Chapter 423: Sickle Meerkat

“Whoosh!”

The spectator stands immediately erupted in a clamor.

Ordinary high school student competitions couldn’t ignite their passion.

But this match was different; both sides had dispatched High-level Pets, and the most crucial point was how incredibly smooth Liao Xing Hound’s series of attacks were. It completely suppressed a Pet of the same level, ending the battle in just a few moves!

“This Liao Xing Hound is too cool!”

“That was amazing! The battle rhythm was incredibly crisp. To ensure damage, it even teleported to use Fire Fang after casting Hellfire. It wasn’t flustered at all when Super Evil Scorpion grabbed it. Even a Professional Beast Tamer’s nurtured Pet couldn’t be much better than this!”

“It really did impress me. What do you guys think? Will Qiao Sang send out Ice Kexilu in the next match…?”

“I heard someone say that when Ice Kexilu hadn’t evolved yet, it was actually the weakest of Qiao Sang’s three Pets. I didn’t believe it at first, but after watching the past two days’ matches, I’m starting to…”

“Don’t talk nonsense! When Ice Kexilu was still Ice Dew Qiya, didn’t you know it used Ice Flower Seal?!”

“But wasn’t that just one?”

“That was to deceive the opponent! Didn’t you see dozens of them released later?!”

“Oh.”

…

On the field.

Two muscular Pets in white lab coats carried away the unconscious Super Evil Scorpion on a stretcher.

Bai Binbin looked grief-stricken.

He hadn’t expected to lose so suddenly and unprepared!

Before he could grieve any longer, he suddenly felt a burning gaze.

Bai Binbin followed the gaze and found that Liao Xing Hound was staring at him.

“Damn, why is it looking at me? What’s so good about me? Why is it looking at me like this…?” Bai Binbin’s heart tightened, and he instantly felt immense pressure, momentarily forgetting to continue grieving.

Ya Bao looked at Bai Binbin with an expectant expression.

Two matches, one opponent down, and one more to go!

It could keep fighting!

“The next one is Sickle Mongoose…” Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Soon, the referee issued the command to summon a Pet.

Bai Binbin formed hand seals, summoning a Pet that was entirely yellow, with bent, elongated antennae and three white sickle-shaped claws on each paw.

“Sickle!”

As soon as Sickle Mongoose appeared, it raised its claws, slashed left once, then right once, and then struck a cool pose.

“Ya…”

Ya Bao surveyed its opponent, which was only about one meter tall, and showed a slightly disdainful expression.

“It feels so weak…”

“Sickle!”

At this moment, Sickle Mongoose raised its head, looking at its imposing opponent without the slightest panic. Instead, it bounced twice in place, barked at Ya Bao, and showed an eager expression.

Ya Bao’s eyes immediately lit up.

Although this opponent looked a bit weak, it liked its attitude!

The mechanical voice signaling the start of the battle rang out at the opportune moment.

Sickle Mongoose immediately dashed towards the blackened ground.

The moment it stepped onto the blackened ground, a layer of light seemed to flash across Sickle Mongoose’s surface.

It didn’t stop, moving left and right, constantly changing its route as it ran towards other blackened areas of the ground.

Sickle Mongoose ran faster and faster, eventually becoming a ghostly figure, with only an afterimage visible to onlookers.

Then, one afterimage split into two, and two split into four.

The spectators discussed this scene.

“This Sickle Mongoose must have the ‘Poisonous Surge’ characteristic, deliberately running onto the ground that still has poison residue.”

“It clearly is, and don’t tell me, its speed is quite fast.”

“It looks like it wants to initiate an attack, but Liao Xing Hound is in the air. How will it attack?”

As soon as this person finished speaking, the four afterimages on the field quickly converged and ran in a straight line.

Then, one afterimage stepped on the foremost afterimage and leaped forcefully, immediately jumping several meters into the air.

Immediately after, the subsequent afterimages arrived, stepping on the now stationary Sickle Mongoose to jump, leaping onto the Sickle Mongoose that had already jumped into the air, and then leaping forcefully again.

The last afterimage imitated the two previous Sickle Mongooses, leaping three times in quick succession, so fast that it almost instantly jumped in front of Ya Bao.

“Sickle!”

Sickle Mongoose swung its sickle-shaped claws, its body slightly tilted, and a cold gleam flickered on its blade.

“It seems to want to use Triple Slash. This skill gets faster with each strike, and the power of each subsequent strike is double the previous one. With the ‘Poisonous Surge’ characteristic, if a Pet of the same level with weak defense were hit three times in a row, it would probably be ‘finished’ directly…”

Qiao Sang felt no panic in her heart. Among her three Pets, Ya Bao had the strongest combat awareness. Its current inaction surely meant it was waiting for the best attack opportunity.

In the air, Sickle Mongoose executed a stylish side-body move, swinging its cold, gleaming, sickle-shaped claws, about to strike Ya Bao.

The blade’s edge was chilling, but before it could strike, Sickle Mongoose suddenly, with a “whoosh,” plummeted vertically from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground, creating a deep crater.

Bai Binbin looked bewildered. He looked up at Liao Xing Hound in the sky, whose eyes were glowing blue at this moment.

“Is this telekinesis?!”

The next second, his expression suddenly changed, because he saw Liao Xing Hound open its mouth.

“Get out of the way!” Bai Binbin shouted loudly.

“Sickle…”

Sickle Mongoose heard its Yu Beast Master’s words, endured the intense pain, and opened its eyes. Then it saw a flash of fire almost within reach.

“Bang!!”

The rotating flames descended vertically into the deep crater. Firelight illuminated the arena, and the scorching flames precisely struck the Sickle Mongoose in the pit.

“Sickle!!!”

Sickle Mongoose let out a tragic scream, then fell silent.

“qu!”

The mechanical Pet wearing the referee’s badge floated over, inspected the deep pit, and blew its whistle, signaling the end of the match.

A commotion arose in the spectator stands.

Although Liao Xing Hound’s victory was no surprise, the process was still quite exciting to watch.

Especially Sickle Mongoose’s previous series of actions were particularly stunning. It showed no fear facing an opponent stronger than itself and even initiated an attack. Later, it used the ‘Poisonous Surge’ characteristic to increase its speed, then used Shadow Clone to jump to Liao Xing Hound’s position.

It was precisely because the operation was so stunning that Liao Xing Hound’s subsequent use of one telekinesis and one Flame Vortex to end the match seemed particularly impressive.

It was perfectly normal for a High-level Pet to defeat a mid-level Pet, but it just felt incredibly satisfying to watch.

“What was Liao Xing Hound’s initial form again? I want to contract one…”

“Not sure. It’s a Pet from the Yuhua region, right? You’ll find out if you search online.”

“I feel this Liao Xing Hound’s reaction speed is so fast, and its telekinesis is so strong. It just directly brought Sickle Mongoose to the ground. I hadn’t even reacted when Sickle Mongoose shot up earlier.”

“You’ve never received a single back-feeding, so it’s normal not to react, isn’t it?”

“…”

…

On the field.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao landed on the ground and let out a loud cry towards the sky, signifying victory.

“Ya?”

Just after crying out, Ya Bao suddenly felt uncomfortable inside, and couldn’t help but show a puzzled expression.

Qiao Sang spoke faintly, “You stepped on poison.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao quickly teleported back into the air.

Qiao Sang: “…”
