At least half of what he said is untrue... Qiao Sang grumbled internally.
He had thawed so many Pet Beasts himself and knew that they were completely unconscious when frozen, aware of nothing. If Little Treasure Spirit hadn’t spoken to them, they probably wouldn’t even know how they left the seabed.
The police continued:
"Then so elderly or terminally ill Pet Beasts and Beast Tars, hearing this news, specifically ca to seek out Ice Spirit to freeze themselves, hoping to be thawed decades later. Because of that, there was a tourist surge here for a while. But Ice Spirit had its own standards for freezing targets and wasn’t willing to freeze just anyone. Eventually, the visitors dwindled, and over ti, this information was forgotten by the public."
"There was only one piece of news that got out, saying that Ice Spirit froze a Beast Tar who was nearly 200 years old. This Beast Tar had a child when she was over a hundred, and when her health failed, knowing she didn’t have much ti left, her only wish was to see her daughter get married."
"However, she didn’t want her daughter to marry soone hastily due to her lack of ti. So she sought out Ice Spirit and asked it to freeze her. It’s unknown how they reached an agreent, but Ice Spirit granted her wish. When her daughter got married, she appeared at the wedding. This news was quickly forgotten, only rediscovered recently when we delved into Ice Spirit’s archives."
At this point, he sighed:
"If you hadn’t brought so many missing Pet Beasts this ti, I would have thought these stories were all untrue."
It turns out that Ice Spirit’s freezing effect also induces creatures into a hibernation state, allowing them to revive decades later... Qiao Sang fell silent.
If that’s the case, no wonder the authorities were slow to send people and Pet Beasts to deal with Ice Spirit. If Ice Spirit is willing to cooperate, it could potentially help many terminal patients extend their lives.
Just as he was pondering this, the police continued with an admiring tone:
"I didn’t expect that during my tenure, soone would venture alone into Ice Spirit’s territory and rescue the missing Pet Beasts. I represent..."
Before he could finish, Qiao Sang interrupted:
"I wasn’t alone."
The police paused, confused: "Was there soone else?"
Qiao Sang paused too, suddenly recalling sothing he had forgotten.
Oh damn! Teacher Mikaela!
...
anwhile.
Beneath the pitch-black night sky.
Mikaela and Pen Jiami were floating high above, staring down at the panting Ice Spirit below.
Suddenly, a phone vibrated.
Mikaela pulled out her phone, relaxed upon seeing the caller ID.
It seems everything has been obtained...
"Let’s go." Mikaela spoke.
Pen Jiami’s eyes instantly glowed blue, and with their Beast Tar, they vanished from sight.
Ice Spirit watched as the people and Pet Beast disappeared into the air, silently sighed with relief, and turned to spread its Cold Qi.
The ground ahead instantly froze over with a layer of ice.
Ice Spirit maneuvered its body, gliding forward on the icy surface.
...
In the sky above the sea.
Mikaela glanced at the calm surroundings below, took another look around, and dialed the phone back.
After just one ring, the call was connected.
"Hey, teacher, why did the line suddenly cut off earlier?" Qiao Sang’s voice ca through the speaker.
"I was in the middle of Teleportation." Mikaela replied.
"That makes sense." Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was wondering why there was suddenly no signal."
Mikaela asked:
"Where are you now?"
Qiao Sang replied apologetically: "I forgot to tell you, I am at the police station now. When I ssaged you earlier, I thought I’d go straight back to the inn. Surprisingly, those Pet Beasts frozen into ice sculptures were alive after being thawed, so I brought them to the police station first."
Mikaela paused for a few seconds before asking:
"You ssaged ?"
Uh? Qiao Sang froze for a mont: "You didn’t see it? I sent it after coming out of Ice Difficulty Island."
Mikaela asked: "When did you leave Ice Difficulty Island?"
Qiao Sang thought for a bit and said: "A few hours ago."
Mikaela: "???"
The other side of the phone went silent.
Qiao Sang said "hello" several tis before Mikaela’s voice ca back on:
"Did you find all the Ice Dissolving Crystals?"
Qiao Sang responded with a "yes": "I brought them all, but I’m not sure if we found the level we’re looking for."
There were many people and Pet Beasts around, so she couldn’t elaborate.
Mikaela chuckled: "You all move pretty fast."
Qiao Sang marveled: "I didn’t expect it either; Little Treasure Spirit’s ring expanded to about ten ters in diater, and with Telekinesis, it was collected quickly."
