1155. Chapter 1150 Thawing (Two in One)
With that, the Dragon King spread his wings with great force.
However, before he could move, Little Xunbao’s eyes flashed blue.
The next second, Qiao Sang, Yabao, and the others vanished from the water.
Simultaneously, the sea surged wildly, then suddenly exploded. A gigantic pet head emerged from the water. Its skin was slimy blue, with two white fins extending down its back. Two white streaks adorned the corners of its eyes.
A beastmaster would have recognized it as the Imperial-level pet, Zha Hector.
“Zha,”
Zha Hector glanced up into the air before diving back into the sea.
The sea quickly returned to calm, and only the various unconscious pets floating on the surface gave any indication of the recent battle.
…
Qiao Sang, Yabao, and the others appeared out of thin air on an island.
The resting ice-type pets nearby were startled and fled in all directions.
Qiao Sang gazed into the distance and realized she could no longer see the coast. She pricked up her ears, but couldn’t hear any sounds of fighting. Suddenly, she understood that Xiao Xunbao must have moved to another island, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
If Zha Bingling were a flying or psychic-type Emperor-level pet, she might have worried it would quickly catch up. But Zha Bingling was an ice-type pet, lived on the seabed, rarely coming ashore. Her pets seemed to be mostly at sea, so as long as she stayed away from the shore, she should be safe.
“Xia Xia?”
As the thought flashed through her mind, Xia Lala poked her head out of her coat, a worried look on her face. What was the human going to do?
“Mo Mo,”
the Dragon King called out reassuringly, assuring her that she wasn’t worried. She was strong, and dealing with just one Zha Bingling wouldn’t be a problem.
“Xia Xia,”
Xia Lala said, her expression reassuring.
With Gang Bao’s translation, Qiao Sang understood the conversation between Xia Lala and the Dragon King. Then, remembering Teacher Mikaela, she pulled out her phone.
Just as she was about to dial, something struck her. She closed the call screen and opened the chat app.
Teacher Mikaela was currently battling Zha Bingling, and calling her might disturb her. It would be better to send a message so she could see it when she finished and wanted to contact her.
“Teacher, I’ve safely escaped from Bingnan Island. I’ll be waiting for you back at the B&B.”
After sending the message, Qiao Sang put away her phone and looked at Little Xunbao.
“Bring out all the Ice Crystals you found.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao nodded, plucked the rings from his paws, ears, and neck, and threw them high into the air.
Five golden rings hovered in the air, slowly growing larger until they were about ten meters wide.
Then, Little Xunbao slipped into one of them.
Soon, crystals continued to fall.
Soon, they piled up to the size of a small mountain.
So many… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, then brightened.
Her sharp eyes recognized that besides Ice Crystals, these crystals also contained a variety of other ice and water-based materials.
For example, Water Crystal Stone and Ice Soul are both extremely rare materials in the Water and Ice elements.
Water Crystal Stone can enhance the Water elemental talent of Water pets and better absorb Water energy. It’s said that a Water pet that used Water Crystal Stone went from initially mediocre to leveling up twice in a single year, a miracle.
Ice Soul, on the other hand, is said to enhance the Ice elemental talent of Ice pets and even has a chance of awakening the Ice Soul trait, making it a true Ice elemental treasure.
I didn’t expect there to be so many goodies in Zha Bingling’s territory… Qiao Sang’s face was filled with joy, and he couldn’t help but smile.
Suddenly, with a clang, an exquisite ice sculpture fell from the ring.
Then, the second, the third… the tenth… the twentieth…
Qiao Sang’s smile slowly faded.
The falling ice sculptures soon filled the surrounding area.
But that wasn’t the end. Little Xunbao emerged from the first ring and then floated into the second.
Various Water and Ice elements, as well as ice sculptures, continued to fall.
By the time all the ice sculptures in the third ring had fallen, there was no more room for them.
“Let’s stop for now,” Qiao Sang said.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao paused and called out, indicating that there were still many in the remaining two rings.
Qiao Sang looked at the piles of ice sculptures around her and fell silent, her heart heavy.
Although she had long known that Zha Bingling liked to freeze favorite people and pets for her collection, she had never imagined there would be so many. Seeing them with her own eyes was still too much for her to handle.
If only she had an emperor-level pet…
“Ya Ya!”
Just as she was thinking, Yabao called out, asking if she should thaw them with her fire.
Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and was about to respond
when Xia Lala suddenly jumped out of her coat, approached an ice sculpture, and touched it with her claws.
A green light radiated from her fingertips.
“Xia Xia,”
Xia Lala turned and called out, indicating that they were still alive.
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao’s face lit up with excitement, helping to translate. It said they were still alive!
Still alive? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao cheered up and called out, indicating that he would rescue them now.
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and prepared to spit out flames.
“Wait!” Qiao Sang stopped him.
“Ya Ya?”
Ya Bao stopped and turned to look at him.
Qiao Sang said, “Your flames are too powerful. If you’re not careful, they might be hurt.”
“Ya Ya…”
Ya Bao thought of his own flames and agreed with them, with an expression of “what should I do then?”
“Xun Xun!”
Little Xun Bao called out, indicating that he was coming.
As he spoke, he raised his claws, and a white light condensed on them, and chopped them off at the nearest ice sculpture.
The ice sculptures remained motionless, not even a crack.
Little Xunbao: “…”
Qingbao let out a mocking expression, but soon realized his beastmaster was nearby and suppressed his expression.
“Wait a minute,”
the Dragon King observed, pulling Little Xunbao aside and barking, implying he was too weak and letting it do its thing.
With that, he raised his claws, condensing a silvery-white light.
Just as he was about to strike, Qiao Sang again intervened, saying,
“Wait a minute.”
“Wait a minute?”
The Dragon King turned his head and looked over.
“You’re so powerful, a single strike could hurt them,” Qiao Sang said.
“
Wait a minute.” The Dragon King, impressed, nodded, a look of “makes sense.
” “Lubao, you do it,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Lubao.
“Ice Emperor?” Lubao barked, a look of “What should I do?”
“Absorb the ice energy from these ice sculptures,” Qiao Sang instructed.
If an ice-type pet wants to maintain its condensed ice skills for a long time, it must contain ice energy. Once this ice energy is absorbed or dissipated, the condensed ice skills will naturally dissipate.
“Ice Emperor,”
Lu Bao nodded with a serious expression, then placed his paw on a nearby ice sculpture.
Instantly, a blue light rippled across the ice sculpture and then converged on his paw.
Suddenly, with a “crack,” the ice shell shattered, dissolving into ice crystals.
A pet, about three meters tall and with a huge flower bud on its back, fell to the ground.
“Lu Bao,” Qiao Sang called out.
“Ice Emperor.”
Without further ado, Lu Bao understood his beastmaster’s meaning. He called out, and the gem on his forehead glowed with a faint blue light, illuminating the pet with the huge flower bud on its back.
“Zhizhi…”
After the light faded, the pet with a giant flower bud on its back slowly opened its eyes.
Qiao Sang and Yabao’s eyes all lit up.
“Let’s continue!” Qiao Sang said with a hint of excitement.
“Ice Emperor,”
Lubao nodded, glancing at the surrounding ice sculptures. Sensing the enormity of the task, he didn’t waste any more time and placed his paw on another.
“Zhizhi…”
The pet with a giant flower bud on its back looked around with a confused expression, seemingly still unsure of what had happened or where it was.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao floated over, about to start socializing.
Qiao Sang said from the side, “Put these materials back first.”
“Xunxun…”
Little Xunbao instantly stopped socializing, his eyes glowing blue, and he guided the mountain of crystals back into the ring.
…
Even on the other side,
Mikaela and Peng Jiamei transformed into ice sculptures, suspended in mid-air.
The chill emanating from Zha Bingling spread.
The next second, a massive ice-blue ring suddenly appeared above Mikala and Pengamei.
Immediately afterwards, cones of ice appeared below the ring, plummeting from the sky and rapidly descending.
In the nick of time, the ice shells surrounding Pengamei and Mikala shattered with a crackling sound, vanishing from their original positions and reappearing hundreds of meters away.
The ice-blue ring vanished.
The Zha Bingling channeled its energy, preparing for its next attack.
But just then, an invisible sound wave echoed.
“Zha Zha!”
The Zha Bingling’s ears twitched, revealing an expression of anger. With a roar, it turned and headed towards the sea.
But the next second, it sensed something, and a barrier of icy energy suddenly enveloped its body.
“Bang!”
With a resounding bang, a thick white beam of light struck the barrier, shattering it
with a resounding blast.
The Zha Bingling looked up at the sky.
“Your opponent is me. Do you think I’ll let you go?” Mikala said, looking down.
Zha Bingling was so furious because she must have discovered that Night Ring King had dived to the seabed and was transporting something. At this critical moment, he couldn’t let Zha Bingling go back.
Otherwise, Qiao Sang would find out he hadn’t stopped Zha Bingling, and where would his dignity as a teacher be?
“Zha Zha!”
Zha Bingling roared.
The temperature plummeted, and everything around them instantly froze into a crust of ice.
High in the sky, Peng Jiamei’s eyes glowed blue.
A battle was imminent.
…
At the same time,
on the vast plain, the atmosphere was completely different.
Pets of all shapes and sizes surrounded Qiao Sang, Ya Bao, and the others, laughing and chatting happily, a peaceful and tranquil scene.
“Don’t crowd around yet; there are still many pets that haven’t thawed yet,” Qiao Sang said.
The pets immediately stepped back, making room for Lu Bao.
Little Xunbao took out all the ice sculptures from the two remaining rings.
Lu Bao placed his paw on them, thawing them one by one.
Little Xunbao had already entered social mode.
“Xunxun~”
“Xunxun~”
It stood in the center of the pets, vividly recounting how it had dived to the bottom of the sea, battled Zha Bingling and Zha Shuima, and rescued them.
The pets covered their mouths, exclaiming in shock and admiration.
They couldn’t recognize Xiao Xunbao’s species, and since he had been rescued, none of them doubted his words.
Amidst the pets’ exclamations, Xiao Xunbao straightened his back and lifted his head higher.
Qingbao rolled his eyes nearby, but didn’t criticize Xiao Xunbao’s exaggerated claims.
It was unbelievable that all these pets were still alive… Qiao Sang looked at the pets around her, feeling both delighted and filled with a thirst for knowledge, eager to understand what was going on.
Suddenly, she saw a frog-like pet about 80 centimeters tall, wearing a miniature miniaturization bracelet and a white identity bracelet. Its body was mostly light blue, with white cheek flaps on each side, and irregular blue crystals dangling from its neck. She was stunned.
A Cold Frog? Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on the crystal on the frog’s pet’s neck, instantly confirming that the pet before him was the one the B&B owner had lost. He exclaimed in surprise,
“Cold Frog!”
“Cold?” The Cold Frog looked over.
“Is your Beast Tamer the B&B owner?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Cold.”
The Cold Frog’s expression didn’t change much, but nodded matter-of-factly.
“Great,” Qiao Sang smiled. “We’re staying at your Beast Tamer’s B&B now. He’s been looking for you and even called the police.”
“Cold,”
the Cold Frog chirped, acknowledging that he was my Beast Tamer, as he was supposed to do.
As expected, the beast lived up to its name: cold and ruthless… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said,
“Come back with me then.”
“Cold,”
the Cold Frog nodded.
The conversation ended there.
“Cold?”
After about five or six seconds, the Cold Frog chirped, asking if its Beast Tamer was okay.
“Steel Chief,”
Gang Bao translated.
It seems that the Cold Frog isn’t completely cold to the core… Qiao Sang replied, “It’s definitely not good for him since you’re gone, but he should be fine when you return.”
The Cold Frog fell silent, his expression still grim, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
After about half an hour, all the pets that had turned into ice sculptures had been rescued.
Lu Bao breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao Sang looked around at the pets around him and said:
“Now that we’re safe, let’s all go back quickly.”
The pets looked at each other and shouted.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao helped translate.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. “You said you couldn’t sense the Beastmaster’s location and didn’t know how to get back?”
The pets nodded.
Of course, not all Beastmasters can sense their pets at a distance… Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then asked,
“Then I’ll take you to the police station?”
The pets nodded.
Qiao Sang took out her phone and activated the police station’s navigation.
At the same time, she felt like she’d forgotten something.
Never mind, let’s not think about it for now. The most important thing now is to get all the pets there… Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, placed the navigation location in front of Little Xunbao, and said,
“Let’s go here.”
“Wait…”
The Dragon King looked up at the sky, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Why hadn’t their Beastmaster arrived yet? He was so slow.
Little Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue as he confirmed the location and channeled his energy.
The next second, Qiao Sang and his pets disappeared from the spot.
