Chapter 652: secondary eruption

The tourists, who had originally been drawn to the battle, immediately showed astonished expressions and shifted their gaze upon seeing the mysterious Pet suddenly appear above the volcano.

“Why did it teleport to the volcano?”

“It seems this Pet’s initial target was Ke Te Ya Volcano!”

“What is it doing at the volcano?”

“I know a little; it seems that Ke Te Ya Volcano, when it erupts at night, spews out a rare material. Is it going for that material?”

“Isn’t it all just lava? Where would a rare material come from?”

“I’m not sure about that.”

At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice rang out:

“Just now, there was a girl over there shouting ’teleport,’ and then that Pet really did teleport. Do you think she might be that Pet’s Yu Beast Master?”

More than one person had heard the previous voice.

Immediately, someone among the tourists echoed:

“I heard it too!”

“Me too!”

“It seems to be that black-haired girl with a backpack, who looks like she’s from the Dragon Kingdom!” One of the tourists pointed in a direction.

Many people, with curious and envious gazes, looked towards the young girl not far away who was staring at the volcano.

“She, how did she make her Pet teleport over to the volcano?” McCarthy was dumbfounded.

This move would directly draw the attention of the official personnel to the volcano!

How was he going to let his Lava Beast sneak in then!

“Never mind that,” Fei Lao Er analyzed, “Someone has already made a move. You take off your Lava Beast’s identification bracelet. These official personnel won’t see the identification bracelet, and they’re preoccupied with other matters, so they won’t be distracted by a Pet without an identification bracelet.”

McCarthy heard this, thought it made sense, and nodded, “I understand.”

…

Above the volcano.

“Ya?”

Ya baobao tilted its head, showing a confused expression.

At the same time, Qiao Sang was very bewildered.

Why hadn’t Ya baobao evolved?

Wait, the Point seems not to have been filled yet… Qiao Sang realized this and immediately wanted to enter the yu beast codex.

But just then, a slightly familiar voice came from above:

“Is that Pet that teleported to the volcano yours?”

Qiao Sang looked up.

She recognized the speaker as the official personnel who had warned her not long ago to retreat 200 meters for safety.

Qiao Sang’s heart tightened. She remembered the conversation of the two people behind her, who said that the official personnel gathered here were ostensibly protecting tourists, but in reality, they were preventing others from taking ghost fire paste.

Why not just be direct about it?

Anyway, she was doing it for evolution, and Pet evolution was a big deal. It was unavoidable that Ya baobao needed to be close to the volcano to evolve. Even if the official personnel came to inquire, she would be in the right.

It was true that she wanted ghost fire paste, but she hadn’t made a move yet.

“It’s mine,” Qiao Sang nodded.

“Don’t you know that during a volcanic eruption, it’s stipulated that no one or any Pet can approach the volcano?” The man frowned.

Qiao Sang pretended to be surprised, “Ah, it’s my first time here, I didn’t know about this rule.”

How could this child’s parents be… The man remembered the girl holding her Pet and believed her without any doubt. He said sternly:

“Pets are not allowed near the volcano during an eruption. Quickly summon your Pet back.”

Qiao Sang opened her mouth, just about to mention that Ya baobao’s evolution required being near the volcano.

But just as she uttered a single word, a black Shadow Ball suddenly struck the Sharp-Beaked Firebird from the side.

Immediately after, a purple figure appeared in front of the Sharp-Beaked Firebird, raised its claws, and cleanly and decisively tore downwards.

The speed of this figure was too fast. The Sharp-Beaked Firebird had no chance to resist and fell downwards after a pained cry.

“Dark Shadow Control,” Qiao Sang quickly said, seeing the man also falling.

“Xiao Xunbao ~”

Xiao Xunbao extended its short digits, and a black shadow, like a black ribbon, emerged from the ground, extended forward, and quickly wrapped around the man’s ankle, pulling him over.

The man fell to the ground for less than a second, then quickly scrambled up, waved his hand, and summoned the falling Sharp-Beaked Firebird back.

“Thank you,” the man looked at Qiao Sang with a complicated expression.

He never expected that one day he would be saved by someone who looked like an underage child.

Qiao Sang ignored him and looked at the purple Pet in front of her.

The black Ghost-type Pet in the sky was still battling, and this was another Ghost-type Pet… Qiao Sang immediately became alert and was about to have Xiao Xunbao and the others make a move.

But to her surprise, the purple Pet in front of her glanced at her, then turned and floated towards the center of the battle in the sky.

Qiao Sang: “???”

Not far away, a woman with most of her face covered by her jacket’s high collar frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

She had clearly seen that man interacting with this child earlier. This child had a Ghost-type Pet, and she even had her other Pet lead the charge. She should have been with them, so why would she save an official personnel?

Could it be that she had been meddling just now?

Qiao Sang had no idea that the attack just now was made by the other party with the intention of helping her. She looked back in Ya baobao’s direction.

She saw Ya baobao above the volcano, staring blankly downwards, wondering what it was thinking.

It wouldn’t be thinking of going down, would it… Qiao Sang shivered, immediately wanting to enter the yu beast codex to avoid any accidents.

Just at this moment, the man beside her spoke again:

“Quickly summon your Pet back. We’ve detected that the volcano is very likely to have a secondary eruption tonight. The temperature will be unbearable even for Fire-type Pets, let alone your Superpower System Pet.”

As he spoke, he formed hand seals, and a green star array lit up. An eagle-type Pet, about three meters tall, mostly brown with a light pink beak, appeared in the star array.

The man flipped onto the eagle-type Pet and said:

“I need to go help now. After you summon your Pet back, leave here quickly.”

With that, the eagle-type Pet flapped its wings and flew towards the center of the battle in the sky.

…

At the same time.

At the volcano.

A Pet, about three meters tall, entirely red, with a body made of lava, black eyes, and a pair of flame-shaped antennae on its head, slowly appeared at the volcano’s mouth and began to crawl towards the center of the volcano, which was still continuously spewing lava.

“Ya?”

Ya baobao looked at that Pet.

“Lava.”

The Lava Beast slightly raised its head and let out a cry, indicating, ‘Don’t make a sound, we’re on the same side.’

Ya baobao: “???”

Who are you? Who’s on the same side as you?

Just as Ya baobao was confused, it felt a force from beneath the volcano, as if urging it to enter.

“Ya ya…”

Ya baobao forgot about the Lava Beast’s existence and once again stared at the boiling volcano.

Go in…

Want to go in…

Although the Lava Beast was almost indistinguishable from the lava, Ya baobao’s presence still drew the attention of many people to this area.

The moment Ya baobao cried out, someone discovered the Lava Beast’s presence.

In the sky, several official personnel who still had strength left observed the volcano’s activity while battling.

“Why did a Lava Beast go in?”

“This Lava Beast doesn’t seem to have an identification bracelet.”

“I remember there are no wild Lava Beasts around Ke Te Ya Volcano.”

“No identification bracelet is fine. There are so many wild Pets; how can we manage all of them?”

“But…”

The official personnel with a round face, who had questioned the absence of wild Lava Beasts around Ke Te Ya, wanted to say more, but just then, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a chilling aura inexplicably swept over.

Behind them, dozens of ghostly green ghost fire rapidly attacked.

The Sharp-Beaked Firebird realized the danger and flew diagonally downwards, drawing a precise arc in the air, skillfully dodging the attack.

With this distraction, the official personnel with the round face had no choice but to focus on the battle, forgetting what he had originally intended to say.

“Are you alright?” The man in a black windbreaker, who had just arrived, flew beside him and asked.

“I’m fine,” the round-faced official personnel said.

Then he thought of something and asked:

“How is it? Was that person caught?”

“That’s just a child, not with this group of people,” the man explained. “It’s her first time here; she just came to see the volcanic eruption and doesn’t know the rule about not approaching the volcano. I think her Pet is just curious, having never seen this before.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already told her, and she’ll summon it back.”

The round-faced official personnel said nothing more upon hearing this.

…

On the other side.

Fei Lao Er and McCarthy hid in the shadows, observing the situation.

Seeing that the official personnel indeed couldn’t spare their hands to deal with the Lava Beast, McCarthy was delighted:

“You’re still the smart one, knowing to go at this time.”

Fei Lao Er watched the Lava Beast disappear into the volcano from afar, letting out a sigh of relief:

“Now I just hope there’s the ghost fire paste I need down there.”

“Don’t worry,” McCarthy said with a smile, still keeping an eye on the volcano, “There are two volcanic eruptions tonight, so the chance of ghost fire paste appearing is much higher than usual; there definitely will be… Oh my god!”

McCarthy’s face was filled with shock: “How did that Pet go down too?!”

Fei Lao Er was equally shocked.

The Pet that had led the charge, initially attracting the official personnel, plunged straight into the volcano!

Wasn’t that a Superpower System Pet?

One must know, this was a volcano that had just finished erupting!

The temperature at this time would be unbearable even for Fire-type Pets!

Fei Lao Er suddenly remembered something and abruptly turned to look at the young girl in the distance.

Upon seeing the girl’s appearance, Fei Lao Er was bewildered.

She wasn’t managing her Pet, what was she doing with her eyes closed?

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

Fei Lao Er instantly forgot about the girl and stared intently at Ke Te Ya Volcano.

He understood that the volcano was about to erupt a second time.

…

[Level: High Level (100000 / 100000) +]

Just as Ya baobao rushed into the volcano, Qiao Sang, as if having a premonition, surprisingly felt no particular surprise.

Ya baobao had been staring blankly into the volcano just now, and she had already sensed that something was wrong.

Qiao Sang did not waste a second and entered the yu beast codex.

The species name related to [Flame Qilu] was much more stable than before, but it was still flickering.

Qiao Sang ignored this and frantically added Points.

As the data behind the level was filled, [Flame Qilu] lit up brightly!

Qiao Sang was almost blinded by the light in front of her.

She opened her eyes, her consciousness returning to reality.

…

Volcano center.

The Lava Beast, which had just collected some ghost fire paste, was caught by the sudden volcanic eruption and was directly spewed upwards along with the lava.

Terrifying and massive lava surged upwards, covering everything.

Before fainting, the Lava Beast seemed to see a white light.

“Ya ya…”

The white light dispersed. Ya baobao, whose appearance had drastically changed, suddenly sensed something and looked upwards, just in time to see the unconscious Lava Beast.

It remembered this guy saying it was on its side…

“Ya!”

Ya baobao’s huge wings flapped. It no longer stabilized its body but used the force of the lava eruption to transform into a fiery light, rushing upwards!

As it passed the Lava Beast, it casually grabbed it.

…

Around the volcano, most of the tourists were once again drawn to the volcanic eruption.

The official personnel who were battling also had to stop fighting.

Many people saw the mysterious Pet rushing into the volcano.

“It’s over, it’s over. I didn’t expect that Pet to be gone before I even knew its name.”

“It must be crazy! Why did it rush into the volcano!”

“How would I know!”

“Holy cow! What, what kind of Pet is this again?!”

The scorching lava was like flames spewing from the gates of hell, incinerating everything around it.

But from within this calamitous lava, a red figure about six meters tall, with huge flaming wings, burst out!

Its imposing aura almost stunned everyone present.

This was another Pet they had never seen before!

“Ya baobao…”

Only Qiao Sang recognized it at a glance; this was her Ya baobao.

PS: Why was it late? Because I had to finish writing the evolution!
