"Start." Qiao Sang turned her head to look at Baowuwu.
"Wuwu." Baowuwu nodded, and its eyes glowed with purple light.
Some people in the surrounding area looked over with dark expressions, clearly, they had already recognized Baowuwu.
Qiao Sang scanned the surroundings, then promptly let go and placed Yabao on the ground.
One lesson she had learned on Chaosu Star was that in the wild, one should not hide or tuck things away. Directly summoning a powerful pet and having it grow large beside you could avoid a lot of trouble.
Yabao understood his Tamer's intent, and his body began to slowly expand.
When his size surpassed ten meters, the surrounding air seemed to freeze. Everyone looked up, gasping for breath. They collectively averted their eyes, not daring to look further or harbor any more designs on Baowuwu.
Some even found the pressure unbearable and quickly left the area with their pets to search elsewhere.
The goal of most people coming here was to find the Spirit-Passing Cat.
Powerful pets belong to the strong. With a Tamer accompanied by a King-level pet nearby, they knew that even if they found the Spirit-Passing Cat, they wouldn't be able to keep it. Naturally, it was better to search away from a Tamer with a King-level pet.
However, a few Tamers still showed looks of novelty upon seeing a pet they had never encountered before, while others glanced once with calm expressions and continued their business.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure looked on with a face full of envy as he saw others being intimidated by Big Brother Yabao’s massive size.
Yabao lowered his head, his eyes glowing blue. Using telekinesis, he guided his Tamer onto his back.
"Teacher, joining us?" Qiao Sang asked.
Does your Blazing Divine Lion look like it wants me sitting on its back... Mikayla complained inwardly, then said calmly: "No need. I can keep up with Blazing Divine Lion's movements."
After speaking, she suddenly levitated into the air, reaching the same height as Yabao’s back.
Having a psychic pet that can turn invisible is truly great; it’s perfect for acting cool... I should have Little Treasure do that for me sometime... Qiao Sang thought.
Amidst these flashing thoughts, Baowuwu began to move, floating forward.
Yabao followed behind.
Wherever they passed, searching Tamers made way for them.
After about a ten-minute journey, Baowuwu arrived in front of a ruined skyscraper with its steel skeleton exposed.
Looking across, the building was shrouded in clusters of green vines emitting black gas. The hard concrete had become nourishment for the growing, extending roots.
Several Ghost-type pets gnawing on the vines heard the commotion and stopped. They turned to see the abnormally large crimson figure, jumped in fright, and vanished into invisibility.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure floated to the vines emitting black gas and, mimicking the other Ghost-type pets, lowered his head to take a bite.
"Xun xun!"
After just one chew, Little Treasure’s entire face scrunched up. Wearing a look of disgust, he spat it out.
Ebony Vine, an edible plant for Ghost-type pets. Eating it won't cause an upset stomach and it serves to fill the belly. However, Little Treasure had always eaten delicious energy meals, energy pills suited to his taste, and various junk foods; naturally, he couldn't stomach this.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang couldn't help but chuckle.
"Wuwu." Baowuwu pointed at the building.
"It's inside here?" Qiao Sang inquired.
"Wuwu." Baowuwu nodded.
Qiao Sang jumped directly off Yabao’s back, landing steadily on the ground.
Now a B-level Tamer, even without professional physical training, the physical constitution brought by the feedback was enough for her to jump from a height of over ten meters without any issue.
Yabao’s size slowly shrank.
Qiao Sang followed Baowuwu into the building.
Little Treasure, holding the pet egg, hurried to keep up.
Mikayla’s gaze imperceptibly flicked toward a spot two hundred meters away before she flew into the skyscraper.
Two hundred meters away, inside another equally ruined building, a woman with short black hair who appeared to be in her thirties poked her head out. Looking toward the skyscraper in the distance, she asked uncertainly: "Did she see us?"
"Man man." Beside her, a pet about thirty centimeters tall, mostly purple, wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet and looking like an alarm clock, nodded with certainty.
Slow-Slow Clock, a King-level Ghost-type pet with the Slow trait. Everything in the world appeared as if on slow motion in its eyes. An inadvertent action by the opponent was incredibly clear to it.
The woman’s expression instantly turned solemn.
Her Slow-Slow Clock had perfection-level Breath Concealment. Under the influence of the Ghost Mist, even she could hide her aura. To be discovered even then meant this person was clearly much harder to deal with than she had imagined.
"Man man?"
Slow-Slow Clock let out a cry, asking if they were still going to follow.
The woman pondered for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth: "Follow."
Baowuwu could find heavenly treasures and rare pets. Following it gave a much higher probability than finding the Spirit-Passing Cat on her own.
Meanwhile.
Inside the building wrapped in Ebony Vines, Qiao Sang followed behind Baowuwu.
"We're being followed." Mikayla said, coming to her side.
"I know." Qiao Sang was not surprised at all.
"There was one two hundred meters away just now, one at a high altitude three hundred meters away, and another has already followed us inside, it's by the corner about twenty meters behind us."
She paused and added: "The last one has no footsteps, it should be a Ghost-type pet."
Hearing this, Mikayla said with satisfaction: "You are even more alert than I imagined."
Qiao Sang sighed:
"Teacher, you have no idea. In the missions I took to enter Secret Realms to participate in the regional competition, the teammates I met were all unreliable. Last time, you suggested I find a B-level Tamer to go to Secret Realm No. 53 together. At first, she didn't act at all, I had to rely on myself to guard against wild pets. Carrying two dead weights in a Secret Realm by myself, how could my alertness not be high? It's all from practice."
Dead weight Mikayla: ...
Qiao Sang then recalled her previous guess and changed her tone: "But fortunately, the Tamer I hired helped me out a lot later, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to complete the mission so smoothly."
After hearing this, Mikayla felt better. Her brow smoothed out as she said: "Secret Realms are indeed good places for training. I'll select a few more for you to enter and train in later."
Qiao Sang: "...Okay."
"Wuwu!"
Baowuwu stopped ahead, pointing to a Ghost-type pet lying in a corner sleeping and let out a cry.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure immediately leaned in.
Qiao Sang stepped forward, but before she could see clearly what it was, a large swathe of dark, heavy mist eerily surged in.
A massive surge of Yin energy enveloped the building.
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure instantly hugged the pet egg tightly and teleported to his Tamer's side.
"Gangbao." Qiao Sang called out in her mind.
Without a word, Gangbao flapped her wings vigorously. A gale suddenly erupted, blowing away the dark mist.
Qiao Sang looked at the position Baowuwu had previously pointed to.
She saw a brown vine had, at some point, entangled the sleeping Ghost-type pet.
As she looked, it whooshed, hanging the pet in mid-air like a kite.
"Jia jia!"
The entangled Ghost-type pet woke up, wore a panicked expression, and began to struggle desperately.
The dark mist surged again.
Seeing that it was about to envelop the surroundings once more, Qiao Sang spoke: "Aura of Intimidation."
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure’s gaze sharpened, and an invisible pressure descended.
The vine stagnated for a moment.
A faint sound of breathing came from near the window.
Yabao’s ears twitched, and he opened his mouth toward the direction of the breathing.
A beam of red-and-gold light instantly erupted.
The wall blasted open with a boom.
"Zhi zhi!"
A pet about a meter tall, brown all over and looking like a small tree, wearing a lightweight miniature bracelet, was hit by the beam. It screamed as it was sent flying backward, disappearing from view.
The vine vanished, and the mist dissipated.
The previously entangled pet, caught off guard, began to fall.
Qiao Sang was quick-handed, she ran forward and caught it.
"Jia jia..."
The pet, possessing two arms, two legs, three eyes, and a red eye on its forehead, stared blankly at the human who had caught it.
"Are you okay?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Jia jia!"
The three-eyed pet snapped out of it and quickly floated to the side.
It remembered that the human before it had just caught it, so it gave a response after all, shaking its head to say it was fine.
At this moment, Mikayla said: "Masked Puppet, a Mid-level Ghost-type pet. The middle eye can see through illusions, it's considered quite a rare pet."
"Wuwu!"
Baowuwu nodded quite proudly. Anything it found was definitely rare.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure wore a disappointed expression. So it wasn't the Spirit-Passing Cat.
"Jia jia?"
The Masked Puppet seemed to think of something. Looking at Qiao Sang, it suddenly became bashful.
"What is it saying?" Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure and asked.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure gave a sneaky smile and let out a cry.
It asks if you're looking for it because you want to form a contract with it.
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then told the truth: "Not personally."
The Masked Puppet’s face instantly dropped, and it vanished into invisibility.
Qiao Sang, having used Spirit-Visible before, clearly saw the Masked Puppet standing in its original spot, wearing a contemptuous expression of Truly no eye for talent at her.
Qiao Sang: ...
Over the following period, Baowuwu continued its search. During this time, it found one relatively rare Ghost-type pet and two Wan-Yin Crystals that could increase the energy of Ghost-type pets, but found nothing else, let alone the Spirit-Passing Cat.
Little Treasure gnawed on a Wan-Yin Crystal, breathing in the Ghost Mist here, quite enjoying himself.
Baowuwu was beside him, gnawing on the other Wan-Yin Crystal.
Qiao Sang held the pet egg with one hand and took out her phone with the other. Checking the time, she asked: "It’s already very late. Are we staying here or going back to sleep?"
"Yap yap..."
As soon as her voice fell, Yabao let out a yawn.
Mikayla glanced at Little Treasure and said: "We'll leave tomorrow. This environment is good for Ghost Ring King."
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure nodded repeatedly, showing he highly agreed with those words.
Qiao Sang had no objection. Finding a spot in the ruins with cover overhead, she had Little Treasure take several sleeping bags out of his ring, spread them out, and crawled in.
Yabao lay in the sleeping bag next to his Tamer, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Lubao did the same.
Gangbao did not enter a sleeping bag. She flew onto the ruins to stand, eyes closed, appearing as if asleep.
"Xun xun~"
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure had no desire to sleep, floating around the vicinity.
"Wuwu..."
Baowuwu sat on the ground, gazing at the sky with a melancholy face.
"Xun xun?"
Little Treasure floated to its side and gave a cry, asking: What are you thinking about?
"Wuwu..."
Baowuwu let out a cry, saying it didn't know if it would be able to go back when the time came.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure patted its shoulder, wearing a Don't you worry expression. He gave a cry, saying his Tamer is very amazing and will definitely be able to send it back.
"Wuwu..."
Baowuwu glanced in the direction where Qiao Sang was and continued to be melancholy.
Secret Realm Cracks depend on luck, it has nothing to do with how amazing a Tamer is.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure let out a confident cry. What's so hard about a Secret Realm Crack? With his Tamer here, a Secret Realm Crack will definitely appear.
Baowuwu: ...
"Voom!"
Suddenly, the air rippled like fabric. Visibly, a crack appeared in the void, which then slowly opened, tearing a gap of about five meters.
A massive surge of Yin energy emanated from within, as if the gates of hell had been opened.
"Xun xun..."
"Wuwu..."
Little Treasure and Baowuwu stared up blankly.
Qiao Sang and Mikayla opened their eyes at the same time.
Almost simultaneously, within the Ghost Mist at various positions in the town, on the ground, in the ruins, in mid-air, and at high altitudes, countless Secret Realm Cracks exuding Yin energy appeared one after another.
The faces of the people in the town gradually turned pale. Many people's lips began to tremble, their pupils shook violently, and a look of intense fear appeared in their eyes.
Although they had prepared for the appearance of Secret Realm Cracks before coming, the countess cracks appearing in the sky before them clearly exceeded their imagination.
Ghost-type pets of various forms crawled out from the cracks.
At this moment, many people experienced the greatest terror of their lives.
People of the Zidia Region liked Ghost-type pets, yes, but the premise was those controllable ones that could be contracted and nurtured, not these wild Ghost-type pets of unknown temperament.
The aura of fear and despair spread, and the Ghost Mist grew even thicker.
"Secret Realm Cracks! How can there be so many Secret Realm Cracks!"
"Where is the exit! Go back! I want to go back!"
"What is going on? So many Secret Realm Cracks appearing simultaneously, I’ve never heard of this!"
"It's over, it's over..."
---
Beside a ruin covered in cobwebs and dust, a pet about a meter tall, with a black body, a very long white beard, sharp horns on its head, and a lightweight miniature bracelet on its claws, kept its eyes closed.
The auras of fear and despair within the Ghost Mist surged continuously into its body.
Beside it, a cold-looking young man wearing a black T-shirt who appeared to be only around 20 years old looked at it with a gentle expression.
Not enough, still not enough... The young man turned his head toward a pet beside him, about 80 centimeters tall, mostly silver-white, with a tail about twice its height and wearing a lightweight miniature bracelet, and spoke: "A bit more."
The silver-white pet's eyes glowed blue as it looked toward the sky.
An incredibly terrifying energy diffused from its body.
The air vibrated.
Simultaneously, at various positions across the town, more cracks appeared out of thin air.
