Chapter 164: Where did the brain go?

Qiao Sang felt she was being wronged.

If she hadn’t initially analyzed the situation and thought there was only one Baby Shell awake in the waterway, she wouldn’t have let Little Treasure Hunting Ghost make so many Taunt actions.

But there was no point in saying more; since it had already happened, she had to think about how to solve it.

Reasoning was out of the question; looking at the Baby Shell and Clone Demon Puppet relentlessly pursuing them from behind, they must have been driven mad. If they were caught, skills would likely be unleashed immediately.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but sigh, “How can such a bad temper be an NPC? How can it serve the public?”

It was just wiggling its butt, making a face, spitting—was it really that big of a deal?

Qiao Sang adjusted her breathing as she ran, her mind contemplating the possibility of Little Treasure Hunting Ghost defeating them.

The Baby Shell was not a big problem; it was only a Beginner Pet.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had dual attributes of Ghost-type and Superpower System, stronger than it in both speed and attack.

If it was 1v1, it wouldn’t be afraid, but there was also a Mid-level Pet, Clone Demon Puppet, beside it.

Previously, the reason Ya Bao could defeat a Mid-level Pet at the Fire Fang Dog stage was because it had prior combat experience, and before the match, she had conducted tactical analysis based on the opponent’s Pet.

But now it was different.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had never undergone proper combat training.

The reason it could subdue Ghost Absorption Lamp half a day ago was because Ghost Absorption Lamp itself had lost its wick and had no energy to move, allowing Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to strike true with one hit.

Later, the Hypnosis Ghost Absorption Lamp used in such a weakened state still made Little Treasure Hunting Ghost sleep for half a day.

If this were in a competition, the referee would have already declared it lost.

Now, if they fought, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost would not only have to face Baby Shell but also Clone Demon Puppet, and she had not researched either of these Pets beforehand.

If forced to calculate, the chance of winning was only 10%.

This 10% chance of winning was derived from Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s Teleportation skill, relying on evasion to potentially deplete their energy.

“What do we do now? I’m almost out of breath!” Fang Sisi asked with a trembling voice.

“Where is the entrance to the third level’s secret room?” Qiao Sang thought for a moment and asked.

If they could run to the secret room on the third level and close the passage connecting the second level’s secret room, they might be able to escape.

“If there are no problems with the script for the second level, a Vengeful Ghost Ball will suddenly appear in the sewer in about twenty minutes. It’s the boss of the second level, and only by defeating it can we open the door to the third level,” Fang Sisi said, panting.

Vengeful Ghost Ball, Mid-level Pet…

Qiao Sang dismissed this plan in just 0.001 seconds.

Not to mention how to defeat the Vengeful Ghost Ball, if they encountered it, it would definitely not be resolved quickly, leading to a fierce battle.

With the Vengeful Ghost Ball in front and the Baby Shell and Clone Demon Puppet behind, encircled from both sides, they wouldn’t even know how they fell…

After running a few more steps, Fang Sisi said weakly, “I’m almost done for…”

“Why are you so weak?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.

Due to her recent intensive training, which included daily running at school, her stamina had significantly improved. Qiao Sang felt she could maintain her current speed for another half an hour.

Fang Sisi shed tears in the wind again. Damn it, who caused all this!

Qiao Sang didn’t ponder for too long.

Compared to being tormented by three Pets, fighting two Pets was naturally safer.

Pets working in the city all had Yu Beast Masters, and even if they were angry, they shouldn’t attack humans.

Qiao Sang analyzed the situation and felt that this fight could be tried; at worst, she could just recall Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang suddenly stopped, turned her head, and in Fang Sisi’s stunned expression, shouted loudly, “Little Treasure Hunting Ghost! Prepare for battle!”

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was startled, then excitedly turned its head.

Is it finally time to fight!

Fang Sisi was panting heavily beside her. She looked at the scene before her, came back to her senses, swallowed, moistened her dry throat, and quietly retreated to the side to lower her presence.

It had to be said that Qiao Sang was truly brave, but Fang Sisi didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. She could take advantage of this to recover her stamina and then continue running…

Unlike a competition, there were no rules or turns; it all relied on the Pet’s combat instincts.

Just as Little Treasure Hunting Ghost stopped and turned its head, a hand still stained with red liquid suddenly accelerated and lunged directly at it.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost remained motionless, as if scared silly.

But just as the hand was about to touch it, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost vanished into thin air and reappeared on the other side.

The hand missed, somewhat bewildered, then turned its head towards Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost grinned, and provocatively raised its middle finger at it.

The hand immediately trembled.

Qiao Sang was silent on the side. She swore she had never taught Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to do that!

Not just the hand, but the other severed limbs also began to tremble, moving frantically towards Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s current position.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost used Teleportation again to dodge.

The limbs exerted too much force, crashing into each other and falling down, but they quickly got back up, completely unfazed, and accurately lunged at Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, who was over five meters away, once more.

At the same time, Baby Shell also sprayed Water Gun at Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

Qiao Sang fell into thought, observing the situation before her. She had never researched Clone Demon Puppet, only knowing it was a Ghost-type Pet that could split its body to act.

As it currently appeared, Clone Demon Puppet’s limbs didn’t need to identify the opponent’s position to immediately know where the opponent was.

But why?

Qiao Sang frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and quickly realized a problem.

Where was Clone Demon Puppet’s head?

In the sewer.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost constantly used Teleportation to dodge attacks. Just after dodging the limbs’ pounce, another Water Gun came from the side. It became more and more excited the more it dodged, not even counterattacking, showing a tendency to get carried away.

Just then, Qiao Sang spoke, “Deal with Baby Shell first.”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost tilted its head upon hearing the command.

Baby Shell? Who is Baby Shell?

“It’s that Water-type Pet on the ground!” Qiao Sang quickly added when she saw Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s stunned expression.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost understood.

It concealed its form, disappearing from its original spot again. The limbs lunged at empty air, leaving only red liquid splashing everywhere.

The next second, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost suddenly appeared in front of the Baby Shell, which was still looking around, and fiercely licked its head, which was exposed from its shell, with its tongue.

“Ying…”

Baby Shell immediately trembled all over.

Although this Tongue Lick did not cause paralysis, having its entire head licked by a tongue covered in saliva still nearly broke Baby Shell’s spirit.

Just as its eyes refocused, what it saw was a pair of purple eyes.

“Ying…”

Baby Shell’s eyelids uncontrollably wanted to close.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost finished using Hypnosis, grinned, and teleported five meters away again.

Suddenly, Clone Demon Puppet’s limbs appeared where Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had been. If it hadn’t teleported just now, these limbs would have all struck Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s body.

But Little Treasure Hunting Ghost dodged.

So the limbs’ target became the Baby Shell, which had just been close to Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

“Ying…”

Baby Shell suffered continuous heavy blows, closed its eyes, and fell down.

After dealing with Baby Shell, Qiao Sang did not relax.

Baby Shell was a Water-type Beginner Pet, and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was a Pet with two rare attributes, Ghost-type and Superpower System. An instant kill was a normal phenomenon.

The problem was Clone Demon Puppet.
