Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 101 The Poor Treasure-Hunting Mouse

Lin Manman's expression changed. That damned pervert! She had even bought hallucinogenic drugs to hide the spatial bracelet, but it was still discovered.

"However, if you take off this protective gear willingly, I can give you a quick death." The man's eyes were filled with fervor as he looked her up and down at the cloak she was wearing.

He recognized the value of the cloak and didn't want to destroy this valuable piece of protective gear while killing Lin Manman.

"Can't I stay alive? Can't I pay to save my life? Name your price. My family is rich. I'm my mother's only daughter. She'll pay to ransom me," Lin Manman pleaded with a forced smile.

The man laughed as if he had heard a joke, his manic and terrifying appearance sending chills down Lin Manman's spine and making her break out in a cold sweat.

He clenched the life-saving Maltesers tightly in his hand again, ready to throw them out when he launched his attack.

"Hahahaha, you're not still thinking of waiting for your little spirit pet to bring people to rescue you, are you?" The man couldn't stop laughing, and even clapped his hands.

"Give up. Do you know how far I've run? Look around. This place has been abandoned for a long time. If I kill you here, by the time they find me, you'll probably be rotting." The man said, pinching his nose and fanning himself with his hand.

"Trying to buy your life with money? How about... you give me your storage space first. If I think it's worth your life, I'll let you go, how about that?"

Lin Manman twitched her lips. She'd be a fool to believe that, wouldn't she? This pervert's mental state was clearly unstable. If she handed over all her belongings, she might die even faster and more tragically.

"How about this? I can give you everything of value I have, including this cloak I'm wearing. But you have to take me into your treasure hunter organization first, then I'll trust you won't kill me."

Lin Manman couldn't help but pray silently in her heart, hoping that the Maltesers in her hand could really save her life and help her get out of trouble.

The man's smile slowly faded, and he looked at Lin Manman with a cold expression. "Since you're unwilling to choose a quick death, then... enjoy my hospitality..."

As he spoke, he slowly drew two daggers from his waist and charged at her with lightning speed.

Lin Manman's breath caught in her throat, and she hurriedly tried to throw away what she had been holding in her hand. But in that instant, she suddenly felt weightless, her vision blurred, and at the same time, she heard a burst of rapid and terrifying gunfire.

She seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and when her vision cleared again, Hongyu's huge snake head anxiously approached her.

It turned out that Hongyu used her skill in time to teleport her out.

Upon suddenly seeing Hongyu, Lin Manman was both incredulous and extremely delighted. "Hongyu? How did you catch up so quickly?"

"Is this the time for you to chat? Back off, quick!!" Yu Tian darted out from the side and pulled her back.

Only then did she realize that there were many more people around her carrying weapons. She even saw four level seven warriors among them, holding various weapons and standing guard, ready to suppress the men inside at any time.

Yu Tian pulled her to a very far place before stopping. On her other side, she was pulling another girl in her twenties, who looked somewhat familiar to Lin Manman.

Seeing that the other person was still wearing the coffee shop uniform, she realized that this was the coffee shop employee across from her apartment complex. But what was she doing here?

Lin Manman carefully put away the life-saving measure Meng Wenbin had left her in her hand, patted her still-shaken chest, and looked at Yu Tian and the other woman, asking, "Sister Yu Tian, ​​how did you find me so quickly?"

"This is all thanks to your Rainbow Jade, and also to Ke Ke. If she hadn't understood what the Rainbow Jade was talking about, I wouldn't have known that you would have encountered the treasure hunters."

Yu Tian sighed. She had just met Lin Manman, but unexpectedly, Lin Manman was kidnapped by treasure hunters so close to her.

If it weren't for Hongyu's timely report and the coincidence of encountering Keke, a coffee shop waitress who could understand animal language, Lin Manman would have been in real danger.

"Hiss."

Hongyu brought its big head closer and told her the whole story in detail.

It turned out that Hongyu quickly found Yutian, but Yutian couldn't understand what Hongyu meant. In her anxiety, Hongyu rolled her up and was about to take her to rescue Lin Manman.

Just then, Ke Ke, a shop assistant who happened to be in the store, understood what Hong Yu meant and quickly stepped forward to help explain.

Upon hearing that the treasure hunters had appeared, Yu Tian hurriedly reported the situation while running towards Lin Manman's house.

When they arrived, Lin Manman had already been kidnapped, leaving only her luggage behind.

Hongyu sensed that she was being moved rapidly, and in a moment of panic, she snatched Yu Tian's bracelet and chased after Lin Manman.

Through her interactions with Lin Manman, Hongyu learned that the bracelet had a location tracking function, so she snatched it, intending to share her tracking location with Yu Tian and the others in real time.

Yu Tian quickly understood Hong Yu's idea and hurriedly reported the news.

Based on the real-time location shared by Hongyu, the police determined the direction the treasure hunters were fleeing. The police officers who were working together on the case devised a plan to encircle them and gradually close in on the target.

The level seven warrior was too fast; Hongyu almost lost track of him. Fortunately, in addition to sensing Lin Manman through the soul contract, it also had the ability to track her.

In addition, Lin Manman's efforts along the way were not in vain. Hongyu had eaten a lot of meal replacement dumplings and was very sensitive to their scent. Relying on her tracking skills and the scent of the dumplings along the way, Hongyu was able to keep up with them.

This time, the tracking skills I honed by playing hide-and-seek with my friends and the meal replacement dumplings came in very handy.

Lin Manman finally noticed that Hongyu not only looked exhausted, but many of the scales on its abdomen were also broken. She felt sorry for it and summoned Xiaoqi to treat it.

"Sister Yu Tian, ​​Sister Ke Ke, thank you so much. If you had come any later, I really would have been dead." Lin Manman bowed deeply to Yu Tian and Ke Ke.

Although Meng Wenbin had given her a way to save her life, he also said she only had one chance and should use it carefully. Yu Tian and the others arrived in time, which indeed saved her life.

"No need to thank me, it's my duty. Besides, catching the treasure hunter this time is a great achievement for me." Yu Tian helped her up.

"No need to thank me, I just helped translate the meaning of the spirit pet, it was nothing." Ke Ke smiled and waved her hand.

"Sister Ke Ke, you can actually understand animal language?" With the crisis over, Lin Manman relaxed. Remembering that Yu Tian and Hong Yu both said that Ke Ke could understand Hong Yu's meaning, she suddenly became a little curious.

Ke Ke nodded and smiled a little shyly, "Actually, it's not that I can understand animal language. It's that when I was fifteen, I awakened my profession as a Beast Tamer and at the same time, I awakened the talent of understanding animal language."

Lin Manman stared in disbelief, her mouth agape. With such talent, how did she end up working as a waitress in a coffee shop?

Ke Ke seemed to see through her thoughts, and her smile was tinged with bitterness. "My family is not well-off. After finishing high school, I dropped out because I didn't have a contracted spirit pet or the resources to cultivate."

Upon hearing this, both Yu Tian and Lin Manman showed expressions of regret. After thinking for a moment, Lin Manman extended an invitation to her.

"Sister Keke, an uncle I know is planning to open a spirit beast shop. You can come and choose any spirit beast you like as a way of repaying you for saving your life today. Of course, I would be even more happy if you would like to work here."

Ke Ke waved her hands repeatedly, "How can that be? It was just a small favor, there's no need to repay me with a spirit beast."

"It's settled then. If you're satisfied, then come help out at my spirit beast shop. Of course, the salary will be paid at the normal rate." Lin Manman selectively ignored her refusal.

Before Ke Ke could speak, Yu Tian suddenly interrupted them. "It seems to be over. Let's go back and take a look."

Although Yu Tian's bracelet was snatched by Hong Yu, she still had a device in her ear that could not only make calls but also locate her location; it was specially equipped for this mission.

Lin Manman looked at Hongyu, who had recovered under Xiaoqi's treatment, stroked its chin, and gently pressed her forehead against its forehead.

"Hongyu, thank you... This time... you've really worked hard. You should go back and get some rest."

"Hiss."

Hongyu playfully rubbed her cheek, then obediently returned to the spirit pet space to rest.

Lin Manman thought of the treasure-hunting rat. Although it had put her in danger, it seemed that it was forced into it.

So she left Xiaoqi behind, hoping to save that poor treasure-hunting mouse.

When she caught up with Yu Tian with Xiao Qi, the arrogant treasure hunter had already been handcuffed with handcuffs that could suppress the abilities of professionals, and was being escorted by two imposing policemen on either side.

His face had also changed; he was no longer an ordinary young man, but had a fierce and sinister appearance, with his slanted eyes like those of a cold snake.

Although he was arrested, he didn't seem afraid at all. His expression remained neurotic, and his eyes seemed to carry a hint of mockery.

When he saw Lin Manman walking over, he even made a throat-slitting gesture at her, "Little girl, don't be too happy yet, you might die at my hands soon."

"Shut up!" The two police officers holding him, seeing that he was still so arrogant after being arrested, kicked him from behind, making him stagger.

Lin Manman ignored his harsh words and turned to ask Yu Tian, ​​"Sister Yu Tian, ​​this person is carrying a treasure-hunting rat, and it seems to be seriously injured. I'd like Xiao Qi to treat it."

Yu Tian's eyes lit up when she saw the incredibly cute Xiao Qi in her hand. "Let me ask for you."

After saying that, she went to talk to her familiar colleagues. A little while later, she brought over the small cage containing the treasure-hunting mouse. When she came over, her expression was somewhat reluctant.

"What kind of pervert is this? Not only is he a heinous murderer and thief, but he also dared to be so cruel to such a small spirit beast! He deserves to die!"

She grumbled as she handed the treasure-hunting mouse to Lin Manman.

Lin Manman finally got a clear look at the treasure-hunting rat. This silver-gray rat was blind in one eye, its tail was broken in half, and its silver-gray fur was covered with brown spots, which were clearly dried bloodstains from its injuries.

Seeing its pitiful state, Lin Manman couldn't bear it and placed Xiao Qi in front of the treasure-hunting mouse, letting it treat the mouse.

"Eek." Little Seven nodded obediently, fluttered its little wings, flew over, and threw out a Life Bloom.

Although Xiao Qi has practiced her healing skill, Spirit Fruit, to the point where she can release five fruits at once, this skill requires the person being healed to be awake and actively eat the fruit in order to achieve the healing effect.

The Life Bloom talent not only has a better healing effect than the Spirit Fruit, but it also does not require the recipient to be conscious. However, Life Bloom can only heal one target at a time.
