Chapter 214 The Ominous Premonition Came True! The Fragile Friendship Between Companions!

The place where Qiao Bai landed was a rather large square.

Under his feet was a patterned ground made of blue and red bricks.

In the center stood two male and female statues standing back to back, with their faces unclear.

Although he was stared at by countless eyes.

But Qiao Bai's eyes subconsciously swept over the tops of the two statues, which were about the same height as normal people.

I don't know if it was Qiao Bai's illusion.

Or maybe it was because of what Jianmu said just now, Qiao Bai always felt that the female statue should have a wreath on her head.

But there was no.

The top of the long hair was empty.

Nothing.

"How...how did you get in?"

Just when Qiao Bai was lost in thought, a trembling voice sounded next to him.

Qiao Bai finally realized what state he was in: "..."

Oh.

Qiao Bai raised his head with a little stiffness, and met those wolf-like eyes again.

Qiao Bai: "..."

At a glance.

Because of their attire and temperament, Qiao Bai can basically tell the difference between the locals and tourists in Wanmu City at a glance.

The tourists looked at him with more excitement and urgency.

It seemed that they wanted to know how he got in and whether they could leave here this way.

And the way the locals looked at him... It's hard to describe, it's more like seeing something incredible.

"Well..." Qiao Bai pondered for a moment: "I am a relevant person from the NY City Beast Taming Alliance. I found that there seemed to be a special situation in Wanmu City, so I came to see what was going on."

Qiao Bai nodded seriously.

Although Qiao Bai was wearing a mask on his face and a baseball cap on his head, his voice sounded a little young.

But Qiao Bai said it very calmly and confidently.

None of the tourists doubted it.

At most, there were three or two people who thought that Qiao Bai wearing a mask looked a little familiar.

"Great, comrade!" Immediately, an old lady waved her hands excitedly from the crowd and asked loudly in the direction of Qiao Bai.

"Did the alliance say when they could rescue us?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

After the old lady spoke, the surrounding tourists also echoed.

When can we get out?

This is the issue they care about most!

"Don't worry, everyone, wait a little longer." Since Qiao Bai dared to say this, he was naturally prepared.

"I communicated with the alliance when I came in. As long as I lose contact for more than 24 hours, they will immediately send a large number of people to come."

"I am the first to come."

The tourists still have many questions, and they are noisy.

But overall everyone is relieved.

Good, good.

As long as the outside world knows their current situation.

Knowing that they are trapped here.

Instead of staying here voluntarily, that's enough!

Qiao Bai comforted the tourists, and his eyes fell on the locals.

Different from the "saved" expressions of the tourists.

The expressions of the locals were still quite solemn.

Suspicious eyes also passed through Qiao Bai from time to time.

Qiao Bai smiled.

It seemed that he really had no purpose, knew nothing about the truth, and came simply as a vanguard.

"By the way, do you know Professor Zhou Xinran?" Qiao Bai asked a young man beside him casually.

"Their school has entrusted our alliance."

In front of so many people, Qiao Bai was cautious and did not directly say the relationship between him and Zhou Xinran.

However, when Qiao Bai said Zhou Xinran's name.

The expression of the young man gradually became hesitant.

The locals of Wanmu City who were closest to Qiao Bai seemed to have heard something and looked towards Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai's heart "stomped".

I vaguely had a bad premonition.

No?

What does this look mean?

Before Qiao Bai could think hard.

Someone took the initiative to give the answer.

"What professors do you know?" A middle-aged man with a rough look and a thick beard on his face, who only needed a shotgun to perfectly cosplay as a hunter, walked towards Qiao Bai.

His low voice and tall stature made Qiao Bai's surroundings suddenly quiet.

Qiao Bai realized that the situation seemed to be a little worse than he thought.

Smiled slightly.

"That depends on your definition of knowing." Qiao Bai shrugged calmly, looking directly into the eyes of the middle-aged bearded man without fear.

"NY City is not far from Bluebird University, and people in our alliance have heard of Professor Zhou."

"When Bluebird University knew we were coming to Wanmu City, they specifically asked us to contact and protect Professor Zhou."

"That's it."

Qiao Bai spread his hands and looked very honest.

The middle-aged bearded man stared at Qiao Bai with sharp eyes for a minute, and finally slowly looked away.

"If you don't know him, don't ask too much."

Qiao Bai's eyebrows jumped.

The bad premonition came true.

He didn't want to offend these people, but it didn't mean he was afraid of offending them.

"Why can't I ask?" Qiao Bai continued in the horrified eyes of the young man next to him.

"Professor Zhou is a famous pet research professor at Bluebird University, and also a well-known professor in Jinyang City and NY City. We have the need and obligation to protect her safety."

"It was you, Wanmu City, who invited the professor to participate in the event as a judge."

"Now the professor is missing, shouldn't you give a reasonable explanation?"

Qiao Bai's main character is straightforward and fearless.

Listening to Qiao Bai's words, the expression on the face of the middle-aged bearded man gradually became angry and impatient.

It was the young man next to him who was grateful to Qiao Bai for taking the lead as a staff member of the alliance to check their situation and act as a bridge between the two sides.

The young man pulled Qiao Bai's clothes and whispered: "Don't ask, it will not do you any good to annoy them at this time."

Qiao Bai did not speak

The middle-aged bearded man glanced at Qiao Bai and the young man, snorted heavily, and finally left without looking back.

Qiao Bai stared at his back until he disappeared.

Then Qiao Bai looked at the people around him.

There were no locals.

"What happened?" Qiao Bai asked in a low voice.

The young man also hurriedly looked around and pulled Qiao Bai to a circle full of tourists.

Amid everyone's happy discussion, the young man whispered to Qiao Bai:

"The Professor Zhou Xinran you are talking about is the youngest beautiful professor, right?"

The young man said with a look of deep impression of Zhou Xinran.

There is no way.

Among the old and middle-aged professors, Zhou Xinran's appearance and temperament are indeed particularly outstanding.

Qiao Bai nodded.

"What happened later?" Qiao Bai's voice also became smaller.

The young man looked around quickly again, and then quickly said in Qiao Bai's ear.

"They locked up all those professors."

Qiao Bai's face did not show too much shock.

How to say... It actually felt a little bit within his expectations.

"Do you know what the reason is."

The young man's expression suddenly became a little confused: "Ah... Ah... I don't know much about this?"

"Anyway..." The young man scratched his head with his backhand, and his expression was a little silly: "They just said that something was missing, and then all the professors were taken away together."

Qiao Bai: "..."

Understand.

The secret of the locals.

But Qiao Bai once again thought of the wreath first.

Why were the professors locked up?

The wreath disappeared.

Do the locals know the importance of the wreath?

Yes.

They don't think the disappearance of the wreath is caused by their own people.

Maybe because of some relationship.

They believe that the disappearance of the wreath is related to those foreign professors.

Everything can be explained.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai sighed deeply.

How to say it... It's just a headache.

Qiao Bai: "Why are you all gathered in this square."

"It's because everyone suddenly can't get out, and the road out of Wanmu City seems to have disappeared."

"Then... someone suggested that it would be safer for everyone to gather together?"

The young man spread his hands and said: "The largest place in Wanmu City that can accommodate the most people is this square."

So is there anything strange?

Anyway, the young man thinks it's quite natural.

"Then do you think there is anything different about this square from before."

"Ah?" The young man didn't seem to expect Qiao Bai to ask this kind of question.

However, out of trust in Qiao Bai's identity, the young man still answered honestly.

"Shouldn't there be any?"

The young man's expression was somewhat confused.

Different?

What's different?

The young man didn't feel anything at all.

Before Qiao Bai could ask anything else, an old lady next to the two men suddenly leaned over.

"Hey?"

"Hey, comrade, you want to ask what's changed here, right? I know!" The old lady didn't lower her voice.

Fortunately, the people around were quite lively, so it didn't attract extra attention.

"My husband and I took photos in this square as soon as we arrived!" The old lady took out her cell phone and clicked on a few photos.

She put the phone in front of Qiao Bai.

If Qiao Bai hadn't stepped back quickly, he might have been hit on the face.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Ahem.

This is not important.

Look at the photos.

Look at the photos quickly.

Very good.

The old lady and the old man went to take photos of the two statues in the square.

The original appearance of the statue was completely captured.

The male statue and the female statue each have a wreath on their heads.

The male statue is a wreath made of vines and leaves.

The female statue has a colorful wreath on its head.

Although the wreaths are of many colors, they are magically not discordant or messy at all, and even have a sense of beauty close to nature.

Words before Jianmu.

Qiao Bai can say it with certainty.

This wreath is what Jianmu said.

"You..." Qiao Bai took the aunt's mobile phone, looked at the photo on it, and was about to say something.

A dark figure suddenly fell from the top of Qiao Bai's head.

Qiao Bai was not so careless.

As soon as he looked up.

Qiao Bai saw a huge figure covering him.

It was a huge mushroom.

The shadow covering Qiao Bai was its umbrella cap.

Qiao Bai: "..."

The young man and the aunt next to him.

The two took a step back in unison.

The young man and the aunt looked at each other.

The aunt's hand was as fast as lightning, and she suddenly snatched her mobile phone back from Qiao Bai's hand.

Then she gave Qiao Bai a look that said "May you be blessed".

It's not that we don't help you.

It's really that we have the will but not the strength!

Qiao Bai, who put away the pet before coming in, said: "..."

What are you doing?

Threaten him with force?

The same thing.

Qiao Bai doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean Qiao Bai is afraid of trouble.

The next second.

Four pets appeared beside Qiao Bai in unison.

Flying, floating.

Running, entangled.

Familiar with the route, each doing their own job.

They won't disturb each other at all.

But now their most important task is to face the outside world in unison.

The targeted Umbrella Mushroom Beast: "..."

Scared.

It was still the one with the upper hand in the last second.

Without waiting for it to show off its power and complete the purpose of the beastmaster.

The next second.

Facing these four pets, the Umbrella Mushroom Beast immediately became timid.

Yes.

The Umbrella Mushroom Beast could feel the extremely dangerous aura from the four pets in front of it.

If the Umbrella Mushroom Beast was also a contracted pet.

Out of trust in the beastmaster.

The link of the contract.

As long as the opponent does not take action, the Umbrella Mushroom Beast will not run away.

But the relationship between the Umbrella Mushroom Beast and the person who controls it is not connected by a contract.

After sensing the dangerous aura of the four pets, the Umbrella Mushroom Beast instantly made a move that made everyone around it unbelievable-

Run!

Turn around and run!

Rushed directly into the invisible edge of the town!

Run out... The Umbrella Mushroom Beast knew that he would definitely not run away.

That's not important.

Just stay away from these four devils!

The person who controls the Umbrella Mushroom Beast: "..."

The Umbrella Mushroom...isn't it a Umbrella Mushroom as big as him?

Although in Wanmu City, ordinary people can also control beasts.

But this does not mean that controlling beasts does not cost anything, and you can easily control an extraordinary creature.

Choose the strongest extraordinary creature that can be controlled within the scope of personal ability.

The compatibility between the two parties.

The tacit understanding after getting along for a long time...

And so on.

These are also a very complicated link.

Every extraordinary creature that can be controlled is also a precious treasure for them.

But just run away like that?

Instantly.

The eyes of the mushroom beast rider looked at Qiao Bai differently. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was poisoned.

He winked at his companions.

Meaning that everyone should attack together.

Show this guy some color!

Companion: "..."

Can they choose to give up?

"What he said makes sense. He took the commission and came to find someone. Isn't it normal to inquire about the situation?"

"He should not be in the same group with those people. I think Aza, you think too much!"

As soon as this was said.

The others nodded repeatedly.

Yes, yes, yes.

That's what I mean.

Aza, the only one who lost the mushroom beast: "..."

Aza took a few deep breaths and reluctantly believed what his companions said.

Then...

He turned his head and saw Qiao Bai looking straight at him.

Qiao Bai:)
