The gas drifted from a very tricky location, exactly in the blind spot of Yuan Jiewen and Shell Blade Master’s line of sight.
The invisible Little Treasure Hunter was the first to notice it, instantly moving next to its Beast Tamer while maintaining invisibility, and reached out its tongue to lick their cheek heavily.
Damn... Qiao Sang shivered, her already clear head becoming even clearer.
She pretended as if nothing had happened and continued lying down.
Little Treasure Hunter wouldn’t use Tongue Licking for no reason; it seemed that the wild pet beast in the water pond had already used Water Sleep Gas... Qiao Sang thought while holding her breath.
There are many ways to resist Water Sleep Gas, and not breathing is one of them.
The bluish gas gradually spread.
Yuan Jiewen stayed tense all the while.
An untimely drowsiness swept over him, and he instantly realized something was wrong.
Boss, the target appeared! Yuan Jiewen instinctively tensed up and looked towards Qiao Sang, but soon he thought of something and showed a very sleepy look, speaking with a voice two tones higher than usual:
"Ah, what’s going on, suddenly feeling so sleepy..."
Then with a "thud," he fell heavily to the ground.
"Shell Blade..."
Shell Blade Master’s eyelids shut uncontrollably, and when it saw its Beast Tamer fall down, its mind briefly cleared up.
It picked up the shell in its claws and gathered energy.
Instantly, the shell gathered a layer of white light, transforming into a blade.
Shell Blade Master was just about to stab its Beast Tamer in the buttocks with the tool turned into a blade.
However, at this moment, a stronger wave of Water Sleep Gas floated over.
"Shell Blade..."
Shell Blade Master’s claws loosened, and the blade gathered with white light immediately dissipated, turning back into a normal shell falling to the ground.
With a "thud," Shell Blade Master also fell down.
Ah! Shell Blade Master, you unreliable thing, you said I could be at ease... Yuan Jiewen felt a chill in his heart sensing his own pet beast’s state, holding his breath and fiercely jabbing his palm with his nails, trying to stay awake.
As time passed, veins bulged on his forehead, his face turning redder and redder.
Finally, Yuan Jiewen couldn’t hold it any longer, his mouth slightly opened, taking a small breath.
With just this, an intense drowsiness suddenly surged.
Boss, I’m relying on you... Yuan Jiewen’s last thought flashed through his mind, and he completely fell asleep.
About half a minute later, a pet beast with a body about a meter long, mostly dark blue, with yellow eyes, wide and flat teeth, and red poison sacs on both sides of its cheeks, leaped out of the water pond and came to Yuan Jiewen’s side, reaching out its claw to lift one of his feet, dragging him towards the water pond.
The shadow in the pond shook its head.
The frog-like pet beast changed its direction, intending to go towards the forest.
Suddenly, it found it couldn’t move, as if its body was fixed by something.
The frog-like pet beast lowered its head and saw a shadow, black as ink, somehow getting connected with its own shadow.
"Ququa?"
The frog-like pet beast showed a puzzled expression.
The next second, an unseen pet beast’s head appeared out of nowhere from the ground, locking eyes with it.
"Ququa..."
The frog-like pet beast only saw a pair of purple eyes and then uncontrollably fell asleep.
Channel Arrow Frog, an intermediate beast of the Water-type and Poison series... It’s the one that dragged Liu Bo into the forest; the shadow in the water pond doesn’t actually need to be dealt with; just capture this Channel Arrow Frog to know Liu Bo’s whereabouts... Qiao Sang opened her eyes, stood up, and said:
"Let’s go!"
Actually, according to her initial plan, she intended to let the Channel Arrow Frog drag Yuan Jiewen into the forest, with Little Treasure Hunter following along, and only when knowing where it took Yuan Jiewen would they act.
But this had several drawbacks.
