Chapter 1024

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the Witch Secret Demon fell heavily to the ground, protecting the young man.

Dust flew, and countless stones splashed.

The surrounding Beast Tamers and the pet beasts battling hurriedly retreated to avoid it.

Once the dust settled, looking at the two figures in the crater, everyone almost wept with joy, many showing the joy of surviving a disaster.

"We won! We won!"

"Did we survive?"

"There are still wild pet beasts! Let's join forces to deal with the wild pet beasts first!"

The villain who created the chaos had fallen, but the wild pet beasts were still there. Before everyone could go and kick the young man, they had to continue the battle with the wild Ghost-type pet beasts.

Although the number of wild Ghost-type pet beasts hadn't decreased, the culprit had fallen, and hope ignited in everyone's hearts. Negative emotions plummeted, and the ghost mist thinned out a lot.

Because there were too many wild pet beasts and the scene was too chaotic, plus the Witch Secret Demon's size was truly too large, completely covering the young man below, no one noticed the young man take out a bottle of potion and pour it into the Witch Secret Demon's mouth.

Qingbao appeared beside its Beast Tamer, the angry expression on its face not yet gone.

Qiao Sang was just about to ask how Qingbao had come out of the Beast Taming Tome on its own, when she noticed the Witch Secret Demon below seemed to move.

It seems this Ghost-type pet beast's defense is also much stronger than other Ghost-type pet beasts of the same rank; I have to finish it off...

This thought had just flashed through her mind when Gangbao flapped its wings hard downward, and hundreds of purple-glowing feathers immediately attacked downward like purple blades.

Just as the purple blades were only a few dozen meters away from the Witch Secret Demon, it turned its head abruptly.

A black hole suddenly appeared in front of it, and hundreds of purple blades rushed into it and disappeared.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

They fled in all directions, even if it meant enduring the attacks of the wild Ghost-type pet beasts, they had to stay away from the Witch Secret Demon.

The negative energy in the ghost mist increased abruptly.

"Witch witch..."

The Witch Secret Demon floated up slowly.

The young man stood up from the ground, looked up at the young girl high in the sky, his expression ugly. He raised his hands to form seals, but after discovering he still couldn't summon the Light-Seeking Sora and Water-Sealing Thorn Horse back, he said in a firm tone:

"Absorb directly."

The Witch Secret Demon turned to look at the young man.

The young man said in a deep voice:

"Don't hesitate, if we wait for the other person to come back, we might never have another chance."

The Witch Secret Demon looked at the young man, then at the humans around it who were fighting the wild Ghost-type pet beasts. It could clearly see the faint vitality in each of them. No longer hesitating, its eyes glowed with purple light.

The negative energy in the surrounding ghost mist immediately surged, rushing into its body like a fierce flood.

Not only that, but a faint, imperceptible energy also rose from everyone around, concentrating and surging toward it.

Everyone's faces aged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their bodies became weak.

A red-and-gold beam of light attacked diagonally from high in the sky.

A black hole appeared in front of the Witch Secret Demon, and the beam of light shot into the black hole and disappeared.

Is this... absorbing vitality? Qiao Sang stood high in the sky, clearly seeing a stream of energy rising from everyone and surging into the Witch Secret Demon's body.

Her heart sank heavily, and she said:

"Different positions, do it again."

Like Ya Bao opened its mouth, and red-and-gold energy condensed within.

Little Xunbao teleported behind the Witch Secret Demon and stretched out its claws.

Gangbao turned into a purple light and arrived a few dozen meters away, spreading its wings.

Lubao radiated cold ice energy.

Qingbao turned into wind again, and a violent gale immediately blew up, surging toward the Witch Secret Demon.

"Hatred Transfer!" the young man said.

"Witch witch!"

The Witch Secret Demon let out a loud cry, and a strange energy surged from its body, spreading rapidly to the surroundings.

Wherever it passed, everyone and every pet beast had a dazed expression, and then looked at the figures high in the sky with angry eyes.

The people had their vitality sucked away and no longer had the strength, but the wild pet beasts took action immediately, changing their targets and charging head-on toward the attacks coming from high in the sky.

But the next second, they were bombed by the various attacks, falling downward with miserable cries.

The number of wild Ghost-type pet beasts was so large that although many were shot down, most dodged the attacks and floated rapidly toward the figures high in the sky.

Hatred Transfer, a high-tier Evil-type skill; it can make the target of hatred in a certain range shift to another target... Qiao Sang decided decisively:

"Sing!"

Lubao opened its mouth without a word and began to sing: "Ice ice~ ice ice~ ice~ ice ice ice~ ice~"

Invisible sound waves rippled out.

All the Ghost-type pet beasts that had charged over stopped. They looked at each other, seemingly not understanding why they wanted to attack others.

At the same time, the anger on everyone's faces gradually dissipated, and they each showed a peaceful expression.

"What happened to me?"

"I feel like I don't have any strength at all now..."

"I really want to sleep..."

"Me too..."

"I think I saw my great-grandmother..."

The negative energy in the ghost mist plummeted, and the color faded a lot.

Healing Sound Waves... the young man's expression was ugly.

Suddenly, a violent gale surged, rolling him into mid-air.

The Witch Secret Demon's expression changed abruptly, and it stopped absorbing energy.

"Bring him over." Qiao Sang said.

"Xun xun!" Little Xunbao's eyes glowed blue.

The next second, the young man appeared beside Like Ya Bao.

At the same time, a black hole appeared where the young man had originally been in mid-air.

"Witch witch!"

The Witch Secret Demon crawled out of the black hole, looked up at the sky, and showed an angry expression.

"Don't worry about me! Keep absorbing!" The young man didn't seem afraid at all, shouting loudly toward the bottom.

The energy the Witch Secret Demon had just operated stalled for a moment.

The Treasure Witch, which had been tugging at Qiao Sang's sleeve and shivering, floated to the young man's side, its whole body glowing purple, and bumped into the back of his head with a peaceful expression.

The young man, whose brows were full of ferocity, turned his head.

The moment he saw the Treasure Witch, he was stunned. The ferocity dissipated, and a hint of trance appeared in his eyes.

"Witch witch..."

Seeing its damage was useless, the Treasure Witch retreated peacefully to Qiao Sang's side.

This distance... Qiao Sang looked down at the Witch Secret Demon and reached out to tug on Lubao's tail.

Lubao immediately understood, looked down at the bottom, and radiated cold air visible to the naked eye from its whole body.

The surrounding temperature plummeted.

The young man realized something, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted:

"Go!"

However, it was already too late. The Witch Secret Demon maintained its upward-looking posture, its whole body freezing with a crackling sound, covered in a thick ice shell.

Like Ya Bao opened its mouth and accurately sprayed a red-and-gold beam of light downward.

"Witch witch!"

With a loud "bang," the Witch Secret Demon let out a miserable cry and was blasted to the ground.

Flames rolled with heat waves, exploding.

Finish it off... Before Qiao Sang could say these two words, a light sword over ten meters long condensed above the center of the heat waves and flames.

Holy Sword! The young man's face turned pale. He raised his hand, wanting to recall the Witch Secret Demon back into the Beast Taming Tome.

But the moment he raised his hand, Little Xunbao's eyes flashed with blue light, and the young man's movements stalled for a moment, as if controlled by some force, unable to move no matter what.

"Bang!!!"

The light sword over ten meters long struck the Witch Secret Demon heavily.

The ground beneath it exploded.

"Witch witch!!!"

The Witch Secret Demon let out a miserable cry, its vision gradually blurring. In the final moment, it looked up at its Beast Tamer, and past scenes flashed by like a revolving lantern.

The last scene to appear was its Beast Tamer walking in front of it, full of stubble, saying in a hoarse voice:

"I've thought of a way. As long as you absorb enough energy and evolve successfully, you can survive."

"Witch witch, you must evolve and survive!"

I'm sorry, I let you down... The Witch Secret Demon slowly closed its eyes.

"Ah! Ah!" Seeing this, the young man's pupils shrank, as if stimulated by something, and he screamed in pain.

"You used the news about the Soul-Guiding Cat to trick everyone here, creating chaos, letting the Witch Secret Demon absorb their negative energy and vitality, and even thought about absorbing death energy. Your crimes are monstrous. After we get out, I will send you to the police station." Qiao Sang looked at him and said slowly.

The young man looked over, his eyes bloodshot, his face livid, his brows full of ferocity, and he shouted angrily:

"What did I do wrong! They were all going to die soon anyway! Isn't it good to leave behind their last bit of value before they die! It's all you! If it weren't for you, my Witch Secret Demon would have absorbed all the energy long ago! It could have evolved! It could have survived! It's all you! It's all you!"

As he spoke, he actually forcibly broke free from the control and formed seals at high speed.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xunbao was stunned at first, then the blue light in its eyes grew richer, but the young man in front of it still broke free from the control, the veins on his hands bulging as he continued to form seals.

With Teacher Teacher Mi Jiala here, those two Emperor-rank pet beasts couldn't possibly be summoned over, and the opponent's other pet beasts had all fallen, so it didn't matter even if he formed seals... Qiao Sang's expression was calm, and an untimely thought flashed through her mind:

So the other party designed so much just to let the Witch Secret Demon evolve. It seems the Witch Secret Demon's white beard wasn't because it was a variant, but because it was old...

While forming seals, the young man sensed something. Then, as if he had sensed something, his expression sank. He stopped forming seals, waved his hand, and then turned and flew toward the spot where the Witch Secret Demon had fallen without hesitation.

Holy crap, he can fly?! Qiao Sang widened her eyes, unable to believe the scene she was seeing.

Without a Psychic-type pet beast helping him on the side, he could actually fly on his own?!

"Xun xun?!"

Little Xunbao also widened its eyes, showing an expression of disbelief.

Suddenly, the air trembled, and then one secret realm rift after another appeared again.

At this moment, Teacher Mi Jiala appeared out of thin air beside her and said:

"We have to get out. The space here is very unstable now and could be occupied by wild pet beasts coming out of the secret realm at any time."

Qiao Sang suppressed her desire to ask questions and was just about to nod when she saw the people below, no longer peaceful, but panicked and desperate again, and asked:

"Can they get out now?"

Teacher Mi Jiala nodded slightly:

"Light-Seeking Sora has fallen, so the space seal it cast naturally no longer exists."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang gathered her breath on the tip of her tongue and shouted:

"Quick, use the traction line! You can get out now!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone's expressions were shaken, and they felt an ecstasy of surviving a disaster.

"Great! Great!"

"We can get out!"

"Wuwuwu... I'm never looking for any Soul-Guiding Cat again after I get out."

Everyone put away their pet beasts, attached their spiritual power to the traction lines, and disappeared from where they were one by one.

Soon, more than half of the people below were gone.

The wind raged, the sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds as if draped in a black curtain, and combined with the ghost mist, the world was dim.

There were still many people who hadn't left.

Could it be that so many people didn't have traction lines? Qiao Sang's heart sank. Just as she was about to raise her voice to ask, she suddenly heard shouting from below:

"Senior! Do you have a traction line! If not, you can have mine!"

"That's right, big shot, I see you don't seem to have a traction line on your hand. Anyway, I don't have many days left to live, you can have my traction line!"

"Big shot, can you get out?"

Qiao Sang was stunned, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes, and she said loudly:

"I can get out, you guys hurry and go!"

Hearing this, the remaining people attached their spiritual power to the traction lines and disappeared from where they were.

But even so, there were still some people left below.

They didn't have traction lines in their hands.

The remaining people's faces were full of despair and unwillingness.

Everyone had risked coming here because they didn't have many days left to live. Not everyone had the money or channels to buy traction lines. They never thought they could go back alive from the start, but they hoped to find the Soul-Guiding Cat before they died.

But everything was fake...

A sense of despair spread, and everyone even lost the desire to fight.

Ghost-type pet beasts surged out from the secret realm rifts.

"Don't you want to leave yet?" Teacher Mi Jiala asked.

"Teacher, do you have a way to take everyone here out?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Yes." Teacher Mi Jiala said: "But the space here is very unstable now. If you want so many people to go out at the same time, you must open the space wide. At that time, the space here might completely collapse. People will get out, but the consequence might be that these Ghost-type pet beasts will all stay here, or worse, this place will become a forbidden area, and there will be a constant stream of Ghost-type pet beasts coming out from here, and people outside will all suffer."

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment and said: "Lubao, Healing Sound Waves."

Lubao began to sing: "Ice ice~ ice ice~ ice ice ice~ ice~"

Invisible sound waves rippled out.

The wild Ghost-type pet beasts stopped attacking, and the despair and unwillingness on everyone's faces disappeared, turning into peace.

Teacher Mi Jiala looked over.

"Let's go." Qiao Sang said in a deep voice.

Letting their final moments pass peacefully was the last thing she could do.

Teacher Mi Jiala turned her head and nodded to the air beside her.

Penjiamei appeared.

"Jia jia."

Suddenly, a pet beast with hands and feet, three eyes, and a red eye on its forehead appeared. It called out peacefully, indicating: Do you want to go out? I can help you.

Qiao Sang was stunned. She couldn't understand what it said, but she recognized the pet beast in front of her.

Masked Doll, intermediate Ghost-type pet beast; the eye in the middle can see through illusions.
