Chapter 1037: The Abyss Bites

Qiao Sang was stunned: “Getting along well with Mihei Ramu?”

“Exactly.” Zhang Taidong nodded: “Humans and Pets actually have a symbiotic relationship. For a district to develop well, it must have a powerful Pet guarding it, and the strongest Pet in our Zhidia District is Mihei Ramu.”

“Although it has always been hidden and never appeared in public, in reality, Mihei Ramu has helped resolve several natural disasters over the past ten thousand years.”

“If someone can get along well with Mihei Ramu, all the Ghost-type Pets in our Zhidia District might benefit.”

Qiao Sang tried to digest the information and asked:

“How do you know?”

“Just because we can’t directly contact Mihei Ramu doesn’t mean we don’t know.” Zhang Taidong explained: “As society has developed to this point, we can understand some things, both those that should be detected and those that shouldn’t. We actually captured footage of Mihei Ramu’s two interventions over the past ten thousand years.”

“Many teams have been to Lost Town, but no one has ever seen Mihei Ramu.”

As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Sang and said solemnly:

“You are the first.”

Qiao Sang corrected him: “I only saw its eyes.”

“You’re the only one who saw its eyes, too.” Zhang Taidong said.

Qiao Sang felt immense pressure and said:

“I feel like it’s fine as it is now. We don’t bother each other, and Mihei Ramu still helps resolve natural disasters when they occur.”

“That’s because there are many Ghost-type Pets here.” Zhang Taidong sighed and said: “We don’t actually know why Mihei Ramu intervenes, but it doesn’t intervene in every natural disaster. If someone can get along well with it, we can have a greater assurance of the safety of the public.”

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and asked:

“I heard that the people of Zhidia District like Ghost-type Pets because a Ghost-type Pet once saved everyone. Was that Ghost-type Pet Mihei Ramu?”

Zhang Taidong was startled for a moment, then smiled and said:

“Actually, things about Mihei Ramu are all legends to everyone. People like Ghost-type Pets not just because of what they’ve heard, but more because they’ve had contact with Ghost-type Pets since childhood and understand that Ghost-type Pets are also very cute.”

“I believe you must have felt the cuteness of Ghost-type Pets during your stay in Zhidia District.”

Qiao Sang thought of Baowuwu, then the Masked Puppet, and immediately looked at Xiao Xunbao, saying softly:

“I’ve known for a long time that Ghost-type Pets aren’t like what’s said online.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao grinned at her Yu Beast Master.

The Teashadow Pot, pleased, added more tea to the teacup that was mostly empty.

“How about it, do you want to stay in our Zhidia District?” Zhang Taidong asked opportunistically.

“No, thank you.” Qiao Sang said: “I still have a clear goal I want to achieve right now.”

Zhang Taidong didn’t give up and asked:

“What is it? Can’t you achieve it in our Zhidia District?”

Qiao Sang looked at him: “I want to participate in the Interstellar Cup.”

Zhang Taidong’s expression instantly froze.

Qiao Sang continued:

“If I have the chance, I’ll come back to Zhidia District to take another look.”

The development of Ghost-type Pets in Zhidia District was indeed very good. In just a few days here, she had gained a lot; her brain region reached 59%, not to mention Xiao Xunbao’s energy had greatly increased, and she also found the last evolution item. Moreover, she acquired a pile of ancient nether gold. If Xiao Xunbao were to get stuck at the Emperor level in the future, coming here again might yield new gains.

Zhang Taidong was silent for a long while, then gave a wry smile:

“I should have thought of it sooner. A Yu Beast Master like you would definitely aim for the Interstellar Cup.”

As he spoke, he had already adjusted his mindset, and his smile became brighter:

“When you come to Zhidia District next time, be sure to contact me.”

“I will.” Qiao Sang nodded.

“Also.” Zhang Taidong said seriously: “Regarding Baowuwu, thank you.”

Qiao Sang thought of the large bag of ancient nether gold and thought to herself that she should be thanking it.

…

Over the next few days, Qiao Sang took Ya Bao and the others to visit some of the famous historical sites in Zhidia District.

As time passed, the Staff from the ‘Ghost’s Fortune’ shop delivered the S-grade mingzhu flower on time.

Qiao Sang paid a hefty sum, and after receiving the mingzhu flower, she packed her belongings and rode on Ya Bao with Teacher Mi Jiala to the airport.

In the high sky.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked at the scenery below, a look of reluctance on its face.

Mi Jiala looked at Xiao Xunbao and hesitated:

“Has Ghost Ring King gained weight?”

When they were playing these past few days, Mi Jiala wasn’t always with them, so when she saw Xiao Xunbao, she had a sudden feeling that it had gotten fatter.

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao’s size and mused:

“Perhaps there’s too much energy in its body that hasn’t been completely digested.”

Mi Jiala accepted this explanation.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao heard the conversation, had already put away its sadness, looked at Mi Jiala, showed an expectant expression, and let out a cry.

Has it gotten bigger?

Qiao Sang helped translate.

Mi Jiala was silent for a moment, then said:

“Yes.”

She wasn’t lying; Ghost Ring King was indeed a size larger than before.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao immediately showed a happy expression and floated around Ya Bao.

Mi Jiala returned to the main topic and said:

“Once we reach Eagle Country, and Ghost Ring King’s energy is completely stable, I will have Yuan Elf predict the next destination. You’d best be prepared to depart at any time.”

Qiao Sang nodded:

“Understood.”

“Also, for Steel Sword Falcon’s Bite-type skills, have you decided what to practice?” Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang said:

“I’ve decided. The Evil-type intermediate skill, Bite. Steel Treasure also has Evil-type energy, so it’s easy to learn, and this skill can counter Ghost-type Pets.”

“Currently, learning any skill should be in preparation for the future.” Mi Jiala slowly said: “Intermediate skills can indeed exert great power in low-level competitions if their proficiency is high enough, but in high-level competitions, they are somewhat insufficient.”

“I actually think there’s a Bite-type skill that’s very suitable for Steel Sword Falcon.”

If it were before she officially participated in the Regional Competition, she would have thought learning the Bite skill was fine, but now, she felt that learning Bite was a bit of a waste of Qiao Sang and Steel Sword Falcon’s talent.

There are many ways to increase defensive power. Learning an intermediate skill just to consume a Dull Stone and training it to the Profound Level is truly a waste of both talent and time.

You were the one who said to have Steel Treasure learn low to intermediate Bite-type skills… Qiao Sang complained internally, but on the surface, she adopted a curious attitude and asked:

“What is it?”

“Abyssal Bite.” Mi Jiala said.

Abyssal Bite, an Evil-type advanced skill, can summon a huge Abyssal phantom to Bite the opponent.
