Taming beasts is not as good as taming yourself

When the wanted poster appeared in the encyclopedia, Wu Xiao knew that the man in front of him wearing a mask and sunglasses was no ordinary person, but a wanted beast tamer.

Any beast tamer on the wanted list has committed serious crimes and is a vicious criminal; the kind of person who could be killed and taken directly to the police station to receive a reward.

Of course, the fact that these people can still evade capture despite being wanted by the authorities means they are not weak; at least in terms of evading arrest, they are all seasoned veterans.

The wanted poster in front of me lists Liu Jing as the person in question. His pet is a level 12 jerboa, which, although only of common grade, has excellent traits and skills. His overall combat strength is definitely top-tier for a level 10 player.

"Level 12, not bad."

After learning about the other party's pet, Wu Xiao felt a little more at ease. With his current combat strength, dealing with a level 12 ordinary pet was not a problem.

"Wu Xiao, that person looks like a wanted beast tamer. What should we do?" Zhu Jiayin, who had escaped from the beast-catching net with Xiao Bai's help, quickly came to Wu Xiao's side, looking somewhat nervous. Having also accessed the police encyclopedia, she naturally saw the wanted information for the man.

Although the other party concealed themselves well, the best way to identify a beast tamer is not by looking at the beast tamer himself, but by looking at the beast tamer's pet.

Once you identify the other person's pet, you can naturally determine the identity of the beast tamer. Disguise such as sunglasses and masks is only useful when the pet is not exposed.

Of course, this rule is not always effective. It is not very useful for pets that have the skill of disguise, but the pet in front of us obviously does not have this skill.

"Since we've encountered it, we should naturally apprehend it and bring it to justice." After saying this, Wu Xiao glanced discreetly at the rooftop in the distance, where an owl was standing.

Since entering Block 13, Wu Xiao had a vague feeling of being watched, but he couldn't find the source. It was only when he realized that the gaze was not hostile that he thought it might be Senior Zhang secretly watching them.

After the wanted beast tamer Liu Jing appeared, the feeling of being watched became increasingly clear, so clear that Wu Xiao pinpointed the location: the owl on the roof. This further confirmed Wu Xiao's belief that the owl was Senior Zhang's pet.

For a newcomer like Wu Xiao, having a beast tamer who has contracted a level 12 pet is indeed a very dangerous situation.

Zhang Li naturally dared not be careless, and commanded his pet beast to move closer so that he could provide timely assistance.

Zhang Li even considered striking first, since when the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, the time he had to rescue would become infinitely short. With such a short rescue time, Zhang Li couldn't guarantee a successful rescue.

But before Zhang Li could make a move, he quickly commanded his owl pet to fly silently away to another location. In the distance, Ren Yuan and Lu Xu encountered a similar situation to Wu Xiao and Zhu Jiayin.

Moreover, Ren Yuan and Lu Xu were in even more critical condition, so Zhang Li had to prioritize rescuing them. As for Wu Xiao, Zhang Li had already dispatched his main pet beast to come and rescue him.

Zhang Li's main pet is also a speed-type, so it won't take long for it to get here. As long as the wanted beast tamer doesn't make a move immediately, there's still time.

As for Ren Yuan and Lu Xu, he couldn't afford to delay any longer and had to act immediately, otherwise there would be casualties.

"Gone?"

Realizing the feeling of being watched had disappeared, Wu Xiao glanced at the distant rooftop again and found that the owl had vanished.

"Did something happen to Ren Yuan or Lu Xu?" Wu Xiao quickly figured out the key point. Wu Xiao didn't really care about it, because he could handle the current situation on his own without Zhang Li's intervention.

"Me, us?"

At the same time, Zhu Jiayin's astonished voice rang out. She pointed to herself, then to the level 12 pet, her meaning clear: Was it really appropriate for the two of them to fight a level 12 pet?

"Of course, he's a wanted criminal. There's a generous reward for capturing him." Wu Xiao stared at the man in front of him. The reward was one thing, but Wu Xiao's real thought was that capturing this man would allow him to force out the source of the energy-boosting powder. It's easy for parasitic spores to parasitize ordinary people, but it's much more difficult to parasitize a formal beast tamer.

Therefore, the person in front of us most likely doesn't have any parasitic spores, which means we can get more clues about the energizing powder from them.

"Are you the one that girl is relying on?" Liu Jing sized up Wu Xiao. Because he was wanted, he couldn't move around freely outside. So, he came to the 13th block, the weakest area controlled by the police, and accepted a job from the local gang.

This time, he received an urgent mission to attack some people. The targets were not specified; he was only given a pair of sunglasses. He was to see who had a special fluorescent mark on their body through the sunglasses, and that would be the target.

Fortunately, not long after he received the mission, he saw the glowing mark on the girl. However, he did not make a move immediately. A young and beautiful girl, and a beast tamer at that, such a genius, appearing alone in a chaotic place like the 13th district, was either stupid or had some kind of backing.

To probe the target's hidden support, Liu Jing didn't choose to act himself, but instead sent his gang members to handle the situation. As he expected, he discovered the girl's backer was a boy of the same age.

Judging from the battle this boy just fought, he is quite strong, or rather, very strong. He killed a level 5 pet beast by himself, which is already the ceiling level of ordinary humans.

However, the ceiling for humans is merely the beginning for pet beasts. If this young man didn't have a pet beast, he would only have the combat power of a level 5 pet beast. But if he did have a pet beast, then his combat power level would be hard to assess.

Just as Liu Jing was about to continue testing whether the boy in front of him had a powerful pet beast in contract, a fluffy pink head popped out of Wu Xiao's pocket and began to devour the energy surrounding Wu Xiao. It was left behind by two level 5 Emerald Insects.

"Phew~~"

When Liu Jing saw Mimi peeking out of Wu Xiao's pocket, he was immediately certain. Although a different colored spirit fox and a mutated pet were rare, even if a level 2 fox had some powerful talent or characteristics, it would not be a match for his level 12 jumping mouse.

With his last doubts dispelled, Liu Jing no longer hesitated and prepared to take down the man; the rewards for emergency missions were always very generous.

These rewards will eventually become part of his jerky's fighting strength.

As for whether the young man and woman in front of him have any other entanglements, why would a wanted man like him care? As long as he doesn't run into them on the spot, he can find a place to hide after the matter is over, and no one can find him.

To ensure everything went perfectly, Liu Jing went all out. The official beast tamer who signed the contract issued the orders directly through the contract, so outsiders had no way of knowing.

Therefore, Liu Jing's attack was swift and urgent. The jerky's powerful legs propelled it into a black shadow as it charged towards Wu Xiao. This speed clearly indicated that it had used a rapid movement skill.

Although the jumping mouse was fast, Wu Xiao still managed to catch it, thanks to his increasingly powerful mental strength and his combat intuition as a martial artist.

However, when Wu Xiao was preparing to respond, he found that his speed seemed to be a little slow.

"Bang!"

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow that the jumping rat had transformed into crashed straight into Wu Xiao, sending him flying and smashing into a wall in the distance.
