Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 582

Chapter 580 Swallowed

“Ah!!!”

Maya’s scream resounded throughout the room.

The little girl stood there in a daze, as if she was frightened.

The scene in front of her was unexpected and had a huge visual impact. Qiao Sang felt a chill from his feet to his head, and got goose bumps all over his body.

The white pets in the wall were densely packed together, motionless, as if they were specimens. It was simply a nightmare for people with trypophobia.

“Ya Ya?”

At this time, Ya Bao came in from outside the door, looking at the pets in the wall with a puzzled expression.

“What is this?” Qiao Sang found his voice after hearing Ya Bao’s words.

Maiya’s legs were completely limp, and she said in a trembling voice with a crying tone:

“Scale, Scale Moth, this is the Scale Moth.”

So this is the Scale Moth, it seems that what the Mu La monster said is true… The Scale Moth in the wall did not move at all, which also made Qiao Sang recover. She immediately thought of something and asked:

“Is the Scale Moth hibernating?”

Through this period of study, she knew that some pets have the habit of hibernation, some are summer hibernation, some are winter hibernation, and even some pets wake up for a year and then hibernate for a year.

“It should be hibernating.” Maiya also realized this, but the fear in her eyes did not disappear at all.

She is not a beastmaster, and her understanding of wild pets comes from daily contact, or other people’s gossip and online news.

She doesn’t know the hibernation rules of the Scale Moth, but she has heard about it in the past. She knows that the Scale Moth is a social pet and likes dark and humid places. If you encounter a wild one, there must be hundreds or thousands of Scale Moths in its living range.

Last year, she saw a piece of news about the scaly 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 couple usually took short videos online to share their lives, so they posted this story online.

At that time, there was a lot of envy on the Internet, but some netizens also said that there must be something wrong with the house, otherwise how could the homeowner be willing to lose so much.

On the third day after the video was posted, the 24th District was hit by heavy rain and hail.

The house bought by the young couple collapsed, and tens of thousands of scaly moths flew out of it, and the couple was directly crushed to death inside.

After investigation, it was discovered that the roof, walls, pillars, and various building stones in the house they bought had long been eaten by scaly moths, and became their nesting place.

She never thought that such a thing would happen to her.

When she thought that her house was already full of scaly moths and might collapse at any time, Maiya’s mentality was somewhat broken.

The Mula monster must have come for the scaly moths. Maybe all the things that had been done before were to lure out the scaly moths, or to let the task issuer discover the scaly moths, but because of the interference of Ponda, it had not been done as expected… I don’t know if Ponda did it unintentionally, or if he knew the existence of the scaly moths and did it on purpose… Qiao Sang thought about it and said:

“No matter what the hibernation of the scaly moths is, it is always unsafe to stay with so many scaly moths. You should move to another place quickly, call the police or find other beast masters to solve this problem. I will take the Mula monster away first.”

Her mission was to drive away the Mula monster, and the scaly moths were not within the scope of the mission.

There were so many scaly moths in any damaged wall. Who knows how many more scaly moths are hidden inside. Qiao Sang didn’t want to get involved in this muddy water.

“I know.” Maya forced a smile: “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 moth was an intermediate pet. A few of them were fine, but so many were not something that an ordinary beastmaster could handle. She never thought of asking the child in front of her to solve this problem.

Qiao Sang did not delay and turned to walk out the door.

She immediately thought of something and looked at Xiao Xunbao. She signaled with her eyes to Ponda and his unconscious grass-type pet, and said:

“Take them away too.”

Ponda was a beastmaster. If his pet woke up first and saw that his beastmaster was unconscious, the task issuer and her daughter would be in danger. It would be better to take them together… Qiao Sang thought cautiously.

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao moved his short toes, and the shadow expanded and split, quickly binding Nada Peng 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.

Unfortunately, the little girl was so focused on the scaly moths that she didn’t realize it.

Seeing that Xiao Xunbao had tied up everything that needed to be tied up, Qiao Sang opened the door wide, hoping that Xiao Xunbao would be able to get out more easily.

As Qiao Sang opened the door, a ray of sunlight shone in from outside the door, just shining on the scaly moths on the wall.

…

At the same time.

“Puff!”

Qu Zhuo, who was originally drinking coffee in the cafe, looked at the screen on the monitor and spit out the coffee he had just taken.

He didn’t bother to wipe the stains, stood up from the table, turned around and ran to the outer door.

“Sir! Your computer!” The waiter chased out and shouted.

Qu Zhuo, who had already summoned a flying pet to sit on it and fly into the sky, quickly patted his pet on the back:

“Turn around! Turn around!”

The flying pet made a sharp 90-degree turn.

When Qu Zhuo got the computer back, he sat on his pet and looked at the screen with an extremely serious expression.

The scaly moth, a mid-level pet of the insect system, likes to build nests 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 sunlight, it will wake up immediately.

If one wakes up, it will cause all of them to wake up.

The scaly moth that Qiao Sang encountered was already in a dormant state, which means that there are at least thousands of scaly moths there.

Because the number reaches more than a thousand, this race will sleep peacefully.

Thousands of scaly moths are not something a D-level beastmaster can deal with.

What’s more, there are two ordinary people who are not beastmasters next to Qiao Sang… Qu Zhuo’s mood at the moment is extremely heavy.

…

The sunlight shines on the scaly moths in the wall.

One of the scaly moths moved its antennae slightly and slowly opened its eyes.

As soon as Qiao Sang stepped out of the door, a feeling of uneasiness surged into her heart.

She turned her head and her eyes suddenly widened.

The scaly moths that were like specimens on the wall flapped their wings and swarmed out, while the quest issuer was still facing her, holding her daughter and waving goodbye, unaware of the danger behind her.

“Xunbao! Take them away!” Qiao Sang was filled with strong shock. She shouted loudly without any time to think.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

The next second, Maiya and the little girl disappeared.

Countless scaly moths flew out of the house and swallowed Qiao Sang.
