"A person?" Qiao Sang was taken aback, his face becoming serious as he couldnāt help but hold the pet beast egg tighter.
Wild spectral-type pet beasts absorb negative energy, and someone deliberately not letting others out so that a spectral-type pet can absorb negative energy are completely different situations.
The latter is far more serious.
After a good while, Qiao Sang voiced his suspicion:
"Could this secret realm rift be man-made?"
Logically speaking, when so many secret realm rifts appear, a normal personās first reaction would either be to run away or to fight, rather than thinking about closing off the space to collect and absorb negative energy.
If the purpose of coming in was for a spectral-type pet to absorb negative energy, it would have started absorbing right upon entry, not waited until now.
This situation seems more like someone knew in advance that a secret realm rift would appear, hence the spatial closure and energy absorption were carried out.
Mikaela was silent for a few seconds before saying in a deep voice:
"There is a skill called Space Vibration among superpower pet beasts. Itās a super-level skill that can make the space within a certain area unstable, generating vibrations. If the skill level is high enough, the sense of vibration can disappear. If it gets higher, thereās a chance to create rifts in the space, depending on how stable it is."
She paused, her gaze shifting to the high sky where those secret realm rifts stretched, and added:
"This Lost Town has secret realm rifts appearing every day. Clearly, the space is unstable. If a superpower pet beast used a space vibration here, itās indeed possible for so many secret realm rifts to appear simultaneously."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sangās first thought was: Damn, as expected!
The second thought was:
A superpower pet beast capable of space vibration, coupled with a spectral-type pet beast capable of absorbing negative energy on such a large scale, this person is probably not simple.
Qiao Sang looked at Mikaela and asked, "Teacher, should we intervene?"
Statistics show that most pet beasts that can perform super-level skills usually reach the emperor level, and making so many secret realm rifts appear at the same time requires an unknown high skill level in space vibration.
High skill level means a long training period, and a long training period suggests that this pet beast is undoubtedly old, with a substantial possibility of being emperor level or above.
Not to mention the beast tamer behind it, just the superpower pet beast itself canāt be managed by anyone but Teacher Mikaela, the S-rank Beastmaster.
Mikaela suddenly smiled and said:
"This is a great training opportunity. You go and find this person."
Qiao Sang: "???"
"Just me?" Qiao Sang probed.
Mikaela looked over:
"Iāll step in when itās necessary."
With this assurance, Qiao Sang felt relieved and looked at Little Treasure Hunter, loudly saying:
"Use Magic Shadow to absorb energy."
After a pause, she added:
"Go to a conspicuous place."
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter nodded and controlled the Giant Ghost Ring King to rise into the air, joining its paws together.
The size of the Giant Ghost Ring King began to grow visibly, reaching about 60 meters.
In an instant, everyoneās eyes, both humansā and pet beastsā, focused on it.
Seeing the giant pet beast of about 60 meters, everyoneās inner fear was palpable. Even some of the previously calm beast tamers couldnāt help but change their expressions.
"What, what kind of pet beast is this?"
"Damn, itās over! Weāre doomed!"
"Ah! I want to go home! Iāll never look for the Spirit Crossing Cat again!"
"Everyone, donāt panic! This is just a Dark Magic Shadow, and this pet beast has a beast tamer. Itās here to help us!"
With these words, everyone shifted from despair to joy.
What they thought was an enemy turned out to be an ally. Although they didnāt know what this pet beast was called, one capable of manifesting such a large Dark Magic Shadow surely had extraordinary power.
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, the Giant Ghost Ring King opened its mouth and sucked, the energy within the ghost fog instantly surged into its mouth like a tide.
This... everyone was initially bewildered, then their expressions changed sharply as they began to curse loudly:
"Weāre fighting for our lives here, and youāre taking the opportunity to absorb negative energy!"
"Whose pet beast is this, have the guts to step forward!"
"Absorbing so much, arenāt you afraid of bursting your spectral-type pet beast?"
During this time, some wild spectral-type pet beasts launched attacks.
People had no choice but to start responding, yet even so, they didnāt stop cursing:
"If you have the guts to let your pet beast absorb, why not step forward! Come out, I dare you!"
"Look up there! Itās that foreigner! I saw all along that she came with this spectral-type pet beast!"
