Chapter 1576: Chapter 10: Lost Town – Reality Version (Double-Length)
It was so obedient before that Qiao Sang almost forgot it was actually a wild pet beast... she sighed inwardly and quickly followed along.
Lubao led the way ahead, weaving through the streets, and after a ten-minute journey, finally stopped in front of a grand and luxurious shop.
"Wuwu!"
Lubao’s eyes lost their purple glow, and it pointed at the shop with its paw, letting out an excited cry, indicating that there were many treasures inside.
Qiao Sang and Mikaela looked up at the sign embedded above the doorway that read "Extraordinary Pet Beast Tool Store" and fell silent.
"Xun Xun."
"Xun Xun." Little Treasure Hunter floated next to Lubao, explaining seriously that everything inside could only be purchased with money.
"Wuwu..."
Lubao seemed to half-understand.
Mikaela glanced at Lubao and turned to say, "I heard there’s a place near Xi Han City that’s shrouded in ghost fog all year round, not far from this street. Want to check it out?"
Ghost fog is different from regular fog, as its color leans towards black and it gathers various negative energies. It’s said that only places with abundant Spectral Series energy can produce such fog.
Without thinking, Qiao Sang replied, "Alright."
Now that she was a B-level Beastmaster, with an S-rank Beastmaster accompanying her, she had no fear of going to places surrounded by ghost fog, nor even Secret Realms full of Spectral-type Pet Beasts.
After setting the route on her navigation, Qiao Sang promptly called over Little Treasure Hunter to start locating.
"Wuwu?"
Lubao floated over, wearing a puzzled expression, and called out, asking if they weren’t treasure-hunting anymore.
"Steel Sword."
Gangbao’s voice translated in her mind simultaneously.
Qiao Sang internally retorted, hoping it wouldn’t lead them into someone else’s home, and smiled:
"We’ll find another place to search."
As soon as she finished speaking, Little Treasure Hunter completed the locating process.
The group, along with their pet beasts, vanished from the original spot.
Qiao Sang found herself in darkness, and when light returned, she was standing on a narrow path leading to a wide flat area, dotted with various small stalls and bustling with people and pet beasts.
If it weren’t for the lightly black ghost fog visible in the distance, she might have thought Little Treasure Hunter had led them to some large trading market by mistake.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter gazed at the ghost fog far off, appearing dazed, as if drawn by something.
The aura of ghost fog has a deadly attraction for Spectral-type Pet Beasts. As a General-level Pet Beast, Little Treasure Hunter could sense the aura from a distance, but Lubao, being of lower rank, wasn’t affected.
"Wuwu!"
Lubao looked at the scene ahead, eyes glowing purple and then sparkling brightly multiple times, pointing forward to indicate that there were also many good items here.
Qiao Sang’s curiosity was piqued. Items in shops often have confirmed levels and are clearly priced, but items at these stalls can usually be bargained for, and sometimes one might find a good deal.
Mikaela noticed Qiao Sang’s interest and said:
"Go take a look."
With that, he stepped forward.
Qiao Sang turned to Lubao and said seriously:
"It’s all on you this time."
"Wuwu!" Lubao nodded solemnly.
Qiao Sang stepped forward.
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter snapped out of its daze and quickly followed.
On the flat ground, Qiao Sang traversed through the crowd and Spectral-type Pet Beasts, inspecting the surrounding stalls.
Mikaela glanced casually at each stall, seeming uninterested.
"Wuwu!"
Suddenly, Lubao’s eyes filled with a purple glow as it stopped in front of a stall, pointing at a stone exuding black energy and letting out a call.
Qiao Sang approached, and before she could inquire, the stall owner said:
"Your Lubao is truly a treasure appraiser; this Negative Storage Stone has reached A-level. Once you’re inside, it’ll guarantee your negative emotions won’t erupt, ensuring you come back with a clear mind."
Ghost fog, once inhaled, can trigger negative emotions. It affects humans and pet beasts of other attributes, with the exception of Spectral-type Pet Beasts. Simply wearing the Negative Storage Stone can absorb the surrounding black fog, minimizing its impact.
Rather than spending money on this, it would be better to have Lubao use Healing Sound Wave... Qiao Sang casually asked:
"How much is it?"
The stall owner’s eyes lit up and he said, "An A-level Negative Storage Stone is rare; you can have it for 1.99 million."
1.99 million, why not just rob me instead? A-level Negative Storage Stones are jet black, this one’s bluish-black at most, B-level tops, and you think I’m a fool... Without saying more, Qiao Sang turned to leave.
