Chapter 1223

She pressed the speakerphone.

A deep male voice came from it:

"I am Lei Da."

Qiao Sang fell silent.

Steel Bao also fell silent for a moment, flapped its wings, and turned to leave the room.

This name is so sloppy that I thought it was taken by a pet beast... Qiao Sang resisted the urge to complain, canceled the speakerphone, put the phone to her ear, and asked: "May I ask when you can come over?"

"I can come over at any time," the deep male voice said. "However, before coming over, I want to change the reward."

"What do you want?" Qiao Sang asked.

The reward for the task she just posted was 100,000 Alliance coins per day.

Yan Yan Tianxing has sunny days all year round, and it's rare for it to rain or thunder. Beast Tamers and pet beasts that can change the weather to rain, snow, or thunder have extremely high market value. It costs a hefty reward to have them change the weather once. However, Qiao Sang increased the reward by 10,000 to 20,000 Alliance coins based on the general market rate, just so that a Beast Tamer or pet beast could accept the task quickly.

"I actually noticed you before; you are very famous in the circle of purifying curses," the man said. "I want you to help me purify a curse."

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly: "I have sent you a private message before, but unfortunately you didn't reply to me."

Whether a Beast Tamer accepts a task, the success rate, whether it was completed, what tasks were done, and the other party's evaluation—if you don't set it to hidden, these can all be viewed by clicking on the official software of the Beast Taming Center.

So you noticed me before; no wonder you accepted the task so quickly... Qiao Sang asked: "What curse?"

After these few days of practice, Ya Bao has successfully mastered the two abilities of purifying curses and attacking, and can skillfully perform them separately without making mistakes.

"Aging curse," the man said in a low voice. "My pet beast was afflicted with an aging curse and I can see it getting a few years older every day. If possible, I hope you can pay me the reward first. No matter how many days of thundery weather you want, I will try my best to help you perform it."

Aging curse, a relatively evil one among Ghost-type curse-type curses. The target afflicted will age at a speed visible to the naked eye every day, and when it gets as old as it can be, it will die directly.

Qiao Sang had seen this curse when she was looking for curse-purification tasks, but felt it was too evil and the difficulty was too high, so she didn't accept it.

She pondered for a moment and said truthfully: "I don't guarantee that I will succeed in purifying it."

After all, Ya Bao hadn't purified this level of evil curse before.

"It's okay, you are already the Beast Tamer with the highest purification success rate I have ever seen," the man said hurriedly. "As long as you help me purify it, whether it succeeds or not, I will help you complete this task."

"Alright, then come over now," Qiao Sang gave the address of the villa.

"I'll be there right away," the man said and hung up the phone.

"Ding-dong~"

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

Qiao Sang, who had been waiting in the living room, got up to open the door.

A man who looked about fifty years old and a yellow bird-type pet beast with very sparse feathers and wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet stood at the door.

Thunder Rain Bird, a dual-attribute Electric and Flying type Emperor-level pet beast, likes thundery weather. Unfortunately, Yan Yan Tianxing rarely has such weather, so it is often in low spirits. However, they often perform thundery weather themselves to reinvigorate their spirits. If you encounter thundery weather, it might not be natural weather, but the Thunder Rain Bird is nearby... Qiao Sang's mind flashed with information about the yellow bird-type pet beast in front of her.

"Hello, I am Lei Da," the man introduced himself.

"Lei-lei," the Thunder Rain Bird also let out a cry.

Its voice sounded very old.

"Is this the Thunder Rain Bird that was afflicted with the aging curse?" Qiao Sang asked.

Most bird-type pet beasts' aging cannot be seen from the face, but when some bird-type pet beasts age, their feathers become very sparse.

Lei Da said "Mm" heavily: "It has been cursed for a week. During this period, I found many Beast Tamers and pet beasts specializing in removing curses, but they didn't remove the curse."

He didn't feel contempt because the girl in front of him looked only like she was in her teens. The information clicked into the Beast Taming Center software clearly stated that the person in front of him was a B-level big shot.

"Come in first," Qiao Sang stepped aside and said.

Lei Da and the Thunder Rain Bird walked to the living room.

Before they could sit on the sofa, Ya Bao walked in and let out a cry:

"Ya-ya?"

Who needs purification?

After the other party accepted the task, Qiao Sang had mentioned the purification to Ya Bao.

Ya Bao's gaze swept over Lei Da and the Thunder Rain Bird, and finally landed on Lei Da.

Without saying a word, it opened its mouth, and golden flames instantly appeared deep in its throat.

Its Beast Tamer said it was an aging curse; in its view, this human looked older.

"Lei-lei!"

The Thunder Rain Bird was startled and hurriedly blocked in front of its Beast Tamer.

"Ya Bao," Qiao Sang's mouth twitched, and she said: "The one that needs the curse purified is not him, but the Thunder Rain Bird."

Ya Bao didn't know who the Thunder Rain Bird was, but in front of it, there was only a human and a pet beast.

It cast its gaze on the yellow bird-type pet beast blocking in front.

"Lei-lei..."

An Emperor-level pet beast has an awe-inspiring presence. Even if Ya Bao was just looking at it lightly, the Thunder Rain Bird still felt an inexplicable fear in its heart and couldn't help but shrink back, taking a step back.

"Don't be afraid," Lei Da comforted: "It is the pet beast that helps with purification."

He had learned about the B-level big shot in front of him, read the evaluation of the completed tasks, and knew that the pet beast that purified the curse was a Fire-type pet beast.

The Thunder Rain Bird was stunned for a moment.

Just as it was stunned, Ya Bao sprayed out golden flames, which landed entirely on the Thunder Rain Bird.

"Lei-lei..."

The Thunder Rain Bird first tensed its body subconsciously, and then put on a comfortable expression.

Seeing this, Lei Da put on a nervous expression.

Ya Bao kept its mouth open, maintaining the Sacred Fire.

After about three minutes, the flames disappeared.

The Thunder Rain Bird felt its light body. It was stunned, hopped twice, then looked at its Beast Tamer, put on an excited expression, and let out a cry:

"Lei-lei!"

Its voice was crisp, completely without the previous old age.

Lei Da didn't know what he heard, but he also put on an excited expression and began to hug the Thunder Rain Bird, shouting "That's great, that's great."

Has it been completely purified? Qiao Sang looked at Ya Bao with an inquiring gaze.

"Ya-ya."

Ya Bao nodded and let out a cry.

Although it took a bit longer, it seems that Ya Bao can also purify this level of evil curse... Qiao Sang looked at Lei Da and said: "The curse has been removed. Can you help me do the task now?"

Lei Da put down the Thunder Rain Bird, nodded, and said: "Of course!"

As he spoke, he put on an embarrassed expression and continued: "There is one point I might not have made clear before: the thundery weather performed by the Thunder Rain Bird might only be able to be maintained for half a minute."

Qiao Sang: "???"

Seeing the expression of the B-level big shot in front of him was wrong, Lei Da hurriedly added: "However, after the thundery weather is about to end, the Thunder Rain Bird can continue to perform it."

Qiao Sang's expression softened, and she smiled: "That doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Lei Da breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "I don't know how long you need the thundery weather to be maintained?"

"About a minute or so is enough," Qiao Sang said.

The main thing is that it takes time to rise to a high altitude to swallow lightning.

"Is it performed here?" Lei Da asked.

Rain, snow, hail, thunder, etc., are all relatively rare weather on Yan Yan Tianxing. Many Beast Tamers get tired of looking at the sun, so they call pet beasts that can change the weather to perform it near their homes, and then stay at home to enjoy it.

"No," Qiao Sang said. "We have to go to Gaoqiu Mountain."

Gaoqiu Mountain? Lei Da was stunned for a moment: "Isn't that the territory of the Fragrant Moth?"

He remembered that what the Fragrant Moth is afraid of is lightning.

"It is the territory of the Fragrant Moth," Qiao Sang said.

A dignified B-level big shot, what are you doing scaring the Fragrant Moth with thundery weather? Could it be that you have a grudge against them? That doesn't seem right either. With the strength of a B-level big shot, dealing with a group of Fragrant Moths is a matter of minutes... Lei Da thought for a long time without figuring it out, didn't ask any more questions, and said: "Let's go, I can go right now."

"Lei-lei." The Thunder Rain Bird nodded and let out a cry, indicating that it was also ready.

"No rush, I'll call my pet beast back first," Qiao Sang said and called out: "Qing Bao."

She could have directly summoned Little Treasure Hunter and Ting Bao back, but Ting Bao is currently competing, and it wouldn't be very good if she summoned them back while they were battling.

"Qing-qing."

As soon as the words fell, Qing Bao appeared on the side.

Lei Da was stunned as he looked at the pet beast that appeared suddenly.

Although he couldn't recognize what pet beast this was, this pet beast looked like a super rare one at first glance.

"Is your clone currently following Little Treasure Hunter and the others?" Qiao Sang asked.

She remembered that when she was in the room just now, Qing Bao was also on the side.

"Qing-qing." Qing Bao nodded.

The wind had already told it the location of Little Treasure Hunter and the others.

"Call Little Treasure Hunter and Ting Bao back," Qiao Sang said.

"Qing-qing." Qing Bao let out a well-behaved cry, then focused on controlling its clone.

After about three minutes, Little Treasure Hunter appeared out of thin air with Ting Bao.

"Ting-ting?"

Ting Bao let out an impatient cry, asking if it could go to collect points quickly now?

"Before going, practice holding your breath for a minute first," Qiao Sang said calmly.

"Ting-ting."

Ting Bao didn't understand, but Ting Bao did as told.

Lei Da's gaze fell on the point recorder worn by the Dragon-type pet beast in front of him, and he instantly understood something and asked:

"Are you trying to defeat a group of Fragrant Moths to accumulate points?"

Qiao Sang said "Mm."

She hadn't planned to hide this matter herself.

"But thundery weather can only change the weather; it cannot make lightning attack the Fragrant Moth," Lei Da suggested. "Why don't I let the Thunder Rain Bird hide in the clouds and secretly perform other lightning skills."

Although the pet beast free point battle tournament limits this and that, the competition venue is spread throughout Huachang City. If you really want to accumulate points quickly, there is still a lot of room for operation.

Generally speaking, contestants will arrange for their opponents to meet at a venue that is favorable to themselves.

He also had an intermediate pet beast signed up for the pet beast free point battle tournament, so he naturally knew the ropes.

He himself also wanted his pet beast to get number one in points, but later discovered that the contestants in the top few all had point-brushing behaviors to some extent, and he couldn't brush points better than others, so he gave up in the first month of the competition.

Good grief, even more ruthless than me... Qiao Sang's mouth twitched slightly, and she said: "There's no need for that."

"But you went to great lengths to find a pet beast to perform thundery weather, it should be because you want to get number one in points," Lei Da couldn't help but say: "I heard that the points of the top three pet beasts in points are ridiculously high. The Swaying Grass in third place is said to be the most talented in the entire species. Their entire species has made deals with many other Grass-type species and Bug-type species, specifically sending weaker contestants for the Swaying Grass to brush points."

"If it weren't for the competition being relatively formal, with records and referees watching the whole process, and battles being hard to fake, I guess the Swaying Grass could have accumulated more points."

"The Fire Monkey in second place relies on real materials. It has the Solar Power trait. As long as there is sun, it is basically invincible among pet beasts of the same tier. It can have its state doubled no matter where it competes in Huachang City."

"However, a pet beast battle club behind it took a fancy to its talent and sponsored it with energy recovery liquid, so it could battle so many matches every day."

"The Earth Land Dragon in first place is not only strong but also has a group of Bug-type little brothers. I don't know how many points its Bug-type little brothers brushed for it. If it weren't for the fact that you can't battle the same pet beast repeatedly after winning, the Earth Land Dragon's points could probably double again."

Qiao Sang listened silently and held a different opinion, saying:

"I don't know about other pet beasts, but the Earth Land Dragon would absolutely not use its Bug-type little brothers to brush points."

The Earth Land Dragon wouldn't even battle Ting Bao a second time; how could it use weak pet beasts to continuously brush points?

Lei Da was stunned for a moment: "You know it?"

"Ting Bao battled it before," Qiao Sang said.

Lei Da looked at the Dragon-type pet beast he didn't recognize. Just as he wanted to ask who won the match, Ting Bao breathed heavily and let out a cry:

"Ting-ting..."

It couldn't hold on anymore...

"It's already been a minute," Qiao Sang had been estimating the time and said: "Let's set off now."

After saying that, she exhorted: "When battling the Fragrant Moth later, you must remember to hold your breath."

"Ting-ting."

Ting Bao's eyes lit up, and it nodded vigorously.

"Xun-xun~"

Little Treasure Hunter still remembered the coordinates it had positioned before, its eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared from the spot with the crowd of figures in the living room.

Gaoqiu Mountain.

Qiao Sang stood on the mountaintop and looked out, but didn't see many Fragrant Moths.

"How are you going to convince so many Fragrant Moths to come out and battle?" Lei Da asked.

Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure Hunter and said: "Take out the Fragrance Wanli."

Fragrance Wanli, a prop bought on Super Star, can disperse rich fragrance to the surroundings, attracting some pet beasts that like fragrance.

When the sales introduced it back then, they said that as long as it's a pet beast that likes fragrance, it's impossible not to be attracted. Even if you only spray a little, pet beasts that like fragrance thousands of miles away might smell it and come over specifically.

If it's really as magical as the sales said, then as long as you spray Fragrance Wanli, all the Fragrant Moths on the entire Gaoqiu Mountain should come over.

"Xun-xun~"

Little Treasure Hunter let out a cry, took off the ring, took out a brown bottle from it, and teleported to various directions in the air to spray it.

Before long, the branches and leaves of the mountain range swayed "rustlingly." Underground, between the grass, in the trees, and in the air, groups of pet beasts suddenly emerged and gathered.

Besides Fragrant Moths, there were all kinds of other species.

Holy crap, why are there so many pet beasts... Qiao Sang looked at the pet beasts gathering from all directions, her expression changing slightly.
