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

Chapter 65 Crossdressing: There's only zero times or countless times! Zhou Xinran: So you're going to ruin my image?!

"...What's going on?!"

The two-headed snake will not attack unless it hears his command.

Could it be...?

The strange man narrowed his cloudy eyes: "Was it made by that Hua bird?!"

After eliminating all impossibilities, the remaining possibility, however shocking, is the truth.

The stranger laughed again.

Compared to when they first met Xiao Wu, there was a greater sense of genuine excitement and joy: "Great! The stronger this Hua Niao is, the better!!"

"I'll get it properly appraised at a shady appraisal agency; maybe I can sell it for a good price!"

……

When Xiao Wu woke up again, he found himself locked in a small cage where it was difficult to even turn over.

Its cage was placed in the last large cage.

Beside it was a boy whose hands and feet were tied together.

Xiao Wu compared them in his mind and thought, "Hmm, he looks about the same age as the Beastmaster, but he's not as handsome as the Beastmaster!"

Xiao Wu thought to himself with a straight face.

The boy opposite him had clear, bright eyes. Noticing Xiao Wu's gaze, he thought Xiao Wu was asking him for help.

"sorry--"

The boy, whose hands and feet were bound, moved his body like a caterpillar and got close to Xiao Wu. His hoarse voice could not even shout out loud, and he could only make a few small sounds.

"I can't even save myself..."

The boy said with a somewhat pitiful look, "But that poacher locked you and me up together, which means you must be quite valuable, right?"

Little Wu: "???"

No?

Beastmaster!

What's wrong with this person?!

That's such an annoying way to talk!

Xiao Wu's black, beady eyes revealed a look of disdain.

"Do you want to form a contract with me?" The boy couldn't understand Xiao Wu's gaze and kept whispering, "I'll tell you a secret, I can actually form a contract with a second extraordinary creature, but that poacher doesn't know, hehehe..."

As he spoke, the boy let out a low, silly chuckle.

"He gave me a mental sea-sea-sealing injection, preventing me from releasing my baby dragon to attack him." The boy moved even closer to Xiao Wu, his voice becoming breathy: "But the mental sea-sea-sea-sealing injection only prevents the pet from leaving its mental sea, but it cannot prevent the contract between the pet and the supernatural creature from the outside."

"Once we form the contract, the effects of the nerve block will be lost. Then, if you and Baby Dragon attack together, we might have a chance to escape!"

The boy stared at Xiao Wu with his bright, sparkling eyes.

It's as if their eyes are saying: Agree! Agree now!

Xiao Wu: MDZZ!

Seeing that the little bird was not moving, the boy became anxious and tried to use his head to push against the cage containing the bird.

"hiss--"

The two-headed snake appeared out of nowhere with a fluid motion, its two heads suddenly separating, one staring at the boy and the other at Xiao Wu.

The boy closed his eyes in terror.

The little crow, whose entire body was smaller than the two eyes of the two-headed snake, stubbornly stared back at the snake with its tiny, beady eyes.

The two-headed snake opened its blood-red maw and suddenly stretched it out in front of Xiao Wu, as if it were ready to swallow Xiao Wu whole at any moment.

Little Wu subconsciously recalled the excruciating pain of having its wing bitten by the venomous fangs of a two-headed snake and being injected with poison.

Little Wu: "..."

hateful!

Despite meticulously planning the passive skills, one crucial oversight was overlooked: poison-attribute extraordinary creatures possess immunity to poison-attribute skills!

In the end, the two-headed snake was not seriously injured.

The poisonous fumes were a feast for the two-headed snake, and the corresponding toxins were injected into Xiao Wu's body.

Perhaps the two-headed snake was also thinking about what had happened not long ago, because its long tongue struck Little Crow once again.

It was as if it was gesturing to Little Crow: One more time! One more time!

Little Wu closed its eyes in pain.

Little Wu: I'm dirty!

Beastmaster!

Save the birds! Save the birds!

Snake saliva is so dirty and smelly!

Xiaowu: ヽ(；Д｀）

……

Qiao Bai and Xu Xiaoyan quickly discovered the strange man's whereabouts.

Xu Xiaoyan was able to guess the other person's identity simply by analyzing the scent.

"He's a poacher!"

Xu Xiaoyan found the place where Xiao Wu last disappeared by smell, and there was a very complex smell that was a mixture of various extraordinary creatures.

There was only one human scent among them.

Upon closer inspection, traces of the iron cage being dragged can still be seen on the ground.

In another day or two, these marks will probably disappear naturally.

But Qiao Bai and Xu Xiaoyan had come after Xiao Wu and discovered these traces immediately.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai's expression turned quite unpleasant.

Poachers, an illegal and shady profession, deal in more than just the poaching of extraordinary creatures.

Since legitimate ways to obtain extraordinary creatures include contracting them through battles in the wild, why would anyone insist on spending money to buy extraordinary creatures from poachers?

Of course, it's because—contracting wild, extraordinary creatures is risky.

The extraordinary creatures provided by the Alliance Pet Breeding Base and Breeding House are all extraordinary creatures that have been artificially bred to a certain extent. They possess wildness, but most of them will not attack humans unless provoked by anyone.

After signing a contract, communication becomes easier and it's also much easier to cultivate a relationship.

But the extraordinary creatures captured in battles in the wild are quite different.

Those creatures that are relatively weak and friendly, such as birds, honeybees, and budding flowers, can live in normal human ecological environments.

Their personalities are generally fine.

But if you want to tame a powerful or exceptional creature in the wild... then you have to go to the forbidden land.

Are those extraordinary creatures in the forbidden land ordinary extraordinary creatures?

Living in a dangerous environment, growing up in a dog-eat-dog world, anyone who isn't strong enough and doesn't have parental protection might become a snack for other supernatural creatures at any time.

To form a contract with such an extraordinary creature and make it obey your commands, the first and most important thing is to defeat it!

Defeat it with your own strength.

The kind that knocks someone down.

Only in this way can it be truly convinced.

Any extraordinary creature defeated through encirclement, suppression, or assistance from others may become disobedient, unruly, lazy, or act like a tyrant after being contracted. Powerful extraordinary creatures may even break through the limitations of the beast tamer's spiritual sea beast taming space.

If it really comes to that point...

That extraordinary creature had to fight for its life, and the beast tamer whose beast taming space was breached didn't fare much better. The injuries to the spiritual sea have always been the most difficult to repair and heal.

Simply put, it's the same principle—take on as much work as you're capable of.

Either you have the financial means to purchase docile supernatural beings through legitimate channels.

Either they possess extraordinary talent, capable of subduing all beasts with a single tremor of their tiger-like bodies.

Otherwise, don't even think about easily contracting a powerful supernatural creature.

However, the existence of poachers provides a new avenue for beast tamers who yearn to contract a powerful and extraordinary creature but lack the strength and financial resources.

Substitute treatment plus drug control.

Extraordinary creatures purchased from poachers cost less than one-fifth the price of those obtained through legitimate channels.

Take Li Gan's dragon lizard, for example.

A standard breeding house costs over 30 million, and there's no upper limit. Those with good talent and many skills will be even more expensive.

But buying it from poachers would only cost less than six million.

After all, poachers are in the business of catching and selling poached animals on the spot.

There is no cost.

No cultivation.

No domestication.

No service.

No after-sales service.

It has one more "nothing" than a "three-no" product (no manufacturer, no quality certificate, no production date).

Their only guarantee was that the supernatural creature would be alive when it was delivered to the buyer and would not attack the buyer.

How do we tame these extraordinary creatures?

Poachers offer special drugs that can suppress supernatural creatures, and the price... is acceptable to those who are willing to buy them.

After use, it will cause powerful and unruly superhuman beings to lose their own consciousness and become puppets that can be manipulated and commanded at will.

Although there are many restrictions.

It can only be used on the extraordinary creatures it has a contract with; the effect lasts only three to five days after each use, and the extraordinary creature may go berserk if it is not used again; the effect will become weaker with long-term use...

There are quite a few problems, and quite a few troubles.

Those who ultimately chose to buy beast tamers from poachers believed they could truly tame extraordinary creatures before the drugs wore off.

Qiao Bai could only let out a cold laugh at this.

Again.

If only one out of ten buyers has an accident, then for that person, the probability is 100%.

Those who take chances will inevitably suffer a terrible setback if they are not careful.

But for Qiao Bai, the most important thing right now is to rescue Xiao Wu!

"That poacher definitely hasn't left the forbidden area yet." Qiao Bai's gaze turned cold, his mind racing. "He couldn't possibly take the poached supernatural creature out directly."

A disguised evacuation takes time.

Or even if a deal is made in a forbidden place, it will still take time.

"Take photos, collect evidence, and immediately find a way to contact the school and the alliance!" Qiao Bai took out his phone and acted quickly.

Xu Xiaoyan quickly joined in taking pictures.

The longer the delay, the greater the chance that Xiao Wu will be in danger.

Qiao Bai couldn't afford to gamble.

When Qiao Bai tried to send the photo, the phone displayed two large characters: "Failure".

Qiao Bai's gaze grew even colder.

Forbidden areas usually have normal signal reception.

This situation can occur...

That poacher must have used some kind of shielding method!

"Holy crap! I can't send the message!"

"Smash the distress signal? But usually only a few guards will come, how can they be a match for that poacher!" Xu Xiaoyan cursed.

Even the weakest poacher who dares to act alone is probably a second-tier beast tamer.

If the guards only send a handful of men, how could they possibly be a match for the enemy?

It might end up like we're delivering vegetables together!

Xu Xiaoyan looked anxious, but Qiao Bai's mind became even calmer.

What other options did he have...?

Purple item: Lucky Four-Leaf Clover Badge!

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Qiao Bai's mind.

Last time, I only used a quarter of it and successfully found the Twin Fire Condensation Grass.

Qiao Bai's mind raced. He pretended to take out the Lucky Four-Leaf Clover Badge from his backpack, but actually opened his talent skill. Before he could even put it in his pocket, just holding it in his hand, Qiao Bai could feel the intense heat emanating from the badge.

It wasn't so hot that I couldn't hold it.

But Qiao Bai was certain it wasn't his imagination; the calories this time were even higher than last time.

Qiao Bai: "!"

Hey!

It's outrageous!

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Bai stuffed the lucky four-leaf clover badge into his pocket and then tried to send the message again.

There was a brief pause in the air for what seemed like a second, and the signal was restored for a fleeting moment.

The message to Huangzhou was successfully sent.

[Huangzhou: ?]

[Huangzhou: !]

The signal disappeared again the next second.

This time, Qiao Bai put his phone away without worry.

It's good that Huangzhou received the news; the official alliance will definitely take immediate action.

"I'm entrusting you with something very important." Qiao Bai turned his head and looked at Xu Xiaoyan beside him with a serious expression.

"you say!"

"Go back immediately as fast as you can and report the situation to the school. Bring back a few more capable people who can handle that guy."

Xu Xiaoyan quickly said, "What about you? Are you going to wait here? Come with me!"

"Don't worry about me, the buffer zone is relatively safe. Generally speaking, I won't encounter any major danger." Qiao Bai's calmness exceeded Xu Xiaoyan's expectations.

Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan still wanted to persuade him, Qiao Bai said again, "You can get back faster by yourself than with me. Don't waste any more time, the faster the better. I'll be fine."

Xu Xiaoyan's face showed a struggle.

But Qiao Bai's words make sense.

"Then protect yourself, I'll bring people back as soon as possible!" Xu Xiaoyan said, then activated her skill without looking back, disappearing from Qiao Bai's sight in three seconds like a whistling wind.

It was clear that no one was around anymore.

Qiao Bai then let out a long breath.

he knows.

Xu Xiaoyan left so quickly partly because of the urgency of the situation, and partly because he felt that he couldn't catch up with the poacher on his own.

If you are just staying in the buffer zone, you generally won't encounter any major danger.

however……

Qiao Bai never intended to just stand there quietly.

Fortunately, Qiao Bai knew his own limitations.

Xiao Wu has been captured, and Xu Xiaoyan is not around. With his strength alone, it would be a joke to think he could rescue Xiao Wu from a second-tier beast tamer.

But is he an ordinary person?

Of course not!

Qiao Bai narrowed his eyes.

Why should he rely on his strength?

He's a man with a cheat code!

Qiao Bai silently took out another lucky four-leaf clover that he had drawn last time.

Double luck buff.

Simply stack up the Lucky Armor.

Next up is the purple item, the Advanced Shield, which can withstand an attack from a supernatural creature below the sixth rank. The strongest pet of a second-rank beast tamer is probably at the peak of the fifth rank, so using this is a gamble.

The purple teleportation scroll can teleport you to the vicinity of people you know or extraordinary beings, but there will be some error in the landing point.

Finally, there's the purple item, Advanced Disguise Potion, which allows you to disguise yourself as someone else for 24 hours after use.

After taking out the last prop, Qiao Bai hesitated for two seconds and thought about it.

Disguise...who should he disguise himself as?

The Alliance's high-ranking beastmasters?

Disguising one's appearance is not a problem; it might even scare poachers.

However, Qiao Bai could only disguise his appearance, not his pet beast. As soon as the other side made a move, he would be exposed.

It needs to be plausible, avoid detection, and buy as much time as possible for the poachers...

Yes.

Qiao Bai's ultimate goal was not to confront the poachers head-on, but merely to buy time.

When the Beast Taming Alliance and the school guards arrived, this guy hadn't even had time to leave!

After careful consideration.

Qiao Bai... has decided on the person he's impersonating.

A flash of light.

Qiao Bai disappeared from the spot.

……

The poacher counted the extraordinary creatures he had caught, a smug smile spreading across his face.

"hey-hey!"

"A wolf cub, a tiger cub, a baby dragon, and a little bird I just found on the road—the results this time are barely acceptable!"

Just as Qiao Bai and his companions had predicted, the poacher was a second-tier beast tamer.

His pets' levels couldn't be raised; the two-headed snake and the charging rock sheep were both stuck at the peak of the fifth tier and couldn't break through. His spiritual sea's beast-taming space also couldn't open up a fifth space slot.

Due to a lack of talent, he has been stuck at the second-tier beast tamer level for quite some time.

Poachers are naturally unwilling to give up.

Although being a second-tier beast tamer already grants one a good social standing, and many companies offer high-paying jobs.

But if he wants to continue to advance and become an even more powerful beast tamer, he can't afford the resources to break through his limits and his pets' breakthroughs just by working.

Then he had some wicked thoughts.

There's a saying, isn't there?

Methods of making money are all written into the criminal law.

The same applies to the management of extraordinary organisms.

Breaking the law?

As long as you're careful not to get caught, it's not considered breaking the law!

At first, he was very cautious, capturing only one extraordinary creature at a time and trading it directly with the buyer in the forbidden land, for fear that the Alliance might discover his whereabouts if he was not careful.

As he gradually got to know more colleagues and more unorthodox methods, he began to become bolder.

If you catch two or three at once, you can rest for three to five months without having to go out and risk your life.

Moreover, he no longer even looks down on low-level extraordinary creatures!

At the very least, capture a mid-level extraordinary creature!

Ideally, we should be able to capture a dragon!

The price went up immediately!

This time we successfully captured a dragon... Although it was a pet that had already been contracted, it's not a big problem!

Even if a contract has been formed, it can be terminated by force.

At most, the person will become stupid and useless, but the dragon race will not be affected, so it doesn't matter.

In addition, he captured a mutated supernatural creature this time... Just based on that mutated skill, he'll definitely be able to sell it for a good price in the end!

All he needs to do now is leave here as soon as possible, meet up with his contact, and successfully sell this shipment... and he'll be rich!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He grabbed the curved horns of the charging ibex and was practically jumping and bouncing on its back in excitement!

Then his body suddenly stopped.

Wait...wait a minute?!

Is there someone ahead?

The poachers immediately became tense.

How come someone is here?

He doesn't travel this route often, and every time he comes to the Forbidden Land, he tries his best not to repeat the same path. The last time he traveled this route was a year ago.

The buffer zone has few extraordinary beings.

Occasionally, only college students would come.

As long as they avoid them, they won't encounter anyone else. Passing through the buffer zone is generally safe, which is why the rendezvous point was chosen to the east, at the boundary point away from the buffer zone.

This person...

The poachers immediately prepared to unleash the two-headed snake to attack.

Then the man seemed to notice him and slowly looked in his direction, which startled the poacher.

That face...that figure...

A different light immediately appeared in the poacher's cloudy eyes.

Beauty!

Moreover, the poachers noticed that the beautiful woman had no supernatural creatures or pets around her!

Although the buffer zone is not that dangerous, a normal beast tamer would keep their pet beast by their side.

Unless this beautiful woman is really an ordinary person.

Countless thoughts raced through the poacher's mind, but in the end, because of that face that no man could resist, and that curvaceous figure, he didn't act immediately.

"...Who are you?" The poacher stared warily at the lone woman in a white lab coat, not taking a single step closer.

But those eyes never left her, scanning her up and down.

The beautiful woman, Qiao Bai, who was disguised as Professor Zhou Xinran, cursed silently in her heart upon seeing this.

Hey!

He knows it!

No man can resist the allure of a beautiful woman!

Especially since she's a stunningly beautiful woman who looks like she's completely helpless!

Amen.

Qiao Bai mentally tapped on an imaginary electronic wooden fish.

Even if Professor Zhou knew, he would understand, right?

After all, who could resist a mature woman in black stockings?

"You're that businessman, right?" Qiao Bai mimicked Zhou Xinran's usual manner, one hand in his pocket, and raised his head with feigned aloofness, saying, "A friend of mine said he can buy a supernatural creature that satisfies me from you."

"I heard you would be passing through here, so I waited for you here."

kindness?

Is he the buyer?

Upon hearing this, the poacher relaxed a little.

"Your friend told you that? I didn't disclose my whereabouts!" However, the poacher was clearly still somewhat rational and wasn't blinded by the beauty. At most, he was a little nicer and didn't attack him right away.

This is exactly what Qiao Bai wants.

As long as you know how to talk, as long as you can talk, and if you act properly, you can delay until the alliance arrives!

"I have my own channels, and besides, your whereabouts aren't that mysterious." Qiao Bai understood the art of riddles well; in short, he'd say his piece and you could guess: "So what if you're selling to someone? Is it really necessary to pry into my identity?"

"Is this how you do business?" Qiao Bai said sarcastically. "Looks like I need to remind the people around me."

This expression, when made by Professor Zhou Xinran, is particularly lethal.

The poachers shut up on the spot.

Qiao Bai also shut up.

I almost lost my composure!

It must be said that the advanced disguise card is really effective; it not only disguises the face, but the entire appearance, including the voice.

But it's not like you've become a completely different person; it's more like you've put on a disguised shell over your original body. The same goes for your voice; if you're not careful, it might crack.

Qiao Bai: Calm down, calm down even more!

"You're a beast tamer? Then why don't you have any pets with you?" The poacher was starting to believe Qiao Bai's words.

However, there are still some questions I can't figure out, such as why Qiao Bai doesn't have any pets around him.

Qiao Bai: That's because you, you blind fool, caught my pet beast!

"I'm not a beast tamer," Qiao Bai said, blatantly lying. "Who told you I bought extraordinary creatures to form a contract with them?"

"No? Then what do you need superhuman creatures for?!" The poacher, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt his heart leap into his throat again.

"You're not here to deliberately lure me in, are you?"

Are the Alliance members lying in ambush?!

The poachers looked left and right, but didn't see a third person, which gave them a little sense of security.

Relying on his identity as Zhou Xinran, Qiao Bai couldn't help but let loose: "Fishing? You?"

I rolled my eyes at the poacher.

Even the beauty of the woman couldn't make the poachers ignore Qiao Bai's disdain.

"I'm a scholar, a professor. Tell me, why would I buy supernatural beings?"

The woman's red lips curved slightly, but her words sent a chill down the spine of the poacher.

He took another careful look at the beautiful woman in front of him.

Hmm... now that you mention it... it does look somewhat familiar?

I do think I've seen him wearing that white coat in a magazine report before.

The professor's identity is very likely genuine.

The poachers realized their mistake.

This professor is definitely conducting some illegal experiments in private!

That's why they sought him out, wanting to buy extraordinary creatures from him to inflict various forms of torture!

Looking at it this way... we're all in the same industry!

The poachers were instantly calm.

What's the panic?

He had something on the other party, but he also knew something on this beautiful professor!

Who knows, maybe in the future... hehehe!

The poacher revealed a lewd smile, and at the same time, his attitude towards Qiao Bai completely relaxed.

"Oh, I see!"

The poacher chuckled and said, "Alright, then... Professor, what kind of extraordinary creature do you want?"

"I have a white wolf cub, a steel-tailed tiger cub, a mutated Chinese bird, and a baby dragon here."

"However, the baby dragon is a bit more troublesome. If you want it, you'll have to wait until I cancel its contract."

After reaching an agreement with the poachers, Qiao Bai calmly stepped forward and carefully examined the three cages being dragged by the charging ibex.

The tiger cubs and wolf cubs, each over a meter tall, were separated and placed in two cages.

In the last cage lay a boy with clear, foolish eyes. The moment his gaze met Qiao Bai's, his face flushed red, and then he glared angrily at Qiao Bai.

He had a cynical and disdainful look on his face, clearly looking down on Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: "?"

He held him close, but the boy wasn't thinking anything good.

Qiao Bai didn't care.

His gaze finally shifted to the cage containing the little bird.

The small creature tightly bound the little bird inside, its wings and feet tied together, making it unable to move.

Only a pair of black, beady eyes can move in all directions.

The little bird trembled the moment its eyes met Qiao Bai's!

Xiaowu:!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

Wait, wait a minute!

This... isn't this so-and-so?!

But... this doesn't seem right!

The bird seemed to sense the beast tamer's presence!

Where are the Beast Tamers?

Xiao Wu's pair of black, beady eyes darted around, trying to find Qiao Bai's figure next to "Zhou Xinran".

No.

There isn't any anywhere.

Just as Xiao Wu looked at "Zhou Xinran" again, a pupa-like body appeared between Xiao Wu and "Zhou Xinran".

Looking at the boy's back as he approached, Xiao Wu was completely bewildered.

No?

What is this person trying to do?

Why are you blocking the bird's view?

Qiao Bai was also completely confused.

No?

Why is this silly, clear-eyed boy standing in front of Xiao Wu, looking like he's about to eat Xiao Wu?

Is this person really just someone who was simply locked up with Xiao Wu, and not Xiao Wu's beast tamer?

Qiao Bai nodded inwardly.

Yep.

He is Xiao Wu's beast tamer.

This guy has absolutely no connection with Xiao Wu.

But why is the other party acting like Xiao Wu's right-hand woman?

Qiao Bai was completely baffled.

"This person is the Beastmaster of Baby Dragon," Qiao Bai said with certainty.

"I was just lucky." The poacher thought Qiao Bai was talking to him, so he nodded and said with a hint of smugness, "This kid wanted to be a champion of justice as soon as he met me. I thought he was something special, but it turns out he's just a trainee beast tamer."

"Of course I took care of him right away!"

The poacher burst into laughter, his words filled with contempt for the boy.

The boy's face turned bright red.

"...Damn it! Don't be so smug, you'll be punished by heaven!" He glared at Qiao Bai again, his voice low and filled with venomous grit, and said, "And you, you femme fatale! You'll get your comeuppance too!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

Amitabha.

Professor, please forgive me.

Qiao Bai's heart remained calm and undisturbed.

"What's going on with that Hua bird? It's so small, is it really a Hua bird?" Qiao Bai ignored the boy's words and turned to the poacher to ask.

The poachers clearly did not expect that Qiao Bai was stalling for time.

Seeing Qiao Bai's earnest and serious expression of wanting to make a deal, he enthusiastically began to introduce the business to Qiao Bai.

"...So, what's going on? I reckon this Chinese bird is a mutant, and its potential should be quite good!"

The poacher emphasized the passive skills that Little Wu had demonstrated.

"If you're not in a hurry, you can wait until I get it appraised at the appraisal center before you decide whether to buy it or not."

"Let me take a look first." Qiao Bai said, gesturing as if he wanted to get a closer look, then, as if remembering something, he turned to the poacher and asked, "Is it alright?"

The poacher hesitated for two seconds: "Okay, then hurry up."

The poacher thought to himself, "Zhou Xinran is probably a respectable professor who wants to complete the transaction privately and doesn't want the Alliance to find out."

...Considering that "Zhou Xinran" is a top-tier beauty, it wouldn't be unreasonable to be a little more lenient.

Anyway, with the two-headed snake watching over things, nothing unexpected will happen.

Qiao Bai smiled slightly and walked towards the cage containing Xiao Wu and the boy, not at all surprised.

That's the advantage of pretending to be Zhou Xinran.

While it wouldn't necessarily make a man kneel down at her feet on the spot.

But which man wouldn't be more patient and tolerant when facing a beautiful woman?

Qiao Bai casually walked to the cage where Xiao Wu was kept, squatted down, and looked directly at the boy and Xiao Wu.

Little Crow.

Qiao Bai opened his mouth but didn't make a sound; he just mouthed the words.

Looking at each other at close range.

Little Wu finally recognized him...

Beastmaster!

This is a bird tamer!

Little Wu's pupils dilated in shock once again!

What happened?

Less than an hour after Bird and Beastmaster parted ways, Beastmaster underwent a sex change and plastic surgery.

The man and the bird stared at each other for almost two minutes.

"Have you checked it out yet?" the poacher urged from the other end.

"Hmm... I'm a little interested in this Chinese bird. This is it. Can I take it out and have a look?" Qiao Bai straightened up, a satisfied and relaxed smile on his face.

The poachers who were a little impatient just now.

He was momentarily stunned when he saw the aloof beauty smile gently.

"Um... okay."

The poacher's head was spinning for a moment. He thought... The beautiful professor said she wanted to buy it, so what's wrong with letting her see the goods beforehand?

It's not a big deal!

That little cage hasn't been opened yet!

A beautiful woman can't escape alone!

The more Qiao Bai thought about it, the more reasonable the poachers seemed, so he let Qiao Bai watch.

The two-headed snake handed the key to Qiao Bai, who, with a hint of disgust, used the key, which was covered in the snake's saliva, to open the door of the large cage and took the little crow, who was locked in the small cage, into his arms.

The cage door was left open, so the boy inside couldn't escape.

Xiao Wu, who was about to give Qiao Bai a coquettish look, suddenly froze.

Wait... this texture...

Its small, dark, beady eyes fell on Qiao Bai's chest.

"Miss, is there anything else?" The poacher's patience seemed to have reached its limit. He clicked his tongue, his cloudy eyes darting around anxiously, and said, "If possible, we can exchange money for goods."

"Hurry up, even forbidden lands aren't above the law. I have to go!"

Qiao Bai kept a very composed expression on his face.

I was actually cursing him in my heart.

He's been dragging this out for quite a while now, hasn't he?

Why haven't the school and the alliance made any moves yet?

Just hold on a little longer...

"How much? Name your price." Qiao Bai was anxious, but his expression remained impassive.

Lucky four-leaf clover, oh lucky four-leaf clover.

If he doesn't activate his invincible luck effect soon, he really won't be able to hold on!

"One and a half million!"

"That's too expensive. A single Hua Bird on the market costs around three million. My friend said you can buy extraordinary creatures here for about a fifth of that price." Qiao Bai pretended to be angry and looked at the poacher: "What? Are you deliberately trying to rip me off?"

"Is this Chinese bird the same as a regular Chinese bird?" When it came to the price, the poacher got excited and didn't care about leaving quickly. He had to make the price clear, because his business required a good reputation!

"This is a mutated Hua Bird! Mutated extraordinary creatures are already priced 100% higher than their original value. This Hua Bird would be worth at least six million on the market!"

"Isn't it polite enough that I'm only taking 1.5 million from you!"

Qiao Bai: "Five hundred thousand. The mutation of this Hua bird is not good, so the price will be discounted."

"Bullshit! One and a half million, not a penny less!"

"If you don't believe me, I can point it out to you."

The two argued back and forth for a long time. The poacher was so angry that his face turned red, but Qiao Bai remained calm and rational.

The boy, who was wriggling toward the edge of the cage door, was stunned and even stopped wriggling.

For some reason... the boy subconsciously felt that something was not quite right.

This femme fatale... doesn't seem to really want to buy this Hua bird?

Even the boy with clear, fish-like lips could sense it.

Not to mention poachers who are far more intelligent than him.

I was blinded by beauty and money, which is why I argued with Qiao Bai for most of the day without thinking.

It stopped abruptly.

The poachers realized their payment request was wrong!

He stared wide-eyed at Qiao Bai, his finger trembling as he pointed at him: "You...you're deliberately messing with me, aren't you?!"

Qiao Bai slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

"I thought you wouldn't notice." Qiao Bai took two steps back.

He took two more steps back and then crawled into the cage on his own.

at the same time.

A furious shout came from afar—

"Poacher, you're surrounded!"

"Hands up! Stop resisting!"

"Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Several deep voices mingled together, attacking the poachers from all directions!

Furthermore, more than one powerful aura enveloped this place!

The white wolf and steel-tailed tiger, who were unconscious after being injected with the drug, couldn't help but tremble under such oppressive aura. They huddled together, their eyes tightly closed, and made "whimpering" sounds from their throats.

The poachers' eyes were bloodshot with rage!

At that moment, he finally realized it!

It's a trap!

The appearance of "Zhou Xinran" is a trap!

The purpose was to buy time, trap him here, so that the fifth-tier beast tamers stationed at the city wall could arrive in time to capture him!

"A two-headed snake, highly venomous!"

Qiao Bai quickly retreated into the iron cage and slammed the cage door shut behind him!

We can't let the two-headed snake bite him again!

At the same time, Qiao Bai kept cursing the poacher's entire family in his mind!

Hey!

Damn it! ! !

I never expected it to be a widespread gas attack!

Qiao Bai wasn't sure if the advanced protective shield could completely block this wave of poison gas attacks.

Good thing...

This purple item, second only to the gold item, is even more effective than Qiao Bai had imagined!

The blackish-purple poisonous fog enveloped the iron cage, but Qiao Bai's body emitted a faint white light from the inside out, completely isolating all the poisonous gases from the outside.

Unable to break through the small cage trapping Xiao Wu and return it to the Beast Taming Space in his spiritual sea, Qiao Bai could only hold Xiao Wu tightly in his arms to protect it from the poisonous fog.

There's no problem with either the person or the bird.

The problem... turned into another boy in the iron cage.

Qiao Bai: "..."

I feel a little... just a tiny bit guilty.

If he hadn't run to this place, the poisonous fog wouldn't have enveloped the boy as well.
