Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 -161: The Sewer

Black Mud, a Ground Type Pet Beast, is entirely covered in black soil. Due to its black body, the whites of its eyes and its teeth are exceptionally bright.

Its species’ evolutionary limit is that of a High Level Pet Beast, which, in theory, should mean not many Beast Tamers would want to make a contract with it. Yet, in reality, a significant number of Beast Tamers contract with it every year.

Because it’s easy to keep alive, normally satiating its hunger by eating soil.

Therefore, many Beast Tamers from less affluent families choose to make a contract with it, while a small portion of Beast Tamers are attracted by its special abilities.

Independent space and mud liquefaction.

The former means that anything swallowed by Black Mud can be stored inside its body without any damage, provided it doesn’t actively absorb it, and the latter allows its body to liquefy into mud, meaning it can squeeze into any crack or crevice.

These two abilities combined make it a leading contender in the theft world.

“Wake up,” Qiao Sang said, having confirmed that the dark and slippery Pet Beast in his hand was Black Mud. He shook it by the handle, trying to wake it up.

Seeing no response, he pinched the flesh on its face.

Black Mud remained as responsive as a pool of sludge.

It seemed he couldn’t count on it…

Qiao Sang immediately chose not to waste any more time and turned to Fang Sisi, “There should be a female NPC below us, right? See if she’s inside,” he reminded her.

Although she was eager to rush off and find Yaobao, the eeriness of the situation, coupled with the fact that she only had Xiao Xunbao, a Treasure-seeking Ghost that had just turned a month old, naturally made her prefer caution.

“Okay…” Fang Sisi snapped back to reality, knocked on the ground twice more and loudly asked, “Is anyone down there?”

No one responded to her.

“Hello, is anyone there?”

Still no movement.

Fang Sisi turned back, shook her head, and said, “It seems there’s no one inside, let’s keep moving.”

“Wait,” Qiao Sang said.

“What…” Fang Sisi’s words caught in her throat, and she fell back in horror, sitting on the ground and scrambling back several meters on her hands.

Qiao Sang casually tapped above his head, and a grey and yellow Pet Beast without legs suddenly appeared above her.

A Spectral-type Pet!

Fang Sisi’s heart raced as she stared wide-eyed. She wasn’t afraid of this secret room because she was fully aware of all its horror settings and acquainted with some NPCs.

But that didn’t mean she wasn’t scared!

The Spectral-type Pet Beast that appeared above Qiao Sang’s head was definitely not an NPC from this secret room!

The unexpected appearance of the Spectral-type Pet Beast, the unease of not being able to summon the Cotton Caterpillar, and the terrifying atmosphere around her made Fang Sisi’s heart leap to her throat.

It was at this moment that Qiao Sang said, “Xun Xun, go down and have a look.”

“Xun～”

Xiao Xunbao nodded and floated under the stone slab.

Fang Sisi was dumbfounded, momentarily forgetting how to think. What was that?

Xiao Xunbao?

Treasure-seeking Ghost?!

That’s right, this Spectral-type Pet Beast resembled a Treasure-seeking Ghost…

But why could Qiao Sang command it?!

Fang Sisi swallowed her saliva, looking at Qiao Sang with complex emotions, “This Treasure-seeking Ghost is?”

“My Pet Beast,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Fang Sisi with a moment of surprise. “Why did you run so far away?”

Fang Sisi: “…”

You tell me why!

“Treasure-seeking Ghost, your Pet Beast?” Fang Sisi incredulously asked for confirmation.

“Yeah.”

“You’ve contracted with two Pet Beasts?!” Fang Sisi’s voice rose with astonishment.

“Right, I know you want to praise me, but now’s not the time for that, finding Yaobao and Cotton Caterpillar is what’s important,” Qiao Sang said calmly.

Fang Sisi: “…”

She didn’t feel like talking anymore.
