Chapter 193: Chapter 183: Hey Kid, Co Over Here
Though the current Beast Taming society appears peaceful on the surface, where there are people, there is a dark side.
Before Pet Beasts beca popular, there were only human traffickers, but as the Beast Taming society developed, the profession of beast traffickers erged.
Those engaged in this profession are typically ordinary people or low-level Beast Tars.
They neither dare venture into Secret Realms to capture Pet Beasts, nor dare lay hands on those that have undergone any evolution.
Because even those that have evolved only once generally are not very small in size, and a mid-level Pet Beast upon sensing sothing amiss can cause quite a stir with a random release of a skill.
What’s more, even if they were successful, in the event the Beast Tar who owns the mid-level Pet Beast is ranked E or above, not only would the risk escalate dramatically, but also the traffickers couldn’t forcibly break the contract with the beast.
So the targets of their trafficking are without exception small-sized, naive, and easily deceived low-level Pet Beasts.
Of course, beast trafficking is an isolated incident, and every ti it happens, it makes the social news.
After all, there are very few people engaged in this line of work nowadays.
The last ti a beast trafficker made the news was three months ago.
According to his confession, he had staked out a training institution for a month and finally set his sights on a small Jupu without a Beast Tar to pick it up.
So he spent a fortune to buy Fragrant Fruit, which was highly attractive to Grass-type Pet Beasts, and, just as he expected, the small Jupu grew close to him.
Later, he convinced it to co with him for more Fragrant Fruit and successfully took the small Jupu onto a long-distance hacker bus that required no identity verification.
Since the contract would allow the Beast Tar to sense any abnormalities in the Pet Beast’s body, he could only appease the small Jupu with good food and drink while the hacker bus had not yet left the area.
As a result, that very evening, in a flash of white light, the small Jupu evolved into a Huan Tianpu.
But that wasn’t all.
One minute later, while eating the Fragrant Fruit he had bought with borrowed money, the Huan Tianpu suddenly disappeared from the hacker bus.
The beast trafficker was instantaneously dumbfounded.
It was only after his arrest that he learned that the owner of the small Jupu was a B-rank Beast Tar, and the small Jupu was his fifth contracted Pet Beast.
No matter where the small Jupu wandered off to, as long as it was still in the area, it could be summoned back directly with a B-rank Beast Taming Codex.
And his presence was fully revealed by the now evolved Huan Tianpu.
After learning the truth, the beast trafficker broke down in tears on the spot, vowed to turn over a new leaf, and swore off the trafficking business forever.
After the news reported the incident, quite a few beast traffickers washed their hands of their past deeds, and the already rare cases of Pet Beast trafficking hadn’t occurred even once in several months.
However, Qiao Sang felt he couldn’t be careless.
After all, it wasn’t that there were no beast traffickers left, just fewer of them.
Pet Beasts like Ke Guan Miao that walked down the street exuding the aura of Alliance Currency could be targeted at any mont.
The Beast Tar of Ke Guan Miao is really careless… Qiao Sang silently reflected and then asked, “How did it co to specify Treasure-seeking Ghost?”
“I recomnded it,” the receptionist replied. “It wanted to find a low-level Pet Beast capable of Teleportation to spar with, and your Treasure-seeking Ghost is the only one in our club that fits the bill.”
…
After getting a clear understanding of Ke Guan Miao’s information, Qiao Sang walked into Training Field No. 2.
There he saw a Pet Beast wearing a sun hat and sunglasses sitting in the first row of the spectator seats, elegantly eating the complintary fruit provided by the club.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a while, if he hadn’t known in advance that the other party was Ke Guan Miao, he might not have recognized it with the hat and sunglasses on.
“Ke Guan?”
Ke Guan Miao, hearing the commotion, turned its head and tilted it elegantly.
Qiao Sang was silent for a mont, then spoke up, “Xiao Xunbao, translate for .”
“Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao the Treasure-seeking Ghost appeared and proceeded with the real-ti translation.
He didn’t say much, just introduced his own identity.
After confirming that Xiao Xunbao could teleport, Ke Guan Miao took out a phone from the bag placed by his side using his paw, turned on the cara, and aid it at the training ground.
Then he removed his sun hat and sunglasses and walked to one side of the training ground with extrely elegant steps.
Goodness, he’s even recording… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but deeply admire Ke Guan Miao’s skills as a Beast Tar.
In so sense, training a Pet Beast to this level wasn’t easy at all.
Qiao Sang turned to look at Ke Guan Miao, now fully revealed.
A huge head, short limbs, a body covered in white fur, and purple eyes, with little flat feet and ears also in purple.
Along with the seductive curves and the purple, slanting hooked tail, plus the purple crown perched atop its head, the creature exuded elegance in just two words.
“Ke Guan,” Ke Guan Miao called out elegantly, signaling to start.
“Xiao Xunbao, go ahead,” Qiao Sang nodded to the Treasure-seeking Ghost.
“Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao floated into the training ground and imdiately vanished from sight.
Qiao Sang watched Ke Guan Miao’s movents seriously, not daring to be careless.
This battle was different from the past ones, as she couldn’t react based on the commands of a Beast Tar by her side.
And as a sparring partner, she had to give relevant advice during the fight.
Ke Guan Miao, unfazed by the disappearance of the Treasure-seeking Ghost, stepped forward with his right front paw, and a blue-glowing energy shield radiated outward from him, stopping only when it reached a radius of about 50 centiters.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. Mysterious Bodyguard, a defensive Skill, could envelop oneself with magical power, preventing one from falling into unusual states.
It seed quite useful, but its fatal flaw was that it couldn’t prevent abnormal states caused by an opponent’s special traits.
In short, to Xiao Xunbao with the Penetration trait, it was useless…
After deploying the Mysterious Bodyguard, Ke Guan Miao elegantly raised his head, as if to say, co at if you dare.
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao reappeared, curiously approaching the Mysterious Bodyguard’s shield to take a closer look.
It stretched out a short claw and poked the glowing blue shield, rippling where it was touched, its claw passing directly through and into the shield.
“Xun?”
Xiao Xunbao tilted its head in confusion.
The next second, its entire body disregarded the blue shield and penetrated through, blinking innocently at Ke Guan Miao.
“Ke Guan!”
Ke Guan Miao got a fright, his fur puffing up and losing all semblance of elegance.
Clearly, it had never encountered such a situation in its past battles.
Now it was her ti to step in… Qiao Sang cleared her throat and explained:
“Your Mysterious Bodyguard move can defend against disruptive Skills, but it’s not very effective against fast opponents or those with certain special traits.”
“If just now the Treasure-seeking Ghost had used Teleportation to get close to you and attack, then your move wouldn’t have been deployed in ti, and you would have been injured.”
“Ke Guan…” Ke Guan Miao looked at Qiao Sang blankly.
Xiao Xunbao took the opportunity to stretch out its tongue, trying to sneak a lick.
But when the tongue was only 0.05 centiters away from Ke Guan Miao, Ke Guan Miao jumped back a step, and its right front paw extended in a gesture to pause.
“Ke Guan!”
