Chapter 21 Eight-Tube Coral

```

"Hmph, I've reached my stop, can't be bothered to argue with you guys anymore," said the square-faced man before turning to get off the bus.

A young man standing to his right was holding a plastic bag.

The square-faced man pushed past the young man and hurried towards the rear door of the bus.

Qiao Sang noticed his hand brushed the young man's shoulder, not touching anywhere else, yet the plastic bag rustled.

"Fire-Toothed Dog, use 'Spark' at his waist," Qiao Sang commanded directly.

Fire-Toothed Dog was in a state of readiness to strike.

It was already annoyed with this human; had its Beast Tamer not held it back, it would have shown him all the skills it possessed.

With the command given, it gathered all the energy inside its body and shot it out with full force.

Normally, the spark the size of a baby's fist was now as big as an adult's palm.

"Oww!!!"

A sharp scream echoed throughout the bus.

Everyone on the bus jumped in fright, and passengers just stepping onto the front door were so scared they stepped back onto the platform.

"Driver, close the door!" Qiao Sang turned and shouted to the bus driver.

The driver saw what was happening inside the bus through the rearview mirror and was stunned for a moment.

Out of nowhere, a two-meter-long white hydra with eight tendrils appeared on the bus, and with its arrival, a pile of items fell from its tendrils with a rattle.

"Driver, close the door!" Seeing the driver hadn't reacted, Qiao Sang reminded him again.

"Oh, oh," the driver finally responded, fumbling to press the door control button.

With the doors closed, Qiao Sang's attention returned to the situation at hand.

What is this?

Although he had been brushing up on his knowledge fiercely, a poor student remained a poor student, and Qiao Sang could not recognize the extraordinary creature before him.

Qiao Sang turned to ask the female student, "What is this?"

"It's my phone!"

Qiao Sang: "..."

"And mine!"

"My ShaSha fruit!"

"The necklace I bought for my girlfriend is there too!"

"My height-increasing insoles!!!"

One by one, people on the bus excitedly claimed their belongings.

The square-faced man's complexion darkened as he watched everything unfold.

Everything had happened too suddenly. His eight-tentacled coral was injured, which prevented him from getting off the bus immediately, and now the door was closed, and all his stolen goods had fallen out.

It's all this woman's fault!

He glared at the girl with the Fire-Toothed Dog resentfully.

If it weren't for this dog and this girl, how could he have slipped up this time!

Now it was too late. Every passenger was watching him. If he tried to escape, he had to damage the bus, which would certainly cause injuries to the people aboard.

He understood the difference between the charges of theft and assault. The former would at most result in a fine and a month or two in jail, while the latter could meant several years, even decades.

His only option now was to stay put and wait for the police to come and arrest him.

Seeing that the square-faced man's expression had fallen, Qiao Sang stored away the extraordinary creature whose name she did not know, ready to surrender.

"Everyone, hold him down, don't let him escape!" Qiao Sang yelled.

She swung a fist at him, and the square-faced man instinctively stepped back. Thinking he was trying to flee, the crowd rushed forward and pinned him to the ground.

Someone blurted out first, "You dare hit someone?!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd became furious. He had the nerve to be so brazen after being caught stealing?

In an instant, a barrage of punches and kicks rained down on him.

```

"I didn't!" the square-faced man roared.

Regrettably, nobody listened to him, and his voice was soon drowned out by the sound of punches and kicks.

Qiao Sang contributed eighteen kicks herself before she sat down tiredly to the side.

After who knows how long, the crowd dispersed.

The man lay on the ground like a dead pig, face bruised and swollen, sporting a claw mark whose origin was unknown. His square face had turned into a steamed bun face, unrecognizable as his own.

The Fire-Toothed Dog squeezed out from the crowd, its pair of watery eyes blinking at Qiao Sang a couple of times.

The two shared a moment of mutual understanding with a glance and both smiled.

Someone had called the police, and the patrol car arrived quickly.

The three arriving officers could not readily confirm the man's identity due to his battered face, but luckily he still wore the Beast Tamer's badge on his chest.

The police scanned the badge for identification and confirmed the man's identity.

"Who found out he was stealing?" one of the officers asked.

"It was her!" The female student raised Qiao Sang's hand as she spoke up.

The other passengers all nodded in agreement.

The questioning officer approached Qiao Sang and said gently, "We need you to come with us to the police station to make a statement."

Qiao Sang hesitated, "My mom is waiting for me to have dinner at home."

The officer smiled, "It'll be quick, this is a good deed of bravery. Just call and tell your mom, she won't blame you."

Qiao Sang shook her head, refusing, "Everyone here is a witness. Call them instead, I really need to get home."

The officer continued, "This man is named Chen Jianhui, a habitual offender. We've had a reward out for his capture for quite some time now. Since you've found him, you should go claim the 50,000 Alliance Currency reward."

Qiao Sang was stunned, there was such a good thing?

She immediately said earnestly, "I must make a statement, when do we leave?"

The officer: "..."

Just as Qiao Sang was about to get into the police car, the female student tugged at her, "I'm called Bai Yunmiao, can I add you as a friend?"

"Of course." Qiao Sang smiled and took out her phone to add her.

...

...

By the time Qiao Sang got home, it was already 8:48 in the evening.

Luckily, she had called and asked the police to explain her whereabouts to her mother, so she returned home to a gentle welcome instead of reproach.

"You must be tired coming home so late, come and eat, I've just reheated everything in the pot."

Qiao Sang was already hungry, the five skewers of lamb she had eaten hours ago were not filling at all, and she began to eat ravenously at the dinner table.

"The Fire-Toothed Dog must be hungry too. Here, I specially made you a nutritious dinner," her mother said with a smile as she brought a plate of specially prepared energy meal to the Fire-Toothed Dog.

Qiao Sang suddenly found the food in her mouth tasteless, she stopped eating and looked over with concern.

The Fire-Toothed Dog, oblivious to Qiao Sang's gaze, yipped at the energy meal and began to eat happily.

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, glad that what she feared hadn't happened…

When she finished eating, she saw the Fire-Toothed Dog had already polished off the energy meal and was wagging its tail waiting for her.

Qiao Sang was somewhat surprised.

Was the Fire-Toothed Dog hungrier than usual?

Qiao Sang didn't dwell on it, she carried the Fire-Toothed Dog to her room and turned on the computer to search for the nameless Extraordinary Creature from the bus.

Since she didn't know the name, she could only search by its physical features.

[Does anyone know what the hidden white Extraordinary Creature with eight tentacles is called?]

There were millions of Extraordinary Creatures in the world, many sharing similar characteristics.

It took Qiao Sang over ten minutes of searching before she finally found the answer she was looking for.
