"Although this wick may help a person hold on for a while, once the energy contained in it is consumed or the wick is pulled out, the person will die immediately."
"But the wick cannot be taken randomly. Once it is taken out, it will basically end the evolution of the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp. The damage to the foundation of the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp caused by taking out the wick is permanent."
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say before that if the wick of a ghost-absorbing lamp is gone, it's like a person losing his heart and dying immediately? And you also said that the human body can't bear it."
Liu Yao: “…”
"Yes, you will die. The human body can't bear it. It's just a matter of time." Liu Yao tried to save his dignity.
Qiao Sang did not doubt anything and continued to ask: "How long can the wick stay in the human body?"
Seeing that Qiao Sang didn't insist on the question, Liu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and his tone became relaxed: "It should be about three days."
Three days...
The time is wrong.
According to the time period when the ghost-absorbing lamp disappeared, it has clearly been more than half a month...
"What if the wick stays in the human body for about half a month?" Qiao Sang asked after thinking for a while.
Liu Yao was silent for a moment before answering, "It shouldn't be possible. If the energy of the wick is not replenished within three days, it will be exhausted. Once it has no effect in the human body, the person will die on the spot."
"Besides, without the wick of the ghost-absorbing lamp, the energy in the body cannot be replenished and it will soon collapse."
I have to say it's good to have a knowledgeable person around you. This phone call allowed Qiao Sang to directly guess the whereabouts of the Ghost Lamp.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Sang ordered a takeout on the spot.
Since the wick will run out of energy and cannot stay in the human body for a long time, in order to ensure the old lady's safety, the ghost-sucking lamp will come back every two days to replenish the wick's energy.
Without a wick, the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp has to think about accumulating energy to replenish the wick while maintaining its own movement. It must be in an energy gathering place that ghost-type pets like.
What the ghost-sucking lamp likes is spirit, which is nothing more than places with young people and lots of hormones.
The bar, school, club or venue where a match is being held should be the place for it.
Hanggang City is so big that it would be too troublesome to search. The ghost-sucking lantern would come back every now and then to replenish the wick and the old lady didn't know about it yet. It would definitely come late at night when everyone was asleep.
If it's really as she guessed, then we can just sit back and wait.
If not, the wick will only last for three days at most, and the team will gather after leaving school in five days, so there are still two days left to find a solution.
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang looked up and asked with a smile: "Yabao, do you want to rest?"
"tooth."
Yabao shook his head honestly.
rest?
No! It has unlimited energy! "No, you want to rest." Qiao Sang looked at Yabao and smiled.
"tooth……"
Yabao looked back blankly, he didn't want to...
One minute later.
Xiying Community.
In the shaded area next to the downstairs gate of Unit 5.
A majestic red and white pet was lying on the ground, with a slender girl lying on it.
Qiao Sang lay on Yabao, holding his phone and waiting for the takeaway.
Yabao doesn't want to rest, she wants to.
…
9pm.
Hanggang City.
Linhu Reservoir, under the overpass.
Many people walked towards this side from all directions, and then never came out again.
If you turn your view closer, you will find a secret door at the bottom of the overpass.
The door opened automatically, and inside there was a lot of noise and bustle, it was completely different world from the outside.
This is an underground beast taming black competition venue.
The whole place was filled with the smell of sweat, tobacco, and hormones.
"Poisonous scorpion!"
"Ghost-sucking lamp!"
The audience around shouted the names of the two pets, and the majority of them shouted "Ghost-Sucking Lantern".
Only in the competition venue.
The purple poisonous scorpion fell to the ground motionless.
The referee came over to it and counted down.
“1.”
"2..."
At this moment, the poisonous scorpion, without moving its head, swung its long tail, and several poisonous needles shot out from the air, with the silver tips shining brightly.
The faces of the audience who supported the Ghost-Sucking Lamp changed drastically. They didn’t expect that there would be a sneak attack at this time!
The attack speed of these poison needles was too fast, and the Ghost Lamp was unable to defend itself, and several poison needles entered its body.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Ghost-sucking lamp! Get rid of it!" The man with scars on his face standing at the command post roared.
Everything in front of the ghost-sucking lantern was blurry, and the sound ringing in my ears seemed to be coming from far away.
It gasped for air and tried to operate the wick, but just as it felt inside its body it suddenly realized that it had no wick left.
"Ghost-sucking lamp, what are you standing there for? Go and kill it!" the scarred man shouted.
"Sucking ghosts..."
The Ghost Lamp endured the severe pain in its body, slowly raised its claws, condensed a shadow ball and threw it at the blurry figure on the ground.
…
"What happened to you in the end? Why were you so slow to react?" complained the scarred man backstage at the game.
The ghost-absorbing lamp looked at him expressionlessly.
The man's heart trembled, and he changed the subject: "Fortunately, we won later, otherwise our work would have been in vain."
The ghost-sucking lamp didn't speak.
"Here, this is your reward." The man was used to the ghost lamp ignoring him, so he threw a box over.
The box was thrown in front of the ghost-sucking lamp and fell to the ground.
The man was shocked when he saw this: "Hey, I didn't mean to call you, you were the one who didn't answer it!"
The ghost-sucking lamp's ears were buzzing, and it couldn't hear what the man was saying, but it knew that it couldn't fall down now.
"We have been working together for so many days, why haven't you changed at all? Don't you think about how you can come in to play the game without me?" The man picked up the box from the ground and handed it to the Ghost Lamp with a curse.
Everything in front of the ghost-sucking lantern was blurry. It tried hard to focus and finally had a moment to see clearly what was in front of it.
It breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the fight was not in vain.
The Ghost-Sucking Lamp wanted to stretch out its claws to take it, but when it moved, it found that it had no strength.
"Sucking ghosts."
The ghost-sucking lamp shouted with a cold face.
The man was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the long-tailed snake beside him and asked, "What did it say?"
"Tail."
Long-tailed snake translated.
After hearing what the long-tailed snake said, the man's mouth twitched. He opened the box, took out the things inside and stuffed them into the ghost-sucking lantern's mouth.
"You're such a big shot," the man complained as he stuffed his stuff.
After swallowing the thing, the Ghost Lamp finally regained some strength and its senses recovered a little. It used its limited energy to wrap the thing in its body, not wanting it to merge into its body.
"Will you come tomorrow?" the man asked.
The ghost-absorbing lamp nodded.
Seeing that the Ghost Lamp paid attention to him, the man grinned and said, "You said we have known each other for so long, but you didn't tell me where you came from. You should know that wild pets are very dangerous here. If you hadn't met me, you would have been caught long ago."
"I think we can get along well. Why don't you just wait until I have the next page of the Beast Taming Codex and then make a contract with me."
The ghost-sucking lantern ignored him and turned to float towards the door.
It is not a wild pet, it has a tamer.
