Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 285: What is this?

Just as He Datao was filled with doubt, Ice Dew Qiya pouted, avoiding the Sky Wind Blades while scattering white frost on the ground.

The areas it passed over instantly froze with a thin layer of Ice.

Before Qiao Sang could speak again, Ice Dew Qiya had already understood Qiao Sang’s intention and began to slide rapidly on the icy ground.

Its speed of movement and evasion was significantly faster than before.

“Ice Dew Qiya.”

Feeling that the danger of the Sky Wind Blades was not as great, Ice Dew Qiya resumed its usual aloof expression.

Their默契 was quite good… Qiao Sang revealed a satisfied smile like a doting mother.

“Brave Bird Attack!” Seeing that the situation was not right, He Datao no longer dwelled on the unfamiliar Pet that also knew Ice skills, and quickly issued a new command.

When it came to speed, his Wind Sculpture had never lost!

“Wind Sculpture!”

The Wind Sculpture let out a long cry, its wings quickly folded, and it rapidly descended towards Ice Dew Qiya below.

Its entire body was first enveloped in a layer of light red energy, and as its speed increased, the energy around its body turned bright yellow.

Visually, it looked like a meteor trailing a yellow light.

“Ice Dew Qiya!”

Seeing this, Ice Dew Qiya’s expression became serious again, and it exerted its limbs, accelerating its sliding speed.

However, its speed was still not on the same level as the Wind Sculpture using Brave Bird Attack.

“Bang!!”

In almost two breaths, the Wind Sculpture accurately struck Ice Dew Qiya.

Although both the Wind Sculpture and Ice Dew Qiya were intermediate Pets, there was a significant difference in their size. This blow sent Ice Dew Qiya Flying backward to the boundary line of the arena.

“Ice Dew Qiya…”

Due to being injured since childhood, Ice Dew Qiya, whose skin was a bit thicker than an average Water-type Pet, did not directly faint. Instead, it wobbled to its feet, shaking its head, trying to clear its mind.

Just then, He Datao’s eyes lit up when he saw the position of the light blue Pet, and he immediately changed his attack plan:

“Gust!”

Sometimes, it’s not necessary to defeat the opponent to win; getting the opponent out of the competition area can also lead to victory.

He Datao’s confidence surged, and he felt that this match was stable. His squinted eyes curved even more.

It wasn’t impossible to directly defeat the opponent with other moves, but other attack moves consumed more energy, and the Wind Sculpture still had the next match. If he were to fight the Wind Sculpture, Qiao Sang would likely send out the Treasure Hunting Fairy, so he had to conserve more strength… He Datao admired his own foresight for a moment.

Indeed, he had some wisdom!

Gust is a basic Flying-type skill that creates wind by flapping wings. Its power is not great, and it’s as ordinary as can be.

“Wind Sculpture!”

The Wind Sculpture spread its wings, ready to flap.

At the moment Ice Dew Qiya was sent Flying, Xu Yixuan subconsciously closed her separated fingers that were in front of her eyes, unable to bear watching anymore.

It’s over, it’s over! He Datao is going to the police station!

Endangered Pet! This is an endangered Pet!

Just when everyone thought the match was about to end.

“Wind Sculpture…”

The Wind Sculpture’s wings paused, revealing a pained expression.

This is what Qiao Sang was waiting for! Qiao Sang seized the opportunity and shouted: “Rain Prayer!”

“Ice Dew Qiya!”

Ice Dew Qiya looked up and cried out.

The air suddenly became humid, and dark clouds appeared above the Wind Sculpture.

The next second, rain fell like pine needles.

“Wind Sculpture…”

The Wind Sculpture, being hit by the rain, felt even more uncomfortable, and its Flying height involuntarily dropped by one centimeter.

Although Brave Bird Attack is considered a powerful move among intermediate Flying-type skills, this move has a fatal flaw: the Pet itself also takes a portion of the damage it inflicts on the target.

Flying-type Pets that are not confident in instantly knocking out their opponent or are not stubborn generally do not use this move lightly. Among low-level Pets, Brave Bird Attack is basically used as a finishing move.

Based on Qiao Sang’s understanding of Ice Dew Qiya’s defense, it could at least withstand one such attack.

Indeed, that was the case.

Originally, Qiao Sang had been unable to find a suitable moment for Ice Dew Qiya to use Rain Prayer. After all, Rain Prayer is a high-level skill, and with Ice Dew Qiya’s current proficiency, it was impossible to cast it instantly. It would definitely be interrupted by the Wind Sculpture during the casting process.

This would make them even more passive.

But she never expected this opportunity to be handed to her by the opponent.

The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the happier she became. Then she realized something and pressed down the corners of her lips, which had unconsciously turned upwards.

It’s just an ordinary battle! Don’t smile!

“Healing Light!” Qiao Sang shouted after pressing down the corners of her mouth.

“Ice Dew Qiya!”

As soon as the words fell, Ice Dew Qiya immediately reacted, and its body was instantly enveloped in a strong blue light.

By the side of the arena.

Everyone was still discussing intensely.

“My goodness! Incredible! Rain Prayer! Plus this one! All three of Qiao Sang’s Pets have learned high-level skills!” Chen Jia said with wide eyes.

Zhang Dezhou forgot his sorrow and said in shock, “Holy crap! Are high-level skills that easy to learn?! It’s like they’re being mass-produced!”

At this moment, the boy in the white jacket said with a sincere expression, “What’s the point of competing anymore?! I bet Sun Teacher is smiling from ear to ear right now. The three of you can prepare for the team elimination round to decide who will be the substitute.”

Zhang Dezhou: “…”

What to do, my heart started to ache again…

It truly lives up to its name as an endangered Pet! Xu Yixuan heard everyone’s conversation and quickly put down her hands, wanting to see the situation on the field.

She saw fine rain falling in the center of the arena, and the Ice Dew Qiya, which created this rain, was emitting a dazzling blue light all over its body.

Good heavens!

What skill is this again?

Why have I never seen it on other Water-type or Ice Pets!

Xu Yixuan thought to herself, and then she asked out loud, “What skill is this? Does anyone know?”

Everyone sighed and shook their heads, including the boy who had previously recognized the Water Fusion characteristic.

Can’t even recognize the skill, it’s heartbreaking!

Of course, the one who was even more heartbroken was He Datao.

At this moment, he just wanted to say: “%*@# Chapter¥!”

It felt like a sure win, so why was it so difficult?!

How could this light blue Pet still have the energy to use a high-level skill like Rain Prayer after being hit by Brave Bird Attack?!

It looked so small, and it didn’t seem like a Water-type Pet with high defense, so why was its skin so thick!

He Datao roared wildly in his heart.

Although he was roaring internally, he was still constantly paying attention to the battle situation.

Seeing the light blue Pet emitting a blue light, even though he couldn’t recognize the skill, He Datao still had a bad feeling.

He had to interrupt it!

His rich battle experience instinctively led He Datao to make a judgment.

“Air Blade!”

“Wind Sculpture!”

At this moment, the Wind Sculpture had adapted to the discomfort. It flapped its wings forcefully, and several sharp blades condensed from the air instantly cut through the rain curtain, attacking Ice Dew Qiya, which was still emitting blue light.

Xu Yixuan covered her eyes again, not daring to look.

He Datao, that guy, she found him suspicious!

The rest of the people held their breath.

The Air Blade did not interrupt the blue light, because the blue light had already dissipated before the Air Blade arrived.

“Ice Dew Qiya.”

A completely unharmed and energetic Ice Dew Qiya appeared before their eyes.

Everyone: “???”

PS: Went out for drinks tonight, so I’m late.
