Chapter 1151
Inside the police station, it was in a mess.
Thousands of pets had almost occupied the entire inside and outside of the police station.
Reporters who heard the news rushed into the police station.
"Why did so many pets suddenly appear here? Did a major event happen?"
"I heard the pets appearing here are all pets that went missing in the past; is this true?"
"Bingbing! Bingbing?"
"Can you tell us what exactly happened? I just saw a Monitor Bear; is that the one that went missing eight years ago?"
"Jingjing? Jingjing?"
The reporters were blocked outside the police station by a group of police officers; they were all in a state of chaos at this time, so how could they have the energy to deal with these reporters?
The persistent reporters pointed their microphones at the pets that were about to stand out of the police station to ask questions.
Some pets answered excitedly or tearfully, and they actually managed to get some information out.
Shock and astonishment appeared on the reporters' faces, which then turned into excitement and agitation, realizing this was a big news story.
Many reporters conducted live news broadcasts directly.
That evening, the news of the reappearance of the missing pets on Wanbing Island hit the trending searches.
Inside the police station, pets were being asked about their identities, contacting their contracted Beast Tamers or their pets at home.
Qiao Sang was arranged to sit on a soft chair, communicating with the pet family members who were trying to squeeze over.
"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I don't think I would have been able to see the Branch Bud Flower in this lifetime!" an elderly man with gray hair said with tears in his eyes.
"Zhizhi! Zhizhi!" The Branch Bud Flower was also shedding tears on the side.
"A benefactor!" A plump middle-aged woman pushed the old man aside with her butt, excitedly held Qiao Sang's hands, and said gratefully:
"My Illusion Elephant is really thanks to you; you don't know, ever since the Illusion Elephant went missing, I couldn't sleep or eat well, and I've lost so much weight. If you have anything in the future, just come..."
Before she could finish, a white bear-like pet over two meters tall squeezed her out, calling out happily:
"Wenwen!"
"Wenwen!"
Saying this, it took out a bank card and handed it over.
Pets are indeed the most practical... Qiao Sang looked at the bank card and instantly understood the white bear-like pet's meaning.
Just as she was about to refuse, a police officer squeezed over, blocked the surrounding people and pets, and said loudly:
"Those of you who have confirmed your identities, please leave first; there are too many people and pets here, don't all crowd here!"
Driven away by the police, the number of people and pets around Qiao Sang instantly decreased, but batches of people and pets would come in from time to time, soon filling the police station to the brim again.
"Super Xunxun~"
"Super Xunxun~"
Little Xiao Xunbao floated at the entrance of the police station, waving its claws, saying goodbye one by one to the pets it had chatted happily with and was about to leave.
A police officer with white hair at his temples, who looked very experienced, came to Qiao Sang's side and said solemnly:
"It's really thanks to you, otherwise these missing pets would never have been able to return smoothly."
Ever since they learned that Qiao Sang had brought these pets out from the Slag Ice Spirit's place, the people at the police station had all used honorifics.
"You knew it was the Slag Ice Spirit's doing?" Qiao Sang asked.
The police officer sighed and said: "We knew a part of it, but we didn't know the Slag Ice Spirit had frozen so many pets."
Qiao Sang remembered the homestay owner's words and asked again:
"Since you knew, why didn't you send people to rescue them?"
The police officer smiled bitterly:
"All the police on our Wanbing Island combined are no match for the Slag Ice Spirit, and wanting to apply for enough police force to deal with an Emperor-tier pet to come over is not an easy thing. Unless that Emperor-tier pet is truly heinous, the higher-ups basically won't care."
Qiao Sang couldn't help but say:
"The Slag Ice Spirit isn't considered heinous?"
The police officer sighed:
"The Slag Ice Spirit is already considered good; it basically won't leave Wanbing Island. As long as it doesn't see any pets it's interested in, it won't take action."
After a pause, he gestured with his eyes at the various pets chatting in the police station and said:
"You've seen it too; the pets frozen by the Slag Ice Spirit are actually all still alive. Like that Urn Altar, it went missing 21 years ago, and now its vital signs are normal, and its appearance hasn't changed at all from back then."
21 years ago... Qiao Sang widened her eyes and said in astonishment: "Could it be that all creatures frozen by the Slag Ice Spirit don't die?"
The police officer said:
"There's no definitive certification, just speculation. Once, a Beast Tamer was frozen by the Slag Ice Spirit and didn't return until nearly 50 years later. At that time, his appearance hadn't changed at all from 50 years ago. According to him, it was because he had been frozen for too long, and the Slag Ice Spirit had gotten tired of looking at him and was preparing to change to a new batch of ice sculptures, so it threw him out."
At least half of this sentence is fake... Qiao Sang complained in her heart.
She had thawed so many pets herself, so she naturally knew they had no consciousness while frozen and knew nothing. If it weren't for Little Xiao Xunbao telling them, they probably wouldn't even know how they got out of the seabed.
The police officer continued:
"Later, some elderly or terminally ill pets and Beast Tamers heard this news and specifically came to find the Slag Ice Spirit to freeze themselves, wanting to thaw out after a few decades, so tourists surged here for a while. However, the Slag Ice Spirit also has its own standards for freezing targets; it's not willing to freeze just anyone. Later, the number of tourists here decreased again, and as time passed, this news was forgotten by everyone."
"During that period, only one piece of news circulated, saying that the Slag Ice Spirit had frozen a Beast Tamer who was nearly 200 years old. That Beast Tamer only gave birth to a child when she was over 100 years old. Later, her body failed, and knowing she didn't have much time left, her only wish was to see her daughter get married."
"But she wasn't willing to have her daughter just find someone to marry because she didn't have time, so she found the Slag Ice Spirit and begged it to freeze her. I don't know how they negotiated, but the Slag Ice Spirit satisfied her request. Later, when her daughter got married, she appeared at the wedding. This news was also quickly forgotten by everyone; we only saw it when we were looking up information on the Slag Ice Spirit some time ago."
Speaking of this, he felt emotional:
"If it weren't for you bringing so many missing pets over this time, I would have thought both of these things were fake."
So the Slag Ice Spirit's freezing effect also has the function of putting creatures into a dormant state and then resurrecting them after a few decades... Qiao Sang fell silent.
If that's the case, it's no wonder the higher-ups were slow to send people and pets to deal with the Slag Ice Spirit. If the Slag Ice Spirit were willing to cooperate, it could probably help many terminally ill people extend their lives.
Just as she was thinking this, the police officer said in an admiring tone:
"I didn't expect that during my tenure, someone would break into the Slag Ice Spirit's territory alone and rescue all the missing pets. I represent..."
Before he could finish, Qiao Sang interrupted:
"I wasn't alone."
The police officer was stunned: "Is there anyone else?"
Qiao Sang was also stunned, and only then did she remember the thing she had forgotten.
Damn it! Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala!
At the same time.
Under the pitch-black night sky.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala and Penjiamei were suspended in the high sky, staring at the panting Slag Ice Spirit below.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala took out her phone, saw the caller ID, and felt relieved.
It seems the things are already in hand...
"Let's go," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said.
Penjiamei's eyes instantly glowed blue, and it disappeared from where it was with its Beast Tamer.
The Slag Ice Spirit looked at the person and pet that had disappeared in the high sky, silently let out a sigh of relief in its heart, and turned to spread its cold air.
The ground in front instantly froze over with a layer of ice shell.
The Slag Ice Spirit moved its body, sliding forward on the frozen ground.
Above the sea surface.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala looked at the calm everything below, looked around again, picked up her phone, and dialed the call back.
After just one "beep," the call was connected.
"Hello, Teacher, why did the signal suddenly disappear just now?" Qiao Sang's voice came from the speaker.
"I was teleporting just now," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala answered.
"I thought so," Qiao Sang let out a sigh of relief and said: "How could the signal suddenly disappear."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked:
"Where are you now?"
Qiao Sang said apologetically: "I forgot to tell you, I'm at the police station now. When I sent you the message earlier, I thought I would go straight back to the homestay. I didn't expect that the pets that had turned into ice sculptures were still alive after thawing, so I brought them to the police station first."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala was silent for a few seconds and asked:
"You sent me a message?"
Ah? Qiao Sang was stunned: "Didn't you see it? I sent it to you as soon as I came out of Ice Difficulty Island."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked: "When did you come out of Ice Difficulty Island?"
Qiao Sang thought for a while and said: "A few hours ago."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala: "???"
There was no sound from the other end of the phone.
Qiao Sang said "Hello, hello" several times before Teacher Mi Mi Jiala's voice came again:
"Did you find all the Ice Dissolving Crystals?"
Qiao Sang said "Hmm": "I took them all, but I don't know if there's the grade we're looking for."
There were many people and pets around, so it wasn't convenient for her to be too detailed.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala chuckled: "You guys are quite fast."
Qiao Sang felt emotional: "I didn't expect it either; Little Xiao Xunbao's ring can expand to a diameter of about ten meters, and with its telekinesis, it collected them very quickly."
After saying this, her tone became even more emotional:
"There were really so many pets that turned into ice sculptures. If it weren't for Little Xiao Xunbao's ring being big enough, I estimate the ice sculptures wouldn't have fit. Lubao spent a long time thawing the frozen pets and treating them."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala continued to chuckle: "You took the Ice Dissolving Crystals and ice sculptures from the seabed, rescued the frozen pets, and even went to the police station; you've done quite a lot of things."
Why does this tone feel a bit sarcastic... Could it be that the teacher didn't see the message and had been fighting the Slag Ice Spirit all this time... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang hesitated:
"You wouldn't have been fighting the Slag Ice Spirit until now, would you?"
What do you think... Teacher Mi Mi Jiala denied: "No."
After a pause, she added: "I'll go back to the homestay and wait for you."
After saying this, she hung up the phone decisively.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala picked up her phone, opened the chat software, and sure enough, saw the message Qiao Sang had sent.
The time was three hours ago.
Three hours, three hours; she had actually foolishly fought the Slag Ice Spirit for three hours... Teacher Mi Mi Jiala let out a breath of exhaustion and said:
"Let's go back."
"Pen Pen."
Police Station.
Why does Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala feel a bit strange... Qiao Sang stood in a corner outside the police station and put down her phone.
"Momo?"
Long Dawang called out from the side, indicating where Teacher Mi Mi Jiala was now.
"Yaya."
Like Ya Bao helped translate.
"She said she's going back to the homestay to wait for us," Qiao Sang said.
"Momo."
Long Dawang frowned and called out, indicating that she's only going back now; she wouldn't have been fighting that Slag Ice Spirit until now, would she?
Could it be that in these few decades of separation, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala has become weaker?
"Yaya."
Like Ya Bao helped translate.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to say something, a young man walked over quickly with Cool Frog.
Borrowing the light coming from inside the police station, she instantly recognized that the other party was the homestay owner where she was currently staying.
The young man stopped in front of her, looked over, and an excited and reverent expression appeared on his pale face, saying:
"Thank you so much! I didn't expect you guys to really be able to rescue Cool Frog."
After saying this, he looked to the side and asked:
"Where is the other senior?"
Being able to rescue so many pets in the Slag Ice Spirit's territory, calling them seniors is always correct.
It seems Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala didn't return to the homestay before... Qiao Sang said: "She should have returned to the homestay by now."
"That's perfect, let's go back together then," the young man said immediately: "When I go back, I'll make our best dishes for you with Cool Frog."
My stomach does seem a bit hungry... Qiao Sang nodded and said: "Okay."
After saying this, she looked at Little Xiao Xunbao, who was still saying goodbye to the pets at the entrance, and shouted:
"Little Xiao Xunbao, let's go back."
"Super Xunxun..."
Little Xiao Xunbao waved its claws at the pets it was chatting with, called out, indicating that its Beast Tamer was calling it back, and let's meet again if there's a chance in the future.
The surrounding pets revealed expressions of reluctance and "we will definitely meet again," calling out one after another.
"Super Xunxun~"
Little Xiao Xunbao felt everyone's reluctance toward it, was stunned for a moment, curved its eyes, and waved its claws.
At the same time, the golden ring on its body revealed an increasingly metallic luster.
Homestay.
Suite.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala and Long Dawang looked at each other.
Long Dawang suddenly snorted and turned its head away.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala: "???"
Little Xiao Xunbao burrowed into the enlarged ring and poured out the crystals one by one.
Soon, the floor of the room was almost piled full.
Even though Teacher Mi Mi Jiala was mentally prepared, she still revealed a look of astonishment: "So many?"
Qiao Sang smiled: "Little Xiao Xunbao emptied that place."
"Super Xunxun~"
Little Xiao Xunbao nodded proudly.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala scanned the crystals with her eyes while saying: "Find all the Ice Dissolving Crystals; I'll find a professional appraiser to appraise them later."
"Okay," Qiao Sang said while starting to categorize the crystals.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala sat cross-legged on the floor, helping with the categorization.
Then she thought of something and said: "Although there are many Ice Dissolving Crystals here, don't hold too much hope; SS-tier materials are one in ten million, not so easy to find."
Qiao Sang had a good mindset and said: "It's okay, even if we don't find it, we still have more than twenty days, we can continue looking."
Even without SS-tier Ice Dissolving Crystals, with so many Water-type and Ice-type materials, it's a profit no matter how you think about it.
