Chapter 1155: Defrosting (2 in 1)

Chapter 1150: Thawing (Two-in-One)

With that, Dragon King spread his wings with an imposing aura.

However, before he could make a move, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

The next second, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao disappeared from their original spot.

At the same time, the seawater surged wildly, then exploded, and a huge Pet head emerged from the water. It had slimy blue skin, two white fins extending backward from its head, and two white lines at each corner of its eyes.

If there were a Yu Beast Master here, they would recognize this as the Emperor-level Pet Slag Hector.

“Slag.”

Slag Hector glanced around in the air, then dived back into the sea.

The sea surface quickly returned to calm, with only various unconscious Pets floating on the surface, indicating that a major battle had taken place here not long ago.

…

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air on an island.

The Ice Pets resting nearby were startled and scattered, fleeing in all directions.

Qiao Sang looked into the distance and found that the coastline was no longer visible. She pricked up her ears and could not hear any sounds of fighting. She instantly had a rough idea, realizing that Xiao Xunbao must have moved to another island, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

If Slag Ice Spirit were an Emperor-level Flying-type or Superpower System Pet, she might still be worried that it would catch up quickly, but Slag Ice Spirit was Ice, and usually lived on the seabed, rarely moving onto land. Its subordinate Pets all seemed to be active in the sea, so as long as she didn’t get close to the coast, she should be safe.

“Shasha?”

As thoughts flickered, Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s head poked out from the coat, revealing a worried expression, and she called out, asking what to do about that human.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King called out with full trust, indicating, “You don’t have to worry, she’s very strong. Dealing with just one Slag Ice Spirit is no problem at all.”

“Shasha.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala showed an expression of “Then I’m relieved.”

Under Steel Treasure’s translation, Qiao Sang understood the conversation between Colored Flower Bud Shalala and Dragon King. She then remembered Mi Jiala, her teacher, and pulled out her phone.

Just as she was about to dial, she thought of something else, closed the call interface, and opened the chat application.

Teacher Mi Jiala was currently fighting Slag Ice Spirit. Calling her might affect her, so sending a message would be better. That way, after she finished fighting Slag Ice Spirit, she could see it when she wanted to contact herself.

【Teacher, I have safely left Bingnan Island and am waiting for you at the guesthouse.】

After sending, Qiao Sang put away her phone, looked at Xiao Xunbao, and said:

“Take out all the ice wane crystals you found.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded and took off the rings on its claws, ears, and neck, throwing them into the air.

Five golden-yellow rings floated in the air, slowly growing larger until they reached a width of about ten meters.

Immediately after, Xiao Xunbao burrowed into one of the rings.

Before long, crystals kept falling down.

In a short while, they piled up into a small mountain.

So many… Qiao Sang’s eyes brightened from faint to dazzling.

She was sharp-eyed and recognized that among these crystals, besides ice wane crystals, there were many other Ice and Water-type materials.

For instance, the Water Essence Stone and ice soul among them were extremely rare Water-type and Ice materials.

Water Essence Stone can increase the Water-type talent of Water-type Pets, allowing them to absorb Water-type energy better. It is said that a Water-type Pet that once used Water Essence Stone went from initially mediocre aptitude to advancing two levels in a year, which was nothing short of a miracle.

And then there’s ice soul, which is said to enhance the Ice-type talent of Ice Pets, and even has a certain chance to awaken the ice soul characteristic, making it truly an Ice-type treasure.

I didn’t expect Slag Ice Spirit’s territory to have so many good things… Qiao Sang was beaming with joy, unable to suppress her smile.

Suddenly, with a “clank,” an exquisite Ice sculpture fell from the ring.

Immediately after, the second, third… tenth… twentieth…

Qiao Sang’s smile slowly faded.

The falling Ice sculptures quickly filled the surroundings.

This was not over yet. Xiao Xunbao emerged from the first ring and then floated into the second ring.

Various Water-type and Ice materials, as well as Ice sculptures, continuously fell down again.

By the time all the Ice sculptures from the third ring had fallen, the surroundings were already full to the point of having no more space.

“Stop for now,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao stopped and called out, indicating that there were still many more in the remaining two rings.

Qiao Sang looked at the mountain of Ice sculptures piled around her, falling silent, her heart heavy.

Although she knew that Slag Ice Spirit liked to freeze people and Pets it liked to collect, she never thought the quantity would be so vast. The visual impact of seeing it with her own eyes was still too great for her.

If only I had an Emperor-level Pet…

“Ya!”

Just as she was thinking, Ya Bao called out, asking if it needed to breathe fire to thaw them.

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, just about to answer.

Colored Flower Bud Shalala suddenly jumped out of the coat and came before an Ice sculpture, extending its claw to touch it.

A green light rippled from its fingertip.

“Shasha.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala turned its head and called out, indicating that they were still alive.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao heard this, showed an excited expression, and helped translate, “It says they’re still alive!”

Still alive? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly lighting up.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao’s spirits lifted, and it called out, indicating that it would rescue them now.

Saying that, it opened its mouth, ready to spew flames.

“Wait!” Qiao Sang stopped it.

“Ya?”

Ya Bao stopped its action and turned to look over.

Qiao Sang said, “Your flames are too powerful. If something goes wrong, you might hurt them.”

“Ya…”

Ya Bao remembered its flames, deeply agreed, and showed an expression of “What should I do then?”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating that it would do it.

Saying that, it raised its claw, and a white light condensed on it, striking the nearest Ice sculpture.

The Ice sculpture remained motionless, without even a single crack.

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

Qing Bao showed a mocking expression, but it quickly realized its Yu Beast Master was nearby and reined in its expression.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King saw this, pushed Xiao Xunbao aside, and called out, indicating, “You’re too weak, let me do it.”

With that, he raised his claw, and a silver-white light condensed on it.

Just as he was about to strike, Qiao Sang stopped him again:

“Wait.”

“Mog Mog?”

Dragon King turned to look over.

“You are so powerful, even a casual strike might hurt them,” Qiao Sang said.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King was very pleased to hear this, nodded, and showed an expression of “You have a point.”

“Lu Bao, you come,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Lu Bao.

“Ice Emperor?” Lu Bao showed an expression of “What should I do?” and called out.

“Absorb the Ice-type energy from these Ice sculptures,” Qiao Sang instructed.

If an Ice Pet’s condensed Ice-type skill is to be maintained for a long time, it must contain Ice-type energy. As long as the Ice-type energy within it is absorbed or disintegrated, the condensed Ice-type skill will naturally dissipate on its own.

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao showed a serious expression, nodded, and then placed its claw on the nearest Ice sculpture.

Instantly, a blue light rippled on the Ice sculpture, then gathered towards the claw.

Suddenly, with a “crack,” the Ice shell shattered and dissipated into Ice crystals.

A Pet about three meters tall, with a large flower bud on its back, lay on the ground.

“Lu Bao,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Ice Emperor.”

Without needing to say more, Lu Bao understood its Yu Beast Master’s meaning. It called out, and then the gem on its forehead glowed with a ghostly blue light, shining on the Pet with the large flower bud on its back.

“Zhi Zhi…”

After the light dissipated, the Pet with the large flower bud on its back slowly opened its eyes.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao’s eyes all lit up.

“Let’s continue!” Qiao Sang said, her voice slightly excited.

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao nodded, glanced at the surrounding Ice sculptures piled up, felt the arduousness of the task, and without further delay, placed its claw on another Ice sculpture.

“Zhi Zhi…”

The Pet with the large flower bud on its back showed a bewildered expression, looking around, seemingly still not reacting to what had happened or where it was.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao floated over, just about to activate its social mode.

Qiao Sang said from the side, “First, put these materials back.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao instantly stopped its social mode, its eyes glowing blue, controlling the piled-up crystals to return into the rings.

…

On the other side.

Mi Jiala and Pen Jiami transformed into an Ice sculpture, suspended in mid-air.

The cold air from Slag Ice Spirit spread out.

The next second, a giant Ice-blue ring suddenly appeared above Mi Jiala and Pen Jiami.

Immediately after, Ice Cones appeared below the ring, descending from the sky, rapidly attacking downwards.

At the critical moment, the Ice shells on Pen Jiami and Mi Jiala shattered with a “crack,” disappearing from their original spot and reappearing hundreds of meters away.

The Ice-blue ring disappeared.

Slag Ice Spirit circulated energy, preparing for the next wave of attack.

But just then, an invisible sound wave came.

“Slag!”

Slag Ice Spirit’s ears twitched, showing an enraged expression, roaring and calling out, turning to head towards the direction of the sea.

However, the next second, it foresaw something, and its body was suddenly enveloped by a Barrier filled with icy cold air.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, a thick white beam of light struck the Barrier.

The Barrier shattered with a crash.

Slag Ice Spirit looked up at the sky.

“Your opponent is me. Did I allow you to leave?” Mi Jiala said, looking down from above.

Slag Ice Spirit was so angry now, it must have discovered that Night Ring King had snuck into the seabed and was moving things. At this crucial moment, she absolutely could not let Slag Ice Spirit go back.

Otherwise, if Qiao Sang found out she hadn’t held back Slag Ice Spirit, where would her teacher’s dignity be?

“Slag!”

Slag Ice Spirit roared.

The temperature plummeted, and everything around was instantly covered in an Ice shell.

In the sky, Pen Jiami’s eyes glowed blue.

A great battle was about to erupt.

…

At the same time.

On the vast flat ground, the atmosphere was completely different.

Pets of various forms surrounded Qiao Sang and Ya Bao, with joyous laughter, and the years were peaceful and good.

“You all, please don’t crowd around for now. There are still many Pets that haven’t been thawed yet,” Qiao Sang said.

The Pets instantly obediently retreated backward, making space for Lu Bao.

Xiao Xunbao took out all the Ice sculptures from the remaining two rings.

Lu Bao placed its claw on them, thawing them one by one.

Xiao Xunbao had already activated its social mode by this time.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

It stood in the center of the Pets, vividly narrating how it had snuck into the seabed, battled Slag Ice Spirit and Slag Waterma, and rescued them.

The Pets listened, covering their mouths, constantly exclaiming in surprise, showing shocked and adoring expressions.

They couldn’t recognize Xiao Xunbao’s species, and they were indeed rescued, so not a single Pet doubted what Xiao Xunbao said.

As the Pets exclaimed, Xiao Xunbao’s back straightened more and more, and its head lifted higher and higher.

Qing Bao rolled its eyes nearby, but it didn’t expose some of Xiao Xunbao’s exaggerated claims.

I didn’t expect these Pets to still be alive… Qiao Sang looked at the Pets around her, who were regaining their spirits, feeling both joy and a longing for knowledge, wanting very much to understand what was going on.

Suddenly, she saw a frog-like Pet, about 80 centimeters tall, wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet and a white identity bracelet, largely light blue in color, with white gill flaps on both cheeks, and irregular blue crystals hanging from its neck. She was stunned for a moment.

Cool Frog? Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on the crystals around the frog-like Pet’s neck, and she instantly confirmed that the Pet in front of her must be the one lost by the guesthouse owner. She couldn’t help but call out in surprise:

“Cool Frog!”

“Cool cool?” Cool Frog looked over.

“Is your Yu Beast Master a guesthouse owner?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Cool cool.”

Cool Frog’s expression didn’t change much; it simply nodded factually.

“That’s great,” Qiao Sang said with a smile. “We’re staying at your Yu Beast Master’s guesthouse right now. He’s been looking for you and even reported it to the police.”

“Cool cool.”

Cool Frog called out, indicating, “He is my Yu Beast Master, this is what he should do.”

Indeed, the Pet lives up to its name, very cool… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said:

“You’ll come back with me then.”

“Cool cool.”

Cool Frog nodded.

The conversation ended there.

“Cool cool?”

After about five or six seconds, Cool Frog called out, asking if its Yu Beast Master was doing well.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure helped translate.

It seems Cool Frog isn’t entirely cool to the core… Qiao Sang replied, “He definitely wasn’t doing well when you went missing, but he should be fine once you go back.”

Cool Frog fell silent, its expression still cool, not knowing what it was thinking.

After about half an hour, all the Pets that had been turned into Ice sculptures were rescued.

Lu Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Sang looked around at the surrounding Pets and said:

“Since it’s safe now, everyone should go back quickly.”

The Pets looked at each other and all started calling out.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao helped translate.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “You mean you can’t sense your Yu Beast Master’s location, and you don’t know how to get back?”

The Pets nodded.

That’s true, not all Yu Beast Masters and Pets have a long-range connection… Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then asked:

“Then should I send you to the police station?”

The Pets nodded.

Qiao Sang pulled out her phone and opened the police station’s navigation.

At the same time, she felt like she had forgotten something.

Never mind, don’t think about it for now. The most important thing now is to send all these Pets over… Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, put the navigated location in front of Xiao Xunbao, and said:

“We’re going here.”

“Mog Mog…”

Dragon King looked up at the sky, showing an unhappy expression.

Why hadn’t his Yu Beast Master come over yet? She was moving too slowly.

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue. After confirming the location, it circulated energy.

The next second, Qiao Sang and the group of Pets disappeared from their original spot.
