Chapter 604: Gray dauber

Steel Treasure’s expression quickly turned bewildered.

How did they end up in District 27?

Qiao Sang seemed to know what Steel Treasure was thinking and explained, “There’s a class we have to attend here.”

Upon hearing this, Steel Treasure showed a thoughtful expression.

After spending this time together, Qiao Sang didn’t understand Steel Treasure 100%, but she was at about 70% understanding.

Seeing Steel Treasure’s expression, she keenly sensed its thoughts.

Qiao Sang said, “Don’t even think about secretly running back home.”

“Steel Treasure?”

Steel Treasure gave a look that said, “How could you possibly think that?”

“Stop pretending.” Qiao Sang laughed, “I know you too well. Besides, didn’t you tell me you wanted to go home before?”

“Steel Treasure…”

Steel Treasure looked embarrassed; it hadn’t expected to be seen through.

Immediately, it wanted to explain that it just wanted to go back for a look and would return later.

But just then, Qiao Sang spoke up, “If you want to go back, go back openly. I’ll go with you to take a look.”

Since Steel Treasure had the idea of going home, it might as well fulfill its wish, lest it decide not to come back once it got there. If it ran too far, her mind wouldn’t be able to sense it, so it was better to go back with it.

After all, Steel Treasure was a Pet with a strong will of its own. Even if she didn’t let it go back, there was a high chance it would sneak back to see for itself.

After all, it had traveled alone from District 27 all the way to the Third District, so this possibility was simply too great.

“Steel Treasure…”

Steel Treasure was stunned, showing an expression that asked, “Really?”

“Why would I lie to you?” Qiao Sang smiled, “My words are quite trustworthy, aren’t they?”

“Steel Treasure…”

Steel Treasure subconsciously glanced at Ya Bao.

Ya Bao blinked, not understanding why.

“Steel Treasure!”

Steel Treasure withdrew its gaze and, going against its conscience, nodded.

Regardless of anything else, it believed that on this matter, its Yu Beast Master was not lying to it.

“Then let’s quickly pass the exam first.” Qiao Sang said, pulling out her phone and checking the navigation, “Xiao Xunbao, move 1 kilometer straight ahead first!”

The teacher only said to go from here to Awu Avenue 106; there was no strict requirement on how to get there. This was the main reason Qiao Sang was confident that after the exam, she would still have time to accompany Steel Treasure home.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao chirped, its eyes glowing blue.

The next second, Qiao Sang, riding on Ya Bao’s back, was 200 meters up in the air.

Then, 400 meters, 600 meters, 800 meters…

Soon, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao became a dot and disappeared into the sky.

With Xiao Xunbao’s current energy and proficiency in Space Movement, it wasn’t impossible to move several targets together directly 1 kilometer away. However, if the destination was out of sight, precise coordinates were needed. Xiao Xunbao was here for the first time and wasn’t very familiar with the terrain, so Qiao Sang wasn’t very keen on taking risks.

Intermittent movements of 200 meters at a time were just right; they allowed for quick displacement while ensuring the direction wouldn’t be wrong.

“Guei!”

Guei Man Weng was startled when its protected target suddenly vanished, then frantically ran and chased below, anxious.

But there were too many obstacles on the ground, and Guei Man Weng watched helplessly as its protected target disappeared from its sight.

…

“Now move 2.4 kilometers to the left.” Qiao Sang said, looking at the navigation.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded and obediently changed direction.

Continuous Space Movement did not change Qiao Sang’s expression at all. When prepared, she was actually somewhat numb to the negative effects of Space Movement.

Along the way, Qiao Sang overtook many classmates who were riding Flying-type Pets, including Tang Yi.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Five minutes later, Xiao Xunbao wiped away the non-existent sweat from its forehead, then took off its ring and skillfully pulled out a bottle of B-grade energy recovery fluid to drink.

Space Movement was a high-level skill, and using it so many times consecutively, Xiao Xunbao was indeed feeling weak.

“Let’s rest for a bit.” Qiao Sang said upon seeing this.

Now they were less than six kilometers from Awu Avenue 106. As long as nothing went wrong, they would arrive very soon.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded vigorously.

It floated onto Ya Bao’s body, lay on its back, and drank the B-grade energy recovery fluid while admiring the clear blue sky.

“Steel Treasure…”

Steel Treasure flew next to Xiao Xunbao and lay down, also looking at the sky.

It felt like it hadn’t relaxed like this in a long time…

Just then, a bird-type Pet, over three meters tall, with extremely rich and beautiful feathers that seemed to shimmer in the sunlight, flapped its wings and elegantly flew by about six meters above Ya Bao.

As it flew past, it glanced at Ya Bao, then seemingly indifferently, withdrew its gaze.

Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded:

“Gray Daub Finch, a Flying-type High-level Pet. Its entire body is gray and has no special features, but they like to apply various colors to themselves or pick up feathers from other Pets to stick on themselves because they think they are not very good-looking.”

“Studies have shown that the uglier a Gray Daub Finch is, the more it likes to apply various colors to itself.”

“Steel Treasure!” Steel Treasure suddenly stood up, its expression panicked, wanting to turn off the Pet Identifier in Xiao Xunbao’s hand.

Unfortunately, this was its first time encountering this device, and it didn’t know how to use it.

The mechanical voice continued to broadcast slowly:

“If you encounter a Gray Daub Finch with colorful feathers, it is definitely very ugly. This type of Gray Daub Finch has strong self-esteem, so it is recommended not to spray any Water-type skills on it, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable.”

The bird Pet, which was elegantly Flying, suddenly stiffened.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of sudden realization; so all those beautiful feathers on this guy were dyed.

“Steel Treasure…”

Steel Treasure silently covered its face with its wings.

With strong self-esteem, now that its dyed feathers were exposed directly in front of it, would something bad happen… Qiao Sang looked at the Gray Daub Finch that had stopped Flying nearby, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.

The next second, the premonition came true.

The Gray Daub Finch turned its head, revealing an expression of恼羞成怒.

Without another word, it powerfully flapped its wings, and dozens of sharp blades condensed from air immediately struck towards Ya Bao’s location.

Ya Bao reacted quickly, opening its mouth.

A rotating, scorching flame suddenly shot out from its throat.

“Boom!”

The two forces collided and exploded in the air, and the air violently fluctuated with the shockwave.

“Gray Daub!”

When the thick mist dispersed, the Gray Daub Finch raised its head and let out an extremely high-pitched cry.

“Gray Daub!”

“Gray Daub!”

As if responding to it, calls of “Gray Daub” suddenly came from all directions, an unending chorus.

No way… Qiao Sang’s heart involuntarily quickened as she looked around.

She saw Gray Daub Finches, one after another, rapidly approaching from far and near, forming an encirclement.
