Chapter 1149: Ask for leave

Chapter 1144: We Can Go Down

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao looked over in unison.

The next second, Ya Bao teleported next to the Snowdrift Lion.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao helped translate.

It said it found the location of the ice wane crystal.

Although Xiao Xunbao’s hearing wasn’t as good as Ya Bao’s, it was already General-level after all, so even though it was high in the sky earlier, it still clearly heard what the Snowdrift Lion said.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Didn’t you get affected by such a big commotion just now?”

It actually succeeded in finding the ice wane crystal.

She didn’t voice the latter half of the sentence, because it sounded a bit like a question of doubt, and she was afraid of hurting the feelings of this Pet that had just found her an S-grade ice wane crystal not long ago.

“Piao Piao.”

The Snowdrift Lion let out a cry, revealing a mix of fear and relief.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao imitated the Snowdrift Lion’s expression and translated.

It said it felt the movement of the seawater, but it quickly dove to the bottom of the sea, so it wasn’t greatly affected. It also successfully found a place with ice wane crystal. It should have come out earlier, but at that time the sea surface was very turbulent and there were terrifying Pets, so it waited until now to come out.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang felt it was reasonable, and then joy surged within her. She first praised it: “You’ve really worked hard.”

Then she eagerly asked: “Where is the exact location?”

“Piao Piao.” The Snowdrift Lion pointed to the other side of the sea and cried out.

Qiao Sang was a little surprised: “That far?”

The direction the Snowdrift Lion pointed to earlier was clearly nearby. Even if it pointed to the wrong location, the distance shouldn’t be so different.

“Piao Piao.”

The Snowdrift Lion let out a cry.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao translated simultaneously.

It said that might be another location with ice wane crystal, because it didn’t see a Star Pincer Dragon there.

After hearing this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask: “Since there’s no Star Pincer Dragon, why didn’t you just bring the ice wane crystal directly?”

The Snowdrift Lion’s body stiffened slightly, then returned to normal. It sighed and let out a cry:

“Piao Piao…”

Although there was no Star Pincer Dragon, it saw a few Slag Water Marbles there and felt that it might be the Slag Ice Spirit’s territory, so it was a bit hesitant.

The Slag Ice Spirit is no secret on Wanbing Island. People from other places can find out by simply searching online, let alone Pets living here.

Qiao Sang wasn’t particularly surprised that the Snowdrift Lion knew about the Slag Ice Spirit being here.

Slag Water Marbles, the General-level form of the Slag Ice Spirit. The Slag Ice Spirit species is not numerous, and they basically all live in the same area. Where there are Slag Water Marbles, the Slag Ice Spirit is likely nearby. This is also common knowledge.

What a pity. Just now, the Slag Ice Spirit was fighting Pen Jiami. At that time, the Snowdrift Lion had a very high chance of taking the ice wane crystal opportunistically… Qiao Sang felt a slight regret, and subconsciously turned to look at Teacher Mi Jiala, who had just descended from the sky, and asked:

“The ice wane crystal might be in the Slag Ice Spirit’s territory. Should we go?”

Mi Jiala pondered the Slag Ice Spirit’s combat level from earlier, then nodded: “Go.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang immediately looked at the Snowdrift Lion and said: “Then I’ll trouble you to lead the way.”

“Piao Piao.”

The Snowdrift Lion nodded, jumped into the sea, and swam forward.

“Mog, Mog Mog.”

Dragon King remembered something, showed a serious expression, and cried out, indicating that he would protect Colored Flower Bud Shalala and Fresh Fresh Grass well on the shore.

Colored Flower Bud Shalala showed a worried expression.

It also really wanted to go, but it felt that if it went, it would probably just cause trouble, otherwise Qiao Sang wouldn’t have left it behind.

Mi Jiala glanced at Dragon King and said:

“No need to stay on the shore. You and Fresh Fresh Grass follow along.”

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King frowned and cried out.

But Qiao Sang told him to stay and protect Fresh Fresh Grass.

Who exactly is your Yu Beast Master… Mi Jiala’s mouth twitched slightly.

Just as she was about to say something, Qiao Sang spoke from the side: “Earlier, the Slag Ice Spirit didn’t show up, and we weren’t sure if it was here. Now that the Slag Ice Spirit has appeared, it’s hard to guarantee that it won’t return. It’s safer for us to act together.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s eyes lit up.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King felt it made a lot of sense and nodded.

Mi Jiala: “…”

Calm down, calm down, my Pet, my Pet… Mi Jiala chanted inwardly.

“Piao Piao?”

The Snowdrift Lion in the sea stopped moving, turned its head, and showed a puzzled expression, letting out a cry.

Even without translation, Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala understood what it meant.

Mi Jiala’s heart had already returned to calm, and she said:

“Let’s go.”

Qiao Sang patted Ya Bao’s back.

Ya Bao understood its Yu Beast Master’s meaning, flapped its wings, and ran towards the surface of the sea.

Pen Jiami teleported to Ya Bao’s side.

Mi Jiala looked at Dragon King.

After all, they had lived together for nearly a hundred years, and even though they were separated for a long time later, Dragon King still understood its Yu Beast Master’s meaning.

“Mog Mog.”

He cried out with dissatisfaction, indicating that she herself could walk in the air.

Despite his words, Dragon King’s body slowly enlarged, stopping only when it reached about thirty meters.

Mi Jiala stepped into the air and came onto Dragon King’s back.

Dragon King flapped its wings and followed.

The Snowdrift Lion led the way in the sea, and the two of them followed closely in the air, riding on Ya Bao and Dragon King respectively.

After traveling for about twenty minutes, the Snowdrift Lion stopped and cried out:

“Piao Piao.”

They were now in the middle of the sea, with no icebergs in sight, only a few ice floes floating on the water.

Qiao Sang looked around and confirmed: “Is this the place?”

“Piao Piao.”

The Snowdrift Lion nodded.

“Xiao Xunbao.” Qiao Sang called out.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was first stunned, then its eyes lit up, showing an excited expression, followed by a blue light emanating from its eyes.

The next second, the seawater began to shake.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, and she stopped it: “Stop, stop, stop. What I meant was for you to control the Snowdrift Lion to come up first.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s expression turned to disappointment, and its gaze shifted to the Snowdrift Lion.

Under an invisible force, the Snowdrift Lion left the water and floated high in the air.

“Piao Piao…”

The Snowdrift Lion showed a nervous expression, and couldn’t help but swallow.

Leaving the water caused its sense of security to plummet.

After the Snowdrift Lion floated to a certain height, Mi Jiala signaled Pen Jiami with her eyes.

Pen Jiami’s eyes glowed blue as she looked at the sea surface.

In an instant, the seawater shook wildly, as if an invisible force was forcefully tearing it apart, standing like cliffs on both sides.

However, this time, the seawater did not quickly reach the bottom.

Pen Jiami increased her energy.

The force tearing the seawater intensified.

Looking down from the air, it already resembled a deep sea abyss.

Qiao Sang estimated that it looked to be several thousand meters deep, but it still hadn’t reached the true seabed.

After an unknown amount of time, the blue light in Pen Jiami’s eyes dissipated, and she shook her head:

“Pen Pen.”

Mi Jiala analyzed: “It seems the seabed here is at least ten thousand meters deep.”

At a depth of ten thousand meters, even Pen Jiami couldn’t completely tear it open at the moment.

The deeper the seawater, the higher the water pressure. The further down, even a few meters of depth would increase the difficulty of tearing with psychic power exponentially.

Qiao Sang understood Teacher Mi Jiala’s meaning, and couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, asking: “Then what do we do now?”

“Piao Piao.”

Before Mi Jiala could speak, the Snowdrift Lion cried out, indicating that they could go down.
