The ultimate purpose of coming back to her hometown this summer vacation was to help the Fire Fang Dog train and evolve.
Finding some Wild Pet Beasts in her hometown to fight was originally part of its training.
The place Qiao Sang liked best was the small woodland near Tan'an Township.
The mountain required climbing and was troublesome, while the small woodland near Tan'an Township was on flat ground, making the trip there and back easy.
But since they were already at the foot of Huangming Mountain this time, she decided to go up and find some Wild Pet Beasts to train against.
On Huangming Mountain.
Qiao Sang warily observed her surroundings.
Although this wasn't a secret realm, and high-level wild Extraordinary Creatures couldn't possibly appear here, the necessary safety precautions still had to be taken.
When in an environment with Wild Pet Beasts, carelessness was the greatest taboo.
The mountain path wound on and on. Qiao Sang walked along the narrow trail, with the Fire Fang Dog and Magnetic Fierce Rat clearing the way ahead.
The surroundings were unnaturally quiet. After walking for dozens of minutes, they hadn't seen a single Wild Pet Beast.
Qiao Sang shifted her gaze to the Magnetic Fierce Rat leading the way in front.
It wasn't as if there weren't any Wild Pet Beasts at all...
The Magnetic Fierce Rat shuddered, inexplicably feeling a chill.
Ten minutes later.
Qiao Sang finally spotted the first Wild Pet Beast—a Saddle Velvet Worm.
Its brown body was covered by a yellowish-green vest, making it look like a saddle. Its saddle-like body was covered in fine white fuzz.
"Ya Bao!" Qiao Sang immediately called out.
"Yah!"
The Fire Fang Dog promptly stopped and assumed a fighting stance. The Magnetic Fierce Rat jumped in fright and stopped as well.
