Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 727: It’s just a waste (two in one)

A suffocating Pressure surged.

Fortunately, Qiao Sang had already prepared, taking a deep breath and holding it in advance.

At the same time, Xiao Xunbao, whose face was contorted in pain from the suffocation, did not forget her Yu Beast Master’s previous command, and the blue light in her eyes immediately deepened in color.

“Sha Lu!”

Suddenly, a roar carrying a majestic wild aura came from outside the still not fully dissipated membrane.

The mountain beneath their feet trembled violently.

The heart-palpitating roar seemed to reverberate right beside their ears.

With the appearance of the roar, a majestic Pressure, as if materialized from a mountain, enveloped Ya Bao and the others.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s body sank, as if carrying a giant object weighing ten thousand jin; she lost her balance, fell to the ground, and the blue light in her eyes returned to their original golden-yellow pupils.

… …

On the other side.

Various wild Pets fled frantically, including many large wild Pets.

Charles pulled out a spherical device about five centimeters in diameter from his bag, pressed the red button on it, and an invisible Barrier immediately enveloped him and Carol.

Ghost Sense, who was unconsciously trembling all over, breathed a sigh of relief.

Carol felt her shoulder lighten, and all negative effects disappeared.

Charles said with a serious expression:

“The Pressure has reached even us here; it seems the Sha Lu Dragon is not far from us.”

Carol hesitated:

“Why don’t we take another path?”

Charles looked at the display screen in his hand and said in a deep voice, “I don’t know what’s going on tonight, most wild Pets aren’t sleeping, so it’s better to find Qiao Sang as quickly as possible via the shortest route.”

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and speculated:

“Do you think the Sha Lu Dragon has already discovered Qiao Sang’s whereabouts? I see that Qiao Sang’s current location seems to be in the same direction as the Sha Lu Dragon’s roar.”

Carol’s expression was startled upon hearing this, and after a moment of contemplation, her face immediately turned extremely grim:

“It’s truly possible. The Sha Lu Dragon’s cry just now was very excited, as if it had found prey, and it even deliberately used its Pressure characteristic. It’s clearly meant to give the prey a warning.”

“If the Sha Lu Dragon really confronts Qiao Sang…” Carol said, looking at Charles, “then are we still going over?”

Charles was very self-aware and said:

“Among the three of us, Qiao Sang has the strongest combat power. If the Sha Lu Dragon is truly beside her, we would only become a hindrance if we went over.”

“Qiao Sang’s Ghost Ring King has Space Movement; as long as she seizes the opportunity, she should be able to escape to another location.”

“To be safe, we should wait here first and decide after confirming the situation ahead.”

Upon hearing this, Carol immediately said, “I’ll send Ba Shi Ball to check.”

With that, she formed hand seals.

A green star array lit up.

Soon, a Pet about six meters in size, shaped like a yellow balloon with cloud-like hair on its head, appeared within the star array.

“Ba Shi Ball, go ahead and scout the path. Remember, be quiet and don’t make any noise,” Carol said, pointing in the direction they had originally intended to go.

“Ba Shi.” Ba Shi Ball nodded, then slowly shrunk in size until it was about 20 centimeters, at which point it floated into the air.

… …

The Barrier completely shattered.

The ground trembled, and Qiao Sang could clearly sense a giant Pet rapidly approaching.

Leaves rustled.

Suddenly, the trees ahead were crashed through by a massive figure.

Qiao Sang looked up and saw a colossal creature, almost entirely dark brown, with black fur covering its neck, two rows of black patterns on its belly, and red pupils.

Sha Lu Dragon… Qiao Sang’s pupils suddenly contracted as she looked at the Pet before her.

At this moment, with Space Confinement gone, He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma gasped for air, and their expressions quickly returned to normal.

Ya Bao and the others, however, were in a sorry state due to the previous suffocation and the sudden targeted Pressure.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao’s sharp claws dug hard into the ground, her fur bristled, and she bared her fangs at the clearly hostile trio of Pets before her.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure’s claws trembled involuntarily, and she showed a solemn expression.

“Ice Ke…”

Lu Bao looked up at the Sha Lu Dragon and the others, her body stiff, feeling smaller than ever before.

Xiao Xunbao lay motionless on the ground, but her eyes opened and closed, and the blue light reappeared.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

However, the next second, she looked up in surprise.

A translucent membrane enveloped her.

Xiao Xunbao floated up, looking at Zhao Guang Ma in the sky.

“Zhao Zhao.”

The blue light in Zhao Guang Ma’s eyes faded, and she gave Xiao Xunbao a Taunt smile.

It’s over, it’s completely over… Two King-level Pets, one General-level Pet, and Xiao Xunbao is even trapped alone by Space Confinement… Qiao Sang, whose attention had been half-focused on Xiao Xunbao, felt sweat trickle down her spine.

She felt an unprecedented crisis.

To be honest, the reason she dared to come out alone late at night, besides Lu Bao’s Healing Light, was because of Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement.

With these two moves, it was impossible to encounter too much danger.

But she hadn’t expected to be targeted by a King-level Pet.

That wasn’t even the worst part, but this King-level Pet clearly had high intelligence, knowing to specifically find a Pet that could counter Space Movement, and even the Pressure just now was targeted, having no effect on Zhao Guang Ma… Qiao Sang took a deep breath, trying her best to remain calm, and secretly waved her hand, wanting to summon Xiao Xunbao back.

The yu beast codex showed no reaction.

As expected, Space Confinement had separated Xiao Xunbao and her…

Just as Qiao Sang’s thought arose, the Sha Lu Dragon raised its claw and approached Xiao Xunbao.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao’s sharp claws extended, and scorching flames burned on them, fiercely raking across the Sha Lu Dragon’s claw.

The Profound Level Flame Claw left a deep mark on the Sha Lu Dragon.

“Sha Lu!”

The Sha Lu Dragon shifted its gaze to Ya Bao, showing an angry expression.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao’s fur bristled, and she bared her fangs, not backing down at all.

“Zhao Zhao.”

Zhao Guang Ma shook her head, showing an expression that said, “Still too young, as expected.”

The Sha Lu Dragon opened its mouth, white light brewing within, quickly forming into a light wave that suddenly shot out, heading towards Ya Bao’s direction.

“Clone!”

At this moment, Qiao Sang’s voice sounded.

“Ya Ya!”

Hearing her Yu Beast Master’s voice, Ya Bao’s expression suddenly became extremely serious, and she let out a cry.

The next second, from all directions, high in the sky and on the ground, within the entire visible range, densely packed Flame Qilus appeared.

The white light wave shot straight, clearing away all the Flame Qilus in its path.

The remaining Flame Qilus bared their fangs and swarmed forward, moving in unison to pounce and bite at the Sha Lu Dragon.

“Attack Zhao Guang Ma!” At the same time, Qiao Sang communicated telepathically with Steel Treasure.

To successfully escape from the hands of two King-level Pets, Zhao Guang Ma was the most crucial breakthrough!

Without a word, Steel Treasure shook her body, and hundreds of purple-glowing Wing Blades immediately shot from her towards Zhao Guang Ma’s location.

Hundreds of Wing Blades descended from the sky, their purple light dazzling.

“Zhao Zhao!”

Zhao Guang Ma tried to teleport, but once again found herself failing to teleport!

She suddenly realized something and looked down at Xiao Xunbao, who was within Space Confinement, in disbelief.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao gave her a Taunt smile.

Zhao Guang Ma: “!!!”

The dense Wing Blades focused their attack, seemingly about to hit Zhao Guang Ma.

However, He Huang Spider King stepped forward at this moment.

“Bang bang bang!”

All the Wing Blades almost entirely hit He Huang Spider King.

He Huang Spider King endured the Wing Blades without a cry of pain, not even changing her expression, and raised a leg several meters long.

As she raised it, white light attached to her leg, and she stomped down fiercely towards Steel Treasure.

Although the raising motion was slow, the descending motion was terrifyingly fast; as the long leg stomped down, it made the Flame Qilus’ pouncing and biting speed seem incredibly slow in comparison.

When she was about ten meters from Steel Treasure, Steel Treasure finally reacted and began to flap her wings.

But it was too late.

At a speed of ten meters, as soon as Steel Treasure’s wings began to lift, that leg traversed the ten-meter distance and arrived above Steel Treasure’s head.

“Bang!!!”

The ground shattered, directly blasting out a deep pit!

The leg, condensed with white light, even plunged several meters deep into the soil!

“He he.”

Seeing the ground empty, He Huang Spider King suddenly understood something and looked up at the human not far away, who was not even half the length of her leg.

At this moment, Qiao Sang’s hand, which had just finished waving, trembled slightly, and she heard her own violent heartbeat.

He Huang Spider King pulled her leg out of the mud, raised it again, and condensed white light upon it.

This time, it’s coming for me… Qiao Sang’s adrenaline surged, and she deeply realized this point.

She froze in place, her mind racing.

Now is an opportunity.

The Sha Lu Dragon was surrounded by Ya’s clones, and the He Huang Spider King’s attention was on her, making it the best time to attack Zhao Guang Ma!

As long as she successfully moved to another location, even if she was severely injured, she still had Lu Bao…

“Ya, attack that white one!” Qiao Sang subconsciously didn’t state Zhao Guang Ma’s species name, afraid that Ya wouldn’t know who she was talking about.

No sooner had she spoken than she felt a white light strike down from above her head.

It’s over, it’s over. Wild Pets are indeed too ferocious. I hope Ya can instantly kill Zhao Guang Ma, and Xiao Xunbao can successfully use Space Movement. Then her sacrifice won’t be in vain… Qiao Sang closed her eyes, covering her head with her hands.

However, the imagined severe pain did not come.

What’s going on? Qiao Sang opened her eyes.

She saw a long leg, condensed with white light, trampling on Lu Bao, whose entire body was covered in Ice Cones.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

When did Lu Bao block in front of her?!

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned.

To be honest, she had never thought of letting Lu Bao initiate an attack or block an attack.

Lu Bao’s Healing Light played a crucial role, so she absolutely couldn’t let the Sha Lu Dragon and the others notice it.

But now…

“Bang!”

A massive surge of energy exploded with Lu Bao at its center.

Qiao Sang was directly sent flying by this energy.

The ground shattered.

Lu Bao’s three-meter-plus body sank completely into the ground!

“Ice Ke!”

Hearing Lu Bao’s pained cry, Qiao Sang’s heart clenched. She endured the pain and wanted to wave her hand to recall it into the yu beast codex.

But just then, an even more powerful current of air suddenly struck, directly sending Qiao Sang flying more than ten meters away again, interrupting her action.

The word “damn” floated through Qiao Sang’s mind.

She struggled to lift her head.

Immediately after, her heart suddenly sank.

Not far away, a turbulent, swirling current of air appeared beneath the Sha Lu Dragon’s feet, and all of Ya’s clones had disappeared.

“Zhao Zhao!”

Just then, Zhao Guang Ma’s pained cry came.

Qiao Sang looked towards the source of the cry, her eyes suddenly lighting up.

She saw Ya, using Fire Fang, biting directly into Zhao Guang Ma’s neck from behind!

“Xiao Xunbao!” Qiao Sang turned her head to look at Xiao Xunbao’s location.

Zhao Guang Ma was severely injured now; Space Confinement definitely couldn’t be maintained! Now was the best time to use Space Movement!

But just as she turned her head, her pupils contracted violently.

A leg, condensed with white light and several meters long, was now landing exactly where Xiao Xunbao had originally been restricted from moving.

The long leg sank deep into the ground and even ground twice.

Xiao Xunbao… Qiao Sang looked at the sunken ground, her mind blank for a moment.

“Hehe?”

The He Huang Spider King ground twice, then suddenly showed a puzzled expression.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

The next moment, Xiao Xunbao’s voice sounded beside her.

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw Xiao Xunbao perfectly unharmed, wiping non-existent sweat from its forehead with its paw. Her spirits immediately relaxed.

“Bang!”

In the high sky, an explosion sounded.

The shockwave was accompanied by flames.

Ya flicked her head, throwing the completely scorched and already unconscious Zhao Guang Ma downwards.

The Sha Lu Dragon’s gaze was fixed on Ya.

“Sha Lu!”

It roared, and a powerful, awe-inspiring yellow sand immediately spread outwards from its center.

Countless yellow grains of sand swirled up like a storm.

In an instant, the entire area was enveloped by terrifying yellow sand.

Xiao Xunbao, whose eyes had just begun to glow blue, froze for a moment.

It usually transfers targets within its line of sight; this was the first time its vision had been obstructed.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao covered its mouth and nose with its paw, its expression serious, then closed its eyes.

In an instant, the terrain of more than half the mountain range appeared in its mind like a 3D image.

Just as the image appeared, the entire ground suddenly began to vibrate violently.

With the sound of the vibration, the sand concentrated and swirled towards a certain point.

Amidst the sky-filling dust, a Typhoon swept through, and a large-scale Sandstorm engulfed the direction where Ya was located, covering the sky and earth.

“Ya Ya!”

Although Ya’s vision was not very clear, it felt the danger.

Its eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared from its original spot, reappearing dozens of meters away.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, who had finally found its position and was about to perform a group transfer, widened its eyes, then showed an exhausted expression, closed its eyes, and began to search for Big Brother Ya’s position again.

Is it trying to locate Ya and the others? Qiao Sang saw that Xiao Xunbao hadn’t started transferring for a long time and realized the problem.

She waved her hand, just about to recall Ya into the yu beast codex.

Just then, two incredibly tough white threads struck, quickly coiling around and binding her and Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao, who was in the middle of locating, was caught off guard, but it reacted immediately. The blue light in its eyes flickered, and it instantly disappeared within the white threads.

It was about to transfer its Yu Beast Master as well, but it found that the white threads retracted, carrying its Yu Beast Master away into the yellow sand.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

At the same time, blue light flickered in a certain deep pit.

A moment later, Lu Bao leaped out of it, completely unharmed.

“Ice Ke…”

Lu Bao looked at the turbid yellow sand around it with a disgusted expression and began to hold its breath.

It puffed out its cheeks and looked around, and after realizing it couldn’t see anything, it raised its head and slightly parted its mouth.

After about three seconds, a light rain began to fall.

However, this rain seemed somewhat insignificant amidst the sky-filling yellow sand.

It only dispersed some of the yellow sand, making the visibility slightly clearer.

Through the haze, Lu Bao vaguely saw the massive figure of the He Huang Spider King and a figure hanging upside down in front of it.

“Ice Ke…”

At this moment, Lu Bao’s pupils constricted, and it couldn’t help but take a step forward, wanting to see more clearly.

“Big brother, let’s talk this over… Speaking of which, big brother, you’re really amazing. With so much sand, you can still accurately catch me… ” Qiao Sang looked up from below at the He Huang Spider King, who was close at hand, feeling extremely flustered inside.

It’s no wonder there are few Yu Beast Masters who contract Insect-type Pets.

Besides being generally weaker than Pets of the same level, appearance is also a major reason.

This appearance, seen up close, is truly a bit unbearable to look at… Qiao Sang complained internally while secretly forming hand seals behind her back.

Although the white threads bound her arms and body, thankfully her hands were not bound.

This was the difference between wild Pets and non-wild Pets.

If it were a Pet with a Yu Beast Master, in a wild battle, if they wanted to attack the opponent, they would definitely bind the hands first, not other parts.

“Hehe.”

The He Huang Spider King was somewhat disgusted by the human’s excessive talking. The white threads extended, binding her mouth.

Qiao Sang: “…”

As long as her hands weren’t bound, everything was fine…

Qiao Sang’s hands were still forming seals, and an orange-yellow star array lit up on the ground.

“Hehe.”

The He Huang Spider King’s eyeballs rolled, detecting the human’s small movements.

So troublesome… The He Huang Spider King thought to itself as it raised a long leg.

White light instantly condensed on its leg.

At this moment, Lu Bao completely saw the scene before it.

Its bound Yu Beast Master.

The He Huang Spider King.

And its raised leg, which was currently above its Yu Beast Master’s head.

“Ice Ke!!!”

Lu Bao let out a desperate cry, its eyes filled with despair and rage.

A massive current of water instantly swept over its entire body, rising into the air like a water pillar, majestically crashing towards the He Huang Spider King.

It was about to hit.

But at this moment, the He Huang Spider King changed the landing point of its attack.

The long leg, condensed with white light, extended and accurately kicked the “water pillar.”

Lu Bao was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

Yellow sand filled the air.

“Ice Ke…”

Lu Bao struggled to open its eyes, its vision blurry.

It was all its fault.

If it hadn’t insisted on coming out tonight, none of this would have happened…

Sure enough, it was just useless… It couldn’t compare to anyone…

Lu Bao closed its eyes.

On the other side.

Dozens of Flame Qilu were scattered around the Sha Lu Dragon.

The Sha Lu Dragon’s expression grew increasingly impatient.

Whenever it attacked and eliminated some of these guys, a large group would always emerge again.

“Sha Lu!”

The Sha Lu Dragon roared, its left foreleg stomping heavily on the ground.

Yellow sand flew, expanding the range, and the entire area instantly became even more turbid.

At the same time, in the center of the yellow sand, a faint white light flickered. (End of this chapter)
