Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 21: eight-tube coral

“Heh, I’ve reached my stop. I’m too lazy to argue with you,” the Square-Faced Man said, turning to get off the bus.

The young man standing to his right was holding a plastic bag.

The Square-Faced Man pushed the young man aside and hurried towards the back door of the bus.

Qiao Sang noticed that his hand only touched the young man’s shoulder, not any other part of his body, yet the plastic bag rustled.

“Fire Fang Dog, use Spark on his waist,” Qiao Sang commanded directly.

The Fire Fang Dog was in a state of readiness, poised to strike.

It had been very annoyed with this human in front of it. If its Yu Beast Master hadn’t held it back, it would have already unleashed all its skills on him.

Now that it had the command, it gathered all its energy and shot it out with all its might.

The Spark, which was usually only the size of a baby’s fist, was now as large as an adult’s palm.

“Agh!!!”

A sharp scream echoed throughout the bus.

Everyone on the bus was startled, and the passenger who had just stepped onto the front platform was so scared that they stumbled back onto the platform.

“Driver, close the door!” Qiao Sang turned and shouted to the driver.

The driver saw the scene inside the bus through the rearview mirror and was stunned for a long time.

A white hydra-like creature, over two meters long with eight tentacles, appeared out of thin air inside the bus, and as it appeared, a pile of things clattered out from its eight tentacles.

“Driver, close the door!” Qiao Sang had to remind the driver again when he didn’t react.

“Oh, oh.” The driver came to his senses and fumbled to press the switch button.

Seeing the driver close the door, Qiao Sang’s attention focused back on the scene in front of her.

What is this?

Although she had been studying hard during this period, a bad student was still a bad student. Qiao Sang couldn’t identify the extraordinary creature in front of her.

Qiao Sang turned her head and asked the female student, “What is this?”

“It’s my phone!”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“And mine!”

“My Shasha Fruit!”

“The necklace I bought for my girlfriend is also there!”

“My height-increasing insoles!!!”

Everyone on the bus excitedly claimed their belongings.

The Square-Faced Man watched everything unfold with a grim expression.

Everything happened too suddenly. His Eight-Tube Coral being injured prevented him from getting off the bus immediately, and now the door was closed, and all the stolen goods had fallen out.

It was all this woman’s fault!

The Square-Faced Man looked venomously at the young girl with the Fire Fang Dog.

If it weren’t for this Fire Fang Dog and this woman, how could he have failed this time!

Now it was too late. Everyone on the bus was staring at him. If he tried to escape, he would have to damage the bus, which would definitely injure the people on board.

He knew the difference between theft and assaulting citizens. The former would at most result in a fine and a month or two in jail, while the latter could lead to several years to decades in prison.

He could only stay put now and wait for the Police Station to come and arrest him.

Qiao Sang saw the Square-Faced Man’s expression deflate. He put away the extraordinary creature whose name she still didn’t know, looking like he was ready to surrender.

“Everyone, quickly hold him down, don’t let him escape!” Qiao Sang shouted.

She threw a punch, and the Square-Faced Man instinctively took two steps back. Seeing this, everyone thought he was trying to escape and swarmed him, pinning him to the ground.

Someone, she didn’t know who, was the first to say, “You dare to hit people?!”

Everyone immediately became enraged. He stole things and dared to be so arrogant after being discovered?

Punches and kicks rained down instantly.

“I didn’t!” the Square-Faced Man roared.

Unfortunately, no one listened to him, and his voice was soon drowned out by the sound of fists and feet.

Qiao Sang contributed eighteen kicks among them, then sat aside when she got tired.

After an unknown amount of time, the crowd dispersed.

The man lay on the ground like a dead pig, bruised and swollen, with paw prints on his face from who knew where. His square face had turned into a bun-like face, no longer recognizable.

The Fire Fang Dog squeezed out of the crowd, its wet eyes blinking twice at Qiao Sang.

The girl and her beast exchanged a knowing look and both smiled.

Someone called the police, and the police car arrived quickly.

The three police officers who arrived had trouble identifying the man due to his disfigured face, but fortunately, the man was still wearing a Yu Beast Master’s badge on his chest.

The police scanned the badge to confirm the man’s identity.

“Who discovered him stealing?” one of the police officers asked.

“It was her!” The female student pulled Qiao Sang’s hand up and said.

The surrounding passengers also nodded in agreement.

The questioning police officer came to Qiao Sang and said gently, “We need you to come with us to the Police Station to give a statement.”

Qiao Sang said awkwardly, “My mom is still waiting for me to come home for dinner.”

The police officer smiled and said, “It will be quick. This is a good deed of bravery. Call your mom and tell her, she won’t blame you.”

Qiao Sang shook her head and refused, “Everyone on this bus is a witness. Call them. I really have to go home first.”

The police officer continued, “This man is Chen Jianhui, a repeat offender. We’ve had a bounty on him for some time. Since you discovered him this time, you need to collect the 50,000 alliance coins reward.”

Qiao Sang was stunned. There’s such a good thing?

She immediately said seriously, “Giving a statement is my duty. When do we leave?”

Police: “…”

Just as Qiao Sang was about to get into the police car, the female student pulled her back: “My name is Bai Yunmiao. Can I add you as a friend?”

“Of course.” Qiao Sang smiled, took out her phone, and added her.

By the time Qiao Sang got home, it was already 8:48 PM.

Fortunately, she called midway and had the police explain her whereabouts to her mother, so she returned to her mother’s gentle inquiries.

“You must be tired coming back so late. Hurry and eat, I just reheated it in the pot.”

Qiao Sang was already hungry. The five skewers of lamb she ate a few hours ago were not filling at all. She sat down at the dining table and buried her head in her food.

“Fire Fang Dog must be hungry too. Come, I specially made this nutritious dinner for you,” her mother said with a smile, bringing a plate of special energy meal to the Fire Fang Dog.

Qiao Sang felt that the food in her mouth was no longer delicious. She stopped eating and looked over worriedly.

The Fire Fang Dog didn’t notice Qiao Sang’s gaze. It barked at the energy meal and then happily started eating.

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, what she worried about didn’t happen…

By the time she finished eating, she saw that the Fire Fang Dog had already finished its energy meal and was wagging its tail, waiting for her.

Qiao Sang was a little surprised.

Was the Fire Fang Dog’s appetite bigger than usual?

Qiao Sang didn’t think too much about it. She hugged the Fire Fang Dog and went to her room, opening her computer to look up the nameless extraordinary creature from the bus.

Since she didn’t know its name, she could only search by its physical characteristics.

“Does anyone know what the white extraordinary creature with eight tentacles that can also turn invisible is?”

There are millions of extraordinary creatures in this world, and many share similar characteristics.

Qiao Sang filtered for more than ten minutes before she found the answer she was looking for.

“Eight-Tube Coral”
