Chapter 579: Scaleshield Moth
Chapter 579: Scaleshield Moth
"Mumu!"
Mular struggled fiercely.
The little girl, frightened, moved further behind her mother.
Mular immediately sensed the girl's movement and instantly quieted down.
"Is this the Mular you mentioned?" Qiao Sang asked.
"It is", Maya confirmed with certainty. "We haven't seen any other Mulars around here, and it always has that smell of a garbage pile. I'm sure it's definitely this one!"
In fact, as soon as Mular entered, Qiao Sang had noticed a rather unpleasant odor.
So, this must be the Mular... Seeing that the mission issuer had confirmed it, Qiao Sang didn't waste any time and said, "In that case, I'll take this Mular with me."
Maya said enthusiastically, "Have some saliva before you go!"
She hadn't expected the young Beastmaster to catch Mular before Nadapong arrived, which made her incredibly happy. She was eager to pull out her mobile phone and give a five-star review.
"No, thank you", Qiao Sang declined.
This mission was now a wash. There was still time to complete the evaluation, so he needed to find another challenging mission quickly...
Seeing Qiao Sang's response, Maya didn't insist. She was content and opened the door with a smile, saying, "I'll see you out."
Mular, upon seeing the door open, realized it was about to be taken away and struggled even harder.
"Mumu!"
It let out a cry and suddenly shot out two bare Vine Whips from its palms, wrapping them around the legs of the coffee table, refusing to budge.
Steel Treasure, who had been watching quietly, looked at Mular with a thoughtful expression.
"Ganggang."
Just as Qiao Sang was about to call Treasure Seeker to Hypnotize Mular and take it away, Steel Treasure made a sound, indicating that Mular seemed to have something to say.
Qiao Sang was taken aback, looked at Mular, and asked, "Do you have something to say?"
"Mumu..."
Mular looked at the unfamiliar human, hesitated, then shifted its gaze to the little girl nearby, as if confirming the relationship between them.
The little girl, seeing Mular looking at her, was scared and wanted to hide behind her mother. However, she had to pass by Mular to reach her mother, so she instinctively hid behind Qiao Sang.
Mular's eyes dimmed, then its expression became resolute. It released the Vine Whips from the table legs and redirected them, attacking the nearest wall with speed.
Before Qiao Sang could react, several Leaf Blades suddenly flew in from outside the door, slicing the Vine Whips into several pieces in a few swift movements.
Then, a slightly hoarse voice said, "Maya, I told you I could help you. Why did you bring in another Beastmaster?"
Qiao Sang followed the voice and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, with sunken eyes, a sharp nose, and thin lips, standing at the door. He was accompanied by a familiar that was mostly green, with short, fingerless arms and a large, round yellow mouth.
The middle-aged man looked at Qiao Sang and smiled, "You're just a kid."
Maya's face darkened, "You're not welcome here. Please leave."
"If it weren't for me, this house would have been destroyed by this Mular many times over", the man said with a smile, walking in without taking off his shoes, as if he were entering his own home. He took the cup of milk from Maya's hand and took a sip.
Trying to poach my job... Qiao Sang thought to himself, but he said aloud with a puzzled tone, "Nadapong?"
"What? You know me?" Nadapong turned to look at him.
So, this is him... Qiao Sang gave Treasure Seeker a subtle nod.
Treasure Seeker understood immediately.
The Shadow Control that bound Mular instantly disappeared.
In the next second, Treasure Seeker's eyes glowed purple as it appeared in front of Nadapong.
Nadapong was startled, his pupils dilating. Before he could even curse, a wave of intense drowsiness washed over him.
The familiar with the yellow mouth, sensing the danger, opened its mouth to condense energy, but a fiery Fireball hit it with a loud "boom."
"Gugu!"
In the sudden blaze, the familiar let out a piercing cry and was sent flying out the door like a shadow.
Nadapong closed his eyes and fell forward.
Treasure Seeker moved aside, and Nadapong faceplanted onto the ground with a heavy thud.
Everything happened so fast that Maya and the little girl both froze, their expressions blank.
"Got any rope?" Qiao Sang asked calmly.
She had experience dealing with Beastmasters who were stronger than herself. During her summer break when she returned to her hometown, she had encountered a C-Class Beastmaster. Before coming here, she had planned to take the initiative while the other party was still off guard, preventing them from summoning their familiars.
Otherwise, they would have to argue, and possibly even fight, which would be troublesome.
Maya stared blankly at Qiao Sang.
"Got any rope?" Seeing that the other person wasn't responding, Qiao Sang had to ask again.
"Yes, yes!" Maya seemed to wake up, turning and quickly walking into the house.
A moment later, she came out with a roll of rope.
Qiao Sang took it, crouched down, and skillfully tied Nadapong's hands, securing them with a tight knot.
After finishing, she stood up and turned to see the little girl staring at her with admiration.
Qiao Sang felt a bit embarrassed.
She turned again and noticed Mular still standing in the same spot, staring at her, not taking the opportunity to run away.
This familiar seems a bit dumb... Qiao Sang thought to herself as she said, "Shadow Control."
Several black shadows suddenly shot out from the ground, emerging from the shadow of the Treasure Seeker and quickly binding Mular tightly.
This time, Mular didn't resist.
It really is a bit dumb... If Nadapong hadn't interfered, this mission would have been completed long ago... Qiao Sang thought again.
At that moment, Fangyears' ears twitched, and he heard some noise outside. He immediately became alert, transformed into a red light, and darted out the door.
"Is something outside?" Maya asked, worried.
"It's probably the familiar that was just outside waking up", Qiao Sang replied, her hearing also picking up the noise. She smiled and added, "Don't worry, it's not a General-Class Beast Companion. My familiar can handle it."
Each stage of familiars has a different aura and pressure. Qiao Sang had encountered a few General-Class Beast Companions before and knew that this one wasn't in that class.
As she spoke, a loud explosion came from outside.
Maya's heart skipped a beat.
They're fighting outside?
Does she mean that an Advanced Familiar can handle it?
The familiar she's always carrying is an Advanced Familiar?
Thinking about this, Maya felt confused. Looking at the girl's age, she didn't seem like someone who would have an Advanced Familiar.
"Mumu."
Suddenly, the bound Mular called out seriously.
"Ganggang?"
Steel Treasure, who had been quiet, called out with a serious expression, asking if it was true.
"Mumu!"
Mular nodded solemnly.
"What's true?" Qiao Sang, understanding only Steel Treasure's language, asked aloud.
"Xunxun~"
Before Steel Treasure could speak, the Treasure Seeker had already translated.
This guy says there's a Scaleshield Moth in this house.
"Xunxun?"
The Treasure Seeker tilted its head after translating.
But what is a Scaleshield Moth?
"Scaleshield Moth?" Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.
Maya froze at the mention of "Scaleshield Moth", then her expression turned anxious as she asked, "Scaleshield Moth? Why are we suddenly talking about Scaleshield Moths?"
"Mular says there's a Scaleshield Moth in this house", Qiao Sang explained.
"Impossible!" Maya's face changed dramatically, her first reaction being disbelief.
Qiao Sang noticed her reaction and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Maya took a deep breath, steadied herself, and explained, "Scaleshield Moths are a type of insect familiar that live in groups and build nests together. If they were in my house, I would definitely know."
"Gugu!"
At that moment, a green figure let out a scream and flew into the room, crashing into the wall with a thud.
The wall, as if poorly constructed, instantly developed a web of cracks.
The wall crumbled, revealing a large hole.
A swarm of white familiars suddenly came into view.
