Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 341: bright white light
The Illusory Slash and several Shadow Balls mercilessly attacked Lu Bao, who was still casting Healing Light.
A blue scythe about one meter long and several purple orbs tore through the air, heading straight for her at a terrifying speed.
Just then, Xiao Xunbao slowly opened its eyes.
Because these two attacks were fast enough to carry the sound of tearing air, Xiao Xunbao turned its head in confusion to look.
That one glance instantly sobered it up.
“Xun!!!”
Help!
Xiao Xunbao shivered, and the energy in its body instinctively gathered and burst forth, causing it to disappear from its original spot.
No one knew that in the static time, the air trembled slightly.
By the time Xiao Xunbao recovered from its Stun, it had already arrived at another location.
“Xiao Xunbao?!”
In mid-air, looking at the gravestones everywhere, Xiao Xunbao placed its claws on its cheeks, so frightened that its face distorted.
Where was its big Yu Beast Master?!
…
Where was my big Xiao Xunbao?!
At the same time, Qiao Sang looked at the suddenly disappeared Xiao Xunbao with a bewildered expression, because she suddenly couldn’t sense Xiao Xunbao’s location in the yu beast codex, which meant Xiao Xunbao was no longer within her sensing range!
If Qiao Sang were to look at the yu beast codex now, she would find that a new skill, Space Movement, had been added to Xiao Xunbao’s skill page.
Unfortunately, the current situation left her no time to think or look at the yu beast codex.
The Illusory Slash and Shadow Balls reached Lu Bao in the blink of an eye.
“Lu…”
Lu Bao turned its head, its dark blue pupils reflecting blurred blue and purple afterimages, and also, red.
Red?!
Lu Bao stared blankly at the figure engulfed in flames, and as it recovered, it was about to angrily declare that it didn’t need saving.
“Bang!!!”
The next second, with a loud bang, the red figure flew backward, leaving a long scratch on the ground.
“Lu…”
Lu Bao froze again.
“Lu Bao, hurry and save Ya Bao!” Qiao Sang shouted.
“Lu!”
Lu Bao didn’t refuse, and immediately sprinted towards Ya Bao.
“Illusory Slash.” Zhang Rongtang said calmly, preparing for a final blow.
He wasn’t interested in why the Treasure Hunting Fairy had suddenly disappeared.
This child was indeed a prodigy, having contracted three Pets at such a young age, but that was only relative to high school students; for a Yu Beast Master of his age, it was somewhat unimpressive.
Today, he would teach her a lesson, lest she continue to be presumptuous and meddle in others’ affairs, relying on her talent.
“Biao Mu Ma.”
Biao Mu Ma’s eyes turned blue, and a blue scythe about one meter long instantly materialized.
“Wait!”
Just then, Qiao Sang stepped forward, holding the transparent device containing Praying Luck La, and said, “Stop fighting, I’ll give it to you, alright?!”
When will the police arrive?! Ah! Where did Xiao Xunbao go?! Qiao Sang’s inner turmoil was not as calm as her outward appearance.
To be honest, the current situation had exceeded her expectations.
Originally, if Xiao Xunbao had been there, as long as Lu Bao remained unharmed, it wouldn’t matter if either Xiao Xunbao or Ya Bao fell.
If one fell, the other could hold out for a few seconds while Lu Bao healed.
By taking turns falling and healing, they could surely last until the police arrived.
But now, with Xiao Xunbao gone, everything was in chaos.
Now she could only rely on herself to buy time… Qiao Sang held up the device containing Praying Luck La, feigning an anxious expression.
“Yunyun?!”
Praying Luck La looked bewildered.
She was giving up on it already?!
Was she sure she wouldn’t persist any longer?!
Zhang Rongtang’s facial expression softened. He thought, ‘No high school student would be so presumptuous as to fight when seeing three General-level Pets.’
Just as he was about to tell the other party to bring the device containing Praying Luck La over, he saw the young girl in front of him put the device away again, muttering audibly, “Forget it, forget it, a good deed should be seen through to the end.”
“Yunyun!”
Praying Luck La nodded frantically, showing its agreement with the statement.
Zhang Rongtang was directly amused to anger.
Playing tricks on him? Very well!
“Old Hu! Old Biao!” Zhang Rongtang said with a gloomy expression.
“Biao Mu Ma.” Biao Mu Ma called out.
The lingering Illusory Slash instantly shot out, its attack directed towards Lu Bao and Ya Bao’s location.
“Hu Shuo.”
Hu Shuo Evil Spirit floated forward.
This time, Qiao Sang was smarter and turned her head to the other side.
She had noticed that when Hu Shuo Evil Spirit used Hypnosis, it liked to stand forward first, but it wouldn’t do so with other skills.
She wasn’t worried about Lu Bao; if she wasn’t mistaken, Ya Bao should have recovered its state by now…
Qiao Sang guessed correctly, but she underestimated a person’s patience.
“Control it a bit.” Zhang Rongtang said in a deep voice.
Hearing its Yu Beast Master’s words, Hu Shuo Evil Spirit’s eyes, which had just turned purple, returned to normal, and it extended its claws, condensing a Shadow Ball half the usual size, and struck it towards Qiao Sang.
“Bang!!!”
A loud bang.
Qiao Sang turned her head, and what met her eyes were the figures of Ya Bao and Lu Bao.
Ya Bao had indeed recovered its state…
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly realized that the Illusory Slash was attacking from behind, from a position Ya Bao and Lu Bao couldn’t see.
“Teleport!” Qiao Sang’s pupils suddenly contracted as she desperately shouted.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao’s ears twitched slightly. In a flash, it bit Lu Bao and threw it onto its own body, then disappeared from its spot, reappearing five meters away in the air.
The blue scythe, about one meter long, seemed to have eyes, as it followed, changing direction and shooting into the air.
Ya Bao could only use Teleport again to change its position.
The Illusory Slash followed closely.
Every time Ya Bao appeared in a new location, the Illusory Slash would arrive right in front of it, the time difference between the two being less than a second.
Should I actively attack this guy…? Qiao Sang looked at Biao Mu Ma, whose eyes glowed blue.
The Illusory Slash could be controlled to constantly change direction. If it were just Ya Bao, it would be fine; just dodging would buy time. But it also had Lu Bao with it. Lu Bao was not a Superpower System Pet, and its mental strength wasn’t high; it might not be able to endure many more Teleports.
If Ya Bao were to put Lu Bao down, assuming there was such an opportunity, and if the Illusory Slash continued to pursue Ya Bao, and either Hu Shuo Evil Spirit or Zhuang Tong Flying Owl came to attack Lu Bao, then it would be over.
Without Lu Bao’s divine healing, Ya Bao wouldn’t last long at all.
It was safer to keep Lu Bao by Ya Bao’s side.
However, they first needed to cut off the Illusory Slash to give Lu Bao a moment to recover…
As Qiao Sang pondered, Zhang Rongtang’s brows furrowed, growing increasingly impatient.
Just a high school student, and he was actually delayed for so long!
Zhang Rongtang’s gaze deepened, and he suddenly said, “Change target.”
At the same time, Qiao Sang said, “Fine Snow!”
Although Fine Snow had low power, its range was large. As long as Ya Bao teleported closer to Biao Mu Ma next time and Lu Bao blew on it, it might have an effect.
She didn’t expect this move to cause damage to Biao Mu Ma; she only hoped it would make its eyes close slightly, so it wouldn’t chase so closely with the Illusory Slash.
As luck would have it, just as Qiao Sang finished speaking, Ya Bao appeared about 4 meters to the upper left of Biao Mu Ma.
Lu Bao seized the opportunity, pouted its mouth, and a large expanse of white snow crystals drifted out with the momentum.
It was at this moment that Biao Mu Ma’s eyes turned to look at Qiao Sang.
The Illusory Slash paused in mid-air for a moment, then sharply changed direction and struck directly at Qiao Sang.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao, who had been constantly watching the Illusory Slash, showed an angry expression and immediately teleported to appear in front of its Yu Beast Master.
“Bang!!!”
The Illusory Slash directly hit Ya Bao.
However, this time Ya Bao did not fly backward, but instead grinned fiercely without retreating a single step.
Energy continuously boiled within its body.
At this moment, the air trembled slightly.
The next second, a beam of moonlight shone directly onto Ya Bao’s body.
A bright white light erupted.
I originally planned to finish this plot arc today, but I couldn’t resist and wrote too much…
