Chapter 800: Found you (two in one)

After a brief silence of a few seconds, Qiao Sang suddenly showed a look of surprise and unexpectedness: “What a coincidence! Did you sense Fa Miao E’s aura and come here again?”

Pilit’s heart stirred upon hearing this, and his wary gaze softened as he cooperatively put on a “what a coincidence” expression.

The elder was silent for a second: “We sensed a powerful aura here and suspected Aodinihi was here, that’s why we came.”

You really don’t need to be so direct… While Qiao Sang felt weary, her thoughts raced.

It seemed the other party didn’t see them as competitors, which was why he spoke so directly. Earlier, he even invited them to search for Aodinihi together. Was it because he thought they had no intention of contracting Aodinihi, or did he think that even if they found Aodinihi, they wouldn’t be able to contend with him?

Now that they were here, it was unrealistic for the other party not to go in. Were they really going to act together?

At this moment, the Black-haired Youth showed a friendly smile: “Aodinihi is very likely inside this cave. Since you’re both here, why don’t you come in and take a look?”

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, unable to find a suitable reason to refuse.

No one could resist the temptation of seeing an Illusion Beast.

Refusing earlier was acceptable because Aodinihi was nowhere in sight, and searching might have been a waste of time.

But now that the other party had narrowed down the location to the adjacent cave, refusing at this point would be clearly abnormal and would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Really, why think so much? The big shot is right beside me. Just let him handle things… Qiao Sang looked at Pilit beside her, as if seeking his opinion.

Pilit looked at the two people in front and grinned: “Let’s go together. We were planning to go in anyway. If we’re lucky enough to see Aodinihi, that would be great.”

With that, he took the lead and stepped in.

Qiao Sang quickly followed.

The elder and Aogefu exchanged glances and followed closely behind.

As soon as Qiao Sang entered the cave, she immediately felt a chill wash over her.

Her first reaction was to bend down and pick up Ya Bao.

Actually, the temperature wasn’t too cold, but having stayed on the Super Dormant Star, which had a constant temperature throughout the year, for a while, the sudden drop in temperature below the average made Qiao Sang a bit unaccustomed.

Feeling the warmth in her arms, she finally felt a bit more comfortable.

“Yaya…”

Ya Bao quietly allowed herself to be held.

“Do you have any Pets that can provide light? It’s a bit dark in here.” Pilit stopped and looked at the elder and the Black-haired Youth who were walking at the very back.

“Ya!”

Lighting?

It could!

Just as Ya Bao was about to use a fire-type skill, it felt its Yu Beast Master pat its head, understanding that its Yu Beast Master didn’t want it to use it, and immediately quieted down, acting as if it hadn’t spoken.

Aogefu stepped forward and said, “I’ll do it.”

He formed hand seals, and a large red star array immediately lit up.

B-level Beast Tamer… Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, and various thoughts popped up instantly.

Although Teacher Pilit had a Royal-level Pet, due to his brain region, he couldn’t participate in the next level of assessment, so his Yu Beast Master level was also B-level.

This guy looked young, but he was at the same level as Teacher Pilit.

No wonder he spoke in an elder’s tone when they first met; he’s probably quite old…

That old man was clearly the leader among the two, so he should be stronger than this person, either also B-level, or an A-grade Beastmaster…

If he really is an A-grade Beastmaster, and a dispute arises over Aodinihi, our side probably won’t have much chance of winning…

Just as Qiao Sang’s thoughts were racing, Pilit looked at the color of the star array, his expression unchanged.

Soon, a Pet, about one meter tall, almost entirely white, with a blue bud resembling a crown on its head, deep blue eyes, and a very serious appearance, appeared within the star array.

Guangchim, a Superpower System General-level Pet, can emit flickering light from its body, putting opponents into a strong hypnotic state. It is stoic and rarely shows its teeth… Qiao Sang’s mind recalled information about the Pet in front of her, and her gaze fell on its wrist, where she indeed saw a miniature shrinking bracelet.

“Illuminate.” Aogefu said.

Guangchim didn’t speak or use any skills. It just smiled slightly, revealing eight glowing teeth.

“Pfft~”

Qiao Sang’s attention was instantly drawn. She stared at Guangchim’s glowing teeth and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Guangchim maintained its toothy smile and quietly glanced at Qiao Sang.

Rude human…

“Is this your first time seeing Guangchim?” Aogefu asked.

Qiao Sang suppressed her laughter and hummed in acknowledgment.

“Guangchim, a Superpower System General-level Pet. Its teeth emit a faint glow, which is particularly noticeable in the dark and can be used as a light source.” Pilit didn’t forget his duty as a teacher and explained: “However, Guangchim usually doesn’t like its glowing teeth, so it always maintains a cold, serious expression when outside.”

Qiao Sang thought, no wonder the information said it was stoic and rarely showed its teeth.

Guangchim walked to the very front.

Pilit, at some point, had moved next to the elder and casually asked:

“Is Aodinihi really here?”

“There’s a certain degree of certainty, but it’s not confirmed.” The elder said indifferently.

“By the way, my name is Pilit. I haven’t asked your name yet.” Pilit said.

The elder glanced at him: “My name is Lu Xiu Ma Er.”

The Black-haired Youth walking ahead heard the conversation and interjected: “My name is Aogefu.”

“What is your always-invisible Pet?” Pilit seemed more interested in the elder beside him and asked.

“Kong Qikesi.” Lu Xiu Ma Er seemed to speak without reservation.

Kong Qikesi… Qiao Sang’s heart sank.

She had seen this Pet in the Rare Pet Illustrated Guide. It was a Royal-level Superpower System Pet, said to possess extremely powerful mental control, capable of distorting space with its mental power.

“If you encounter Aodinihi, are you planning to contract it?” Pilit then asked.

Qiao Sang quietly perked up her ears, awaiting the answer.

“My contract slots are already full.” Lu Xiu Ma Er smiled: “Even if I wanted to contract it, I wouldn’t be able to.”

“Then are you looking for Aodinihi to help you predict the next evolution location of your Pet?” Pilit pressed on.

Lu Xiu Ma Er smiled slightly, not denying it.

Really or fake… Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she looked at the Black-haired Youth walking beside Guangchim.

She couldn’t easily trust strangers.

Even if the elder named Lu Xiu Ma Er had full contract slots, it didn’t mean the person accompanying him also had full contract slots…

…

At the same time.

Deep inside the cave.

Aodinihi’s ears twitched, and it looked towards the passage leading outside.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao, imagining itself becoming the boss soon, was in a good mood, drinking milk nearby.

“Didi.”

Aodinihi called out, indicating that humans were coming.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up, revealing a happy expression.

It must be its Yu Beast Master coming to find it!

With that, it closed its eyes, preparing to sense its Yu Beast Master’s location and teleport directly in front of her to give her a surprise.

“Didi.”

Aodinihi called out calmly, indicating there were four humans.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao had already sensed its Yu Beast Master’s location.

Four humans or not, it just needed to get next to its Yu Beast Master.

Thinking this, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

“Bang!”

However, the next second, it crashed into an invisible wall and fell to the ground.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao looked at Aodinihi with a bewildered expression.

“Didi.”

Aodinihi glanced at it, its expression very majestic, completely unlike its previously approachable demeanor.

You can’t leave yet.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao was a bit anxious.

Why?

“Didi.”

Aodinihi silently glanced at the rings on Xiao Xunbao’s head and ears, then retracted its gaze and called out calmly.

Those four humans are coming for it. If your Yu Beast Master is among them, then she’s a bad guy, so I can’t let you go back with her.

“Didi.”

After speaking, Aodinihi extended its claw and called out again.

Unless you take out everything in the rings and give it to it.

Aodinihi stood in the shadows, its red eyes looking particularly terrifying at this moment.

“Xiao Xunbao!!!”

Xiao Xunbao shrieked.

Robbery!!!

…

Looking at the fork in the cave ahead, Aogefu stopped and turned to the elder, asking: “Which way should we go?”

Before Lu Xiu Ma Er could answer, Qiao Sang suggested:

“How about we split up and then meet back here later?”

“No need for such trouble.” Lu Xiu Ma Er said, looking at the air beside him: “Sense it.”

“Kongkong.”

A translucent figure appeared beside them, but its exact form was not visible, only faint outlines could be seen.

After about ten seconds, the translucent Pet raised its claw and pointed to the right cave.

It really sensed it… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

Indeed, the abilities of a Royal-level Pet were not to be underestimated.

She sensed that Xiao Xunbao was in the right cave.

If Xiao Xunbao was with Aodinihi, then the other party hadn’t sensed incorrectly.

Pilit turned his head to look, his eyes asking: Is that right?

Qiao Sang replied with her eyes: Yes.

The four people successively walked towards the right cave.

Suddenly, Lu Xiu Ma Er looked at Qiao Sang and asked: “Where is your Ghost Ring King?”

Why suddenly ask about this… Qiao Sang’s heart instinctively tensed, and she was about to answer.

Just then, Lu Bao’s head poked out from the backpack.

Lu Xiu Ma Er casually glanced, and seeing it was an Ice Aipalu, he paused, then showed a hesitant expression:

“I just seemed to hear the Ghost Ring King’s cry.”

He didn’t know the Ghost Ring King originally, but because he heard that Qiao Sang’s Ice Aipalu had Healing Light, he specifically watched the Beastmaster Star Tournament finals.

At that time, the Ghost Ring King’s match against Bi Mo Fox left a deep impression on him, and he remembered its cry.

Xiao Xunbao… Qiao Sang’s heart sank, and she immediately sensed Xiao Xunbao’s condition.

After finding that it wasn’t injured, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that for now, they couldn’t shake these two people off. If they really found Aodinihi, they would eventually see Xiao Xunbao anyway, so it might as well be said earlier…

Qiao Sang’s thoughts flickered, then she sighed and said:

“My Ghost Ring King disappeared in this vicinity, so we followed its aura to this cave. Unexpectedly, at the cave entrance, its aura suddenly became undetectable, and then we saw you.”

After speaking, she looked at Lu Xiu Ma Er with expectant eyes: “

“You heard the Ghost Ring King’s voice, did you hear which direction it came from?”

As soon as these words came out, Steel Treasure, who had been quiet and unassuming, glanced at its Yu Beast Master.

This acting, if I weren’t right here, I almost would’ve believed it… I didn’t hear the Ghost Ring King’s voice, but this person did, so his feedback must be stronger than mine… Pilit complained inwardly, becoming even more vigilant.

However, his steps didn’t stop, and his expression didn’t change, as if he hadn’t heard the conversation.

“It’s right ahead.” Lu Xiu Ma Er heard this and didn’t show an expression of “What? Such a thing happened!” but replied calmly.

…

On the other side.

“Didi!”

Aodinihi saw Xiao Xunbao’s panicked expression and quickly called out, explaining.

It wasn’t robbing, it was just discussing with it!

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s expression was both angry and wronged.

It was robbery!

Its Yu Beast Master was its own Yu Beast Master, not a bad person at all, and her main purpose in coming here was definitely to find it. You were just an incidental part!

Aodinihi was stunned for a moment, its eyes filled with confusion.

Incidental?

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao spoke with increasing enthusiasm.

That’s right, it’s incidental. She’s only looking for you because she wants to hear you play the flute!

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Just as Aodinihi was about to say something, Xiao Xunbao called out again, indicating, don’t forget, you just ate so many of my things and said you’d consider it!

“Didi…”

Aodinihi looked at the pile of uneaten snacks on the ground, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xiao Xunbao.

But there were four humans, too many humans, and it didn’t like them.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of “That’s easy.”

You don’t need to worry about the other three humans. Just play for my Yu Beast Master and my little friend.

“Didi…”

Aodinihi seemed to be deep in thought. Then its ears twitched, as if it heard something, and its eyes glowed blue.

In the cave, it, Xiao Xunbao, and the pile of snacks instantly vanished.

…

The aura from the two Royal-level Pets made the wild Pets inside the cave dare not approach.

The four people smoothly reached the end of the right passage in the cave.

The cave in front of them was incredibly dim and eerily silent.

Not to mention wild Pets, there wasn’t even a single ordinary creature.

“It seems Aodinihi and Ghost Ring King are not here.” Pilit scanned the surroundings, his gaze pausing at a certain spot, then he spoke.

No, Xiao Xunbao is right here… Qiao Sang sensed Xiao Xunbao’s aura, but with two people who had designs on Aodinihi nearby, she pretended not to sense anything and showed a disappointed expression.

“Let’s go back the way we came and check the other cave entrance.” Aogefu suggested.

“No.” Lu Xiu Ma Er suddenly laughed and shouted with full vigor: “Kong Qikesi, correct!”

As soon as his voice fell, Kong Qikesi’s figure fully appeared.

A purplish-red face, three tails, with a white gem at the end of each tail.

“Kongkong!”

It let out a loud cry, its eyes glowing blue.

The scene in the cave immediately twisted, like a water surface ruffled by wind.

When the scene returned to normal.

A Pet about 50 centimeters tall, mostly beige, with a round head, ribbon-like antennae on top, red eyes, two red diamond-shaped patterns above its eyes, and holding a red flute in its claw, along with Xiao Xunbao, whose mouth was covered and looked like it was being held hostage, staring tearfully, appeared before Qiao Sang.

“I found you.” Lu Xiu Ma Er stared intently at Aodinihi, his face filled with wild joy.

PS: Happy Children’s Day, everyone!
