Chapter 214 -204: Armored Foot Monster
“Brother, please don’t make this hard for us. If you keep this up, we’re going to call the police,” one of the security guards, sporting a bird’s-nest hairstyle, said with some apprehension.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
The moment he had arrived, he had seen the pet beast sleeping on the ground. He couldn’t recognize its species, but judging by its size alone, people would believe it was a high-level pet beast.
The bird’s-nest-haired security guard wondered for an instant if he was still dreaming.
Were jobs really so hard to come by these days, that a beast tamer with a high-level pet beast would come to work as a security guard…
Li Songhai’s expression grew uglier by the moment.
He had intended to keep a low profile and not to disturb Shuilu Yana, who was hiding in the residential complex, which was why he had applied to be a security guard. But not only had he failed to find Shuilu Yana, this mess had also arisen. It seemed he could no longer continue working as a security guard.
With all the commotion, it was only a matter of time before Shuilu Yana realized he was there. Finding the slime worms was more important now.
With that thought, Li Songhai decided not to hold back any longer.
“This is too much! I’ve already said I just came to find my pet beast, and since you won’t let me in, I’ll have to force my way through!” Li Songhai growled through gritted teeth: “Steel Footed Behemoth, wake up!”
Seeing this, the two security guards were startled and quickly retreated to put some distance between themselves and the beast.
The one with the bird’s-nest hair formed hand seals to summon his own pet beast.
…
Steel Footed Behemoth…
Qiao Sang, who was watching the surveillance from inside a house, felt a jolt in his heart and took out his phone to type with one hand, bowing his head and entering the species name.
He quickly found information about it on the internet.
[Steel Footed Behemoth, with an odd appearance, is a high-level pet beast with dual Rock-type and Water-type attributes, commonly residing by the seashore]
A high-level pet beast… Qiao Sang had suspected as much at the sight of the Green Star Formation and was not surprised.
He looked up again at the monitors.
The pet beast summoned by the security guard outside, a Sand Gopher, was definitely no match.
If the situation escalated and alerted the police, who then followed the clues back to the beast tamer from the Ancient Mist Region working as a security guard,
then there would be no chance of contracting Shuilu Yana.
With this in mind, Qiao Sang set Shuilu Yana on the ground and said, “You stay inside the house, don’t come out.”
“Lulu.”
Shuilu Yana looked at the human in front of her, seemingly about to leave, and showed a worried expression.
Qiao Sang’s mouth quirked into a smile, guessing, “You’re not worried about me, are you?”
“Lulu…”
Shuilu Yana’s body stiffened, turning its head away.
Seeing its awkward demeanor, Qiao Sang said nothing more and turned to open the door.
However, just as she reached for the doorknob, she saw Xiao Xunbao, carrying the slime worm, floating naturally alongside her towards the door, with an expression akin to a warrior heading off to battle.
Qiao Sang was startled and quickly let go of the doorknob, saying, “You don’t have to follow me, I’m just going to reason with them, not to fight.”
“Xun Xun?”
Xiao Xunbao cocked its head, looking confused.
Reason with them? Would that work?
Qiao Sang assured, “Don’t worry, that person just wants to get his pet beast back. As long as the slime worm responds to his call, the issue will be resolved.”
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao looked down at the slime worm in its claws, which was closing its eyes.
Was this creature really that important?
Following its gaze, Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and said, “Wait for me to go outside, then don’t use Shadow Control on the slime worm anymore.”
“Xun Xun.”
Xiao Xunbao nodded.
Qiao Sang felt relieved and pushed the door open.
…
The moment she stepped outside, Shuilu Yana gestured towards the monitor to Xiao Xunbao.
“Lulu… Lulu…”
It wanted to see what was happening outside and asked to be picked up.
Xiao Xunbao, after having spent some time with Shuilu Yana and developing a friendship, recalled what its beast tamer had said about not needing to control the slime worm anymore. With a flick of its claw, it flung the slime worm behind and floated towards Shuilu Yana.
“Xun Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao spread its short arms, trying to lift Shuilu Yana.
It lifted, but couldn’t move it.
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao put its back into it and heaved, but Shuilu Yana still didn’t budge.
“Xun Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao refused to give up, straining as if its life depended on it, its entire expression showing the effort.
But Shuilu Yana lifted only 0.01 centimeters off the ground before dropping back down.
“Lulu.”
Shuilu Yana couldn’t help but show a look of disdain.
That human just now lifted me up so easily, why are you having such a hard time?
“Xun Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao was not happy, thinking it was because you’re too heavy.
“Lulu!”
Shuilu Yana’s face showed she was stricken, then she began to argue her point.
“Xun Xun,” Xiao Xunbao stretched out its paw, making a stop gesture.
Don’t panic, it had another way.
“Lulu…” Shuilu Yana called out, expressing doubt.
“Xun.”
Xiao Xunbao stretched out its short toes, and the next second, blue light emanated from them.
Under the control of telekinesis, Shuilu Yana effortlessly floated up in front of the surveillance.
…
Qiao Sang walked outside, expecting to see the scene of the steel armored beast brutally attacking the sand burrowing mouse, but instead he saw the Beast Tamer from the Ancient Mist Region with red-rimmed eyes, looking extremely wronged in front of two security guards.
“I really lost my Pet Beast and can’t summon it back, why won’t you believe me!” Li Songhai felt he was going insane.
Damn it, just when he had steeled himself, ready to make a commotion without caring for the consequences, who would have thought the steel armored beast wouldn’t wake up at such a critical moment!
Ah!
O heavens! O earth!
Why do this to him!
Just as Li Songhai was roaring inside, the door of apartment 1705 for which he had been eagerly waiting, opened.
He turned reflexively to look, only to see the girl who had steadfastly refused to open the door for him.
The girl revealed a gentle smile, “It might all be a misunderstanding. I saw a stranger knocking on my door in the middle of the night, and I thought I might have run into some bad person, so I contacted you guys. Later, this gentleman said he was the security here, so it must be just that the Pet Beast accidentally got lost.”
Li Songhai stood still, his expression frozen.
So all this was just a misunderstanding on his part?
Qiao Sang glanced at the steel armored beast that was sleeping at the doorway and said, “Mister, could you first take back this Pet Beast?”
Listening to her soft and gentle voice, Li Songhai suddenly felt a surge of guilt.
Yes, she’s still a kid. Being approached by a stranger at night would certainly scare her!
Not to mention contacting the property management, it’s normal to call the police.
Yet he had no patience at all and had said such ugly words to her. If he could just calm down and communicate, none of this mess would’ve happened.
“Okay!”
Feeling guilty, Li Songhai quickly nodded and with a wave of his hand, retrieved the steel armored beast into the Beast Taming Codex.
Then, the security guard with the messy hair spoke up, “No matter what, it’s wrong for him to have knocked on your door at this hour. Rest assured, we will handle this properly.”
As he spoke, he signaled to the sand burrowing mouse beside him to be ready to attack at any moment.
“Sha Sha…”
The sand burrowing mouse was still struggling to keep its eyes open.
Li Songhai’s complexion changed, and he was about to summon another Pet Beast.
“I could tell this uncle wasn’t a bad person just by his face,” Qiao Sang chimed in at that moment: “Uncle, why don’t you try to summon that lost Pet Beast of yours now to see if it works? I’ve seen in TV dramas that sometimes Beast Tamers can’t always summon their Pet Beasts reliably.”
TV dramas are all make-believe… Seeing the trust the girl had in him, Li Songhai felt embarrassed to tell her straight out.
He gestured with his hand and said, “I’ve tried many times already, all… holy shit!”
