"Mumu!"
Mumula the creature desperately struggled.
The little girl, frightened, moved behind her mother again.
Sensing the little girl’s movement, Mumula instantly calmed down.
"Is this the Mumula you were talking about?" Qiao Sang asked.
"It is." Mai Ya said with certainty, "There haven’t been any other Mumula appearing around here, and it always has the smell of a rubbish heap on it. I’m sure it’s definitely this one!"
Actually, as soon as Mumula came in, Qiao Sang had smelled an unpleasant odor.
It seems it is this Mumula... Seeing that the task publisher has confirmed, Qiao Sang didn’t waste time and immediately said,
"In that case, I will take Mumula away now."
Mai Ya said enthusiastically,
"Have a drink of water before you go!"
She hadn’t expected that the young Beast Tamer in front of her would catch Mumula before Nadapeng arrived, which was a surprise that delighted her so much she almost wanted to give a five-star review on her phone right away.
"No need," Qiao Sang declined.
This task is wasted. There is still time for the assessment, so I need to hurry and take on another more challenging task...
Seeing this, Mai Ya didn’t insist. Feeling completely satisfied, she stepped forward, opened the door with a smile, and said, "Let me walk you out."
When Mumula saw the door being opened and realized it was being taken away, it started to struggle desperately again.
"Mumu!"
It cried out, and suddenly, two bare vines shot out from the palms of its hands, coiling around the support pole under the coffee table, in an obvious refusal to leave.
On the side, Gangbao, who had been quietly waiting, looked at Mumula with a thoughtful expression.
"Gangbao."
Just as Qiao Sang was about to have Xiao Xunbao directly hypnotize Mumula and take it away, Gangbao called out, indicating that Mumula seemed to have something to say.
Qiao Sang paused, then looked at Mumula and asked,
"Do you have something you want to say?"
"Mumu..."
Mumula looked at the unfamiliar human in front of it hesitantly and then shifted its gaze to the little girl nearby, as if affirming the relationship between the two.
The little girl, seeing Mumula look her way, became scared and wanted to hide behind her mother, but she would have to pass by Mumula to get there, so she subconsciously hid behind Qiao Sang instead.
Seeing this, Mumula’s eyes dimmed, but then its expression turned firm. The vine holding the support pole retracted and changed direction, rapidly attacking the nearby wall.
Before Qiao Sang could react, several Flying Leaf Quick Knives suddenly struck from outside the door, quickly cutting the vine into several pieces.
Then, a slightly hoarse voice followed:
"Mai Ya, I told you I could help you. Why did you go and find another Beast Tamer?"
Qiao Sang followed the direction of the voice.
She saw a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties with sunken eyes, a hooked nose, thin lips, and a General-level Pet Beast that was green all over, with very short arms without fingers, and a large, round, yellow mouth.
The middle-aged man looked at Qiao Sang with a smile, "Turns out to be just a kid."
Mai Ya’s face darkened, "You are not welcome here, please leave."
"If it weren’t for me, your home would have been destroyed by this Mumula countless times," the middle-aged man said with a laugh as he walked in, not taking off his shoes, as if entering his own home, boldly walking towards Mai Ya. He took the cup of milk from her hands and took a sip.
Just like that, he’s trying to cut in... Qiao Sang internally criticized, but outwardly she called out with a puzzled tone,
"Nadapeng?"
"What, you’ve heard of me?" Nadapeng glanced over.
It seems it is him... Qiao Sang signaled to Xiao Xunbao with her eyes.
Xiao Xunbao immediately got the message.
The Shadow Control that had bound Mumula suddenly disappeared.
The next second, Xiao Xunbao appeared in front of Nadapeng, eyes glowing purple.
Nadapeng was startled, his pupils dilating. Before he could even start cursing, an intense wave of sleepiness hit him.
The General-level Pet Beast, with the large yellow mouth, realized something was wrong and opened its mouth to gather energy, but a scorching fireball boomingly struck it.
"Gugu!"
In the suddenly brightened firelight, the General-level Pet Beast let out a scream and flew out the door like a fading shadow.
Nadapeng closed his eyes and fell forward.
Xiao Xunbao sidestepped, allowing Nadapeng to face-plant straight into the ground with a heavy thud.
Everything happened so quickly that both Mai Ya and the little girl were left in stunned silence by the scene before them.
"Do you have a rope?" Qiao Sang asked calmly.
Suddenly, Mumu, who was tied up, called out earnestly.
"Gangbao?"
Gangbao, who had been quiet next to them, let out a concerned cry, asking if it was true.
"Mumu!"
Mumu nodded seriously.
"What do you mean ’is it true’?" Qiao Sang, who could only understand Gangbao, couldn’t help but ask.
"Xun Xun~"
Before Gangbao could speak, Xiao Xunbao already started translating.
This guy says there’s a Scale Armored Moth in this house.
"Xun Xun?"
After translating, Xiao Xunbao tilted its head in confusion.
But what is a Scale Armored Moth?
"Scale Armored Moth?" Qiao Sang asked in confusion.
When Mai Ya heard the words "Scale Armored Moth," she froze for a moment before something clicked and she asked in a panic:
"Scale Armored Moth? Why all of a sudden talking about Scale Armored Moths?"
"This Mumu says there’s a Scale Armored Moth in this house," Qiao Sang explained.
"Impossible!" When Mai Ya heard this, her face changed dramatically, with her first reaction being disbelief.
Seeing her reaction as somewhat too extreme, Qiao Sang asked:
"Is there a problem?"
Mai Ya took a deep breath, composed herself, and explained:
"Scale Armored Moths are a type of colony-living Bug-Type Pet. They like to cluster and build their nests together. If they were in my house, I would definitely know about it."
"Mumu!"
Just then, a green figure screamed as it was hurled into the room, crashing heavily against the wall.
The wall, as if made of tofu dregs, instantly developed spiderweb-like cracks.
The wall crumbled away, revealing a gaping hole.
A mass of densely clustered white pet beasts came into view. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
