Chapter 725: Really smooth evolution

The He Huang Spider King, after crushing the red Energy Ball with its white silk, remained motionless.

It looked down at Xiao Xunbao from above, seemingly unconcerned with any actions they might take.

Having witnessed a King-level Pet firsthand, Qiao Sang quickly calculated after the initial shock subsided.

What Xiao Xunbao just said should be true; the He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma were waiting for a certain Pet to arrive.

Before that Pet arrived, she and Xiao Xunbao were most likely safe.

There were two plans now.

The first was to collectively attack Zhao Guang Ma while that Pet hadn’t arrived yet. As long as Zhao Guang Ma’s internal energy became unstable and couldn’t maintain steady energy operation, the Space Lockdown would disappear.

However, this plan had an uncertainty.

That was, the He Huang Spider King was currently staying next to Zhao Guang Ma. The He Huang Spider King’s brief display of power was terrifyingly strong. If they really started fighting, it was uncertain whether Zhao Guang Ma’s energy would become unstable first, or if their side would be wiped out first.

The second plan was to wait for that Pet to arrive, seize the moment the Space Lockdown was removed, and have Xiao Xunbao use Space Movement to escape.

The Space Lockdown not only blocked creatures inside but also prevented creatures outside from entering.

As long as that Pet arrived and wanted to enter, the Space Lockdown would definitely be temporarily removed…

Qiao Sang quickly analyzed the feasibility and success rate of the two plans, concluding that the second one was the best.

After all, the former would definitely involve a head-on confrontation with the He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma, which carried too high a risk.

Thinking this, Qiao Sang outwardly remained calm and patted Steel Treasure’s body, signaling it to move closer to Xiao Xunbao. But just then, a familiar voice echoed in her mind:

“Steel Guard.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lowered her head to look at Steel Treasure, who was carrying her.

Steel Treasure turned to meet her gaze, then turned its head back, acting as if nothing had been communicated.

Qiao Sang tentatively spoke in her mind:

“Steel Treasure?”

“Steel Guard,” Steel Treasure’s voice echoed in her mind again.

Holy cow, Steel Treasure could actually communicate with her telepathically now… Qiao Sang was both surprised and delighted.

As a Yu Beast Master with a bond-evolved Pet, understanding the pros and cons of bond evolution was essential knowledge.

When the bond between a Yu Beast Master and their Pet reached a certain level, in addition to sharing thoughts, they could also communicate directly through telepathy in their minds.

However, the power of the bond was difficult to quantify, so the information she found didn’t specify what exact level was needed for a Yu Beast Master and Pet to engage in telepathic conversation.

Qiao Sang hadn’t expected the bond between her and Steel Treasure to have already reached such a realm!

“Steel Guard.”

Just as she was thinking, Steel Treasure called out in her mind, indicating it had a plan.

“Are you thinking of using Air Absorption?” Qiao Sang immediately guessed Steel Treasure’s idea.

The Space Lockdown not only blocked the entry and exit of creatures but also prevented air circulation. If Air Absorption was used to completely absorb all the air within the barrier, Zhao Guang Ma would naturally be unable to endure and would remove the Space Lockdown.

“Steel Guard,” Steel Treasure nodded.

“No,” Qiao Sang refused. “With your current size, it would take at least several minutes to absorb all the air in here. Within those few minutes, they would realize the air is thin and would definitely notice you, then they would certainly launch an attack.”

“Steel Guard,” Steel Treasure had already thought of this. It called out, indicating it could evolve.

Evolve? Qiao Sang instantly had an epiphany.

Now, the bond power between her and Steel Treasure was already sufficient. Steel Treasure could temporarily evolve into a Steel Slash Giant Falcon through bond evolution. At that stage, its size would be nearly four meters, and it could indeed absorb the air here much faster.

However, it wasn’t enough.

Unless the air within the barrier was absorbed within a few seconds, Steel Treasure would be in danger of being attacked…

But, if it wasn’t a temporary evolution, but a true evolution…

Qiao Sang thought of something, and her heart rate quickened.

To be honest, if everything really went smoothly, and Steel Treasure absorbed the air, and Zhao Guang Ma removed the Space Lockdown, this would indeed be the best option.

No matter what, the level, attributes, and strength of the Pet that would arrive later were unknown.

What if another King-level Pet arrived…

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Suddenly, Xiao Xunbao next to her showed an expression of “I’ve got it.”

Qiao Sang was startled, pulling back her thoughts, and asked, “What did you think of?”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao called out with a very confident expression, indicating that the one coming later would definitely be the Sha Lu Dragon it had just mentioned. That guy said something like ’the hunt begins,’ which was exactly like the big villains it saw in TV dramas.

No sooner had the words fallen than the He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma simultaneously glanced at Xiao Xunbao.

Their eyes seemed to say:

So what if you know?

There was no need for further speculation; just from the eyes of these two Pets, Qiao Sang understood that Xiao Xunbao’s analysis was true.

Sha Lu Dragon, King-level Pet…

No wonder Zhao Guang Ma immediately cast Space Lockdown upon arrival, and did it secretly. That was because Xiao Xunbao had once used Space Movement in front of Sha Lu Dragon…

If it was Sha Lu Dragon, knowing Xiao Xunbao had movement skills, would it immediately attack Xiao Xunbao upon arrival to prevent its escape…

No, there was another possibility…

Qiao Sang’s heart suddenly tightened.

If Sha Lu Dragon and Zhao Guang Ma both already knew that Xiao Xunbao could use Space Movement, then when Sha Lu Dragon arrived, Zhao Guang Ma could completely shrink the range of the Space Lockdown, only locking Xiao Xunbao inside…

“Hoo…” Qiao Sang let out a long breath, steadying her mind.

Although everything was still just speculation, to prevent such a situation from occurring, there was only one other plan to implement…

Qiao Sang quickly communicated with Steel Treasure through her consciousness.

“Steel Guard,” half a minute later, Steel Treasure replied in her mind, indicating understanding.

Immediately, it flew down and stopped on the ground.

Qiao Sang dismounted.

The next second, a white light shone on Steel Treasure’s body.

The He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma instantly focused their gaze, but that was all; they made no move.

They weren’t interrupting the evolution because they thought Steel Treasure’s evolution wouldn’t pose any threat to them? Qiao Sang secretly observed the facial expressions of the two Pets in the sky.

Upon realizing they indeed had no intention of interrupting the evolution, her heart rate unconsciously quickened.

Soon, Steel Treasure’s body slowly grew larger, stopping only when it reached nearly four meters.

When the white light receded, it was already in the form of a Steel Slash Giant Falcon.

“Ya Ya!”

Xiao Xunbao cheered excitedly at the sight, indicating that evolution was good, and quick! It wanted to fight together!

Saying that, it bared its fangs at the He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma in the sky.

You’re really reckless… Qiao Sang signaled Xiao Xunbao to calm down with her eyes.

“Ya Ya…”

Xiao Xunbao felt its Yu Beast Master’s gaze and showed a wronged expression.

It didn’t understand why they were being watched by two guys here, neither fighting nor leaving.

Qiao Sang ignored it; her attention was now entirely on Steel Treasure, as well as the He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma.

Seeing that they didn’t seem very interested in Steel Treasure’s evolution, Qiao Sang generally understood the situation.

She winked at Steel Treasure, and Steel Treasure immediately understood.

The next second, its body slowly shrank, and its appearance changed accordingly.

“Ya Ya!”

Xiao Xunbao was anxious.

Why change back!

They hadn’t fought yet!

Qiao Sang glanced at Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao pouted and quieted down.

Seeing the little guy in front of them could actually change back to its original form, the He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma were first stunned, then showed interested expressions.

“Zhao Zhao?”

Zhao Guang Ma couldn’t help but call out, asking why it could change back.

“Steel Guard.”

Steel Treasure called out, indicating that they should ask its Yu Beast Master.

While they were communicating, Qiao Sang winked at Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao immediately floated over.

“Take out the shaping fruit,” Qiao Sang whispered.

She had exchanged points for the shaping fruit, which Sainan High School had later mailed directly to her.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao remembered this item, took off its ring, and reached its paw inside.

At this moment, the He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma’s attention was on Steel Treasure, so they didn’t notice the movement here.

After Qiao Sang got the shaping fruit, she looked at Zhao Guang Ma and enticed, “Want to see it again?”

“Zhao Zhao!”

Zhao Guang Ma finally looked at Qiao Sang directly and nodded.

Qiao Sang nodded at Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure understood, and a white light glowed on its body again.

At the same time, Qiao Sang’s consciousness entered the yu beast codex.

Having Steel Treasure bond-evolve once was just to confirm whether the He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma would interrupt the evolution.

Since they wouldn’t interrupt the evolution, she could confidently let Steel Treasure truly evolve successfully.

After evolving, it would then consume the shaping fruit.

With a size of nearly eight meters, within a few seconds, it could definitely absorb all the air within the sealed area!
