Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Chapter 150 It Has a Beast Tamer

“Although the Lamp Wick might sustain someone for a while, as soon as the energy contained within it is depleted or the Lamp Wick is removed, the person will instantly die.”

“However, the Lamp Wick cannot be removed carelessly. Once it is taken out, it basically severs the Ghost-absorbing Lantern’s evolutionary path. Removing the Lamp Wick inflicts permanent damage to the foundations of the Ghost-absorbing Lantern.”

Qiao Sang paused, “Didn’t you say earlier that without its Lamp Wick, a Ghost-absorbing Lantern would be like a person without a heart and would die immediately? And you mentioned that the human body wouldn’t be able to handle it.”

Liu Yao: “…”

“It will die, and the human body won’t be able to handle it, it’s just a matter of sooner or later,” Liu Yao forcefully asserted.

Qiao Sang didn’t suspect anything and continued to inquire, “Then how long can the Lamp Wick stay inside the human body at most?”

...

Seeing that Qiao Sang wasn’t dwelling on the issue, Liu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became more relaxed, “It should be about three days.”

Three days…

The timing was off.

Considering the time that the Ghost-absorbing Lantern had been missing, it had already been over half a month…

“What if the Lamp Wick stayed inside the human body for about half a month?” Qiao Sang pondered and asked.

Liu Yao was silent for a moment before answering, “That should be impossible. The energy of the Lamp Wick will be exhausted after three days without replenishment, and once it’s no longer of use in the body, the person will die on the spot.”

“Moreover, without the Lamp Wick, the Ghost-absorbing Lantern wouldn’t be able to sustain itself for long after its energy runs out.”

Having a knowledgeable person nearby really was beneficial; this phone call directly led Qiao Sang to speculate about the whereabouts of the Ghost-absorbing Lantern.

After hanging up, Qiao Sang ordered takeout on the spot.

Since the Lamp Wick would run out of energy and couldn’t remain in the human body for long, the Ghost-absorbing Lantern would definitely return every couple of days to replenish the Lamp Wick’s energy in order to ensure the old lady’s safety.

A Ghost-absorbing Lantern without its Lamp Wick, both trying to accumulate energy to replenish the Lamp Wick and maintain its own actions, would certainly be in a place where Spectral-type Pet Beasts liked to gather.

A Ghost-absorbing Lantern preferred the vital essence, which, without exception, meant young people, places with lots of hormones.

Bars, schools, clubs, or ongoing competition venues would likely be its haunts.

Hangkang City is too big for a search to be convenient. If the Ghost-absorbing Lantern was returning to recharge the Lamp Wick every few days without the old lady knowing, it definitely would come late at night when it was quiet and everyone was asleep.

If things were as she suspected, she could just wait for it to come to her.

If not, since the maximum period for the Lamp Wick to last was three days, and the school team gathering was five days away, there was a two-day difference to come up with another plan.

With this thought, Qiao Sang looked up and asked with a smile, “Yaobao, do you want to rest?”

“Yaobao.”

Yaobao honestly shook its head.

Rest?

No! It had boundless energy!

“No, you want to rest,” Qiao Sang said to Yaobao with a smile.

“Yaobao…”

Yaobao looked back at her, dumbfounded. It didn’t want to…

One minute later.

Xiying Residential Area.

In the shaded area beside the gate of Building 5.

A majestic Pet Beast with a red and white coat lay on the ground, with a slender girl lying on its back.

Qiao Sang was lying on Yaobao, waiting for the takeout with her phone in hand.

Yaobao didn’t want to rest, but she did.

…

9 PM.

Hangkang City.

By the Linhu Reservoir, under the sky bridge.

Many people came from all around heading this way and then never came out again.

If one looked closely, they would discover a hidden door at the base of the sky bridge.

The door automatically opened, inside was a buzz of voices, bustling with excitement, a completely different world from outside.

This was an underground Beast Taming black-market competition venue.
