Chapter 1018: Xihancheng
The exclusive pet beast that came specifically to pick them up was a black tiger-type pet beast, with a sign hanging around its neck that said "Qiao Sang, here," making it very easy to identify.
"Where is your Beast Tamer?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Huahua."
The black tiger-type pet beast let out a cry.
"Xunxun~" Little Xunbao helped translate immediately.
Its Beast Tamer went to the bathroom.
After saying this, it took off its ring, took out the pet beast identifier, and aimed it at the black tiger-type pet beast.
A mechanical voice with the same sound as it immediately rang out:
【Master, you finally used me again, let me see~ Slippery Tiger, Jiang-tier Dark-type pet beast, likes to scare people occasionally, and also likes to frame others. After doing something bad itself, it lets the pet beast next to it take the blame, very cunning. Master, I suggest you stay away from it to avoid being framed by it.】
The Slippery Tiger turned its head.
The surrounding air suddenly went quiet.
Even Teacher Mi Jiala's expression almost couldn't hold up.
Qingbao appeared, waiting with bright eyes for everything that was about to happen.
"Xunxun..."
Little Xunbao put the pet beast identifier back into the ring and silently turned invisible.
Qiao Sang coughed, preparing to help make up for it.
"Huahua."
At this moment, the Slippery Tiger let out a cry, looking completely indifferent.
"Xunxun!" Little Xunbao reappeared immediately, smiled, patted the Slippery Tiger's head, and showed an expression of "You kid are not bad, I appreciate you."
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and asked: "What did the Slippery Tiger just say?"
"Yaya." Like Ya Bao let out a cry, indicating that the guy said it didn't care what the pet beast identifier said.
This Slippery Tiger actually has such a broad mind... Qiao Sang was both surprised and not surprised.
What was surprising was that this Slippery Tiger's mind was really broad; what wasn't surprising was that the pet beast identifier wasn't one hundred percent accurate to begin with. After some pet beasts are cultivated by Beast Tamers, their personalities and habits might change. This Slippery Tiger was probably just like that.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao turned back into wind with a slightly disappointed look.
Just as Little Xunbao and the Slippery Tiger were getting along like brothers, a middle-aged man wearing black clothes with two large dark circles under his eyes walked over quickly and said with an apologetic face:
"Sorry, I had something to do just now."
When he said this, his gaze was on Teacher Mi Jiala.
"We just arrived too." Teacher Mi Jiala said.
The middle-aged man scanned the surroundings, then his gaze fell on Little Xunbao and Bao Wuwu, and he asked:
"Where is Qiao Sang?"
Qiao Sang: "..."
"I'm here." Qiao Sang said.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, as if he had only just noticed there was another person here.
Before he could open his mouth, Qiao Sang said:
"I used Senseless Powder."
The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief and smiled: "I was just wondering how I could have possibly not noticed the youngest regional champion in Dragon Kingdom history."
Qiao Sang restrained the corners of her mouth from turning up.
Before she could respond, the middle-aged man flipped over and sat on the Slippery Tiger, ordering: "Let's go!"
The Slippery Tiger walked out of the second basement level and sped along the spacious street.
After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Qiao Sang learned that the person in front of her was named Gao Renhe, also a researcher, but his rank was only C-rank. It was he who had originally discovered Bao Wuwu.
"I didn't really believe it when Dr. Zhang told me, I didn't expect you to really come to the Zhitia region to specifically help send Bao Wuwu over." Gao Renhe said with emotion.
Qiao Sang said: "I mainly wanted to come and see Xihancheng, which is known as one of the Ten Great Ghost Cities."
Gao Renhe began to talk endlessly:
"You came at the right time. A Spirit-Crossing Cat recently appeared in Xihancheng. It is said that it can help cross human souls. Many Beast Tamers nearing the end of their lives have arrived here. Although it is a Ghost City, it has been much livelier than some second-tier cities recently."
"Since you brought Bao Wuwu over this time, you can just use it to look for the Spirit-Crossing Cat."
Hearing this, Qiao Sang turned her head to look at Bao Wuwu.
"Wuwu."
Bao Wuwu felt her gaze, nodded, and let out a cry, indicating it could help.
Qiao Sang couldn't understand Bao Wuwu's words, but she understood the meaning of its actions and smiled:
"No need, it's more important to find the secret realm rift where Bao Wuwu originally came out."
Seeing rare pet beasts is indeed very attractive, but she had contracted Qingbao and had a Little Tinglong egg in her hand, so this attraction wasn't that strong.
Whether she could see the Spirit-Crossing Cat had never been her purpose for coming here.
"Wuwu..."
Bao Wuwu looked blankly at the human before it.
Gao Renhe thought to himself, truly worthy of being the youngest B-rank Beast Tamer in history, her insight is really not something an ordinary person can compare to, she isn't even tempted by a Spirit-Crossing Cat. He turned and said:
"Even if you don't look for the Spirit-Crossing Cat, you can look for other treasures. We have many secret realm rifts in the Ghost City. Every time, wild Ghost-type pet beasts bring out other things from the secret realm. Last month, someone even picked up an A-rank Knowledge-Soul Grass and became rich overnight."
Qiao Sang immediately said seriously:
"I remember Dr. Zhang said the secret realm rift erupts the day after tomorrow. Since there's nothing to do today and tomorrow anyway, I think we can actually look for it properly."
Teacher Mi Jiala, who had been acting as a background board, showed a smile in her eyes.
"Wuwu!"
Bao Wuwu showed a serious expression and let out a cry, indicating it would definitely help look for it seriously.
Gangbao showed an expression of "I knew it."
Qiao Sang flashed Gangbao's thoughts in her mind, coughed, looked around, changed the subject, and said:
"I see there don't seem to be many people here. Are there usually fewer people?"
Gao Renhe smiled:
"No, most of them are invisible."
Qiao Sang: "???"
Gao Renhe continued:
"In the Ghost City, Beast Tamers basically keep their Ghost-type pet beasts close to help them stay invisible, so they feel a bit more secure."
"Why?" Qiao Sang didn't quite understand.
"Ghost-type pet beasts can distinguish between invisible and visible. Wild Ghost-type pet beasts coming out of secret realms see humans who are invisible along with Ghost-type pet beasts, which will reduce their desire to attack actively." Gao Renhe said.
Qiao Sang pondered:
"Then everyone is invisible, and you can't see each other, wouldn't it be easy to bump into each other?"
Gao Renhe explained:
"We in the Zhitia region have an eye drop called 'Spirit-Vision'. As long as it's a Beast Tamer who has contracted a Ghost-type pet beast and has received two or more feedbacks, dropping this eye drop can achieve the effect of Spirit-Vision within a certain period of time."
How amazing... Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, then she thought of something and asked again:
"The Slippery Tiger runs so fast, won't it bump into invisible people?"
The Slippery Tiger is not a Ghost-type pet beast.
Gao Renhe smiled:
"It wears a prop called 'Spirit-Through' in its eyes. Although it can't see as clearly as Spirit-Vision, it can see life energy bodies and can avoid them."
Sure enough, whether you can see Ghost-type pet beasts in the Zhitia region is very important, so many things are related to this aspect... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Just as she was thinking, with a "bang," the Slippery Tiger seemed to have bumped into something and stopped.
"Shushu!"
A Ghost-type pet beast that was generally black and looked just like a book appeared a few meters in front, showing a painful expression, struggling to climb up.
"Xunxun!"
Little Xunbao was startled, teleported to the side of the book-like Ghost-type pet beast, and watched nervously.
In an instant, a bunch of people and Ghost-type pet beasts appeared on the side of the street. Some people stared at this side to watch the fun, and others looked at Little Xunbao with stunned, uncertain expressions.
Just talking about this topic and bumping into one... No, don't Ghost-type pet beasts have the characteristic of penetration, how could it bump into it... Although Qiao Sang felt something was wrong, she still said worriedly:
"Lubao."
"Bingdi."
Lubao poked its head out of the backpack.
Before it could jump out, Gao Renhe said with a face of being used to it:
"It's nothing, this is just porcelain-bumping."
As he said this, he took out a bag of pet beast snacks from the bag he was carrying and threw it over.
The book-like Ghost-type pet beast did a carp jump, floated up quickly, bit the snack accurately with its mouth, and then turned invisible and vanished.
Little Xunbao: "!!!"
Qiao Sang: "..."
Lubao was silent for a moment and crawled back into the backpack.
"Yaya..."
Like Ya Bao watched, stunned.
Gangbao's mouth twitched.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao showed an expression of "So it can be done like this."
Teacher Mi Jiala's expression didn't change, maintaining the appearance of an S-rank Beast Tamer who had seen the world.
Some people and Ghost-type pet beasts felt it was boring and turned invisible and vanished, while others still looked at Little Xunbao with uncertain eyes, and some even took out their phones to start taking pictures.
After a brief silence, Qiao Sang couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say it was porcelain-bumping, why did you still give it something?"
Gao Renhe said helplessly:
"That is a Book-Keeping Ghost, which can lure the target's aura into the book to perform a curse. It didn't bump into it just now, but the Slippery Tiger's aura should have been lured away a bit. I'm worried that this Book-Keeping Ghost is petty and will perform a curse afterward."
Qiao Sang: "..."
Ghost-type pet beasts are unpopular in other regions, and there is indeed a reason for it...
The Slippery Tiger continued forward. With this episode, it became much more cautious when running.
Not long after, the group arrived at the Beast Taming Center.
Qiao Sang and Teacher Mi Jiala flipped off the Slippery Tiger.
Gao Renhe said:
"Contact me anytime if you have anything. The day after tomorrow, I will take you to the location where Bao Wuwu originally appeared."
After a pause, he added:
"These two days you can go to Fuchun Road and Youbei Street to take a look, there are many secret realm rifts there."
Which means there are also many treasures brought out by wild pet beasts.
"I know." Qiao Sang nodded.
After saying goodbye to Gao Renhe and entering the Beast Taming Center to go through the check-in procedures, she asked for Master Teacher Mi Jiala's opinion, then Qiao Sang followed the address Gao Renhe gave, opened the navigation, and performed a co-sensing location with Little Xunbao.
The next second, she appeared on the street with the "Fuchun Road" sign.
Looking around, many people here were followed by non-Ghost-type pet beasts, and it was clear they were all tourists.
"Wuwu."
Bao Wuwu stepped forward, its eyes glowing with purple light, and just as it was about to show its skills, Qiao Sang opened her mouth and said:
"Go buy a Spirit-Vision first."
"Wuwu..."
The purple light in Bao Wuwu's eyes dissipated.
According to the navigation, she walked into a nearby pharmacy, and Qiao Sang spent 9998 Alliance coins to buy a bottle of Spirit-Vision and dropped it into her eyes.
Instantly, everything before her eyes changed drastically.
The number of people and Ghost-type pet beasts walking on the street more than doubled.
So there were still so many locals... Qiao Sang looked at everything before her and sighed in her heart.
Teacher Mi Jiala said:
"If nothing goes wrong, when the Guihuanwang evolves to King-tier, you should be able to achieve the effect of Spirit-Vision."
Qiao Sang looked at Little Xunbao.
"Xunxun!"
Little Xunbao noticed its Beast Tamer's gaze, clenched its fists upward, and showed an expression of "I will work hard."
Qiao Sang was made to want to laugh by Little Xunbao's actions. She controlled the corners of her mouth and asked:
"Is it that when a Ghost-type pet beast reaches King-tier, the Beast Tamer will definitely be able to achieve the effect of Spirit-Vision?"
"Not necessarily." Teacher Mi Jiala popularized: "This is related to the Beast Tamer's own rank and how much feedback they have received from the Ghost-type pet beast. Generally speaking, it is when the Ghost-type pet beast reaches Emperor-tier that the Beast Tamer will provide feedback for Spirit-Vision."
After a pause, she added:
"You are already a B-rank Beast Tamer, and the feedback effect you absorb is better than that of ordinary Beast Tamers, so it is highly probable that you will be able to achieve Spirit-Vision when the Guihuanwang reaches King-tier."
So that's how it is... Qiao Sang felt she had gained another wave of knowledge.
Suddenly, she discovered that many invisible people and pet beasts were looking in her direction.
Following their gaze, Qiao Sang saw Little Xunbao.
"Wig." Qiao Sang reminded.
"Xunxun~"
Little Xunbao took off its ring, took out the pink afro from inside, and skillfully put it on itself.
"Let's start." Qiao Sang looked at Bao Wuwu and said.
"Wuwu."
Bao Wuwu nodded, and then its eyes glowed with purple light.
"Wuwu!"
Almost in the next second, it was stunned, opened its eyes wide, the purple light dissipated, and it showed a shocked expression, trembling its claws and pointing at the position next to it.
Qiao Sang looked at the position it pointed to, was silent for a moment, and hesitated:
"Qingbao?"
"Qingqing?"
Qingbao appeared, showing an expression of "What's wrong?"
"Wuwu..."
Bao Wuwu naturally had seen Qingbao before. It showed an awkward expression, and its eyes glowed with purple light again.
"Wuwu."
After looking at the positions of Lubao, Like Ya Bao, Little Xunbao, Gangbao, and Penjiamei respectively, after about five seconds, Bao Wuwu began to drift forward.
Qiao Sang and Teacher Mi Jiala followed behind.
After walking two steps, a man who was one meter nine tall, with a crew cut and triangular eyes, blocked the way, looked at Teacher Mi Jiala, and said:
"I want to rent this Bao Wuwu for a month. You name a price."
Teacher Mi Jiala said calmly:
"It is not my pet beast."
The man frowned: "Then where is its Beast Tamer?"
I really want to know what reaction the other party would have if they knew the person they were talking to was an S-rank Beast Tamer... Qiao Sang coughed and said:
"Not renting, please move aside."
The man looked over, as if he had only just noticed there was another person on the side. He showed an expression of dissatisfaction, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, but before the sound could come out, his head was suddenly hit hard, his eyes went white, and he fainted to the ground.
This... Qiao Sang looked at the Bao Wuwu in front that was still glowing with purple light, showing an expression of astonishment.
"Wuwu."
The purple light on Bao Wuwu's body dissipated, leaving only the purple light in its eyes, and it let out a cry, indicating that no one was disturbing them anymore, let's continue.
After saying this, it turned around and continued to lead the way.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Teacher Mi Jiala: "..."
