Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 801: Siege (two in one)
Xiao Xunbao was actually held hostage… Qiao Sang was both surprised and unsurprised by the scene before her.
She had known for a long time that Xiao Xunbao was most likely taken by Aodinihi, and she had thought that Xiao Xunbao would use its social skills to get along well with the other party.
After all, Xiao Xunbao hadn’t been injured for so long, which meant that Aodinihi hadn’t done anything to it.
She just didn’t expect to see Xiao Xunbao again in this situation…
Being held hostage by an Illusion Beast, and having its mouth covered at such close range, how many Pets could receive such treatment… Qiao Sang’s heart tingled, and she had an impulse to record this scene.
Although Aodinihi’s danger level was very high, given that Xiao Xunbao hadn’t been injured for so long and there was a pile of snacks on the ground, Qiao Sang understood that the Aodinihi in front of her was not an aggressive, short-tempered Pet.
Realizing that Xiao Xunbao was not in danger at the moment, she calmly pulled out her phone, opened the camera, and took a picture of the scene before her.
Because her phone was set to silent, and everyone’s attention was on Aodinihi, no one noticed Qiao Sang’s actions.
Only Steel Treasure silently glanced over.
Seeing her Yu Beast Master’s actions, Xiao Xunbao understood that she was taking a photo, and instinctively filled its eyes with tears, making itself look even more pitiful.
After the photo was taken, its eyes immediately filled with grievance.
It was being held hostage, and its Yu Beast Master was actually taking photos!
Qiao Sang understood the meaning in Xiao Xunbao’s eyes. She awkwardly put away her phone, raised her hand, and prepared to summon Xiao Xunbao back to the yu beast codex first, to escape Aodinihi’s clutches.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Kong Qikesi next to them, without any command, had blue light radiating from its eyes.
Instantly, a translucent Barrier enveloped Aodinihi and Xiao Xunbao.
Recall failed.
“Didi!”
Aodinihi realized something was wrong, released its claw covering Xiao Xunbao, and raised it to the top of the Barrier.
The moment it touched, a layer of blue light appeared on its claw.
The next second, the Barrier disintegrated inch by inch, collapsing with a roar.
Kong Qikesi opened its mouth, and a white beam of light, containing terrifying power, instantly shot out from deep within its throat towards Aodinihi’s location.
Because of its immense power, Xiao Xunbao was also within the range of the shot.
Qiao Sang’s pupils constricted, and she quickly raised her hand.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
At this moment, Xiao Xunbao appeared beside her, looking terrified.
Qiao Sang’s hand paused.
“Bang!”
At the same time, with a loud bang, the location where the light beam was shot directly pierced through the cave wall, blasting out a large hole.
Light from outside shone in.
Scattered rocks fell downwards.
Aodinihi was gone.
“Chase!” Lu Xiu Ma Er called out.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Qikesi disappeared from its original spot.
Lu Xiu Ma Er walked towards the large hole.
“What are you doing?” Qiao Sang asked, her tone slightly cold.
After she called out, she suddenly realized that the other party might be a big shot even more powerful than Teacher Pilit, and her heart immediately quailed, but she still maintained a stern expression on the surface.
Lu Xiu Ma Er’s mind was completely on Aodinihi at this moment. He didn’t stop, and continued to walk out without looking back.
Aogefu understood what Qiao Sang was unhappy about, and smoothed things over, saying, “There was no other way just now. Ghost Ring King was too close to Aodinihi, and we had to quickly take down Aodinihi, so Ghost Ring King was bound to be affected. Your Ice Aipalu has Healing Light, so Ghost Ring King should be fine.”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao cursed loudly from the side, very displeased.
Is this even human language!
Qiao Sang ignored him and strode towards the direction of the large hole.
The explosion outside was too loud; Aodinihi and Kong Qikesi must be fighting outside.
Pilit, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, “I’ll go take a look. Don’t get too close to the fighting area. If you sense something is wrong, leave immediately.”
He paused, then glanced at Aogefu, and smiled:
“Please help me protect Qiao Sang.”
With that, he strode outside.
Aogefu glanced at the Fa Miao E that hadn’t left by the side.
Protect?
With a Royal-level Pet following along, does she still need him to protect her?
Is he trying to restrict this person’s actions? Qiao Sang pondered Teacher Pilit’s intention, and her steps outward were no longer so urgent.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao looked at its Yu Beast Master’s appearance and became a little anxious.
Aodinihi was almost persuaded by it to play the flute; there was no need to fight it!
What? Persuaded to play the flute? Qiao Sang’s heart stirred when she heard Xiao Xunbao’s voice, but considering there was still another person nearby, she communicated with Steel Treasure in her consciousness:
【Tell Xiao Xunbao not to rush, I’ll figure something out.】
“Steel Slash.”
After listening, Steel Treasure looked at Xiao Xunbao and called out, indicating that these two humans were not on the same side as their Yu Beast Master, and their Yu Beast Master couldn’t win, so they had to act according to the situation. Don’t worry.
Guangchim silently glanced over.
Hey, hey, hey! Who told you to translate like that! Qiao Sang yelled internally, while pretending not to hear anything on the surface.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao quieted down, sighed, and then looked worriedly outside.
Although Aodinihi had held it hostage just now, it could feel that the guy had no ill intentions.
If possible, it still wanted to persuade Aodinihi to play the flute with food, and then it would become the boss.
Aogefu followed beside Qiao Sang.
The two walked out of the cave, one after the other.
In the high sky, the attacks of the three Pets were extremely fast.
Kong Qikesi and a Pet that hadn’t appeared before were besieging Aodinihi.
White and black beams of light struck together.
Aodinihi suddenly disappeared from its original spot.
The white and black light beams collided, and the terrifying shockwave seemed to tear the air, destroying everything around it like a destructive force.
Although they were high in the sky, far from the ground, the open area was still affected by the shockwave.
Dust flew, shattered rocks splattered, and the wild grass in the crevices swayed wildly.
Kong Qikesi seemed to be able to sense Aodinihi’s location. A silver-white Energy Ball, one meter in diameter, simultaneously condensed at the end of each of its tails, and then it launched a concentrated attack towards a certain spot in the upper right.
Aodinihi reappeared, its eyes glowing blue, and a thick Light Wall appeared in front of it.
The three silver-white Energy Balls struck the Light Wall, and were actually blocked for a moment.
“Popo!”
At this moment, a bird-type Pet, about two meters tall, wearing black miniature shrinking wristbands on its claws, with a red base skin and black branches embedded within it, and two forward-pointing toes and one backward-pointing toe on each foot, appeared behind Aodinihi, and cried out loudly.
The sky completely turned black, and all the black clouds gathered in the sky above Aodinihi.
Carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, a black longsword, dozens of meters long, slowly appeared in the black clouds, falling vertically towards Aodinihi.
“What exactly are you trying to do?” Qiao Sang asked, looking up at the scene in the sky.
“This is an Illusion Beast, what do you think?” Aogefu asked back, his gaze intently fixed on Aodinihi.
“You want to contract it?” Qiao Sang asked again.
“Me?” Aogefu laughed when he heard this, “This is Aodinihi, it’s not my turn.”
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment: “But didn’t that person say the contract page was already full?”
“Yu Beast Masters can break contracts.” Aogefu looked at Lu Xiu Ma Er in the distance: “It just requires some cost, but compared to contracting Aodinihi, this cost is nothing.”
Forcibly breaking a contract would inevitably damage the brain region, but for an elder Yu Beast Master whose brain region had not increased for a long time and whose lifespan was nearing its end, it would be better to break the contract and damage the brain region in exchange for an Illusion Beast.
Even if it couldn’t increase lifespan, contracting an Illusion Beast would be enough to leave a name in history and be remembered by future generations.
What’s more, this Illusion Beast was Aodinihi.
If lucky, and they reached the predicted Pet evolution location and successfully evolved the Pet before the lifespan ran out, receiving a boost in return, they could live for a while longer.
As expected, they came to contract Aodinihi… Qiao Sang had a feeling of ‘I knew it’.
Aogefu then thought of something and continued, “Don’t worry, if all goes well, we’ll let Aodinihi predict for you once.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
You’re actually quite nice.
To be honest, it was understandable that the other party wanted to contract an Illusion Beast.
No Yu Beast Master didn’t want to contract an Illusion Beast.
If the other party contracted an Illusion Beast and was willing to help with predictions, it wouldn’t conflict with her goal.
She wasn’t a member of the Illusion Beast Protection Association, constantly shouting that every Illusion Beast must have freedom.
It’s just… Qiao Sang looked at Aodinihi in the sky, feeling an inexplicable pang of pity, recalling Praying Luck La waving at her before entering the secret realm rift.
As her thoughts flickered, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky.
Wait!
What’s going on?
Newdi Kaka?
It was summoned back?
Teacher Pilit is helping that person attack Aodinihi?!
Qiao Sang’s eyes widened.
…
In the high sky.
“Didi!”
Aodinihi sensed the crisis and wanted to move, but found that it couldn’t move at all.
It sensed something, and its gaze shifted diagonally upwards, seeing the third opponent.
Aodinihi’s eyes became sharp, and it picked up the red flute.
At this moment, a strange voice appeared in its mind:
“Don’t move, trust me.”
Aodinihi was stunned by this sudden voice.
In that moment of愣神, the third Pet that appeared turned into a white light and rushed in front of it, even faster than the black sword above its head!
“Didi?”
The imagined pain did not come; instead, there was a feeling of being enveloped in warmth.
Dazzling white light completely enveloped Aodinihi’s figure, so a thin film wrapped around Aodinihi was not visible.
When the thin film completely enveloped Aodinihi, its figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to Fa Miao E.
At this time, almost everyone and every Pet’s attention was on the white light, and they didn’t notice the movement here.
Fa Miao E slightly spread its wings, blocking Aodinihi’s figure.
Then, its wings lightly trembled, scattering some scales.
Aodinihi’s aura was immediately concealed.
“Ice Ai…”
Lu Bao’s head popped out of the backpack, and its eyes met with the bewildered Aodinihi.
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, the ground vibrated and cracked, and nearly a hundred meters of ground completely collapsed, forming a shocking and astonishing huge pit.
This was even with Newdi Kaka wearing a miniature shrinking wristband.
Lu Xiu Ma Er quickly walked to the edge of the huge pit. Seeing no sign of Aodinihi inside, his face immediately darkened as he looked at Pilit, who was walking towards him, and questioned:
“Where’s Aodinihi?”
“Aodinihi? Isn’t it inside?” Pilit, with a “What are you talking about” expression, came to the edge of the huge pit, looked down, and frowned:
“How could it not be inside?”
Newdi Kaka jumped out of the huge pit and came to Pilit’s side.
“Is this your Pet?” Lu Xiu Ma Er looked over with sharp eyes.
Pilit grunted in affirmation.
Lu Xiu Ma Er angrily said, “If it weren’t for your Pet suddenly attacking just now, Aodinihi would have been defeated by my Moon Nightmare already!”
“Be reasonable, I was helping. If my Newdi Kaka hadn’t temporarily controlled Aodinihi with psychic power, would it have foolishly stayed there for you to attack?” Pilit said coldly, “That Nightmare Sword attack is so slow; by the time it lands on Aodinihi, it would have already run off.”
Even without you, Kong Qikesi would have controlled its movements… Lu Xiu Ma Er thought to himself.
He had calmed down by now, so he didn’t say that out loud.
Although it was a bit redundant, the other party had indeed been helping just now.
Moreover, this guy had two Royal-level Pets and was Qiao Sang’s mentor, so he didn’t want to fall out with him.
“Kong Qikesi, sense it.” Lu Xiu Ma Er said in a deep voice.
Seeing this, Pilit felt a little nervous.
The Insensitive Powder on Fa Miao E could conceal a creature’s aura and reduce its presence, but its level wasn’t high, so if one investigated carefully, it might indeed be sensed.
Kong Qikesi was a Royal-level Pet after all; its perception should be extremely keen.
To be honest, he didn’t really want to confront the other party head-on.
He had seen the star array of the Moon Nightmare that the other party summoned just now; its level was one higher than his own.
He wasn’t necessarily guaranteed to win.
Moreover, Qiao Sang was still here…
“Gugu!”
Just as he was thinking, a roar suddenly came from the sky.
Pilit looked up and saw it was Solid Armor Emperor. He rejoiced inwardly, but on the surface, he frowned, looking serious:
“This Solid Armor Emperor is coming for us. We’ll deal with it first, otherwise, we won’t be able to properly search for Aodinihi.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Solid Armor Emperor flapped its wings forcefully in coordination.
Immediately, a fierce and violent Typhoon swept over, interrupting Kong Qikesi’s sensing.
Lu Xiu Ma Er’s expression darkened as he stared intently at the uninvited guest in the sky.
“Qiao Sang, you go first!” Pilit shouted.
Newdi Kaka, Fa Miao E, Kong Qikesi, Moon Nightmare—four Royal-level Pets are here, I probably don’t need to leave, right… Qiao Sang’s hair flew wildly as she hugged a nearby tree trunk and thought to herself.
At the same time, Aodinihi glanced at the area swept by the Typhoon, then looked at Xiao Xunbao, who had its back to it, and finally locked its gaze on the ring on its ear, instantly teleporting into it and disappearing.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
At the moment it drilled in, Xiao Xunbao seemed to sense something, and its body suddenly stiffened.
“Ice Ai…”
Lu Bao, who witnessed the entire process, hesitated, considering there was still a human and an unfamiliar Pet nearby.
Never mind, this level of battle is not something I can get involved in… Qiao Sang was about to tell Xiao Xunbao to use Space Movement.
At this moment, Aogefu suddenly spoke:
“Go.”
Guangchim’s eyes glowed blue.
The next second, the two people and all the Pets disappeared from their original spot.
Pilit, who had been paying attention to the movement here, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fa Miao E would take Aodinihi.
Now Aodinihi should have gone elsewhere with Qiao Sang.
That Aogefu was a B-level Beast Tamer, and with Fa Miao E nearby, even if he discovered Aodinihi’s existence, there should be no danger.
Next, he just had to shake off this Lu Xiu Ma Er and rendezvous with Qiao Sang.
