Chapter 721: Giant Rock Nika (first update)

Xiao Xunbao, well done, you’re really reliable at critical moments… Qiao Sang praised in her heart, looking at the absence of any wild Pets.

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao raised its paw again.

You brat, I praised you for nothing! Qiao Sang roared internally.

“Ice Ke.”

Seeing the Chop skill, condensed with white light, about to fall, Lu Bao cried out, signaling to wait.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao stopped, looked at Lu Bao, and showed a confused expression.

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like she had survived a disaster.

“Ice Ke…”

Lu Bao surveyed the surroundings with a solemn expression.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked around, also sensing that something was amiss.

Qiao Sang’s attention had just been on Xiao Xunbao’s Chop, but now seeing Lu Bao and Xiao Xunbao’s expressions, she immediately became alert.

Although she was frozen and couldn’t move, her senses were still active.

Soon, Qiao Sang realized that the surrounding environment was unusually quiet, a kind of quiet that was out of the ordinary.

It wasn’t the stillness of late night, but rather the calm before a storm.

Although she didn’t have much experience exploring the wilderness, she understood that this atmosphere was not a normal phenomenon.

Being targeted… Just as this thought arose in Qiao Sang’s mind, from high in the tree canopy, a white Ice line suddenly shot down, rapidly attacking in Xiao Xunbao’s direction.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao reacted quickly, disappearing from its original spot and directly teleporting to the location from which the Frozen Light had attacked.

It raised its paw, and a black Shadow Ball instantly condensed, smashing downwards.

Accompanied by a miserable cry of “Bu Bu!”, a bird-type Pet, mostly white, fell from the tree, eyes closed, lying on the ground.

Bu Ice Swallow, an Ice-type High-level Pet… Qiao Sang recognized the Pet lying on the ground, and her heart sank.

Something was wrong, very wrong. Logically speaking, even if Pets had varying levels of intelligence, they should be able to sense whether an opponent was stronger than themselves.

Xiao Xunbao, for now, had a small body and usually didn’t exude the Pressure that a General-level Pet should, but Lu Bao currently hadn’t activated her miniature shrinking bracelet, so her aura and size were genuinely consistent with a High-level Pet’s standard.

The Bu Ice Swallow shouldn’t have initiated an attack…

And… that eerie silence in the surroundings still persisted…

Just as she was thinking, the surrounding plants suddenly swayed as if blown by the wind, and strange sounds emanated from beneath the ground, as if something was wriggling.

“Ice Ke.”

Feeling the anomaly beneath the ground, Lu Bao flicked and coiled her tail, placing her Yu Beast Master, who was still frozen, onto her back.

The next second, the ground began to shake violently.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a massive creature, approximately six meters in size, burst out from underground. Its four limbs landed on the ground, causing the spots where it landed to instantly indent several inches.

“Ju Ju!”

A pair of light yellow eyes looked down at Xiao Xunbao and Lu Bao from above. The head, covered in brown rock, suddenly opened its mouth and let out a long, excited cry.

General-level Ground-type Pet, Giant Rock Nika… Qiao Sang’s mind recalled the basic information of the Pet before her.

…

At the same time.

“Gan Gan!”

Ghost Sense raised its claw, emitting an eerie purple aura, and viciously swiped downwards.

The snake-type Pet in front of it failed to dodge and let out a miserable cry.

“Du Du!”

The snake-type Pet shook its head, giving Ghost Sense a “you just wait” look, and quickly slithered away.

Ghost Sense wanted to pursue it.

Charles said with a grave expression, “Don’t chase.”

“Gan Gan.”

Ghost Sense obediently stopped its movements.

Carol, hearing the commotion inside the tent, came out and cautiously looked around, asking:

“What’s going on?”

“Get ready, we’re leaving here now,” Charles said, picking up his backpack.

Carol didn’t ask why and immediately started packing her things.

Then she thought of something and asked, “What about Qiao Sang?”

“She went to find her Ice Kexilu,” Charles said, putting on his backpack. “We’re going to meet up with her now. I gave her a signal device so we can pinpoint her location.”

Carol finally couldn’t suppress her curiosity and asked, “What exactly is going on?”

Charles’s expression was very solemn: “Do you know there’s a Sha Lu Dragon in Mount Bazhi?”

Carol nodded: “The child of the Earth Land Two Dragons. I heard the Earth Land Two Dragons stays in the core, while it often runs out, sometimes even reaching the outermost layer.”

As she spoke, she suddenly realized something, her face began to turn serious, and she quickened her movements.

“I just heard the Sha Lu Dragon’s voice,” Charles said in a deep voice. “If I’m not mistaken, it should be nearby now. We need to find Qiao Sang quickly and leave here. It’ll be troublesome if it finds us.”

Carol understood what he meant.

The Earth Land Two Dragons were the masters of Mount Bazhi, and as their child, the Sha Lu Dragon was the young master here.

It could basically command the wild Pets living in Mount Bazhi.

The Sha Lu Dragon had never stepped out of here, so it was very interested in Pets it hadn’t seen or humans who set foot here.

In the generation before last, a senior from the Potion Department formed a team to collect medicinal materials here. As a result, they were discovered by the Sha Lu Dragon, and the group was captured and tormented for a whole week. In the end, a teacher from Royal Union Dun came to negotiate with the Earth Land Two Dragons to bring them back.

It was said that when the people were brought back, they had mental problems. Later, they spent a lot of points to find a healing-type big shot to cure them.

However, the points were on credit, and now that senior is still working as an assistant for that big shot at the university to repay the points.

This incident spread within Yu Liandun University at the time, so everyone knew that within Mount Bazhi, the Sha Lu Dragon had the highest danger rating.

After all, the Earth Land Two Dragons basically stayed in the core of Mount Bazhi. As long as you didn’t disturb them, they wouldn’t pay you any mind.

But the Sha Lu Dragon was different; even if you didn’t disturb it, it would very much pay you mind.

I still need to find Qiao Sang as soon as possible. Her Ghost Ring King can use Space Movement. Staying by her side is the safest… Carol thought this, and her movements became even faster.

…

Damn, first a King-level Pet, Sha Lu Dragon, and now another General-level Pet, Giant Rock Nika. The middle layer is indeed much more dangerous than the outermost layer… Xiao Xunbao! Quickly use Space Movement! Amidst Qiao Sang’s inner shouts, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

Not far away, Giant Rock Nika’s massive body floated uncontrollably.

I told you to use Space Movement, what are you using telekinesis for… But Xiao Xunbao is also a General-level Pet, it should be able to defeat Giant Rock Nika… Qiao Sang mumbled to herself, looking at the scene before her.

The next moment, the ground vibrated.

Large cracks quickly appeared.

Suddenly, the ground churned and exploded.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, another exceptionally stout Pet leaped out from underground.

Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat.
