• Qiao Sang paid a three-tailed rodent for information, but Little Treasure's fake curse exposed that it had pointed in a random direction.
• Qiao Sang suggested using a Ghoul Vine Weng to search the Thirtieth District, but Pili Te said all local Ghoul Vine Weng tamers had accepted the rival group's mission.

• Qiao Sang and Pili Te returned to the ruins, where a Qing Lie Tongue called the Wild Pet Beasts back with its cry.
• Qiao Sang set up music and food for the gathered Wild Pet Beasts, then showed Doxidora Adney West's image and asked whether it had seen it.

Qiao Sang used Doxidora’s memories to confirm that Adney West had been in the area, and Pili Te summoned Newdikaka to search the Dense Forest. Newdikaka’s attempt to hypnotize the creatures reached Adney West, but its glowing, overheated flute broke the spell, leaving it alert and still hidden in the forest.

• Adney West’s flute grew hot and glowed red, breaking the hypnosis; Adney West looked toward the sky, then resumed eating a Tree Fruit.

After Newdikaka transferred the attacker away, flute music knocked everyone unconscious, and Adney West appeared and dragged Little Treasure into the forest.

• Pili Te explained that Newdikaka’s hypnosis should have forced Adney West out if it were still in the Dense Forest, while Qiao Sang suggested it might be an Emperor-level Pet Beast and they should search for it.
• Pili Te ordered Newdikaka to use Insight, provoking a massive, black-armored bird-like Pet Beast that attacked it.
• Pili Te commanded Newdikaka to transfer itself and the bird-like Pet Beast away, then proposed entering the forest to search for Adney West.

• Qiao Sang and Pili Te agreed to search the cave with Lu Xiu Ma Er and Aogefu, and Aogefu summoned Light Tooth Mu to illuminate the way.
• Pili Te learned that Lu Xiu Ma Er could not contract Adney West and suspected he wanted it to predict his Pet Beast’s evolution; Qiao Sang worried Aogefu might still seek a contract.

She sent Teacher Pili Te a warning and headed for the airport, planning to return to the First District, but wild Pet Beasts still threatened to slow them down.

• The Fa Miao Moth’s cries made Aogefu suspect Adney West was near Teacher Pili Te, but he persuaded Qiao Sang to search the forest with him instead of returning.

• Qiao Sang recalled Little Treasure into her Pet Beast Codex, prompting the two young men to abandon their plan to target the Ghost Ring King.
• The young men went to inspect the flight area and saw airport Pet Beasts stop a scaled rat-like Wild Pet Beast from attacking a plane.
• After counting several high-level Pet Beasts guarding the planes, the men returned to the restroom and decided to separate Qiao Sang from her Pet Beasts and capture her.
• The young men discovered Qiao Sang was no longer in her seat and asked an airport staff member where she had gone.
• The staff member told them Qiao Sang had gone to rest in the VIP Room.

• Qiao Sang asked Heidi to send her information on the other five people.
