hateful!

This look must be mocking him!

"You bastard!" Aza looked at Qiao Bai angrily, as if he wanted to rush up and fight Qiao Bai to the death.

Qiao Bai showed a puzzled look at Aza's companions.

Aza's companions also looked puzzled.

"Although I don't know what you are angry about, but if you attack me for no reason, I think my pet will not show mercy." Qiao Bai said calmly.

Aza was even angrier! This guy! He was the one who provoked me first, but he was still pretending to be innocent?

Aza was almost pissed off by Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai continued to smile calmly.

hehe.

At this time, it depends on who loses patience first.

Aza's companions looked at him with increasingly strange eyes.

"Aza, I know you're angry that the Mushroommon ran away, but it was you who did it just now..."

"I know you are angry, but you can't..."

The voices of his companions failed to persuade Aza this time.

Qiao Bai's provocative smile and tea-talking style were deeply imprinted in Aza's mind.

Aza rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Qiao Bai with all his might.

Qiao Bai first gave Aza's companions a helpless look and spread his hands.

Then.

Swish, swish, swish——

The four pets attacked together.

The other Mushroom Beast and Spring Ivy, who were commanded by Aza, were instantly pinned to the ground by the little jellyfish.

What are the remaining three pets doing?

oh.

They all set their sights on Aza.

Facing the life threats from Xiaowu, Maomao Chong and Xiaobai Snake, Aza: "..."

Are you moved? I dare not move.

I dare not move at all.

Golden red pupils.

Golden eyes in hunting mode.

He also has a pair of eyes that are enough to make people lose their minds.

Sweat broke out on Aza's back and forehead as he was targeted.

The hair stood on end.

Goosebumps all over the floor.

"Calm down!"

Seeing this, Aza's companions finally realized that the situation was not good.

They hurried forward, trying to stop Qiao Bai's behavior.

The extraordinary creatures around them also began to move.

Qiao Bai observed it as well.

Most of the locals in Wanmu City only have one of these extraordinary creatures, and only a few have two.

But there are rarely more than three.

Qiao Bai can understand this.

A beastmaster who has awakened extraordinary powers and possesses the talent for taming beasts can only contract up to six pets.

Moreover, the spiritual sea beast control space must be slowly expanded to accommodate more contracted pets.

Ordinary people want to control a large number of extraordinary creatures at once? This is not the way to die.

Think of this.

Qiao Bai took another look at the guy named Aza.

Nothing else to say.

Just look at this guy, he is the only one among this group of people who can control three pets.

I knew his status would not be too low.

Just like what Qiao Bai thought.

As soon as he pinned the man down, those people rushed over hurriedly.

pity.

Aza was vulnerable in front of Qiao Bai, and the others were not much better.

There is no need to move the cat, cat bug and little white snake.

Xiao Wu just turned around and looked back, shifting his gaze from Aza to the people and pets who wanted to rush over.

They stopped moving instantly.

This look, this intimidation…it’s not that they don’t want to move.

I really dare not move!

The atmosphere in the square also became strange.

Because Qiao Bai's appearance brought them hope, the tourists were very concerned about Qiao Bai's every move.

Seeing that Qiao Bai had a conflict with the locals...even though they didn't directly stand on Qiao Bai's side, they would definitely not try to dissuade Qiao Bai.

Not to mention that they were also frightened by the locals' previous actions of forcibly taking away the pet professors and experts.

Just at this moment.

An elderly man, who looked to be in his sixties, with white hair and chicken skin, walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Master Beastmaster, I apologize to you for Aza's recklessness."

"Please forgive his mistake."

Qiao Bai looked at the old man who put a high hat on him right from the start.

Dressed in the characteristic style of Wanmu City, he looks like an elderly priest or witch.

Hunched back.

At first glance, he seems to be walking very slowly, but if you look closely you will find that the old man's legs are in good condition, and it's just an appearance, he actually walks very fast.

Not to mention the clarity and sharpness that shone in those eyes.

An important person.

"Okay, let's forget it this time." Qiao Bai waved to Xiao Wu and the others decisively.

Including the little jellyfish that held down the two extraordinary creatures, Qiao Bai's four pets flew, ran, and fluttered back to his side.

The old man paused when he saw this.

Huh? Why not play by the rules? All his remaining tricks are useless.

The old man looked at Qiao Bai again.

The old fox and the little fox smiled at each other.

Old man: “…”

Got it.

It was not unfair for my kid to lose.

The old man put away those tricks and said slowly: "Thank you, Beastmaster, you are very generous."

"It's a small matter." Qiao Bai smiled slightly, and then changed the subject: "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I am Darazaxi, the elder of these children."

Qiao Bai raised his eyebrows.

elder?

It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the patriarch, right? But this is not very important.

The geographical location of Wanmu City is indeed very special, and it is understandable that the special ecological environment leads to special management conditions.

"I heard that Wanmu City recently invited many pet professors and other scholars to hold a talent selection event, right?" Qiao Bai looked around.

"But why don't I seem to see any pet professors I know?"

Finally, Qiao Bai looked at the old man Dara Zaxi and said, "These pet professors are all precious talents of the alliance."

Should there be a reasonable explanation for locking someone up without permission?

Otherwise...

The alliance can accept Wanmu City’s special animal taming methods due to his special physique.

It's okay for them to live their own way.

But that doesn't mean we can tolerate them turning Wanmu City into a country within a country.

Darazaxi's expression changed when he understood Qiao Bai's unfinished meaning.

"Haha, don't worry, Master Beastmaster, they are all fine!"

"How could we possibly do anything bad to them!"

"We still have some sense of propriety."

Do you think he believes it? Qiao Bai: No.

He just asked a few more questions in the crowd, and those beast tamers dared to attack him directly.

Do you believe they know their limits? Qiao Bai looked at Aza, who was being helped up not far away, with his teeth bared and his face full of resentment and dissatisfaction, and smiled without saying a word.

Old man: “…”

The family has brought shame upon themselves in front of outsiders.

Darazaxi glared at Aza.

Aza, who was not far away, seemed to realize how much trouble his previous reckless behavior had caused everyone.

He looked at the old man angrily and didn't dare to speak.

Darazaxi glared at Aza again, then looked at Qiao Bai.

Change face instantly.

The old man looked at Qiao Bai and said with a smile: "This matter...well, it's a bit complicated to explain anyway."

"If you don't mind, Master Beastmaster, can we talk somewhere else?"

Qiao Bai touched his chin and said nothing.

Qiao Bai glanced at the young man next to him who had revealed a lot of information to him before.

The young man looked confused: "Huh?"

What are you looking at him doing?

"Hey!" The auntie who had also spoken to Qiao Bai pushed the boy aside, came up to him and said to him loudly and enthusiastically: "Go ahead, young man!"

"If the Alliance comes to rescue us and you haven't come out yet, I will help you to talk about this!"

Qiao Bai: "Okay, thank you, big sister."

Hearing this, the old lady smiled happily: "Great! Young men nowadays are so sweet!"

Auntie is happy.

Qiao Bai also made unnecessary preparations for the back-up plan.

Then he turned and looked at the old man.

The old man who was obviously distrusted: "..."

What can I say?

It's the people in our family who are not doing well who are embarrassed first, so can't we let the young guys from outside be more cautious?

The old man turned around and led Qiao Bai in the opposite direction of the square.

Qiao Bai didn't ask anything and just followed.

Watching Qiao Bai and the old man leave, those who almost attacked Qiao Bai, including Aza, looked at each other.

"He left with Darla?"

"So what do we do next?"

"Dara won't punish us, will he?"

"But we didn't have any conflict with that guy. It was all because of Aza..."

As they talked, everyone's eyes fell on Aza.

After being stepped on by the cat bug, Aza felt as if his ribs were about to break: "..."

What about companionship?

Where is the friendship we promised? Companions: No, it doesn’t exist! “Aza, you are responsible for your own actions. We believe that Dara will not punish you!”

Aza covered his aching chest and sat on the ground, not wanting to move at all.

…

Qiao Bai followed Darazaxi and walked into an octagonal tree house that was a whole circle larger than the surrounding tree houses.

As soon as you walk in.

He looked around the entire cabin with a curious, unconcealed gaze.

It's amazing.

Although it looks like a wooden house from the outside, its interior has complete functions in terms of ventilation, air permeability, lighting, and sheltering from wind and rain.

While Qiao Bai was looking at the tree house, the old man sat on the colorful sofa nearby and made a pot of steaming tea.

"Have some tea." The old man placed a cup of tea in front of Qiao Bai.

His eyes were fixed on the mask on Qiao Bai's face.

Qiao Bai seemed not to notice anything unusual. He took off his mask and casually hung it on the corner of the cat and bug.

Cat and Cat Bug: “?”

"grumble?"

The cat and bug that was originally circling around Qiao Bai's feet had its attention drawn to the mask. It started circling around itself and tried hard to pick the mask off its head.

The old man who saw this scene: "..."

Darazaxi struggled to turn his gaze away from the cat and bug that were running around and put it on Qiao Bai's face.

Then his eyes were dazed for a moment.

“You…you are…”

Qiao Bai raised his eyebrows.

Hmm? What's wrong?

If it were someone else, Qiao Bai would at most think that the other party had recognized his true identity.

Being too famous and being on the hot search list for a long time has this disadvantage.

But Wanmu City is a relatively remote and closed city.

Young people may also go online.

But Qiao Bai didn't think that Darazaxi, who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, would have any special impression of him.

Ominous... Well, it can't be called an ominous premonition.

"The messenger of Lord Shenshu!"

Just when Qiao Bai was thinking about this and that, he heard Darazaxi shouting, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Qiao Bai was extremely complicated.

Qiao Bai: “?”

"Hmm~?"

Messenger? What messenger? Needless to say, the "Lord of the Divine Tree" mentioned by the old man, Qiao Bai directly targeted Jianmu.

"What messenger?" Qiao Bai asked directly.

After listening to Qiao Bai's words, Darazaxi's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he shook his head: "No, that's not right, I saw it wrong."

Qiao Bai was speechless.

What do you call this? You whet people's appetite and then say nothing?

What kind of new torture is this? "What's going on with that messenger?" After thinking for a while, Qiao Bai added, "And what's going on with you guys? Where's the wreath?"

Darazaxi, who had been planning to fool Qiao Bai, immediately became sharp-eyed when he heard the word "wreath".

"How do you, a foreigner, know about wreaths?!" The old man's hunched back straightened up suddenly, and his sharp eyes stared at Qiao Bai without blinking.

It seemed that if Qiao Bai did anything wrong, he would be taken down immediately.

"The sacred tree told me." Qiao Bai threw a straight ball over.

Darazaxi, who had just become alert, looked confused: "Ah...ah?"

Who said that? Shenmu?

Just kidding! Darazaxi came back to his senses and looked at Qiao Bai with the eyes of a child who didn't understand.

"No matter where you heard about the wreaths, it could be research beforehand or you heard about it from some tourists."

"You're trying to get words out of an old man like me."

"But these reasons are not enough for you to use Lord Shenshu as an excuse!"

Qiao Bai gave the old man a helpless look.

"How do you know this is just an excuse?"

Without waiting for the old man to refute, Qiao Bai quickly described the appearance of Jianmu that he saw.

The old man who originally didn't believe what Qiao Bai said gradually became dazed.

Qiao Bai seemed to see a groundhog expression on his face.

Huh? Ah! No?

Why is this? Finally, the old man came to his senses.

"You've got the letter this time?" Qiao Bai smiled the same way as before: "Tell me, what's going on with the wreath, and what's going on with those pet professors."

"This..." Darazaxi didn't avoid the question.

The scene of communicating with the sacred tree described by Qiao Bai really shocked the old man.

The old man instantly turned from an old fox into a little white rabbit, and he cooperated as best as he could.

"Oh!" He came up and let out a long sigh.

"That's what happened to the wreath... it's missing!"

"The problem is that we were in the middle of planning an event, and no one knew when or how the wreath disappeared!"

Qiao Bai: "So we arrest the outsiders first, right?"
