Chapter 93 - 89: Could It Be a Mistake?
Chapter 93: Chapter 89: Could It Be a Mistake?
But the next second, Qiao Sang fell into a dilemma again.
How was she supposed to take away the five million?
It was a spur of the moment decision to bind the five million, but after doing so, just as she had feared, how could she leave the mountain?
Even if she dragged the five million for a distance, what would she do when the Stone Helmet Spirit and the Silver-Tail Sea Serpent realized their Beast Tamer was gone?
Beast Tamers and their Pet Beasts have a mutual sense of connection, and as the brain domain develops more, the distance of this sensory connection also increases.
This five million included a General-level Silver-Tail Sea Serpent, and the Beast Tamer’s rank would not be lower than D-grade, maybe even a C-rank Beast Tamer who had passed the Alliance’s assessment.
If it really was a C-rank Beast Tamer, no matter which corner of the mountain his Pet Beasts were in, as soon as he moved, even if she got down the mountain, he might still sense it.
In this way, directly taking the five million to the foot of the mountain was an impossibility, and Little Treasure-seeking Ghost had not come back yet.
She was no C-rank Beast Tamer, and if she went too far, Little Treasure-seeking Ghost might not be able to find her.
Qiao Sang felt a headache coming on, her personality wasn’t like this before, she always felt that she had become a bit impulsive lately, there’s a saying that you are influenced by those you associate with, who had she been spending time with?
“Ya!”
The Fire-Toothed Dog’s bark pulled Qiao Sang back from her thoughts.
“Ya Ya.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog gave a loud bark towards its own Beast Tamer.
Should it shoot a jet of fire at the man?
Its eyes were bright, full of enthusiasm for the task.
“No! Although he is not a good person, burning him to death is not the way to go, let’s hand him over to the police,” Qiao Sang quickly stopped it, afraid that the Fire-Toothed Dog would impulsively spew fire.
The Fire-Toothed Dog tilted its head to the side.
Could you actually burn someone to death? It thought that it was like fighting, where you would only get hurt and pass out.
“Ci?”
At this moment, the Magnetic Brute Rat and her child also caught up and looked puzzled at the man on the ground, his hands bound like a rice dumpling.
After thinking for a while and failing to come up with a better idea, Qiao Sang simply took out her phone and called the police station again.
“Hello, this is the 660 emergency service desk, your call will be recorded.”
The call connected!
Qiao Sang was startled, then quickly said, “This is in Jiajin, Qitang, Huangming Mountain, Zhou Xian, that A-grade fugitive, he’s here, hurry up…”
“Dudu dudu…”
The line went busy before she could finish speaking.
The sweltering heat of summer combined with the stimulation from adrenaline had already soaked the back of Qiao Sang’s shirt, but at this moment the air suddenly turned cool, giving her a chill.
A shadow loomed over Qiao Sang’s head, and she unconsciously clenched the phone still by her ear and slowly looked up.
…
Qitang Town.
Police station.
“Hello, this is the Jiajin County Public Security Bureau’s Qitang Substation,” the operator answered the call.
“…”
There were two groups at the Qitang Town substation, with one group on duty each day.
The duty officers were divided into two types: internal and street officers, and case officers.
The former dealt with cases and patrolled during the day, while the latter were on call 24 hours to respond to any cases.
But because the police officers in Qitang Town were all Beast Tamers, and yet the town was mostly populated by ordinary people, the on-duty officers were more than capable of handling the cases, and there was never a scenario where two groups of duty officers needed to mobilize at the same time.
However, at this moment, both groups of duty officers were fully mobilized.
Four police cars and three Flight Type Pet Beasts—a plump homing pigeon, a Wind Sculptor, and a Roar Sparrow—headed in the same direction.
Aboard the Wind Sculptor.
“What kind of mouth does Guang Bei have? Talk about a jinx, with so many places in Hangkang, Zhou Xian just had to come to our town, such rotten luck,” the middle-aged woman sighed.
“Can we really take down Zhou Xian just by going over there? According to his file, he’s a C-grade Beast Tamer with two General-level Pet Beasts,” Ye Ranran said worriedly.
“We can’t take him down,” the middle-aged woman stated.
Ye Ranran: “…”
The middle-aged woman paused, then continued, “Ideally, we should first secure Zhou Xian’s whereabouts and wait for someone from above to come over, but we can’t get a callback from the person who reported the crime.”
A moment of silence filled the air.
After a while, Ye Ranran said, “While it sounds unethical to say this, my cousin just went to Huangming Mountain a few days ago, thankfully she didn’t encounter him and came back safe.”
The middle-aged woman said, “Yeah, I heard that it was a girl who called the police, I wonder how she’s doing now.”
…
On Huangming Mountain.
Qiao Sang raised her head and her heart tightened when she saw the purple round eyes staring intently at her.
Stone Helmet Spirit?
Where was her Xiao Xunbao?!
Qiao Sang looked around.
She saw Xiao Xunbao staggering out from behind the Stone Helmet Spirit, its grey cheeks flushed with red.
It leisurely floated above Qiao Sang’s head, found a comfortable position to lie down, closed its eyes, and looked very much like it was drunk.
As long as it’s okay…
Relieved, Qiao Sang waved her right hand, and for the first time, she stored the Treasure-seeking Ghost into the Beast Taming Codex.
The Stone Helmet Spirit squinted its purple round eyes and looked at its master lying on the ground.
There was a big bump on the head, and the hands were bound, looking even more miserable than before.
“Stone Helmet! Stone Helmet!”
The Stone Helmet Spirit cried out in anger.
Its purple pupils suddenly contracted, and its eyes emitted a purple glow.
The next moment, its figure vanished, the spot where it disappeared turned rapidly black and then expanded outward until it stopped at a radius of about four meters.
A chill settled in Qiao Sang’s heart.
It was the Night Spirit Feast.
Unlike the Dream Devouring skill which consumed the dreams of targets in a sleeping state to recover half of its inflicted damage,
the Night Spirit Feast could drag a conscious target into the darkness to harm them and restore its own energy.
It was essentially an advanced version of the Dream Devouring skill.
Qiao Sang’s face grew solemn.
What should I do?
The Fire-Toothed Dog is no match for the Stone Helmet Spirit; are we really going to be defeated here?
The Stone Helmet Spirit was so easy to deceive, but would giving it a bottle of milk still work now?
However, all the milk was in Treasure-seeking Ghost’s ring…
While Qiao Sang’s thoughts were racing, the Fire-Toothed Dog suddenly leapt onto the man, opened its mouth wide, and its teeth were engulfed in flames.
“Ya!”
“Ya Ya!”
The Fire-Toothed Dog bent its head down towards the man’s neck, its gaze roaming around, its tone threatening.
Qiao Sang stared at the Fire-Toothed Dog’s actions, stunned for a long moment.
Fuck!
Her seemingly innocent and adorable Yaobao, how could it be so… smart!
When had it learned this?
It felt like she had seen this somewhere before…
At the same time, feeling this scene seemed familiar were the nearby Magnetic Rats and their young.
“Stone Helmet!”
“Stone Helmet!”
The Stone Helmet Spirit quickly emerged, fearing that if it were too late, its master would lose his life.
“Yaobao, just maintain that pose and don’t move!” Qiao Sang exclaimed excitedly.
“Ya!”
The Fire-Toothed Dog responded with a sound while maintaining its lowered head posture.
It understood that it had to make this ghostly creature surrender, just as its own Beast Tamer had done to the Magnetic Rats earlier.
“Withdraw your skill,” Qiao Sang seized the opportunity to demand.
“Stone Helmet.”
The Stone Helmet Spirit nodded and the next second, the blackness on the ground gradually dissipated.
“Take out whatever you’re using to block the signal,” Qiao Sang said.
She had been able to make phone calls just before, and then suddenly lost signal when the Stone Helmet Spirit appeared; she highly suspected it was related to the Stone Helmet Spirit.
“Stone Helmet?”
The Stone Helmet Spirit tilted its head, not understanding the meaning.
Qiao Sang was shocked by the Stone Helmet Spirit’s reaction, had she guessed wrong?
Just then, a yellow Flight Type Pet Beast with half of its wings bald came hobbling into Qiao Sang’s line of sight.
