Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 720: Sand Dragon
The falling snow abruptly stopped.
However, it was already too late; Qiao Sang was covered in Ice Flowers and frozen in place, like an ice sculpture.
“Ice Ke!”
Xiao Xunbao’s expression changed drastically, and it anxiously circled its Yu Beast Master.
The lingering despair from the past two days had indeed affected Xiao Xunbao, making its emotions easily fluctuate and preventing it from remaining calm as before.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao, who had instinctively Space Moved out of the snowflake range when it sensed something was wrong, Space Moved back. It extended its paw and called out, indicating not to worry, it had a solution.
With that, it raised its paw.
A thick, white energy instantly condensed on its paw.
Ah, so it wasn’t real snow, but the Ice Flower Seal cast by Xiao Xunbao… What the heck! Wait! Stop it! You little guy, you’re actually going to use Chop! Just let Xiao Xunbao use Healing Light! Don’t use Chop! Qiao Sang’s mind was filled with “What the heck,” and she roared internally.
Although she was frozen and unable to move, her consciousness was still clear.
Her mind could still think, and she could see everything happening outside the ice shell.
When she saw Xiao Xunbao using Chop, she almost spat blood.
What if it didn’t Chop properly and cracked her open?!
Just as Qiao Sang was on the verge of a mental breakdown, the sandy ground suddenly burst open, and four thick, snake-like thorny vines abruptly appeared, striking towards Xiao Xunbao and Xiao Xunbao.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao had no choice but to stop its Chop attack. Its claw tips quickly conjured two Dark Shadows, binding its frozen Yu Beast Master, and Space Moved ten meters away, dodging the thorny vine attack.
“Ice Ke!”
Xiao Xunbao rapidly retreated two steps. A cold light appeared, and its claw blades crossed, precisely cutting the thorny vines in front of it.
The thorny vines fell to the ground.
Xiao Xunbao looked angrily at the three figures approaching from the sky, realizing that the one in the center was the same target it had attacked earlier.
Although I don’t know what your names are, thank you… Qiao Sang was almost moved to tears.
“Xun!”
“Xun!”
The small green Pet in the C position, noticeably smaller than the two beside it, cried out twice like a child complaining.
“Xun.”
The expressions of the two slightly older green Pets beside it grew increasingly angry as they listened.
Their wings simultaneously retracted backward, and a gust of rampant Typhoon instantly rose, sweeping through the surrounding plants.
Within several hundred meters, smaller, visibly low to mid-level wild Pets were startled and scurried away.
Immediately after, a green light emanated from their bodies, and they synchronously dived down from high in the sky.
“Ice Ke!”
Seeing this, Xiao Xunbao did not retreat. It stared intently at the two attacking Pets, and a massive current of water surged around its body.
But just then, the two green Pets, who were diving down, seemed to sense something. Their breathing suddenly became rapid, they stopped their attack, flapped their wings, and remained suspended in mid-air, without making any roars, but just hovering there.
At this moment, in front of Xiao Xunbao, a Pet about six meters tall, mostly dark gray, wearing a golden crown on its head, and emanating a powerful aura, was coldly looking at them.
Uh, Dark Shadow… Don’t say it, it really looks the part… Qiao Sang muttered to herself as she looked at the huge figure in front of her.
“Ice Ke…”
Xiao Xunbao recognized the figure in front of it. It froze for a moment, the water current on its body dissipated, and it turned its head to look at the normal-sized Xiao Xunbao next to its Yu Beast Master.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao blinked at Xiao Xunbao, showing an expression of “Don’t worry, I got this.”
Xiao Xunbao: “…”
“Xun…”
The two green Pets looked at the massive figure below with a wary expression. After assessing their respective strengths based on the opponent’s aura, they decisively turned and flew away.
“Xun!”
The smaller green Pet quickly followed suit.
“Ice Ke…”
Xiao Xunbao watched the three green Pets fly away, and it involuntarily began to self-deprecate in its mind.
It was indeed too weak.
Xiao Xunbao hadn’t even shown its true strength and could already scare the opponents away.
And itself… Xiao Xunbao glanced at its frozen Yu Beast Master, its mood growing even more despondent.
Xiao Xunbao! Healing Light! Use Healing Light! Qiao Sang’s heart stirred when Xiao Xunbao looked at her.
At this moment, the enlarged Ghost Ring King dissipated, and Xiao Xunbao raised its paw again, and the white, thick energy instantly condensed.
Qiao Sang: “?!!!”
Ah! Xiao Xunbao! Stop it! Stop it!
In extreme panic, Qiao Sang saw Xiao Xunbao stop its downward Chop movement.
Phew… Qiao Sang let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Good, it seemed Xiao Xunbao still had some psychological connection with her.
That’s right, after all, she had nurtured it since it hatched, and it was a Superpower System Pet, far stronger than other Pets in terms of perception. Even without the path of bond evolution, it could usually understand her meaning with just a glance… Qiao Sang felt inexplicably comforted in her heart.
The next moment, she saw Xiao Xunbao and Xiao Xunbao looking up with solemn expressions in the direction behind her.
Hey, what are they looking at? Can they turn around so she can see too? Qiao Sang was extremely curious.
She could feel that the atmosphere at this moment seemed a little different.
It seemed like something was behind her, and she was completely enveloped in its shadow.
Unfortunately, she was frozen and couldn’t even move her eyeballs.
In a silent atmosphere, Xiao Xunbao took off its ring, pulled out a Pet Identifier from inside, and aimed it in the direction behind its Yu Beast Master.
A voice with the same tone as Xiao Xunbao then sounded:
“Let me see… Sha Lu Dragon, Ground-type, Dragon-type dual-attribute King-level Pet, very fond of playing around. Although its intelligence is high, its mind is only focused on causing trouble. It’s a very troublesome Pet, but once it evolves into the Emperor-level Pet Earth Land Two Dragons, it will become much more stable… Oh dear, how did you encounter it? It is recommended that you quickly escape or surrender… Of course, if you insist on battling, please put me away first.”
“Xiao Xunbao…” Xiao Xunbao solemnly put the Pet Identifier back into the ring.
“Sha Lu.”
Behind Qiao Sang, a Pet approximately ten meters tall, predominantly dark brown, with black fur covering its neck, two rows of black patterns on its belly, and red pupils, was looking at Xiao Xunbao and Qiao Sang, who was covered in Ice Flowers, with great interest.
“Ice Ke…”
Under the pressure of a powerful aura, even though the Sha Lu Dragon hadn’t done anything yet, Xiao Xunbao felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Its heart pounded, and it instinctively moved its feet, blocking in front of its Yu Beast Master.
King-level Pet Sha Lu Dragon?!
Is it part of the same family as the Earth Land Two Dragons, the owner of Mount Bazhi?
Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned.
She never expected that what appeared behind her would be a King-level Pet!
At this moment, blue light emanated from Xiao Xunbao’s eyes.
Qiao Sang’s vision at this moment clearly saw this scene.
Seeing this, she understood that Xiao Xunbao was about to use Space Movement, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that Xiao Xunbao wasn’t outside when she was frozen, otherwise Xiao Xunbao’s first reaction would definitely not be to run away…
Just as she was thinking, her vision went black, and when it returned, the surrounding scenery had already changed.
At the same time, the Sha Lu Dragon looked at the location where the intruders disappeared, showing an expression of “As expected, quite interesting.”
“Sha Lu!!!”
Immediately after, the Sha Lu Dragon looked up and let out a thunderous roar.
The sound echoed over Mount Bazhi.
The next second, in the mountain range, almost all the sleeping Pets opened their eyes.
