Taming beasts is not as good as taming yourself

The more one learns about Wu Xiao's situation, the more one can feel the shock brought by Wu Xiao's attack just now. Naturally, the middle-aged beast tamer who does not know much about Wu Xiao's situation still believes that the combat power that Wu Xiao just displayed was based on a rare possessing type pet beast.

Therefore, although he was shocked, what shocked him was the power of that non-existent possessing pet.

Especially his pet beast, which told him that it sensed an aura similar to that of a god's agent from the boy, which meant that the possessing pet beast had received a blessing from a great being.

These pets, blessed by the Great One, are far more valuable than ordinary adaptable beings, comparable to divine agents who have completed their descent rituals.

If he could have such a blessed pet, he could also attain the same noble status as those agents of the gods.

Now this golden opportunity has presented itself. If he can kill that boy and seize his pet beast, he can embark on a bright future.

As for killing the Beastmaster and the pet suffering a backlash, as long as it doesn't die, there are still many ways to recover. For a pet that has been blessed by a great being, it's worth spending any amount of money to help it recover.

Following the middle-aged beast tamer's thought, the stunned boa constrictor swayed and coiled up again. Although Wu Xiao's punch had broken through the boa constrictor's unique defensive feature, Mud Body, the power of the attack was also largely neutralized by the Mud Body. Therefore, the boa constrictor itself did not suffer much damage.

He was so shocked by the power of Wu Xiao's punch that he lost his mind and fell down. But thanks to his thick skin, the earth python recovered quickly.

"This is troublesome!"

As the earth pythons regrouped, Zhang Li's brows furrowed into a deep frown. He glanced at the illustrated guide in his hand; there were still three minutes before the police reinforcements arrived.

But can Wu Xiao hold out for another three minutes? His attack just now clearly used some special method that came at a price. How long can he last when he's not in good condition?

Compared to Zhang Li's unease, Wu Xiao was quite relaxed at the moment. He had expected that he would be unable to defeat the earth python.

A level 29 elite pet is indeed beyond his current ability to defeat, but Wu Xiao's main goal is not to defeat it, but to attract attention.

Wu Xiao succeeded. During the battle just now, both Zhang Li and the middle-aged beast tamer had their full attention on him.

"Mimi~"

Suddenly, a series of urgent cries rang out, filled with the excitement of discovering a great secret. With the cries, a pink-furred fox carrying an illustrated guide emerged from the cave and then quickly ran towards Wu Xiao.

"Meow!"

Soon, the pink-furred fox ran up to Wu Xiao, handed him the picture book it was carrying, and then, at Wu Xiao's signal, hopped away. The current situation wasn't suitable for carrying Mimi, who had no fighting ability, on his person; letting it stay far away was the best option.

He picked up the picture book that Mimi handed him. At that moment, the picture book was on video communication, and on the other end of the communication was Zhou Shanhai, the captain of the Public Security Bureau.

At this moment, Zhou Shanhai's expression was solemn, and howling winds kept emanating from the illustration. Combined with the blurry scene in the video, it was clear that Zhou Shanhai was rushing towards this place.

"Leave the rest to me."

Upon seeing Wu Xiao appear, Zhou Shanhai nodded and then ended the communication. At the same moment Zhou Shanhai hung up, a figure in cyan appeared on the horizon.

"not good!"

When the middle-aged beast tamer saw Mimi emerge from the cave, he sensed something was wrong, but before he could react, the blue figure that appeared in the sky interrupted all his subsequent actions.

The middle-aged beast tamer knew very well what that cyan figure represented: it was the Gale Wolf, the pet beast of Zhou Shanhai, the captain of the Public Security Bureau. Its appearance signified the presence of the captain.

The captains of the Public Security Bureau are all renowned experts, with the lowest level being high-level beast tamers. The middle-aged beast tamer is considered top-tier among mid-level beast tamers, and suppressing Zhang Li, who is also a mid-level beast tamer, is no problem. However, he is still somewhat outmatched when facing a high-level beast tamer.

"You ruined my plans!"

The middle-aged beast tamer stared at Wu Xiao and Mimi, who was hiding in a corner in the distance, with eyes blazing with fury. If the situation in the cave had not been exposed, it would have been impossible to attract a captain-level expert.

The Public Security Bureau has to deal with many situations, and under normal circumstances, it will not escalate the handling of cases. The level of the case is determined by the level of the security officer assigned to it.

Unless the case changes and the level is upgraded, even if there are obstacles in the process of handling the case, at most the corresponding level of security guards will be called for support, and a higher level of security guards will not be involved.

When a higher-ranking security officer is called to handle a lower-level task, he can resolve the task quickly. However, if a more difficult problem arises at this time and the higher-ranking officer is unable to intervene in time, the consequences can be very serious.

These are all lessons learned, which is why the Public Security Bureau formulated these rules.

The middle-aged beast tamer dared to take action precisely because he knew these rules. He knew that even if the matter of the fungal powder was discovered, at most it would be an elite-level security officer like Zhang Li who would have to deal with it, and it would definitely not alarm a powerful figure at the captain level.

Of course, all of this is on the premise that his identity as a member of the Advent Society remains undiscovered, because the Advent Society is the only factor that the police department can escalate its investigation to a higher level.

Any case involving the Advent Society will be escalated and severely punished by the Public Security Bureau without hesitation. The Public Security Bureau had already learned a great lesson from the tragic Advent Society incident in Cuixia Town years ago.

Therefore, when Mimi, carrying Wu Xiao's police atlas, crawled into the cave and sent the information to Zhou Shanhai, the nature of the incident completely changed. What was originally an investigation into energizing powder for new recruits to practice on turned into a capture operation against members of the Advent Society personally led by Captain Zhou Shanhai.

"Huff~ Huff~"

As the blue figure rapidly approached from afar, a gentle breeze began to blow around them, and the wind was growing stronger at a visible rate.

The increasingly strong winds dispersed the scattered fungal powder, fully revealing the condition of the area.

"Very well, I'll remember this grudge."

The middle-aged beast tamer practically spat out those words through gritted teeth. His meticulously planned scheme had been ruined, and he was naturally seething with hatred for the person who had orchestrated it all.

But the middle-aged beast tamer also knew that there was no time for him to vent his hatred. He had to retreat before Zhou Shanhai arrived, otherwise he would not be able to leave.

As for Wu Xiao, the man and beast who ruined his plans, he would naturally not let him go. He would make the other party experience all the cruelest tortures in the world, only in this way could he vent his hatred.

After uttering a harsh remark, the middle-aged beast tamer beckoned and put the earth python into his pet space. Since he was going to run away, he naturally couldn't take his pet with him, unless the pet was a speed-type, but the earth python was clearly not. As for the Dream Mushroom in the distance, it was currently entangled by Zhang Li's hunting dogs and couldn't break free.

The middle-aged beast tamer had no choice but to abandon the Dream Mushroom. This pet was specially bred for this project, and a master-servant contract was signed. The death of the pet would not have a significant impact on him; he would only lose some breeding resources.

After putting away his pet, the middle-aged beast tamer prepared to take one last look at Wu Xiao, determined to remember the face of the man who had ruined his life's work.

However, the middle-aged beast tamer's expression froze as he glanced over, because Wu Xiao had already appeared in front of him.
