Chapter 166: black gaze

The Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada is a relatively difficult type of High Level Ghost-type Pet to deal with.

Most Pets gradually increase in size as they evolve, but there are a small number of Pets whose size does not change much, and some even become smaller after evolving.

The larger a Pet’s body, the stronger its power. Correspondingly, even if its speed does not change, it will be more susceptible to attack due to its large size.

From the perspective of the natural world, large Pets have a considerable advantage; both their attack power and defense power are much stronger.

However, this is not absolute. Pets do not determine victory based on size.

Many small Pets can also unleash extremely strong attack power, and they can also rely on their small size to flexibly dodge attacks.

The Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada belongs to this category.

Seeing the Shadow Ball about to smash down on her head, Qiao Sang hugged Little Treasure Hunting Ghost and dodged to the side with a sidestep.

However, before the Shadow Ball had fully fallen in mid-air, a scorching flame shot straight out from the other side and collided with it.

“Bang!!!”

A tremor appeared in the air, and the exploding flames were dazzling.

When the two energies collided, red actually gained the upper hand.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Sang was startled, turned her head to look to the side, and saw Ya Bao baring its fangs, staring fiercely at the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada.

Upon closer inspection, Dreamless Doll had already fallen to the ground with its eyes closed.

Holy cow! Ya Bao is mighty! Qiao Sang’s face lit up with joy, and she immediately nimbly jumped a few meters away.

With the Dreamless Doll dealt with, if there was only one Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada, it wasn’t impossible to win. Judging from the previous exchange, the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada’s Shadow Ball proficiency was clearly not high.

Qiao Sang began to reflect. She had originally thought wrong. What if a Pet’s level was high? As long as the skill proficiency was high enough and enough skills were mastered, it would be easy to defeat an opponent one level higher.

What’s more, Ya Bao now also possessed Mars Rain, a skill that even High Level Fire-type Pets might not necessarily learn.

While Qiao Sang was reflecting, Ya Bao’s sharp teeth were already covered in flames, and it used all its strength to pounce fiercely towards the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada in mid-air.

“Yan Yan.”

The Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada did not choose to dodge. Instead, the third narrowed eye in the middle of its forehead suddenly widened, emitting a purple light.

Ya Bao’s expression froze, and its pouncing movement also stopped. A sudden fear arose in its heart.

“Ya!!”

Ya Bao retreated two steps, its fur bristled, and its fierce expression turned into one of fear and vigilance.

Because in its line of sight, the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada in front of it suddenly lost its facial features, reminding it of a horror movie it had seen before… that human without facial features.

“What’s wrong with Yan Ling Dog?” Fang Sisi clutched her chest, her face pale.

Oh my god! She had lived for a full 15 years and had never experienced such an exciting scene!

First, a Dreamless Doll inexplicably appeared, and then a Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada suddenly appeared. They both seemed to be wild Ghost-type Pets that would attack humans.

When she saw the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada that appeared attack Qiao Sang, she almost peed her pants.

Fortunately, Qunbao blocked it. Before she could calm down, she saw the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada throw another Shadow Ball at Qiao Sang, followed by a flame spraying out and exploding in front of her.

Later, she saw Dreamless Doll being knocked down, and Yan Ling Dog bravely attacking the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada. Heaven knew how excited she was at that moment!

But now Yan Ling Dog suddenly felt cowardly. Her emotions were fluctuating wildly, rising and falling sharply, almost giving her a heart attack.

“Qiao Sang, quickly think of a solution. Yan Ling Dog can’t be cowardly. If it loses, then only Cotton Section Worm is left. We can’t count on it. If it goes up, the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada would probably consider it a waste of energy to even throw a skill at it,” Fang Sisi said with a trembling voice.

“Jie.”

“Jie Jie.”

Cotton Section Worm nodded frantically, expressing agreement.

Qiao Sang looked at the scene in front of her and said, “Ya Bao will be fine. Just now, it was merely the Fear Eye skill used by the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada that took effect. With Ya Bao’s disposition, it should recover very quickly.”

Fear Eye, an intermediate skill, can make the opponent recall their deepest fears. Its power is greater against more timid opponents.

In Qiao Sang’s opinion, her Ya Bao was extremely brave.

She had originally come to the secret room thinking it would be afraid of Ghost-type Pets, but it wasn’t scared at all. First, it kicked the Clone Demon Puppet’s head without looking back, then when it encountered Dreamless Doll, it only had a slightly different reaction at first, and it even actively attacked the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada.

Things like Fear Eye would definitely be recovered from immediately.

Ya Bao, with its fur bristling, stared intently at the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada, which in its eyes had no facial features.

“Yan Yan.”

The Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada opened its mouth, and a purple wave about one meter in diameter shot out. This wave was also entwined with several black energies, giving off a chilling sensation.

Ya Bao’s eyes narrowed, and it instinctively shot out a thick Flame Vortex to counter it. Unfortunately, the fear in its heart still caused the skill to be launched slightly late.

By the time the Flame Vortex shot out, the purple energy was already only a little over two meters away from it.

The purple energy instantly overwhelmed the Flame Vortex, then impacted Ya Bao’s body.

“It’s Evil Wave.”

Along with Qiao Sang’s voice, the Evil Wave struck the ground, causing the concrete floor to directly indent, creating countless spiderweb cracks.

Ya Bao, who was originally in that position, was already gone.

“Yan Yan.”

The Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada was startled, then turned its head to look at Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang’s heart trembled, and she immediately formed hand seals. Ya Bao reappeared in front of the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada within the gray star array.

Seeing Ya Bao, whose state had recovered and whose fur was no longer bristling, Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

She had felt something was wrong when the skills collided just now, so she used the same trick to recall Ya Bao. Now it seemed her judgment was correct.

The power of Evil Wave was superior to Flame Vortex.

“Ya!”

As soon as Ya Bao came out, it glared at the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada, immediately used Fire Fang, and pounced at it again.

However, it pounced into empty space. The Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada concealed its form and disappeared from sight.

Qiao Sang’s expression was solemn. This wasn’t teleportation, but pure invisibility. It was just that the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada reacted quickly enough to dodge Ya Bao’s attack.

In a place invisible to everyone, the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada’s three narrowed eyes simultaneously widened, and an invisible force filled the sewer.

If Qiao Sang could see, she would know why everyone in the observation room couldn’t recall their Pets earlier. Because at this moment, the skill the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada was using was Black Gaze, which prevents Pets from being recalled at will.

Normally, Black Gaze can only lock onto one Pet, but the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada’s Black Gaze could cover the entire secret room. The proficiency of this skill had reached at least the ‘Great Accomplishment’ level.

After releasing Black Gaze, the Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada looked at Qiao Sang.

I got carried away writing the fight… Tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely finish the plot!
