Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 670: There are many reasons for latent resentment
“Where did you get that outfit?” Qiao Sang asked with a smile on her face, muttering to herself, “Goodness, if I hadn’t been sharp-eyed, I would have fallen for it…”
She roughly understood the rules of the competition and knew that interference or combat with opponents was allowed, but she didn’t expect the first opponent she encountered to pull this trick on her right away.
Thankfully, she had some contact backstage earlier, otherwise, with this method, she might have really changed locations.
“I had it ready before the competition,” the woman said, putting her mask back on and lowering her voice, then said in an approving tone, “I didn’t expect you, participating in this type of competition for the first time, to know to come to a place like this.”
“A hospital shouldn’t be hard to think of, right?” Qiao Sang said modestly.
“A hospital isn’t hard to think of, but most people go to the hospital closest to Auguswood Tournament Arena,” the woman said. After she finished speaking, the clothing on her shoulder seemed to be poked by something, indenting downwards.
Although No. 113 was an opponent, her age and the size of her Pet clearly posed no threat, and the woman wasn’t planning to waste any more time on No. 113. She paused, then said, “I won’t chat with you anymore. I hope you achieve a good result.”
With that, she turned and left.
Qiao Sang watched her retreating figure for a while, then said, “Let’s go too.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao cried out, then continued to sniff around with her nose.
For the next twenty minutes, after successfully absorbing the negative emotional energy of dozens of medical staff, Xiao Xunbao suddenly seemed to smell something extraordinary. Her eyes lit up, and she floated purposefully in a certain direction.
Qiao Sang followed Xiao Xunbao to the basement level, arriving at an area where few people walked.
The surrounding air was a bit chilly.
As she breathed, a damp, decaying smell wafted by.
Qiao Sang looked around and saw no one, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.
She seemed to remember reading in some book that hospital morgues were generally built in the basement or near underground parking lots…
No way… Qiao Sang was panicking internally, but on the surface, she said calmly, “Xiao Xunbao, how about we change places? There doesn’t seem to be anyone here.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao pointed to the corridor ahead, but there was negative energy there.
“Thump-thump, thump-thump…” Just as Qiao Sang was about to say something more, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the darkness.
Qiao Sang shivered and abruptly turned to look at the source of the sound.
…
At the same time.
Auguswood Tournament Arena.
Looking at the live broadcast screen with a corridor as the background, the audience began to discuss amongst themselves.
“This Ghost-type Pet’s perception is so sensitive! She can actually smell something from the basement while being on the third floor of the hospital.”
“The scene I most want to see is here! The morgue!”
“What’s so good about the morgue? Even if there really are ghosts, only Ghost-type Pets can see them.”
“Stop talking, I’m a little scared…”
“Me too…”
“Negative energy doesn’t necessarily refer to emotional energy produced by living people. The resentment produced after death is also a type of negative energy. The fact that this Ghost-type Pet can sense negative energy here only means that some of the people lying inside died unnatural deaths, which is very normal. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“There seem to be footsteps. Could it be someone from the hospital?”
“If you look at the screen in the upper right corner, you’ll know that the person coming is No. 98.”
…
Ford Bitt Comprehensive Hospital.
Basement level.
“It’s you again?” Qiao Sang silently breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who it was.
Surprise flashed in the woman’s eyes, then she seemed to realize something and turned her head to look at Xiao Xunbao: “Your Ghost-type Pet’s energy perception is quite sensitive.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao, hearing herself praised, curved her lips, indicating it was no big deal.
It seems there really is negative energy here… Qiao Sang couldn’t resist and subtly glanced at the end of the corridor.
The woman said, “Since we’ve both found the morgue, let’s see who absorbs more energy.”
After speaking, she walked inside.
It really is the morgue… Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched. She took a deep breath and nodded at Xiao Xunbao.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao instantly understood her Yu Beast Master’s meaning.
Her eyes glowed blue.
The next second, she vanished from her original spot.
Having Space Movement is just great… Qiao Sang quickly caught up to No. 98 and called out, “Wait for me!”
The woman stopped at the morgue entrance, turned her head, and saw that the small Ghost-type Pet had disappeared. She asked, “Where’s your Ghost-type Pet?”
Of course, she’s already gone inside to absorb negative energy… Qiao Sang said calmly, “She’s invisible.”
The woman didn’t doubt her and smiled, “Then I’ll go in first.”
As soon as her words fell, a Pet appeared, seemingly made of smoky gray shadow, with a smoking collar around its neck.
It said nothing, its body twisted, then it dispersed and expanded like gray smoke, enveloping the woman.
Immediately after, it passed through the morgue door without any obstruction.
Within a few seconds, Qiao Sang heard the woman inside curse in English.
It seems Xiao Xunbao has already absorbed a lot of negative energy… Just as she was thinking, a loud “bang” echoed, and the morgue door was suddenly broken open by some force.
The woman was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall at the end of the corridor, causing the wall to shake violently.
What the hell?! What was that?! Qiao Sang was a bit bewildered by the sudden commotion.
The woman endured the pain and roared, “Run! There’s a wild Undergrudge Yodo inside!”
Undergrudge Yodo? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.
Just then, the corridor lights went out, and a chilling aura suddenly descended.
She suddenly felt a wave of wind-like波动袭 towards her.
But in the next second, Qiao Sang’s vision went black. When the light returned, she found herself outside the corridor.
It was Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement… Qiao Sang seemed to realize something and turned her head, sure enough, seeing Xiao Xunbao.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao stared seriously at the entrance of the corridor.
Qiao Sang followed her gaze.
She saw No. 98 leaning weakly against the wall, looking at her with a shocked expression.
“Save her!” Qiao Sang said decisively.
Although she didn’t know the information about Undergrudge Yodo, the fact that it would attack humans alone was enough to confirm that it was definitely a dangerous Pet!
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao cried out, her eyes glowing blue.
Immediately after, the woman appeared next to Qiao Sang.
The woman sat on the ground, her mouth slightly agape, her expression frozen, completely bewildered.
Space Movement?
Was it Space Movement?
Who could tell her why a Ghost-type Pet would possess a high-level Superpower System skill?!
Then she remembered something, snapped back to reality, and roared, “Let’s go quickly!”
At this moment, a Xiao Nvhai with purple lips, an unbelievably pale face, wearing a blood-stained white dress, and looking only about five years old, appeared at the entrance of the corridor, staring at them expressionlessly.
Qiao Sang’s body suddenly stiffened, and she asked with difficulty, “This… is Undergrudge Yodo?”
“Yes.” The woman struggled to stand up. She was about to explain the situation that had just occurred.
Just then, a slightly mischievous mechanical voice sounded: “Don’t rush, let me see… Undergrudge Yodo, a Ghost-type General-level Pet, currently in a possessed state. It is said to be able to see ghosts and help the deceased fulfill their wishes, at the cost of their souls. The more resentful the soul, the more it likes it, but it will fulfill the deceased’s wish before absorbing them, so it’s considered a relatively principled Pet… Oh my, although its strength is good, Master, I believe it’s definitely not your opponent! Go!”
The woman: “…”
Qiao Sang: “…”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao stared intently at the Xiao Nvhai in front, silently putting away her Pet Identifier.
At the same time.
Auguswood Tournament Arena.
Almost all the audience members focused their attention on the same live broadcast screen.
The scene was quiet for a moment, then a wave of noise erupted.
“Oh my god! Undergrudge Yodo! An Undergrudge Yodo actually appeared in this hospital! This Xiao Nvhai must have died a terrible death!”
All deceased individuals possessed by Undergrudge Yodo died terribly, without exception.
“It looks like there’s going to be big news!”
“Holy cow, this Ghost-type Pet can actually use Space Movement?!”
“What kind of Pet Identifier is this! It’s causing too much trouble!”
“Quickly call the police! Where there’s an Undergrudge Yodo, there’s injustice!”
“This is my first time seeing an Undergrudge Yodo! This ticket was worth it!”
At this moment, one of the audience members looked at the figure in the white dress on the screen, his pupils constricted, and he swallowed, his voice hoarse: “Remember the man who was crying just now? This is his daughter.”
