Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 464: My heart is so dirty
“Three Three!”
Hearing her Yu Beast Master’s words, the Three-Headed Bee Monster let out a cry.
Three of the four yellow lights immediately shot towards Ice Kexilu from three different angles.
The remaining one stopped in mid-air, its form clearly visible.
It had three heads, each with two antennae, large, thick white stingers on its hands, and intricately patterned yellow wings on its back.
Seeing this scene, the audience expressed their opinions.
“I see, Tian Xiaoyun is adopting a strategy of attrition in this match.”
“It’s obvious! The Three-Headed Bee Monster moved at high speed for a long time without attacking, only launching an attack when Ice Kexilu was about to cast Rain.”
“I also figured it out. The main body is hiding so far away, only sending out clones. What kind of damage can clones cause? It’s clearly aiming to interrupt Rain.”
“This strategy is flawless! If they fought head-on, how could the Three-Headed Bee Monster possibly defeat Ice Kexilu? Since this is being broadcast nationally, they have to drag out the battle time a bit.”
Amidst the audience’s discussions, the three yellow lights on the field had already appeared within one meter of Ice Kexilu.
At this moment, a large amount of cold air spread wantonly from Ice Kexilu’s mouth, and the rain Tian Xiaoyun imagined did not fall.
Icy Wind! I was tricked! Ice Kexilu isn’t casting Rain… Tian Xiaoyun’s face changed, and she quickly said:
“Dodge!”
Rain is a High Level skill and requires some time to cast, but Icy Wind is different; for a High-level Pet, casting a Medium Level skill is almost instantaneous.
Logically, if Ice Kexilu wanted to cast Icy Wind, she would have cast it much earlier, but she deliberately waited until the Three-Headed Bee Monster’s attack was almost upon her before releasing it. This was clearly intentional!
How did she figure out that the main body was among the attacking Three-Headed Bee Monsters… Tian Xiaoyun’s heart felt heavy.
She had studied Qiao Sang’s matches and knew that Ice Kexilu sometimes preferred to stand still and take damage rather than interrupt her skill casting.
In that case, the attacks caused by the clones would be like mere tickles, and Ice Kexilu would most likely continue to cast Rain.
Only an attack from the main body could potentially interrupt the casting of Rain.
Therefore, among the three attacking Three-Headed Bee Monsters, one had to be the main body.
To create confusion, before the match, she had even specifically arranged a tactic for the Three-Headed Bee Monster to leave one clone motionless in the distance, making the opponent think that was the main body, thereby ignoring the Three-Headed Bee Monster nearby and directly attacking the wrong target. She didn’t expect it to be seen through at a glance.
In this kind of match, Pets cannot act without the instructions of their Yu Beast Master.
Now, Qiao Sang said Rain, but Ice Kexilu cast Icy Wind. There is only one explanation: this was pre-arranged.
As expected of a prodigy who cultivated three High-level Pets at the age of 15, her mind is truly different from normal people. She even has to arrange tactics when fighting only a Medium Level Pet… While Tian Xiaoyun felt exhausted, she also couldn’t help but admire her.
Ice Kexilu’s reaction ability has improved, and her skill switching is quite fast. I thought she would take damage and still cast Rain like before… Qiao Sang’s eyes flashed with surprise, then turned to satisfaction.
Although the three clones wouldn’t cause much damage, but… Qiao Sang’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
Oh, the main body was actually hidden among the three attacking Three-Headed Bee Monsters!
The three attacking yellow lights suddenly changed direction.
Although their movement speed was fast enough, they were too close to Ice Kexilu, and the cold air raged, catching up to them almost in the blink of an eye.
Two of the yellow lights stopped, revealing their original forms before disappearing directly.
The speed of the other yellow light sharply decreased, and an ice shell could be clearly seen freezing half of its wing.
At the same time, the Three-Headed Bee Monster in mid-air also disappeared.
At this point, it was clear which one was the main body.
The audience who had previously determined that the Three-Headed Bee Monster stopped motionless in mid-air was the main body suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
The speed of Icy Wind is actually this fast… Seeing that the situation was not good, Tian Xiaoyun immediately shouted:
“High-speed Movement!”
Upon hearing this, the Three-Headed Bee Monster’s other half of its wing, which was not frozen, instantly began flapping at a frantic pace.
High-speed Movement, a Mid-level skill, can relax the body and make it lighter, greatly increasing one’s speed… But with half of its wing frozen, it still wants to use High-speed Movement to create distance? Qiao Sang said:
“Water Gun.”
Ice Kexilu quickly opened her mouth, and a blue water ripple appeared in front of it.
At the same time, a strong white light emanated from the Three-Headed Bee Monster’s body, and the ice shell on its left wing showed faint signs of cracking.
Although Ice Kexilu’s Icy Wind proficiency wasn’t high, it wasn’t that easy for a Medium Level Pet to break through.
Due to the restriction of the ice shell on its left half-wing, the Three-Headed Bee Monster’s High-speed Movement did not immediately accelerate and fly away.
Because it was half a beat slow, the thick blue water stream from behind roared forth, directly striking the Three-Headed Bee Monster.
“Bang!”
The Three-Headed Bee Monster was sent flying backward, heavily crashing onto the ground.
“Three Three…”
The Three-Headed Bee Monster’s left and right heads were already closed, with only the middle head still conscious, trying to struggle to its feet.
At this moment, another Water Gun roared forth.
The Three-Headed Bee Monster finally completely fainted.
“qu!”
The Mechanical System Pet wearing the referee’s badge floated over, took two glances, and blew its whistle.
The discussions in the audience seats suddenly grew louder.
“It still has to be Qiao Sang. If I were up there, I’d be completely played, unable to even distinguish between clones and the main body.”
“Brother, it’s not your fault. That Three-Headed Bee Monster left one clone motionless there, clearly intending to mislead others into thinking it was the main body.”
“Compared to Qiao Sang, you’d be completely played, alright! She clearly gave the command for Rain at the beginning, but then came out with Icy Wind. She already has three High-level Pets, and she still pulls this kind of trick when fighting a Medium Level Pet. It’s truly terrifying.”
“Those who can make it to the National Competition all have such cunning minds…”
…
On the field, two Pets in white lab coats placed the Three-Headed Bee Monster onto a stretcher and silently carried it away.
“Ice Ke.”
Ice Kexilu had a cool expression, looking refreshed, as if she had just been summoned and hadn’t even moved yet.
The audience from the Ancient Mist region was filled with excitement and emotion, immersed in Ice Kexilu’s dreamlike figure.
Tian Xiaoyun took a deep breath on the spot, calming her emotions.
The Three-Headed Bee Monster lost faster than she expected, and Ice Kexilu didn’t consume much energy. It seems the next one will be a tough battle…
Soon, the referee gave the command to summon a Pet.
Tian Xiaoyun formed hand seals.
A gray star array lit up.
A Pet with a deep blue body, tiny eyes, and a huge lower jaw appeared within the star array.
Big Mouth Ai, a High Level Superpower System Pet. The alpha waves it emits cause headaches in nearby creatures… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with relevant information, thinking to herself that it seems this match requires constantly maintaining distance from the opponent…
“qu!”
The whistle signaling the start of the match blew.
The next second, Big Mouth Ai appeared in front of Ice Kexilu.
