Chapter 91: Thunderbird

Thunder Swift Bird, a General-level Pet.

Its lightning-fast speed was enough to rank among the top three among Flying-type Pets of the same level in the Yuhua region.

Its developed thigh muscles, agile speed, and magnificent appearance made many Yu Beast Masters yearn for it.

Qiao Sang looked in shock at the Thunder Swift Bird, whose appearance was extremely tragic.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Thunder Swift Bird’s general shape hadn’t changed, she wouldn’t have believed that this was the king among General-level Flying-type Pets.

Qiao Sang’s body involuntarily tensed up.

Undoubtedly, this type of Pet, which should not appear on Huangming Mountain, also cost 5 million.

Qiao Sang silently looked at the two Pets in front of her, with no reaction on her face.

Only her tightly clenched fists could show her nervousness.

One Thunder Swift Bird, one Stone Helmet Spirit, and one Silver Tail Sea Serpent.

If these were not the Pets of a wanted criminal, but the Pets of an ordinary Yu Beast Master, she might even have wanted to take a picture for remembrance.

But now she only felt an unprecedented crisis.

This made her realize that this world was much more dangerous than she had imagined.

The Thunder Swift Bird spotted the unfamiliar person from a distance.

It froze for a moment, looking at the Fire Fang Dog’s sustained posture, then a strange excitement welled up in its heart.

Perhaps it was just a misconception, but Qiao Sang felt that the Thunder Swift Bird was limping over even slower, as if its injuries had suddenly worsened.

The Thunder Swift Bird dragged its crippled body to the Stone Helmet Spirit’s side, its sharp eyes giving the Fire Fang Dog a dissatisfied glance.

“Stone Helmet!”

“Stone Helmet!”

The Stone Helmet Spirit quickly stepped forward, recounting everything that had just happened.

“Thunder Swift!”

The Thunder Swift Bird pretended to flap its wings in anger, but its wing lifted halfway before it felt a sharp pain.

Its peripheral vision caught its bare, featherless left wing, and the anger on its face instantly became genuine.

“Thunder Swift!”

The Thunder Swift Bird turned its head and roared at the Fire Fang Dog, preparing to charge.

“Stone Helmet!” The Stone Helmet Spirit beside it was so frightened that it quickly blocked the Thunder Swift Bird.

“Thunder Swift! Thunder Swift!”

The Thunder Swift Bird was aggressive, looking furious, but its claws remained in place, not moving a single step forward.

Qiao Sang looked at the two Pets in front of her, pulling each other, with a strange expression.

The Stone Helmet Spirit’s concern seemed genuine, but why did this Thunder Swift Bird feel so fake?

A General-level Thunder Swift Bird, if it truly wanted to attack the Fire Fang Dog, one could understand its concern about its speed not being as fast as the Fire Fang Dog’s bite, considering its leg and wing injuries.

But what about its Thunder-type skills? Were they just for show?

Could it be afraid that the lightning would also attack its Yu Beast Master?

Qiao Sang’s thoughts raced, and she suddenly shouted, “Ya Bao!”

It must be said that the time spent together had made the Fire Fang Dog and Qiao Sang increasingly harmonious.

Upon hearing her Yu Beast Master’s voice, the Fire Fang Dog’s mouth slightly opened, poised to bite the man’s neck.

“Stone Helmet!!!”

The Stone Helmet Spirit let out an earth-shattering wail at the sight.

Meanwhile, the Thunder Swift Bird stopped its movements and excitedly looked towards the Fire Fang Dog.

The flames on the Fire Fang Dog’s fangs stopped just millimeters from the man’s neck.

The Stone Helmet Spirit let out a huge sigh of relief.

But the Thunder Swift Bird’s face showed disappointment, then it continued to angrily bark at the Fire Fang Dog, and the Stone Helmet Spirit quickly blocked in front.

Looking at the completely different reactions of the two Pets in front of her, Qiao Sang understood that this Thunder Swift Bird’s apparent anger was actually an attempt to provoke the Fire Fang Dog into truly biting down.

Not every Pet has a relationship with its Yu Beast Master like family or partners.

There are also some Yu Beast Masters who purely treat Pets as tools for making money, relentlessly exploiting them.

If a low-level Yu Beast Master, with insufficient intimacy with a Pet, causes dissatisfaction, a bad-tempered Pet might even choose to suffer backlash to break the contract.

However, for high-level Yu Beast Masters, the more developed their brain domain and the stronger their yu beast codex, the less likely a Pet is to break the contract, even if it suffers backlash.

As long as a Yu Beast Master awakens the yu beast codex to three pages, which is the level of a D-level Beastmaster, the Pet contracted with them no longer has the opportunity to actively break the contract.

Unless the Pet’s level is far higher than the Yu Beast Master’s level, but this is an impossible scenario.

High-level Pets that haven’t been contracted are mostly found in secret realms.

Their minds are already mature enough; it’s impossible to contract with humans without absolute force.

Only Yu Beast Masters who surpass them in strength can contract them.

But even if a contract is successfully made with such a high-level Pet through force, they might not be obedient.

Pets not raised from a young age can easily have disagreements with their Yu Beast Master for various reasons.

Therefore, in this world, even A-level Yu Beast Masters prefer to contract low-level Pets in their initial forms and slowly cultivate them.

But there is always a group of people in the world who think differently.

They will take the risk of contracting high-level Pets to quickly increase their strength.

Qiao Sang felt that the 5 million might be this type of person.

The Thunder Swift Bird’s behavior was clearly different from the Stone Helmet Spirit’s.

Assuming the Stone Helmet Spirit was contracted when it was still a low-level Pet, and the Thunder Swift Bird was contracted when it had already become a high-level Pet.

Then everything makes sense.

Because the Thunder Swift Bird, even with backlash, cannot break the contract, and under the influence of the contract, it cannot harm its contracted Yu Beast Master, so it wanted to use someone else’s hand to kill and then have the contract automatically dissolve.

Qiao Sang felt much more relaxed after clarifying her thoughts.

She looked up at the two Pets still pulling at each other and said, “You two must not fight. If you scare me, I’ll have the Fire Fang Dog bite off your Yu Beast Master’s neck.”

The Thunder Swift Bird froze for a moment upon hearing this, then assumed an angry posture and was about to charge over.

“Stone Helmet!”

The Stone Helmet Spirit once again blocked in front.

This time, the Thunder Swift Bird made a different move.

It raised its head and let out a long cry towards the sky, and in an instant, a startling bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, striking the location where the Stone Helmet Spirit was.

The Stone Helmet Spirit was startled; it quickly concealed its form.

The next second, the lightning mercilessly struck the ground where the Stone Helmet Spirit had been, leaving a deep crater.

The Stone Helmet Spirit reappeared behind the Thunder Swift Bird.

“Stone Helmet!”

“Stone Helmet!”

It angrily accused the Thunder Swift Bird.

The Master had said not to let the Thunder Swift Bird randomly release skills on the mountain; the sudden appearance of lightning would draw attention to this place.

And just now, that hateful human had just said those words, so how could the Thunder Swift Bird still make a move?

This was clearly intentional!

The Stone Helmet Spirit only cursed but did not retaliate.

The Thunder Swift Bird’s eyes darted around, catching sight of Qiao Sang’s position, and its still-feathered wing swung downwards in that direction.

A lightning ball with a diameter of about 20 centimeters immediately condensed.

Qiao Sang’s eyelids twitched, and she decisively turned and ran to the man’s side, using him as a shield.

Seeing this, the Thunder Swift Bird’s mouth twitched, and the direction of the lightning ball shifted, curving towards the Stone Helmet Spirit.

“Stone Helmet!!”

This time, the direction of the lightning ball changed too suddenly; the Stone Helmet Spirit was completely unprepared and took the hit head-on.

Although the Thunder Swift Bird’s condition was less than one-tenth of its peak, the power of this lightning-type attack was real; a crack appeared directly in the stone helmet on the Stone Helmet Spirit’s head.

“Stone Helmet!!!”

The Stone Helmet Spirit reached out and touched the crack, then cried out in heartbroken agony.

It looked angrily at the Thunder Swift Bird, extending its right claw forward, and a black Shadow Ball condensed in its hand.

“Stone Helmet!”

“Thunder Swift!”

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but sigh as she watched the two figures in front of her frantically releasing energy.

Pets without a Yu Beast Master are indeed like a scattered pile of sand…
