Chapter 1487 The Returned Are Not Alone
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
"Search!"
Little Treasure Hunter shouted.
Someone fell down!
After he finished speaking, his eyes gleamed with a blue light.
The next second, the youth was controlled by an invisible force, turned over, and faced upwards.
His face turned blue and he was foaming at the mouth.
"Search!"
Little Treasure Hunter shouted again.
This person has been poisoned!
People and pets passing by heard the noise. Some glanced at it and then turned away without interest, while others glanced at the fallen youth, then looked at Little Treasure Hunter with a surprised expression, before turning away and continuing on their way.
No one, not even a pet, stopped for this.
Lu Bao peered through the zipper of the backpack at the fallen human, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her paw, trying to unzip it.
Knowing that food poisoning could easily occur in Yuan Kingdom, I didn't expect to see one so soon. Qiao Sang's lips twitched slightly as she took out her phone and asked:
"Teacher, what is the number for the Yuanguo Medical Emergency Center?"
Lu Bao silently withdrew her paws again.
Michaela glanced at the poisoned youth and said calmly, "Don't worry about him. His pets will carry him away soon."
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "What pet?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than two snake-like pets with first aid certificates around their necks suddenly appeared out of nowhere, carrying a stretcher. They skillfully used their tails to quickly wrap the young man up on the stretcher and then swiftly left.
"Teeth?"
Ya Bao looked curious and called out, indicating who they were.
"What's going on?" Qiao Sang asked, momentarily stunned.
Michaela laughed and said, "There are many poisonous pets in Yuan Kingdom. Besides food poisoning, there are various other ways to get poisoned. So here, the rescue service is very developed. Basically, as long as a person or pet falls to the ground, they will be taken to the Beast Taming Center or hospital by rescuers within ten seconds."
Ten seconds? That fast? No one made a call, and those two pets weren't psychic-type. How did they get here? A series of thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang's mind. Finally, she gathered them and asked:
"How did these rescuers get here so quickly? Aren't they at the animal control center and hospital?"
Michaela replied, "These are all part-time paramedics. Most people and pets who want to earn some extra money in Yuan Kingdom have taken this exam. Their main role is to send poisoned people and pets to treatment locations. As long as they are sent in time and are saved, 5% of the medical expenses will be given to the paramedics who brought them."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's heart stirred.
Five percent of the medical expenses are given to the rescuers. No wonder those two snake-like pets were so prompt and proactive. Although poisoning is common in Yuan Kingdom, if rescues are always like this, it seems there's no need to worry too much about the danger to their lives.
"Search!"
Little Treasure's eyes suddenly lit up, it raised its paw and barked, indicating that it also wanted to be a rescuer!
Michael gestured with his eyes to indicate the direction in which some passersby and pets were walking, and continued:
"See those people and pets carrying bags? Most of them have stretchers in their backpacks, so they can transport poisoned individuals at any time."
Qiao Sang looked in that direction and, sure enough, saw a group of people and their pets carrying backpacks. They were basically walking in pairs, side by side.
"Search?"
Little Treasure looked thoughtful and barked, as if to ask if it should also buy a stretcher, since it wouldn't cost too much money.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao gave him a "Are you stupid?" look and exclaimed.
Since you can teleport and move through space, why would you need a stretcher? Just transfer the poisoned person there directly.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter's eyes lit up, revealing an "Oh yeah" expression.
Seeing that Xiao Xunbao looked like he was about to dedicate himself to the rescue cause, Qiao Sang couldn't help but remind him, "Don't forget, your main task is to participate in more competitions and build up your popularity."
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter barked, indicating that it certainly wouldn't forget.
Qiao Sang was relieved. What Xiao Xunbao cared about most was being genuinely liked by everyone. Even if it occasionally took time to work as a paramedic, its ability to teleport shouldn't take up too much time.
After only about half a minute, Michaela stopped and said:
"We've arrived at the hotel."
Qiao Sang looked up and saw a black building in front of her that looked like a huge iron box. Apart from the sign that read "Non-Drug Hotel", there was no other color. It looked extremely oppressive, especially under the cloudy sky, and it looked like a scene from a horror movie.
"This hotel is quite unique," Qiao Sang finally managed to say after a long pause.
"Search."
Little Treasure Hunter swallowed hard and cried out, as if to say, "There can't be any ghosts here, right?"
Qingbao rolled her eyes.
"Tingting?"
Tingbao looked puzzled and called out, "Boss, you're a ghost, are you afraid of ghosts?"
Little Treasure Hunter suddenly stiffened, then raised his head and shouted:
"Looking around~"
Of course it's not afraid.
Qingbao rolled her eyes again.
Michaela said, "Although this hotel looks a bit ugly, all the materials inside are anti-toxic, making it the safest hotel in Yuan Kingdom."
After saying that, he went inside first.
Qiao Sang and Ya Bao quickly followed.
Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the spaciousness and luxurious decor of the lobby, where many materials appear to be made of marble and crystal, a stark contrast to the outside.
Michaela went to the front desk to check in.
A grass-like working pet wearing black gloves handed over a piece of paper and called out:
"Alone."
As it was speaking, a drop of its saliva accidentally dripped down and landed on the paper.
"laugh"
Wherever the saliva landed, it instantly corroded a hole.
Qiao Sang: "."
"Dudu." The grass-like working pet looked embarrassed, called out, and then handed over a brand new piece of paper.
Michaela calmly filled out the form, as if nothing had just happened.
Qiao Sang leaned closer and whispered, "Teacher, is this hotel really safe? It seems like most of the working pets here are poison-type pets."
As Michaela filled out the form, he chuckled:
"Don't worry, this hotel has long been known as the safest in Yuan Kingdom. Poisonous pets are a major feature of this country, and they are present in almost every industry. You don't need to be afraid of their poison; their most toxic parts have been sealed away."
Seal it up? Qiao Sang glanced at the black gloves worn by the pet at the front desk, then looked around at the pets who were busy at work.
Some of the working pets were wearing muzzles, some had tail covers, and one pet was even dressed almost entirely in black armor, with only its eyes and mouth showing.
Seeing someone looking over, the pet grinned, revealing sharp teeth. A little saliva connected the upper and lower teeth. Because it was also wearing a face shield, its facial expression could not be seen, making the smile look somewhat ferocious.
Qiao Sang: "."
"Teeth!"
Ya Bao looked at the pet beast with a "ferocious" smile not far away, showed a wary expression, and barked.
The pet beast, clad entirely in black armor, lost its smile, turned, and silently departed, its back view appearing quite forlorn.
“It was probably just trying to be friendly,” Josan said.
"Teeth?"
Ya Bao paused for a moment, then called out.
Is that friendly?
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter nodded and called out.
It is friendly; it can sense that the other party has no ill intentions.
"As expected, there was no malice involved. I wonder what kind of pet it is dressed like that." Qiao Sang thought to herself as she watched the pet, clad in black armor, gradually disappear into the distance.
Just then, Michael walked over and said:
"Let's go, we've already checked in."
Room 1109.
Close the door.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao took a deep breath, her face showing a "finally alive" expression. "Xiaxia?"
Xia Lala called out affectionately, indicating that she was feeling unwell just now.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao nodded and cried out, indicating that of course she felt uncomfortable; the air smelled awful.
"Xia Xia."
Xia Lala thought for a moment, then exclaimed, indicating that it did smell a bit bad.
Suddenly, it seemed to remember something, and the flower buds on its neck trembled, silently releasing a fresh fragrance.
"Qingqing~"
Qingbao twitched her nose, her eyes lit up, and she snuggled close to Xia Lala without hesitation.
"Ice Saint".
Lu Bao called out to Xiao Xunbao.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter removed the ring, enlarged it, and pulled out the water tank from inside.
Lu Bao opened its mouth and sprayed water, quickly filling the water tank. It jumped in and showed a comfortable expression.
Michaela went to the French windows and admired the view outside.
Remembering his business, Qiao Sang took out his phone, found Shi Pante's contact information, and dialed the number.
The beeping sound lasted a few seconds before the call was connected.
"Hello, is this Shipante? This is Qiao Sang."
Michaela immediately stopped admiring the scenery, came to the side, and pricked up his ears.
Penjami glanced at her own Beastmaster.
"Time Plate?" Time Plate's impatient voice rang out.
"It's like this, it's been over a week and Jiu Bu Gu still hasn't come back." Qiao Sang went straight to the point: "Could you help bring it back?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. After about two seconds, Shi Pante's gloating voice rang out:
"Time plate".
It has actually stayed until now.
Qiao Sang sensed a hint of schadenfreude in Shi Pante's voice and had a bad feeling. She said, "Yes, we think it's time for Jiu Bu Gu to come back."
"Time plate".
Shipante's tone became impatient again, and it barked once to indicate that it understood. A minute later, it would return to its original place.
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"The time plate says it will return to its original place in a minute," Qiao Sang said, putting down her phone.
Michaela nodded slightly and said, "As soon as Jiu Bu Gu appears, I can sense it and summon it back."
Qiao Sang hesitated, unsure whether to mention Shi Pante's somewhat gloating remarks. After thinking for a while, she decided to remain silent.
Anyway, I'll be back soon. Just ask me what's going on.
A minute later, Michaela suddenly sensed something and formed a hand seal.
A magnificent and dazzling golden star array illuminated the living room.
Before long, Jiu Bugu appeared in the star array.
It lay in the star array, its expression weak, looking as if it were seriously injured.
The moment he saw his beast tamer, tears welled up in Jiu Bugu's eyes, and he let out a weak yet excited cry:
"Indeed."
Before he could finish speaking, he closed his eyes and fainted.
“I am not alone!” Michaela’s pupils shrank, and he shouted instinctively.
Penjami wore a serious expression.
"Search?"
Little Treasure Hunter floated over, looking surprised, and barked, indicating that it was injured.
Sure enough, something had happened. Qiao Sang turned around and called out, "Lu Bao."
"Ice Saint".
Lu Bao's head emerged from the water tank, and the gem on its forehead emitted a faint blue light that shone on Jiu Bu Gu's body.
Soon, all of Jiu Bugu's injuries disappeared, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Lu Bao's head went back into the water tank.
"What exactly happened? How did you get so badly injured?" Michaela asked, frowning.
Jiu Bugu was already an Emperor-level pet beast, and even among pet beasts of the same level, it was a representative of combat power. She really couldn't understand what kind of opponent it had encountered to become like that just now.
"Indeed."
Jiu Bugu sighed heavily and began to recount his experiences.
It had barely transmigrated when it encountered two Emperor-level dragon-type pets battling each other.
"Investigate, investigate."
He kept talking, sighing as he spoke.
"Search."
Little Treasure Hunter gave a "You're so pitiful" look.
"Teeth."
Ya Bao listened with a sympathetic expression.
"You mean that as soon as you transmigrated, you were attacked simultaneously by two Emperor-level dragon-type pets, and then you fainted. When you woke up, you were in the Beast Taming Center receiving treatment?" Qiao Sang couldn't help but ask for confirmation.
"Investigate further."
Jiu Bugu nodded heavily.
Penjami cast a sympathetic glance at it.
This is too tragic! Shi Pante has no idea what Jiu Bugu has gone through, otherwise why would he be so gloating? Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and tried to ease the slightly heavy atmosphere:
"I've discovered that there are quite a few Emperor-level dragon-type pets on Tianyuan Star. Last time after you transmigrated, we went to a hot spring, and the staff there said that this place was destroyed by two Emperor-level dragons a hundred years ago."
When Qiao Sang got to this point, she suddenly remembered something and quickly shut up.
Emperor-level dragon-type pets are incredibly rare. For two emperor-level dragon-type pets to battle, especially since it happened in Pear Kingdom a hundred years ago, is highly improbable. It's highly likely that Jiu Bugu was beaten up by those two emperor-level dragon-type pets who had developed the hot springs.
Michaela had also thought of this, and his gaze toward Jiu Bugu became complicated.
"Teeth?"
Fortunately, before Jiu Bugu could think too much, Ya Bao called out, indicating that you hadn't done anything, just lay there, so you hadn't transmigrated for nothing.
"Too blunt," thought Ya Bao Qiao Sang.
"Investigate further."
Jiu Bugu cried out, indicating that he hadn't done nothing.
"Besides lying in the Beast Taming Center, what else have you been doing?" Michaela asked.
"Investigate further."
Jiu Bu Gu barked once, indicating that while it was lying down, it asked a fellow patient to help it contact Xiao Yan Ye Ling. If there were no unforeseen circumstances, the other party should still have Xiao Yan Ye Ling's contact information.
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "A hundred years have passed. Even if it contacted the Smiling Night Spirit, the contact information must have been lost long ago. And even if it still had it, how would you contact it?"
"Investigate further."
Jiu Bu Gu barked, indicating that it had no money to pay for its medical expenses and that the other patient had helped pay for them. It told the other patient that its Beastmaster was Michaela and that she would help pay for the medical expenses.
Michaela: "???"
"Investigate further."
"I'm not alone," Jiu Bugu added.
Based on its understanding of its own Beastmaster, it would definitely think this was a scam call. However, the call record would still exist, and since the patient couldn't contact their own Beastmaster, they would definitely turn to Laughing Night Spirit frantically.
Laughing Night Spirit is unlikely to give money, so fellow patients will definitely keep her contact information.
Qiao Sang: "."
Michaela: "."
