Chapter 1170: Fire Crater (2 in 1)

Chapter 1165: Fire Meteorite Pit (Two-in-One)

Ice Song Fox, a General-level Ice-type Pet, loves to sing, and its songs are as loud and pleasant as a soprano’s; hearing the Ice Song Fox’s song on a hot summer day can even make one forget some of the heat… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet that had suddenly grown larger not far away, and information about it surfaced in her mind.

Then, she thought of something, pulled out her phone, and took a “click” photo of it.

“Qingqing?”

Xiao Xunbao saw this and curiously called out.

Why take a picture of it? Is it because it thinks it looks good?

As it spoke, it looked at the Ice Song Fox not far away with a scrutinizing gaze.

It had been with its Yu Beast Master for so long, and it had never seen its Yu Beast Master take many pictures of itself.

“Looking good is one aspect,” Qiao Sang put away her phone and smiled, “I saw so many people following it, so I thought this Ice Song Fox might be a celebrity, so I just took a picture.”

As soon as she said this, the Ice Song Fox not far away turned its head and looked over, showing an expression of “You have some taste.”

Then, its steps became even more arrogant.

Xiao Xunbao watched its Yu Beast Master flirting with other Pets from the side, but it wasn’t as annoyed as usual.

Now that it had formed a contract, it no longer felt insecure like before.

“It’s not necessarily a celebrity Pet,” Mi Jiala said calmly, “On Yan Tian Star, the most popular Pets are not Dragon-type and Fairy-type, or those rare Pets, but Ice-type and Water-type, especially in places like Muzhou where the weather is particularly hot and muggy.

Ice-type and Water-type Pets usually have a group of people and Pets following them when they go out.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s first thought was: It’s a good thing Xiao Xunbao usually stays in the backpack, otherwise, with its level and charm, it would cause traffic jams.

Her second thought was: So this Ice Song Fox isn’t a celebrity…

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao poked the backpack and called out, indicating that if Xiao Xunbao came out, many humans would like it.

Xiao Xunbao ignored it.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao, feeling uninteresting, silently floated back to the side.

“Ya Ya?”

Xiao Xunbao called out, asking if their Fire-type was unpopular.

Qiao Sang glanced at it, showing an expression of “What do you think?”

“Ya Ya…”

Xiao Xunbao understood its Yu Beast Master’s meaning and sighed.

The humans and Pets here are too strange; they don’t like powerful beings but prefer them based on their attributes, and it doesn’t feel like the weather here is that hot.

“Fire-type isn’t unpopular, but powerful Fire-type Pets are still popular,” Qiao Sang said, “Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many battle competitions.”

“Ya Ya!”

Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of “I knew it,” and felt relieved.

While Qiao Sang and Xiao Xunbao were talking, Mi Jiala had already finished the positioning and placed her phone in front of Pen Jiami, saying:

“Go here.”

“Pen Pen.”

Pen Jiami called out, its eyes glowing blue.

The next second, the two people and a group of Pets disappeared from their original spot.

…

Ice Sea Hotel.

Qiao Sang looked at the hotel name in front of her and hesitated, saying:

“Are we staying in a hotel this time?”

After coming to Yan Tian Star, they either stayed in villas or homestays; compared to that, hotel rooms were too small.

Mi Jiala hummed, “This is the coolest hotel in Muzhou; Fresh Fresh Grass and the others will be more comfortable staying here.”

Outside, she was obviously much more cautious and didn’t call out Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s name.

With Xiao Xunbao around, it would be cool no matter where they stayed… Qiao Sang didn’t say anything more and followed Teacher Mi Jiala into the hotel.

As soon as they entered, the surrounding temperature plummeted.

“How is it? Isn’t it very cool?” Mi Jiala asked.

Isn’t this how it feels when the air conditioner is on… Qiao Sang inwardly complained, then said, “It’s quite cool.”

Mi Jiala smiled, “The cold air here is all supplied by Ice-type Pets.

Some bacteria in air conditioners might spread through the airflow, but cold air released by Ice-type Pets won’t.”

Qiao Sang had heard that some hotels, to appear more high-end for publicity, directly used Ice-type Pets as air conditioners, but didn’t that only require the Ice-type Pet to be in the central control room and for equipment to transmit the cold air?

Then she thought of something and scanned the surroundings of the hotel lobby.

Soon, she saw a white bear-like Pet, about three meters tall, sitting on a sofa in the corner, drinking energy recovery liquid while visibly emitting cold air.

Qiao Sang was stunned, and recalling what Teacher Mi Jiala had said earlier, she couldn’t help but show a look of surprise:

“This hotel doesn’t have an Ice-type Pet in every room, does it?”

“No,” Mi Jiala said.

I knew it, how could there be such a luxurious hotel… Qiao Sang felt inexplicably relieved.

“However, one of the features of this hotel is that it has such rooms,” Mi Jiala said unhurriedly, “And I booked such a room.”

…Qiao Sang said, “Isn’t Xiao Xunbao here?”

“Ice Emperor Ram usually needs to go to the training ground to train, so what will Fresh Fresh Grass and the others do when they stay in the room?” Mi Jiala retorted.

Thank you for remembering to add “and the others” when you mentioned “Fresh Fresh Grass”… Qiao Sang subtly flattered her:

“Teacher’s consideration is truly thorough.”

After checking in, led by a Staff member, the two people and a group of Pets went up to the top-floor presidential suite.

Opening the door and entering the suite, the ceiling height and layout were like a villa, very spacious and luxurious.

Sure enough, with Colored Flower Bud Shalala around, I couldn’t possibly live poorly… Qiao Sang inwardly sighed.

“Number Three,” the Staff member called out.

A white, jellyfish-like Pet, about three meters in size, walked out from inside.

“This is Number Three, exclusively for your service.

You can tell it how low you want the room temperature to be, and it will create the most comfortable temperature for you,” the Staff member said.

“Yuan Yuan,” Number Three nodded.

Yuan Ice Jellyfish, a High-level Pet with both Ice and Water-type attributes, often likes to wander in shallow seas.

Compared to other High-level Pets, its hearing has obvious defects; in a competition, the Yu Beast Master often needs to shout for it to hear commands… Qiao Sang’s mind recalled the information about the Pet in front of her, and she said:

“Then I’ll trouble you.”

“Yuan Yuan?” Yuan Ice Jellyfish called out, asking what temperature to set now.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao helped translate.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “24 degrees, I guess.”

“Yuan Yuan.”

Yuan Ice Jellyfish nodded, then went to the corner and began to emit cold air.

Although there’s no risk of bacterial infection compared to an air conditioner, the drawback is also very obvious: no privacy whatsoever… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

At this moment, the Staff member still in the suite said:

“If you don’t like Number Three to be in your sight, you can let it go into the inner room.

It can still serve you from inside, and if you want to adjust the temperature, you can directly press the virtual screen by the bedside and operate it there, without needing to go specifically to the room where Number Three is.”

Goodness, with impaired hearing, once the door is closed, it can neither see nor hear; they specifically found a Yuan Ice Jellyfish to be an “air conditioner,” didn’t they… Qiao Sang inwardly sighed.

Before she could speak, the Staff member continued:

“If you need anything, you can call room service or inform Number Three.”

Qiao Sang nodded and said:

“I understand.”

“Then I’ll be leaving now, I wish you a pleasant stay.” The Staff member finished speaking, turned and left the room, thoughtfully closing the door.

Colored Flower Bud Shalala floated next to Yuan Ice Jellyfish, leaning in to look curiously.

Yuan Ice Jellyfish looked at the Fresh Fresh Grass in front of it, and a feeling of fondness inexplicably arose in its heart.

It raised a white tentacle about one centimeter above Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s head.

Then, a glistening drop of water dripped from the tip of its tentacle.

“Xia Xia~”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala couldn’t help but narrow its eyes, showing a comfortable expression.

“Yuan Yuan.”

Yuan Ice Jellyfish was startled at first, then called out admiringly, indicating, “You’re amazing, you can even speak other species’ languages.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala realized something, its body stiffened, and it showed an awkward smile, silently floating back to Qiao Sang’s side.

Mi Jiala glanced at the layout of the suite and said:

“I’ll stay in the inner room, you take Fresh Fresh Grass and the others to the biggest room.”

“Okay.” Qiao Sang didn’t act coy with Teacher Mi Jiala either.

She had many Pets, and they usually stayed outside.

Most importantly, this hotel was clearly specially prepared for Colored Flower Bud Shalala, so naturally, they should stay in the best room.

Qiao Sang came to the room, took off her shoes, half-leaned on the bed, and searched for news related to the fire meteor shower that fell in Muzhou a hundred years ago.

Xiao Xunbao immediately took off the ring, skillfully pulling out various toiletries and daily necessities, as well as some food, from inside.

“Ice Emperor.”

Xiao Xunbao called out from the side.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao responded, then took off another ring and rummaged inside.

Before long, it pulled out a spherical box and handed it to Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao took it, opened it, revealing crystals emitting cold air.

These were all identified ice wane crystal and ice soul, already stored in boxes according to different levels and quantities.

One box a day, no worries about eating too much.

Xiao Xunbao threw the crystal into its mouth, and with a “crunch,” bit it into pieces.

Xiao Xunbao then took off another ring and pulled out a water tank and sacred purified water from it.

It poured the sacred purified water into the water tank, and finally, its eyes glowed blue, thoughtfully controlling the water tank to be by the floor-to-ceiling window where there was no sun and the view outside was good.

Clearly destined to be a subordinate, yet it still likes to act like the boss… Xiao Xunbao shook its head, watching Xiao Xunbao busy himself.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Suddenly, Xiao Xunbao called out.

Fifth brother, help me take these things into the bathroom.

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

Xiao Xunbao remembered that it had just called Xiao Xunbao “boss” yesterday, so it endured, but didn’t act.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao looked at Xiao Xunbao, showing a puzzled expression.

“Qingqing…”

Xiao Xunbao floated onto the bed, lay down, and called out in a sleepy tone, indicating that it was very tired now and wanted to sleep.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao called out thoughtfully.

Then you go to sleep.

As it spoke, it took the toiletries and floated towards the bathroom.

Xiao Xunbao opened one eye, looked at Xiao Xunbao’s busy back, feeling a bit smug, yet inexplicably a little soft-hearted.

After pondering for a moment, it finally got up, took the remaining toiletries, and floated towards the bathroom.

Qiao Sang half-leaned on the bed, checking the news, and had gained some understanding of the aftermath of the fire meteor shower in Muzhou a hundred years ago.

The fire meteor shower did not fall across the entire Muzhou, but specifically in an area originally called the Shangyue District.

After the drought, the Shangyue District was rebuilt.

Because one location experienced significant topographical changes and the ground remained hot year-round, it was unsuitable for reconstruction.

That area was specifically cordoned off and transformed into a nature reserve, named “Muzhou Fire Meteorite Pit.”

Qiao Sang navigated, finding it to be thirty-two kilometers away from the hotel.

Not bad, not too far, just a Space Movement for Xiao Xunbao…

Qiao Sang put down her phone, her thoughts drifting uncontrollably.

The ground is constantly hot; could it be that there are still sun crystal remnants underground…

Although the possibility is small, it’s not entirely impossible.

However, that place has already become a nature reserve, so even if there are still sun crystal underground, it’s not easy to go down and investigate casually.

Unless there’s a Pet that can burrow underground without damaging the surface…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but look at Xiao Xunbao, who had just come out of the bathroom.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao noticed its Yu Beast Master’s gaze, looked over, and showed an expression of “What’s wrong?”

Qiao Sang slowly smiled.

…

7:30 PM.

Muzhou Fire Meteorite Pit ticket office.

Many people and Pets were queuing to enter.

During the day, Muzhou’s weather is hot, so few people and Pets come out to play.

Most people come out at night, and the closing times for various attractions are correspondingly delayed.

After buying tickets and entering the attraction, an even stronger wave of heat than outside instantly assailed them.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao called out aggrievedly to the backpack.

Xiao Xunbao did not respond, but the next second, cold air spread out from the backpack, and the temperature plummeted.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao called out gratefully to the backpack.

“This is where the fire meteor shower landed back then,” Mi Jiala said in a deep voice, looking at the thousands of large, pitted craters, each about a hundred meters deep, in front of her.

The thousands of craters, large and small, were all oval and uneven in shape, densely clustered in the same area, creating a very visually impactful scene.

This is where the fire meteor shower landed a hundred years ago… and this is only a small part of it; how terrifying would it have been if it covered the entire Shangyue District… Qiao Sang took a deep breath, calmed her shock, and asked:

“Do you think there might still be sun crystal here?”

Answering her was a rather deep voice from beside her:

“Haha, don’t even think about it, the sun crystal is definitely gone.

Such precious things would have been dug out long ago.”

Qiao Sang turned her head and realized that a group of people and Pets had gathered around her at some point.

Even though there was plenty of open space around, everyone still insisted on crowding over here.

Seeing Qiao Sang turn to look at them, the people and Pets all showed friendly smiles, as if they were old acquaintances.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then took a step to the left; everyone followed to the left.

She took a step forward; everyone followed forward again.

At this moment, the uncle who had just spoken leaned over with a smile and asked:

“Little girl, what kind of tool are you using? It’s so cool.”

Qiao Sang: “…”
