Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459: Chapter 431: Thousand Water Bears

"Yeke..."

Yeke Suolu involuntarily closed his eyes.

Vine Whip lay scattered on the ground.

The sight that met the audience’s eyes was Yeke Suolu snoring and sleeping on the ground, with the Treasure-seeking Demon less than a centimeter away from it.

The scene suddenly became noisy.

"What’s going on? I don’t understand! What happened?!"

"Was Yeke Suolu hypnotized?"

"No, the question isn’t that. Why would the Treasure-seeking Demon suddenly appear there? Yeke Suolu had Vine Whip protecting itself at 360 degrees with no blind spots; how could the Treasure-seeking Demon appear inside the vines?"

"What the hell? Considering the distance that spectral-type beast casted Shadow Ball earlier, it shouldn’t have been able to appear there at all!"

"You haven’t seen the matches of this Treasure-seeking Demon before."

"No, this is the first time I’ve managed to get a ticket."

"No wonder, this Treasure-seeking Demon also has psychic series attributes—it can teleport."

"Hiss... But that’s not right! Even if it can teleport, it shouldn’t be able to go right into the midst of Vine Whip!"

"So this isn’t teleportation."

"Then what is it?"

"If I’m not mistaken, it is Spatial Movement."

"!!!"

Among those who came to watch the match were professional beast tamers, who quickly analyzed exactly what had happened.

"Vine Whip can block teleportation approaches but not Spatial Movement. Qiao Sang probably thought of this tactic the first time he saw Yeke Suolu use the surrounding Vine Whip. That’s why he later intentionally had the Treasure-seeking Demon use Shadow Ball, aiming to make Yeke Suolu cast the surrounding Vine Whip again, so that the Treasure-seeking Demon could directly move through space to get there. With the Vine Whip as a barrier, neither Ma Zongji nor Yeke Suolu could have reacted in time."

"Damn! How can you still analyze all this so calmly? Spatial Movement, bro! A mid-level spectral-type beast knowing Spatial Movement?!"

"Why are you so worked up? Qiao Sang’s Liaoxing Dog already knows the Mystique-level Mars Rain. For a genius like him, what’s impossible?"

"..."

The heated discussion in the audience did not affect the field.

A mechanical beast wearing a referee’s badge blew the whistle that signalled the end of the match.

Ma Zongji looked bewildered.

The first thought that arose was: I lost just like that?

The second thought was: Next up, Qiao Sang will still send out the Treasure-seeking Demon, won’t he? Does that mean I won’t be able to fight against Bingke Xilu?

"Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao earnestly sensed the energy within its body, then showed a disappointed expression.

Why hasn’t it evolved yet...

This expression, when caught by Ma Zongji, was interpreted differently: Did it think that the match just now was too easy to win? Did it feel that Yeke Suolu was too weak, hence the disappointment?

Building up this narrative in his mind, Ma Zongji felt choked up.

He took a deep breath, striving to adjust his mindset.

A one-time win or loss meant nothing; as long as he won the next match against the Treasure-seeking Demon and got to see Bingke Xilu enter the field, he would be the victor!

At this moment, Qiao Sang waved his hand and recalled Xiao Xunbao back into the Beast Taming Codex.

Ma Zongji, who was just brimming with fighting spirit, was taken aback at this sight.

Before he had time to think further, the prompt sound for summoning the second pet beast echoed in the arena.

Ma Zongji subconsciously formed hand seals.

"Qian Dao."

The Thousand-Trail Water Bear opened its mouth, and in an instant, an extremely thick water jet shot out from its throat.

Despite Lubao starting to channel energy first, it couldn’t instantly release high-level skills like snowing.

Lubao maintained its head-tilted, mouth-open posture, looking downward towards the direction of the water jet, without taking any action.

"Bang!"

The thick water jet hit Lubao squarely.

At the same time, the temperature around them inexplicably dropped, and a large number of snowflakes began to flutter down.

On the other side, after being hit by the water jet and pushed back several meters, Lubao steadied itself, and a blue light immediately appeared on its body.

"Bingke."

Once the blue light dissipated, there was no sign of injury on Lubao.

Damn it, it really did cast Ice Flower Seal. Is it really okay to use such a strong move first... Relying on Healing Light to withstand attacks just to unleash a powerful move... That capricious feeling is also darn cool... Ma Zongji suppressed his excited emotions and gave a command:

"Use Tide Whirl for defense!"

"Qian Dao!"

Hearing his Beast Tamer’s order, the Thousand-Trail Water Bear clenched both paws, clashing them together as it roared, and a spiral of water whorl three meters wide appeared over its head in an instant.

Snowflakes fell, landing in the whirl, and delicate ice flowers began to condense within it.

The spiral-shaped water whorl quickly grew full of ice flowers, solidifying it.

The Thousand-Trail Water Bear tensed its muscles and, with the strength of its limbs, lifted the now solidified water whorl.

As the snow continued to fall, the Thousand-Trail Water Bear, protected by the solidified water whorl, was unaffected.

Tide Whirl, an advanced Water-type Skill, I didn’t expect this guy to have kept an advanced level skill hidden... Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
