Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 164: Mysterious Cicada with Three Eyes (Three Chapters Combined)_4

"Captain Liu, Target 10 has appeared at 99 Tongshang Road."

"Captain Liu, Target 6 has been captured under Qianshan Bridge."

"Captain Liu, a family at 27 Kuantun Road called to report that their child suddenly ate ten bowls of rice in one night; we suspect Target 12 is there."

"Captain Liu, 231 Qinshi Road called to report they couldn\'t summon their Pet Beasts and they can\'t get in touch with the staff inside; we suspect Target 2 has entered."

The man who had been looking down at the files raised his head and asked, "Is Target 2 the Dreamless Doll?"

"Yes, Captain Liu."

"Do the patrol team members know about this?" the man asked.

"We\'ve already contacted the patrol team."

The man lowered his head and flipped through the files, saying, "The most dangerous Pet Beasts that have come out of the cracks in the Secret Realm this time, apart from the Three-eyed Spectral Cicada, is the Dreamless Doll. Send more people over there."

"Yes, Captain Liu."

"Wait." The man suddenly called out, not looking at the files in his hand but looking at the person reporting, with a grave expression, "The Dreamless Doll that came out didn\'t show any abilities to prevent the summoning of Pet Beasts when Qian Song from the guard squad fought with it."

"It\'s possible that the creature inside is not Target 2, the Dreamless Doll, but Target 1, the Three-eyed Spectral Cicada. I\'ll go with you."

...

The secret chamber.

The sewer.

Fang Sisi swallowed hard as she looked at the Pet Beast in front of her, then turned her head to lightly bump Qiao Sang\'s arm and whispered, "This isn\'t an NPC from the secret chamber; it looks like it means harm. What do you think? Can we beat it?"

Qiao Sang asked, "You\'ve been here for a few days too; do you know of anyone that has a pact with the Dreamless Doll?"

Qiao Sang glanced at her and said, "The Dreamless Doll, a Spectral-type High Level Pet Beast – you want me to try fighting it?"

Fang Sisi laughed awkwardly and then said, "Actually, it might not necessarily be here with bad intentions; maybe it was sent by people outside to check on the situation."

Qiao Sang asked, "You\'ve been here for a few days too; do you know of anyone that has a pact with the Dreamless Doll?"

Fang Sisi shook her head desperately.

Qiao Sang sighed helplessly. What a disaster this was; it seemed the strange incidents discovered in the secret chamber must have been the doing of the Dreamless Doll before them.

"Black Mud!"

Just then, Black Mud stepped forward and confronted the Dreamless Doll with a shout.

As Qiao Sang thought the Dreamless Doll would at least communicate first, its already red eyes emitted a red light and the next second, Black Mud closed its eyes.

And fell over.

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

If one can fight, no need for nonsense—totally different from the Pet Beasts she had seen previously! Yaobao would at least strike a pose and give a threatening laugh or something before fighting.

The Dreamless Doll started attacking without any warning or reason.

"Xiao Xunbao, ambush! Yaobao, attack from the front!" Qiao Sang made a snap decision.

Fang Sisi stood frozen in place, scared silly. How did a fight suddenly start?

In the past, Pet Beast fights she had seen were either small skirmishes or in regulated contest arenas; she had never experienced a scene where the opponent, whose origins were unknown, just began fighting.

"Get behind me." Qiao Sang pulled Fang Sisi behind him.

Fang Sisi and the Cotton Caterpillar watched Qiao Sang\'s back with tear-filled eyes—this damned sense of security!

The first to carry out Qiao Sang\'s command was the Treasure-seeking Ghost.

It immediately vanished out of sight, but after the Dreamless Doll\'s red eyes moved around, it suddenly extended its right claw, conjuring a black Shadow Ball and hurling it towards the front right.

"Seek!"

The Treasure-seeking Ghost, seeing the Shadow Ball just 0.01 centimeters from it, shrank its pupils and forgot to dodge for a moment.

Just as the Shadow Ball was about to hit the Treasure-seeking Ghost, it suddenly disappeared on the spot.

"Dream."

The Dreamless Doll paused, then turned its head toward the human with a pale face before it.

Qiao Sang felt his heart race. That\'s right, Spectral Series Pet Beasts can see others of their kind that are invisible.

It was close, just a moment away, and if the Shadow Ball had hit the Treasure-seeking Ghost, it might have been knocked unconscious by the High Level Pet Beast\'s Shadow Ball.

Luckily, she had been quick enough to summon the Treasure-seeking Ghost back to the Beast Taming Codex.

After all, the response time of the Dreamless Doll was far superior to that of the Treasure-seeking Ghost.

Qiao Sang turned to look at Yaobao, whose fur was standing on end, staring intently at the Dreamless Doll. Although the confrontation just now lasted only a few seconds, according to Yaobao\'s usual attacking speed, it shouldn\'t have hesitated to attack by now.

Indeed, it must have been influenced by the Spectral-type Pet Beast...

Qiao Sang made a hand sign and summoned the Treasure-seeking Ghost once more.
