Whenever news of magical beasts gets out, there’s always a group of people trying to capture them. Qiao Sang wasn’t surprised.
After all, extraordinarily rare pet beasts have always been the pursuit of Beast Tamers.
She once encountered Qi Yunla, mainly because few people knew about it. Otherwise, there’s no way a C-rank Beast Tamer would’ve gotten a shot.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, seemingly struck by a thought: "Can we gather information from wild pet beasts?"
Billet didn’t want to directly approach intelligence trade spots to inquire about Adinixi, to avoid being tracked by those groups seeking Adinixi.
Once tracked, even if they’re lucky enough to find Adinixi, those groups would surely stir up trouble, pushing the situation into chaos.
Therefore, it’s best to gather intelligence without attracting attention.
Wanting to stay unnoticed while gathering intelligence, the first thing Qiao Sang thought of was wild pet beasts.
Especially after last night’s experience, she felt there was a chance to communicate well with wild pet beasts.
Billet sighed, "There’s no other choice."
Truthfully, he felt significant obstacles when it came to communicating with wild pet beasts—not due to a language barrier but differing levels of intelligence among species.
Some pet beasts had the intelligence of human infants only a few months old; even if they answered, you wouldn’t know if they were correct, possibly leading to erroneous information and wasted effort.
Some other pet beasts, highly cunning, would intentionally give false information to toy with humans.
If they were on Blue Star, he could discern credible pet beasts by checking their data.
But regarding pet beasts from Chao Su Star, his understanding was limited.
Still, this was the best approach they had now...
...
Five hours later.
In an alley on one side of the street, Qiao Sang held up her phone and asked a pale green, three-tailed rat-like pet beast:
"Have you seen this anywhere?"
The three-tailed rat-like pet beast glanced at the image on the phone screen without speaking.
Understanding its silence, Qiao Sang took out a prepared loaf of bread and handed it over.
"Wei Wei."
The rat-like pet beast accepted the bread, wearing an "I remember now" expression.
Qiao Sang, after experiencing countless deceptions in the last five hours, felt utterly unfazed and asked, "Where?"
"Wei Wei."
The rat-like pet beast pointed to the left, indicating that direction.
Finished, it held the bread and prepared to leave.
"Wait a second." Qiao Sang called out.
The rat-like pet beast turned back, revealing a "What now?" expression.
"You’ve just been cursed. If you lied, you’d experience terrible luck for a while." Qiao Sang’s tone was calm. "Are you sure you saw it in that direction?"
"Jie Jie Jie..."
As her words fell, Xiao Xunbao emerged, revealing a villain-like grin.
"Wei Wei!"
The rat-like pet beast froze momentarily, then tightened its tail, showing a panicked expression, squeaking loudly.
"Ya Ya."
Yaobao translated instantly.
This guy said it didn’t see anything; it just made up the answer.
As expected... Qiao Sang, exhausted, waved her hand, "You can go. There’s no curse."
"Wei Wei..."
Gripping its bread tightly, the rat-like pet beast saw that the human didn’t snatch the bread back. It turned and sprinted away, becoming a flash of white light. Using Flash of Lightning, it climbed the wall and vanished into the alley.
Xiao Xunbao dismissed its villainous expression, concealing itself and its deeds.
At this moment, Billet walked in.
The Famiu Moth stood at the alley entrance, carrying bags filled with various musical instruments and some food.
"Did you find out anything?" Billet asked.
Qiao Sang sighed, "Nope."
"That’s to be expected," Billet replied. "If we can’t get any information, let’s head back to last night’s spot and work with some wild pet beasts that have good voices to keep them singing."
The Thirtieth District’s scale was massive. Depending solely on this method to locate Adinixi felt uncertain... Qiao Sang worried, pondering:
"Is there a pet beast skill that could monitor every corner of the Thirtieth District like cameras?"
Wait! She suddenly realized something, her eyes lighting up:
"How about finding a Gui Manweng!"
...
Beast Taming Center.
Luxury suite.
"All the Beast Tamers assigned to this mission have arrived," a brown-haired young man said respectfully.
An elder leaned against the soft sofa, glancing at the twenty-plus Beast Tamers assembled in front of him without speaking.
A striking black-haired young man beside him spoke smoothly:
"Summon all the Gui Manwengs."
The twenty-plus Beast Tamers performed Seal Gestures simultaneously.
The Beast Taming Center’s luxury suite was spacious enough to hold twenty-plus Gui Manwengs without feeling cramped.
