Chapter 90: Could I Have Guessed Wrong?

But the next second, Qiao Sang found herself in a dilemma.

How was she supposed to take the 5 million away?

She had impulsively tied up the 5 million, but now, as she had feared, how was she supposed to get down the mountain?

Even if she dragged the 5 million for a while, what if the Stone Helmet Spirit and the Silver-Tailed Sea Snake realized their Beast Master was missing?

Beast Masters and their pet beasts had a mutual sense of each other, and the more developed their brain regions, the farther they could sense.

This 5 million had a General-level Silver-Tailed Sea Snake, so the Beast Master's level was definitely not below D, and might even be a C-level Beast Master who had passed the Alliance's assessment.

If it was indeed a C-level Beast Master, no matter where on the mountain his pet beast was, as long as he moved, he could still sense it even after going down the mountain.

In that case, it was impossible to directly take the 5 million down the mountain, and Little Treasure Seeker hadn't returned yet.

She wasn't a C-level Beast Master, and if she went too far, Little Treasure Seeker might not be able to find her.

Qiao Sang felt a headache. Her personality wasn't like this before; she felt she had become a bit impulsive recently. They say that one who stays close to ink gets stained black. Who had she been staying close to?

"Ya!"

Fire Fang Dog's bark pulled Qiao Sang back from her thoughts.

"Ya ya."

Fire Fang Dog barked loudly at its Beast Master.

Should it set the man on fire?

Its eyes were bright, full of enthusiasm.

"No! Although he's not a good person, burning him to death isn't right. We should leave it to the police." Qiao Sang quickly stopped it, fearing that Fire Fang Dog might impulsively set him on fire.

Fire Fang Dog tilted its head.

So it would burn him to death? It thought it would be like a fight, where he would just get injured and pass out.

"Zi?"

At this moment, the mother and son Magnetic Rats also came up, looking at the man on the ground with his hands tied up, confused.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment, unable to come up with a better idea, and decided to call the police again.

"Hello, this is the 660 Emergency Service. Your call will be recorded."

It connected!

Qiao Sang was taken aback and quickly said, "This is Jiajin County, Qitang Town, Huangming Mountain. Zhou Xian, the A-level wanted criminal, is here. Hurry up and..."

"Beep beep beep..."

Before she could finish, the call was disconnected.

The summer heat and the rush of adrenaline had soaked her back, but at this moment, the air suddenly turned cool, giving her a chill.

A shadow loomed over Qiao Sang. She instinctively tightened her phone, which was still by her ear, and slowly looked up.

...

Qitang Town.

Police Station.

"Hello, this is the Qitang Police Station of Jiajin County." The operator picked up the phone.

"..."

Qitang Town's police station had two teams, with one on duty each day.

The on-duty police officers were divided into two types: administrative and street patrol officers, and case officers.

The former worked on cases and responded to calls during the day, while the latter had to respond to cases 24/7.

However, since all the police officers in Qitang Town were Beast Masters, and most of the town's residents were ordinary people, the on-duty police officers usually handled cases with ease, and it was rare for both teams to be dispatched at the same time.

But at this moment, both teams were dispatched.

Four police cars, three flying pet beasts—a Fat Home Pigeon, a Wind Carving, and a Roaring Sparrow—were all heading in the same direction.

On the Wind Carving.

"That Guangbei, what a mouth! Whatever he mentions, it happens. Zhou Xian came to our place out of all the places in Hanggang. What bad luck." The middle-aged woman sighed.

"Can we really capture Zhou Xian? His file says he's a C-level Beast Master with two General-level pet beasts." Ye Ranran was worried.

"We can't." The middle-aged woman said.

Ye Ranran: "..."

The middle-aged woman paused and continued, "We should have kept an eye on Zhou Xian and called for backup, but we can't get through to the person who called."

There was a moment of silence.

After a while, Ye Ranran said, "Although it's not right to say this, my cousin went to Huangming Mountain a few days ago and came back safely without encountering anyone."

The middle-aged woman said, "Yes, I heard the caller was a girl. I wonder how she's doing now."

...

On Huangming Mountain.

Qiao Sang looked up, her heart tightening at the sight of the purple round eyes staring at her.

A Stone Helmet Spirit?

Where was her Little Treasure Seeker?

Qiao Sang looked around.

Little Treasure Seeker wobbled out from behind the Stone Helmet Spirit, its gray cheeks flushed.

It slowly floated to Qiao Sang's head, found a comfortable position, and closed its eyes, looking drunk.

As long as it's okay...

Qiao Sang calmed down and, with a wave of her right hand, stored Little Treasure Seeker in the Beast Master's Codex for the first time.

The Stone Helmet Spirit narrowed its purple round eyes and looked at its owner on the ground.

His head had a big bump, and his hands were tied, looking even worse than before.

"Stone Helmet! Stone Helmet!"

The Stone Helmet Spirit called angrily.

Its purple pupils suddenly contracted, and its eyes glowed purple.

In the next moment, its figure disappeared, and the ground around it quickly turned black and expanded, stopping at a radius of about 4 meters.

Qiao Sang's heart sank.

It was the Night Spirit Feast.

Unlike the Dream Eater skill, which consumes the dreams of sleeping targets to heal itself, the Night Spirit Feast can drag conscious targets into the night and harm them to restore its energy.

It could be considered an advanced version of the Dream Eater skill.

Qiao Sang's expression turned serious.

What should she do?

Fire Fang Dog couldn't stand up to the Stone Helmet Spirit. Was she going to be stuck here?

The Stone Helmet Spirit was so easy to trick. Would giving it a bottle of milk work now?

But the milk was all in Little Treasure Seeker's ring...

Just as Qiao Sang's thoughts were racing, Fire Fang Dog jumped onto the man, its mouth opening, and its sharp teeth enveloped in flames.

"Ya!"

"Ya ya!"

Fire Fang Dog lowered its head to the man's neck, its eyes scanning the surroundings, its voice threatening.

Qiao Sang was stunned by Fire Fang Dog's actions for a moment.

Damn!

How could her innocent and cute Ya Ba be so... smart!

When did it learn this?

It felt like she had seen it somewhere before...

At the same time, the mother and son Magnetic Rats also found the scene familiar.

"Stone Helmet!"

"Stone Helmet!"

The Stone Helmet Spirit quickly reappeared, fearing that its owner would be killed if it was too late.

"Ya Ba, just stay in that position and don't move!" Qiao Sang said excitedly.

"Ya!"

Fire Fang Dog nodded, keeping its head lowered.

It understood that this ghostly creature had to surrender, just like its Beast Master had done with the Magnetic Rats.

"Cancel the skill." Qiao Sang took the opportunity to demand.

"Stone Helmet."

The Stone Helmet Spirit nodded, and the blackness on the ground gradually dissipated.

"Take out whatever is blocking the signal." Qiao Sang said.

Earlier, she could make a call, but when the Stone Helmet Spirit appeared, the signal suddenly disappeared. She strongly suspected it was related to the Stone Helmet Spirit.

"Stone Helmet?"

The Stone Helmet Spirit tilted its head, not understanding what she meant.

Qiao Sang was surprised by the Stone Helmet Spirit's reaction. Could she have guessed wrong?

At that moment, a yellow flying pet beast with a half-bald wing appeared, limping, in Qiao Sang's line of sight.
