist to be dispersed so quickly, so I implemented plan B, asking Floating World Ball to pretend to be a wild Pet, drawing all our attention, allowing Slow Clock to take Bao Wu Wu away.”

Such a student who doesn’t need to be worried about… Mi Jiala smiled contentedly at the side.

Completely correct… The woman’s expression was full of solemnity and vigilance.

She had originally thought she was dealing with the foreigner, but she hadn’t expected the true person to pay attention to was someone else. She hadn’t even noticed the other party’s presence before…

Since she was discovered, a fight was inevitable!

The woman shouted:

“Absorb!”

“Slow!”

Slow Clock, lying on the ground, opened its mouth, and black gas emerged from it.

Almost at the same time, Ya Bao opened its mouth, and a red-gold beam of light, several times faster than the black gas, shot out, directly hitting Slow Clock.

“Slow!”

Slow Clock screamed and flew backward.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao stood still, motionless, but its two-dimensional Dark Shadow Control transformed into a three-dimensional mode, wrapping around Slow Clock and pulling it back.

Ya Bao opened its mouth again, and fierce flames swept over its fangs.

A giant Yan Jiaoou head, formed by flames, appeared simultaneously, synchronizing its movements, and bit fiercely at Slow Clock.

“Misfortunes never come singly!” The woman shouted.

“Floating World!”

The Floating World Ball transformed into a purple light and rushed forward.

But at this moment, the surrounding temperature plummeted.

The Floating World Ball was instantly covered in a thick layer of ice, freezing it in place.

“Bang!”

At the same time, the giant Yan Jiaoou head, formed by flames, bit heavily onto Slow Clock, erupting with terrifying flames and shockwaves.

“Slow!!!”

Slow Clock let out a miserable scream, its eyes rolled back, and it completely fainted.

The woman’s face turned pale, realizing that the opponent in front of her was far more troublesome than she had imagined.

She opened her mouth, and finally spoke:

“I just want Bao Wu Wu to help me find Du Ling Meow. Name your condition, and I will agree to anything.”

“Wu Wu…”

Bao Wu Wu quietly moved further away from Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang said indifferently:

“No matter what you offer, I will not agree.”

“Wu Wu…”

At these words, Bao Wu Wu showed a moved expression and quietly moved closer to Qiao Sang again.

“I only have less than three months left to live. If I don’t have Du Ling Meow, I’ll die!” The woman’s face was as pale as paper, and her tone was pleading.

A faint black mist enveloped her, surging upwards.

Seeing this, Mi Jiala frowned, as if she had thought of something.

“Xiao Xunbao~” Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up as if it smelled something pleasant, and it began to inhale deeply.

Qiao Sang glanced at the Mystic Realm rift appearing not far behind her, sighed, and said:

“You should first think about how to safely get out of this town. If you can’t get out, you might not even have three months.”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then realized something and turned her head.

The cold air around Lu Bao dissipated.

The ice shell on the Floating World Ball melted away.

“Let’s go.” Qiao Sang said to Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

The next second, it disappeared from the spot, taking Qiao Sang, Mi Jiala, and Ya Bao with it.

…

In the town, the black ghost mist grew thicker. Yu Beast Masters either fled in panic, cried and screamed, or fought bravely… The scene was in complete chaos.

At the same time.

In the high sky.

Xiao Xunbao controlled the thirty-meter-tall Dark Shadow to attack the wild Pets.

Although the power of the Dark Shadow was similar to its main body, its attack area was large, so it could attack many wild Pets at once.

Qiao Sang sat on Ya Bao’s back, holding a Pet egg.

Lu Bao stood behind her Yu Beast Master, continuously exhaling cold air at the wild Pets appearing behind them.

“Did you find anything just now?” Mi Jiala floated beside Qiao Sang and asked.

Just now? Qiao Sang recalled and sighed:

“Professional Beast Tamers are indeed much stronger. That guy’s King-level Pet just now didn’t feel as strong as the ones I encountered in competitions.”

Mi Jiala: “…”

“Look closely at these people and the ghost mist.” Mi Jiala guided.

Qiao Sang carefully looked at the people below and the thickening ghost mist, then raised her head in surprise and analyzed:

“Some of the energy in this ghost mist seems to be surging towards the same place. Is there a very high-level Ghost-type Pet absorbing this energy?”

Generally, Ghost-type Pets absorb energy within a certain range, but now, so much energy is surging towards one direction simultaneously, yet the Ghost-type Pet’s figure is still not visible. Clearly, that Ghost-type Pet is not simple.

“That’s right.” Mi Jiala said solemnly:

“Not only that, but I checked before coming. Once you enter Lost Town, the exit will hide and disappear. To get out, you either need a Pet that can see through illusions, or a Pet that is so powerful it is completely unaffected by the ghost mist and can leave at any time, or you have a tether line, and there’s a tether Gilo outside the ghost mist that can pull you directly out.”

“The tether line is actually the hair of a tether Gilo. As long as psychic power is attached to it, it can sense it and pull you out. Many people spend a lot of money to get one before entering here.”

“Look at the people here, many have a tether line tied to their hands. They have almost all tried to attach psychic power, but not a single person or Pet has gotten out.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then looked down and sure enough saw that most people had a white thread tied to their hands, and many people were crying and shouting at this thread.

The tether line failed?

Now that she thought about it, the Yu Beast Master with Slow Clock also had one earlier. No wonder she dared to attack her with so many Mystic Realm rifts around… Qiao Sang then thought of something, her heart rate inevitably quickening, and she cautiously asked:

“Teacher, can you still get out?”

Mi Jiala glanced at her:

“Of course.”

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in confusion:

“Why did the tether line fail?”

“Either the tether Gilo that provided the tether lines had a problem, or this town has a problem.” Mi Jiala said solemnly.

With so many people, it’s impossible that all the tether lines on their hands came from the same tether Gilo. The problem is with this town… Qiao Sang frowned and guessed:

“Could it be that a Ghost-type Pet doesn’t want us to leave?”

“Only Superpower System Pets can perform Space Lockdown.” Mi Jiala looked at the direction where the ghost mist was surging and said word by word:

“It’s not a Pet, it’s someone who doesn’t want us to leave.”
