Chapter 151: it has a beastmaster

“Although this lamp wick might help someone hold on for a period, as soon as the energy contained within is depleted or the wick is pulled out, that person will immediately die.”

“However, this lamp wick cannot be removed carelessly. If it’s ever taken out, it basically ruins the Ghost Absorption Lamp’s path to evolution. The damage caused to the Ghost Absorption Lamp’s foundation by removing the wick is permanent.”

Qiao Sang was startled: “Didn’t you say before that a Ghost Absorption Lamp without its lamp wick is like a person without a heart and will die immediately? And you also said the human body wouldn’t be able to withstand it.”

Liu Yao: “…”

“It will die, and the human body won’t be able to withstand it, it’s just a matter of time,” Liu Yao said, trying to save face.

Qiao Sang didn’t doubt anything and continued to ask: “Then how long can the lamp wick stay in the human body at most?”

Seeing that Qiao Sang wasn’t dwelling on that question, Liu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became relaxed: “It should be around three days.”

Three days…

The timing is off.

Based on when the Ghost Absorption Lamp went missing, it’s already been over half a month…

“What if the lamp wick stays in the human body for about half a month?” Qiao Sang thought for a moment and asked.

Liu Yao was silent for a moment before answering: “That shouldn’t be possible. The lamp wick’s energy will be depleted in three days if it’s not replenished, and once it loses its effect in the human body, the person will die on the spot.”

“Moreover, without its lamp wick, the Ghost Absorption Lamp’s internal energy won’t be replenished, and it will quickly be unable to sustain itself.”

It must be said that having a knowledgeable person nearby is truly beneficial. This phone call gave Qiao Sang a direct guess about the Ghost Absorption Lamp’s whereabouts.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Sang ordered takeout where she was.

Since the lamp wick’s energy will be depleted and it cannot stay in the human body for long, to ensure the Old Lady’s safety, the Ghost Absorption Lamp will definitely return every two days to replenish the lamp wick’s energy.

Without its lamp wick, the Ghost Absorption Lamp needs to accumulate energy to replenish the lamp wick while also maintaining its own actions, so it must be in a place where Ghost-type Pets like to gather energy.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp likes vital energy, which is nothing more than places with young people and high hormone levels.

Bars, schools, clubs, or ongoing competition venues should be where it is.

Hanggang City is so large that searching would be too troublesome. The Ghost Absorption Lamp returns every few days to replenish the lamp wick, and the Old Lady doesn’t even know. It must come late at night when everyone is asleep.

If it’s truly as she guessed, then waiting like ‘guarding a tree-stump to wait for a hare’ will suffice.

If not, the lamp wick’s depletion limit is at most three days, and the School Team assembly is in five days, leaving two days of time difference to figure something else out.

Thinking this, Qiao Sang looked up and asked with a smile: “Yabao, do you want to rest?”

“Ya.”

Yabao honestly shook its head.

Rest?

No! It has infinite energy!

“No, you want to rest,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Yabao with a smile.

“Ya…”

Yabao stared back blankly, it didn’t want to…

One minute later.

Xi Ying Community.

In the shaded area by the main entrance of Unit 5.

A majestic and extraordinary red and white Pet was lying on the ground, with a slender young girl lying on it.

Qiao Sang lay on Yabao, holding her phone and waiting for her takeout.

Yabao didn’t want to rest, but she did.

…

9 PM.

Hanggang City.

Linhu Reservoir, under the overpass.

Many people walked towards this place from all directions and then never came out again.

Zooming in, one would discover a hidden door beneath the overpass.

The door opened automatically, revealing a bustling, lively scene inside, a complete contrast to the outside world.

This was a certain underground Yu Beast black market arena.

The entire venue was filled with the smell of sweat, tobacco, and hormones.

“Poison Scorpion!”

“Ghost Absorption Lamp!”

“Ghost Absorption Lamp!”

The surrounding audience shouted the names of the two Pets, with the vast majority shouting for Ghost Absorption Lamp.

In the arena.

The entirely purple Poison Scorpion lay motionless on the ground.

The referee came to its side and began the countdown.

“1.”

“2…”

Just then, the Poison Scorpion, whose head was still, swung its long tail, and several poisonous needles shot out of thin air, their silver tips gleaming sharply.

The audience supporting Ghost Absorption Lamp’s faces changed drastically, never expecting such a sneak attack at this point!

The attack speed of these poisonous needles was too fast, and the Ghost Absorption Lamp was caught off guard, with several poisonous needles entering its body.

“Ghost Absorption Lamp! Finish it!” The man with a scar on his face, standing at the command post, roared.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp’s vision was blurry, and the voices ringing in its ears felt as if they were drifting from a very distant place.

It gasped for breath, wanting to activate its lamp wick, but only then did it realize it no longer had a lamp wick.

“Ghost Absorption Lamp, what are you standing there for? Finish it!” The scarred man shouted.

“Ghost Absorption…”

The Ghost Absorption Lamp endured the intense pain in its body, slowly raised its claw, condensed a Shadow Ball, and threw it towards the blurry figure on the ground.

…

“What was wrong with you at the end, your reaction was so slow,” the scarred man complained backstage after the match.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp looked at him expressionlessly.

The man’s heart trembled, and he changed the subject: “Good thing we won in the end, otherwise we would have wasted our time this time.”

The Ghost Absorption Lamp did not speak.

“Here, this is your reward.” The man was already used to the Ghost Absorption Lamp ignoring him, and he tossed a box over to it.

The box landed on the ground in front of the Ghost Absorption Lamp.

The man was startled: “Hey, I didn’t do it on purpose, you just didn’t catch it!”

The Ghost Absorption Lamp’s ears were ringing, it couldn’t hear what this person was saying, it only knew that it couldn’t collapse now.

“We’ve been working together for so many days, how come you haven’t changed at all? And don’t you see, if it weren’t for me, how would you have gotten in to fight?” The man grumbled as he picked up the box from the ground and handed it to the Ghost Absorption Lamp.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp’s vision was blurry. It tried to focus, and for a moment, it finally saw the object in front of it clearly.

It breathed a sigh of relief; this fight wasn’t in vain.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp tried to reach out with its paw to take it, but when it moved, it found it had no strength.

“Ghost Absorption.”

The Ghost Absorption Lamp called out with a cold face.

The man was startled, then turned to the Long-tailed Snake beside him and asked: “What did it say?”

“Tail-tail.”

The Long-tailed Snake translated.

After hearing the Long-tailed Snake’s words, the man’s mouth twitched. He opened the box, took out the contents, and stuffed them into the Ghost Absorption Lamp’s mouth.

“You’re really a master,” the man complained as he stuffed the items.

After swallowing the items, the Ghost Absorption Lamp finally regained some strength, and its senses recovered a bit. It used its few remaining energies to wrap the items inside its body, not wanting them to melt into its system.

“Are you coming tomorrow?” the man asked.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp nodded.

Seeing that the Ghost Absorption Lamp was responding to him, the man grinned: “You know, we’ve known each other for so long, and you still haven’t told me where you’re from. You should know that wild Pets are very dangerous here. If you hadn’t met me, you would have been captured a long time ago.”

“I think we get along well. Why don’t you just wait until my yu beast codex has the next page and contract with me?”

The Ghost Absorption Lamp ignored him, turned, and floated towards the door.

It was not a wild Pet; it had a Yu Beast Master.
