Chapter 605: Such a coincidence? (Fifth update added for the leader of the wide-brimmed bowler hat)

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

If you can’t win, you call for help? That’s so dishonorable!

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao bared his fangs, a look of eagerness on his face.

Qiao Sang sensed Ya Bao’s state and was startled, thinking, ‘Gray Daub Finch is a High-level Pet, and you’re still so excited when surrounded by a group of High-level Pets?’

Just as Ya Bao was gathering energy, preparing for a big fight, Qiao Sang called out loudly:

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao instantly understood her Yu Beast Master’s meaning. Its eyes glowed blue, and the energy within its body circulated wildly.

The next second, it disappeared from the spot, taking its Yu Beast Master, Ya Bao, and Steel Treasure with it.

Qiao Sang’s vision went black, and when light returned, she found herself in a jungle.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao’s voice sounded beside her.

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw him with droopy ears, looking disappointed.

Xiao Xunbao lay slumped on Ya Bao’s back, looking like “I can’t go on.”

Steel Treasure, however, was the most energetic, flapping its wings and constantly surveying the surrounding scenery, its expression even subtly excited.

Qiao Sang took a moment to recover, then pulled out her phone and opened the navigation.

A mechanical female voice sounded:

“You have deviated from the route and a new route is being planned for you. Please make a U-turn at a suitable location. This is a wild Pet habitat, with a danger rating of four stars. Please leave immediately. You are still 21 kilometers from your destination, Awu Avenue 106.”

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao with a shocked expression:

“You actually moved so far away in one go?!”

Xiao Xunbao couldn’t even lift its eyelids.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

It weakly cried out, indicating that it had used up all its energy for this escape…

You don’t have to go that far… Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched.

“You should drink some energy recovery fluid to recover first,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t even have the strength to nod. It cried out, indicating that it had no energy now and would move later.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang formed hand seals, and an orange-yellow star array lit up on the ground, from which Lu Bao’s figure emerged.

Without her Yu Beast Master needing to speak, Lu Bao glanced around and knew that Xiao Xunbao was in trouble.

“Ice Ke.”

The gem on its forehead emitted a blue light that shone on Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

When the blue light dissipated, Xiao Xunbao had already returned to its energetic state.

The weakness from energy depletion faded, but the energy had not yet recovered.

Xiao Xunbao got up, eagerly taking off its ring to retrieve energy recovery fluid from inside.

Suddenly, the sound of rustling leaves abruptly sounded.

Qiao Sang vigilantly observed the surroundings and said, “Ya Bao, Lu Bao, pay attention. Our safety depends on you two.”

Xiao Xunbao currently has no energy and is still fragile. It can’t do much if a wild Pet appears.

Steel Treasure is a Beginner Pet. Just now, a whole group of High-level Pet Gray Daub Finches appeared. Now that they were in a wild Pet habitat, Qiao Sang subconsciously didn’t include its combat power.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao’s ears perked up, instantly forgetting his previous disappointment about not having a big fight, and his expression became excited.

“Ice Ke.”

Lu Bao’s expression didn’t change much, but its eyes scanned the surroundings warily.

The sound of rustling leaves stopped, and a green insect-type Pet, only about twenty centimeters in size, slowly crawled down from a nearby tree.

It was only halfway down when it saw Ya Bao and the others.

The green insect-type Pet stopped crawling.

After three seconds, it turned around and slowly crawled back up.

So it was just a Beginner Pet… Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let’s go,” Qiao Sang said, flipping onto Ya Bao’s back.

Although Xiao Xunbao had no energy for Space Movement, Ya Bao could still move.

As she spoke, Qiao Sang raised her hand, making a waving gesture, intending to recall Lu Bao into the yu beast codex.

“Steel!”

But at that moment, Steel Treasure excitedly cried out, indicating that its home was right here.

Qiao Sang stopped her action, full of surprise: “What a coincidence?”

“Steel!”

Steel Treasure nodded, it was indeed such a coincidence!

She hadn’t expected Steel Treasure’s home to be here… If she were to accompany Steel Treasure to find its group now, and time was delayed here, then she probably wouldn’t even think about the points for the top three in this class… But if she went to Awu Avenue 106 first, it felt like destiny had already brought her here… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then looked up and saw Steel Treasure’s expectant expression. She no longer hesitated and smiled:

“Then let’s go back to your home first.”

Forget it, Xiao Xunbao’s energy wouldn’t recover anytime soon, and they were so far from their destination now. Others wouldn’t be as unlucky as her to encounter a group of Gray Daub Finches…

As she thought of this, Qiao Sang’s thoughts suddenly diverged.

According to the original navigation route to Awu Avenue 106, everyone taking the air route should have roughly the same path. She had already caught up with many people earlier, and their routes were all consistent. When they caught up, would they happen to encounter that group of Gray Daub Finches…

It shouldn’t be that unlucky, right…? Qiao Sang silently denied it.

Others wouldn’t be as unlucky as her. Even if they encountered some accidents on the way, it was impossible for them to deviate from the original route like her.

Now, everyone had probably completed a third of the journey. Without Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement, even if she left immediately, she would likely not be as fast as them. It was better to stay and resolve Steel Treasure’s matter first.

“Steel!”

Steel Treasure’s eyes lit up, flapping its wings, no longer restraining itself, and happily cried out.

…

A gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves and scattering patches of light on the ground.

Many small Pets hid in the grass or among the leaves, watching this group of outsiders.

Steel Treasure led the way.

Qiao Sang rode on Ya Bao’s back, following.

Lu Bao was also beside them.

Qiao Sang did not recall Lu Bao into the yu beast codex.

In a place teeming with wild Pets like this, if anything happened, she didn’t know if summoning a Pet would be quick enough. It was better to have Lu Bao follow directly.

Furthermore, there was no one around, and Lu Bao was also willing to move about in such an environment.

There were no dangers along the way. Most of the wild Pets they encountered were small to medium-sized. Upon seeing Ya Bao and Lu Bao, they knew they were more powerful beings and respectfully made way.

After walking for about ten minutes, dozens of plant roots suddenly wrapped themselves wildly from the front.

“Icy Wind!” Qiao Sang, who had been alert to her surroundings, quickly issued the command upon seeing this.

Lu Bao opened its mouth, and a visible blast of cold air suddenly shot out.

The cold air quickly spread forward in a fan shape, freezing everything in its path.

Dozens of plant roots all stopped in their tracks, covered in a layer of ice.

At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded:

“He Chui Miao, a Grass-type low-level Pet. It usually disguises itself as grass and hates water. If it starts to rain, it will disappear without a trace.”

Qiao Sang seemed to realize something and turned her head.

She saw Xiao Xunbao holding a small green Pet that looked very much like grass with one paw, and a Pet Identifier with the other.

“He Chui!”

An angry voice came from the front.

Accompanied by “thump-thump” footsteps, a Pet over three meters tall, mostly green, and resembling a tree, appeared on the path ahead.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao’s curiosity was piqued, and it aimed the Pet Identifier in its hand at the Pet in front.

“He Chui Tree, a Grass-type High-level Pet. It usually disguises itself as a tree. It has a peaceful disposition and will not actively attack. Sometimes, it will even occasionally guide lost people.” The Pet Identifier quickly reported the information of the Pet in front of them.

He Chui Miao? He Chui Tree? Qiao Sang looked at the He Chui Miao still in Xiao Xunbao’s hand, her eyelids twitched, and she suddenly understood something.

PS: I’m here!
