Under your feet is a patterned ground made up of green and red bricks.

In the center stand two statues of a man and a woman standing back to back, whose faces cannot be clearly seen.

Although being stared at by countless eyes.

But Qiao Bai's eyes still subconsciously swept over the heads of the two statues, which were almost as tall as normal people.

I don’t know if it was Qiao Bai’s illusion.

Or maybe it was because of what Jianmu said just now, Qiao Bai always felt that the female statue should wear a wreath on its head.

But no.

The top of his head was empty with his long hair flying in the air.

Nothing at all.

"How...how did you get in?"

Just as Qiao Bai was lost in thought, a trembling voice sounded beside him.

Qiao Bai finally realized what state he was in: "..."

Oh no.

Qiao Bai raised his head somewhat stiffly and met those fierce eyes again.

Qiao Bai: “…”

At a glance.

Because of their dress and temperament, Qiao Bai could basically tell the difference between the locals and tourists in Wanmu City at a glance.

Tourists will look at him with more excitement and urgency.

As if he wanted to know how he got in and whether they could leave here using this method.

And the way the locals looked at him...it's hard to describe, more like they saw something unbelievable.

"Hmm..." Qiao Bai groaned for a moment and said, "I am a member of the NY City Beast Taming Alliance. I found that something special seemed to have happened in Wanmu City, so I came here to see what's going on."

Qiao Bai nodded seriously as he spoke.

Although Qiao Bai had a mask on his face and a baseball cap on his head, his voice sounded a little young.

But Qiao Bai spoke very calmly and confidently.

None of the tourists suspected anything.

At most, there were only three or two people who felt that Qiao Bai, wearing a mask, looked somewhat familiar.

"That's great, comrade!" Immediately, an old lady stood out from the crowd, waving her hands excitedly and asked loudly in the direction of Qiao Bai.

"Did the Alliance say when they could rescue us?"

“Yes, yes, yes!”

After the auntie spoke, the tourists around her also echoed her.

When can I go out?

This is what they care about most!

"Don't be anxious, just wait a little longer." Since Qiao Bai dared to say this, he must have been prepared.

"I communicated with the alliance when I came in. As long as I lose contact for more than 24 hours, they will immediately send a large number of people."

"I'm here to lead the charge."

The tourists still had many questions and were very noisy.

But overall everyone was relieved.

OK, OK, OK.

As long as the outside world knows their current situation.

Knowing they are trapped here.

Rather than staying here voluntarily, that's enough!

Qiao Bai comforted the tourists while his eyes fell on the locals.

Different from the tourists' "saved" expressions.

The expressions of those locals were still quite solemn.

Suspicious glances would pass over Qiao Bai from time to time.

Qiao Bai smiled.

It seems like they really have no purpose, don't know any truth, and are here simply as vanguard soldiers.

"By the way, do you know Professor Zhou Xinran?" Qiao Bai casually asked a young man next to him.

“Their school has a mandate for our alliance.”

In front of so many people, Qiao Bai was cautious and did not directly state the relationship between him and Zhou Xinran.

However, when Qiao Bai said Zhou Xinran's name.

The young man's expression gradually became hesitant.

The locals in Wanmu City who were closest to Qiao Bai seemed to have heard something and suddenly looked in the direction of Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai's heart skipped a beat.

I had a bad feeling.

no?

What does this look mean? Without waiting for Qiao Bai to ponder.

Someone took the initiative to provide an answer.

"Do you know those professors?" A middle-aged man with a rough look and a thick beard, who only lacked a shotgun to perfectly cosplay as a hunter, walked towards Qiao Bai.

His deep voice and tall stature caused the area around Qiao Bai to suddenly become quiet.

Qiao Bai realized that the situation seemed to be a little worse than he had imagined.

Smile slightly.

"That depends on your definition of knowing." Qiao Bai shrugged calmly, looking directly into the eyes of the middle-aged bearded man without any fear.

"NY City is not far from Blue Bird University, and everyone in our alliance has heard of Professor Zhou."

"After Bluebird University learned that we were coming to Wanmu City, they specifically asked us to make sure to contact and protect Professor Zhou."

"That's it."

Qiao Bai spread his hands and looked very honest.

The middle-aged bearded man stared at Qiao Bai with sharp eyes for a minute, and finally slowly looked away.

"If you don't know me, don't ask any more questions."

Qiao Bai's brows jumped.

The bad premonition came true.

Just because he doesn't want to offend these people doesn't mean he is afraid of offending them.

"Why can't I ask?" Qiao Bai continued under the horrified gaze of the young man next to him.

"Professor Zhou is a famous pet research professor at Blue Bird University and a well-known professor in Jinyang City and NY City. We have the need and obligation to protect her safety."

"It was your Wanmu City that invited the professor to participate in the event as a judge."

"Now that the professor is missing, shouldn't you give a reasonable explanation?"

Qiao Bai’s main character is honest and fearless.

Listening to Qiao Bai's words, the expression on the middle-aged bearded man's face gradually became angry and impatient.

It was the young man next to him who was grateful to Qiao Bai for taking the lead as an alliance staff member to check on their situation and serve as a bridge between the two sides.

The young man pulled Qiao Bai's clothes and whispered, "Don't ask. It won't do you any good to anger them at this time."

Qiao Bai didn't say anything. The middle-aged bearded man glanced at Qiao Bai and the young man, snorted heavily, and finally left without looking back.

Qiao Bai stared at his back until he disappeared.

Then Qiao Bai looked at the people around him.

There are no locals.

"What on earth happened?" Qiao Bai asked in a low voice.

The young man also hurriedly looked around and pulled Qiao Bai to a circle full of tourists.

Amid the happy discussion, the young man whispered to Qiao Bai: "The Professor Zhou Xinran you are talking about is the youngest beautiful professor, right?"

The young man said this with an appearance of being impressed by Zhou Xinran.

no way.

Among the older and middle-aged professors, Zhou Xinran's appearance and temperament are indeed particularly outstanding.

Qiao Bai nodded.

"So what happened next?" Qiao Bai's voice also became small.

The young man quickly looked around again, and then spoke quickly into Qiao Bai's ear.

“They locked up all those professors.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai's face did not show any expression of shock.

How should I put it...it actually felt a bit like what he had expected.

"Do you know why?"

The young man's expression suddenly became a little confused: "Ah...ah...I'm not sure about this?"

“Anyway…” The young man scratched his head with a silly expression on his face, “They just said that something was missing, and then all the professors were taken away with it.”

Qiao Bai: “…”

Understand.

Local secrets.

But Qiao Bai once again thought of the wreath first.

Why are the professors locked up? The wreath is gone.

Do locals know the importance of leis?

Know.

They would not think that the disappearance of the wreath was caused by their own people.

Maybe because of some relationship.

They determined that the disappearance of the wreath was related to the foreign professors.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai sighed deeply.

How should I put it...it's just a bit of a headache.

Qiao Bai: "Why are you all gathered in this square?"

"Everyone suddenly couldn't get out. It was as if the road out of Wanmu City had disappeared."

"And then...someone suggested that it would be safer for everyone to get together?"

The young man spread his hands and said, "This square is the largest place in Wanmu City that can accommodate the most people."

So is there anything strange about it? Anyway, I think it's quite natural.

"Then do you feel that this square is different from the previous ones?"

"Ah?" The young man seemed not to have expected Qiao Bai to ask such a question.

However, out of trust in Qiao Bai's identity, the young man answered honestly.

"I guess... not?"

There was a hint of confusion in the young man's expression.

Different? What's different? I don't feel anything at all.

Before Qiao Bai could ask anything else, an old lady next to the two men suddenly leaned over.

"Why?"

"Hey! Comrade, you want to ask what has changed here, right? I know!" The aunt did not lower her voice intentionally.

Fortunately, the people around were quite lively, so it didn't attract any extra attention.

"My husband and I took some photos in this square as soon as we arrived!" As she spoke, the old lady took out her cell phone and clicked on a few photos.

He turned around and put the phone in front of Qiao Bai.

If Qiao Bai hadn't stepped back quickly, he might have been hit in the face.

Qiao Bai: “…”

cough.

This is not important.

See photos.

Look at the photos quickly.

very good.

The aunties and uncles went to take photos towards the two statues in the square.

The original appearance of the statue was captured in its entirety.

The male and female statues each wear a wreath on their heads.

Male statues tend to be woven with vine wreaths made of vine branches and leaves.

The female statues have colorful wreaths on their heads.

Although the garlands come in many colors, they magically do not appear discordant or messy at all, and even have a beauty that is close to nature.

The words before Jianmu.

Qiao Bai can say this with certainty.

This wreath is the wreath that Jianmu mentioned.

"You..." Qiao Bai took the aunt's mobile phone, looked at the photo on it, and was about to say something.

A dark figure suddenly appeared over Qiao Bai's head.

Qiao Bai is not so careless as to say this.

Look up.

Qiao Bai saw a huge figure covering him.

It was a giant mushroom.

The shadow cast over Qiao Bai is its umbrella cap.

Qiao Bai: “…”

The young man and the old lady next to them.

The two men took a step back in unison.

The young man and the old lady looked at each other.

The aunt's hand was as fast as lightning, and she snatched her phone back from Qiao Bai's hand.

Then he gave Qiao Bai a look that said "May you be lucky".

It's not that we don't help you.

I really have the will but not the ability!

Qiao Bai, who had put away his pet before coming in, said: "..."

What's this for? Threatening him with force?

The same thing.

Just because Qiao Bai doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble doesn't mean that Qiao Bai is afraid of trouble.

Next second.

Four pets appeared beside Qiao Bai at the same time.

Fly and float.

Those who can run can run, and those who can entangle can entangle.

Everyone is familiar with the process and performs their duties.

It won't disturb the other person at all.

But now their most important task is to face the outside world in unity.

The targeted Mushroommon: "..."

I'm so scared.

The last second it was the one that had the upper hand.

Without waiting for it to show off its power for a while, the beastmaster has accomplished his goal.

Next second.

Faced with these four pets, the Umbrella Mushroom Beast immediately became scared.

Yes.

The Mushroom Beast could sense an extremely dangerous aura from the four pets in front of it.

If Mushroommon is also a contracted pet.

Out of trust in the Beastmaster.

Link to the contract.

As long as the opponent does not take action, the Umbrella Mushroom Beast will not run away.

However, the relationship between the mushroom beast and its driver is not based on a contract.

After sensing the dangerous aura from the four pets, the Umbrella Mushroom Beast instantly made a move that made everyone around it unbelievable -

Run! Turn around and run!

Rushed directly into the invisible edge of the town! Run out... Umbrella Mushroom Beast knew that he would not be able to run away.

That doesn't matter.

Just stay away from these four devils!

The person who controls the mushroom beast: "..."

Parasol mushroom... isn't it a parasol mushroom as big as him?

Although in Wanmu City, ordinary people can also tame beasts.

But this does not mean that animal taming has no cost at all and one can easily control an extraordinary creature.

Choose the strongest supernatural creature that you can control within your personal capabilities.

The compatibility between the two parties.

The tacit understanding that comes from being together for a long time...

And so on and so forth.

This is also a very complicated link.

Every extraordinary creature they can control is a precious treasure to them.

But just run away like that?

moment.

The look in the eyes of the mushroom beast rider when he looked at Qiao Bai became different. It was no exaggeration to say that he was poisoned.

He winked at his companions.

It means that everyone goes together.

Let's teach this guy a lesson! Companion: "..."

Can they choose to give up? "What he said makes sense. He just accepted the commission and came to find someone. Isn't it normal to ask about the situation?"

"He should not be in the same group with those people. I think you are overthinking, Aza!"

As soon as these words came out.

The others all nodded.

Yes, yes, yes.

That's what I mean.

Aza, the only one who lost the Toadstool Beast: "..."

Aza took a few deep breaths and reluctantly believed what his companions said.

Then……

When he turned around, he saw Qiao Bai looking straight at him.

Qiao Bai:) (End of this chapter)
