Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 164: Mysterious Cicada with Three Eyes (Three Chapters Combined)_3

A Cotton Caterpillar covered in red liquid with an indistinctive appearance, showing only a pair of round eyes, materialized before them.

"Jie?"

The Cotton Caterpillar cocked its head curiously, wondering why it had suddenly changed locations.

"Mian Mian!" The moment she saw the Cotton Caterpillar, Fang Sisi lunged forward to embrace it and cried out with a sob:

"Wuu... I thought I would never see you again..."

"Jie Jie."

The Cotton Caterpillar looked bewildered, unsure of what had happened.

Qiao Sang watched them with a slight frown, lost in thought.

When they were outside the secret chamber, no one could summon their Pet Beasts, but inside they could. It must be something wrong with the outer layer of the secret chamber, the inside was fine.

But why couldn\'t Yaobao be summoned back?

Qiao Sang felt anxious, inadvertently exerting more force in her hands.

Just at that moment, the black mud slowly opened its eyes, awakened by pain.

"Black Mud!"

The black mud flowed out of Qiao Sang\'s hands like liquid, returning to its original form and looked over cautiously.

"Black Mud! Black Mud!"

Qiao Sang\'s eyes lit up, finally awake! Her effort to carry it for so long had not been in vain!

"I\'m the Beast Tamer of the Flame Listening Dog. You have just seen it, the Pet Beast with white and red fur," Qiao Sang inquired, "Do you know where it went? What exactly happened just now? Why did you faint?"

Black Mud seemed startled, as if recalling something. With its mouth wide open and its stomach suddenly inflated, it spat out a Pet Beast covered in black mud.

"It\'s the Flame Listening Dog!" Fang Sisi, holding the Cotton Caterpillar, looked over and exclaimed in surprise.

Qiao Sang was dumbfounded for a moment, staring at the Pet Beast that had been spat out onto the ground, at a loss for words.

What the hell! This is Yaobao!

She had considered many scenarios, but had never imagined Yaobao would be inside the belly of Black Mud!

So it turned out she had been carrying Yaobao all along while searching for him!

Yaobao was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, drool hanging from his mouth.

Qiao Sang: "..."

She had frantically searched for him, and he was just here sleeping?

Unable to contain herself, Qiao Sang crouched down, grabbed Yaobao\'s ear, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Wake up! Shuilu Yana is here again!"

"Ya!"

Yaobao\'s eyes snapped open, and he leaped to his feet, his fur standing on end, ready for battle.

"Ya!"

"Ya!"

Yaobao looked around frantically. Where, where! Where is Shuilu Yana!

Qiao Sang: "..."

Not bad, seems he wasn\'t hurt, and still quite spirited...

...

Ten minutes later, Qiao Sang finally had a rough understanding of the events.

Yaobao had caused a fire at the first checkpoint, so Black Mud initiated Plan B for special circumstances, intending to use its special trait to take Yaobao to the next checkpoint. But just as it had engulfed Yaobao, for some reason it fainted.

"Qiao Sang, I have a feeling something\'s not right here," said Fang Sisi, still holding the puzzled-looking Cotton Caterpillar as she turned to Qiao Sang to seek her opinion.

In the end, the Beast Taming society was still a place where the strong ruled.

In the past, Fang Sisi would have decided on her own whether to let the Cotton Caterpillar continue to work in the third checkpoint\'s secret room or take it out. But now, she subconsciously wanted to act according to Qiao Sang\'s judgment.

"Let\'s get out of here for now," Qiao Sang said.

There were just too many things wrong here. It was understandable that Yaobao couldn\'t be summoned back while inside Black Mud.

Yet the other Beast Tamers outside the secret chamber couldn\'t summon their Pet Beasts either, and those beasts were not in Black Mud\'s belly, that was one issue.

Secondly, judging by Yaobao\'s state with drool coming out of his mouth, he had definitely been asleep before entering Black Mud\'s belly, otherwise he wouldn\'t have been able to sleep if he was awake when being swallowed.

Moreover, not just Yaobao, but Black Mud, the female NPC under the stone floor, and the masked spectral spirit at the entrance of the passage all fell asleep.

And thirdly, where had the staff in the secret chamber gone?

Normally with all the monitoring there, she and Fang Sisi should have been spotted the moment they broke in, but so far no staff had shown up.

Qiao Sang and Fang Sisi headed back in the direction they came from.

Just then, the ambient lighting that illuminated the waterway flickered, and a Pet Beast with a purple body, three sharp horns on its head, and a pair of blood-red eyes appeared out of thin air.

At the same time, in the surveillance room, the monitor screens for the first and second checkpoint rooms came back to life.

...

Hangkang City.
