Chapter 155: Chapter 150 It Has a Beast Tamer

“Although the Lamp Wick might sustain someone for a while, as soon as the energy contained within it is depleted or the Lamp Wick is removed, the person will instantly die.”

“However, the Lamp Wick cannot be removed carelessly. Once it is taken out, it basically severs the Ghost-absorbing Lantern’s evolutionary path. Removing the Lamp Wick inflicts permanent damage to the foundations of the Ghost-absorbing Lantern.”

Qiao Sang paused, “Didn’t you say earlier that without its Lamp Wick, a Ghost-absorbing Lantern would be like a person without a heart and would die immediately? And you mentioned that the human body wouldn’t be able to handle it.”

Liu Yao: “…”

“It will die, and the human body won’t be able to handle it, it’s just a matter of sooner or later,” Liu Yao forcefully asserted.

Qiao Sang didn’t suspect anything and continued to inquire, “Then how long can the Lamp Wick stay inside the human body at most?”

...

Seeing that Qiao Sang wasn’t dwelling on the issue, Liu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became more relaxed, “It should be about three days.”

Three days…

The timing was off.

Considering the time that the Ghost-absorbing Lantern had been missing, it had already been over half a month…

“What if the Lamp Wick stayed inside the human body for about half a month?” Qiao Sang pondered and asked.

Liu Yao was silent for a moment before answering, “That should be impossible. The energy of the Lamp Wick will be exhausted after three days without replenishment, and once it’s no longer of use in the body, the person will die on the spot.”

“Moreover, without the Lamp Wick, the Ghost-absorbing Lantern wouldn’t be able to sustain itself for long after its energy runs out.”

Having a knowledgeable person nearby really was beneficial; this phone call directly led Qiao Sang to speculate about the whereabouts of the Ghost-absorbing Lantern.

After hanging up, Qiao Sang ordered takeout on the spot.

Since the Lamp Wick would run out of energy and couldn’t remain in the human body for long, the Ghost-absorbing Lantern would definitely return every couple of days to replenish the Lamp Wick’s energy in order to ensure the old lady’s safety.

A Ghost-absorbing Lantern without its Lamp Wick, both trying to accumulate energy to replenish the Lamp Wick and maintain its own actions, would certainly be in a place where Spectral-type Pet Beasts liked to gather.

A Ghost-absorbing Lantern preferred the vital essence, which, without exception, meant young people, places with lots of hormones.

Bars, schools, clubs, or ongoing competition venues would likely be its haunts.

Hangkang City is too big for a search to be convenient. If the Ghost-absorbing Lantern was returning to recharge the Lamp Wick every few days without the old lady knowing, it definitely would come late at night when it was quiet and everyone was asleep.

If things were as she suspected, she could just wait for it to come to her.

If not, since the maximum period for the Lamp Wick to last was three days, and the school team gathering was five days away, there was a two-day difference to come up with another plan.

With this thought, Qiao Sang looked up and asked with a smile, “Yaobao, do you want to rest?”

“Yaobao.”

Yaobao honestly shook its head.

Rest?

No! It had boundless energy!

“No, you want to rest,” Qiao Sang said to Yaobao with a smile.

“Yaobao…”

Yaobao looked back at her, dumbfounded. It didn’t want to…

One minute later.

Xiying Residential Area.

In the shaded area beside the gate of Building 5.

A majestic Pet Beast with a red and white coat lay on the ground, with a slender girl lying on its back.

Qiao Sang was lying on Yaobao, waiting for the takeout with her phone in hand.

Yaobao didn’t want to rest, but she did.

…

9 PM.

Hangkang City.

By the Linhu Reservoir, under the sky bridge.

Many people came from all around heading this way and then never came out again.

If one looked closely, they would discover a hidden door at the base of the sky bridge.

The door automatically opened, inside was a buzz of voices, bustling with excitement, a completely different world from outside.

This was an underground Beast Taming black-market competition venue.

The entire place was filled with the smell of sweat, tobacco, and the scent of hormones.

“Poisonous Scorpx!”

“Ghost-absorbing Lantern!”

“Ghost-absorbing Lantern!”

The audience around the arena shouted the names of the two Pet Beasts, with those cheering for Ghost-absorbing Lantern making up the vast majority.

Only to see in the competition field.

The fully purple Poisonous Scorpx lay motionless on the ground.

The referee approached to start the countdown.

“1.”

“2…”

Just at that moment, the head of the immobile Poisonous Scorpx flicked its tail, shooting several poison needles out of thin air, their silvery tips gleaming with a cold light.

The fans supporting Ghost-absorbing Lantern’s face changed, not expecting a stealth attack at this point in the game!

The speed of these poison needles was incredibly fast, and Ghost-absorbing Lantern couldn’t defend itself in time, with several needles penetrating its body.

“Ghost-absorbing Lantern! Take it down for me!” a man with a scarred face yelled from the command post.

In front of Ghost-absorbing Lantern everything was a blur, and the echoing voices around it seemed to drift over from a far-off place.

It gasped for air, trying to activate Lamp Wick, only to suddenly realize it had no Lamp Wick left inside its body.

“Ghost-absorbing Lantern, what are you dawdling for, finish it off!” the man with the scar shouted.

“Ghost-absorbing…”

Ghost-absorbing Lantern, enduring the intense pain, slowly raised its claws and gathered a Shadow Ball, hurling it toward the blurry figure on the ground.

…

“What got into you at the end there, reacting so slowly?” the man with the scar complained in the backstage area after the match.

Ghost-absorbing Lantern looked at him expressionlessly.

The man felt a chill in his heart and quickly changed his tune, “Well, it’s good you won in the end, or we would have been busy for nothing.”

Ghost-absorbing Lantern didn’t say a word.

“Here, this is your reward.” The man had gotten used to Ghost-absorbing Lantern’s silent manner, and he tossed a box toward it without a second thought.

The box fell to the ground in front of Ghost-absorbing Lantern.

The man jumped with a start, “Hey, I didn’t do it on purpose, you were the one who didn’t catch it!”

Ghost-absorbing Lantern’s ears buzzed; it couldn’t hear what the man was saying, only knowing that it couldn’t fall down now.

“We’ve been working together for so long, why haven’t you changed at all, take a look, if it wasn’t for me, how would you even enter these competitions.” The man grumbled as he picked up the box from the ground and handed it to Ghost-absorbing Lantern.

Everything in front of Ghost-absorbing Lantern was a blur, but it focused hard and finally saw clearly what was in front of it for a moment.

It breathed a sigh of relief, this fight hadn’t been for nothing.

Ghost-absorbing Lantern tried to extend its claw to take it, but as soon as it moved, it found it had no strength.

“Ghost-absorbing.”

Ghost-absorbing Lantern called out with a cold expression.

The man was startled for a moment, then turned to ask the long-tailed snake beside him, “What did it say?”

“Wickwick.”

The long-tailed snake translated.

After hearing the long-tailed snake’s words, the man’s mouth twitched, he opened the box and shoved the contents into Ghost-absorbing Lantern’s mouth.

“You’re such a high-maintenance creature,” the man complained as he continued to stuff.

After swallowing the contents, Ghost-absorbing Lantern finally felt a bit stronger and its senses began to return somewhat. It utilized what little energy it had to wrap around the object inside its body, unwilling to let it integrate with itself.

“Are you coming back tomorrow?” the man asked.

Ghost-absorbing Lantern nodded.

Seeing that Ghost-absorbing Lantern was interacting with him, the man cracked a smile, “We’ve known each other for so long, yet you never tell me where you’re from. You know, wild Pet Beasts are in danger in our area, if you hadn’t met me, you would have been captured long ago.”

“I think we get along well, why don’t you just form a contract with me once I get the next page of the Beast Taming Codex?”

Ghost-absorbing Lantern ignored him and floated toward the door.

It was not a wild Pet Beast, for it had a Beast Tamer.
