Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 722: My heart finally died (second update)

“Don’t panic, Xiao Xunbao has Space Movement…” Qiao Sang quickly calmed herself down.

“Juju!”

However, at this moment, a second Giant Rock Nika, even larger and more robust than the first, raised its head and let out a mighty roar.

The ground trembled.

The already pitted ground violently cracked open again, and towering rock cones emerged from within.

They rose to a height of five meters, piercing out from the ground in large patches, rapidly covering more than half of the area, and swiftly advancing towards Xiao Xunbao’s position.

“Ice Ke…”

Xiao Xunbao subconsciously dug its claws into the ground, various chaotic thoughts flashing through its mind.

All this time, it had evaded attacks by performing Water Fusion or unleashing Water Jet.

But now, with its Yu Beast Master on its back, if it were to use either of these moves, its Yu Beast Master would surely be harmed.

“Ice Ke!”

Thinking this, Xiao Xunbao’s expression became resolute, and its tail instantly condensed a massive stream of water, attempting to use attack as a substitute for defense.

However, the next second, it saw Xiao Xunbao standing in front of it.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao stopped its telekinesis, raised both claws, and simultaneously condensed thick white energy in both paws.

“Bang bang bang!”

It swung its claws, chopping down repeatedly.

Chopping, horizontal chopping, vertical chopping, diagonal chopping.

Seemingly chaotic, yet secretly profound, each strike precisely split the incoming rock cones in half.

The attention of the two Giant Rock Nikas immediately focused entirely on Xiao Xunbao.

“Ice Ke…”

Xiao Xunbao paused, silently dissipating the water stream on its tail.

Just then, a whirlwind, about three meters in diameter and six meters high, suddenly appeared behind them.

Gravel rolled, and the Typhoon howled.

A powerful whirlwind struck from behind.

Xiao Xunbao dug its claws into the ground, steadying itself.

But suddenly, it felt a lightness on its back.

At the same time, the whirlwind dispersed.

Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then sensed something and looked up.

It saw its Yu Beast Master being held in the claws of a bird Pet about six meters tall, primarily dark blue in color, with exceptionally sharp claws.

“Ice Ke!”

Xiao Xunbao’s pupils contracted, and without time to think, it immediately condensed water all over its body, its gaze fixed on the dark blue bird Pet, and shot into the air like a water pillar.

“Kuangkuang.”

The dark blue bird Pet sneered, opened its mouth, and a cyan-blue energy wave brewed within, suddenly transforming into a light wave and shooting out.

“Bang!!!”

The light wave was simply too fast, directly clashing with the “water pillar.”

Amidst the massive explosion, Xiao Xunbao fell from the sky.

Rock cones were still furiously piercing out from the ground.

Seeing Xiao Xunbao about to fall onto the rock cones, Xiao Xunbao, while using Chop, its eyes glowed blue.

Xiao Xunbao was suspended 0.1 centimeters above the rock cones.

“Ice Ke…”

Xiao Xunbao struggled to open its eyes.

Through its blurry vision, it noticed that the two Pets with their heads encased in brown rock were not looking at it, as if it didn’t exist.

Xiao Xunbao endured the severe pain and raised its head, seeing its Yu Beast Master clutched in the claws.

It was all because of its own mistake…

“Ice Ke…”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes darkened, then the gem on its forehead lit up, emitting a blue light that enveloped its body.

At the same time, water droplets slowly dripped from its tail towards the rock cones below.

In the high sky, Qiao Sang, face down, took in the scene below.

Another General-level Pet… Qiao Sang’s heart was heavy.

Although she couldn’t see what the Pet holding her looked like, just based on how one of its skills directly repelled Xiao Xunbao, who was using Water Jet, she knew its level must be above High Level.

Above High Level, yet it didn’t knock Xiao Xunbao unconscious with one move, so it should be a General-level Pet…

Are General-level Pets in this inner circle clustered together… or did Xiao Xunbao just teleport into a General-level Pet’s lair… Qiao Sang subconsciously analyzed the current situation.

Originally, when the second Giant Rock Nika appeared, Xiao Xunbao should have immediately used Space Movement, but the opportunity was missed.

If Space Movement had proceeded smoothly, a single target at a long distance would not have been a problem, but now, she, Xiao Xunbao, and Xiao Xunbao were in three different directions.

It might not be possible to move them all to another place at the same time…

“Ice Ke!”

Just as Qiao Sang was pondering, Xiao Xunbao called out, raising its voice.

Its voice was full of spirit, as if it hadn’t been injured.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao immediately responded, indicating understanding.

The next second, it vanished from its original spot.

Without the control of telekinesis, Xiao Xunbao fell downwards.

As it was about to touch the rock cones below, it disappeared without a trace.

“Juju?”

The two Giant Rock Nikas looked at each other, utterly bewildered.

In the high sky, Xiao Xunbao appeared behind the dark blue bird Pet.

“Kuangkuang.”

The dark blue bird Pet felt a chill down its spine, sensed danger, and tried to turn around.

But just as it flapped its wings, several dark shadows, like black silk, struck from behind, binding its wings and claws.

Immediately after, the black shadows binding its claws suddenly tightened.

“Kuangkuang!”

The dark blue bird Pet’s claws stung, and it subconsciously let go.

Ah, this is probably what bungee jumping feels like… The frozen Qiao Sang plummeted from a high altitude.

A dark shadow suddenly split off, rapidly descending, and bound Qiao Sang.

Then, with a pull, Qiao Sang only heard a “whoosh” beside her ear and was next to Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao saw its Yu Beast Master still perfectly encased in ice and breathed a sigh of relief.

Heh heh, couldn’t you have just used Space Movement to transfer me directly to your side… Qiao Sang thought numbly.

At this moment, dense, numerous rocks, as if manipulated, ignored gravity and surged towards the high sky.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao reacted quickly, pulling the dark shadow binding the dark blue bird Pet backward.

The dark blue bird Pet then blocked in front of Xiao Xunbao and Qiao Sang.

“Bang bang bang!”

Countless rocks smashed onto the dark blue bird Pet’s body.

“Kuangkuang!”

The dark blue bird Pet struggled, constantly letting out pained cries.

But no matter how much it struggled, the dark shadows binding its body remained very firm.

Once the rock attack was over, the dark blue bird Pet’s head drooped, and it slowly closed its eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Xunbao released the dark shadow.

The dark blue bird Pet fell downwards.

But after falling a dozen meters, its body swayed, it opened its eyes, and struggled to flap its wings to steady itself.

Suddenly, a water pillar shot up from below, fiercely impacting its body.

“Kuangkuang!”

The dark blue bird Pet finally closed its eyes and completely fainted.

Xiao Xunbao is awesome! It actually knew to finish it off! Defeating a General-level Pet beyond its own level, the Points for this must be a lot… Qiao Sang inwardly rejoiced.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s voice sounded at this moment.

Qiao Sang’s attention returned to Xiao Xunbao.

Then she saw its claws condensed with white light.

It seemed to be afraid of being disturbed again.

This time, Xiao Xunbao’s Chop was both fast and ruthless.

Qiao Sang only heard a “crack.”

Her heart finally died.
