Qiao Sang felt a sudden shock in her heart. Immediately realizing something, she hurriedly tried to sense through her Beast Codex.

However, there was nothing.

Suppressing her anxious emotions, she waved her hand, attempting to recall Qingbao.

Unfortunately, the page connecting her to Qingbao gave no response whatsoever.

"Qingbao is gone." Qiao Sang said, her face looking grim. 

"The Beast Codex isn't responding either. I can't sense her location, and I can't recall her."

"Yap yap!" Yabao's expression instantly darkened. He looked around vigilantly, adopting a posture ready for battle at any moment.

Lubao didn't say a word, she leaped straight out of the backpack, eyeing their surroundings with equal vigilance.

"Xun xun?!"

Little Treasure wore an incredulous expression, looking left and right as he tried to find Qingbao's figure.

"Lei lei..."

Tingbao realized the danger. Looking around, yellow electric arcs crackled and surfaced all over his body.

Qiao Sang kept a grim face, allowing the electric arcs to make all her hair stand on end.

Gangbao had the calmest expression. Flying high into the air, she flapped her wings and once again blew away all the surrounding white fog.

"Mo mo?"

Moda Power Dragon wore a "how could this happen" expression and let out a call, asking if it should go out to find its leader.

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao called out, helping to translate.

This sentence reminded Qiao Sang. She immediately pulled out her phone and dialed Teacher Mikayla's number.

---

At the same time, in another space.

"Qing qing?"

Qingbao looked at the pet beasts surrounding her, each emitting a powerful aura, their forms generally far more mysterious and magnificent than most species seen outside, completely baffled.

Seeing that these fellows were all staring at her, she pretended to look frightened, turning her head as if to hide beside her Beast Tamer.

However, the moment she turned her head, a genuinely bewildered expression appeared on Qingbao's face.

Where was her Beast Tamer?

And where were Little Treasure and the others?

As thoughts flashed through her mind, her Beast Tamer's voice echoed from above: "Qingbao is gone. The Beast Codex isn't responding either. I can't sense her location, and I can't recall her."

Qingbao raised her head and saw a screen-like display floating in midair, broadcasting her Beast Tamer's movements. Yet her Beast Tamer, Little Treasure, and the others seemed completely unaware of it.

"Qing qing..."

In practically 0.01 seconds, Qingbao realized that she had encountered an unprecedented crisis.

Her mind instantly grew extremely tense, accompanied by an inexplicable hint of excitement, as the wind around her body blew uncontrollably.

"Lei lei."

The pet beast whose eyebrows were so long they hung down felt the sudden wind. It smiled and called out, indicating that it hadn't been wrong.

"Qing qing?"

Qingbao looked at the speaking pet beast and pretended to look frightened, asking if they were the ones who brought her here.

"Yap yap."

The pet beast made entirely of mist pointed at itself and called out, indicating that to be precise, it was the one who brought her in.

Qingbao looked over.

"Ning ning."

The horse-like pet beast with white wings called out, indicating that they meant no harm; they simply wanted to invite her in to join the gathering.

So it wasn't a huge crisis... The slightly excited mood Qingbao had felt strangely died down. She pretended to look naive and called out: "Qing qing?"

A gathering?

The other pet beasts could see that Qingbao was still very young and understood nothing. They all began explaining patiently, one after another.

Amidst the barrage of voices, Qingbao finally understood what was going on.

Every once in a while, Chuanweidaisi, the Tenth Seat, would host a gathering for rare pet beasts to understand their situation, allowing them to raise any needs they had on this day.

Furthermore, because rare pet beasts were few in number and lacked large populations, gathering to get to know each other meant they could look out for one another if anything happened in the future.

"Qing qing..."

Qingbao's eyes sparkled brighter and brighter as she listened.

She liked this kind of gathering, if anything happened in the future, she could ask these powerful pet beasts for help.

It was just a pity that she probably wouldn't stay on Flame Star for very long.

She wondered if these big fellows could accompany her back to Blue Star, so she wouldn’t need to grow stronger herself to go to the secret realm and deal with those two annoying guys.

"Qing qing."

Restraining her thoughts, Qingbao put on a shy expression and called out, saying she hadn't expected them to know about her even though she wasn't a species native to Flame Star.

"Lei lei."

The pet beast with long hanging eyebrows called out, stating that information about her existed within its inherited memories.

Then, realizing something, it pointed at a pet beast among the flowers and grass. That pet beast was about fifty centimeters tall, mostly light green all over, with long green leaves for arms, a ring of golden buds around its neck, a round head, large blue eyes, and white upper eyelashes. It called out: "Lei lei."

Shalala's inherited memories have information on you as well.

Qingbao looked over.

"Xia xia."

Shalala nodded politely.

So that's Shalala... Qingbao put on a friendly expression and smiled at it.

She remembered this name, a few days ago, she had heard the humans who came looking for her Beast Tamer's teacher mention it.

Her Beast Tamer...

Huh? Her Beast Tamer!

"Qing qing!"

Qingbao suddenly remembered her Beast Tamer. She hurriedly pointed at the screen displaying in midair and called out, asking if they could bring her Beast Tamer and her companions in as well, otherwise her Beast Tamer would worry.

As soon as these words came out, the pet beasts looked at each other, many showing shocked and astounded expressions.

It was also at this moment that these pet beasts noticed Qingbao was wearing a white identity bracelet, which meant she had already contracted with a human.

"Yap yap?"

The cat-like pet beast that was mostly pink all over couldn't help but call out.

You actually contracted with a human?

"Qing qing?"

Qingbao blinked her pure eyes and called out.

Is there a problem?

The cat-like pet beast that was mostly pink all over was momentarily rendered speechless.

Naturally, there was nothing wrong with contracting with a human, but rare pet beasts like them possessed high status and were idolized by others. How could she just casually contract with a human? She should strive to become a representative and pride of pet beasts like the Tenth Seat, holding a voice in the Beast Taming Alliance instead.

"Kui kui."

The pet beast covered in golden armor called out, indicating that it wasn't allowed, the Tenth Seat had rules that anyone not on the list could not enter.

"Qing qing?"

Qingbao showed a confused expression.

Was she on the list?

"Kui kui..."

The pet beast covered in golden armor shook its head honestly.

"Qing qing." Qingbao followed up with another call.

Then why could I come in, but my Beast Tamer can't?

"Kui kui..."

The pet beast covered in golden armor was at a loss for how to answer for a moment.

The surrounding pet beasts looked at one another in silence.

"Qing qing..."

Seeing this, Qingbao lowered her head, pretending to look sad.

It won't work, huh...

The group of pet beasts exchanged glances once more, many feeling somewhat at a loss, showing "what should we do" expressions.

"Xia xia."

At this moment, Shalala called out, stating that since they were already contracted, they should just let them in.

The surrounding pet beasts quieted down, none offering any objections.

"Kui kui."

The pet beast covered in golden armor showed a compromising expression, nodded, and indicated that they would do just that.

"Qing qing!"

Qingbao couldn't help but glance at Shalala, thinking to herself that this one clearly carried weight around here. On the surface, she put on a delighted and grateful appearance as she called out.

"Yap yap."

The pet beast made of mist pressed its paws together and channeled energy.

---

Wolin.

With a heavy heart, Qiao Sang put down her phone.

Teacher Mikayla didn't pick up...

"Yabao, Little Treasure, keep sensing this Wolin forest. Gangbao, continue blowing away the surrounding mist." 

After instructing them, Qiao Sang looked at Moda Power Dragon and asked: "What's Dragon King's phone number?"

During their time together, she had seen Dragon King pull out a phone and use it.

"Mo, mo." Moda Power Dragon immediately recited a string of numbers.

"Lu di." Seeing everyone busy, Lubao rarely offered to help translate.

Qiao Sang dialed the number.

After two beeps, the call connected.

"Mo?" Dragon King's majestic voice echoed from the speaker.

Qiao Sang got straight to the point: "Dragon King, it's me. Is Teacher Mikayla beside you? Qingbao went missing in Wolin, and I need Teacher's help."

"Mo!" Dragon King's tone instantly turned serious.

Soon, Teacher Mikayla's voice came through the speaker: "You said Qingqing Ni is missing? You can't sense her with the Beast Codex either?"

Qiao Sang spoke up: "No..."

However, after uttering just one word, the surrounding mist surged wildly once again, completely engulfing her, Yabao, and the others.

Qiao Sang only felt a flash of white before her eyes, and the signal on the other end of the phone cut out completely.

The vast white mist diffused through the forest, thinning out slightly, but within the mist, not a single figure remained.

---

The call abruptly disconnected. Mikayla's first reaction was that the signal was poor, so she redialed, but the call never went through again.

As an S-Rank Beast Tamer with rich experience in real-world training, her heart sank. Realizing something was wrong immediately, she didn't stop to overthink whether Qiao Sang's "No..." meant she hadn't sensed her or hadn't tried sensing yet, and immediately said to Spengami: "We are going to Wolin."

"What happened?" Leon asked.

"Qingqing Ni has gone missing, and I can't contact Qiao Sang." Mikayla said succinctly.

The moment her words landed, Spengami finished its positioning. The two of them, along with Spengami, Dragon King, and a black humanoid pet beast wearing a Lightweight miniature bracelet, vanished from the spot.

Mikayla's eyes went dark, and when light returned, she was already standing in Wolin.

Looking at the vast white mist around her, she subconsciously knitted her brows.

Before Mikayla could speak, Spengami began sensing nearby.

Seeing this, Dragon King held its patience and remained silent.

"Peng peng."

After roughly five seconds, Spengami shook its head and called out, indicating it couldn't sense anything at all.

"Mo mo!"

Dragon King wore a "you're truly useless" expression, flapped its wings, and prepared to fly high into the sky to destroy the entire Wolin forest completely.

In its view, as long as Wolin suffered a certain level of destruction, the fellows staying inside would definitely be unable to sit still and would come out.

Mikayla saw through Dragon King's intention and spoke up: "Calm down first."

"Mo mo!"

Dragon King showed an dissatisfied expression, but ultimately made no further move. It called out, asking what she planned to do instead.

Leon made a sarcastic comment from the side: "Why do I feel like Dragon King was never this nervous back when you encountered danger in the past?"

Dragon King ignored him, fixing its gaze tightly on its Beast Tamer.

Mikayla ignored him as well.

Finding himself snubbed, Leon stopped talking.

Mikayla looked at Spengami and said: "Time Reversal."

Time Reversal, a Super-tier Psychic skill that could rewind events that occurred within a past timeframe, like turning back time to replay the scene.

Its effect was somewhat similar to Psychometry, but the difference was that Time Reversal didn't require touching a specific object, simply standing in place would rewind events that occurred within a certain radius of that location. 

Furthermore, it could replay the scene directly in front of them as if it had just happened, allowing everyone to see it, essentially a super-advanced version of Psychometry.

"Peng peng."

Spengami called out, blue light gleaming in its eyes.

In the next second, the surrounding white mist began to flow in reverse.

---

At the exact same time.

Qiao Sang stared at the drastically changed scene before her, as well as the pet beasts surrounding her that she had only ever seen in books. Her mouth slowly opened, her expression stunned, as relevant information surfaced one by one in her mind, causing her head to buzz:

Wuxika, an ancient pet beast of Flame Star. Its body is formed of mist, granting complete immunity to physical attacks, and it causes enemies to become lost in the mist, unable to find their way out...

Kuihuangling, a Venerable-level Ghost-attribute pet beast of Flame Star. Although it wears armor, the inside of its body is a black hole, like a bottomless abyss. Legend has it that if Kuihuangling takes off its armor and lets anyone see its interior, any living creature will be swallowed inside...

Ningzhi Pegasus, a fossil pet beast of Flame Star, an ancient pet beast resurrected after its fossil was found ten thousand years ago. Because Flame Star's environment is too hot, it cannot survive long-term...

Jujiji, the Venerable-level form of Flame Star's legendary pet beast Juluo Zasi. Possesses ultra-high intelligence, can create objects using psychic power, and is said to be able to see through everything using mental power, knowing a target's entire life from birth to death with just a single glance...

Gaodun Cat, a Phantom Beast of Flame Star, rumored to be capable of creating another world...

For a moment, Qiao Sang felt dazed, various chaotic thoughts echoing in her mind: Who am I? Where is this place? Have I fallen for a trick? Am I currently inside an illusion or dream created by a pet beast? Why would it create this dream for me? Could it be trying to numb my nerves? No, I need to wake up quickly...

"Yap yap!"

Just as she was thinking, Yabao's highly vigilant call sounded beside her, pulling Qiao Sang back to reality.

"Xun xun!"

Immediately following was Little Treasure's pleasantly surprised voice.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang's thoughts came to a halt. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw Qingbao, who had previously disappeared, floating over with a delighted expression: "Qing qing!"

"Qingbao!" Her first reaction was surprise and joy.

Her second reaction was: Could this be part of an illusion?

Qiao Sang hurriedly sensed carefully.

Reaching the level of a B-Rank Beast Tamer, relying on a powerful brain region made it very easy to distinguish whether one had fallen into an illusion or a dream.

Very quickly, Qiao Sang realized that this was neither an illusion nor a dream, but real.

Upon realizing that all of this was real, she suddenly remembered the purpose of Teacher Mikayla and Teacher Leon going out during this period: To search for places where rare pet beasts gather.
