Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 114 The Egg Thief and the Popular Qiao Bai! Blood Lion King: For My Beloved Cat, Go for It!

The news spread among all the freshmen who came to participate in the league within just one hour.

Honghu had considered suppressing the news and handling it internally, but it was simply impossible to suppress it.

Upon hearing this news, everyone's expressions were: subway, elderly person, looking at a phone.jpg

"No way?" Lu Wentao exclaimed in disbelief, "Honghu University! That's Honghu! How could a prepared prize get lost?"

Lu Wentao didn't understand.

Lu Wentao was shocked.

Lu Wentao's teachers and classmates had similar expressions.

"Is it possible that Honghu felt unhappy that the championship was won by someone other than Yulong and Honghu, so he deliberately..." someone whispered a conspiracy theory.

Lu Wentao shook his head: "If you ask me, maybe the people from Honghu would rather Qiao Bai win the championship than let the people from Yulong win the championship... If the championship is won by Fu Tianguang or Zhang Hongyi, I might believe what you said."

"Honghu probably really didn't do anything."

Others: "..."

It is convincing.

That's incredibly convincing.

So...it really was an accident?

"Honghu University! Who could possibly steal the pet egg that Honghu University has carefully prepared and cared for?"

"I just can't understand it, I really can't understand it!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

I couldn't agree more.

Who would have thought?

"Now I understand why some people say this world is a giant makeshift operation," Liu Xiaoruan said thoughtfully, stroking her chin in the hotel where the Frostwolf University contestants were staying.

"There were people like me before, who successfully squeezed into the top four in the Yulong and Honghu leagues."

"Followed by the incident of the missing pet egg at Honghu University, one of the top two universities in China..."

Is there anything more outrageous than this?

The Frost Wolves sitting around Liu Xiaoruan shook their heads frantically.

No.

Unbelievable.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan both wore identical expressions of bewilderment, as if they had no idea what day it was.

"So... we Junji know how famous Honghu's pet hatching center is. It's said that each hatching room has undergone multiple verifications, right?" With only Zhang Ying by his side, he no longer stuttered when speaking to Xiaoyuan. His seemingly weak face was filled with doubt about Honghu.

"Isn't this just a case of the thief crying 'stop thief!'?"

Zhang Ying: "...It's hard to say, I'm not sure, let's see."

"Honghu should be able to provide an explanation. If there's anything we can do to help..."

"I'll go find Professor Qiao's pet egg! I'm sure I can find the weakness of the swan!" Xiang Xiaoyuan excitedly interrupted Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

That's exactly what I'm worried about. The matter isn't even settled yet, and you've already issued a verdict against Honghu?

Yulong University naturally shares the same idea!

The teachers at Yulong University were secretly gritting their teeth – what a despicable swindler!

They actually managed to lure Professor Qiao Bai into their Honghu University in this way. The people at Honghu will definitely seize this opportunity to make a big splash in Professor Qiao Bai's mind!

Yulong cannot fall behind others... QAQ

We've already fallen behind.

Yu Long: I regret it. I regret it. If I had known, I wouldn't have just paid money directly for convenience. I should have prepared some resources, herbs, and crystals that the Beastmaster himself would have chosen. Wouldn't that have been a chance to get closer to Qiao Bai?

There's no going back.

The problem is that you can't know sooner.

Moreover, Yulong believed that they were not being perfunctory. After opening up the premium mall quota, students at this stage did not have much intrinsic value; all they could use was money.

Just as Yu Long was tossing and turning, thinking that Qiao Bai would be bewitched by Hong Hu at any moment, a thunderbolt struck the sky above Hong Hu—the reward pet egg that Hong Hu had prepared was gone!

Yu Long: "!"

This is the opportunity!

The fact that the news spread so quickly among all the participating schools is largely thanks to Yulong University.

"I'm mobilizing everyone's resources to help you, Honghu, clear your name as soon as possible and find the real culprit!" Yulong said, feigning concern for Honghu.

Honghu: ...Thank you so much.

But the news got out of hand.

Even a swan cannot stop others who want to know the truth.

Honghu himself took this matter very seriously—they were absolutely certain that they had no intention of targeting Qiao Bai, nor did they intend to give Qiao Bai a hard time.

Since Qiao Bai has already defeated them all, wouldn't it be better to end this league peacefully and amicably?

Why do something so stupid at this time?

They're not stupid, though.

So—who exactly is trying to frame Honghu and sow discord between them and Qiao Bai?

Or perhaps... their incubation facilities aren't secure enough?

If this pet egg is missing, are there other pet eggs that are also missing?

The swan quickly conducted a self-check.

Then Luo Yiming's expression turned serious.

"Although it's the holidays now, the school's incubation center is staffed every day, and every six hours all the pet eggs incubating are checked. At other times, the physiological condition of all the pet eggs is monitored through the central control room."

"In case of any unexpected situation, the teacher on duty will immediately rush to the corresponding room."

"The last inspection was five hours ago. At that time, all the pet eggs in the incubators were in perfect condition, and the control room did not indicate any problems with any of the pet eggs in the petting dishes..."

After conducting an investigation, Luo Yiming recounted all the findings to Qiao Bai in detail.

Qiao Bai remained silent, while Qi Yue raised an eyebrow: "So? What conclusion have you reached?"

"Yeah, just say what you want to say, my head is still buzzing!" Li Gan nodded frantically beside him.

Lin Weiwei: "What Professor Luo means is... it's unlikely that this was done by a human?"

"Hmm." Qiao Bai nodded, then looked at Luo Yiming: "You think that some extraordinary creature stole the pet egg."

Luo Yiming coughed twice and nodded in agreement with Qiao Bai, saying, "Yes, we have checked the staff on duty today several times. They are fine, and all their timelines and actions are perfectly normal."

"Furthermore, the pet eggs disappeared without any apparent reason and without causing any disturbance. This is definitely not something that humans could do."

"But if this was done by a supernatural being... what kind of supernatural being could do that?" Lin Weiwei blinked her big, watery eyes, her voice soft, yet she got straight to the point.

Luo Yiming: "..."

"have no idea."

"Among the known supernatural beings on our record, there should be no other supernatural being with such abilities and interests."

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

"Is this the only missing pet egg?" Qi Yue still felt that things were too coincidental and couldn't help but ask.

Luo Yiming's expression became even more awkward.

It's really quite a coincidence... There isn't a second missing pet egg yet, only the one that was Qiao Bai's prize is missing.

Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan: "..."

wink wink.

His eyes were full of doubt.

Luo Yiming was so engrossed in the stares of the three people that sweat dripped down his forehead.

"Please believe us, we really didn't mean to hide anything or deceive you..." Luo Yiming waved his hands repeatedly, explaining to Qiao Bai and the others, "But rest assured, once we confirm it was done by a supernatural being, we will definitely find that supernatural being!"

Li Gan: "Are you so sure?"

"Ahem... Well, how should I put it..." Luo Yiming clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, his face showing a mix of embarrassment and pride: "Actually, cases of supernatural creatures committing crimes in Star City... are quite common."

"However, most of the time we can determine what kind of extraordinary creature it is based on the traces left at the scene."

"But this time..."

The incubator is so clean!

No other evidence was left in the petri dish.

Honghu University immediately suspected it was man-made—Yulong! It must have been Yulong who did it!

After some investigation and questioning, they finally realized what had happened and shifted their focus from human involvement to the possibility of a supernatural being committing the crime.

While feeling a slight sense of relief, there was also a touch of helplessness—good heavens, we've embarrassed ourselves in front of other schools!

Honghu University knew that other participating schools were also discussing this matter, and it was impossible to keep the news a secret. They could only disseminate the results and conclusions of their investigation through other channels.

Upon learning that an unknown supernatural creature had stolen the pet egg, the group was speechless.

No?

Are you guys from Honghu really that good at this kind of thing?

Who would believe this explanation... Oh, Yulong believed it.

Yulong has begun a new round of mockery of Honghu.

Other schools: "..."

did not expect.

I never expected that.

So the living environment in your Xingcheng is this complicated?

My curiosity is stirring.

I can't resist the urge to get up close and have a taste of the melon.

While some people were still discussing it privately, the brave ones had already gone to Honghu University to witness the spectacle firsthand.

"Hehe, Professor Qiao!" Among the group, Liu Xiaoruan stood out like a clown, laughing happily and waving her hand high at Qiao Bai, as if afraid that Qiao Bai would not see her.

Qiao Bai crossed his arms and glanced over.

Okay.

They were all acquaintances from the finals.

Lu Wentao, Zhang Ying, Xiang Xiaoyuan, Liu Xiaoruan, and then the four kings of Yulong Honghu, plus Qiao Bai, almost make a total of ten people.

Qiao Bai: "?"

"What are you doing here?"

"I heard the pet egg you were rewarded with is missing, so I came to see if you needed any help." Lu Wentao walked over to Qiao Bai, shoving Li Gan aside with his shoulder. Under Li Gan's incredulous gaze, Lu Wentao patted Qiao Bai's shoulder and said, "I was just worried you'd be secretly heartbroken!"

Qiao Bai stared at him without saying a word.

Lu Wentao looked at the sky and the ground but avoided making eye contact with Qiao Bai.

Liu Xiaoruan jogged over to Qiao Bai, smiled at Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan, and finally looked at Qiao Bai, saying, "We're here to help you find the pet egg!"

"Looking for that egg thief, right? More people means more strength!" Liu Xiaoruan always had a big smile on her face. "We're friends who participated in the same league, after all!"

Xiang Xiaoyuan stood behind Zhang Ying, holding Zhang Ying's clothes in her hand, and nodded repeatedly in Qiao Bai's direction.

Yeah.

They became friends after participating in the same league!

Xiang Xiaoyuan glanced at Liu Xiaoruan again, her envy almost tangible.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai reluctantly believed what the four of them said.

But... what's going on with the Shen sisters, Fu Tianguang, and Zhang Hongyi?

It's not that Qiao Bai likes to gossip behind people's backs, but they don't seem like such warm-hearted people.

"Honghu is our school. Since Honghu lost its pet egg, we naturally have an obligation to help find it." Shen Ruowan seemed to understand Qiao Bai's gaze and said with a gentle smile, "Consider it helping Honghu regain some face."

Qiao Bai nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Oh, so we're just here to see Honghu make a fool of himself, and we'll help you out on the side," Fu Tianguang said immediately after Shen Ruowan.

Qiao Bai looked over at Fu Tianguang and saw that the man had his hands in his pockets, his eyes darting around, looking at the sky and the ground but not meeting his gaze.

Zhang Hongyi: "Based on the existing clues, the extraordinary creature that stole the pet eggs should have come from the Extraordinary Creature Park within Honghu University."

"To avoid unnecessary waste, the search and confirmation are usually carried out by the Beast Tamers of the unit to which the Extraordinary Creature Park belongs. If the extraordinary creature that committed the crime is not found within 24 hours, the case will be transferred to the Beast Taming Alliance, where a specialist will come to handle it."

"School hasn't started yet, and Honghu doesn't have enough beast tamers. We're here to help enter the park and find the supernatural creature that committed the crime."

This was the first time Qiao Bai had heard Zhang Hongyi speak so much in one breath since she met him.

Although his tone was flat and without any dramatic ups and downs, Zhang Hong conveyed all the intended meaning.

Not only Qiao Bai, but everyone else, including Qiao Bai's three friends, all looked at Zhang Hongyi with surprise.

Zhang Hongyi remained expressionless, continuing to wear his poker face.

"Ahem." Luo Yiming appeared at this moment. He glanced at everyone present, his gaze focusing on Fu Tianguang and Zhang Hongyi... Qiao Bai could tell that he was looking at them with the intention of poaching them.

Qiao Bai was speechless.

What's this called?

The legendary depth of love?

Once something is in my bowl (at school), I want to keep it?

Fortunately, Luo Yiming was generally reliable. He said in a grateful tone, "I really appreciate everyone's help. If nothing unexpected happens, the egg thief should be inside the park. Here is a map of the park and a general distribution map of the extraordinary creatures."

As he spoke, he distributed the paper maps in his hand to everyone.

"Egg thieves... cough, the extraordinary abilities of egg-stealing creatures are something we've never seen before, so we suspect that there are extraordinary creatures evolving within the park, and in an unknown form."

"Everyone should pay close attention to the extraordinary creatures that are not recorded."

When Luo Yiming handed the map to Lu Wentao, he hesitated for a moment, then silently put the map back.

Lu Wentao: "?"

"Wait? Why won't you give it to me?" Lu Wentao was practically jumping up and down.

"Um..." Luo Yiming said seriously, "Well... most of the extraordinary creatures in the park won't attack humans, at most they'll just ignore them, but there are a small number with volatile tempers, so just in case, there are certain requirements for the strength of the beast tamers who enter to investigate..."

Lu Wentao, thinking about how he was eliminated in the second round: "..."

I was ostracized.

What's even more heartbreaking is that Lu Wentao couldn't refute it and could only silently grieve and shed tears alone.

At this moment, Li Gan, disregarding past grievances, stepped forward and patted Lu Wentao on the shoulder: "Aren't the three of us here with you?"

As he spoke, he pointed to Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei beside him.

Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei's fists were itching to strike.

They didn't really want to be the center of attention in this way!

……

Qiao Bai and the other seven people entered the park together. Each of them was equipped with a real-time synchronized miniature camera, a special feature of Honghu University, which was clipped to their collar or pocket. People outside could view the images transmitted back from inside at any time.

"It's got that jungle adventure vibe!" Liu Xiaoruan exclaimed excitedly. "Plus this camera, I feel like a live streamer!"

Liu Xiaoruan stroked her chin, her mind racing with fantasies: "Being a livestreamer in the future wouldn't be so bad..."

"You're one of the top four freshmen in our class, and all you want to do is become a streamer? Where's your ambition and drive? Have they all been eaten by dogs?!" Fu Tianguang said with an expression that showed he couldn't stand it anymore.

Liu Xiaoruan: "Mm!"

Fu Tianguang was so angry he almost had a stroke!

Back then, he was full of vigor and thought he would be the strongest person to secure a top-four finish and strive for first place!

Who would have thought?

He fell in the quarterfinals.

On the contrary, people like Liu Xiaoruan... are hard to judge, but anyway, they made it to the semi-finals.

Fu Tianguang: Heartbroken.jpg

"You, a mere quarterfinalist, shouldn't be spouting nonsense. What business is it of yours what she wants to do in the future!" Shen Ruoyan raised her head, staring directly into Fu Tianguang's eyes and retorting, "What's wrong with being a broadcaster? What's it to you? You talk like you have some kind of relationship with her. What do you care about her future?!"

"You agree, Professor Qiao." As she spoke, Shen Ruoyan turned to look at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai, who was eating and watching the drama unfold, was speechless.

kindness?

Why look at him?

Didn't he remain silent the entire time?

"I think...we should split up and search in groups." Qiao Bai smiled slightly, using the tactic of changing the subject: "The efficiency of the eight of us going together is a bit low."

It wasn't just because eight people were acting together.

It's also because they argue from time to time.

The arguing crowd and the onlookers, together, hindered the quest to find the egg thief.

Zhang Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan, who were intently watching the drama unfold with Qiao Bai: ...Ahem, it's not their fault, it's just that watching people argue is too interesting.

"Then let's split into groups." Fu Tianguang suddenly stopped in his tracks, and everyone else stopped as well. "I'm fine with anyone, as long as I'm not with this crazy woman."

Fu Tianguang said, arms crossed.

Shen Ruoyan: "Who are you calling a crazy woman?!"

Fu Tianguang: "I didn't name names, so whoever responds is guilty."

"It's not like I want to be in a group with you! I want to be in a group with Professor Qiao Bai!" Shen Ruoyan rolled up her sleeves, ready to take action, and didn't forget to drag Qiao Bai along as well.

Liu Xiaoruan jumped up instantly: "Me! Me! Me! I want to be in a group with Professor Qiao Bai too!"

"Professor Qiao Bai should be with me!" Xiang Xiaoyuan looked left and right, his fanboy heart surging, and he couldn't hold back any longer. He closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and shouted loudly.

Qiao Bai, who had suddenly become the object of everyone's scramble, once again had a big question mark on his face and fell silent.

When did he become so sought after?

Or is it the kind that kills both women and men?

"Professor Qiao Bai, who are you going to go with?"

Shen Ruoyan, Liu Xiaoruan, and Xiang Xiaoyuan all turned their gazes toward Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai first looked at Zhang Ying and gestured to her with his eyes, "Control your buddy. Aren't you two always gay and inseparable?"

Zhang Ying smiled and spread her hands: "Actually, I really want to be in a group with Professor Qiao Bai. I feel like I could learn some good things from him."

"Don't try to take it from me!" Xiang Xiaoyuan angrily tugged at Zhang Ying's clothes, glaring at Zhang Ying with fierce eyes.

Qiao Bai didn't want to talk.

...So he's also part of your play?

Qiao Bai refused to think about it further.

Qiao Bai then looked at Shen Ruowan, "Control your sister?"

Shen Ruowan: "Sister, I want to be with Professor Qiao Bai too!"

"Let's have a showdown!" Shen Ruoyan rolled up her sleeves and turned her attention to Shen Ruowan. It looked like the two of them were really about to fight.

Beside them, Liu Xiaoruan was also sneaking towards Qiao Bai. Before she could even get close, Fu Tianguang grabbed her and pinned her down: "What are you trying to do? Trying to run away?"

Although I'm too embarrassed to say it as openly as the others.

In fact, Fu Tianguang paid close attention to Qiao Bai.

Did she want to sneak away and get close to Qiao Bai right in front of him?

It's impossible, it doesn't exist. Did Fu Tianguang give someone else this opportunity?

"Then let's pair up with your nearest companions and get ready to go," Zhang Hongyi suddenly said at this moment.

Everyone except Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai:

"Let's go." Qiao Bai turned around and left decisively, and Zhang Hongyi followed.

The others wanted to follow, but they held each other back, and could only watch helplessly as Qiao Bai's figure disappeared from their sight.

"snort!"

"...Damn it! That Zhang Hongyi kid definitely did it on purpose!"

"Waaah! I want to be in a group with Professor Qiao Bai too! It would be so much fun with him! I could even use this opportunity to build a good relationship with him; who knows, it might come in handy someday?"

"I also want to say that I am very interested in Professor Qiao Bai's two pets, especially the one called Xiao Wu... I don't know how it manages to have such powerful flames."

"I would also like to ask Professor Qiao Bai for some advice on my Pearl Princess, to see if it can evolve or its strength can be improved."

"...Shut up! Don't mention that clam spirit of yours! It's because of it that I stopped at the round of 16!"

Luo Yiming, Lu Wentao, and others outside the park watched the chaotic scene with complex expressions.

"So why can it only synchronize the viewpoint but not the audio recording function?" Qi Yue asked with a regretful expression. "You could tell from their noisy appearance that something really interesting must have happened!"

"The video recording is for better law enforcement later, but the audio recording involves privacy issues..." Luo Yiming wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained earnestly, as if he had no such thoughts at all... Sigh!

What a pity!

the other side.

Qiao Bai and Zhang Hongyi chose a direction together, randomly.

Qiao Bai released Xiao Wu and Maomaochong, while Zhang Hongyi released Zhanxue Lion King. With these two and their three pets, their safety within the park was basically guaranteed.

The cat-like insect, with its seven little paws, hopped and skipped ahead, running wildly all the way.

Every now and then it would circle around Qiao Bai's feet twice before continuing to run forward.

Cat-like bug: "Chirp chirp!"

Happy!

Let yourself go!

I'm still very excited after the game!

Xiao Wu looked at the cat-like insect with a hint of helplessness in its big, golden-red eyes.

Hey!

The bird's underlings are really... well, never mind, I won't say anymore.

Who told it to be the bird's little brother?

Let the birds protect the beast tamers!

The little bird flapped its wings and followed Qiao Bai.

The Blood Lion King walked between Qiao Bai and Zhang Hongyi, quiet, majestic, and unwavering in his gaze, except that he had no fur on his body and dared not meet the eyes of Xiao Wu beside him.

"This park isn't small, and finding an unknown supernatural creature here..." Qiao Bai clicked his tongue lightly, reluctant to say it, as it did indeed feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"Don't worry, this is our first round of searching. If we don't find it, the beast tamers from Honghu University will come back in after we leave and search again along the routes we haven't been to," Zhang Hongyi explained calmly. "If it weren't for the holiday, the carpet search would be handled by them in shifts."

"Actually, you didn't need to come in," Zhang Hongyi continued.

Qiao Bai shook his head: "Teacher Luo told me that I came in by myself."

The loss of the pet egg was not Qiao Bai's responsibility; in fact, if anything, Qiao Bai was the aggrieved party.

Who would allow the victim to come and search for their lost reward in person?

Is this still considered a reward?

Qiao Bai was interested in this unknown extraordinary creature, as well as in Honghu's extraordinary creature park, which is why he wanted to come in and take a look.

Who would have thought that I would encounter such... indescribable teammates?

Oh.

Zhang Hongyi counts too.

"You want to come with me alone, is there something you want to say?" Qiao Bai asked, but in a tone of certainty.

after all.

Zhang Hongyi doesn't seem like the type of person who would get involved in activities like stealing teammates. If he wants to be in my group, he must have some other purpose or need.

"...Okay." Zhang Hongyi responded hesitantly.

Qiao Bai was puzzled.

"I just wanted to ask..." She had explained things quite smoothly to Qiao Bai before, but faced with Qiao Bai's question, she stammered a bit, finally managing to say, "I just wanted to ask... ask you... is your pet cat-dragon... male or female?"

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai: "???"

Qiao Bai suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Zhang Hongyi and the Blood Lion King in shock. His eyes were filled with scrutiny, solemnity and disbelief as he looked at the man and the lion.

Xiao Wu's expression wasn't much better.

(ΩДΩ)

and many more?

What are you saying?

Do you want to hear if you're even speaking human language?

The bird's little brother!

That's a bird's little brother!

Before the little bird could even flap its wings, Qiao Bai stopped it with his bare hands. He hugged the little bird and looked at Zhang Hongyi with a smile: "What do you mean by asking this?"

A calm tone.

Calm and undisturbed.

It was as if Qiao Bai didn't see anything wrong with it at all.

The only thing that made Qiao Bai feel fortunate was that the child wasn't around.

Moreover, the size difference between the Blood Lion King and the Cat Bug... Qiao Bai gestured with his hand.

Putting aside the size difference between the Blood Lion King and the Catworm, and their reproductive isolation, the Catworm is still an egg! (Sound effect.jpg)

"When the Lion King saw the Cat-Cat Dragon's first battle, he... fell in love with it at first sight." Facing Qiao Bai, the Cat-Cat Insect's Beastmaster, and with Little Black Gold's red, menacing gaze that seemed ready to spread its wings and attack at any moment, Zhang Hongyi struggled to say these words: "Originally, the Lion King wanted to wait until he defeated it before confessing his love to it in person..."

Little Wu: ┗|｀O′|┛Aww~!

Shut up, you stinky durian mango!

The bird's little brother is a child!

It's still a child!

Besides, your varieties are different!

There will be no happiness in being together!

This time, Qiao Bai really couldn't stop Xiao Wu, who was struggling desperately in his arms, and deep down, Qiao Bai didn't really want to stop him.

bar?

What's there to stop them from doing?

It's getting hot, and the Blood Lion King must be partly to blame. Let Xiao Wu give the Blood Lion King another beating to cool him down.

Qiao Bai: Stay calm and smile.

Blood Lion King: "?"

"Awooo~ Awooo—!"

The Blood Lion King was being beaten so badly by the little crow who was playing freely.

Lion King?

No, no.

It is a lion without its mane.

Want to be beaten into a kitten?

Xiao Wu: Smiling.jpg

It doesn't deserve it!

Little Wu really went all out; the Blood Lion King ran wildly without daring to retaliate... mainly because retaliating wouldn't have been effective.

The Blood Lion King had not forgotten the way he was burned by Little Wu not long ago... all the fur on his body was burned off!

They haven't grown yet!

Without its fur, the Blood Lion King wasn't as confident when facing its beloved cat; otherwise, it would have confessed its love to her in person!

hmmmm?

As the Blood Lion King ran, he suddenly showed a puzzled expression.

Where is its beloved cat?

Little Wu's frantic fanning of the Blood Lion King suddenly stopped.

Where's the cat?

Where's the bird's little brother?!

Qiao Bai and Zhang Hongyi: "!"

"The cat bug is gone?!" Recovering from the shock Zhang Hongyi had given him, Qiao Bai looked ahead and saw that the cat bug, which had been frolicking excitedly, had disappeared.

Qiao Bai, Zhang Hongyi, and Luo Yiming and the others behind the camera all had the same shocked expression.

Unlike the missing pet egg in the incubator.

The cat-like insects practically disappeared right under their noses.

But neither Qiao Bai, who had a contractual relationship with the cat-like insect, nor Xiao Wu, who possessed extraordinary strength, could detect the aura and figure of the egg thief.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became exceptionally heavy.

Unlike the pet egg, which Qiao Bai had never met and was just a prize to him, the cat-worm was Qiao Bai's pet, his family, and his second treasure.

He just disappeared like that...

Qiao Bai is angry.

Xiao Wu's aura also suddenly erupted.

找！

Even if we have to turn this park upside down, we absolutely must find the egg thief and the cat thief!

……

Luo Yiming, who was outside, practically had to put an emergency oxygen device on himself.

The situation changed far too quickly.

Before the pet egg could be found, a pet went missing.

What the hell is this extraordinary creature?

Why would someone have this hobby of stealing eggs and pets?

The search has reached its limit.

Qiao Bai walked out, seething with anger: "Egg, that extraordinary creature's target is the pet egg."

Luo Yiming wanted to say something, such as that the cat-like insect wasn't a pet egg... but when he met Qiao Bai's gaze, and considering that the biggest victim in this whole affair was indeed Qiao Bai, and that Honghu University bore an unshirkable responsibility for this, Luo Yiming's expression turned serious: "Okay, I'll apply right away."

Rare pet eggs cannot be used as bait.

However, a simple application is the only way to find this elusive and extraordinary creature.

Qiao Bai sat to the side without saying a word.

Did they overturn the park?

When Xiao Wu was captured, Qiao Bai was able to calmly think of a solution, so he would never do something so irrational in a moment of irrationality.

Another reason is... with his eyes closed, Qiao Bai could feel a fragmented connection with the cat-like insect.

There was no cry for help.

There is no pain.

It even carried a touch of... indescribable comfort?

Cat Bug: Wait for me to level up, Beastmaster!

Qiao Bai had no idea what the cat-like insect was thinking.

We can only conclude that the cat-like bug is currently in a safe environment, or even willingly (?) followed the egg thief away?

Despite the doubts, one should still appear angry and assertive on the surface.

Life is like a play.

It all comes down to acting skills.

Qiao Bai still needs to find that extraordinary creature.

After all, it's one thing that the cat-like insects pose no danger, but what exactly does that extraordinary creature want to do? Stealing pet eggs and then stealing cat-like insects that are also eggs... its behavior is simply too incomprehensible.

The disappearance of the cat-like insect has further escalated the seriousness of the situation.

Luo Yiming's application was approved very quickly.

"This is a firefly egg that hatched not long ago. Its mother couldn't incubate so many at once, so she gave some of them to us to incubate," Luo Yiming said as he walked up to Qiao Bai, holding a white pet egg.

Qiao Bai glanced at it.

He knew about the fire frog.

A magical, extraordinary creature with both water and fire attributes, living in aquatic areas. However, newborn fire frogs must endure continuous burning by flames until their eggshells turn from white to red before hatching, in order to accumulate enough energy.

An ordinary fire frog's flame can only provide enough fire for 3 to 6 offspring, but a fire frog's litter usually contains at least 8 to 10 offspring, and the mother fire frog will choose the healthiest babies to incubate herself.

The others would be abandoned in the wild.

In the park, they were simply given to humans.

Isn't this a mutually beneficial relationship between humans and extraordinary beings?

"You want Xiao Wu to help provide some of the flames," Qiao Bai said calmly.

Luo Yiming's expression turned somewhat surprised: "That's what I mean..."

"After all, pet eggs are generally..." he said, sounding a little embarrassed, as if he wanted to explain something.

Qiao Bai waved his hand, interrupting him: "That's fine then."

Luo Yiming dared not say another word.

He sighed and complained inwardly.

Do you really think Qiao Bai will have a good impression of Hong Hu?

Hey!

They're really going to give it away for free!

I've given the other side a good impression of Yulong for free!

All the beast tamers and other pet-related students who stayed at Honghu University during the holidays gathered here. Qiao Bai and a few others did not enter the park this time.

Four beast tamers from Honghu were responsible for bringing the firefly egg into the park.

They were equipped with 360-degree cameras to ensure that the supernatural creature could be filmed no matter where it appeared.

Even the fire frog eggs were fitted with a camera and a GPS tracker.

The four beast tamers from Honghu University immediately released their pets.

It would be even better if we could catch this egg thief directly.

Everything was prepared, and everyone watched the four people's actions and the status of the firefly eggs from various angles in front of the big screen.

The four of them followed the same path Qiao Bai had taken earlier and walked it again.

At first, there was nothing.

As they approached the area where Qiao Bai and the cat-like insect had lost contact, everyone's breathing became lighter, and their eyes were glued to the screen, afraid of missing any important shots.

Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu looked at the light screen with very serious expressions.

go ahead.

Keep going.

The extraordinary creature seemed to know it was a trap and didn't appear for a long time.

The four of them were about to move on to the next area.

A whirlwind-like figure suddenly appeared.

Luo Yiming: "!"

"Grab it quickly!"

He quickly shouted into the communication device, and Honghu's four students sprang into action.

Under the prepared attack of multiple pets, this special supernatural creature finally slowed down and revealed its full form in front of the camera.

Humanoid.

He is nearly two meters tall.

When its two huge, gray-black wings flap, you can see its two long, thin, sharp claws, which make an extremely piercing sound.

"li——ji——"

Even through the lens, you could almost see the air vibrating, and the pets all showed expressions of unbearable discomfort.

The extraordinary creature didn't engage with them. As if protecting the firefly egg it had just snatched from its grasp, it turned around and disappeared in front of them as if it had turned into a wisp of gray smoke.

"Check the locator!" Ignoring his frustration at failing to capture the extraordinary creature, Luo Yiming hurriedly shouted to the student in charge of monitoring.

"The signal has disappeared," said the student sitting at the monitoring station. "The address displayed by the locator in the last second before contact was lost was..."

His tone became somewhat strange.

"Where?!" Luo Yiming quickly asked.

"Dongling"

Qiao Bai: "?"

Changsha resident: "..."

"Eastern Tombs...no? Isn't that a cemetery?!"
