Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 100 Kidnapped by a Pervert

To Lin Manman's surprise, the news she had just heard was that the person had actually been watching her since she was still at the bus stop.

Lin Manman's building is the last one in the community, and because the buildings in front of it have poor lighting, this building is the only one with only one unit.

So it was destined that she would have to pass through a less crowded alley on her way home, and the moment she stepped into that alley, she was attacked...

Fortunately, she was equipped with level 5 protective gear, but the opponent's level was probably higher than level 5. Her bracelet protective gear was completely shattered after blocking one attack.

But with that brief respite, she quickly took out the other level-nine protective gear Fu Mingyuan had given her, the cloak, and put it on.

Clearly, the opponent hadn't expected her to have protective gear, and was momentarily stunned when their attack failed.

Then, surprisingly, he calmly and with great interest began to examine Lin Manman.

I don't know if the other person was disguised, but from their appearance, they looked like an ordinary young man in their early twenties. They were wearing a shirt and jeans that you could see anywhere else, and a denim baseball cap on their head.

She didn't even try to cover her face; her features and demeanor were so striking that she would easily blend into a crowd and be hard to spot.

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?" Lin Manman asked, feigning panic. Being attacked at this time and place, she could only think of the treasure hunter Yu Tian had mentioned.

She just didn't understand why the other party would target her.

"Didn't you already find out from that little cop?" The man smirked arrogantly.

Lin Manman was startled; it really was him. Moreover, he wasn't in such a hurry to escape as Yu Tian had said; he even seemed to be able to distinguish which ones were police officers.

"Those cops are not only annoying, they're also good at making things worse. If you hadn't run into her, you might have lived another half a day. What a pity..."

The man spread his hands, giving Lin Manman a regretful look. The murderous intent in his words and the mockery in his eyes sent chills down Lin Manman's spine.

While using the system to spy on the other party's strength, she pretended to be trembling with fear.

"What are you talking about? I just ran into an acquaintance and chatted with her for a bit. She didn't say anything to me, she just told me to be careful lately."

The system displayed that the opponent was actually a level seven Shadow Warrior, and Lin Manman's heart sank.

The Dark attribute is known for its unpredictable and swift nature, and Shadow Warriors are even hailed as assassins among warriors.

Fortunately, her protective gear could withstand three level-nine attacks, so she was not in immediate danger.

The problem is how to make a big commotion and attract the attention of the surrounding police.

"Hmph, no need to stall for time. Even if those petty cops came, they wouldn't be able to catch me. I'll take care of you, and I'll still have plenty of time to escape." The man chuckled, seemingly very confident.

"I don't understand. I'm just a level two Beast Tamer. Why do you want to kill me?" Lin Manman put on a pitiful expression as if she was about to cry, while secretly summoning Rainbow Jade.

Since Rainbow Jade evolved to level three, its size has exceeded that of Lin Manman. When necessary, Rainbow Jade can use its skills to teleport her to her location.

However, Hongyu can only teleport about 60 meters at most, so the probability of Hongyu teleporting her away to escape is probably not very high.

"Do you know why treasure hunters are called treasure hunters?" Lin Manman seemed to have asked the question that the other party cared about. The man's eyes gleamed, with a hint of madness in his smugness.

The man teased Lin Manman, but like a cat toying with its dying prey, he didn't care what her answer was.

So he didn't give Lin Manman a chance to speak, and took out a small cage from his pocket, inside which huddled a small silver-gray mouse.

"Because of this! Because of it, we treasure hunters will never return empty-handed!" The man held the cage high and circled it twice in front of Lin Manman.

Lin Manman frowned slightly; this guy seemed a bit off. As for the rat he was holding, Lin Manman checked it with the system and discovered it was actually a spirit beast.

"You're a beast tamer, so you should know about the treasure-hunting rat, right?" The man looked at Lin Manman excitedly, like a child eager to show off his toy.

Lin Manman: ……

Actually, Lin Manman didn't know about this kind of spirit beast before today, but she found out after checking with the system just now...

"This kind of treasure-hunting rat has a natural talent for finding treasures. Whether it is a naturally formed treasure or a treasure forged later, it cannot escape its talent."

"Our leader is a genius! He bred a whole clan of treasure-hunting rats from a single one and gave one to each of us. Although we're not beast tamers, as long as we stimulate them with special methods, they'll obediently find good things for us."

As the man spoke, he took out a long needle and poked it into the treasure-hunting rat. The rat seemed to be greatly shocked, let out a miserable cry, and then trembled as it stretched out its claws towards Lin Manman.

Lin Manman frowned involuntarily, it seemed that the other party was certain that she had a treasure.

This is troublesome. Yu Tian said that these treasure hunters are ruthless and vicious people who will stop at nothing to get the treasure. Since they are so sure that she has the treasure, it will probably be difficult for them to keep her alive.

While the other party was rambling on and showing off his mouse, she used the soul contract to direct Hongyu to find Yutian.

As she spent more time with her spirit pets, not only did their understanding and rapport improve, but the commands she issued through the soul contract were also more clearly perceived by the spirit pets.

Unable to resist the orders given by Lin Manman through the contract, Hongyu could only rely on invisibility to sneak away and inform Yu Tian.

"Has no one ever told you not to fidget when others are talking?"

Just as Hong Yu was hiding and running away, the man stopped showing off his treasure-hunting rat and stared coldly at Lin Manman.

Although he couldn't see the Rainbow Jade, his level was much higher than Lin Manman's, and his perception of everything around him far surpassed that of her and her spirit pet.

Lin Manman was startled, and a bad premonition suddenly flashed through her mind. She acted faster than she thought and subconsciously rushed to Hong Yu's side.

The next second, a black lightning bolt struck the cloak, which flickered for a moment, successfully blocking the attack.

"Run faster!!" With this protective gear, she wouldn't be in any danger for a while, but if Hongyu didn't notify the police in time, she would be in real danger.

Upon hearing her command, Hongyu immediately used her talent to escape at top speed.

"I underestimated you. Not only do you have protective gear that's over level seven, but your spirit pet is also a space-type." The man's face darkened as he watched Hongyu escape his attack range.

"But what can I do? None of the police around here are a match for me. I was originally planning to give you a quick death, take your treasure, and leave. But now it seems that it would be a waste of your desperate struggle not to keep you around and have some fun with you."

The man chuckled somewhat nervously. "Your protective gear is indeed very strong; I can't break it in a short time. But do you think you're safe just like that?"

While keeping a wary eye on the man, Lin Manman clenched the large Maltesers Meng Wenbin had left her in her palm, ready to throw them away at any moment.

But the other party didn't give her that chance. She only saw the man give her a sinister smile before she was enveloped in darkness.

Then she felt as if she had lost gravity and was floating in mid-air. Because of the darkness, she didn't know what was happening outside and could only judge by the slight swaying of her body that she was being carried by a man at a rapid pace.

Realizing this, Lin Manman became somewhat anxious. If she had been moved to a different location, it would make it more difficult for the police to find her, which would be even more dangerous.

She first turned on her bracelet, intending to share her location with Yu Tian. However, it seemed this person was wearing some kind of signal jamming device; her bracelet showed no signal.

Unable to use the bracelet to call for help, she tried to summon her spirit pet, but failed. This layer of darkness that isolates her should also limit her skills.

Thinking about it, she reached out and touched the surrounding darkness, but couldn't feel anything solid. She guessed that it was a cage formed by dark energy.

Just as she was feeling anxious, she suddenly remembered the meal replacement pills that her second senior brother had given her. These pills were made from the pure energy left over after refining and processing. If she ground the pills fine enough, she might be able to pass through the barrier formed by this energy.

Thinking about it, she began to try. With no tools, she used the sole of the Wind Speed ​​Shoes that she had just exchanged in her spatial bracelet to grind it.

With great effort, she crushed a meal replacement pill and sprinkled the fine powder on the ground.

Because it was also pitch black beneath her feet, she couldn't tell whether the powder could penetrate through, but she didn't want to give up on this only way to save herself, so she continued to grind the pills and sprinkle them.

When she sensed that the other party had stopped moving, Lin Manman looked at her bracelet. This thing had been moving for almost two hours straight, and she couldn't help but frown.

Given the physical capabilities of a level seven warrior, after nearly two hours of travel, Hongyu should no longer be able to sense her location through the soul contract.

"You didn't shout or yell, you're very calm." The man stopped in an abandoned factory, and after breaking free from the darkness, he praised her with a smile.

After being released from her restraints, Lin Manman immediately distanced herself from the other person. Hearing his words, she gave a wry smile, "Would it have made a difference if I shouted?"

The man shrugged again, a smug smile on his face. "It's no use. My skill can absorb your voice, so no one will hear you even if you shout."

Lin Manman sighed softly, "Sir, the only valuable things I have are the broken bracelet and this cloak. If you're willing to let me go, I'll offer you this cloak with both hands, okay?"

The man's smile widened, and a strange glint appeared in his eyes as he looked at her. "You lied to me! You dare lie to me! Even though you used your bag to cover yourself when you took the cloak, I still saw it!"
