Chapter 1171: Yabao and Xiaoxunbao’s underground journey (Part 2)

Chapter 1166: Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao’s Underground Journey (Two-in-One)

What’s with this familiar scene… Qiao Sang paused for a moment and said, “It’s not an item; it’s my Pet.”

After speaking, she slightly raised her arm and, where others couldn’t see, poked her backpack with her finger.

Lu Bao in the backpack understood immediately.

The next second, the cold air suddenly dispersed.

The uncle, who was about to continue chatting and enjoying the coolness, felt the surrounding temperature and immediately lost the desire to stay, turning to leave.

If it were an Ice-type related item, he could buy a similar one, but there was no possibility of contracting another Ice-type Pet.

The people nearby also scattered silently.

Suddenly, a large empty space opened up around them.

“Ting Ting.”

Ting Bao raised its tail tip, poked the backpack, and called out, indicating that everyone had left and it could continue emitting cold air.

It realized that Lu Bao had restrained the cold air to make the surrounding humans and Pets disperse.

Lu Bao didn’t answer it, but only poked its head out of the backpack, looked around, then钻 back into the backpack, and silently emitted cold air again.

This time, the range of the cold air was much smaller, only covering the area where Qiao Sang and Ya Bao were, without spreading further.

It seems that in the future, when going out in Muzhou, Lu Bao’s cold air will need to be controlled, otherwise, if everyone gathers together, it will be difficult to talk about private topics… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

As thoughts flickered, Mi Jiala answered the previous question:

“The Fire Meteorite Pit in Muzhou was a hundred years ago. Besides the official surveys and explorations a hundred years ago, many professional exploration teams have come since then. Unless everyone who came here was a half-baked amateur, there’s no way there could still be tai yang jing (sun crystal) here.”

Meaning, there’s absolutely no possibility of tai yang jing (sun crystal) still existing here… Qiao Sang asked, “Then why did you agree to come here with me?”

Mi Jiala looked over and smiled:

“Isn’t this a tourist attraction? I thought it would be good to bring Fresh Fresh Grass to see it.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Xia Xia…”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala looked at the breathtaking scenery before her, and her eyes inexplicably showed a hint of sadness.

But it doesn’t like looking at these…

Pen Jiami admired the scenery before her, without speaking.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King looked at his Yu Beast Master with amusement, and for once, took the initiative to help translate.

It said it doesn’t like it here.

Mi Jiala: “…”

“I don’t think there’s anything good to see here either, so why don’t we just leave?” Mi Jiala said without changing her expression.

They just arrived a few minutes ago, and they’re already leaving? Qiao Sang was stunned.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure’s voice rang in her mind.

Colored Flower Bud Shalala said it doesn’t like looking at these; Dragon King just helped translate.

No wonder, I thought why they were leaving so soon after arriving…

“Xia Xia.”

Before Qiao Sang could speak, Colored Flower Bud Shalala looked at Mi Jiala and called out, indicating that they had just arrived, so why not stay a little longer.

Although it didn’t like the scenery here, it didn’t want everyone to come for nothing because of it.

Dragon King stopped translating.

Mi Jiala quickly gave Pen Jiami a look, signaling her to translate quickly.

“Pen Pen.”

Pen Jiami called out, helping to translate.

“Then we’ll stay a little longer.” Mi Jiala immediately said.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Even if Steel Treasure hadn’t helped translate Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s words just now, she could guess what Colored Flower Bud Shalala said through Teacher Mi Jiala’s translation.

“If there’s no tai yang jing (sun crystal) here, why is the ground here consistently hotter than other places?” Qiao Sang asked her question.

Mi Jiala pondered for a moment, then asked in return, “You’re not thinking of going down to take a look, are you?”

“No thought of mine escapes your eyes.” Qiao Sang offered flattery at the right time.

Mi Jiala was quite pleased and said with a smile, “If I’m not mistaken, it’s probably because some Fire-type Pets live down there, which is why the temperature here is consistently different from the outside.”

Qiao Sang was stunned: “Doesn’t the official know about this situation?”

“They should know.” Mi Jiala said calmly, “However, the official wants to preserve this area. Fire-type Pets living down there, as long as an agreement is reached not to cause destruction, won’t have much impact on the scenery. On the contrary, it can increase the mystique of the Fire Meteorite Pit.”

“After all, this is a society where humans and Pets coexist.”

Qiao Sang felt a little disappointed upon hearing this.

She had thought there was a certain probability that tai yang jing (sun crystal) might still remain here, but she didn’t expect it was just Fire-type Pets living down there.

She had no doubts about Teacher Mi Jiala’s analysis. An S-Class Beast Master, and an honorary teacher of the Imperial Beast Academy, it was not at all surprising that she could see the problem at a glance.

“However, you can let Yan Jiaoou go down and take a look.” Mi Jiala continued.

“Look at what?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

Mi Jiala patiently explained: “Any group that lives in a place for a long time has a reason. These Fire-type Pets live down there, most likely because the Fire-type energy below is rich.”

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then asked directly:

“You want Ya Bao to go down and seize territory?”

“Ya!”

Ya Bao, listening to the conversation from the side, was first startled, then showed an eager and excited expression, calling out, indicating that it would definitely seize the territory.

Mi Jiala smiled slightly: “How can you say ‘seize territory’? I just want Yan Jiaoou to go down and take a look. This area in Muzhou is not marked as any Pet’s territory. If the Fire-type energy below is abundant, you can let Yan Jiaoou have a friendly exchange with the Fire-type Pets below, asking them to reserve a spot for Yan Jiaoou to stay for a period of time. I think they shouldn’t mind.”

On Yan Tian Star, if you want the other party to concede, the so-called friendly exchange is a battle.

Qiao Sang immediately understood what Teacher Mi Jiala meant, looked at Xiao Xunbao, and said:

“You take Ya Bao down to take a look.”

After speaking, she looked at Ya Bao and instructed: “First, feel the Fire-type energy inside. If you feel it’s not much better than absorbing it outside, just come out directly. If absorbing it inside can rapidly increase energy, then have a good discussion with the Fire-type Pets below and ask them to reserve a spot for you.”

She paused, then added: “Don’t battle down there; remember to arrange it outside, in another place.”

It’s just a reconnaissance, at most a challenge. There are tourists all around right now, and we have too many Pets, most of which are not found on Yan Tian Star. Many people and Pets are secretly looking over. If everyone suddenly disappears into the ground, it will definitely attract attention. It’s better to just let Ya Bao go down.

She wouldn’t feel at ease with Ya Bao going down alone, but with Xiao Xunbao accompanying it, Xiao Xunbao has high emotional intelligence, so she believes peacefully arranging a battle shouldn’t be a problem.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao showed a serious expression and nodded.

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao called out, then its eyes glowed blue as it began to pinpoint locations.

In an instant, the entire topography of the Fire Meteorite Pit appeared in its mind like a three-dimensional image.

Xiao Xunbao didn’t look much further, expanding its sensing range deeper.

Immediately after, the three-dimensional image instantly delved deep underground.

The deep underground was a fiery red, and the most conspicuous feature was a semi-circular cave.

Even though it wasn’t down there at the moment, Xiao Xunbao seemed to feel waves of scorching heat emanating from the deep cave entrance.

It confirmed the location, then disappeared from its original spot with Ya Bao.

To be cautious, Qiao Sang sensed the status of Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao, ensuring they wouldn’t encounter any problems down there.

At this moment, a duck-like Pet, over a meter tall, bipedal, predominantly white, with a woven basket hanging around its neck, came over, opened the cloth on the woven basket, and called out:

“Hua Hua~”

Qiao Sang paused her sensing, looked down, and found a pile of Ice cream and iced drinks.

“Ting Ting…”

Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Ting Bao staring intently at the cold, steaming Ice cream, almost drooling. She couldn’t help but say:

“Whatever you all want, just take it.”

“Ting Ting!”

“Qing Qing.”

“Steel Chief.”

Ting Bao, Qing Bao, and Steel Treasure quickly made their selections.

“Ice Emperor.” Even Lu Bao chose a flavor of Ice cream.

Qiao Sang looked at Colored Flower Bud Shalala, who hadn’t moved, and asked softly, “Don’t you want any?”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala was startled at first, then happily began to choose.

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King glanced sideways at Mi Jiala.

Look at others.

Mere Ice cream, have you forgotten the huge transfers I usually give you, right… Mi Jiala inwardly scoffed.

Just as she was about to use her money power to buy all the Ice cream and iced drinks in front of her, Qiao Sang said again:

“Dragon King, Meimei, you two come pick too.”

“Mog Mog.”

“Pen Pen.”

Dragon King and Pen Jiami very obligingly walked over.

Mi Jiala: “…”

…

At the same time.

Underground of the Fire Meteorite Pit.

“Xun Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao looked at the scorching hot cave entrance before it, wiped the non-existent sweat from its forehead, and called out, indicating that it might not go in, as it looked very hot inside.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao called out energetically, indicating that such a small amount of heat was nothing to be afraid of, and that Xiao Xunbao was already a King-level, but if it was scared, it could wait here.

After speaking, it moved its four limbs and walked towards the cave entrance.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao suddenly remembered that it was now the boss of three younger brothers. If it was afraid of such a small amount of heat, how would it compete with Big Brother Ya Bao for the ultimate boss position in the future? It gritted its teeth and followed.

The inside of the cave was glowing red from the scorching heat. Even without night vision, everything inside could be seen clearly.

This cave entrance occupied an area of about a hundred square meters, with nothing around it, let alone Pets. Inside, it connected to a passage leading deeper.

Ya Bao surveyed the surroundings, and seeing nothing, it walked towards the passage without hesitation.

“Xun Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao followed behind, wiping its sweat.

The further they went, the hotter the air inside became.

Eventually, Xiao Xunbao even stuck out its tongue to dissipate heat.

“Xun Xun…”

After walking two more minutes without seeing any Pets, Xiao Xunbao couldn’t help but call out, indicating that there were no other Pets here, so Big Brother Ya Bao might as well just try absorbing energy here.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao called out.

But it had already sensed the presence of Pets inside.

As soon as the words fell, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

The main cave was vast, as large as a regular outdoor training ground, and in the center of the cave, a Pet was sleeping. It was about one meter tall, predominantly red with black flame markings on its body, white on its face, nose, and abdomen, a tuft of red beard on its chin, miniature shrinking bracelets on its paws, and a black ribbon-like object wrapped around its tail.

It lay there quietly, eyes closed.

Ya Bao looked to the side and found no other Pets, then looked back at the Pet in front of it, showing a hesitant expression.

The other party was sleeping; wouldn’t it be rude to wake it up for a battle?

“Xun Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao, sticking out its tongue, took off its ring, pulled out a blue, spherical, cold-emitting item from inside, held it in its paw, and showed a comfortable expression.

Then it saw Ya Bao’s hesitant look and called out:

“Xun Xun~”

This place is big, Big Brother Ya Bao, you can just absorb and see. If the absorption doesn’t feel good, we’ll just leave. If it’s good, then we can wake this guy up.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao showed an expression that said, ‘You have a point,’ then closed its eyes and began to Meditate, absorbing the surrounding Fire-type energy.

“Ya!”

After about half a minute, Ya Bao opened its eyes, showing a surprised expression, and called out.

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao also showed a surprised expression and called out.

Then I’ll go wake this guy up.

Saying this, it floated to the side of the sleeping Fire-type Pet.

Just as its paw reached out, Xiao Xunbao stopped, showing a hesitant expression.

“Ya?”

Ya Bao called out, indicating, ‘What’s wrong?’

“Xun Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao looked left and right, propping its chin as it examined the sleeping Pet before it, and called out.

I feel like I’ve seen it before, it looks very familiar.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao called out, indicating, ‘Why don’t you just wake it up and ask?’

As they were chatting, the Fire-type Pet, which had been keeping its eyes closed, suddenly opened them and called out impatiently:

“Li Li.”

You’re too noisy.

It had a pair of rose-red eyes, small but full of imposing presence.

“Ya!”

Upon seeing the other party awake, Ya Bao immediately called out, indicating, ‘I want to battle you!’

“Ya!”

After a pause, it seemed to remember something and added.

Go outside.

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao also helped add, calling out.

If we win the battle, can my Big Brother Ya Bao stay here for a period of time to absorb energy?

“Li Li.”

The Pet with black flame patterns on its body glanced at Ya Bao, showing an indifferent expression, and called out, indicating that if they wanted to stay here, they could, as long as they didn’t disturb it.

After speaking, it closed its eyes again.

“Ya…”

Ya Bao’s excitement, ready for battle, deflated, and it showed a confused expression.

It hadn’t expected the other party to say such a thing. Shouldn’t everyone hate it when foreign species intrude on their territory…

“Xun Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao hadn’t expected it either.

It and Ya Bao looked at each other.

“Ya?”

Ya Bao remembered the other party saying not to disturb it, and called out in a lowered voice.

Should we go up and tell our Yu Beast Master first?

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao also called out in a lowered voice, indicating, ‘Wait a moment.’

Then it took off its ring, pulled out the Pet Identifier from inside, lowered the volume, and aimed it at the sleeping Pet in front of it.

Before long, a voice with the same tone as its own rang out:

“Master, you’re finally using me again~ Let me see who you want me to look at this time… Liousias.”
