Chapter 728: Ice Aipallu

The thickness of the “water pillar” and the energy color characteristics were too obvious; even though she was completely enveloped by the water flow, Qiao Sang recognized it as Lu Bao at a glance.

Her hand, which was about to finish forming the seal, unconsciously stopped, and the orange-yellow star array dissipated.

Qiao Sang looked in the direction Lu Bao had flown out.

Unfortunately, the sky-filled yellow sand suddenly intensified, and everything in front of her was a hazy yellow. The whole world seemed to be plunged into chaos, and she couldn’t see anything clearly.

Lu Bao… Qiao Sang steadied herself and prepared to form the seal again.

But at this moment, she felt the yu beast codex heat up.

This feeling… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and her heart rate quickened uncontrollably.

This feeling was too familiar!

Every time Ya Bao and the others evolved, the yu beast codex would produce this kind of warmth!

Who evolved?!

Qiao Sang looked at the sky-filled yellow sand in front of her and came to a conclusion 0.01 seconds later.

It was Lu Bao!

Qiao Sang instantly forgot that the He Huang Spider King was still binding her, and her consciousness entered the yu beast codex immediately.

Although Lu Bao’s unexpected evolution was a pleasant surprise, its energy hadn’t accumulated enough yet!

Moreover, this Sandstorm was cast by the Sha Lu Dragon and was completely out of control. If anything went wrong midway, it would be over!

The yu beast codex page turned.

Although the turning speed was no different from usual, Qiao Sang just felt that the turning speed was incredibly slow.

Once the yu beast codex turned to the page about Lu Bao, Qiao Sang began to frantically add Points.

…

In reality.

“Heh heh.”

The He Huang Spider King stared at the human with closed eyes for two seconds, then slowly raised a leg.

White light condensed on its leg.

Suddenly, a striking flame violently struck, igniting the white silk.

Then, a red light flashed, and the human in front of it disappeared without a trace.

“Heh heh.”

The He Huang Spider King sensed something and turned its head, then it saw the little fellow who had been fighting the Sha Lu Dragon earlier looking at it fiercely.

And on its back was that weak human.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao bared its fangs, staring at the He Huang Spider King, its eyes filled with rage.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao appeared nearby, looking at its Yu Beast Master with closed eyes, immediately showing a heartbroken expression.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Immediately, it floated next to Ya Bao, pointing at the He Huang Spider King not far away, accusing it with an excited expression.

“Ya Ya.”

Compared to Xiao Xunbao, Ya Bao was relatively calm and called out once.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then showed a serious expression and extended its short toe.

A dark shadow shot out from its toe tip, binding Qiao Sang in a few swift moves.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao used its three-dimensional Dark Shadow Control to bind and secure its Yu Beast Master on its back, then nodded to Ya Bao.

Ya Bao said nothing, directly transforming into a flash of fire and charging towards the He Huang Spider King.

…

In the yu beast codex.

Seeing the data behind the level filled up, with [2] Points still remaining at the bottom, Qiao Sang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

She didn’t expect that the previous wave of Nin Hunter Spiders could directly accumulate Lu Bao’s Points just enough for it to evolve!

She had vaguely regretted attacking that group of Nin Hunter Spiders earlier, but now she felt that this might be an opportunity.

If she hadn’t attacked the Nin Hunter Spiders, Lu Bao’s Points would not have accumulated so quickly to the extent of evolving into a General-level Pet.

If she hadn’t attacked the Nin Hunter Spiders, the Sha Lu Dragon wouldn’t have come, and there wouldn’t have been its Sandstorm.

If she hadn’t attacked the Nin Hunter Spiders, without the He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma, Lu Bao would have been even less likely to feel despair…

Qiao Sang suppressed the excitement in her heart and her consciousness exited the yu beast codex.

There was something more important to do now…

As soon as her consciousness returned to reality, Qiao Sang saw a large area of fire surrounding the He Huang Spider King in the distance, constantly exploding. The deafening explosions were accompanied by bursts of dense fog mixed with flames.

Huh? Where am I? Why is the He Huang Spider King so far from me? Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned, then she sensed something, looked down, and saw Xiao Xunbao’s head.

Qiao Sang instantly collected her thoughts and said with surprise:

“Xiao Xunbao, quickly find Lu Bao and give it that Awakening Orb!”

Back then, she won the championship of the regional competition in the National Campus Pet Beast League, and the prize given to her by the Ancient Mist region was a Water-type Awakening Orb.

A Pet using an Awakening Orb has a certain chance to awaken a dormant innate skill in its bloodline.

She remembered what Dr. Jiang said back then: when a Pet uses an Awakening Orb during evolution, the chance of awakening an innate skill increases by about 30%.

Lu Bao’s energy wasn’t full just now, so the evolution time shouldn’t be that fast.

Of course, if Lu Bao had already successfully evolved after being found, it wouldn’t matter; she could just use the Water-type Awakening Orb the next time it evolves into a King-level Pet.

Although she thought this, Qiao Sang still hoped that Lu Bao could successfully use it this time.

After all, evolving from a General-level Pet to a King-level Pet, who knows how much time it would take.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao showed a surprised expression upon hearing its Yu Beast Master’s voice.

It turned its head, tears welling up, just about to express its worries.

“Xun…”

Qiao Sang immediately interrupted: “Quickly get to Lu Bao.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao felt its Yu Beast Master’s urgency and stopped crying.

Lu Bao didn’t move around like Ya Bao, so it wasn’t difficult to locate. Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

The next second, it disappeared from its original spot with its Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang’s vision went black, and when it returned to light, she saw a dazzling white light in front of her.

The later the Pet, the slower the evolution time.

Seeing the yellow sand surrounding them, with no sign of the Sha Lu Dragon and the He Huang Spider King, Qiao Sang felt relieved.

“Quick, the Awakening Orb.” Qiao Sang urged Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao kept important items in a separate area. It took off its ring, fumbled around, and quickly took out a pearl that was blue to black in color.

Qiao Sang took the Awakening Orb and said loudly:

“Lu Bao, I know you can hear me! I’m throwing the Awakening Orb to you now, you must eat it!”

With that, she threw the Awakening Orb in her hand upwards.

The Awakening Orb touched the white light and didn’t fall down; instead, it seemed to be swallowed.

Lu Bao ate it… Qiao Sang understood this Point and felt a sudden relief in her heart.

Lu Bao was currently in the process of evolving, so it wasn’t good for Xiao Xunbao to use Space Movement again, as one of the conditions for Lu Bao to evolve smoothly was the Sandstorm.

Other places wouldn’t have a Sandstorm like this for a while.

Once Lu Bao successfully evolved, she would recall Ya Bao into the yu beast codex and have Xiao Xunbao transfer their location immediately…

“Bang!”

While she was thinking, a familiar red figure flew backward, and after landing, it carved a deep gully along the muddy ground.

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw Ya Bao on the ground.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao struggled to get up, its pupils bloodshot, its limbs tensed, and it bared its fangs, showing a fierce expression at the opposite side.

No way… Qiao Sang’s heart immediately sank, and she followed Ya Bao’s gaze.

“Sha Lu!”

“Heh heh.”

Not far away, two King-level Pets, the Sha Lu Dragon and the He Huang Spider King, were looking down at them from above.

!!! Qiao Sang’s scalp instantly tingled.

At this moment, the Sha Lu Dragon and the He Huang Spider King, who were staring at Ya Bao, shifted their gaze downwards, looking at Lu Bao, who was radiating with the light of evolution.

Just as Qiao Sang’s heart pounded wildly, and she was extremely conflicted about whether to have Xiao Xunbao perform Space Movement for safety, Ya Bao once again transformed into a flash of fire and charged over!

“Sha Lu!”

The Sha Lu Dragon was clearly greatly annoyed by Ya Bao, and its attention immediately focused. It roared, and countless yellow sands around it instantly formed a storm, rushing towards Ya Bao with terrifying power!

Ya Bao teleported, disappearing midway and appearing above the Sha Lu Dragon.

It opened its mouth.

A Flame Qilu head, several meters large and condensed from flames, suddenly appeared, synchronizing its posture, revealing burning, boiling red Fire Fang, and bit down heavily.

At this precise moment, the He Huang Spider King extended its long leg, forming a white long blade that flickered in the chaos, sweeping horizontally towards Ya Bao.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao’s eyes were wild; it made no attempt to dodge.

The He Huang Spider King’s attack would hit Ya Bao first… Qiao Sang looked at the situation in front of her and subconsciously issued a command:

“Xiao Xunbao, Telekinesis!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

The He Huang Spider King’s leg paused in mid-air for a second.

In this one-second gap, Ya Bao used Fire Fang to bite downwards.

“Sha Lu!”

The Sha Lu Dragon did not show any expression of pain; instead, it became even more enraged.

With its cry, the yellow sand instantly enveloped Ya Bao, then suddenly spiraled upwards, and finally slammed it heavily onto the ground.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao struggled to get up.

It knew its Yu Beast Master was nearby; if it didn’t fight, these guys would very likely focus their attention on its Yu Beast Master…

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao mustered its courage, glaring at the He Huang Spider King in front of it.

The He Huang Spider King did not speak; instead, it directly opened its mouth, and several white silks, half a meter wide, immediately shot out towards Xiao Xunbao.

Just hold on a little longer, and Lu Bao’s evolution will be complete… Qiao Sang took a deep breath, just about to issue a command.

“Ice Ai.”

At this moment, a cold voice sounded from the side.

As this voice rang out, a terrifying Ice Cone, like a small iceberg, appeared simultaneously above the He Huang Spider King!

“Heh heh.”

The He Huang Spider King sensed the danger, and its white silk suddenly changed direction, extending wildly upwards to entangle the gigantic Ice Cone.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned her head.

She saw a Pet about six meters in size, almost entirely covered in deep blue scales, with light blue ice crystal-like patterns on its abdomen, a rhomboid white gem embedded in the center of its forehead, two extraordinarily beautiful tails—one covered in blue scales with purple stripes, and the other covered in white scales with deep blue stripes—strikingly entering her vision, impacting her sight.

Ice Aipalu… Qiao Sang quickly composed herself, suppressing her excited emotions, and said loudly:

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao immediately understood its Yu Beast Master’s meaning and called out.

Immediately after, its eyes glowed blue. (End of Chapter)
