Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 857: Bait

“This… this isn’t quite appropriate, is it…?” Yuan Jiewen was utterly bewildered by the big shot’s words.

Peeing?

Here?

In front of two ladies?

“Can you tell us why?” Mi Jiala calmed down and asked, still relatively composed.

She believed Qiao Sang wouldn’t make such a request without reason.

“It’s like this, I just had Xiao Xunbao use Touch Sense to view the scene of you resting here at that time…” Qiao Sang tried to keep it concise, briefly explaining what she had seen, then concluded:

“I found that for the past week, everyone who rested here didn’t disappear for no reason. At most, they encountered attacks from wild Pets, which is normal, just like when we arrived. Everyone was attacked, but only he was attacked and taken away alone, and the wild Pet that took him didn’t harm the sleeping people.”

“I recalled that the difference was that he peed under the fruit tree. It was at that moment that he was targeted by the wild Pet in the pond.”

Saying that, she looked at Yuan Jiewen: “So I want you to do the same, to make that wild Pet show itself.”

Touch Sense, fruit tree, peeing… Yuan Jiewen struggled to digest these messages, and a thought couldn’t help but flash through his mind: Could Liu Bo really have been targeted by a wild Pet for such an absurd reason? Just because of a pee?

At this moment, Mi Jiala slowly said:

“Most Water-type Pets prefer cleanliness, and the water leap fruit trees generally don’t need fertilizer. Instead, they need to be watered with water containing Water-type energy to grow better. If the person you’re looking for was indeed targeted by a Water-type Pet because he relieved himself next to the fruit tree, then it’s actually quite possible.”

Yuan Jiewen was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth: “I understand!”

With that, he walked under the fruit tree, ready to unzip his pants.

It’s just peeing and being targeted by an unknown wild Pet!

Anyway, with the big shot here, and since he’s already come this far, for the Healing Light and to successfully leave the secret realm, he’s going all out!

Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala tacitly turned around.

Soon, the sound of water splashing followed.

“What level is your Flame Qilu’s Touch Sense at?” Mi Jiala glanced at Xiao Xunbao and asked.

Qiao Sang said in surprise:

“You know its name is Flame Qilu?”

Few people could recognize Xiao Xunbao’s species without a Pet Identifier.

“Of course, I identified what kind of Pet it was from a distance before I felt confident enough to team up with you,” Mi Jiala said without changing her expression.

No wonder… At that time, her attention was focused on contacting Yuan Jiewen, so it was normal not to hear the sound of a Pet Identifier in the distance… Qiao Sang didn’t doubt her, saying:

“It has reached the Profound Level.”

Mi Jiala, hearing this, couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Xunbao again.

She had seen Pets with good talent before, but they were usually particularly talented in a certain attribute’s skills, making rapid progress in corresponding attribute skills.

Flame Qilu’s main attribute was Fire-type. She remembered that many related Fire-type skills had reached the Profound Level, and it had even awakened a Fire-type Ultra-level skill.

She had thought that Flame Qilu had unique talent in Fire-type related skills, but she didn’t expect its secondary attribute’s Superpower System skills to also have such high talent.

One must know that Touch Sense is a high-level Superpower System skill…

“I’m done.” Yuan Jiewen pulled up his pants and walked over.

“Did you see any strange wild Pets appear in the pond?” Qiao Sang asked Steel Treasure in her mind.

Most wild Pets usually target humans first but don’t guard against the Pets accompanying humans.

When Yuan Jiewen was relieving himself just now, she had Steel Treasure watch from above the pond through telepathic communication.

“Steel Slash.” Steel Treasure called out in her mind, indicating yes, it was just a black shadow, but it didn’t emerge from the water, so its specific appearance couldn’t be seen.

That’s it… Qiao Sang continued to ask: “Has it left?”

“Steel Slash.” Steel Treasure nodded.

Only then did Qiao Sang look at Yuan Jiewen and say, “Then let’s rest now. I’ll trouble you to stand guard.”

Yuan Jiewen was stunned for a moment: “So soon? I’m not ready yet…”

Qiao Sang was understanding: “Then prepare yourself.”

Five minutes later, she asked: “Are you ready?”

Yuan Jiewen: “…”

“Big shot, you really won’t fall asleep, will you?” Yuan Jiewen asked with some unease.

“Don’t worry, the scene I saw in Touch Sense was that the wild Pet used a faint blue gas to put you into a deep sleep.” Qiao Sang understood the other party’s concern and reassured him: “If I’m not mistaken, that should be Water Sleep Gas. My Ghost Ring King knows Tongue Lick, which can正好 counter it.”

Water Sleep Gas, a Water-type intermediate skill, can put the target into a deep sleep state. The gas is a faint blue color, making it easy to confirm.

Yuan Jiewen was still uneasy: “What if Ghost Ring King is also hypnotized?”

Qiao Sang said: “My Ice Aipalu has Healing Light. Water Sleep Gas is not a skill that immediately puts the target to sleep upon inhalation. Even with high proficiency, there’s still one or two seconds of buffer time, and that one or two seconds is already enough.”

Healing Light… Yuan Jiewen immediately felt relieved and said earnestly: “Big shot, I’m ready.”

Qiao Sang nodded slightly, then found a spot and lay down.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao vigilantly watched its surroundings.

“Xiao Xunbao, you come lie down too,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Although Xiao Xunbao was a bit uneasy about the environment, upon hearing its Yu Beast Master’s words, it still came and lay down beside her, closing its eyes.

Seeing its breathing become more and more steady, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but remind it helplessly:

“Don’t actually fall asleep.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao suddenly woke up, opened its eyes, and showed a look of lingering fear.

It almost fell asleep…

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao had heard the entire conversation and consciously concealed its figure.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure glanced at the pond, spread its wings, and came to lie down beside its Yu Beast Master, closing its eyes, appearing to be asleep.

Qiao Sang understood that Steel Treasure wasn’t really sleeping.

She gave Yuan Jiewen a “it’s up to you” look, then turned her head back, looked at the sky, and closed her eyes.

At this moment, a black shadow faintly appeared in the pond.

Mi Jiala subtly glanced out of the corner of her eye, then withdrew her gaze and smiled at Yuan Jiewen: “I’ll trouble you to stand guard.”

After speaking, she came and lay down beside Qiao Sang, closing her eyes.

Ning Ming Frog stood still, like a background prop.

Mi Jiala suddenly opened her eyes and gave it a faint look.

“Ning Ning…”

Ning Ming Frog’s body stiffened, and it immediately lay down on its back, four legs in the air.

Not standing guard, but being bait… Yuan Jiewen sighed inwardly and exchanged glances with Bei Renhao next to him: “Don’t you fall asleep.”

“Bei Renhao.”

Bei Renhao nodded, showing a “don’t worry” expression.

At the same time, the black shadow in the pond disappeared.

Time passed little by little.

After about half an hour, the black shadow in the pond reappeared.

Immediately after, a faint blue gas drifted out.
