The roar of the King-level Pet Beast sent a shiver down everyone’s spine.
Though the Thirtieth District had plenty of wild Pet Beasts, King-level Pet Beasts of this caliber were rare. Emperor-level Pet Beasts had their own territories, which were always marked as forbidden zones. Normally, as long as humans didn’t actively intrude, they wouldn’t bother dealing with us.
Thus, employing a Beast Tamer with a King-level Pet Beast to guard the airport already demonstrated the utmost prioritization of its security facilities.
With the airport’s barrier combined with the presence of a King-level Pet Beast, wild beasts with ill intent entering the area drastically decreased.
Perhaps because King-level Pet Beasts often had high intelligence, they seemed aware that the airport was defended daily by beasts of equivalent levels, making it hard to breach. Hence, none had ever voluntarily tried to invade.
This was the first time they had encountered a King-level Pet Beast charging into the airport.
The appearance of the Grass Candle Monster weighed heavily on the staff’s hearts, their gazes repeatedly shifting toward Aqiel, Beast Tamer of the Lightning Fury Horse, and today’s stationed King-level Pet Beast, the Suspended Crocodile, hoping they could resolve the situation without inflicting damage on the aircraft.
Aqiel stared at the Grass Candle Monster with a grim expression, feeling deeply troubled over how to deal with it.
Though the airport had his Lightning Fury Horse and the Suspended Crocodile, the Beast Tamer for the latter wasn’t present, making communication impossible and cooperation even harder.
Furthermore, he had to consider the dozen or so planes parked nearby, which prevented him from fighting at full force, significantly reducing combat effectiveness.
This is a tough spot...
Meanwhile, the Grass Candle Monster, the focus of everyone’s attention, paid no heed to the likewise King-level Lightning Fury Horse or Suspended Crocodile. Instead, its furious gaze was fixed firmly on Qiao Sang.
To the Grass Candle Monster, the moment this human reabsorbed her bird and locked eyes with it for those two seconds, her gaze seemed brimming with taunts and jeers. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Pure, blatant provocation!
"Grass Candle!"
The Grass Candle Monster couldn’t endure it any longer. It let out a sharp cry, its eyes shimmering with a violet glow.
Instantly, the world plunged into darkness.
The once-clear night sky was enveloped in an impenetrable blackness, devoid of any light.
Even though Qiao Sang had been enhanced with backfeeding and possessed decent night vision, she could only make out the dual pairs of flame wings belonging to Yaobao.
Even the flame wings seemed dimmed, their lighting power suppressed by the dark forces, shrouding their brilliance.
"We need to go!" With the memory of their earlier eye contact, Qiao Sang had a strong hunch the Grass Candle Monster was targeting her specifically. She didn’t hesitate for even a second and opted for immediate retreat.
"Xun Xun!"
Hearing those words, the passengers grew a bit less frantic.
A pregnant woman gazed out through the glass walls.
When it hadn’t been entirely dark earlier, she had seen the young girl who had saved her standing outside.
Her eyes were filled with worry.
"Please, you must be safe..."
...
Dark Imprisonment... Realizing Little Xun Bao couldn’t execute Spatial Movement, Qiao Sang immediately deduced the skill currently being employed by the Grass Candle Monster.
A high-level Spectral-type skill, Dark Imprisonment. Activating this skill could turn a designated area into utter darkness, trapping all living beings within it, rendering escape impossible, visibility nonexistent, and signals jammed. Prolonged exposure to this environment carried a significant risk of psychological breakdown for its targets.
Thank goodness Yaobao was here... Feeling the soft fur beneath her palm and the faint warmth radiating from Yaobao’s flame wings, Qiao Sang managed to find a shred of solace amidst the dread.
Suddenly, from above, there came a deafening "boom!"
Thunder rolled, and lightning crackled like frenzied serpents twisting through the sky, abruptly flashing with explosive prominence, briefly illuminating the engulfing darkness.
