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

Chapter 178 Qiao Bai: The highest level of lying is to fill in the blanks with your own imagination without needing explanation! Little Crow is shedding its feathers!

Let the two overlap again.

Fire and lightning attribute pets.

After listening to Qiao Bai's summary, You Ke and Ning Ruxue were both bewildered.

Shocking.jpg

Is that even possible?!

"Let me see...let me see..." Yu Ke couldn't believe it, and decided to see it for herself.

Then... she was completely convinced by Qiao Bai's summary.

Anyone you randomly pick out will have the same conclusion as Qiao Bai!

Yu Ke: Good grief! I might as well just hand over my intelligence gathering job to Professor Qiao Bai!

To put it politely, they are intelligence gatherers; to put it simply, they are intelligence brokers.

Such an identity naturally cannot be made public.

Youke is not her real name either; it's an identity she fabricated to infiltrate the Beast Taming Alliance, which took her a lot of time and effort.

Just when it seemed like the mission was finally about to be completed and that idiot Shi Kang would be removed from his position, Youke felt no joy or sense of accomplishment whatsoever.

It's really because...

The way Shi Kang was taken away was completely different from what she had initially planned.

At least as an information broker, Yu Ke never intended to drag most of the city's residents into this mess just to get Shi Kang out of there.

The events that occurred within the Red Soil Secret Realm caught Youke completely off guard.

Their powerful intelligence gathering and integration capabilities are utterly useless in the face of forbidden lands where human power is confined.

Yuko could barely tolerate these things.

It's not her problem.

Shi Kang is too stupid.

It's a forbidden place, too mysterious.

The only thing that really mattered was Qiao Bai's ability to analyze the commonalities among the residents suffering from high fevers within three hours of arriving in Yan City and Hongtu City. This speed greatly damaged You Ke's pride as an intelligence broker in his analytical abilities.

No?

Why, why is it possible for someone to collect, integrate, and analyze all this intelligence in just three hours?

Can we also analyze the commonalities among some data that are not valued?

Are the family situations of ordinary people so easy to integrate and analyze?

If that were the case, it's impossible that no one noticed before Qiao Bai.

Although part of the reason was that the time was too short, if there had been more time... well, even Yuko herself couldn't stand it anymore.

What is most important for a piece of intelligence?

Accuracy?

Content depth?

No, no.

It's time!

Thinking of this, Youke took a deep breath, and the way she looked at Qiao Bai changed completely.

Qiao Bai: "?"

As if sensing something, Qiao Bai turned his head to look in the direction the gaze came from, and met a pair of eyes that seemed to be burning with scorching flames.

Qiao Bai blinked.

After getting a clear look at Youke's appearance, Qiao Bai felt for some reason that there was a subtle mismatch between those eyes and the person's appearance.

Noticing Qiao Bai's gaze, You Ke gave him an excited smile: "Professor Qiao Bai, you are absolutely amazing!"

"I didn't expect you to analyze it so quickly!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

It feels like there's an element of acting involved, but these aren't what Qiao Bai is most concerned about right now.

Qiao Bai was struggling with how to tell them about the 72-hour time limit, which he didn't know if it was good or bad.

Ning Ruxue immediately noticed the hesitation in Qiao Bai's expression: "Professor Qiao Bai, what are you hesitating about?"

"Hmm." Qiao Bai stroked his chin and said in an uncertain tone, "My sixth sense tells me that the sooner we resolve the problem in Yan City, the better."

"If the process drags on for too long, say 48 or 72 hours, things might change."

Ning Ruxue and You Ke's eyes both turned serious in an instant.

Don't you believe Qiao Bai?

No, no.

Not only did they have no doubts, they also took Qiao Bai's words seriously.

Ning Ruxue trusted Qiao Bai. She knew that Qiao Bai was very capable, and he would never joke about such an important matter if he wasn't confident.

Youke's victory over Qiao Bai was subtle, but she didn't know how Qiao Bai had defeated her.

Now, upon hearing Qiao Bai's words about the sixth sense, You Ke suddenly understood.

The case is closed!

Professor Qiao Bai's talents are definitely suited to the "sixth sense" or "flash of inspiration" type!

That's why we were able to discover the problem so quickly!

We've discovered a new problem!

Looking at the expressions of the two people in front of him, Qiao Bai deeply understood what it meant when you become powerful enough that you don't need to explain your lies, because others will fill in the blanks for you.

He easily skipped over explaining the matter.

None of the three looked relaxed.

Forty-eight hours or seventy-two hours?

"At least sixteen hours have passed now. If we consider the last forty-eight hours, there are at most thirty-two hours left, and we cannot allow any other accidents to happen in these thirty-odd hours."

Yu Ke muttered to herself, her eyes filled with anxiety, "From the time the first patient with a high fever appeared last night until now."

Solved in 32 hours?

Take a deep breath.

Yuko felt that dreaming was a faster way to get things done.

"The only good news right now is that those who haven't been infected should not get infected in the next thirty-odd hours, but after that..." Ning Ruxue frowned as she spoke.

"Is the source in the Red Earth Secret Realm?" Ning Ruxue rubbed her forehead. "Then we must hurry. I'll go and inform the two Heavenly King Beast Tamers now, and have them lead the team into the Red Earth Secret Realm."

Two Heavenly King Beast Tamers?

Qiao Bai was stunned when he heard this.

Not all eighth-tier beast tamers can be called Heavenly Kings.

Among the dozens of eighth-tier beast tamers in China, only seven possess the title of Heavenly King.

Qiao Bai never expected that there would be two this time.

"I..." Qiao Bai was about to say something when his phone vibrated in his pocket.

It's a special "angel" reminder mode.

Ning Ruxue looked at Qiao Bai.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Qiao Bai temporarily put aside his curiosity about the two Heavenly King Beast Tamers.

Maybe he'll be able to see him later.

Qiao Bai wanted to know even more why the "angel" would poke him at this time; there must be a reason.

After taking out his phone and glancing at it a few times, Qiao Bai showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Then I'll contact Mr. Jundu and Ms. Hui now. The matter of the Red Earth Beast Taming Alliance and the responsibility of maintaining stability in Red Earth City and Flame City will be temporarily handed over to you, Miss Youke. Is that alright?" Ning Ruxue turned her gaze away from Qiao Bai and onto Youke in front of her.

Yuuka, suddenly burdened with a huge responsibility: "?! ...

Really?!

Yuko's expression was somewhat dazed.

Let her take charge of maintaining order in Red Earth City and Flame City?

"Okay!!!" Although she was shocked and found it unbelievable, Yuko agreed immediately.

She was very confident that she could do what she was supposed to do, compared to Shi Kang.

The group divided the work among themselves.

……

Following the address on his phone, Qiao Bai arrived at a dessert shop that was a bit far from the Beast Taming Alliance in Red Earth City.

Unlike the usual quiet and deserted atmosphere with all the shops closed, the situation in Red Earth City is slightly better, with some shops closed and others still operating normally.

However, apart from some large supermarkets and daily necessities stores, the other shops had almost no customers.

Looking at the dessert shop's pink and cute storefront, Qiao Bai hesitated for three seconds at the door before finally stepping inside.

The tables and chairs inside were all empty.

Qiao Bai looked around and finally spotted a rustling sound in a corner of the road, where there were flowerpots and green plants.

Qiao Bai rubbed his forehead.

"Knock knock—"

He tapped the wooden tabletop a few times, making a sound that was impossible to ignore, before finally speaking, "I've come to keep my appointment."

bang——

thump—

Qiao Bai heard a series of chaotic sounds coming from inside, as if something had fallen to the ground, or something had hit the table or something else.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai did not move.

Qiao Bai wanted to know what was going on.

Just now, before Qiao Bai set off, the owner of the post whose real identity he had contacted through the forum got in touch with him and asked if he was in Red Earth City or Flame City, hoping to talk to him in person.

The location address sent by the other party is this dessert shop.

But what's going on here...?

Qiao Bai looked at the two heads that popped out from behind the partition screen with a headache.

Swah——

A fluffy little girl's head with pigtails popped out.

And then—

Like a game of Jenga, a little boy's head with a buzz cut popped up on top of the little girl's head.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Is this some kind of large-scale live Jenga performance?

Qiao Bai's eye twitched slightly.

"...You're the ones who contacted me?" Qiao Bai asked, his gaze sweeping over the two children.

Judging from her appearance, she should be around ten years old.

They look quite alike; they're probably twins or siblings.

But two children asked him to come out...

"Hello……?"

"You're the one who contacted us online, right? You don't seem that impressive!"

The little girl and the little boy spoke at the same time. One was timid and hesitant, while the other was carefree and oblivious to the danger, his eyes scrutinizing Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai fell silent again.

Before Qiao Bai could even speak, the two of them started arguing.

"Ah Yong, you can't be so rude! What if this older brother doesn't help us find our sister?"

"Hmph! I'm not being rude, I'm just testing his character and strength, you know! Ah-Yun, don't mind him!"

"No! This older brother doesn't seem like a bad person, and he's very polite to us!"

"Don't you know he's a beast in human form, a hypocrite? And what's with all this 'big brother' stuff? Call him 'uncle'!"

"Ah Yong, keep your voice down! You can't talk badly about others to their faces!"

"I'll say it to his face! I don't talk badly about people behind their backs! Besides, I need to assess his abilities before deciding whether to entrust him with a task!"

Qiao Bai felt a sense of helplessness, his veins throbbing.

These two kids are really...aren't they afraid of actually running into bad people?

"Hmm? Have you two finished discussing it? Why don't you sit down and talk?" Qiao Bai tapped the table again, interrupting the conversation between the two children who were about to fight.

"You are wasting my time, and you are wasting the time to rescue your sister."

Swish

The entire shop fell silent.

The short-haired boy named A Yong and the twin-tailed girl named A Yun both looked up at Qiao Bai, their eyes as if they were looking at some kind of demon.

How could Qiao Bai's 36-degree mouth utter such cold words?

Qiao Bai smiled.

He could say even colder things.

"Is it alright for me to come?" Qiao Bai hadn't expected that the people who invited him would be two children, but he still tried his best to be polite and respectful.

A-Yong and A-Yun also sensed Qiao Bai's unusual treatment.

Even Ah Yong, whose personality seemed more rebellious, softened his attitude towards Qiao Bai under this equal treatment.

"Fine," Ah Yong said, arms crossed. The little boy stubbornly raised his chin and said seriously, "But you'd better not try anything bad to us! Our store's security cameras are uploading in real time!"

Qiao Bai smiled.

at last.

The three of them sat down.

Qiao Bai looked at the two little brats opposite him without showing the slightest strange emotion, as if it were a matter of course.

"Tell me what you know about the forbidden land of the Red Earth, or any other related information you may have." Qiao Bai tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, looking intently at A Yong and A Yun across from him.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Bai added, "The more detailed your explanation, the greater the chance I can help you find the sister from the Red Soil Exploration Team."

A-Yong and A-Yun: "?"

The two children, who had been putting on serious faces and pretending to be adults, both showed expressions of confusion.

"Big brother, how did you know we were looking for...?"

"Ha! You idiot, you accidentally let it slip!"

Seeing that the two little ones were about to start arguing again, Qiao Bai waved his hand and released several pet beasts.

Oh.

There was no threat involved; he simply wanted to better control the situation and, incidentally, give them a more direct understanding of his strength.

as predicted.

As soon as Little Crow, Cat Bug, Little White Snake, and Little Jellyfish appeared, the two little guys immediately quieted down, their curious eyes scanning Qiao Bai's four pets.

"Four pet beasts?" A-Yun blinked her big, watery eyes, her voice filled with surprise. "Big brother is so amazing!"

Being able to contract four pet beasts proves that Qiao Bai's strength is at least that of a first-level beast tamer, and he might even be able to break through to the second-level beast tamer.

Looking at Qiao Bai's youthful appearance, A-Yun's expression became quite excited.

Compared to A-Yun, A-Yong wasn't so easy to talk to: "Hmph! Just so-so! Still far inferior to my sister!"

But Ah Yong's curious eyes still lingered on the pets.

Especially Xiao Wu, who was the most conspicuous and seemed to be the strongest, A Yong's eyes were practically glowing when he looked at Xiao Wu.

Little Wu: "..."

Somewhat enthusiastic.

The bird seemed a little embarrassed.

Little Wu retreated, retreating further and further into Qiao Bai's arms.

Qiao Bai hugged Xiao Wu and casually combed its fur, then noticed something was wrong when he raised his hand.

kindness?

Why is my little bird shedding feathers?

Seeing the feather that Qiao Bai had taken from his hand, the little bird suddenly opened its golden-red eyes wide and flapped its wings in panic.

Then--

rustling sound—

Feathers from the little bird fell from the sky!
