Chapter 864: Convergence

Mi Jiala paused her hand seal motion.

“Boss, what are you talking about…?” Yuan Jiewen looked over with a bewildered expression.

“Help the wild Pets turn the river water here into clean water?”

“How to help?”

“Could it be that while converting water to drink sewage, you also use Healing Light to heal?”

“This, this can’t be, right?”

The Water Knot Knight still didn’t speak.

However, the gloom in its eyes dissipated a little, revealing an expression of “you continue.”

Qiao Sang now had some understanding of Pet micro-expressions; although the Water Knot Knight didn’t speak, she still saw a slight loosening in its eyes.

It seemed that purifying this river water was really important to the Water Knot Knight…

Qiao Sang felt a sense of relief and had greater confidence in the upcoming communication.

She covered her mouth and nose, saying, “It’s impossible for you to completely drain the sewage here by using water to transform it with these people, but if you let us out later, I can help you drain the sewage here.”

“How to drain this…?” Mi Jiala looked at the dirty, foul-smelling, seemingly endless black river water in front of her, thinking, could it be that Qiao Sang was preparing to use rhetoric to stall for time?

But what was the point of stalling for time?

Mi Jiala couldn’t quite see what her student planned to do next.

“Water Knot?”

The Water Knot Knight, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, asking, “How do you plan to do it?”

“Yaya.”

Yabao translated simultaneously.

“Alright…” Qiao Sang didn’t answer, then looked at Lubao and nodded at her.

“Ice Ai.”

Lubao, upon receiving her Yu Beast Master’s gaze, was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning within, let out a cry, and came to the edge of the foul-smelling river water.

At the same time, the eyes of everyone and every Pet present turned to her.

Including the Water Knot Knight.

“Ice Ai…”

Lubao looked down at the sewage emitting a strong foul odor and really wanted to take a deep breath.

However, considering the smell around her, she ultimately held back.

She raised her paw and slowly lowered it, trembling.

Just as she was about to stretch it in, she stopped and turned to look at her Yu Beast Master.

“Lubao, it’s up to you!” Qiao Sang understood Lubao’s inner struggle and gave her an encouraging look.

Whether we can safely leave the secret realm depends on you!

“Ice Ai…”

Lubao looked back, her eyes gradually becoming determined.

She closed her eyes and suddenly plunged her violently trembling paw into the dirty river water.

“Water Knot…”

The Water Knot Knight watched Lubao’s movements expressionlessly, with a hint of gloom in its eyes.

But the next second, as if it sensed something, its expression instantly became blank, as if it had gone silly.

Only a faint blue light, like water ripples, appeared on the surface of the dark river water.

It spread out in circles, creating ripples.

Yuan Jiewen looked at the scene before him, suddenly felt something, carefully took a breath, then came next to Lin Shi and whispered:

“Do you feel like the air around us isn’t as smelly anymore?”

Mi Jiala stared at the river water, lost in thought.

After about two or three seconds, she spoke, “It’s Purification…”

Yuan Jiewen was not unfamiliar with the skill of Purification.

Purifying negative effects, purifying curse effects, purifying dirty muddy water—different attributes and different skill effects, yet all called Purification—had always been a test point during student days.

“So it’s Purification, no wonder the boss dared to say she could help solve such dirty water…” Yuan Jiewen suddenly realized.

He was both surprised and not surprised that the boss’s Pet knew the skill of Purification.

What surprised him was that the move to purify dirty muddy water was an Ultra-level skill, extremely rare, and not something Water-type Pets could learn just by having high levels or high talents.

But since the one who knew this move was the boss, the person who had just instantly frozen all Water-type Pets and Water-type skills, and also brought down a doomsday-like flame, he immediately felt it was very reasonable.

After all, she was the boss.

Healing Light was an Ultra-level skill, so what if there was another Ultra-level skill?

In contrast, Mi Jiala’s expression was much more complex.

Because she knew Qiao Sang’s information all too well.

At this moment, having processed the scene before her, only one thought remained in her mind:

Another Ultra-level skill…

Ice Aipalu, a General-level Pet, actually had three Ultra-level skills…

The faint blue light ripples spread out in circles.

The color of the dark river water gradually lightened, becoming light black.

Suddenly, the river water kept bubbling, and one by one, wild Pets with black spots on their bodies, looking very weak, emerged from the water and looked at Lubao, who was performing Purification.

“Holy cow, there are actually so many wild Pets in here…” Qiao Sang instinctively felt a chill in her heart, but when she saw the state of these Water-type wild Pets, she was stunned.

Only by staying in such sewage for a long time would they turn into this appearance, right…

“Ice Ai…”

As thoughts flickered, Lubao’s forehead was sweating, she opened her eyes, and extended her paw.

The faint blue light ripples disappeared in the river water.

One by one, the Water-type Pets looked at Lubao with eager eyes.

Their eyes were as if they were looking at a suddenly appearing deity.

“Ice Ai…”

Lubao looked at the appearance of the Water-type Pets in front of her and was stunned.

Below the invisible ground, the spreading water completely disappeared.

“Water Knot…”

The Water Knot Knight carefully swam to the shore, its movements gentle as if afraid of startling someone, it looked at Lubao, remained silent for two seconds, then let out a soft cry.

This voice, this attitude, this expression, showed no trace of its previous arrogant demeanor.

Lubao ignored it, turned around, and slowly walked to her Yu Beast Master’s side.

Only then did the Water Knot Knight’s gaze turn to Qiao Sang, revealing a profound expression, as if contemplating something.

“Good heavens, that voice is so soft… Hey, why are you looking at me like that…?” Qiao Sang complained internally, then looked at Yabao.

“Yaya.”

Yabao understood her Yu Beast Master’s meaning and translated appropriately.

“This guy is asking if Lubao can stay.”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

She was actually trying to poach her Pet!

Qiao Sang immediately said, “No, we are together.”

“Water Knot.”

The Water Knot Knight stared at Qiao Sang for two seconds, then sighed and let out a cry, revealing an expression of compromise.

“Yaya.”

Yabao looked at her Yu Beast Master.

“This guy says he wants you to stay too.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“We agreed, I help you purify this sewage, and you let us leave safely,” Qiao Sang said.

“Water Knot.”

The Water Knot Knight’s attitude had improved a lot; it responded to everything.

It glanced at the light black river water and let out a cry, indicating that the water here had not yet been completely purified.

“This water is too dirty, it can’t be completely purified in one go.” Qiao Sang waved her hand, “You know, my Lubao consumed a lot of energy just now fighting with you, she needs to rest and recover energy before she can continue to help you purify.”

“Water Knot!”

The Water Knot Knight glanced at Lubao, then suddenly let out a loud cry.

All the Water-type Pets in the river perked up and plunged their heads into the water.

“Boss, it’s probably not possible for this river water to be completely purified, right?” Yuan Jiewen walked forward and asked in a low voice.

“It’s okay, every bit of Purification helps, let’s see how it goes first,” Qiao Sang said.

To be honest, she also felt that Lubao couldn’t completely purify this river water in a short time, not to mention the degree and scope of the river’s pollution, Lubao’s Purification level was still only at the introductory level, but there was no other way, this was the only way to make the Water Knot Knight willing to let them go and communicate properly.

Seeing that the Water Knot Knight’s attitude had clearly softened, it was estimated that after a few more Purifications, they would be able to communicate even better…

Five minutes later, Water-type Pets with black spots and Water-type Pets without black spots suddenly appeared, swimming from both sides of the river.

Qiao Sang looked closely and saw that each of them was carrying plump fruit.

Some were carrying them on their backs, others were holding them high, but none let the fruit touch the dirty river water.

At this moment, a commotion came from above.

Qiao Sang looked up.

One by one, Flying-type Pets of different forms flew down, carrying fruit of different colors in their mouths.

There were also the yellow snake-like Pets encountered earlier, numbering in the dozens.

They were all biting something, dropping downwards.

For a moment, all the wild Pets converged from different directions, making for a spectacular sight. (End of Chapter)
