Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498: Chapter 461: The Heart is So Dirty...

"Three-three!"

Upon hearing the words of his own Beast Tamer, the Three-headed Bee Monster let out a cry.

Three of the four yellow beams suddenly shot toward Lubao from three different angles at high speed.

The remaining one stopped mid-air, allowing its clear appearance to be seen.

It had three heads, each with two antennae, and its hands bore large, thick white stingers; the wings on its back had complicated yellow patterns.

Seeing this scene, the audience began expressing their opinions.

"I get it now, Tian Xiaoyun’s strategy for this match is attrition."

"It’s obvious, isn’t it? The Three-headed Bee Monster was moving quickly for quite a while without attacking, only choosing to strike when Bingke Xilu started to make it rain."

"I figured it out too; the doppelganger is maintaining such a distance, only allowing the doppelgangers to approach. What damage can doppelgangers really do? It’s clear that they’re aiming to disrupt the rain."

"The tactic is sound, how could the Three-headed Bee Monster possibly beat Bingke Xilu in a direct fight? Now that the battle is being broadcast nationwide, they have to drag out the combat time."

While the crowd discussed, the three beams of yellow light had already come within a meter’s distance from Lubao.

Just at that moment, an immense chill spread out recklessly from Lubao’s mouth, without the rain that Tian Xiaoyun had expected.

Frost Wind! Deceived! Bingke Xilu wasn’t casting rain... Tian Xiaoyun’s complexion changed, and he quickly said,

"Dodge!"

Rain was a high-level skill; casting it required a certain amount of time, but Frost Wind was different. A High-Level Pet Beast casting a medium-level skill was almost instantaneous.

Logically, if Bingke Xilu wanted to cast Frost Wind, it could have done so earlier, but it chose to wait until the Three-headed Bee Monster’s attack was about to land. This was clearly deliberate!

How on earth did she realize that among the attacking Three-headed Bee Monsters, one was the real body... Tian Xiaoyun felt a heavy weight in his heart.

Having studied Qiao Sang’s matches, he knew that Bingke Xilu sometimes would rather stand still and take damage in order to cast its skill.

Thus, the attack from the doppelgangers would have been like scratching an itch, and Bingke Xilu would have likely continued casting rain.

Only an attack from the real body had the potential to interrupt the rain.

Therefore, among the attacking Three-headed Bee Monsters, there had to be the real Three-headed Bee Monster.

To add to the confusion, before the match, he had specifically arranged the tactic of leaving one doppelganger far away and motionless, to make the opponent think that was the real one, and therefore overlook the nearby Three-headed Bee Monster, launching an attack on the wrong target. He hadn’t expected it to be seen through at a glance.

In such a match, a Pet Beast had no choice but to act according to the instructions of the Beast Tamer.

Since Qiao Sang said rain, and Bingke Xilu cast Frost Wind, there’s only one explanation: this was pre-arranged.

No wonder she, a prodigy who raised three High-Level Pet Beasts at the age of 15, is not like normal people; even dealing with only a mid-level mechanical beast requires strategy... Despite his fatigue, Tian Xiaoyun couldn’t help but admire her.

Lubao’s reaction capability has improved; it switches skills pretty quickly. I thought it would, like before, take the hit and cast rain... Qiao Sang flashed a look of surprise, which quickly turned into satisfaction.

Although the three doppelgangers couldn’t cause any real damage... But then, Qiao Sang’s train of thought was suddenly interrupted.

Ouch, there was the real body hiding among the three attacking Three-headed Bee Monsters!

The three beams of yellow light that were attacking suddenly changed direction.

Even with their swift movement, they were too close to Lubao, and the spreading chill caught up with them almost in the blink of an eye.

Two of the yellow beams stalled, revealing their true form for a moment before vanishing without a trace.

The speed of the remaining yellow beam decreased sharply, as ice visibly formed over one half of its wings.

At the same time, the Three-headed Bee Monster in mid-air also disappeared.

At this point, it was clear which one was the real body.

The viewers who had been certain that the Three-headed Bee Monster hovering motionlessly in mid-air was the real one suddenly felt as if they had been slapped in the face.

The three-headed bee monster finally completely fainted. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

"Brother, it’s not your fault. That three-headed bee monster kept one doppelganger motionless, obviously trying to mislead others that it was the real body."

"To be played to death by Qiao Sang, indeed! He started with the command to rain, but then came the Frost Wind; with three high-level pet beasts at his disposal, engaging an intermediate pet beast with such tactics is just terrifying."

"Those who make it to the national competition, their hearts are so tainted..."

...

On the field, two pet beasts wearing white lab coats placed the three-headed bee monster on a stretcher and quietly carried it away.

"Bingke."

Lubao’s expression was cold, appearing refreshed, as if it had just been summoned and hadn’t even made a move yet.

The audience from the Ancient Mist Region was full of excitement and agitation, immersed in the dreamy figure of Bingke Xilu.

Tian Xiaoyun took a deep breath on the spot to calm her emotions.

The three-headed bee monster lost faster than she had expected, and Bingke Xilu hadn’t expended much energy, it seemed that the upcoming fight would be a tough battle...

Soon, the referee issued the command to summon pet beasts.

Tian Xiaoyun clasped her hands together.

A gray Star Array lit up.

There appeared a pet beast with a deep blue body, tiny eyeballs, and a massive lower jaw within the Star Array.

Bigmouth Al, a high-level psychic series pet beast, emitting alpha waves that cause headaches in nearby living creatures... Qiao Sang flicked through the related information in his head, thinking that he’d have to be careful to maintain distance from the opponent in this match...

"Qu!"

The whistle that signified the start of the match blew.

The next second, Bigmouth Al appeared right in front of Lubao.
