Yaobao ran upwards.
But the thick fog seemed to move as well.
The gauzy mist flowed with the air current, following Yaobao’s direction and rising upwards.
After running for nearly a minute without escaping the dense fog, Qiao Sang patted Yaobao’s back, signaling for it to stop.
Yaobao understood its Beast Tamer’s intention, halted in mid-air, and watched the surroundings warily.
Qiao Sang was highly active in thought as she sat on Yaobao’s back.
It seemed that running to the high skies was futile, Wuying Yake did not appear, was it planning to trap her here to die?
Wuying Yake was not only a General-level Pet Beast, but it was also lurking in the dark...
She might as well let Yaobao launch a large-scale attack to directly draw it out...
In a normal 1V1, she might not be able to beat it, but once Yaobao unleashed the Mystique Level Mars Rain, the fog would definitely disperse. Without the fog’s effect, she could call Xiao Xunbao back. With Xiao Xunbao, and adding Yaobao and Lubao to the mix, she wasn’t without chances of winning against a wild General-level Pet Beast...
The only trouble was, this was a wild Pet Beasts’ territory; if Yaobao used Mars Rain, such a wide-ranging attack might also involve other wild Pet Beasts and provoke a wave of enmity...
As she was thinking, Xiao Xunbao suddenly appeared beside her.
Before it could even speak, Yaobao quickly retreated to create distance, as a conspicuous flame suddenly flashed within the dense fog, splendid and gorgeous, aimed directly at Xiao Xunbao.
Just as the Flame Vortex was ejected, Qiao Sang’s eyes suddenly bulged with astonishment as she exclaimed,
"This is real!"
"Ya Ya!"
Yaobao was startled.
Fortunately, Xiao Xunbao’s reaction was lightning-fast, avoiding the Flame Vortex’s attack with a teleportation.
"Xun Xun!"
After dodging, Xiao Xunbao teleported back, looking at Yaobao with a disbelieving and injured expression.
"Ya Ya..."
Feeling guilty, Yaobao dared not meet its gaze.
"A fake ghost ring specter came just now, Yaobao thought you were fake too." Qiao Sang hurriedly explained.
"Xun Xun..."
Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of "I see now," and then sighed like shaking its head at Yaobao.
Yaobao is so dumb, it couldn’t even recognize the real thing from the fake.
"Ya Ya..."
Yaobao wanted to object, but remembering its recent attack, it felt speechless.
"Alright." Qiao Sang changed the subject seriously, "What’s important now is to lure Wuying Yake out; otherwise, we will keep being trapped here."
After speaking, she was about to instruct Yaobao to launch Mars Rain.
"Xun Xun~"
But at that moment, Xiao Xunbao raised its left paw and called out as if to claim credit.
Qiao Sang looked over and saw Xiao Xunbao’s left paw connected to a three-dimensional pattern of Shadow Control, which ran downwards, piercing through the dense fog.
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
"The other end you’re connected to isn’t Wuying Yake, is it?" Qiao Sang’s face showed evident astonishment.
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao nodded its head.
Awesome! Qiao Sang’s eyes suddenly lit up, "How did you think of connecting to it with a shadow?"
"Xun Xun~"
Seeing its Beast Tamer’s reaction, Xiao Xunbao knew it had done something significant. It called out with a tone and expression full of ease and confidence, as if to say "I just casually did it," implying that the creature was at the end of the thick fog, and it thought of pulling it along to traverse the fog without losing its way.
Having a smart Pet Beast really saves trouble... Qiao Sang was pleasantly surprised and then thought of something, asking puzzledly, "It’s just letting you pull it with the shadow?"
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao waved its paw, indicating that the creature was asleep and had not noticed it.
Wait, sleeping? You mean to say this fog is being produced unconsciously? That’s impossible... Qiao Sang felt something was off. freewebnøvel.com
"Gang Gang!"
At this moment, Gangbao, still held by Qiao Sang, called out very seriously.
Only then did Qiao Sang realize she was still holding Gangbao and quickly loosened her grip.
"Gang Gang!"
Gangbao flew to the side, flapping its wings, and repeated its serious message.
After a moment’s silence, Qiao Sang asked with difficulty, "Are you saying that there are two Wuying Yakes here?"
"Gang Gang!"
Gangbao nodded earnestly.
It felt as if it had been bewitched just now, to have chased after a hat.
The hat was something it had been "forced" to wear; losing it was even better.
If it needed to cover the bald spot, it could buy a new one.
Why did it chase after it...
Gangbao’s rational mind was analyzing, yet the speed of its descent did not slow, in fact, it was even slightly accelerating.
Soon, it spotted that hint of the hat’s lavender color.
"Gang Gang!"
Gangbao’s eyes lit up, it quickened its pace, and grabbed the hat in its mouth.
Suddenly, it realized something, stiffening as it raised its head.
Right there, a pair of red eyes, several times larger than its entire body, were coldly staring at it.
"Gang Gang..."
Gangbao had a moment of blankness in its brain.
No matter how smart it was, it was still just a young beast under a year old, with no experience facing such a direct overbearing pressure from a formidable existence.
Gangbao held onto the hat tightly, deeply feeling its own insignificance.
At that moment, the temperature around it suddenly skyrocketed.
Gangbao appeared to understand something and dumbly raised its head.
Large swathes of firelight fell.
"Bang Bang Bang!"
"Wuying!"
With the continuous and loud explosions, the once cold and detached red eyes transformed into expressions of agony.
Gangbao’s eyes brightened fiercely, and it prepared to take shelter under Wuying Yake’s huge head, flapping its wings.
But in the next moment, a flame shadow flashed by, and Gangbao instantly felt itself in a warm and familiar place.
"Are you okay?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Gang Gang..."
Gangbao raised its head, looking at Qiao Sang with a dazed expression, looking a bit silly.
Finished, it seems to have been frightened into stupidity... Qiao Sang’s heart chilled as she shouted, "Xiao Xunbao!"
Forget it, everything else can wait until after we’ve escaped!
