Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1027: Witch Mystery Demon (two in one)
Person?
Qiao Sang was stunned, her expression turned serious, and she couldn’t help but hug the Pet egg in her arms tighter.
Wild Ghost-type Pets absorbing negative energy, and someone deliberately preventing others from leaving to let Ghost-type Pets absorb negative energy, are completely different situations.
The latter is much more serious.
After a while, Qiao Sang voiced her guess:
“This Secret Realm Rift wouldn’t be man-made, would it?”
Logically speaking, with so many Secret Realm Rifts appearing, a normal person’s first reaction would either be to escape or to fight. How could they think of Space Confinement to collect and absorb negative energy?
If the purpose of entering was to let Ghost-type Pets absorb negative energy, then they would have started absorbing it upon entering, not waited until now.
This situation is more like they already knew Secret Realm Rifts would appear, and then proceeded with Space Confinement and energy absorption.
Mi Jiala was silent for a few seconds, then said in a deep voice:
“Superpower System Pets have a skill called Space Quake, which is an Ultra-level skill. It can make the space in a certain area unstable, causing tremors. If the proficiency is high enough, the tremor sensation can disappear. If it’s even higher, there’s a chance for the space to produce Rifts, depending on how stable the space it’s in is.”
She paused, her gaze sweeping over the Secret Realm Rifts high in the sky, and added:
“Secret Realm Rifts appear every day in this Lost Town, so the space is clearly unstable. If a Superpower System Pet were to use Space Quake here, it is indeed possible for so many Secret Realm Rifts to appear simultaneously.”
After Qiao Sang heard this, her first thought was: Holy crap, I knew it!
Her second thought was:
A Superpower System Pet that can use Space Quake, plus a Ghost-type Pet that can absorb such a wide range of negative energy, this person is probably very formidable.
Qiao Sang looked at Mi Jiala and asked, “Teacher, should we intervene?”
According to statistics, most Pets that can use Ultra-level skills only acquire them at the Emperor-level. To cause so many Secret Realm Rifts to appear simultaneously, the proficiency of Space Quake must be incredibly high.
High proficiency means a long training time, and a long training time means this Pet must be of a certain age, making it highly likely to be Emperor-level or even higher.
Leaving aside the Yu Beast Master, this Superpower System Pet alone is beyond her ability to handle. Only Teacher Mi Jiala, as an S-Class Beast Master, has the capability to resolve it.
Mi Jiala suddenly smiled:
“This is a great opportunity for experience. Go find this person.”
Qiao Sang: “???”
“Just me?” Qiao Sang probed.
Mi Jiala looked over:
“I will make my move when it’s time.”
With your words, I’m at ease… Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao and said loudly:
“Use Dark Shadow to absorb energy.”
She paused, then added:
“Go to a conspicuous place.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao nodded, controlling the gigantic Ghost Ring King to ascend high into the sky, its claws pressed together.
The gigantic Ghost Ring King’s body immediately grew visibly, reaching about 60 meters.
In an instant, the eyes of all people and Pets converged on it.
Seeing the gigantic Pet, which was a full 60 meters tall, everyone felt an innate fear, and even some of the more composed Yu Beast Masters couldn’t help but change their expressions.
“Wha-what kind of Pet is this?”
“Holy crap, it’s over! It’s over!”
“Ah! I want to go home! I’ll never look for Du Ling Meow again!”
“Don’t panic, everyone! This is just Dark Shadow, and this Pet has a Yu Beast Master! It’s here to help us!”
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone’s emotions shifted from sorrow to joy.
They had originally thought it was an enemy, but unexpectedly it was an ally. Although they didn’t know the name of this Pet, to be able to manifest a Dark Shadow of such a size, its strength must be extraordinary.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, the gigantic Ghost Ring King opened its mouth and inhaled, and the energy within the ghost mist instantly surged into its mouth like a tide.
This… Everyone was first bewildered, then their expressions drastically changed, and they began to curse loudly:
“We’re fighting for our lives here, and you, on the other hand, are taking advantage to absorb negative energy!”
“Whose Pet is this? Have the guts to step forward!”
“Absorbing so much, aren’t you afraid of bursting your Ghost-type Pet!”
During this time, some wild Ghost-type Pets launched attacks.
Everyone had no choice but to respond, yet they didn’t stop cursing:
“You have the guts to let your Pet absorb, but you don’t have the guts to step forward! Come out!”
“Look up! It’s that foreigner! I saw her with this Ghost-type Pet earlier!”
“Oh, so it’s a foreigner. After these wild Pets are dealt with, don’t let us see you, or we’ll beat you every time we do!”
The angry energy in the ghost mist increased significantly. Clearly, someone letting their Ghost-type Pet absorb negative energy at this crucial moment had enraged them.
Mi Jiala: “…”
The insensitivity powder is really effective, the effect is still there after such a long time… Qiao Sang stood beside her, observing the situation calmly.
The gigantic Ghost Ring King was absorbing a large amount of negative energy.
At first, the wild Ghost-type Pets all avoided it, but after realizing it was just Dark Shadow, many wild Ghost-type Pets began to attack, and among them were even some Yu Beast Masters who were dissatisfied with the gigantic Ghost Ring King absorbing negative energy at this time.
Various attacks converged, but they were all resolved one by one by Ya Bao, Lu Bao, and Steel Treasure.
As time passed, Xiao Xunbao let out a satisfied burp.
About half a minute later, the air made a strange sound, as if something was flying at high speed. A silver-white shockwave shot down from high in the sky, accurately hitting the gigantic Ghost Ring King and piercing through it.
The gigantic Ghost Ring King instantly dissipated.
The cursing also stopped.
Finally, it’s here… Qiao Sang looked up at the sky.
She saw a Pet about five meters tall, mostly silver-white with a tail about twice its body length, calmly observing Xiao Xunbao from high in the sky.
Beside it was a young man wearing a black T-shirt, who looked to be around 20 years old.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao noticed the hostile newcomer and, with a flash, appeared beside Ya Bao.
Seeing this, the young man narrowed his eyes.
Guang Misola, a Superpower System Emperor-level Pet, no gender, extremely high intelligence, likes to control others’ minds… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in the distance, information related to it flashing through her mind, and a thought crossed her mind:
“As expected, it’s an Emperor-level Pet…”
She looked at the young man, only to see that he was also looking at her.
Did the insensitivity powder wear off? Qiao Sang couldn’t help but become alert.
Everyone looked up and, seeing that someone had finally dealt with the Dark Shadow, rejoiced and eagerly spoke up:
“Brother! Well done!”
“Excellent work!”
“Holy crap, what brother, this is a big shot! Guang Misola! This is the Emperor-level Pet Guang Misola!”
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone’s eyes lit up, as if they had seen a lifeline, and they all cried for help:
“Big shot, quickly deal with these wild Pets!”
“Save us, big shot!”
“Big shot, hurry up and act, I can’t hold on much longer!”
The young man ignored them, instead looking at Qiao Sang and saying lightly:
“What a pity, such a young Yu Beast Master, actually came here because of the news of Du Ling Meow.”
Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she raised her voice, trying to make sure everyone could hear:
“The news about Du Ling Meow wasn’t deliberately released by you, was it?”
The air suddenly fell silent.
Everyone’s minds went blank.
The news of Du Ling Meow was deliberately released?
Thanks to the young man, everyone also noticed Qiao Sang, and naturally heard her voice.
The impact of this sentence was too great. Everyone looked dazed, subconsciously turning their heads to look at the young man in the sky, waiting for his answer, leaving only their own Pets and the wild Ghost-type Pets still fighting valiantly.
The young man stared at her, not speaking.
Good heavens, as expected, he deliberately released the news… Qiao Sang’s heart sank.
In the suffocating silence, she spoke:
Please… You… Collect _ 6 Ⅰ 9 Ⅰ Book Ⅰ Bar (Six
Nine
Book
Bar!)
“You released the news of Du Ling Meow, attracted everyone to this Lost Town, then performed Space Confinement, preventing everyone from leaving, and then had Guang Misola use Space Quake to create so many Secret Realm Rifts, causing panic and making everyone fall into despair and fear, all for the purpose of letting your Ghost-type Pet absorb these energies. Am I right?”
“Everything you said is correct.”
The young man admitted it readily.
The air fell silent again.
Everyone was shocked, astonished, and angry.
At the same time, despair and confusion rose in everyone’s hearts.
Everyone came here to find Du Ling Meow, but now they’re being told this news is fake? Just to deliberately lure them here for Ghost-type Pets to absorb negative energy?
For a moment, almost everyone exuded negative energy even more intensely than before.
The ghost mist visibly thickened.
Seeing this, the young man smiled:
“I also have to thank you for telling these people the news; it’s good for them to die knowing why.”
This guy, he deliberately waited for me to finish speaking, and his active admission was also to increase everyone’s negative emotions… Qiao Sang’s heart sank deeper and deeper, but then she remembered that Teacher Mi Jiala was beside her. She straightened her back, full of righteous indignation, and said aloud:
“Do you think I just had my Pet deliberately absorb negative energy to lure you here just so everyone would know the truth?”
The young man raised an eyebrow:
“Do you think you can handle me?”
Qiao Sang smiled:
“Why not?”
What? Can handle?!
These words, heard by the crowd, were like the sound of heaven. They suddenly turned their heads, looking at Qiao Sang with surprise and joy.
Meeting their intense gazes, Qiao Sang lowered her voice and said:
“Teacher, I’ve already lured him out. It’s your turn to make an appearance.”
Steel Treasure showed an expression of “I knew it.”
Mi Jiala: “…”
Mi Jiala said blandly:
“Summon all your Pets, let’s go together.”
Teacher is domineering! Qiao Sang straightened her back even more.
The young man frowned.
The other party saw Guang Misola, yet still dared to say such a thing. Either they were crazy, or they truly possessed such strength.
He glanced at the people below and smiled:
“Do you mind fighting somewhere else?”
Mi Jiala did not speak.
“Why?” Qiao Sang asked.
The young man remained still, his tone unchanged: “I want to absorb more negative energy before absorbing death qi.”
This meant that fighting here would cause many deaths, and they should die later if they were going to die.
Everyone’s pupils constricted, their expressions changed drastically. The feeling of these words was like being squeezed dry first, then swallowed whole.
The other party not only wanted to absorb negative energy, but he never intended for them to leave alive!
The energy in the ghost mist intensified again.
“Alright.” Mi Jiala nodded. “First, summon all your Pets.”
This person gives off a very strange feeling… Hearing this, the young man did not act immediately.
He was about to speak when, at that moment, his expression became blank, his hands uncontrollably lifted, and he began to form seals. The yu beast codex within his mind also operated on its own.
Before long, five massive purple star arrays simultaneously lit up before him.
Within the star arrays, five Pets of varying sizes appeared above.
A, A-grade Beastmaster… Deep despair emerged in everyone’s eyes.
Water Seal Stab Horse… Qiao Sang immediately recognized that among the five summoned Pets, there was also an Emperor-level Pet.
“Take the white one and the blue one.” Mi Jiala said.
“Pen Pen.” Pen Jiami appeared, her eyes glowing blue.
Mi Jiala looked at Qiao Sang: “The rest are up to you.”
Having said that, she vanished from the spot.
Along with her went Pen Jiami, Water Seal Stab Horse, and Guang Misola.
…
Qiao Sang looked at the remaining young man in the distance and the other four Pets. There was nothing but silence.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao’s eyes revealed a fighting spirit.
Lu Bao stared at her opponent in the distance, and cold air began to emanate from her body.
Steel Treasure smiled at its Yu Beast Master, then looked at the opponent in the distance, showing a serious expression.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao, seeing that the two most powerful ones had been taken away, felt a surge of energy. It scanned the opponents in front of it, finally provocatively hooked its short toes at one of them, a Ghost-type Pet about one meter tall, with a black body, very long white whiskers, and a pointed horn on its head, which clearly looked similar to itself.
At this moment, the young man regained consciousness. He looked at the summoned Pets in front of him and the original location of Guang Misola, his expression incredibly grim.
He raised his hands and quickly formed seals, but Water Seal Stab Horse and Guang Misola simply wouldn’t summon.
The young man’s face instantly became even uglier, even subtly pale.
Truth be told, it had been a long time since he had experienced such a feeling of being out of control.
A long-lost fear surged into his heart. The young man took a deep breath and spoke:
“Who exactly is she?”
Dream Ghost, a Ghost-type intermediate Pet, Fang Dragon, a Dragon-type General-level Pet, Arrow Blade Swallow King, a King-level bird Pet, Witch Secret Demon, a King-level Ghost-type Pet… Qiao Sang took a deep breath, ignoring him. She adjusted her mindset and looked at the four Pets still remaining in front of her, their information flashing through her mind.
Then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Teacher Mi Jiala is still reliable; she didn’t leave the Emperor-level Pets behind…
Then she thought of something, her gaze falling on the Witch Secret Demon.
The other party’s star array is purple, which means they can only contract six Pets. Excluding the two Emperor-level Pets taken away by Teacher Mi Jiala, the rest are all here. Among them are two Ghost-type Pets. Dream Ghost is only an intermediate Pet and doesn’t have much capability, so it seems the one that has been absorbing negative energy is this Witch Secret Demon…
