Chapter 160

Black-Black Mud, a Ground-type pet beast, is covered in black mud. Because it is black all over, its sclera and teeth look exceptionally white.

Its racial limit can only evolve to a high-level pet beast. It stands to reason that no Beast Tamer would be willing to contract it, but in reality, there are quite a few Beast Tamers who contract it every year.

Because it is easy to raise, it can fill its stomach by eating dirt.

Therefore, most Beast Tamers with poor family conditions choose to contract it, while the remaining small portion of Beast Tamers who contract it are attracted by its characteristics.

Independent space and mud-flow transformation.

The former means that as long as things swallowed by Black-Black Mud are not actively absorbed by it, they can be stored in its body without any damage. The latter means its body can transform into mud, and it can drill into any gap.

Adding these two characteristics together, it is simply a master in the field of theft.

"Wake up." After confirming that the pitch-black pet beast in her hand was Black-Black Mud, Qiao Sang lifted it with her hand and shook it, trying to shake it awake.

Seeing it had no effect, she pinched the flesh on its face again.

Black-Black Mud remained like a pile of rotten mud, without any reaction.

It seems it can't be counted on...

Qiao Sang immediately chose not to waste any more time, turned her head, and said to Fang Fang Sisi: "Shouldn't there be a female NPC underneath here? See if she's inside," Qiao Sang reminded.

Although she really wanted to fly to find Like Ya Bao now, such a strange thing had happened, and she only had a little Treasure-Hunting Ghost that had just turned a month old, so naturally, it was better to be cautious.

"Okay..." Fang Fang Sisi came back to her senses, knocked on the ground twice again, and asked loudly: "Is anyone down there?"

No one answered her.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

Still no movement.

Fang Fang Sisi turned around, shook her head, and said: "It seems there's no one inside, let's keep going."

"Wait," Qiao Sang said.

"What..." Fang Fang Sisi looked at Qiao Sang's movements, her words choked in her throat, and she sat on the ground in terror, her hands supporting the ground as she retreated several meters.

Only to see Qiao Sang reach out and pat the air above her head, and then a gray-yellow pet beast without legs appeared out of thin air on her head.

A, a Ghost-type pet beast!

Fang Fang Sisi's heart beat wildly, and she widened her eyes. The reason she wasn't afraid of this escape room before was that she knew all the horror settings inside clearly and knew some of the NPCs.

But this didn't mean she was brave!

The Ghost-type pet beast that appeared on Qiao Sang's head was simply not an NPC in the escape room!

The inexplicably appearing Ghost-type pet beast, plus the unease of not being able to summon the Cotton-Sun Jie Worm back, and the terrifying atmosphere around, directly brought Fang Fang Sisi's heart to her throat.

Just at this moment, Qiao Sang said: "Little Treasure-Hunting, you go down and take a look."

"Xun~"

The little Treasure-Hunting Ghost nodded and floated under the stone slab.

Fang Fang Sisi was stunned, forgetting how to think for a moment. What the heck?

Little Treasure-Hunting?

Treasure-Hunting Ghost?!

That's right, this Ghost-type pet beast seems to be a Treasure-Hunting Ghost...

But the problem is, why can Qiao Sang command it?!

Fang Fang Sisi swallowed her saliva, looked at Qiao Sang with complex eyes, and said: "This Treasure-Hunting Ghost is?"

"It's my pet beast." Qiao Sang looked at Fang Fang Sisi, paused, and asked: "Why did you run so far?"

Fang Fang Sisi: "...!"

You tell me why!

"Treasure-Hunting Ghost, your pet beast?" Fang Fang Sisi confirmed in disbelief.

"Yes."

"You've contracted two pet beasts?!" Fang Fang Sisi raised her volume instantly.

"Yes, I know you want to praise me, but now is not the time to praise me. Finding Like Ya Bao and the Cotton-Sun Jie Worm is the priority," Qiao Sang said calmly.

Fang Fang Sisi: "..."

She didn't want to talk anymore.

Soon, the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost floated out from the stone slab.

"Xun."

"Xun-xun." The little Treasure-Hunting Ghost came to its Beast Tamer and gestured.

"You said she's lying on the ground with her eyes closed?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Xun." The little Treasure-Hunting Ghost nodded.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds and continued to ask: "Is she still alive?"

Fang Fang Sisi: "!!!"

Holy crap! Why ask such a scary question suddenly!

"Xun."

The little Treasure-Hunting Ghost nodded.

Fang Fang Sisi breathed a sigh of relief on the side. Thank goodness, thank goodness...

The two set off toward the prop room not far away that had been burned almost completely. This was the house that the Number 2 NPC ran out of, and it was also the only way to the second level.

The house was burned almost completely, but the passage was still there.

Fang Fang Sisi led the way with a flashlight, and Qiao Sang followed behind, holding Black-Black Mud.

Black-Black Mud wasn't heavy, and pet beasts have much better recovery than humans. Thinking that maybe it would wake up in a while, Qiao Sang brought it along.

"We're here," Fang Fang Sisi stopped at a wall.

Qiao Sang looked over and saw Fang Fang Sisi groping on the wall for a moment, and then the stone slab on the ground suddenly moved away.

It seemed to be stuck by something when it moved halfway.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang stepped forward, put her phone on the ground, held Black-Black Mud with her left hand, and picked up the obstacle with her right hand and threw it to the side.

"Hiss..." Fang Fang Sisi gasped at Qiao Sang's actions.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang picked up her phone and asked.

"Nothing, let's hurry up and go," Fang Fang Sisi said, looked at Qiao Sang with admiration, and hurriedly went down the passage.

Qiao Sang noticed Fang Fang Sisi's abnormality but didn't ask more and followed closely.

The little Treasure-Hunting Ghost walked at the end.

It didn't go down the passage immediately, but floated to the side of the obstacle that had been thrown aside by its Beast Tamer, blinked its eyes and looked at it twice, and only then floated into the passage.

Just as the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost disappeared at the entrance of the passage, the stone slab that had been opened earlier closed slowly and automatically again.

After climbing through the passage.

Qiao Sang took her phone and shone it forward, discovering that the layout inside was actually a sewer.

Before she could observe more, Fang Fang Sisi suddenly said: "Do you know what that thing you threw just now was?"

Although she wasn't interested, Qiao Sang gave her face and took the conversation: "What was it?"

"Masked Wanderer, the boss among the NPCs in the first level. You can only enter the second level after beating it," Fang Fang Sisi looked at Qiao Sang with admiration.

Her former deskmate is simply too cool! Throwing a Ghost-type pet beast without changing her expression, just like throwing a rag!

This courage! This spirit!

It's no wonder she dared to contract a Fire-type pet beast and a Ghost-type pet beast as her first two.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a long while: "You said that was a Masked Wanderer?"

"Yes," Fang Fang Sisi nodded.

Qiao Sang was silent for a while. No wonder the feel was so strange...

But why was it unconscious? Was it caused by Like Ya Bao's Meteor Shower or some other reason?

Just as Qiao Sang was thinking, the sewer on the side suddenly made a sound similar to a baby crying. Then, a pair of hands covered in red liquid stretched out from the water surface of the sewer.

Because the water surface where the hands stretched out was behind Qiao Sang and Fang Fang Sisi, they didn't see it immediately.

The little Treasure-Hunting Ghost saw it.

It floated to the side of these hands, tilted its head and looked curiously, then stretched out its claws and pulled the hands covered in red liquid out of the sewer, then leaned close and sniffed with its nose.

"Xun..."

The next second, the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost threw the hands back into the sewer with a look of disgust.

Hands: "???"
