My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 80 - 79: Vertical Pupils
Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Vertical Pupils
“Qiuqiu, Fiery Breath!”
“Roar!”
In a low-lying residential area, a rotating column of fire thick as a bucket shot up into the sky with explosive force, hurling a Blood-sucking Tarantula that had pounced from a rooftop and causing it to violently explode midair.
As the column of fire slowly dissipated, only a faint red line remained between heaven and earth, and countless charred spider fragments fell from the sky, filling the air with a pungent burnt smell.
The aftermath of the explosion swept through, lifting the roofs of several old wooden houses, and ripples spread across the muddy water on the ground.
“Roar!!”
...
Qiuqiu let out an angry roar at the spider swarm, then turned and continued to follow Shao Zifeng, weaving through the cramped residential area.
This urban village in Su City was the last undeveloped area, with wooden houses, brick houses, and tin sheds everywhere, and due to the lack of planning, narrow paths were everywhere in the residential area.
These paths were still dirt roads, where foul-smelling domestic wastewater and thick blood water flowed everywhere.
Faster, even faster!
After running for a long time, even the body of Shao Zifeng, enhanced by the “Bonding Reaction,” began to falter, and he could feel a faint pain in his lungs, his cells screaming in madness.
Each breath felt as though it were being sliced by a knife, his legs no longer felt like his own, mechanically swinging back and forth, stomping on the muddy path, splashing filthy water.
But Shao Zifeng couldn’t stop.
Behind them, countless Blood-sucking Tarantulas leapt across low rooftops, their crimson eyes flickering with greed, closely pursuing them.
“Hiss!”
A shadow covered the already dim sunlight, as several Blood-sucking Tarantulas pounced from a rooftop to the side.
They opened their eight long legs covered in black hair, their mouthparts wide open, even dripping disgusting saliva.
Before Shao Zifeng could react, Qiuqiu suddenly leaped, taking the lead and charging towards the shadow in mid-air.
Red flames entangled around its body, converging into a fireball behind it, which exploded at a critical point, and amidst the flying flames, a pair of fiery dragon wings suddenly spread wide.
“Roar!”
Qiuqiu flapped its dragon wings, flying towards the Blood-Sucking Tarantulas in midair.
A gust of wind messed up Shao Zifeng’s hair as he lifted his head, staring mesmerized at the small figure.
The tips of the wings cut through the air, pulling out two white trails, and with a sound of tearing air, it darted through several Blood-sucking Tarantulas.
The Blood-sucking Tarantulas got closer and closer to Shao Zifeng, close enough that he could vaguely see the bits of flesh in their mouths.
“Bang!”
Just as several Blood-sucking Tarantulas were about to pounce on Shao Zifeng, their bodies suddenly misaligned, and then split apart in the middle.
Fragments carrying a foul-smelling green blood hit the ground next to Shao Zifeng, splashing mud everywhere.
Without even looking, Qiuqiu shook its dragon wings and drew a graceful semicircle in the air, quickly sweeping through the spider swarm in front, and flying towards Shao Zifeng.
The originally menacing Blood-sucking Tarantulas suddenly stood frozen in place, and moments later, chunks of flesh rained down like droplets.
Qiuqiu’s dragon wings flickered, vanishing just before it landed, and its chin smashed harshly into the muddy water.
The scorching skin touched the muddy water and hissed, evaporating a cloud of white steam, Qiuqiu, enveloped in rolling steam, slid far across the ground.
Shao Zifeng, heart aching, rushed over and embraced Qiuqiu, a forceful impact knocking him down too.
“Ying~” Qiuqiu opened its eyes, the flames dimming significantly.
But when it saw Shao Zifeng, the flame flickered with joy and an affectionate look appeared in its eyes.
Exhausted, it rubbed against Shao Zifeng’s chest, its trembling little claws trying to stand up from the ground.
Looking at the battered Qiuqiu, Shao Zifeng felt a pang in his nose and held it tightly, whispering, “That’s enough, it’s already enough.”
“Hiss~”
Tears evaporated upon touching Qiuqiu’s Scale Armor.
Qiuqiu shuddered, not daring to struggle anymore, afraid of hurting Shao Zifeng.
But it still stubbornly raised its head, resting on Shao Zifeng’s shoulder, glaring fiercely at the Blood-sucking Tarantulas chasing on the rooftops, issuing a reluctant dragon roar.
“Roar!”
The sound was youthful, yet filled with supreme authority, causing the spider swarm to momentarily stiffen.
“From now on, let’s fight together.”
Shao Zifeng pressed his forehead against Qiuqiu’s adorably awkward head, their gazes locking, flames flickering in the depths of their eyes.
The flickering rates slowly started to synchronize.
He moved his right hand, and a translucent Space Rift opened, ‘Zang Feng’ shooting out from it, firmly grasped in his hand.
Holding Qiuqiu in one arm, Shao Zifeng rose to his feet, gripping ‘Zang Feng’ and staring intently at the approaching spider swarm.
His pupils suddenly contracted, his brown-black irises filling with golden-red flames, transforming into vertical pupils just like Qiuqiu’s.
Qiuqiu struggled down from Shao Zifeng’s body, nearly falling due to its unsteady footing.
Then, stubbornly standing up, it positioned itself in front of Shao Zifeng. Its golden-red eyes coldly stared at the Blood-sucking Tarantulas on the low ceiling, sporadic flames bursting from its mouth as the surrounding fire elements gradually became active, repairing its body.
Shao Zifeng looked worriedly at the exhausted Qiuqiu, his hand gripping the scabbard tightened slightly, veins bulging on his pale back of the hand.
There was only one chance; if they failed, both he and Qiuqiu might perish here.
The swarm gathered, with hundreds of Blood-sucking Tarantulas lying on the roofs around them. They weren’t in a hurry to attack, their eyes crimson as they slowly tightened the encirclement.
Shao Zifeng held the knife in his left hand and pressed his right hand on the hilt, looking for an opportunity to strike.
“Crack.”
While Shao Zifeng was lost in thought, a slight noise suddenly came from not far away.
He quickly turned his head to look in that direction.
A half-collapsed tin house lay not far from him, with three people lying inside.
A ghostly pale girl looked at Shao Zifeng in terror, her hands tightly covering the mouths of two children.
The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, somewhat familiar in appearance.
Shao Zifeng hesitated for a moment, then looked down and said, “Qiuqiu, can you still hold on?”
Human and pet locked eyes, their vertical pupils of the same color, the frequency of the flame flickers also identical.
Qiuqiu instantly understood Shao Zifeng’s thoughts, quickly glanced at the tin house, and nodded.
“Then, let’s begin.”
Upon hearing this, Qiuqiu stepped forward, its Scale Armor once again ignited with explosive flames.
The mysterious Array lit up.
“Roar!”

A column of fire surged out, sweeping across the rooftop to the west.
“Hiss!”
The tarantula swarm on the western rooftop instantly let out cries of pain, their dense fur ignited, rolling, and screeching as they fell from the rooftop.
The west side had the fewest Blood-sucking Tarantulas in the entire encirclement, and their chances of breaking through from there were much higher.
“Let’s go!”
Shao Zifeng shouted loudly, taking the lead and running towards the gap to the west.
Qiuqiu was just about to follow, but its gaze swept over the three children in the tin house, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Glancing back at the restless swarm of tarantulas, Qiuqiu’s eyes brightened, rapidly forming several fireballs that it hurled at them.
The gesture was clearly provocative.
Then, without looking back, it followed Shao Zifeng’s steps.
Hit and run, truly thrilling.
“Hiss!”
The tarantula swarm dodged the fireballs, their annoyance palpable in their hisses as they quickly leaped and weaved through the buildings, chasing in their direction.
…
Quiet returned to the area around the tin house, marked only by messy footprints and chopped pieces of spider proving someone had been there.
After a long while, the girl released her brother and sister, pressing her chest and taking a long breath.
She had thought the little ones would be frightened.
Contrarily, not only were they not afraid, they seemed unusually excited.
The little boy quickly grabbed the girl’s arm. “Sister, sister, why were that brother’s eyes different from ours?” he asked.
“Slap!”
The little girl, her hands dirty, smacked the little boy on the head and put her index finger to her lips: “Shh…”
The little boy wasn’t upset; he pouted and muttered something, then both he and the girl looked at their sister with expectant eyes.
The girl habitually pushed up her glasses, only to touch nothing.
She then remembered that she had lost her glasses while fleeing with her brother and sister.
Unaccustomed, she lowered her arm.
After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, “It’s said that when the bond between a Combat Training Master and their beast reaches a certain level, the Combat Training Master might develop some features of their beast, like… eyes.”
As she spoke, the girl seemed slightly dazed, as if she could again see the tall figure with golden-red vertical pupils looking at her.
Unfortunately, she was highly myopic and couldn’t see his face clearly.
‘He should… be more handsome than brother, right?’
‘No, no, brother is the handsomest, yes… it must be so.’
Thinking this, a rare blush appeared on the girl’s pale face.
