Maiya's scream echoed throughout the room.
The little girl stood there in a daze, as if she was frightened.
The scene in front of him was unexpected and had a huge visual impact. Qiao Sang instantly felt a chill from his feet to his head and got goose bumps all over his body.
All I saw were white pets crowded together inside the wall, motionless, like specimens. It was a nightmare for people with trypophobia.
"Tooth?"
At this time, Yabao came in from outside the door and looked at the pet in the wall with a puzzled expression.
"What is this?" After hearing Yabao's words, Qiao Sang finally found his voice.
Maiya's legs went completely limp, and she said in a trembling voice that sounded like she was crying, "Scale, Scale Moth, this is the Scale Moth."
So this is the scaly moth. It seems that what the Mura monster said is true... The scaly moth in the wall did not move at all, which also made Qiao Sang calm down. She immediately thought of something and asked:
“Are scale moths dormant?”
Through studying during this period, she knew that some pets had the habit of hibernation, some hibernated in the summer, some hibernated in the winter, and there were even some pets that woke up for a year and then hibernated for a year.
"It should be in hibernation." Maya also realized this, but the fear in her eyes did not disappear at all.
She is not an animal tamer, and her knowledge of wild pets comes from daily contact, other people's gossip, and online news.
She didn't know the hibernation patterns of the scaly moth, but she had heard about it in the past and knew that the scaly moth was a social pet that liked dark and humid places. If she encountered a wild one, there would definitely be hundreds or thousands of scaly moths in its living range.
Last year, she saw a news report about the scale moth on the Internet. A homeowner in the 24th District sold his house to a newly married couple at a price far below the market price. The young couple usually made short videos online to share their life, so they posted this incident online.
There was a lot of envy on the Internet at the time, but some netizens also said that there must be something wrong with the house, otherwise how could the owner be willing to lose so much.
Just three days after the video was released, the 24th District was suddenly hit by heavy rain and hail.
The house the young couple bought collapsed with a loud bang, and tens of thousands of scale moths flew out from inside, crushing the young couple to death inside.
After investigation, they found that the roof, walls, pillars and various building stones of the house they bought had long been eaten by scale moths and became their nesting place.
She never expected that such a thing would happen to her.
Maiya's mentality collapsed when she thought that her house was already full of scale moths and might collapse at any time.
The Mula monster must have come for the scaly moth. Maybe all the things he did before were to lure out the scaly moth, or to let the task issuer find the scaly moth. It was just that Ponda's interference had prevented him from doing so... He didn't know if Ponda did it unintentionally, or if he knew about the existence of the scaly moth and did it on purpose... Qiao Sang thought about it and said:
"No matter what the hibernation status of the scaly moths is, it's not safe to stay with so many of them. You should move to another place as soon as possible, call the police or find other beast masters to solve this problem. I'll take the Mula monster away first."
Her mission is to drive away the Mula monster, and the scaly moth is not within the scope of the mission.
There are so many scale moths on any damaged wall, and who knows how many more are hiding inside. Qiao Sang doesn't want to get involved in this mess.
"I understand." Maya forced a smile and said, "I won't see you off. I have to pack my things quickly."
Although the child in front of her was a beastmaster, the scaly moths were intermediate pets. A few of them were fine, but so many were simply beyond the ability of an ordinary beastmaster to handle. She had never thought of letting the child in front of her solve this problem at once.
Qiao Sang didn't delay and turned to walk out the door.
Then she thought of something, looked at Xiao Xunbao, signaled with her eyes to Ponda and his unconscious grass-type pet, and said, "Take them away as well."
Ponda is a beastmaster. If his pet wakes up first and sees that the beastmaster is unconscious, the task issuer and her daughter will be in danger. It is better to take them together... Qiao Sang thought cautiously.
"Search~"
The little treasure hunter moved his short toes, and the shadow expanded and split, quickly binding up Nadapeng and his grass-type pet.
The Mula monster stayed quietly.
Ever since the scaly moth was discovered, it acted as if its mission had been accomplished and did not make any movement, only occasionally looking at the little girl with a reluctant look.
Seeing that Xiao Xunbao had tied up everyone who needed to be tied up, Qiao Sang opened the door wide, wanting to make it easier for Xiao Xunbao to go out.
As Qiao Sang opened the door, a ray of sunlight shone in from outside and happened to shine on the scaly moths inside the wall.
…
at the same time.
"puff!"
Qu Zhuo, who was drinking coffee in a cafe, looked at the footage on the surveillance camera and spat out the coffee he had just taken a sip.
He didn't bother to wipe the stain, he stood up from the table, turned around and ran towards the outer door.
"Sir! Your computer!" the waiter shouted after him.
Qu Zhuo, who had already summoned a flying pet to ride on it and fly into the sky, quickly patted his pet's back:
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"Turn around! Turn around!"
The flying pet made a sharp 90-degree turn.
After Qu Zhuo got the computer back, he sat on his pet and looked at the picture on the screen with an extremely serious expression.
The scaly moth, a mid-level insect pet, likes to build its nest in dark and humid places. If there is no sunlight, it will sleep for several years or even more than ten years, and will not wake up until it is about to evolve.
But once it encounters the sunlight, it will wake up immediately.
If one wakes up, it will cause all of them to wake up.
The scale moths that Qiao Sang encountered were already in a dormant state, which meant that there were at least thousands of them there.
Only when the number reaches more than a thousand can this race sleep peacefully.
Thousands of scaly moths are simply not something a D-level beastmaster can handle.
What's more, there were two ordinary people who were not beastmasters next to Qiao Sang... Qu Zhuo felt extremely heavy at the moment.
…
The sunlight shines on the scale moths inside the wall.
One of the scaly moths moved its antennae slightly and slowly opened its eyes.
As Qiao Sang stepped out of the door, a feeling of uneasiness came over him.
She turned her head and her eyes suddenly widened.
The scaly moths that were originally like specimens inside the wall flapped their wings and swarmed outwards, while the task issuer was holding her daughter and facing her, waving goodbye, completely unaware of the danger behind them.
"Little Xunbao! Take them away!" Qiao Sang's emotions were filled with intense shock. She had no time to think and shouted loudly.
"Search!"
Little Xunbao's eyes glowed blue.
The next second, Maiya and the little girl disappeared from the spot.
Countless scaly moths flew out of the house and engulfed Qiao Sang.
