Gangbao’s expression quickly turned to one of confusion.
"How did we end up in District 27?"
Qiao Sang seemed to know what Gangbao was thinking and explained:
"There’s a class we need to attend here."
Upon hearing this, Gangbao appeared thoughtful.
After spending this period of time together, Qiao Sang couldn’t claim to understand Gangbao completely, but she had reached about a seventy percent level of understanding.
She noticed the expression on Gangbao’s face and keenly perceived its thoughts.
Qiao Sang said:
"Don’t even think about sneaking back home."
"Gang Gang?"
Gangbao had an expression that said "Why would you ever think that?"
"Stop pretending," Qiao Sang laughed. "I understand you, besides, haven’t you told me before that you wanted to go home?"
"Gang Gang..."
Gangbao looked embarrassed, not expecting to be seen through.
Immediately, it wanted to explain that it was only planning to go home for a quick visit and would return afterwards.
But just then, Qiao Sang spoke up:
"If you want to go home, then head back openly. I’ll go with you."
Since Gangbao had the desire to return home, it was better to indulge it rather than risk it not wanting to come back after running too far away, to the extent that Qiao Sang’s brain domain sense couldn’t detect it. It was better to accompany it back home.
After all, Gangbao was a pet beast that had a mind of its own. Even if she didn’t let it go home, there was a high chance it would sneak back by itself.
How else did it manage to travel all the way from District 27 to District 3 previously? The probability was just too high.
"Gang Gang..."
Gangbao was stunned for a moment, showing an expression of "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Qiao Sang smiled. "My words are quite credible, aren’t they?"
"Gang Gang..."
Gangbao glanced at Yaobao subconsciously.
Yaobao, not understanding, blinked his eyes.
"Gang Gang!"
Gangbao looked away, guiltily nodding its head.
Regardless of anything else, in this matter, it trusted its Beast Tamer hadn’t deceived it.
"Then let’s rush to pass the exam first," Qiao Sang said while taking out her phone to check the navigation:
"Xiao Xunbao, let’s move straight for 1 kilometer!"
The teacher had only specified the starting point at 106 Awu Avenue, without a strict requirement on how to get there. This was also the main reason why Qiao Sang was confident that there would be time to accompany Gangbao back home after the exam ended.
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao cried out, its eyes glowing with a blue light.
The next second, as Qiao Sang was seated on Yaobao’s back, they arrived 200 meters away up in the sky.
Then 400 meters, 600 meters, 800 meters...
Soon, Qiao Sang and Yaobao turned into a dot and disappeared into the sky.
Given Xiao Xunbao’s current energy and proficiency in spatial movement, moving several targets together directly to 1 kilometer wasn’t impossible. But if the destination was out of sight, precise coordinates were needed. Since Xiao Xunbao was visiting this place for the first time and wasn’t too familiar with the terrain, Qiao Sang didn’t want to take the risk.
Moving in 200-meter increments was perfect, both for moving quickly and ensuring they didn’t go off course.
"Gui Gui!"
Gui Manweng, seeing its protectee disappear suddenly, was startled and then immediately started to frantically run around below, trying to chase after them.
But with too many obstacles on the ground, Gui Manweng could only watch helplessly as its protectee disappeared from sight.
...
The mechanical voice continued to broadcast slowly:
"If you encounter a Grey Tufted Sparrow with multicolored feathers, it is definitely very ugly. Sparrows like this have a very strong sense of pride, so it’s advised not to spray any Water-type Skills on them, otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable."
The elegantly flying bird Pet Beast suddenly stiffened.
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao revealed an expression of sudden realization; so all the good-looking feathers on this fellow were dyed.
"Gang Gang..."
Gangbao silently covered its face with its wings.
With a strong sense of pride, now that its feather-dyeing had been openly exposed in front of it, they couldn’t help but wonder if anything would happen... Watching the Grey Tufted Sparrow, which had stopped flying and paused nearby, Qiao Sang felt a bad premonition rising within.
The next second, the premonition came true.
The Grey Tufted Sparrow turned its head, showing an expression of furious embarrassment.
Without a word, it flapped its wings powerfully, and instantly, dozens of air-condensed blades headed in Yaobao’s direction.
Yaobao reacted swiftly, opening its mouth.
A spiraling torrent of scorching flames erupted from its throat.
"Boom!"
The two forces collided and exploded in mid-air, the air violently churning with the shock waves.
"Grey Tuft!"
When the smoke cleared, the Grey Tufted Sparrow cried out in an unusually high pitch.
"Grey Tuft!"
"Grey Tuft!"
It was as if in response to its call, the sound of "Grey Tuft" came from all directions, incessant to the ear.
No way... Qiao Sang’s heartbeat unconsciously quickened as she looked around.
She saw that the Grey Tufted Sparrows were rapidly closing in from a distance in a surrounding attack formation.
