Chapter 1154: Development of Shadow Penetration (2-in-1)

Chapter 1149: The Development of Shadow Penetration (Two-in-One)

The Slag Ice Spirit was gone, but the Barrier it cast remained, and most importantly, this Barrier could actually float in the air.

She knew a little about Pets disappearing and their skills remaining, but she had never heard of an Ice-type skill that could float in the air after the Pet disappeared.

What kind of skill was this exactly? Qiao Sang pondered for a while, and after realizing there were no similar skills in her mind, she collected her thoughts and said, “Break it.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao raised its paw, and a dense white light instantly condensed, striking the Barrier fiercely.

The Ice Barrier was undamaged, not even a single crack.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao cried out, indicating that the Ice was very hard.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang frowned slightly, then remembered something and looked up.

The sky was dim at this moment, and the lightning was much less than before, but it was still continuously descending.

The translucent protective Barrier had disappeared with Pen Jiami’s departure.

“Boom!”

A thick yellow lightning bolt struck the Ice Barrier, but it only chipped off some Ice, showing no signs of breaking.

The remaining Pets in the sea poked their heads out, glaring at the high sky, no longer attacking.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao cried out, opening its mouth, and terrifying Fire energy condensed within it.

“Don’t attack,” Qiao Sang stopped it in time.

“Ya?”

Ya Bao closed its mouth, showing a puzzled expression, and cried out.

Qiao Sang explained, “This Ice Barrier was cast by the Slag Ice Spirit. We probably can’t destroy an Emperor-grade Pet’s defensive skill right now. If we forcefully attack the Barrier and the skill explodes inside the Barrier, we might get injured inside.”

“Now that the Slag Ice Spirit has been moved away by Pen Jiami, it can’t do anything to us at the moment. From another perspective, we are actually safe in here right now.”

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King, outside the Barrier, heard this and let out a confident cry, indicating that with him around, they would definitely be safe even if they came out.

As he spoke, he raised his paw, condensed a silvery-white light, and fiercely slashed at the Barrier.

“Sizzle sizzle…”

Like scratching on an incredibly hard crystal, the Dragon’s Claw did not break the Ice Barrier, only leaving a few claw marks.

Dragon King fell silent.

Sure enough… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Even if Dragon King was Emperor-grade, a Barrier left by an Emperor-grade Pet was not so easily broken.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao glanced at the claw marks, then turned its head and cried out, indicating what should they do now?

Qiao Sang looked at it and said, “First, try if Space Movement can get you out.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao cried out, its eyes glowing blue.

Then the blue light disappeared, and it shook its head.

“Try Shadow Penetration again,” Qiao Sang said again.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao immediately activated its energy.

A black hole appeared out of nowhere.

Xiao Xunbao plunged into it.

The next second, a black hole appeared outside the Barrier.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao poked its head out, saw the scene outside, and cried out with a surprised expression.

The sky, at this very moment, let out a loud “boom.”

Xiao Xunbao was startled and quickly drilled back into the black hole.

At the same time, a black hole appeared inside the Barrier.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao drilled out of it, patted its chest with lingering fear, and cried out, indicating that its Yu Beast Master was absolutely right, it was indeed safer in here.

It seems this Barrier has a restrictive effect on Space Movement, but it doesn’t restrict Shadow Penetration… After Qiao Sang understood what was going on, she pondered for a moment and asked,

“Besides yourself, can you make other targets move through the black hole as well?”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then shook its head.

It hadn’t tried it.

Qiao Sang immediately said, “Then try it.”

She still remembered that the information she had found mentioned that when the proficiency of Shadow Penetration reached a certain level, it could not only transfer attacks through the black hole but also transfer any living creature.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded, then cast the black hole.

Qiao Sang put her hand into it.

Another black hole appeared out of nowhere outside the Barrier, but no hand emerged from it.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of “it seems it won’t work” and shook its head.

The black hole disappeared.

Qiao Sang said nothing, but rather her consciousness entered the yu beast codex, quickly flipped to Xiao Xunbao’s page, and frantically added points to the back of Shadow Penetration.

Before long, the proficiency of Shadow Penetration changed from Great Accomplishment to Perfection.

Qiao Sang’s consciousness returned to reality and said,

“Try again.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao cried out, activating its energy.

The black hole appeared again.

Qiao Sang put her hand in.

At the same time, a black hole appeared outside the Barrier.

Raindrops fell on her hand.

Qiao Sang felt the sudden coldness on her hand, was stunned for a moment, and looked outside the Barrier.

Only to see a slender hand emerge from the black hole outside the Barrier.

“Ya!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao showed excited expressions and cried out.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

After the excitement, Xiao Xunbao put its paws on its hips, raised its head, and showed a proud expression.

It was a genius.

It succeeded… Qiao Sang took a deep breath, calmed her accelerated heartbeat, and pulled her hand back.

The black hole disappeared.

It seems only a perfected Shadow Penetration can transfer living creatures. With this function, I can leave this Barrier with Ya Bao and the others at any time… But for now, only one hand has come out, so I still need to test it again… Thinking of this, Qiao Sang cautiously said,

“Try again. This time, Clear Treasure goes.”

Clear Treasure has the ability to float. If its entire body can successfully drill out, it won’t fall down outside.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao cried out and cast the black hole.

Clear Treasure obediently floated towards the black hole.

The next moment, a black hole also appeared outside the Barrier.

“Clear!”

Clear Treasure’s body floated out of the black hole. It saw the surrounding scene, its eyes lit up, and it happily cried out to its Yu Beast Master.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s heart finally settled down, and she said, “Come back first.”

Clear Treasure drilled into the black hole and returned to the Barrier.

Qiao Sang didn’t waste any more time and said,

“Quick, now that the Slag Ice Spirit is not here and these Pets can’t attack us, it’s a good opportunity to get the ice wane crystal.”

After a pause, she added, “Leave the Substitute behind.”

If something happened outside while Xiao Xunbao was getting the ice wane crystal, the Substitute could help with the transfer.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao understood its Yu Beast Master’s meaning, its eyes lit up, and it activated its energy.

An identical Night Ring King immediately appeared next to it.

Immediately after, a black hole appeared out of nowhere.

Just as Xiao Xunbao was about to drill into the black hole, it suddenly stopped, turned its head, and cried out:

“Xiao Xunbao?”

What about those Ice sculptures?

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then said, “Take as much as you can before the Slag Ice Spirit comes back.”

Meaning, take the Ice sculptures too.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao showed a serious expression, cried out, then turned its head, took a deep breath, puffed out its cheeks, and unhesitatingly drilled into the black hole.

…

Underwater.

Xiao Xunbao, with puffed cheeks, furiously drilled out of the black hole.

The few Slag Water Mares that were there earlier were not in the seabed at this moment.

Xiao Xunbao looked around, and after finding no Pets around, its momentum deflated.

Then it glanced at the crystal mountains piled up next to it and the thousands of Ice sculptures in front, remembered its Yu Beast Master’s words, took off the rings on its ears, paws, and neck, and threw them upwards.

Five golden rings instantly formed a circle, floating in the air, slowly growing larger until each ring reached about ten meters in diameter before finally stopping.

Xiao Xunbao teleported above the rings, its eyes glowing blue.

At the same time, the crystal mountains piled up around it and the thousands of Ice sculptures were controlled by an invisible force, all floating towards the direction of the five rings, entering them.

…

High in the sky.

“Ting Ting!”

Electric arcs crackled around Ting Bao, striking the surrounding Barrier.

The thunder from the sky couldn’t break this Barrier, how could your little electric arcs possibly work… Qiao Sang internally complained, then said,

“Stop striking, save some energy. We are safe here for a short time.”

“Ting Ting…”

Ting Bao stopped discharging.

Suddenly, the seawater continuously churned, and then, with a loud bang, it violently exploded.

Several Pets with several white stripes on their bodies emerged from the water.

Slag Water Mares… With just one glance, Qiao Sang recognized the Pets below.

“Slag Slag!”

“Slag Slag!”

Several Slag Water Mares looked upwards and roared simultaneously.

Invisible sound waves rippled out.

“Slag Slag!”

Immediately after, a furious roar came from afar.

Qiao Sang’s face changed slightly.

That tone, that aura, it was clearly the voice of the Slag Ice Spirit.

Did Pen Jiami not take the Slag Ice Spirit very far away? Its voice could actually be heard here…

As thoughts flashed, a strong sense of weightlessness came, accompanied by the strong sound of wind in her ears, and the cries of Clear Treasure and Ting Bao.

The entire Ice Barrier was falling at high speed.

A white light flashed.

Dragon King used its back to carry the entire Barrier.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King showed an expression of “with me, there’s no accident,” a smirk on its face, and let out a cool cry backwards.

However, the moment it turned its head, it saw that there was no one or any beast inside the Barrier, and its body trembled, showing a stunned expression, and it cried out in surprise:

“Mog Mog?!”

Where are the people?!

Dozens of meters away, a black hole appeared out of nowhere.

Ya Bao emerged from it, carrying Qiao Sang and Loo Bao.

“Mog Mog…”

Dragon King breathed a sigh of relief.

So, they were here…

With that said, it turned its body sideways and disdainfully threw the giant Barrier into the sea.

Luckily, I had the foresight to have Xiao Xunbao leave a Substitute… Qiao Sang turned to the Substitute and praised,

“Well done.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

The Substitute cried out, indicating it was basic operation.

Qiao Sang looked at the few Slag Water Mares below.

The few Slag Water Mares showed stunned expressions, obviously not expecting that someone and Pets could escape from the Ice Barrier.

“Mars Rain,” Qiao Sang said slowly.

These Water-type and Ice-type Pets kept emerging from the sea, besides Water Howl Turtle, Sea Thunder Beast, Poisonous Trash Thorn Horse, and these few Slag Water Mares, there might be many other Water-type Pets ambushing below.

The best way to quickly resolve this battle was to blast them all out at once.

Ya Bao said nothing, raised its head slightly, opened its mouth, and a red Energy Ball containing destructive aura transformed into a magnificent beam of fire from its mouth, rising into the high sky.

It exploded with a “bang.”

Fire rain fell.

The dim sky was instantly illuminated crimson.

“Bang bang bang!”

Countless fire rain fell into the sea, blasting the seawater, and water splashed high.

The Pets in the sea screamed in agony, some dove into the sea, but the ones who just dove into the sea were still quickly blasted out by the fire rain.

Qiao Sang then thought of something, looked at Ting Bao, and said,

“Discharge into the sea.”

“Ting Ting…”

Ting Bao didn’t think it could do much, but it still followed its Yu Beast Master’s command, and yellow electric arcs appeared on its body, continuously striking the sea.

The tiny yellow electric arcs, upon contact with Pets covered in water, suddenly amplified their power, shocking many Pets into various chaotic cries.

Before long, one by one, wild Pets fainted in the sea.

Among them were some species that had not appeared before.

After the fire rain ceased, the Pets in the sea were mostly unconscious. The Water Howl Turtle, covered in injuries, poked its head out of its shell, glared hatefully at the high sky, then plunged into the sea and disappeared.

Just as Qiao Sang thought it was mostly resolved, suddenly, countless water droplets like bullets poured out of the sea without warning.

The explosive force was so strong that it reached a height of several hundred meters in an instant.

“Clear!”

Clear Treasure puffed out its cheeks, and an unusual Wind instantly swept from around its body towards the descending water droplets.

However, the water droplets’ offensive was too fierce, seemingly unaffected by the wind, and continued to rush upwards rapidly.

In an instant, countless water droplets arrived within three meters of Ya Bao.

Clear Treasure’s pupils contracted slightly.

But at this moment, a strong Typhoon suddenly swept up, instantly blowing away the attacking water droplets, scattering them.

Clear Treasure was stunned for a moment, then turned to look.

“Steel Treasure.”

Steel Treasure flapped its wings and cried out to it.

“Clear!”

Clear Treasure showed a serious expression, cried out, and then transformed into Wind Transformation, merging into the Typhoon.

The wind instantly became spiritual, swirling and blowing all the upward-moving water droplets downwards.

The water droplets fell into the water, splashing up water flowers.

The next moment, a blue glow erupted, and a thick blue beam of light churned straight up from the sea, rushing into the high sky.

Its speed was so fast that it reached below Ya Bao without even a blink of an eye.

At the same time, a deep black hole tore through space, appearing without warning where the beam of light passed.

The blue beam of light completely disappeared into it, as if it had never appeared.

The black hole slowly closed.

On Ya Bao’s back, the Substitute disappeared.

Immediately after, a black hole appeared, and Xiao Xunbao emerged from it.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao looked at the sea and cried out, indicating why they were fighting again.

Qiao Sang didn’t answer, but instead asked, “Did you get it?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded.

It had taken all the ice wane crystal from the seabed, but it didn’t know if there were any SS-grade ones inside.

Qiao Sang was pleasantly surprised and said, “Let’s go first.”

There were clearly powerful Pets in this sea, and since she had the item, there was no need for her to stay and face unknown dangers.

Dragon King: “???”

Was it not waiting for its Yu Beast Master?

Then Dragon King remembered Mi Jiala abandoning him, and his hesitation immediately dissipated.

If they don’t wait, then don’t wait!

“Mog Mog!”

Dragon King let out a loud cry.

I’ll protect you as you leave!
