Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 326: Throw yourself into the trap
Lei Lei: “???”
You don’t agree, but why did you agree just now?!
Are you playing with me?!
Lei Lei’s forehead creased with black lines, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his fists clenched tightly.
He was already prepared to give up, but now he suddenly felt a strong desire to fight!
Looking at that guy’s expression, he couldn’t have actually believed it, could he? Qiao Sang touched her nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.
High school students are still too naive…
As soon as the Pet appeared, the ground sank, replaced by an artificial arena with a small pond.
It was less of a pond and more like it looked like a pond.
It should have been a large pit, but the terrain was too low, water flowed into it, and the bottom was made of dark blue material, making the water appear very deep.
The pond occupied most of the area, leaving limited space for movement on the ground.
Logically, such an arena would severely restrict the movement of non-Water-type Pets.
However, one of the Pets dispatched by the two sides was a Ghost-type Pet, and the other was a Flying-type Pet, neither of which needed to touch the ground.
In the audience, in the area where various schools were concentrated.
“Isn’t your school’s Vice Principal an A-level Breeder? Why didn’t he check on this Treasure Hunting Fairy? Look how scrawny it is,” the coach leading Chongzhou Yu Beast High School teased.
After this period of getting along, Sun Boyi had already gotten used to the Treasure Hunting Fairy’s size.
He heard the other party’s words, looked up with a blank expression, and glanced at the Treasure Hunting Fairy’s plump belly in mid-air.
Is this…scrawny?
The coach from Chongzhou Yu Beast High School saw that the other party didn’t speak and thought he was tacitly agreeing, which made him feel a bit better.
He had watched Qiao Sang’s match videos and, having thoroughly analyzed the differences between the enemy and himself, the coach knew his school had little hope of winning.
However, even if he couldn’t win, being able to say a few words felt good.
Just then, a voice came from behind: “If it’s so scrawny and can still beat you guys, wouldn’t you lose even more miserably if it were a normal size?”
The coach from Chongzhou Yu Beast High School turned around angrily.
Which scoundrel was that?
Can such blunt truths be spoken so casually?!
“Principal, why are you here?!” Sun Boyi turned around and said in surprise.
Principal? The Principal of Saint Water Middle School?!
The coach from Chongzhou Yu Beast High School instantly put on a smiling face: “Oh, it’s the Principal. I knew it, as soon as I heard your voice, I felt it was extraordinary. Why do you have time to come and watch the match?”
Wang Weidou said unhurriedly: “The annual National Campus Pet Beast League, no matter how busy I am, I have to come and watch.”
You’re here to see Qiao Sang, aren’t you? The last preliminary round was fine, at least the competition venue was in Hanggang City, but I didn’t expect you to follow us all the way to Hong Rao Town this time… Sun Boyi finished complaining internally but didn’t expose him, asking:
“Why didn’t you say something when you came? We could have come together.”
Wang Weidou, who found sitting on the bus uncomfortable, righteously said: “I’m afraid the students would feel pressured. This is their last National Campus Pet Beast League, so it’s better not to disturb them.”
Sun Boyi, who somewhat understood his school principal’s true nature, always felt something wasn’t quite right, but the coach from Chongzhou Yu Beast High School was touched by what he heard.
No wonder Saint Water Middle School has consistently held the position of the number one Yu Beast High School in Hanggang City; it turns out their principal considers the students so thoughtfully!
While they were chatting, the match on the field had already begun.
Lei Lei’s Wind Sculpture was the first to attack, moving left and right at a speed difficult to capture with the naked eye, charging towards Xiao Xunbao.
Just as it was about to collide, Xiao Xunbao’s mouth curved into a grin, and it vanished into thin air, becoming invisible.
Logically, even if a Ghost-type Pet is invisible, as long as its location is attacked, it will still take damage.
But the Wind Sculpture hit nothing.
This meant that the Treasure Hunting Fairy not only became invisible but also moved to another location to dodge the attack.
Its reaction speed was too fast; it was indeed troublesome…
Lei Lei’s heart sank slightly. Just as he was about to speak, several black, ribbon-like shadows appeared out of thin air and attacked the Wind Sculpture!
“Attack where the shadows appeared!” Lei Lei, being rich in combat experience, reacted immediately.
Rather than constantly dodging the Dark Shadow Control, it was better to gamble that the Wind Sculpture’s speed could dodge the shadows and attack the Treasure Hunting Fairy!
“Whoosh!”
Hearing his Yu Beast Master’s words, the Wind Sculpture spread its wings and actively flew towards the direction from which the shadows were attacking.
The Wind Sculpture weaved through the several shadows, dodging with astonishing speed, almost instantly rushing to the middle section of the dark shadows!
It was at this moment that a cyan light gathered around its body, its speed soared again, and it rapidly approached the foremost part of the shadows.
This scene made everyone watching exclaim in unison.
“The Wind Sculpture truly lives up to its reputation for speed! This speed is incredible!”
“This must be Brave Bird Attack. If this move hits the Treasure Hunting Fairy, the match might be over immediately.”
“The Wind Sculpture already has an advantage in speed, and this particular Wind Sculpture has clearly undergone professional speed training. I estimate its Yu Beast Master probably spent most of his time on speed training.”
“Nephew, what are those dark things? They look quite terrifying,” a curious spectator asked.
“Dark Shadow Control,” the boy next to him replied.
“What’s Dark Shadow Control?” the uncle who had asked the question originally asked, puzzled.
“It’s used to control others. It’s a skill that only High-level Pets might be able to learn,” the boy said.
The uncle was shocked: “My goodness! That tiny little Pet just now was a High-level Pet?!”
“No, it’s a Mid-level Pet,” the boy said, looking at the sky with fiery eyes.
A Mid-level Pet that has already learned a High Level skill; he didn’t believe such a Treasure Hunting Fairy would lose!
In mid-air, the Wind Sculpture, enveloped in cyan light, was almost a blur, and the dark shadows’ attack speed couldn’t keep up at all.
Seeing the Wind Sculpture about to close in on Xiao Xunbao, Qiao Sang calmly said: “Form a net.”
“Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao reappeared, crossing its two claws controlling the Dark Shadow Control in front of it.
The original several dark shadows, which were attacking, quickly retracted, interweaving to form a black net with almost no gaps, blocking its front.
“Quick, dodge!” Lei Lei, who had been focused on the situation, felt his heart tremble and shouted desperately.
But it was already too late.
The Wind Sculpture, completely enveloped in cyan light, directly crashed head-on into the net formed by the dark shadows.
The black net received a strong impact, protruding sharply forward for a distance, outlining the shape of the Wind Sculpture.
“Whoosh!”
The net formed by the dark shadows was extremely tough and was not broken. Instead, it rapidly extended and retracted to the other side, completely trapping the Wind Sculpture inside.
Xiao Xunbao appeared on the other side at some point, holding the claws that were performing Dark Shadow Control and letting out a “hehehe” laugh.
However, the next second, Xiao Xunbao’s expression changed drastically, and it quickly dropped downward, holding the black net that was controlling the Wind Sculpture.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
This guy is so heavy!
Below was the pond.
Just as the black net touched the water surface, Xiao Xunbao released its claws, and the black net, trapping the Wind Sculpture, fell into the pond.
“Xiao Xunbao.”
Xiao Xunbao panted, touching its chest.
So scary, it almost fell in too.
The arena was silent. After a few seconds, someone, it was unclear who, was the first to speak:
“This… is walking right into a trap, isn’t it?”
