Yaobao’s magnificent figure stood proudly amid the flames.
Qi Yunla stopped channeling energy and stared at the fiery figure in front of her in shock, then her eyes suddenly brimmed with tears.
Zhang Rongtang frowned impatiently as he looked at the Flame Listening Dog before him, whose aura and state had completely changed from before.
So tenacious with its blazing trait.
"Old Hu, dark..." Zhang Rongtang was just about to command Hu Shuo’s evil spirit to attack when he was interrupted by a girl’s voice:
"Wu Chang, hand over Qi Yunla."
Zhang Rongtang was stunned for a moment, then he immediately realized something and turned sharply to the side, only to find that the girl who had just collapsed had already stood up!
This truly baffled him.
How did the effects of Hu Shuo’s evil spirit’s hypnotism become so short-lived?!
To break free from hypnotism quickly, there must be either strong external interruptions or one’s own spiritual power must be incredibly strong.
A child still in school hardly seemed to possess such powerful spiritual powers!
Time rewound to one minute ago.
Yaobao was sent flying to the foot of a large tree, and Xiao Xunbao was still falling through the air. Qi Yunla called out several times, unleashing invisible sound waves that washed over Qiao Sang, Yaobao, and Xiao Xunbao.
Once the air’s minute tremors had settled, a double-headed black crow happened to pass beneath Xiao Xunbao, flapping its wings, just as Xiao Xunbao was falling straight down onto it.
The double-headed black crow shook its head and, looking down, saw the nocturnally obscured culprit.
Xiao Xunbao was still tumbling downward at this moment.
As a Pet Beast with extremely strong retaliatory instincts of the evil series, the double-headed black crow couldn’t take this lying down.
It flapped its wings hard to pick up speed and reach Xiao Xunbao’s side, then stretched out its claws and gave a forceful kick to Xiao Xunbao’s face before flying away satisfied.
That very kick altered Xiao Xunbao’s falling direction and speed, and by a stroke of luck, it ended up crashing right into Qiao Sang’s face.
Qiao Sang woke up from the pain.
And that led to the scene that had just unfolded.
Wu Chang came back to his senses and stared blankly at the girl in front of him, not having expected that Qiao Sang, after being attacked, would still choose to protect Qi Yunla.
"Quick, give it to me!" Seeing that Wu Chang hadn’t moved even at a time , Qiao Sang felt compelled to speak up once more.
"Yun yun!" Qi Yunla patted the device with her paw, also urging Wu Chang to hurry up.
Although Wu Chang was kind, he was too weak!
It was safer to stay next to the hero’s Beast Tamer.
Wu Chang came to his senses, said nothing, and handed over the device containing Qi Yunla.
If there were still people in the world worth trusting, he thought Qiao Sang was one of them.
Qiao Sang quickly received the device and called out, "Yaobao!"
Yaobao’s figure flashed and instantly teleported beside his own Beast Tamer.
Qiao Sang vaulted onto Yaobao’s back.
As if anticipating his Beast Tamer’s move, a second before Qiao Sang vaulted on, the flames on Yaobao’s body completely extinguished.
"Let’s go!" Qiao Sang shouted.
Yaobao ran towards the sky.
"Pursue!" Zhang Rongtang’s face turned ugly, and, mounting his robust Flying Owl, commanded.
Wu Chang looked blankly at the two figures chasing each other in the air. Just as he was confused about the situation and started to seriously doubt that he had trusted the wrong person again, a voice rang out from above:
"Stop dazing! Hurry up and call the police!"
Right! Call the police!
Wu Chang suddenly realized—Qiao Sang was drawing their fire!
With that understanding, he frantically pulled out his mobile phone and ran while dialing to a place with a signal.
Yaobao, having just activated the fierce fire, was moving so swiftly that the robust Rong Tang Flying Owl couldn’t catch up for a while.
But the energy gap between a mid-level Pet Beast and a General-level Pet Beast is as vast as the sky is from the earth. Even with the fierce fire’s boost, the Rong Tang Flying Owl was still much faster than Yaobao.
Seeing that the pursuer was about to catch up, Qiao Sang looked down and said, "We’ll stop here."
Without a second word, Yaobao ran downwards.
This was a desolate clearing. After landing, Qiao Sang did not choose to run. She knew she could only delay for a while; she couldn’t possibly escape.
The very moment Qiao Sang flipped off Yaobao’s back, Zhang Rongtang arrived.
"Did you think that by running here and telling Wu Chang to call the police, you could stop me?" Zhang Rongtang stepped down from the Rong Tang Flying Owl with a gloomy face.
How fast can the police be? By the time they get here, it would all be over.
The night was like water, cold wind blowing, and the surroundings had an air of desolation and bleakness.
"I never thought that would stop you." The bright moonlight broke through the clouds, shining downwards, as Qiao Sang calmly said, "I ran here only because I felt that fighting there would cause too much commotion and it’s not good."
What a joke, deliberately destroying someone else’s grave calls for a detention of at least five to ten days. In severe cases, it’s ten to fifteen days. How could she participate in the competition by then!
Zhang Rongtang was taken aback, then remembered they had just been in a graveyard.
His gaze shifted, not expecting the child before him to be so attentive and kind-hearted; it was a pity. If she hadn’t had the bad habit of being a busybody, he could have had a good conversation with her.
While Zhang Rongtang was reflecting, Qiao Sang quickly formed hand seals, and a green Star Array lit up in the darkness.
Lubao appeared within the Star Array.
The scene unfolding before him made Zhang Rongtang’s expression freeze.
To be competing with Wu Chang meant she was a high school senior.
She had developed her brain domain to this extent in her senior year; the province actually had such an incredible genius?!
Zhang Rongtang was utterly shocked in that moment.
"Lubao, heal Xiao Xunbao first," Qiao Sang said as she placed the still unconscious Xiao Xunbao on the ground.
Lubao sensed the tense atmosphere as soon as it appeared and nodded solemnly. Then, the gemstone on its forehead shone with a blue light.
Although Zhang Rongtang did not recognize the Pet Beast before him, he knew clearly that it was being used for healing.
The Treasure-seeking Demon couldn’t cause much harm, but this Pet Beast skilled in healing was a bit troublesome.
In a fight, you take out the healer first; that’s a universal truth.
"Just finish this," Zhang Rongtang made hand seals, summoning the speaking imp and the nonsense spirit that were just retracted into the Beast Taming Codex because of the flight.
The eyes of Biao Mumu turned blue, and a blue blade like a scythe, about a meter long, quickly solidified.
Illusion Slash, a high-level Skill, is a Psychic Series single-target ranged attack ability. As long as it hits, the damage will burst instantly, with tremendous power.
At the same time, the nonsense spirit extended its claws, and each short toe flicked, producing several spheres emitting eerie purple light, each no bigger than a bullet head, emerging in front of each short toe.
Disaster Shadow Bullet, a high-level Spectral Series Skill with such high speed that the naked eye can’t keep up and with extreme penetration power, causing great damage to the target.
