Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 85 The Little Thief Enters the House [Part Two]

"Hello, I have some rather special requests."

As the work of moving the wind-elemental spiritual materials was nearing completion, Ge Bai came down from the third-floor terrace.

With a "what the heck" mentality, she called out to the staff of the Spirit Plant Research Institute.

"I was thinking that since you often transport spiritual resources for various clients, I was wondering if there are any methods for temporarily sealing and storing these resources?"

Ge Bai is preparing to walk on two legs.

While preparing to eliminate the thieves eyeing their resources once and for all, they also need to add another layer of insurance to these resources.

"Yes, several of my contracted pets possess the relevant abilities. What are your specific requirements?"

The staff at the Institute of Spiritual Plants are indeed professionals.

Ge Bai was overjoyed and quickly pulled him into the spiritual energy room to demonstrate his abilities.

The staff member understood and could do it, but judging from his expression, it was truly hard to comprehend.

"Ms. Gobe, are you sure?"

The staff looked at Ge Bai as if he were mentally challenged.

"Yes, I'm sure. Just do as I say, thank you!"

Ge Bai looked directly into the staff member's eyes, completely ignoring his expression, and said firmly to him.

Seeing that Ge Bai persisted, the staff readily agreed.

"Okay, I can get it done within 10 minutes after the resources are moved."

Let's just call it a genius's quirk; it's always hard for ordinary people to understand. The staff are good at comforting themselves.

-

That evening, Ge Bai watched with a smile as the staff of the Spirit Plant Research Institute left the villa.

Before turning to enter the villa, he made a special detour to the Xiong brothers, Xiong Dong and Xiong Xia, and praised them in a proper manner, expressing his gratitude for their hard work like a normal homeowner.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ge Bai returned to the villa.

Although the villa is not fully equipped with living amenities, it is still habitable as long as the requirements are not too high.

As dusk fell, the Xiong brothers, Xia and Dong, stopped what they were doing, packed their things, and left Villa No. 16.

Ge Bai did not leave. He stayed in the bedroom for a while, and drew the curtains and turned off the lights very early.

Then, she dragged the blanket from the bed and huddled in a corner of the second-floor corridor.

This corner was carefully chosen by Ge Bai; it offers a view of all the doors and windows on the first floor, as well as the elevator and staircase entrances to the basement.

Moreover, this corner is very well hidden; once the lights are off, you won't notice it even if you look up from the first floor.

Not only did Ge Bai find a good position to stay in.

Oyagi and Chiyo were in their positions, waiting for the thief to come to their door.

Xiao Tao didn't come out to join the fun; she was taken into Ge Bai's spiritual space early on.

But she was exhausted before she returned to the spiritual realm.

Not only did they give Da Liu and Qian Dai two Spirit-Returning Peaches and one Spirit-Seizing Peache each, they also forced one Spirit-Returning Peache and one Spirit-Seizing Peache to Ge Bai.

Even though Ge Bai smiled and refused, sincerely explaining that he didn't need it.

But Xiao Tao shook her little head like a rattle drum.

"Everyone has some, so even if it's free, we should still have some."

Seeing Xiaotao looking at him firmly, Ge Bai could only carefully put the two fruits away.

-

As night fell, dark clouds obscured the bright moon, and it was so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Around 3 p.m., the mountainside garden community in Jinggang City was quiet.

The Xiong brothers, Dong and Xia, truly made Ge Bai and the others wait patiently.

The two brothers, who had left just a few hours earlier, had already changed into black outfits and black hoods. They quickly made their way towards Villa No. 16, following blind spots in the neighborhood's surveillance cameras that they had scouted out beforehand.

Cards.

Ge Bai, who was resting with his eyes closed, clearly heard the sound of the lock on the French windows in the backyard on the first floor being opened.

coming.

"A mouse has entered the house."

Ge Bai sent telepathic messages to Da Liu and Chiyo respectively.

At the same time, she took out her mobile device and sent the message she had already edited to Professor Rowan.

The message wasn't long; it briefly described what had happened during the day and the speaker's speculation, asking Professor Rowan to help him report it to the police.

Fearing that Professor Rowan might not have seen the message, Ge Bai made another call. After the call was connected, she hung up before Professor Rowan could speak, then silenced her mobile device and put it in her pocket.

Before he could say anything more, Ge Bai had already seen the figure by the window, short and chubby, crouching down as he pushed the window open to enter the room.

-

On the other end of the phone, Professor Luo Wan was indeed woken up by Ge Bai's call. He checked the time and thought Ge Bai had something urgent to do. He was about to call back when he saw the message Ge Bai sent.

Upon seeing the message, Professor Rowan jumped out of bed.

A level 8 Beastmaster in the Transcendent Realm acting as a thief must have more than one Spirit-Eating Rat.

Gobai is in danger.

Professor Rowan was extremely anxious. He wanted to tell Ge Bai to stay far away, that protecting himself was the most important thing, and that he would call someone over to resolve the situation.

Resources aren't important! People can't be hurt!

But when he called again, Ge Bai wouldn't answer.

Although Professor Rowan hadn't had much contact with Gobai, he always felt that this seemingly well-behaved and quiet little girl was actually incredibly brave.

No, we need to get the police over there quickly.

As Professor Rowan dressed, he dialed an old friend's number at the police station.

-

The Xiong brothers, Xia and Dong, are considered cautious.

After entering the house, Xiong Xia stood by the window and did not rush to go inside. Instead, she took out the spiritual energy detection device and scanned it again.

Kabai had anticipated this move and instructed Oyagi and Chiyo to stay in the room on the second floor.

Meanwhile, Ge Bai held his breath and focused intently on Xiong Xia's side.

The spiritual communication system cannot be relaxed for even a second.

Fortunately, the brothers' spiritual energy detection devices were only portable and could not detect the spiritual energy fluctuations of beast tamers or spirit plant masters, nor could they be used for extended periods of time.

Once Xiong Xia confirmed that the room was indeed the same as during the day, with only the spiritual energy fluctuations of the mortal spirit realm, and that they were quietly staying on the second floor, she gave Xiong Dong a safe hand gesture.

Seeing his younger brother's signal, Xiong Dong, who was standing in the shadow of the courtyard wall, then quietly crept into the house with the Soul-Eating Rat.

Once inside, the two moved much faster, heading straight for the basement staircase entrance.

After all, they had already figured out the layout of the living room thoroughly when they cleaned the windows during the day.

In the shadows at the corner on the second floor.

As Ge Bai watched the two brothers head straight for the basement, he narrowed his eyes and sent a telepathic message to Chiyo.

"Mouse, go downstairs, you take your place first."

"rest assured!"

Chiyo's voice transmission revealed her barely suppressed excitement.

With a spatial teleportation, Chiyo quietly appeared in the basement, landing steadily in a pot of datura hanging on the wall opposite the spirit energy room.

This pot of dwarf orchid was brought over from the yard by Ge Bai in front of everyone this afternoon. Although it is not quite the same variety as Chiyo, it is superior in that it grows very lushly.

Chiyo appears in the spider plant pot, hidden in the heart of the plant, without any sense of incongruity.

The Xiong brothers, Xia and Dong, knew perfectly well that Ge Bai was the only person in the villa, and that the only thing around him was the spiritual energy fluctuations of a pet beast in the mortal spirit realm.

Therefore, they didn't take them seriously at all, and they didn't bother to distinguish what kind of pet they were.

Whether Ge Bai is a beast tamer or a spirit plant master makes little difference to them. In their minds, what difference does it make if he's in the mortal spirit realm?

Chiyo had just taken her place when the two brothers appeared from around the corner of the stairs.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

A small head of the Soul-Eating Rat peeked out from Xiong Dong's pocket and excitedly squeaked towards the door of the Spirit Power Chamber.

"Big brother, this is it! All the spiritual energy resources are here."

Before Xiong Dong could speak, Xiong Xia became excited.

"Stop talking nonsense, break in."

Xiong Dong calmly put down his backpack and carefully observed the door to the spiritual energy room.

This spiritual energy room was built by the villa's owner according to the standard of a normal spiritual energy room, and the door adopts the same standard as a bank vault.

After all, under normal circumstances, a large amount of spiritual energy resources are stored in the spiritual energy room, so one has to be careful. But this is no problem for the two brothers who make a living by stealing.

Following Xiong Dong's instructions, Xiong Xia pried open the door without taking out any tools. Instead, he conjured a summoning circle out of thin air.

Immediately, the figure of a Nemanjin beaver solidified above the summoning circle.

"Fangya, it's your turn now. Gnaw on this door."

As soon as the beaver came out, Xiong Xia eagerly carried it to the metal door of the spirit energy room.

Xiong Xia even picked a suitable spot for the beaver to bite, which was right at the lock cylinder of the door.

"Li!"

The beaver was plump and fed on metal. Upon receiving the beast tamer's order, it didn't hesitate and started gnawing.

The spiritual energy gathered in his incisors, and with one bite, the metal door was barely harder than wood under his mouth.

"The people have arrived. A beaver came out and started prying open the door. It'll probably be able to chew through the door in less than 10 minutes. The Spirit-Eating Rat is squeaking nearby. There are no other pets."

Chiyo saw it clearly and transmitted the situation in the basement to Kakuhachi and Oyagi telepathically.

It's a short story, but it contains all the necessary information.

Two people and two pet animals.

Ge Bai didn't see any beavers and wasn't familiar with their abilities, so he took out his mobile terminal, ignored Professor Rowan's dozen or so missed calls and text messages, and directly searched for beaver-type pets that could gnaw on metal.

The Nemanjin beaver's species has been largely confirmed; its attack skill is biting, making it effective against metal-type creatures. However, it falls into the category of support pets, and its attack power is not particularly strong.

Ha, these two really treat stealing as a lifelong career; even their contracted pets have such tool value.

Ge Bai couldn't help but laugh.

"Ooyagi, prepare the Storm Willow Blade Hammer. After Chiyo teleports you to the scene, smash that tall, thin man first. Don't hold back."

After observing for an afternoon, Ge Bai realized that Xiong Dong was the one who used his brains more. To be on the safe side, he decided to go in and deal with him first.

"Chiyo, leave the Chiyo sword to that fat guy."

"If you have the capacity, then deal with that beaver. You don't need to worry about the rat."

"We'll take action as soon as the door opens."

After giving detailed instructions to Yishu Yihua, Ge Bai finally opened Professor Luo Wan's message.

[Stay away, don't be reckless!]

[Resources aren't important. Be careful. Level 8 Transcendent Realm cultivators are far stronger than you now; they're not easy to deal with.]

[I'm already on my way; the detectives will be there in 15 minutes.]

The last message was sent 4 minutes ago.

Ge Bai calculated the time.

Judging from this, the timing should be about right, and we might just be able to catch a criminal in the act.

After thinking for a moment, Gobai sent a message to Professor Rowan.

[Received, Professor Luo, don't worry, I'm fine. The two of them are trying to pry open the door to the spirit energy room in the basement.]

[Currently, only two summoned pets have appeared: a Spirit-Eating Rat and what appears to be a Neman Golden Beaver, the one gnawing on the door.]

[I haven't seen any pets with strong offensive capabilities yet.]

Even though he was already in the police car heading to the mountainside garden, a journey of only a few minutes, Professor Rowan's heart was still in his throat, and he kept checking his mobile terminal every few seconds.

With a ding, Ge Bai's message popped up on the screen, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

But when he opened the message and saw the contents, he almost fainted.

What on earth is this girl doing?!

Didn't I tell her to stay away from me?

How come the message is so clear? She even knows what those two thieves are doing and what kind of pets they have.

Was she crouching behind the two thieves, watching the whole thing unfold?!

Professor Rowan was extremely anxious, wishing he could rush to Ge Bai right now and drag her to a safe area.

But he didn't panic. He immediately relayed the information that Ge Bai had sent to the police detective in the same car.

At the same time, they were urged to hurry up.

Upon hearing Professor Rowan's information, Detective Hao Ke chuckled twice, his large, curly beard shaking along with it.

"Rowan, this girl's got guts! The information she provided was so clear, where did she find it? She's got the makings of a detective!"

He didn't hold back in praising Gobai, saying that if all the parties involved were of this caliber, their jobs as detectives would be much easier.

Professor Rowan showed no sign of happiness upon hearing the praise; his face remained expressionless.

"You still have the nerve to joke around? Drive faster! Is the police station short of funds? Don't they know how to provide you with some nice cars!"

Professor Luo Wan gave Hao Ke a curt retort, then added solemnly.

"Let me tell you, Ge Bai is a rare genius plant master. Don't even think about it. There's no way she'd work for the police station."

"So what if I'm thinking about it? I wouldn't even think about most people. What kind of relationship do we have? Look at how stingy you are."

Detective Hao Ke didn't let Professor Rowan get the upper hand verbally, but he also floored the accelerator and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Turn off the sirens and lights, and hurry up."

"The person in question is the apple of the Spirit Plant Research Institute's eye. If anything goes wrong with them, don't even think about sending all the Spirit Plant Masters to support us next year."

Detective Hao Ke and Professor Rowan are very familiar with each other, partly because they often interact at work.

Infiltration, surveillance, and investigation—all aspects of the police department's work require the deep involvement of numerous plant enthusiasts.

The Institute of Plant Research has made the latest research findings and will prioritize providing them to the police department, so the two departments have a very close relationship.

Ten minutes ago, Professor Rowan woke up Detective Hao Ke with a phone call.

Upon receiving the call, Detective Hao Ke immediately initiated the internal emergency case filing procedure, leading a team of detectives to the mountainside garden without any delay.

A garden on the hillside.

Villa No. 16.

At the entrance to the Spirit Power Room.

Crackling, crackling, crackling.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was rhythmic and fast.

The beaver is almost biting through the thick alloy door.
