Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 90 - 86 The Biggest Case

Chapter 90: Chapter 86 The Biggest Case

This medical spray can only heal external injuries, just spray it on the wound.

Qiao Sang decided to treat the magnetic beast she had brought back to the mountain first, in case the other one that tried to strike her with lightning woke up earlier and decided to give her another hit.

Since the medicine was not as immediate in effect as healing skills, it took 15 minutes before the magnetic beast woke up.

After waking up, the magnetic beast was a bit dazed and looked around anxiously once it came to its senses.

With a turn of its head, it found its mother still unconscious on the ground.

...

Seeing that its mother’s wounds had been treated, the magnetic beast sighed in relief; only then did it notice the human nearby.

“Magnetic.”

“Magnetic, magnetic.”

The magnetic beast explained anxiously to Qiao Sang.

Thanks to the Fire-Toothed Dog acting as a translator, Qiao Sang quickly understood their relationship—mother and child.

Just as she was about to speak, the other magnetic beast woke up as well.

The Fire-Toothed Dog instantly went on guard.

As it turned out, being on guard was the right decision, for the mother magnetic beast sought out Qiao Sang almost the moment she opened her eyes.

Just as the lightning around her body was about to strike again, the Fire-Toothed Dog also wrapped itself in flames.

A battle was about to erupt.

At that moment, Qiao Sang quickly scooped up the slower-reacting magnetic beast and lifted it in front of her as a shield.

“Don’t release the lightning! Let’s talk this out!”

The mother and child magnetic beasts exchanged looks, one confused and the other a mix of heartache and anger.

A second later, the electricity around the mother magnetic beast dissipated.

The Fire-Toothed Dog was instantly stunned—this worked?

“Quick, explain to your mom,” Qiao Sang said to the magnetic beast in her hands.

Five minutes later.

The mother magnetic beast looked at Qiao Sang with an apologetic expression.

It was clear that the misunderstanding had been resolved.

“Alright, now that you’ve reunited with your family, we won’t disturb you any longer,” Qiao Sang said to the magnetic beast.

She still had to look for wild pet beasts, and if she couldn’t find any in the next half hour, it would be time to go back.

The magnetic beast nodded in gratitude, but its mother blocked Qiao Sang’s path.

“Magnetic, magnetic!”

“Magnetic!”

The Fire-Toothed Dog once again took on the role of translator.

It turned out the mother magnetic beast wished to repay her with tree fruit.

Qiao Sang was going to refuse, but changed her mind and accepted.

Tree fruit favored by wild pet beasts was certain to contain various kinds of energy.

Although one couldn’t expect to find valuable fruit trees in the mountains near a town, any spiritual plant was never useless.

If someone cultivated them deliberately, they definitely wouldn’t plant them on mountains with wild pet beasts.

Not to mention soil issues, there were also temperature considerations, the timing for fertilization, and balancing tree vigor that required human attention.

And then there was pinching and back-budding.

Tree fruit typically aimed for branching out and lush foliage, which led to the most fruit and made it easier for harvesting.

Pinching and back-budding are done to achieve this goal. To prevent tree fruit from concentrating nutrients at the very top, it’s necessary to suppress the growth at the top and help other parts to bud, allowing the nutrients to flow to other branches. This way, the growth of tree fruit can be ideal.

Ordinary fruit trees require attention to so many details, and those containing energy need even more careful cultivation, certainly not to be grown so haphazardly on a mountain that anyone can access.

Since it was a wild fruit, Qiao Sang no longer had any concerns.

The Magnetic Fierce Mouse’s mother led the way, and after 6 minutes, it dove into a thicket.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then followed.

…

Qitang Town.

Police Station.

A twenty-year-old young man, looking puzzled, said, “Even if it’s confirmed that the person entered Zhehai Province, they should’ve gone to Xianglin. Why come to our Hangkang?”

Sitting across from the young man was a middle-aged woman with a round face. Hearing this, she said, “The route has been traced. After evading surveillance, the person settled down near Ming Lane. He was photographed by a female college student because he was handsome, and she shared the photo in her group, which is how the police noticed him.”

The middle-aged woman chuckled and added, “Sometimes, being handsome isn’t always a good thing.”

The young man frowned slightly and said, “A photo was even taken, yet Zhou Xian has managed to elude discovery up to now.”

Nowadays, there are surveillance cameras everywhere, leaving identity information for nearly every whereabouts and action.

Information on pet beasts is all registered with the Beast Taming Center. Even if he sent his pet beasts to act on his behalf, they should have been screened out immediately.

As a C-ranked Beast Tamer, and quite a handsome one at that, even if he hid away in some mountain region, he should’ve been noticed by the locals by now.

Yet, there’s been no word for so many days.

Plastic surgery? Gender reassignment?

Could it be that he contracted a pet beast that could disguise his face with mud?

But according to the records, he’d only been a C-ranked Beast Tamer for a year, and all of his pet beasts were accounted for. It’s unlikely that he could have contracted a fifth pet beast so quickly.

Unless he’s hidden away at the base of a mountain, in a spot where not even a single soul can be seen.

But how would he manage food and drink?

Beast Tamers need to consider not only their own sustenance but their pet beasts’ diets as well.

He remembered that the man’s records stated he had two General-level Pet Beasts, one High-Level Pet Beast, and one mid-level Pet Beast.

The sustenance for these four pet beasts couldn’t be easily found just anywhere.

The middle-aged woman took a sip of tea from the desk and said, “In any case, he’s seriously injured, and his pet beasts are injured too. He doesn’t dare go to the hospital, so it’s just a matter of time before he’s caught.”

“You don’t have to worry. That man won’t make it to us. Qitang Town is crowded, the place is tiny, and no sooner did Ranran get engaged than the news traveled three streets over. If he dares show up here, believe it or not, even the vegetable seller, Wang Dajie, will know before the police do,” she continued.

Ye Ranran, sitting beside the middle-aged woman, was taken aback.

She hadn’t even spoken. How did she get dragged into this?

“It’s a matter of time before he’s caught, but the concern is that he might, out of desperation, lash out at the public,” the young man said worriedly.

A C-ranked Beast Tamer isn’t a small player. If we can’t locate his hideout in advance and evacuate the public to set up a covert defense, innocent people could definitely get hurt.

“Guang Bei, you’ve been at our station for two years now. What’s the biggest case you’ve come across?” the middle-aged woman asked.

Zhang Guangbei was taken aback and replied, “Isn’t it this case?”

The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, “The higher-ups only told us to be aware of this person, not that the case was ours to handle. Even if Zhou Xian came to Qitang, that would be a matter for those above to send someone. Our station doesn’t have a C-grade Beast Tamer to contend with him.”

“The biggest case is always the one you’re facing now. The biggest case you have right now is the theft this morning, where a newly captured wild pet beast was stolen. Nothing was caught on camera. Aren’t you curious?” she asked.

The young man’s train of thought was successfully diverted, and he argued, “It’s obvious that the Magnetic Fierce Mouse escaped on its own. It’s absurd that the owner expects us, the police, to help find a pet beast that escaped into the mountains. Who knows if this Magnetic Fierce Mouse that got away will attack ordinary people in town.”

…

Huangming Mountain.

Qiao Sang looked at the scenery before him, slightly surprised.

If it weren’t for the Magnetic Fierce Mouse leading the way, one would never suspect such a place existed within this densely vegetated mountain.
