Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 434: Thousand Water Bears

“Yeke…”

Yekesuo Slender closed its eyes uncontrollably.

Vine Whip scattered all over the ground.

What came into the audience’s view was Yekesuo Slender sleeping on the ground, snoring, and a Treasure Hunting Fairy less than a centimeter away from it.

The scene immediately became noisy.

“What’s going on? Why don’t I understand?! What happened?!”

“Is Yekesuo Slender hypnotized?”

“No, isn’t the question why the Treasure Hunting Fairy suddenly appeared there? Yekesuo Slender used Vine Whip to protect itself 360 degrees without any blind spots, so how did the Treasure Hunting Fairy appear inside the Vine Whip?”

“What the hell? Judging by the distance this Ghost-type Pet used Shadow Ball just now, it shouldn’t have appeared there at all!”

“You haven’t watched this Treasure Hunting Fairy’s matches from a while ago, have you?”

“No, this is the first time I’ve managed to get a ticket today.”

“No wonder. This Treasure Hunting Fairy also has Superpower System attributes and can teleport.”

“Hiss… but that’s not right! Even if it can teleport, it can’t teleport directly inside the Vine Whip!”

“So this isn’t teleportation.”

“Then what is it?”

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s Space Movement.”

“!!!”

Among the people watching the match, there were many Professional Beast Tamers, who quickly analyzed what was happening.

“Vine Whip can block close-range teleportation, but it can’t block Space Movement. Qiao Sang probably thought of this move the first time she saw Yekesuo Slender use the encircling Vine Whip. So, she deliberately had the Treasure Hunting Fairy use Shadow Ball later, with the purpose of making Yekesuo Slender use this encircling Vine Whip again, so that the Treasure Hunting Fairy could directly use Space Movement to get inside. This way, with the Vine Whip as an obstruction, neither Ma Zongji nor Yekesuo Slender could react immediately.”

“Holy crap! How can you still analyze these things so calmly! Space Movement, big brother! A mid-level Ghost-type Pet can use Space Movement!”

“Why are you so excited? Qiao Sang’s Liao Xing Hound can even use Profound Level Mars Rain. For such a prodigy, what’s impossible?”

“…”

The intense discussion in the audience seats did not affect the field.

The Mechanical-type Pet wearing the referee’s badge blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.

Ma Zongji’s expression was bewildered.

The first thought that came to him was: Did I just lose?

The second thought was: Does that mean Qiao Sang will send out the Treasure Hunting Fairy next? Does that mean I won’t be able to battle Ice Kexilu?

“Qunbao…”

Little Qunbao carefully sensed the energy within its body, then showed a disappointed expression.

Why hasn’t it evolved yet…

This expression, when seen by Ma Zongji, immediately took on a different interpretation: It thinks the match just now was too easy to win? It feels Yekesuo Slender is too weak? So it’s disappointed?

After imagining this, Ma Zongji felt a lump in his throat.

He took a deep breath, trying to adjust his mindset.

A temporary win or loss means nothing. As long as he wins against the Treasure Hunting Fairy next and gets to see Ice Kexilu in action, he will be the victor!

At this moment, Qiao Sang waved her hand and recalled Little Qunbao into the yu beast codex.

Ma Zongji, who had just been full of fighting spirit, was stunned when he saw this scene.

Before he could think too much, the prompt for summoning the second Pet for the match sounded on the field.

Ma Zongji subconsciously formed hand seals.

The star array lit up, and then he saw the Pet with scales covered in sapphire-like luster all over its body, and an almost perfect physique, in Qiao Sang’s green star array.

Ma Zongji was first stunned, then his face suddenly became excited.

It was like he had thought he would have to defeat dark forces and overcome various difficulties to meet his goddess, but then the goddess appeared right in front of him the next second.

It was such a pleasant surprise!

“Whoa!”

Even before the match began, the entire venue was already boiling.

“Ice Kexilu! Ahhh! It’s Ice Kexilu!”

“Hahaha! It was worth it to quit my job and rush over! I finally got to see Ice Kexilu!”

“My goodness, I thought Qiao Sang would summon Ice Kexilu when I expected her to, but she didn’t. Then, when I gave up hope, she summoned Ice Kexilu again. Is a genius’s thought process really that hard to guess now?!”

“I can’t figure it out! I remember Ma Zongji’s Thousand Path Water Bear has the Water Storage characteristic, so why would Qiao Sang send out Ice Kexilu?”

“Ice Kexilu’s strongest skills are still Ice skills. Even if it doesn’t have the Water Storage characteristic like Thousand Path Water Bear, it also has Water-type, giving it a certain resistance to Water-type skills. Unless Thousand Path Water Bear can get close and use fighting skills, it would be difficult to cause damage to Ice Kexilu with just Water-type skills.”

Everyone thought Qiao Sang wouldn’t summon Ice Kexilu to fight Thousand Path Water Bear because they were looking at it from Ice Kexilu’s perspective, considering the danger of Thousand Path Water Bear to Ice Kexilu.

But if they were to reverse it and look from Thousand Path Water Bear’s perspective, they would realize that Ice Kexilu also poses a great danger to Thousand Path Water Bear.

Ice Kexilu has the Melt Water characteristic, which is very disadvantageous for Thousand Path Water Bear, who excels at using large-area Water-type skills.

Coupled with its almost resurrection-like Healing Light and highly proficient Ice Flower Seal, Thousand Path Water Bear might actually be the Pet that needs to worry.

On the field, as soon as the prompt indicating the start of the match sounded, Lu Bao slightly raised its head and opened its mouth.

“Interrupt it!” Ma Zongji said urgently.

This posture, the possibility of using Ice Flower Seal was simply too high!

Although he wasn’t afraid of losing, he didn’t want to lose too quickly. It wasn’t easy to battle Ice Kexilu, so he naturally wanted to stay on the same field as Ice Kexilu for a bit longer.

“Thousand Path.”

Thousand Path Water Bear opened its mouth, and instantly, an extremely thick Water Gun shot out from its throat.

Although Lu Bao started channeling energy first, releasing high-level skills like Snowfall couldn’t be done instantly.

Lu Bao maintained its head-up, mouth-open posture, looking down towards the direction of the Water Gun, but did not move.

“Bang!”

The thick Water Gun hit Lu Bao completely.

At the same time, the surrounding temperature inexplicably dropped, and large snowflakes began to fall.

On the other side, Lu Bao stood firm after being pushed back several meters by the Water Gun, and blue light immediately appeared on its body.

“Ice Ke.”

After the blue light dissipated, there was no sign of injury on Lu Bao’s body.

Holy cow, it really used Ice Flower Seal. Is it really okay to use a big move right at the start… It actually endured the attack just to unleash a big move, relying on its Healing Light… This willful feeling is too cool… Ma Zongji suppressed his excited emotions and gave the command:

“Block it with Whirlpool!”

“Thousand Path!”

Hearing its Yu Beast Master’s words, Thousand Path Water Bear clenched its two paws and clashed them together, letting out a loud cry. A spiral-shaped water vortex, over three meters wide, instantly appeared above its head.

Snowflakes fell, landing in the water vortex, and exquisite Ice flowers condensed one by one in the water vortex.

The spiral-shaped water vortex instantly became covered in Ice flowers, turning solid.

Thousand Path Water Bear tensed its muscles and used all four limbs to lift the now solid water vortex with its arms.

The snowflakes were still falling at this moment, but they had no effect on Thousand Path Water Bear, which had the solid water vortex as an umbrella.

Whirlpool, a high-level Water-type skill. I didn’t expect this guy to hide a high-level skill… Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow, becoming interested.
