Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 549: Little Treasure Hunt VS Vine King
A collective gasp rose from the audience, and everyone present was stunned.
Frida lost? Just like that, defeated by a simple Hypnosis?
And Qiao Sang’s Pet.
Pets with two attributes are common, but Pets with both Ghost-type and Superpower System attributes are extremely rare, truly one of a kind.
Even if this Pet had no premium items or Spiritual Marks, its attributes alone made it incredibly powerful.
At the same time, they all recalled Qiao Sang’s previous magnificent Pet.
Fire-type and Superpower System, it had both offense and control, not to mention its impressive appearance, and it could even be ridden into the sky—it was practically the dream Pet for most people.
What kind of background does someone need to be able to contract these two Pets?
For a moment, except for those who bet 1:3 and were wailing in despair, everyone else showed great interest in Qiao Sang.
“Who is this child? Even nobles might not be able to acquire these two Pets, right?”
“She’s definitely not from our Third District; we don’t have such amazing children in our Third District.”
“Forget the Third District, just with these two Pets, I don’t even think she’s from our Super Dormant Star.”
“Indeed, you can’t judge a Pet by its appearance. I originally thought this Pet was a Mid-level Pet, but it actually controlled all the Fire Flame Fox’s fireballs, which shocked me. And that Hypnosis, I still can’t figure out what level of Hypnosis could directly hypnotize the Fire Flame Fox?”
“Perfected or Profound Meaning, perhaps.”
“Shouldn’t the focus be on that last move, Dark Shadow Control?”
“Exactly, a three-dimensional Dark Shadow Control; it must be at least Great Accomplishment.”
“Speaking of that, I just want to laugh; such a high-level skill was used to block ears.”
Meanwhile, on the Commentator’s stand, the Commentator exclaimed:
“It seems we have greatly underestimated Player Qiao Sang’s strength. This Pet, whose name is also unknown, has trained both its Superpower and Hypnosis, as well as its final Dark Shadow Control, to a very high level of proficiency.”
“That’s right.” Wang Xuezhi said seriously, “I’ve seen many High-level Pets of the Superpower System, and their Superpower isn’t enough to control that many fireballs.”
“And that Hypnosis. Frida clearly didn’t prepare any items or Spiritual Marks for her Pet in this arena challenge. If her next Pet’s willpower isn’t strong, I highly suspect Frida will still lose to Hypnosis in the next match.”
Hypnosis… Frida heard this and remained silent for a long time. She pursed her lips, waved her hand, and recalled the fallen Fire Flame Fox into her yu beast codex.
At this moment, the prompt for summoning a Pet for the third round came from the arena.
Everyone immediately stopped their discussions.
Frida formed hand seals, and a Pet, mostly green with five vine-like fingers and short, thick legs, appeared in the arena.
Grass-type Pet… Qiao Sang glanced at the distant Pet’s appearance and immediately made a judgment.
The Commentator’s voice sounded at the opportune moment: “Frida’s third Pet is the Vine King. I wonder if it can withstand the Hypnosis that instantly put the Fire Flame Fox to sleep.”
He didn’t realize that he had gone from initially believing Frida would win to now even doubting if she could handle a simple Hypnosis.
Soon, the countdown to the start of the match began.
Three seconds later, Frida’s expression was serious, and she immediately shouted loudly:
“Use Spikes on the ground!”
“Manman!”
Hearing this, the Vine King quickly extended its ten fingers towards the ground.
Spikes shot out from them, deeply embedding themselves into more than half of the arena in front of it, with only half remaining above the surface.
“What is Frida trying to do?” Seeing this, the Commentator looked puzzled.
While speaking, Xiao Xunbao disappeared into thin air from the arena and reappeared in front of the Vine King, which was still casting Spikes.
“Xiao Xunbao ~”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.
“Vine…”
The Vine King’s eyes uncontrollably wanted to close, and its body leaned forward.
Frida saw this and gave no commands.
Her expression was serious as she stared at the arena, but inwardly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn’t know the proficiency level of this Ghost-type Pet’s Hypnosis, no matter how powerful the Hypnosis, as long as the body felt intense pain, it would wake up. That’s why she had the Vine King use Spikes to pierce the ground from the start, so that when it fell, it would be pierced and wake itself up.
This Ghost-type Pet has Superpower System attributes and can teleport, approaching at any time to cast Hypnosis, so these Spikes had to be prepared immediately.
The Hypnosis came a bit faster than she expected, but fortunately, the Spikes were almost done casting, and the Vine King would be pierced as soon as it fell.
Once it woke up, it would be time to counterattack!
By this point, the Commentator, who had commentated countless matches, also saw through Frida’s intention.
He exclaimed, “As expected of someone who ranked 13th in last year’s D-level Beastmaster Arena Challenge, she had it all planned from the beginning…”
The Commentator’s voice abruptly stopped.
He stared blankly at the arena, his mouth forming an “O” shape.
The Vine King, just 0.01 centimeters from the ground’s Spikes, suddenly maintained its tilted posture, its upper body suspended in mid-air, unable to fall any further!
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue, and it patted its chest with its paws, showing a “that was close” expression.
Good thing it acted fast, otherwise the opponent wouldn’t be able to sleep well.
Looking at the Vine King again, its eyes were tightly closed, drool flowing from the corner of its mouth, already in a state of peaceful sleep!
Frida: “!!!”
This… The Commentator suddenly realized something and praised sincerely:
“This Ghost-type Pet’s reaction speed is incredibly fast! It promptly converted Hypnosis into Superpower, preventing the Vine King from being pierced by the Spikes.”
“Vine King! Wake up!” Frida roared.
There’s still a chance! As long as she can wake up the Vine King! This Superpower System Pet is currently using Superpower; it can’t block its ears with Dark Shadow Control like in the previous round!
In the audience, some of Frida’s fans couldn’t help but shout encouragement.
Again… Qiao Sang said helplessly:
“Block them.”
“Xun ~”
Xiao Xunbao let out a cry, indicating it understood.
The next second, the Vine King’s claws uncontrollably lifted, extending its vine-like fingers, and it blocked its own ears.
Frida: “!!!”
Audience: “…”
Ten seconds ended.
At the same time, the final match results appeared on the large virtual screen in the back row:
[Qiao Sang VS Frida, 3:1]
“Xiao Xunbao ~”
Xiao Xunbao raised its paws high, signaling to the audience that they could cheer.
Qiao Sang said with a laugh, “Let’s go.”
“Xun ~”
Xiao Xunbao quickly stopped showing off and teleported to its Yu Beast Master’s side.
Qiao Sang walked down the command platform.
A Staff quickly caught up: “Miss Qiao Sang, are you not competing anymore?”
“No more,” Qiao Sang said.
It was already late; it was Ya Bao’s bedtime.
Seeing this, the audience temporarily forgot to discuss the recently concluded match and began to talk about Qiao Sang leaving.
“Why did she leave?”
“I don’t know either.”
“Didn’t she win?”
“Maybe she feels she’s already today’s arena king and doesn’t want to continue.”
“Darn it! Frida was too weak! I still wanted to see Qiao Sang’s third Pet.”
As everyone was discussing, a Middle-aged Man hurried over and blocked Qiao Sang’s path:
“Miss Qiao Sang, I am Jude, the person in charge here.”
Qiao Sang was first startled, then she seemed to realize something, her eyes lit up, and she asked, “Are you here to tell me how much money I earned today?”
Jude: “…”
