Chapter 853: Brush points (two in one)

“Please present your pet tamer badge,” the guard at the entrance to the secret realm said.

Secret realms were not entered casually.

Firstly, ordinary people were not allowed to enter secret realms, and secondly, higher-level secret realms had correspondingly higher requirements for the Yu Beast Masters entering them.

However, if one did not meet the requirements but still wanted to sneak in, there were many ways.

As long as one paid a price, there would always be Pets with special skills that could help.

Qiao Sang, Lin Shi, and Yuan Jiewen successively handed over their pet tamer badges.

The guard placed them in the corresponding instrument for a scan, then allowed them to pass.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to step inside, a voice called out from the side:

“Have you bought insurance? You must buy insurance before going in! Our Human Pet Insurance…”

Qiao Sang didn’t listen to the rest, stepping into the secret realm.

It was like a pebble thrown into water, stirring up rapid ripples, but the barrier quickly returned to calm.

Everything before her eyes turned black.

A moment later, the scene returned.

Qiao Sang found herself in a dense forest. She didn’t know if there was no sunlight inside the secret realm, or if the dense trees blocked out the sky, preventing sunlight from filtering through the gaps, making the surroundings appear dim.

Fortunately, some faint light and Ya Bao’s dazzling flame wings allowed her to make out the outlines of the surrounding scenery.

There were no signs of people around, but the traces of battle were exceptionally clear.

Crushed trees lay haphazardly, fallen leaves were scattered, and many Poison Fang Worms lay unconscious on the ground.

“It seems the people ahead of us just left not long ago,” Lin Shi said.

Secret realms could not be entered at any time; after one group entered, there had to be a time interval before the next group could enter again. It was said that if too many people surged in at once, it could easily cause damage to the secret realm passage.

Qiao Sang was about to speak when, at that moment, her ears twitched, catching movement from the upper right.

“Yaya!”

At the same time, Ya Bao also noticed the movement. Without waiting for its Yu Beast Master to speak, it showed an excited expression, cried out, opened its mouth, and a dazzling, rotating flame instantly shot towards the upper right.

“Poison Fang!”

With a scream, two scorched figures fell from the tree.

Upon closer inspection, they were indeed Poison Fang Worms.

This also completely brought Yuan Jiewen back from his daze.

He looked at the black-haired girl in front of him with a complex expression, then took out two gas masks from his backpack and said, “Wear these. There are many Poison Fang Worms in this area, and their breath contains toxins, so the air nearby is poisonous. Wearing these will be safer.”

He paused, then continued:

“I didn’t know beforehand that the team would be three people, so I only brought two gas masks. You two use these.”

Qiao Sang had received feedback from Lu Bao, so even the potent venom of General-level Pets couldn’t immediately poison her. As Beginner Pets, the Poison Fang Worms’ toxins were harmless to her.

As soon as his voice fell, a rustling sound suddenly erupted all around.

Holy crap… Qiao Sang looked up, her pupils constricting, and she couldn’t help but curse under her breath.

She saw a large group of Poison Fang Worms, grinning and baring their two poisonous fangs, densely packed, almost simultaneously darting out from all directions in an instant, occupying all the vision above them, and attacking them.

Although this scene seemed to have been encountered on Super Dormant Star, the sudden appearance of a large group of Bug-type Pets still made goosebumps instantly rise all over her body.

Yuan Jiewen also looked at the sky, his already pale face turning even whiter.

Beside him, a Pet with two legs, mostly blue, with cat-like whiskers, and holding blade-like scallops in its claws, stepped forward with a serious expression, blocking its Yu Beast Master.

Lin Shi looked at the group of snarling Poison Fang Worms above her head with a calm expression. Then she thought of something, moved a step closer to Qiao Sang’s side, and said with a slight tremor in her voice:

“Protect me.”

“Xiao Xunbao! Steel Treasure!” Qiao Sang shouted.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao appeared, its eyes glowing blue.

A Poison Fang Worm, baring its poisonous fangs, was directly above Xiao Xunbao’s head.

A drop of sticky purple venom was seen dripping from its sharp fangs, less than a centimeter away from Xiao Xunbao.

Suddenly, an invisible force rippled out, freezing everything in place.

The venom stopped at its original position, no longer falling.

The Poison Fang Worms stopped in mid-air, wanting to struggle, but found they couldn’t move at all. They couldn’t help but widen their eyes, revealing expressions of panic.

“Steel Slash!”

Steel Treasure’s body trembled, and all its feathers, glowing purple, instantly shot out in unison.

Countless purple wings, like blades, cut across the bodies of the Poison Fang Worms with powerful tearing force.

The Poison Fang Worms’ bodies were already fixed by telekinesis, so there was no way they could dodge.

“Poison Fang!”

“Poison Fang!”

One Poison Fang Worm after another let out a miserable cry.

After continuously slashing for half a minute, Steel Treasure spread its wings, and all the purple-glowing feathers flew back onto its body.

Xiao Xunbao silently took a step back, avoiding the venom from above, and then its eyes returned to their original golden color.

The sky full of Poison Fang Worms fell densely, their eyes closed, all having fainted.

“Yaya…”

Ya Bao looked at everything before it and suddenly understood why its Yu Beast Master didn’t tell it to attack. These guys were simply too weak…

Steel Treasure could now directly evolve into a Steel Sword Falcon as long as its Points were maxed out. These Poison Fang Worms were perfect for it to gain Points… Qiao Sang looked at Yuan Jiewen beside her and said:

“I have some resistance to poison, so I won’t wear a gas mask. You two wear them.”

“Okay, okay…” Yuan Jiewen looked at the ground full of Poison Fang Worms, his mind blank, and answered subconsciously.

As Beginner Pets, Poison Fang Worms were naturally nothing to a C-level Beastmaster, but no matter how weak a Pet was, if there were many of them, the danger factor was completely different.

Many teams who had made thorough preparations would still take at least a few minutes to deal with them here.

But just now, less than a minute had passed, and all the Poison Fang Worms were dealt with, and by one person alone… Yuan Jiewen looked at Qiao Sang, his eyes as if looking at an unapproachable big shot.

He was wrong.

He had just suspected that the other party was only deceiving him into coming here by saying they had a Pet with Healing Light…

A satisfied look flashed in Lin Shi’s eyes, and then she extended her hand towards Yuan Jiewen:

“Gas mask.”

Yuan Jiewen came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze, and quickly handed over the gas mask.

“Which direction did you go last time?” Qiao Sang asked while the two were putting on their gas masks.

“There.” Yuan Jiewen pointed to the southwest direction.

Southwest, Wonderful Hair Scorpion, eats hair… The information Qiao Sang had looked up last night flashed through her mind. She glanced at the hair of her two teammates and asked:

“Did you bring wigs?”

Wigs? Lin Shi didn’t speak.

“I did.” Yuan Jiewen patted the backpack behind him.

As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at the backpack behind Qiao Sang, thinking, ‘Such a small bag, I wonder what she brought. Even if it was all wigs, she probably couldn’t fit many, right?’

Lin Shi then spoke, “I didn’t bring any.”

Qiao Sang looked at her: “It’s fine, just follow me.”

Wonderful Hair Scorpion, an Intermediate Poison-type Pet. Just one control and one attack, like how they dealt with the Poison Fang Worms.

Lin Shi nodded with a trusting “Mm.”

Yuan Jiewen instantly understood that among the three of them, the main force of the team was probably the girl in front of him.

The three set off towards the southwest.

Qiao Sang didn’t quite dare to let Xiao Xunbao use Space Movement directly. If it were just her, it would be fine, but now there was a big client who could produce S-grade Youlei beside her. It would be bad if the place they moved to happened to have wild Pets waiting.

After all, Xiao Xunbao had a record of such incidents.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure flew ahead, scouting, occasionally calling out in Qiao Sang’s mind, indicating that the front was safe.

Qiao Sang was not careless, still cautiously observing her surroundings.

The dangers Steel Treasure could see were all visible to the naked eye. There were also many wild Pets hidden that wouldn’t reveal themselves directly, like the Swamp Mud People to the northwest.

Ya Bao maintained its original large size, and its powerful aura caused weaker wild Pets to avoid it, making the journey relatively safe.

“Steel Slash.”

Suddenly, Steel Treasure cried out, indicating that it saw Wonderful Hair Scorpions ahead.

As expected of Steel Treasure, it remembered the appearance of the Wonderful Hair Scorpion after only being told once last night… Qiao Sang sensed the distance to Steel Treasure and said:

“We’ll reach the Wonderful Hair Scorpion’s territory in about 500 meters. Get your wigs ready.”

“Understood.” Yuan Jiewen quickly moved his backpack to the front, took out a long yellow wig, put it on his head, and held one in each hand.

Then he thought of something, handed a long red wig in his hand to Lin Shi, and kindly said:

“Here’s one for you.”

Lin Shi looked at the red wig in his hand, then at the yellow wig on his head, was silent for a few seconds, and reached out to take it:

“Thank you.”

“Wear it now! We’ll be at the Wonderful Hair Scorpion’s territory soon,” Qiao Sang urged, seeing that the big client hadn’t put on the wig for a while.

Lin Shi was silent for a moment again, then handed the wig over: “How about you wear it instead? I don’t see you having brought a wig either.”

The big shot didn’t even bring a wig… Yuan Jiewen immediately felt that his chance to shine had arrived. He reached into his backpack, ready to pull out another one.

“Who says I didn’t bring one?” Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao: “You can take them out now.”

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao took off its ring and quickly pulled out two wigs.

It handed the black one to its Yu Beast Master and skillfully put on the pink afro wig for itself.

Seeing this, Yuan Jiewen silently withdrew his hand from his backpack.

“You should wear it quickly,” Qiao Sang urged again: “Among the three of us, you are the most likely to be attacked.”

The big client only had one High Level Ning Ming Frog by her side, while Yuan Jiewen had the General-level Pet Bei Renhao with him. Most wild Pets were bullies and knew to pick on the weaker ones first.

Lin Shi was silent for a moment, then put the red wig on her head.

Qiao Sang was satisfied.

Soon, the three saw a foul-smelling mud pit.

Hair of different colors floated on it, with black hair making up the majority. The bottom looked deep and dark, somewhat eerie, terrifying, and disgusting.

“Ice Ai…”

Lu Bao sniffed the air, showing a disgusted expression, and silently pulled the zipper of its backpack up a little further with its paw.

Several small Wonderful Hair Scorpions lay beside the mud pit, staring intently at the hair of Qiao Sang, the two others, and Xiao Xunbao, seemingly not at all afraid of the arrival of outsiders.

“Be careful, the Wonderful Hair Scorpions are all inside this mud pit,” Yuan Jiewen cautiously said.

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle…”

As soon as his voice fell, the surface of the mud pit suddenly began to boil, and countless black bubbles burst in the mud.

Immediately after, Wonderful Hair Scorpions, dark red all over and with a head of obviously foul-smelling hair, darted out from within, heading straight for the hair of Qiao Sang and the two others, including Xiao Xunbao.

Yuan Jiewen quickly threw out the wigs from his backpack one by one.

The Wonderful Hair Scorpions rushing towards him suddenly changed direction and pounced on the wigs.

At the same time, Bei Renhao, beside him, pressed its claw to the ground.

A water pillar about a meter in diameter suddenly shot out from the ground, like a thick water whip, fiercely lashing at the Wonderful Hair Scorpions gathered at the wigs.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao playfully teleported back and forth among the Wonderful Hair Scorpions, dodging their attacks.

Lin Shi moved a step towards Qiao Sang’s direction without changing her expression, and said with a slight tremor in her voice:

“Protect me.”

Qiao Sang threw out her own wig and loudly said: “Scorching Wind!”

The Wonderful Hair Scorpions rushing towards them instantly pounced in the direction of the wig.

“Yaya!”

Ya Bao opened its mouth, and a scorching, strong Typhoon filled with the aura of flames instantly swept all the Wonderful Hair Scorpions in front of it into its embrace.

Scorching Wind Ya Bao had only practiced to the Beginner level of Great Accomplishment, but it was already more than enough to deal with a group of Intermediate Pets.

“Wonderful Hair!”

“Wonderful Hair!”

The dark red on the Wonderful Hair Scorpions’ bodies instantly turned crimson. Screaming, they dropped into the mud pit like a red downpour.

“Hair! Hair!”

The few small Wonderful Hair Scorpions on the side, who were originally poised to attack, were startled by the scene before them. They scrambled and tumbled, quickly jumping into the mud pit.

“Big shot, amazing!” Yuan Jiewen’s eyes lit up, and he subconsciously wanted to pat Qiao Sang’s shoulder.

Big shot? Calling me? Qiao Sang glanced at him.

Yuan Jiewen thought the big shot was displeased with his action, so he quickly withdrew his hand and got to the Point: “Next, we just need to use Flying-type Pets to cross, but be careful, don’t fly higher than ten meters, or you’ll easily be attacked by other wild Pets.”

Lin Shi looked at Qiao Sang: “I don’t have a Flying-type Pet.”

Yuan Jiewen froze for a moment.

As a member of the central region, almost everyone had a Flying-type Pet. He had never thought that the teammate the big shot brought would not have a Flying-type Pet.

“It’s fine, we’ll just go directly,” Qiao Sang said, then looked at Xiao Xunbao: “To the other side.”

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao adjusted its slightly crooked wig, and its eyes glowed blue.

The next second, the group arrived on the other side of the mud pit.

Space Movement? Yuan Jiewen was stunned and couldn’t help but ask:

“Big shot, why didn’t we just move directly to the other side from the beginning?”

Because I want to gain Points… Qiao Sang naturally accepted the title of ‘big shot’ and said: “If we had gone over from the beginning, the Wonderful Hair Scorpions would have attacked from behind. It’s better to deal with them head-on first.”

Yuan Jiewen showed a look of understanding, thinking that the big shot’s Space Movement couldn’t move too far at once.
