Chapter 88: This is 5 million!

Without the narrow mountain path, what appeared before Qiaosang was a vast green open area.

At a glance, she immediately saw two wild pet beasts.

On the grass, a Lijian Sparrow was chasing a Saddled Velvetworm.

A normal Lijian Sparrow is about 14 centimeters long, but the one in front of her was fat and obviously overfed.

It was about 25 centimeters long, with a body mostly grape gray-brown, a chestnut-brown head, and a black stripe running from its head to the tip of its tail.

Its beak was particularly long and sharp compared to its body size.

Lijian Sparrows are social pet beasts; even if there were few on the mountain, there would certainly be others nearby.

Qiaosang didn't think about fighting these two wild pet beasts.

A flying-type pet beast not flying but chasing a slow-moving bug-type pet beast on the ground, and deliberately not catching it, clearly indicated they knew each other and were playing.

She didn't want to be the bad guy interrupting their fun.

The Lijian Sparrow, which was on a diet, sensed Qiaosang's presence.

Seeing that it was the mother and child MagneMouse, it ignored them and continued its dieting efforts.

After crossing half of the area, the mother MagneMouse stopped.

"Magne."

She pointed to three trees in the area, each with half of their green fruits still remaining, and called out.

Qiaosang, looking at the scene, couldn't move her feet.

These fruits are called Fullness Fruits.

Eating one doesn't have any special effects, but it can replace three meals.

If funds were tight and one couldn't afford to feed a pet beast, buying Fullness Fruits would ensure the pet beast wouldn't want to eat anything else after one a day.

Of course, this only works for pet beasts below the Advanced level.

Studies show that once a pet beast reaches the Advanced level, it needs to eat three Fullness Fruits a day to be effective, and at the Champion level, it needs six.

However, many Beast Tamers still choose to buy Fullness Fruits to save money.

As a wealthy person, Qiaosang wasn't stopped by the Fullness Fruits.

She stiffened, staring at the huge black and silver figure in front of her.

Who could tell her why there was a Champion-level Silver-Tailed Seasnake on Huangming Mountain?

In the middle of the Fullness Fruit tree, a giant snake-like pet beast about four meters long was coiled. The first three-quarters of its body were black, and the remaining tail end was cold silver.

As the third evolutionary form of the Short-Tailed Snake, Qiaosang was familiar with it.

The first evolution of the Short-Tailed Snake is the Long-Tailed Snake, and the second evolution can only be the Silver-Tailed Snake.

But the third evolution of the Silver-Tailed Snake has two forms.

One is the Poisonous Black Python, a pure Poison-type pet beast, and the other is the Water-Poison dual-type Silver-Tailed Seasnake.

The Poisonous Black Python is the normal evolution of the Silver-Tailed Snake.

To evolve into a Silver-Tailed Seasnake, two conditions must be met.

First, it must be in the sea, and during evolution, it must have a Poison Dewdrop in its mouth, both of which are essential.

This pet beast should not be on Huangming Mountain!

Taking advantage of the Silver-Tailed Seasnake's closed eyes, Qiaosang picked up the Firefang Puppy, who was still curiously staring at the tree, and quietly retreated.

"Fang?"

The Firefang Puppy looked confused.

Shouldn't they be moving forward?

The little treasure ghost on Qiaosang's head quietly drank milk.

It only wanted to drink milk and had no interest in the fruits.

The mother and child MagneMouse, seeing Qiaosang walking in the opposite direction, paused for a moment and then followed.

Only when they retreated to where the Lijian Sparrow and Saddled Velvetworm were still playing did Qiaosang feel safe.

Encountering a Champion-level pet beast without a Beast Tamer on Huangming Mountain was very unusual.

The mother MagneMouse showed no surprise when she saw the Silver-Tailed Seasnake, indicating she knew it existed.

But this Silver-Tailed Seasnake could not possibly be a wild pet beast.

Not to mention the Poison Dewdrop, the sea condition alone meant that not only Huangming Mountain, but the entire Hanggang City had no sea.

She didn't have time to think much just now, but now, recalling the appearance of the Silver-Tailed Seasnake, it was indeed strange.

Its face was black, so it wasn't noticeable, but the lower half of its silver tail had three deep, untreated, and festering wounds.

A Beast Tamer who could evolve a Short-Tailed Snake into a Silver-Tailed Seasnake would certainly not be unable to afford treatment.

Even if they were temporarily short of money, this is a Champion-level pet beast, and a normal person would take out a loan to treat it.

And there was no Beast Tamer beside it.

Unusual.

Very unusual.

Countless thoughts flooded Qiaosang's mind.

After a moment of contemplation, she took out her phone and called the patrol department.

Two seconds later, Qiaosang's face darkened.

There was no signal...

Huangming Mountain, though a mountain, is not a desolate place. Occasionally, people choose to climb it to watch the sunrise and exercise.

Ye Jingwen once posted on social media while climbing the mountain.

She thought for a moment, then picked up her phone and called the police station.

Two seconds later, Qiaosang panicked.

Why couldn't she call the police station?

Under normal circumstances, even without a signal, one can still call the police because it's an emergency call with a high priority.

The signal here was deliberately blocked, Qiaosang immediately concluded.

The sudden appearance of an injured Silver-Tailed Seasnake without a Beast Tamer, combined with the blocked signal, made Qiaosang sense danger.

She wanted to go down the mountain.

"Magne?"

At this moment, the mother MagneMouse called out in confusion.

Still a bit curious, Qiaosang asked, "Have you seen the Beast Tamer of that Silver-Tailed Seasnake?"

"Magne." The mother MagneMouse shook her head.

Qiaosang had no other questions.

Just as she was about to turn and go down the mountain, the rescued MagneMouse pointed to the left.

"Magne."

"Do you know?" Qiaosang was taken aback.

"Magne."

The MagneMouse nodded.

It had seen the Beast Tamer when it secretly met its mate.

Although Qiaosang was curious about what the Beast Tamer of the Silver-Tailed Seasnake was like and why they didn't treat it and came to the mountain, there were too many things that didn't add up.

She decided to leave first.

"I'm leaving. I don't want the fruits. I hope we meet again." Qiaosang said to the mother and child MagneMouse.

With that, Qiaosang hugged the Firefang Puppy and pushed through the bushes they came through.

When she came out, she saw the mother and child MagneMouse staring at her with wide eyes.

Qiaosang was stunned for a moment, then laughed awkwardly and quickly pushed through the bushes behind her.

In front of her were still the mother and child MagneMouse.

"Magne?"

"Magne?"

The mother and child MagneMouse tilted their heads in the same direction.

Ghost wall!

Qiaosang was completely panicked.

"Fang!"

The Firefang Puppy jumped out of Qiaosang's arms and looked around alertly.

Qiaosang forced herself to calm down.

In this world, any strange occurrence is caused by extraordinary beings.

The scene she encountered could be the result of an illusion cast by a Psychic-type pet beast, a mirror space, or a dream or ghost wall created by a Ghost-type pet beast.

There was a high-level Psychic-type or Ghost-type pet beast on this mountain.

A pet beast capable of such a high-level skill could not be a wild pet beast found in a town.

"Where is the Beast Tamer of that Silver-Tailed Seasnake? Take me to him." Qiaosang said.

"Magne."

The MagneMouse sensed Qiaosang's seriousness and also became serious.

Seven minutes later.

Qiaosang hid behind a tree, her face full of shock as she looked at the pale, unconscious man lying in the grass.

Holy crap!

This is 5 million!
