Chapter 149: It Has a Beast Tamer
"Although this lamp wick might help a person hold on for a period of time, as long as the energy contained inside is exhausted or the lamp wick is extracted, the person will immediately stop breathing."
"However, this lamp wick cannot be taken out randomly. As long as it has been taken out once, it is equivalent to basically cutting off the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's path of evolution. The damage caused by taking the lamp wick to the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's foundation is permanent."
Qiao Sang paused: "Didn't you say earlier that if the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp loses its lamp wick, it's equivalent to a person losing their heart and they will immediately hang up? And you also said the human body wouldn't be able to withstand it."
Liu Yao: "..."
"It will hang up, and the human body will also be unable to withstand it, it's just a matter of sooner or later," Liu Yao said, trying to save face.
Qiao Sang didn't doubt anything and continued to ask: "Then how long can the lamp wick stay in the human body at most?"
Seeing that Qiao Sang didn't dwell on that question, Liu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became relaxed: "It should be about three days."
Three days...
The time is wrong.
According to the time period when the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp went missing, it has clearly been more than half a month...
"What if the lamp wick has been in the human body for about half a month?" Qiao Sang thought and asked.
Liu Yao was silent for a while and replied: "It should be impossible. In three days, the lamp wick's energy will be exhausted without replenishment. If it has no effect in the human body, the person will stop breathing on the spot."
"And if the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp loses its lamp wick, the energy in its body won't be replenished and it won't be able to support itself for long."
It has to be said that it's good to have a knowledgeable person by your side. This phone call gave Qiao Sang a direct guess about the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's whereabouts.
Hanging up the phone, Qiao Sang ordered takeout on the spot.
Since the lamp wick will run out of energy and cannot stay in the human body for a long time, in order to ensure the old lady's safety, the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp must come back every two days to replenish the lamp wick's energy.
The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp without a lamp wick wants to accumulate energy to replenish the lamp wick and maintain its own actions. It must be in some energy gathering place that ghost-type pet beasts like.
What the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp likes is vitality, nothing more than places with young people and lots of hormones.
Bars, schools, clubs, or competition venues currently being held should be where it is.
Hangzhou City is so big that it's too troublesome to search. The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp comes back every few days to replenish the lamp wick, and the old lady doesn't know. It must be late at night when everyone is asleep that it comes over.
If it's really as she guessed, then just wait for the rabbit.
If not, anyway, the deadline for the lamp wick's consumption is at most three days, and the school team assembly is five days later. There is still a two-day time difference in the middle to think of other ways.
Thinking this way, Qiao Sang raised her head and asked with a smile: "Like Ya Bao, do you want to rest?"
"Ya."
Like Ya Bao shook its head honestly.
Rest?
No! It has infinite energy!
"No, you want to rest," Qiao Sang looked at Like Ya Bao and smiled.
"Ya..."
Like Ya Bao looked back blankly. It didn't want to...
One minute later.
Xiying Residential District.
In the shaded area by the gate downstairs in Unit 5.
A majestic red and white pet beast was lying on the ground, and a slender girl was lying on it.
Qiao Sang was lying on Like Ya Bao, holding her phone and waiting for takeout.
Like Ya Bao didn't want to rest, but she did.
9:00 PM.
Hangzhou City.
Linhu Reservoir, under the overpass.
Many people walked from all directions toward this side, and then never came out again.
Looking closer, you would find a hidden door under the overpass.
The door opened automatically, and inside it was bustling with noise and excitement, completely two worlds from the outside.
This is an underground pet beast black competition venue.
The whole venue was filled with the smell of sweat, tobacco, and the scent of hormones.
"Poison Scorpion!"
"Ghost-Absorbing Lamp!"
"Ghost-Absorbing Lamp!"
The audience all around shouted the names of the two pet beasts, with the audience shouting for the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp accounting for the vast majority.
Only to see in the competition venue.
The purple Poison Scorpion lay on the ground motionless.
The referee came to its side and started counting down.
"1."
"2..."
Just at this moment, the Poison Scorpion, whose head was motionless, swung its long tail, and several poison needles shot out from thin air, the silver needle tips shining coldly.
The audience supporting the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp changed color, not expecting that it would still launch a sneak attack at this time!
The attack speed of these poison needles was too fast, and the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp couldn't defend against it. Several poison needles hit its body.
"Ghost-Absorbing Lamp! Finish it for me!" A man with a scar on his face standing at the command post roared.
Everything in front of the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp was blurry, and the sound ringing in its ears also felt like it was drifting from a very far place.
It gasped for air, wanting to operate the lamp wick, but only after feeling its body did it suddenly realize that it no longer had a lamp wick.
"Ghost-Absorbing Lamp, what are you stunned for, finish it!" The scarred man shouted.
"Ghost-Absorb..."
The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp endured the severe pain in its body, slowly raised its claws, condensed a shadow ball, and threw it at the blurry figure on the ground.
"What happened to you at the end, your reaction was so slow," the scarred man complained in the competition backstage.
The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp looked at him expressionlessly.
The man's heart trembled, and his tone changed: "Fortunately, we won later, otherwise we would have worked in vain this time."
The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp didn't speak.
"Here, this is your reward." The man was already used to the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp ignoring him and threw a box over on his own.
The box was thrown in front of the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the man was startled: "Hey, I didn't do it on purpose, you didn't catch it yourself!"
The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's ears were buzzing. It couldn't hear what this person was saying, only knowing that it couldn't fall down now.
"We've been working together for so many days, how come you haven't changed at all? You don't even look at how you would have gotten in to fight if it weren't for me." The man cursed and picked up the box from the ground and handed it to the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp.
Everything in front of the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp was blurry. It tried hard to focus, and finally saw what was in front of it for a moment.
It breathed a sigh of relief. This fight wasn't in vain.
The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp wanted to reach out to take it, but when it moved, it found it had no strength.
"Ghost-Absorb."
The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp called out with a cold face.
The man paused, turned his head to look at the Long-Tailed Snake on the side, and asked: "What did it say?"
"Tail tail."
The Long-Tailed Snake translated.
After listening to the Long-Tailed Snake's words, the man's mouth twitched. He opened the box, took out the thing inside, and stuffed it into the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's mouth.
"You really are a master," the man complained while stuffing.
After the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp swallowed the thing, it finally had some strength, and its senses recovered a bit. It spent the little energy it had to wrap the thing in its body, not wanting it to melt into its own body.
"Are you coming tomorrow?" the man asked.
The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp nodded.
Seeing that the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp was paying attention to him, the man grinned: "You say we've known each other for so long, and you don't even tell me where you're from. You have to know that wild pet beasts are very dangerous here. If you hadn't met me, you would have been caught long ago."
"I think we get along well. Why don't you just wait until I have the next page of the Beast Taming Canon and contract with me."
The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp ignored him and turned to float toward the door.
It is not a wild pet beast; it has a Beast Tamer. ===== CHAPTER 150 =====
