Yaobao glanced at his Beast Tamer, his eyes lighting up, and with a flap of his wings, a messy airflow immediately whirled around him.
This time, no one intervened.
Almost everyone’s gaze was fixed on him.
In the blink of an eye, Yaobao had flown to Qiao Sang’s side like a streak of fire engulfed in wild air waves.
"Yaobao!"
Yaobao landed on the ground and gave a happy shout.
As he called out, the dust where he landed was blown away, and a strong gust of wind almost knocked Qiao Sang off her feet.
Had he forgotten he could teleport... Qiao Sang steadied herself and couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
"Ya Ya!"
Yaobao folded his wings and lowered his head, affectionately nuzzling against his Beast Tamer’s cheek.
"Bingke."
Lubao clearly recognized Yaobao too. It flicked its tail onto Yaobao’s head, calling out discontentedly.
It bumped into him.
That tail flick was like a tickle for the now-General-level Yaobao. He looked up in surprise, only then noticing Lubao was still perched on his Beast Tamer’s head.
"Ya Ya."
Yaobao lifted a paw and poked Lubao.
You’re so small now.
That poke sent Lubao tumbling from Qiao Sang’s head.
"Bingke!"
Lubao leaped flawlessly onto the ground, a look of annoyance returning after a long absence, and it yelled at Yaobao.
"Ya Ya..."
Yaobao wore an innocent expression.
He really just poked very gently.
"Bingke..."
Lubao looked up at Yaobao, growing angrier by the second, bubbles started blowing out of its nostrils, growing bigger and bigger.
"Pop!"
Soon, the bubble grew so large that it burst.
"Bingke!"
Lubao snorted coldly, flicked its tail to the ground, leaped up, and dived into the backpack.
Then it reached out a paw to zip up half of the zipper and did not show its face again.
Lubao must be really provoked... Qiao Sang looked at Yaobao and sighed inwardly.
Although Yaobao had used the Dream Enlightenment Stone, and she and Lubao had witnessed Yaobao’s evolution in those dreams, what one sees and feels in reality is completely different from the experiences within those projected dreams.
It was understandable for Lubao to be on edge.
After all, it had always seen Yaobao as a rival. Now that Yaobao had evolved and looked so majestic and commanding, let alone managing to throw Lubao off balance with just a flick of a paw, Xiao Xunbao probably wouldn’t be able to handle it either.
"Click!"
"Click!"
At that moment, several camera clicks sounded from the side.
Qiao Sang turned her head and saw Xiao Xunbao excitedly searching for the best angles to photograph Yaobao.
Qiao Sang: "..."
She took back her last thought; Xiao Xunbao could handle it.
"Steel Guardian..."
Gangbao had been staring at Yaobao, but its expression remained calm, showing no hint of its thoughts.
"Ya Ya."
Suddenly, Yaobao seemed to remember something, and with another paw relaxed forward, he placed a red Pet Beast with flame-like antennae on the ground.
A Lava Beast? Qiao Sang recognized the Pet Beast in front of her.
...
Meanwhile, a noisy commotion arose from around the rim of the volcano’s crater.
Everyone had thought this terrifying Pet Beast that surged out of the volcano and flew towards the girl was about to attack, nearly scaring them to death.
They were ready to flee, but then they saw the terrifying Pet Beast lower its head to nuzzle the girl’s face!
Yes.
Nuzzle the face!
That’s right, nuzzle the face!
These, it seemed, they had really never seen before... Everyone’s mouths hung open, their eyes flickered with shock and confusion, but they ultimately chose to remain silent.
Had they encountered some incredible person...
...
Among the tourists, McCarthy raised his hand, about to summon the lava beast back to him.
Fauler promptly grabbed his hand, demanding, "What are you doing?"
"Calling the lava beast back," said McCarthy.
"With so many people around, all focused over there, if you summon it back now, won’t the officials realize the lava beast isn’t a wild pet beast?" Fauler said gravely. "Everyone is here; if they catch on, they’d lock down the place and search everyone, and we’d be finished."
"So, what should we do?" McCarthy frowned and asked.
"Didn’t you say a cooperation was reached with that kid?" Fauler said calmly:
"She just needs to think a little, and she should understand that the lava beast entered the volcano for the Phantasmal Magma. Even if she doesn’t understand, it’s fine as long as no one suspects it has a Beast Tamer. Once the crowd disperses, you can call it back."
Upon hearing this, McCarthy thought it made sense and nodded:
"I understand."
...
Meanwhile, Qiao Sang looked at the unconscious lava beast, recalling the person who had sought her out for "cooperation" earlier.
She remembered the information about the lava beast, noted as a rare pet beast capable of moving through lava.
Yaobao had brought this lava beast out from the volcano.
If that was the case, then it might have obtained the Phantasmal Magma from the base of the volcano.
Could it be that person’s pet beast?
After all, according to him, he had the means to enter the volcano...
Though this lava beast wasn’t wearing an Identity Bracelet, such a thing could be removed... Or maybe the magma melted it... Wait a second... Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and stared at Yaobao’s two claws with a stiff expression.
Both front limbs exuded a wild strength, claws sharp and glinting with cold light.
Gone... Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched fiercely.
The Identity Bracelet and the Shrinking Bracelet were both missing!
The Identity Bracelet was one thing, but Shrinking Bracelets were hard to come by! Back then, you could only exchange for one each with Sainan High School points... Qiao Sang felt drained for a moment.
At that moment, the lava beast suddenly started to cough violently.
As it did so, a blue liquid spewed from its mouth.
