Chapter 2176: Chapter 279: Curse Crystal (Double Length) _3
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Spirit immediately showed an excited expression and called out.
...
6:20 PM.
High in the sky.
A dazzling figure was running in the sky.
Little Treasure Spirit was sitting on Yaobao’s back, happily playing with his phone, which had its screen replaced.
"Jia Country is vast, if we search normally, we’ll definitely not find Hidden Ghost Grass within a month." Mikaela asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to first publish the task to find Hidden Ghost Grass, and then hire some Spectral-type Pet Beasts to help search."
"It’s a good idea, but you need to screen the Spectral-type Pet Beasts you find." Mikaela said.
"Why?" Qiao Sang asked.
Hidden Ghost Grass can only be seen by Spectral-type Pet Beasts and Beast Tamers with Spiritual Vision, so why screen them? As long as the Spectral-type Pet Beasts can see it, won’t that be enough?
"Because it’s said that Hidden Ghost Grass has a lethal attraction to Spectral-type Pet Beasts." Mikaela replied slowly, "If they lack absolute self-control, they might consume it directly upon finding it."
Hearing this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but glance at Little Treasure Spirit.
In her opinion, Little Treasure Spirit’s self-control was somewhat lacking.
Little Treasure Spirit noticed her Beast Tamer’s gaze and looked up, grinning.
... Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze and said seriously, "I will carefully conduct the screening."
She then thought of something and asked, "Can Jiu Bugu help with the search?"
Jiu Bugu was right there, gazing at the moon, exuding a sense of "loneliness" all over, seemingly not hearing the conversation.
Mikaela glanced at Jiu Bugu and sighed:
"It can help, but don’t set your expectations too high..."
"Momo."
Before finishing her words, Dragon King added, indicating that it’s true; this guy spends nine out of ten minutes thinking of escaping from its Smiling Eye Night Spirit, making it impossible to focus on helping the search.
When Smiling Eye Night Spirit was mentioned, Jiu Bugu looked over, but soon shifted its gaze back to the moon.
Mikaela nodded in agreement.
It still needs to contact the Tenth Seat, and then contact Time Plate... Qiao Sang pretended to sigh, "If I can’t complete the mission assessment this time, I might have to stay another year on Flame Sky Star, and wait until next year for the assessment."
The meaning is if she can’t complete the mission, she’ll leave Flame Sky Star later, and take longer to see the Tenth Seat.
"Jiu Jiu."
Jiu Bugu understood the implication and turned to seriously call out, indicating it would help in the search.
Dragon King, not having understood initially, looked surprised.
Its thinking was really quick... Mikaela paused for a moment, looked at Qiao Sang, and secretly admired her.
She was confident in her strength and wisdom, but admitted she didn’t have such a talent in communicating with Pet Beasts.
"Thank you." Qiao Sang expressed her gratitude.
"Jiu Jiu." Jiu Bugu responded and continued gazing at the moon.
"How is Qingyun Nainai’s energy level now?" Mikaela changed the topic.
She remembered the Demon Spirit Jade.
"It’s close to the limit." Qiao Sang said.
"When you get to Jia Country, you can have it measured." Mikaela said.
"How much longer to reach Jia Country?" Qiao Sang asked.
Mikaela looked at her phone and replied, "About half an hour."
Actually, whether it was Pen Jiami or Little Treasure Spirit, they could directly move to Jia Country, but the reserved hotel wouldn’t be available for check-in until 7 PM, so they didn’t move there directly.
To search for a plant in a country, one cannot search aimlessly; at least they need to understand the terrain first, so Qiao Sang was also in no rush to go immediately.
She originally planned to go out to scout information about Hidden Ghost Grass after checking into the hotel, and then find some Spectral-type Pet Beasts, but Teacher Mikaela suggested testing Qingbao’s energy, so it wasn’t necessary to refuse. Perhaps better to let Qingbao evolve during the test, otherwise Teacher Mikaela would see Qingbao’s energy close to the General-level Pet Beast’s limit and spend the following days testing her, which would waste time searching for Hidden Ghost Grass... Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and asked:
"After absorbing Curse Crystal, will Little Treasure Spirit fall asleep for a long time due to digestion?"
Little Treasure Spirit heard this and looked over.
"No." Mikaela replied.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit’s eyes brightened instantly, and he took off the ring immediately, pulling out Curse Crystal from inside and stuffing it into his mouth. With a "crack," he crunched it up.
Qiao Sang observed this and didn’t stop him.
If consuming Curse Crystal would make him sleep for a long time, she would definitely wait until the mission assessment was done before having Little Treasure Spirit consume it.
"However, after absorbing Curse Crystal, there will be a period of being unable to control the Curse Power within, wanting to curse nearby people and Pet Beasts." Mikaela continued.
