Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1144: Missing pet
“I can’t find it…” Qiao Sang frowned and asked, “What’s the highest level of Pet that has gone missing?”
The young man answered without much thought, “Currently, the highest level known is General-level.”
General-level… Qiao Sang felt inexplicably relieved upon hearing this.
It sounded like an unknown danger, but this danger should be manageable.
Mi Jiala scrutinized the young man in front of her and calmly said, “You seem to know a lot about this matter.”
The young man was silent for a few seconds, then said with dimmed eyes, “One of the missing Cool Frogs was my Pet. It went out to help pick Ice Fruits for a guest, but it never returned.”
Cool Frog, the evolved form of Cold Heart Frog. In this form, it becomes even more ruthless and cool.
However, because Ice Pets are scarce on Yan Tian Star, and Cool Frog, besides being ruthless and cool, has a rather high appearance among frog-type Pets and its combat power is not bad among Pets of the same rank, there are still many Yu Beast Masters who only value strength willing to form a contract with it.
No wonder this boss seemed to be in a bad mood; it turned out his Pet was missing. Poor guy… Qiao Sang comforted him:
“My condolences.”
The young man said in a deep voice, “I can actually sense that it hasn’t had an accident yet; I just can’t sense its specific location.”
This meant there was no need for condolences yet; his Cool Frog was still alive.
If a Pet were to die, the Yu Beast Master’s brain region would be damaged. Qiao Sang understood that this was not the other party’s unwillingness to accept reality, so she said:
“When we go to Bingnan Island, if we see your Cool Frog, we’ll bring it back for you.”
After a pause, she asked:
“What are the characteristics of your Cool Frog?”
The young man was stunned: “Are you still going to Bingnan Island?”
After speaking, he instinctively replied, “My Cool Frog has a blue Ice crystal hanging around its neck.”
“Understood.” Qiao Sang said, “I’ll keep an eye out for a Cool Frog with an Ice crystal around its neck.”
With that, she hugged Colored Flower Bud Shalala and prepared to walk towards the suite.
The young man was first stunned, then anxiously shouted, “Wait!”
Qiao Sang stopped and turned to look at him.
The young man asked with a complex expression, “Are you really going?”
Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala did not speak, answering directly with their expressions.
Seeing this, the young man understood that these two guests were determined to go. He took a deep breath, showing a serious expression, and said:
“Actually, this matter might be related to the Emperor-level Pet Slag Ice Spirit.”
Qiao Sang was stunned; she hadn’t expected this matter to involve Slag Ice Spirit.
The young man continued:
“I have a relative who works in the police station, and he secretly revealed it to me. The police station had already formed a special investigation team to go to Bingnan Island, but after some time, the investigators returned for a meeting, then disbanded the team and never spoke about the matter again. This situation has happened a few times before, and it was said to be related to Slag Ice Spirit, so he suspects that this Pet disappearance is also caused by Slag Ice Spirit.”
As he said this, he glanced at Dragon King and continued:
“I know your strength should be very strong, but if the opponent is really Slag Ice Spirit, no matter how strong you are, it’s useless. I suggest you seriously consider it before deciding whether or not to go to Bingnan Island.”
Mi Jiala’s expression was calm, showing no change.
Qiao Sang’s face was solemn, and she asked, “Didn’t they say that Slag Ice Spirit stays on Slag Ice Island all year round and usually doesn’t come out?”
When her senior mentioned Slag Ice Spirit yesterday, she had specifically checked related information.
It was said that Slag Ice Spirit stays on Slag Ice Island all year round, and the island’s name was specifically named after its species, making it its territory. As long as one did not step onto Slag Ice Island, tourists would be safe and sound.
The young man said with a bitter smile, “Slag Ice Spirit actually comes out occasionally. You probably all saw the news online. If news were released online saying that Slag Ice Spirit would wander around Wanbing Island, where would any tourists be willing to come here?”
This meant the news was blocked and not revealed.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, “I understand. Thank you for the information.”
With Teacher Mi Jiala here, the danger of Slag Ice Spirit was still within a controllable range.
The young man couldn’t help but ask again, “So, you still decide to go to Bingnan Island?”
As he said this, his eyes subtly held a hint of expectation.
On one hand, he felt Bingnan Island was too dangerous; on the other hand, he held a glimmer of hope that the other party might be able to bring back the Cool Frog.
After all, he had almost never seen the other party’s Pets, which clearly indicated they were extremely rare breeds, and the only Pet he recognized was the Emperor-level Pet Moda Flying Dragon.
Colored Flower Bud Shalala quietly stayed in Qiao Sang’s arms, listening to the conversation, completely unaware that it had been ignored.
“We’re going to Bingnan Island tomorrow.” Qiao Sang looked at him and said seriously, “I can’t guarantee that I can definitely find the Cool Frog and bring it back, but if I see it, I will definitely try my best to bring it back.”
The young man was stunned, momentarily not knowing what to say.
He also didn’t know if the other party wasn’t afraid of Slag Ice Spirit, or simply didn’t believe his words.
At the same time, a surge of emotion rose in his heart.
Before he could speak, Qiao Sang hugged Colored Flower Bud Shalala and turned to leave.
On the way to the room.
“Teacher, if we really encounter Slag Ice Spirit, are you confident?” Qiao Sang asked.
What do you think… Mi Jiala returned a look.
Qiao Sang immediately said with a serious expression, “I knew that a mere Slag Ice Spirit is no problem for you at all!”
Mi Jiala looked at her and said, “This is Slag Ice Spirit’s territory, and it might have many Ice Pets under its command. Even with me there, don’t be careless when you get there.”
“Understood.” Qiao Sang said in a serious tone.
She would stay by the strong one’s side every step of the way.
Steel Treasure silently glanced at its Yu Beast Master.
…
Suite.
Qiao Sang sat on the sofa, looking at Slag Ice Spirit’s information for a long time, then thought of something and turned to look at Colored Flower Bud Shalala in the flower pot next to her, asking:
“Do you know Slag Ice Spirit?”
If Colored Flower Bud Shalala knew Slag Ice Spirit, then even if they really encountered it, Slag Ice Spirit might not make things difficult for them out of respect for Colored Flower Bud Shalala.
“Shalala.”
Colored Flower Bud Shalala heard the sound, popped its head out, thought for a moment, and shook its head.
Qiao Sang felt a little disappointed upon hearing this, but then thought it made sense. After all, looking at the rare Pet gathering back then, she knew that Colored Flower Bud Shalala only knew some ultra-rare Pets.
Although Slag Ice Spirit was rare, compared to Jiji and the others, it was still somewhat lacking.
“Xiao Xunbao?”
Colored Flower Bud Shalala looked at the human in front of it, who was deep in thought, and called out, indicating that if she needed it, it could go and get to know Slag Ice Spirit.
“Xiao Xunbao~” Xiao Xunbao helped translate.
Qiao Sang felt both touched and a little amused when she heard this: “No need, I was just asking casually.”
“Shalala.”
Colored Flower Bud Shalala responded, closed its eyes, and continued to retract its head into the flower pot. (End of Chapter)
