Chapter 89: Stonehelm

At this moment, Qiao Sang understood.

Everything was predetermined.

If she hadn’t returned to Qiao Sang’s Old Home, how could she have possibly saved the Magnetic Armored Rat? If she hadn’t saved the Magnetic Armored Rat, how could she have come to Huangming Mountain? If she hadn’t come to Huangming Mountain, how would she have met the Magnetic Armored Rat’s mother?

Most importantly!

If she hadn’t met the Magnetic Armored Rat’s mother, how would she have had the chance to encounter this 5 million yuan!

As the saying goes, when Heaven bestows great wealth upon a person, it must first test their will and wear out their bones!

Qiao Sang pulled her head back in and, by the way, hugged the Fire Fang Dog, which was still peeking out.

“Woof?”

“Squeak?”

“Squeak?”

Three small heads looked at Qiao Sang in unison.

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost drank its milk, completely unaffected.

It had expended too much energy just now and only wanted to replenish itself.

Qiao Sang tiptoed back to a more distant but still observable sycamore tree, using it to conceal her tracks while keeping an eye on the 5 million yuan.

After an unknown amount of time, the adrenaline-pumping, heart-pounding tension and excitement finally dissipated.

Qiao Sang calmed down and tried to analyze the situation.

This was an escaped murderer, and exposing herself was not a wise choice.

The wanted poster only listed his name, appearance, age, and place of origin, as well as the bounty and the crime he committed; it did not mention his Yu Beast Master level or his Pet.

However, this was normal; the police issued this wanted poster to alert the public to his presence and whereabouts, not to expect the public to capture him.

The safest method now was to call the police.

But first, there was no signal, and second, she couldn’t get down the mountain.

Regarding the former, either there was signal jamming equipment on the mountain, or the 5 million yuan had a Lightning-type Pet using electromagnetic interference.

Regarding the latter, it was unknown whether a Superpower System Pet or a Ghost-type Pet was at work.

The Magnetic Armored Rat had been out after seeing the Silver Tail Sea Serpent and the 5 million yuan here.

One thing was certain: this skill, whether it was Mirror Space or Ghost Wall, could not be maintained 24 hours a day.

Qiao Sang cautiously looked around where the man was lying; the 5 million yuan lay there with his eyes closed, seemingly seriously injured, but no Pet was found beside him.

This was very abnormal.

Did an escaped and seriously injured murderer have no such vigilance?

“Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, look over there. Besides the man lying there, did you find any other figures?” Qiao Sang said to the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

“Hunt.”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost pointed in the direction of the man.

Yes, it had already seen it.

Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

Indeed, there was a Ghost-type Pet guarding the 5 million yuan.

Normally, invisible Ghost-type Pets could not be seen.

But as fellow Ghost-type creatures, they could see each other when invisible, though the figures were not as clear as when they were materialized.

“Magnetic Armored Rat, besides the Silver Tail Sea Serpent, have any other Pets appeared on the mountain recently?” Qiao Sang asked.

The Magnetic Armored Rat mother and son shook their heads.

Qiao Sang’s heart uncontrollably wished this were true.

The 5 million yuan was injured now, either unconscious or asleep. If there was only one Ghost-type Pet guarding him, she could create some commotion to lure this Pet away.

A Yu Beast Master’s greatest asset is their Pet, but their greatest weakness is themselves.

The 5 million yuan was weak now; if she could take the opportunity to tie him up…

Qiao Sang quickly dismissed this idea.

It sounded easy, but there were too many unknowns in actual execution.

First, how could she lure that Ghost-type Pet away?

What if the commotion was too great and the 5 million yuan woke up?

Secondly, what if this 5 million yuan woke up and could still summon Pets from his yu beast codex?

Finally, even if the first two things miraculously succeeded, how would she get down the mountain?

During this time, both that Ghost-type Pet and the Silver Tail Sea Serpent would probably realize their Yu Beast Master was missing.

Just as Qiao Sang was racking her brain for a solution, the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost tilted its head, looked at its Yu Beast Master, and then looked at the Ghost creature with a pained expression and pursed lips.

Its Yu Beast Master seemed to want that Ghost creature to leave.

As a sensible Treasure Hunting Ghost, it felt it was absolutely necessary to solve this matter for its Yu Beast Master.

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost finished its last sip of milk and then floated leisurely towards where the Ghost creature was staying.

“Woof.”

The Fire Fang Dog’s voice pulled Qiao Sang back from her thoughts.

At this moment, the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had already floated in the man’s direction.

Qiao Sang was dumbfounded. When did the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost go over there?!

Why did it go over there?

Did it see a fellow creature and want to say hello?

Qiao Sang was instantly anxious.

She felt like she was about to be exposed…

Wait, no matter what, she couldn’t admit she knew the other party was a wanted criminal…

Qiao Sang looked over in a panic.

She happened to see the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost call out into the air, and then a Pet about 1.5 meters tall, with a stone helmet on its head and only a single purple round eye on its exposed face, appeared.

Qiao Sang recognized this as a High-level Pet, the Stone Helmet Spirit.

The Stone Helmet Spirit had a decent reputation among Ghost-type Pets; at most, it liked to float its helmet in the air at night to scare people, without revealing its body or face.

At this moment, the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost pulled out a bottle of milk from its ring and handed it over.

Qiao Sang was truly worried about the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s behavior.

Why did this child give milk to everyone it met!

The Stone Helmet Spirit looked fierce and menacing; how could it possibly accept and drink milk?

The next second, Qiao Sang was stunned.

She saw the Stone Helmet Spirit in the distance carefully take the milk and drink it, and then a line of tears fell from its purple eye.

Qiao Sang: “…”

What happened to this world…

What Qiao Sang didn’t know was that the Stone Helmet Spirit hadn’t had a good meal since it started fleeing with its Yu Beast Master.

After the Stone Helmet Spirit finished the bottle of milk, the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost pointed in a distant direction and then floated away, with the Stone Helmet Spirit following closely, afraid of getting lost.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Actually, in this world, it’s not Yu Beast Masters who need Pets, but Pets who need Yu Beast Masters, right? Otherwise, how could they be sold without even knowing it…

Only a man with his eyes closed remained on the grass ahead.

Qiao Sang’s heart unconsciously sped up.

Should she go over and tie up the 5 million yuan?

The 5 million yuan was completely motionless now, and there was no Pet beside him. This opportunity could be said to be once in a lifetime…

But what if he woke up halfway and summoned another Pet?

Never mind!

When Heaven bestows great wealth upon a person, it must first test their will…

Qiao Sang hardened her heart, untied her white shoelaces, picked up the Fire Fang Dog, and quickly ran over.

Looking at the motionless man in front of her, she squatted down and deftly used her shoelaces to bind his hands, fingers together.

A Yu Beast Master must use both hands to form hand seals to summon a Pet.

As long as his hands couldn’t form seals, she could prevent him from summoning new Pets.

During the binding, the man’s eyelids twitched slightly. The Fire Fang Dog beside her noticed it first and, without thinking, headbutted the man’s head.

The Fire Fang Dog had been practicing Ram with trees, so the hardness of its head was imaginable. With one headbutt, the man’s eyelids closed again before they could even open.

“Well done,” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but praise.

“Woof,” the Fire Fang Dog barked happily.

Although it didn’t understand what was going on, it instinctively felt that this person shouldn’t wake up based on its Yu Beast Master’s series of actions.

Only after tying the man’s hands in a dead knot did Qiao Sang breathe a sigh of relief.

I’ve noticed that most of you are appearance-oriented. How can you think there’s something between the male lead and the female lead just because he’s handsome… This isn’t a handsome guy, it’s 5 million yuan…
