Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 714: Sand Land Dragon
The falling snow abruptly stopped.
But it was already too late. Qiao Sang was now entirely covered in ice flowers, frozen in place like an ice sculpture.
“Lu!”
Lubao’s expression changed drastically. She anxiously circled around her beast master.
The residual despair from the past few days had clearly affected Lubao, making her emotions unstable and preventing her from staying calm as she once could.
“Xun xun!”
Sensing that something was wrong earlier, Little Treasure had instinctively teleported outside the range of the snowflakes. Now he teleported back, raised a paw, and called out, signaling not to panic: He had a plan.
With that, he lifted his paw.
A thick and glowing white energy instantly condensed above him.
Ah! So it wasn’t real snow, it was an ice flower seal cast by Lubao… Wait, what the hell?! Stop!! Are you seriously going to use Brick-Breaking?! Just have Lubao use Healing Light! Don’t use Brick-Breaking on me!! Qiao Sang was mentally screaming, overwhelmed with WTF energy.
Although she was frozen and unable to move, her consciousness was still clear.
Her mind was working, and she could clearly see everything happening outside the ice shell.
When she saw Little Treasure readying Brick-Breaking, she nearly spat blood.
If it hit her even slightly off target and cracked her open, what then?!
Just as Qiao Sang was starting to panic internally, the gravelly ground suddenly burst open. Four thick vine-like thorny tendrils shot up and lunged at Lubao and Little Treasure.
“Xun xun!”
Little Treasure had to stop mid-Brick-Breaking, quickly summoned two shadowy strands from his claws, wrapped up his frozen beast master, and teleported them ten meters away to avoid the vines’ attack.
“Lu!”
Lubao quickly retreated a few steps. A cold gleam flashed as his claw blades crossed and sliced through the thorny vines with precise, clean cuts.
The severed vines scattered across the ground.
Lubao looked angrily toward the three creatures descending from the sky and recognized one of them as the same one she had attacked earlier.
I don’t know who you are, but thank you… Qiao Sang was nearly moved to tears.
“Yin yin!”
“Yin yin!”
The creature in the center, clearly larger than the two smaller green pet beasts beside it, called out twice like a child tattling.
“Yin yin.”
The two slightly older green pet beasts on either side grew increasingly furious as they listened.
They folded their wings back, stirring up a wild gale that swept through the surrounding plants.
In a radius of several hundred meters, all the small, obviously lower- or mid-level wild pet beasts scattered in panic.
Then, green light glowed from the two larger beasts, and in perfect sync, they dove down from the sky.
“Lu!”
Lubao didn't back down. She stared intently at the two charging pet beasts as a torrent of water surged around her body.
But just then, the two green pet beasts paused mid-dive, their breathing suddenly becoming erratic. They stopped attacking and hovered in the air, silent and motionless.
In front of Lubao now stood a massive beast, about six meters tall, its body mainly gray-black, with a golden crown on its head and a powerful aura radiating from it. It glared coldly at them.
Uh… Dark Shadow King? Honestly, it kind of fits… Qiao Sang muttered in her heart as she stared at the imposing figure.
“Lu…”
Lubao recognized the figure. She froze for a moment, her water current fading as she turned to look at the normally-sized Little Treasure standing beside their beast master.
“Xun xun~”
Little Treasure blinked at Lubao, flashing a confident expression that said, Don’t worry, I’ve got this.
Lubao: …
“Yin yin…”
The two green pet beasts looked at the enormous figure below with clear apprehension. After assessing the opponent’s aura and strength, they decisively turned and fled.
“Yin yin!”
The smaller green beast quickly followed.
“Lu…”
Watching the three green pet beasts fly away, Lubao couldn’t help but start doubting herself again.
She really was too weak.
Little Treasure hadn’t even shown her real power, yet just the illusion alone had scared the opponents off.
And herself… Lubao glanced at her frozen beast master, growing more and more dejected.
Lubao!! Healing Light! Use Healing Light!! Qiao Sang, seeing Lubao look her way, was inwardly shouting with excitement.
At that moment, the oversized Ghost Ring King illusion disappeared. Little Treasure raised his paw again, and the thick white energy reappeared instantly.
Qiao Sang: ?!!
AHH! LITTLE TREASURE!! STOP!! STOP!!
In a panic, Qiao Sang watched Little Treasure freeze mid-strike.
Phew… Qiao Sang exhaled heavily in relief.
Thank goodness, seems like there was still some psychic connection between them.
Well, of course. She’d been raising him since he hatched. Plus, he was a psychic-type pet, far more sensitive than others. Even without a bond evolution, one glance was usually enough for him to understand her… Qiao Sang felt a bit comforted.
But in the next moment, she noticed Little Treasure and Lubao were both looking solemnly in the direction behind her.
Hey, what are you looking at? Can someone turn me around so I can see too? Qiao Sang was burning with curiosity.
She could sense something was definitely different now.
She felt like something enormous was behind her, casting her in complete shadow.
Unfortunately, she was frozen, even her eyeballs couldn’t move.
In the silence, Little Treasure took off his ring and pulled out a pet beast identifier, pointing it behind Qiao Sang.
A voice in the same tone as Little Treasure's rang out: “Let me see… Sand Land Dragon, Ground and Dragon dual-type King-ranked pet beast. Loves to play and mess around. Though highly intelligent, its mind is always scheming. A very troublesome pet beast. However, once it evolves into the Emperor-rank Twin Land Dragon, it becomes much more stable… Oh no, how did you end up encountering this thing? Suggestion: Run or surrender immediately… Of course, if you must fight, please store me away first.”
“Xun xun…” Little Treasure solemnly put the scanner back into the ring. frёewebηovel.cѳm
“Land.”
Behind Qiao Sang, a beast about ten meters tall with a deep brown body, black fur around its neck, two rows of black markings on its belly, and red eyes was watching Little Treasure and the ice-covered Qiao Sang with curiosity.
“Lu…”
The oppressive aura was intense. Even though the Sand Land Dragon hadn’t done anything yet, Lubao already felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
Her heart raced. Instinctively, she stepped forward to shield her beast master.
A King-ranked pet beast, Sand Land Dragon?!
From the same family as the Twin Land Dragon, ruler of the Bazhi Mountains?
Qiao Sang was stunned.
She never imagined the creature behind her would be a King-ranked beast!
Just then, Little Treasure's eyes glowed blue.
Qiao Sang, perfectly positioned, saw it clearly.
She immediately understood Little Treasure was going to use spatial shift. She sighed in relief, grateful that Yabao hadn’t been outside when she was frozen, his first reaction definitely wouldn’t have been to run…
As she thought that, everything went dark. When her vision returned, the surroundings had completely changed.
At the same time, the Sand Land Dragon looked at where the intruders vanished and showed an expression of amusement.
“LAND!!!”
It then raised its head and let out a thunderous roar.
The sound echoed across the Baizhi Mountains.
In the next second, nearly every sleeping pet beast in the mountains opened its eyes.
