Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 92 - 88: The Stone Helmet Spirit
Chapter 92: Chapter 88: The Stone Helmet Spirit
At this moment, Qiao Sang realized.
Everything seemed fated in the grand scheme of things.
If she hadn’t returned to her hometown, how could she have possibly gone to rescue the Magnet Rat? Without rescuing it, how could she have coincidentally come to Huangming Mountain? And if she hadn’t come here, how would she have encountered the Magnet Rat’s mother?
Most importantly!
If she hadn’t met the Magnet Rat’s mother, how could she have had the chance to encounter this 5 million!
As the saying goes, “Before heaven confers a great responsibility on a person, it will first wear down their spirit and work their muscles and bones!”
...
Qiao Sang pulled her head back that she had poked out and in passing, hugged the Fire-Toothed Dog that was still peering out.
“Ya?”
“Ci?”
“Ci?”
Three little heads looked at Qiao Sang in unison.
The Treasure-seeking Ghost wasn’t affected in the least, continuing to sip its milk.
It had exhausted too much energy just now and only wanted to replenish.
Qiao Sang tiptoed back to a further distance behind a Chinese parasol tree where she could still observe any movements of the 5 million, relying on it to conceal her tracks.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the feeling of adrenaline pumping and her heart racing with tension and excitement finally started to dissipate.
Qiao Sang calmed down and started analyzing the situation.
He was an at-large murderer; revealing herself would not be a wise choice.

The wanted poster only listed his name, appearance, age, place of birth, and price on his head, along with the incident he was involved in, but it didn’t mention the level of the Beast Tamer or his Pet Beasts.
However, that was to be expected, as the purpose of the police issuing this wanted poster was to alert the public to watch for this person and report his whereabouts, not to hope that the public could catch him.
The safest course of action now was to call the police.
But with no signal and no way to get down the mountain.
For the former, either there was a signal jamming device on the mountain, or the 5 million had a Thunder-type Pet Beast using electromagnetic interference on the signal.
As for the latter, it was unknown if it was a Psychic Series Pet Beast or a Spectral-type Pet Beast causing trouble.
The Magnet Rat had gone in and out after encountering the Silver-tailed Sea Snake and the 5 million.
One thing was certain, such Skills, whether it was Mirror Space or Ghost Hitting the Wall, couldn’t be operational 24 hours a day.
Qiao Sang cautiously looked around the area where the man lay, and saw that the 5 million lay there with his eyes closed, seemingly severely injured, but she couldn’t find any Pet Beast nearby.
This was highly abnormal.
Was it possible for an at-large murderer who was seriously injured to be so unguarded?
“Xiao Xunbao, look over there, other than the lying… man, do you see any other figures?” Qiao Sang said to the Treasure-seeking Ghost.
“Xun.”
The Treasure-seeking Ghost pointed in the direction of the man.
Yes, it had seen it long ago.
Qiao Sang fell into thought.
Sure enough, there was a Pet Beast guarding near the 5 million, and it was a Spectral-type.
Normally, invisible Spectral-type Pet Beasts can’t be seen.
However, as fellow Spectral Series creatures, they could see each other, although not as clearly as when they were visible.
“Magnet Rat, besides the Silver-tailed Sea Snake, have there been any other Pet Beasts appearing on the mountain recently?” Qiao Sang asked.
The Magnet Rat and its offspring shook their heads.
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but think, if that were really the case, it would be great.
The 5 million were now injured; it was unknown whether he was unconscious or asleep, but if there was only one Spectral-type Pet Beast by his side, it would be entirely possible to cause a commotion and lure the Pet Beast away.
The greatest strength of a Beast Tamer is their Pet Beast, yet their greatest weakness is themselves.
The 5 million were currently vulnerable; if she could take the opportunity to tie him up…
Qiao Sang quickly dismissed the idea.
Easier said than done, as there were too many uncertainties in actually taking action.
For starters, how could she lure away that Spectral-type Pet Beast?
If the commotion was too big, what if the 5 million woke up?
And if the 5 million were alert and if there were any Pet Beasts summoned from the Beast Taming Codex, what then?
Lastly, even if the first two events were luckily successful, how would she get down the mountain?
During this time, both the spectral-type pet beast and the silver-tailed sea snake would probably have realized that their beast tamer had disappeared.
As Qiao Sang racked her brain for a strategy, Xiao Xunbao tilted its head and glanced at its beast tamer, then at the spectral creature with a deflated mouth and a bitter look on its face.
It seemed that her beast tamer wanted the spectral creature to go away.
As a sensible Treasure-seeking Ghost, it felt completely necessary to take care of this matter for its beast tamer.
After finishing the last drop of milk, Xiao Xunbao leisurely floated towards the place where the spectral creature was.
“Tooth.”
The Fire-Toothed Dog’s voice pulled Qiao Sang back from her thoughts.
By this time, Xiao Xunbao had already drifted in the direction of the man.
Qiao Sang was dumbfounded, when had Xiao Xunbao gone over?!
What was it doing going over there?
Could it be that it saw a fellow kind and wanted to say hello?
For the moment, Qiao Sang was extremely anxious.
She felt they were about to be exposed…
Wait, she couldn’t admit to knowing the other was a fugitive, not even if she were beaten to death…
Qiao Sang looked over in a panic.
She caught sight of Xiao Xunbao calling out to the air, and then a pet beast about one and a half meters tall, with a stone helmet on its head, exhibiting only one purple round eye on the face that it revealed, materialized.
Qiao Sang recognized this as a high-level pet beast known as the Stone Helmet Spirit.
The reputation of the Stone Helmet Spirit within the spectral-type pets was quite decent; at most, it enjoyed floating its helmet in the air to scare people at night without showing its body.
At this moment, Xiao Xunbao pulled out a bottle of milk from its ring and handed it over.
Qiao Sang was genuinely worried about Xiao Xunbao’s actions.
Why does this kid offer milk to everyone it meets?!
The Stone Helmet Spirit looked fierce and brutal; how could it possibly be persuaded to drink milk?
The next second, Qiao Sang was stunned.
She saw the distant Stone Helmet Spirit cautiously take the milk and start drinking it, after which a row of tears formed in its purple eyes.
Qiao Sang: “…”
What on earth is happening to this world…
What Qiao Sang didn’t know was that the Stone Helmet Spirit hadn’t had a decent meal ever since it went on the run with its beast tamer.
When the Stone Helmet Spirit finished the milk, Xiao Xunbao pointed in a direction and floated over, with the Stone Helmet Spirit closely following, afraid of losing track.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Perhaps in this world, it’s not that beast tamers need pet beasts but rather that pet beasts need beast tamers, otherwise how could they be sold without even knowing it…
All that remained on the expanse of grass ahead was a man with his eyes tightly shut.
Qiao Sang’s heartbeat involuntarily sped up.
Should she go over and bind the five million?
Right now, the five million was completely still, with no pet beast around; this opportunity could be described as once in a blue moon…
But what if he woke up halfway and summoned another pet beast?
No matter!
Heaven wants to bestow wealth upon this person, but first it must test her resolve…
With determination, Qiao Sang untied the laces from her white sneakers, picked up the Fire-Toothed Dog, and quickly ran over.
Looking at the still man before her, she crouched down and swiftly tied his fingers together with the shoelace, binding his hands.
A beast tamer needed to use both hands to form seals to summon a pet beast.
As long as his hands couldn’t form the seals, it would prevent him from summoning a new pet beast.
During the binding, the man’s eyelids twitched slightly, and the Fire-Toothed Dog, which was on high alert, noticed immediately. Without a second thought, it head-butted the man’s head.
The Fire-Toothed Dog had always practiced its head-butting against trees, so the hardness of its head was self-evident; following the impact, the man’s eyelids had barely opened before closing again.
“Well done,” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but praise.
“Tooth,” the Fire-Toothed Dog barked joyfully.
Although it didn’t understand what was happening, it sensed from its beast tamer’s series of actions that this man should not wake up.
After tying a firm knot on the man’s hands, Qiao Sang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
