Chapter 1782 - 105: Not Human, but Pet Beast?

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao showed an excited expression and hurriedly ran over.

Although there hadn’t been much combat recently, it still loved these outings.

"Little Treasure Spirit," Qiao Sang called out.

"Xun Xun..." Little Treasure Spirit squeaked while eating a fried egg, indicating it would come immediately.

Then it stuffed the remaining fried egg into its mouth and floated over.

Qiao Sang said:

"We’re going to the Fertile Forest."

In this period, besides the daytime, Little Treasure Spirit roamed around at night, almost completely mapping out Qingguang Island’s geography, knowing exactly where Qiao Sang meant without navigation.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Spirit swallowed the fried egg and let out a sound, indicating no problem.

Its eyes turned blue.

In the next second, Qiao Sang and Yaobao disappeared from their original spot.

...

Qiao Sang’s vision went black, and when it was restored, they found themselves in a misty, white fog.

The thick fog obscured vision, but with her impressive eyesight, Qiao Sang could make out some trees’ outlines through the mist.

Ordinary Beast Tamers probably wouldn’t see anything.

This fog is quite thick... Qiao Sang observed her surroundings and said:

"Qingbao, Favorable Wind."

"Qingqing."

Qingbao puffed up its cheeks, and a fierce wind blew from its mouth.

The surrounding branches and leaves swayed wildly.

The fog surged and was quickly blown away by the wind.

Everything around them instantly became clear.

Towering trees, dense foliage, and flowers of various colors dotted the ground. Apart from no visible pet beasts, there wasn’t much difference from the island’s other forested areas.

As Qiao Sang surveyed the view, various thoughts popped into her head:

Was she deceived?

Probably not, as the other party should be a strong individual like Teacher Mikaela, with no reason to deceive her...

But that’s no reason for certainty, as the world still has many villains. What if that teacher was such a villain, deceiving her here to take away Qingbao?

After all, he recognized Qingbao as a legendary pet beast...

It’s better not to think the worst of others. The person said the event would happen tomorrow, implying changes could occur here then.

Besides, they mentioned she might gain something or maybe nothing.

Feeling calm, Qiao Sang’s confidence stemmed from her abilities.

Even if the person had ill intentions, she was confident enough to retreat unscathed.

While thoughts flickered, the surroundings mysteriously filled with white fog again, enveloping the trees around her.

"Ya Ya."

Yaobao whined disappointedly, indicating it seemed boring there.

"Kekekeke..."

Suddenly, Little Treasure Spirit made a funny face with its paws, hanging upside down in front of Yaobao, making classic spectral pet ghost sounds from horror movies.

Yaobao: "..."

Yaobao looked at it speechlessly.

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit righted itself, showing an admiring look.

Yaobao the great! Can’t scare it at all...

"Qingqing?"

This time, Qingbao made a sound, expressing it seemed boring there and asking if they should go.

"Xun Xun!"

Little Treasure Spirit panicked upon hearing that and quickly shouted out.

This was a great place! Who knows what’s inside? Exciting and perfect for playing hide-and-seek.

Qingbao gave an equally speechless look as Yaobao and glanced over.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:

"Let’s look around first; maybe there are some sights hidden from the outside.

"Xun Xun!"

Little Treasure Spirit nodded repeatedly.

Exactly!

Qiao Sang soon remembered something and advised:

"Tingbao, Moli Dragon, stay here and keep close, or you might get lost."

Little Ting Dragon and Moli Dragon didn’t have contracts, unlike Yaobao and others, which could sense positions through the Beast Taming Codex. If lost, it would take quite an effort to find them.

"Ting Ting..."

Little Ting Dragon wrapped around Lubao, showing a conflicted expression.

It didn’t really want to go; if it went, it would be too hot, but its Beast Tamer asked it to go...

While hesitating, Moli Dragon was first stunned, then unhesitatingly went to Qiao Sang.

"Ting Ting!"

Seeing this, Little Ting Dragon stopped thinking, released Lubao immediately, and moved quickly towards its Beast Tamer, afraid of being slower than Moli Dragon.

Soon, Little Ting Dragon was wrapped around Qiao Sang’s neck.

"Momo..."

Moli Dragon pressed closely beside Qiao Sang.

"Gangbao and Qingbao, use wind to clear the way, and let’s continue inside," Qiao Sang said.

"Gang Xiu."

"Qingqing."

Gangbao and Qingbao called out and began using wind skills to blow away the surrounding fog to open the path ahead.

Whenever fog was blown away, more fog immediately flowed in to re-conceal the surroundings.

Holding Yaobao, with Little Moli Dragon on her neck, Qiao Sang treaded over lush wild plants, appreciating the scenery while staying cautiously alert as they ventured into the unknown.

...

Meanwhile.

Above a fog-covered sea area on Qingguang Island’s southern side.

Mikaela hovered mid-air and frowned, saying: "The fog here is deliberately released by pet beasts."

Lyaon pondered for a few seconds and said:

"Should we expand the search area?"

"Don’t you find it strange?" Mikaela asked.

Lyaon asked, puzzled: "What?"

"Using Pen Jiami’s spiritual power, the entire Qingguang Island was actually scoured on the first day," Mikaela said. "I initially thought the rare pet beasts’ destination wouldn’t be here, but discovered an ancient pet beast on the first day and an extremely rare Ice Soul Hemp on the second day."

"These two pet beasts live in different environments and couldn’t both reside on Qingguang Island; they came specially from elsewhere and matched the information you provided, which is why I’ve continued searching these days."

"But nothing came up," Mikaela said, her tone turning serious:

"And I particularly noted the traces of that ancient pet beast and Ice Soul Hemp; they suddenly vanished on the island."

"Moreover, this area’s fog cannot be penetrated with spiritual power, yet upon arriving, it seemed like ordinary fog."

"It’s almost as if a deliberate fog was manufactured to waste our time here."

Lyaon’s expression equally turned grave:

"You mean someone knows our movements?"

Although he wasn’t entirely convinced by Mikaela, he admitted she was stronger in certain aspects; otherwise, he wouldn’t have sought her partnership.

Mikaela said solemnly: "Perhaps not someone, but a pet beast."
