Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 480: immune properties
The reality was a bit different from what Zhao Chuanyu had imagined; the audience was in an uproar, but none of them were laughing at him for being foolish.
“Damn it! Arrogant Poison Star is too venomous! Look at what it did to Ice Kexilu!”
“Ah! My Ice Kexilu! Its scales are corroded; how much pain must it be in!”
“Hey, hey, hey, people from Ancient Mist, don’t go too far. This is a competition, and the people from Yuhua haven’t even said anything.”
“Heh, Zhao Chuanyu should be glad this isn’t Ancient Mist.”
“Are Water-type Pets all so good at holding their breath? Or did Ice Kexilu specifically train for it?”
“Looking at this, Zhao Chuanyu’s situation doesn’t look good.”
“Ice Flower Seal doesn’t seem as powerful as the internet says; it’s been half a day and it hasn’t done anything.”
“That’s because there’s too much poisonous gas in the air. Not only is the Ice Flower Seal’s energy affected, but when the poisonous gas is absorbed by Arrogant Poison Star, it can recover a bit.”
“Well, after fighting for so long, Ice Kexilu is completely healed with one Healing Light.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Arrogant Poison Star hasn’t used its ultimate move yet.”
Despite the unfavorable situation for Zhao Chuanyu after the recent exchange, the audience from the Central Empty Region, who understood Zhao Chuanyu’s strength, did not believe Qiao Sang would easily win the match.
… …
On the field.
“Aoao…”
Arrogant Poison Star struggled to get up, with several delicate ice flowers blooming on its body.
Its eyes glowed blue, and a Light Wall had reformed above its head.
The Ice Flower Seal still had obvious drawbacks: it only worked when it directly touched the target’s body. However, it took time for the snow to fall to the ground. If the opponent knew beforehand that the falling snow was the Ice Flower Seal, they would basically prepare in advance, using a skill that could block snow above their head to avoid the initial wave of snow, which contained the most ice-sealing energy… The ice-sealing energy of the subsequent snow would weaken, and the speed at which ice flowers bloomed would also slow down. As long as the target had strong physical qualities, it would at most only affect the opponent’s movement… Qiao Sang unconsciously analyzed as she looked at Arrogant Poison Star.
If Ice Flower Seal had been more effective, how could the opponent have dared to make Arrogant Poison Star remove its Light Wall to attack Lu Bao with Toxic Impact just now…
At this moment, the blue light on Lu Bao’s body dissipated.
Qiao Sang immediately gathered her thoughts and loudly commanded:
“Ice Flower Seal!”
If one wave wasn’t enough, then another!
Anyway, Arrogant Poison Star was currently using Light Wall; if it dared, it could continue to remove the Light Wall to interrupt the casting of Ice Flower Seal!
Lu Bao raised its head and opened its mouth, and an invisible chill immediately filled the surroundings.
A considerable amount of poisonous gas fell into its mouth.
Zhao Chuanyu narrowed his eyes, watching this scene without any action.
After Lu Bao finished casting Ice Flower Seal and closed its mouth, its body was clearly stiff, with black gas emanating from all around it.
Immediately after, it took a deep breath, and blue light once again emanated from its body.
Zhao Chuanyu finally understood that Ice Kexilu, who could hold its breath, could no longer follow his original plan.
Originally, he had intended to continuously deplete Ice Kexilu’s energy with severe poison, so that Arrogant Poison Star could then enter the next round and wear down Liao Xing Hound, maximizing its utility before retreating.
Now, it seemed that was not possible.
Since that was the case, why not use all of Arrogant Poison Star’s energy to create a Poison Field before it fell!
Thinking of this, Zhao Chuanyu no longer hesitated and issued the command: “Toxic Sludge, all of it!”
“Aoao!”
Arrogant Poison Star let out a loud cry upon hearing its Yu Beast Master’s words, removed its Light Wall, and a large amount of incredibly viscous toxic liquid was immediately released outwards from its five horns.
Snowflakes fell on its body, and the chill slowly condensed into the shape of ice flowers.
Arrogant Poison Star shivered, but its eyes were exceptionally serious.
Blackish-purple toxic liquid continuously sprayed onto the ground.
The blue light dissipated at this moment. Lu Bao looked at the toxic liquid that already filled more than half of the arena, immediately became alert, and quickly retreated several steps to the uncorrupted part of the arena behind it.
Toxic Sludge, a high-tier Poison-type skill, can reduce the opponent’s attack and speed… Normal Toxic Sludge doesn’t have this much volume; this guy wants to fill the entire arena with Toxic Sludge… No, it must be interrupted… Otherwise, if this continues, not only the air but also the ground will be filled with severe poison… Qiao Sang’s heart tightened. She looked at Lu Bao, who had just recovered, and quickly said:
“Water Gun!”
Water Gun wasn’t very powerful, but it could be cast instantly, making it ideal for interrupting an opponent.
“Hold on! Continue using Toxic Sludge!” After Qiao Sang spoke, Zhao Chuanyu immediately followed with his command.
Lu Bao opened its mouth, and a thick blue Water Gun immediately shot towards Arrogant Poison Star.
At this moment, its Yu Beast Master’s command reached Arrogant Poison Star’s ears. Arrogant Poison Star, which had instinctively wanted to dodge, its eyes became firm, and it continued to lower its head and spray large amounts of Toxic Sludge onto the ground.
“Bang!”
The Water Gun directly hit Arrogant Poison Star head-on.
Arrogant Poison Star was pushed back several meters by the impact.
As it retreated, it gritted its teeth, condensed energy, and continued to release Toxic Sludge.
It was at this moment that a new round of snowflakes fell.
Almost instantly, ice flowers grew one after another on Arrogant Poison Star’s body. Within a few breaths, it maintained the posture of releasing Toxic Sludge with its five horns forward, transforming into an ice sculpture covered in ice flowers.
“Qu!”
The whistle blew.
Qiao Sang frowned slightly, not relaxing because she had won the first match.
Her expression involuntarily became solemn as she looked at the arena in front of her.
The air above the arena was filled with black poisonous gas, and the ground was almost entirely covered by toxic sludge because Arrogant Poison Star had persisted in releasing it even while being attacked.
The air, the ground, all were severely poisonous.
Lu Bao’s tail stiffly curled up, and it raised its left front paw, shaking it with a look of disgust.
Qiao Sang took a deep breath, waved her hand, and recalled Lu Bao into the yu beast codex.
At the same time, a wave of uproar erupted in the stands.
“Ah ah ah! Ice Kexilu is mighty! Qiao Sang is mighty!”
“What the heck, I thought Zhao Chuanyu was so amazing, but he still lost.”
“What do you know? Zhao Chuanyu has a big-picture view. Didn’t you see that this arena has become a Poison Field? No matter who Qiao Sang sends out next, their strength will be greatly reduced as soon as they enter, and then Scarlet Horned Dragon will just wreak havoc.”
“The arena is so contaminated, aren’t they going to change it?” Jin Feifan heard the surrounding conversations, and his originally excited mood involuntarily cooled down. He gathered his courage and turned to ask.
“Of course they won’t change it. Do you know what 2V2 is? The first Pet can completely create an advantage in the arena for the second Pet,” someone next to him said.
“But, if the first match severely damages the arena, aren’t they always supposed to change it?” Concerned about the direction of the match, Jin Feifan was no longer socially awkward and continued to ask.
The person next to him shrugged: “That’s arena damage; this is arena setup. How could they be the same?”
Jin Feifan asked in confusion: “But Zhao Chuanyu’s next Pet is Scarlet Horned Dragon, which isn’t Poison-type. Shouldn’t this poisonous gas and toxic sludge also affect it?”
The person next to her looked at her, a smirk playing on their lips:
“Zhao Chuanyu’s Scarlet Horned Dragon has the Immunity characteristic.”
