Chapter 1418: Mold Nightmare Snake

"Next, let us invite the participating contestants of the second match of the Master Challenge, Championship and runner-up battle, round-robin tournament," Nephthys said with a passionate tone, "From Tianyuan Star, Contestant Serana!"

Auror added immediately: "Serana, has already won sixty-five championships in her professional career. Almost her whole life has been in Beast Taming battles!"

As his words fell, a white light fell on the high platform, and Serana appeared before everyone's eyes.

In an instant, the whole arena erupted in deafening cheering and screaming:

"Serana! Serana!"

"And Contestant Qiao Sang from Blue Star!" On the high platform, Nephthys's voice was even more full of passion than before.

"Qiao Sang, the super new star of the Beast Taming world!" Auror's tone was equally full of passion, "Only 18 years old, she is the youngest A-level professional Beast Tamer in history! This is her first time appearing in the public eye, participating in interstellar competitions, yet she has walked to this point with an invincible record! Becoming a top-three contestant!"

A white light fell straight down on the high platform on the other side.

Qiao Sang appeared on it.

The sound wave, louder than before, swept across the arena like a tsunami instantly. Everyone and every pet beast were screaming almost at the top of their lungs, and the sound wave that reached the clouds was full of fanaticism.

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

Amidst the calls of everyone and every pet beast, the two hosts and Beloved Heart disappeared out of thin air and appeared on the commentary stage.

"Heart Heart~"

Beloved Heart listened to the sound of the whole arena, sighed with emotion, and called out, indicating that everyone is so enthusiastic.

Nephthys said with a smile: "Judging from everyone's reaction, whether it is Contestant Serana or Contestant Qiao Sang, they both possess super high popularity."

"Heart Heart~"

Beloved Heart nodded, indicating it saw it.

Auror asked: "Beloved Heart, I heard you have also been paying attention to the Master Challenge recently. You shouldn't be unfamiliar with the two contestants. What kind of trend do you think this match will have?"

"Heart Heart~"

"Heart Heart~"

Beloved Heart thought seriously for a while and called out twice, indicating that these two contestants are both very powerful. Contestant Serana has rich practical experience. Although Contestant Qiao Sang is very young, her practical experience doesn't look inferior to professional Beast Tamers older than her. It feels the match should be very intense, but in the end, it will be Serana who wins by a narrow margin. After all, she has one more Emperor-level pet beast than Contestant Qiao Sang, and the weakest pet beast is also at the King level, which is stronger than the Thunder Sky Dragon.

"It seems Beloved Heart has already watched the matches of both Contestant Serana and Contestant Qiao Sang carefully," Nephthys smiled.

In the chat between the hosts and the guest, the Mechanical-type pet beast wearing the referee badge appeared on the field and blew the whistle representing preparation.

The light and shadow of "10" appeared in the air, constantly changing along with the mechanical sound.

"9, 8, 7..."

Serana... Qiao Sang looked at the figure on the high platform in the distance, her heartbeat accelerated bit by bit unconsciously.

She knew this was caused by excitement.

At the beginning of the competition, she only wanted to get on good terms with the other party, because at that time she had absolutely no thought that she would win. But having walked to this point, she only wants to win, wants herself to win.

Serana nodded slightly to her, and even though they were far apart, she also felt Qiao Sang's fiery gaze.

"3, 2, 1." The light and shadow disappeared.

Qiao Sang and Serana formed seals with both hands at the same time.

Two mysterious and deep purple star arrays lit up on the field at the same time.

The sound in the audience stands was as if controlled, and everyone quieted down, watching the field intently, waiting for the pet beasts to appear.

Before long, two pet beasts with huge bodies and full of pressure appeared in the star arrays.

"Ya Ya!!!"

Like Ya Bao roared excitedly in the star array, and then stamped its claws downward forcefully.

"Boom!!!"

Countless scorching magma instantly erupted from the ground, sweeping across the entire field.

The figure on the other side of the field was instantly swallowed up.

Dark red magma pressed over layer by layer like a surging sea tide, and the air was scorching and distorted.

Barriers rose around the field, blocking the terrifying magma from flowing toward the audience stands.

The noisy sound erupted instantly.

"Good guy, Burning Emperor Duo actually unleashed the super-tier skill Magma Purgatory at the start! Is it this fierce!"

"Do you think the Mold Nightmare Snake will be finished off directly?"

"Impossible, but it's possible it's directly heavily wounded. After all, Burning Emperor Duo's Magma Purgatory is not just a super-tier skill, and at a glance, the proficiency is not low."

"Why didn't the Mold Nightmare Snake dodge just now?"

"How could it dodge? The entire field was covered by magma, and it can't fly or perform space movement."

"Don't forget, Serana's Mold Nightmare Snake has a super-tier defensive skill."

"Burning Emperor Duo unleashed Magma Purgatory at the start!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys said loudly, "The Mold Nightmare Snake blocked it with the Dream-Eating Barrier!"

"Dream-Eating Barrier, a super-tier defensive skill, is also a rare super-tier skill with dual attributes of Poison and Ghost," Auror said, "Any long-range attack can be corroded by the Dream-Eating Barrier, and for close-range attacks, any pet beast that comes into contact with the barrier will be swallowed into the Dream-Eating Barrier and fall into a dream."

"Heart Heart." Beloved Heart looked at the movement on the field and called out, indicating it seems the Magma Purgatory unleashed by Burning Emperor Duo is still more powerful, the Dream-Eating Barrier didn't completely block the magma.

On the field, magma that seemed to be able to burn everything rushed down from the Mold Nightmare Snake.

It was wrapped in a black-purple spherical barrier. On the barrier, one pit after another was burned out. Part of the magma flowed into the barrier, and with a "hiss..." sound, the magma dissolved and disappeared inside, emitting purple poisonous gas.

However, after the poisonous gas disappeared, there were more or less some burn marks left on the Mold Nightmare Snake's body.

Mold Nightmare Snake, a variant Ghost-type Emperor-level pet beast. Different from ordinary Mold Nightmare Snakes, Serana's Mold Nightmare Snake has a disability and cannot perform stealth and floating like ordinary Ghost-type pet beasts, but at the same time, it has an extra Poison-type attribute that other Mold Nightmare Snakes don't have. It is a variant dual-attribute Emperor-level pet beast... Qiao Sang looked at the snake-type pet beast in the distance, about 30 meters in size, with a mostly semi-transparent black-purple gelatinous body, irregular marks floating inside, dragon horns on its head that hadn't branched, and a deep black tail. After the relevant information appeared in her mind, her gaze fell on the irregular marks that could be seen in its body.

It is said that the Mold Nightmare Snake can invade other people's dreams, turn their sweet dreams into nightmares, and swallow real nightmares into its body to convert them into energy for its own use. Each mark inside represents a dream that has been swallowed.

VIP room.

"Xia Xia!"

Xia Xia Lala called out excitedly.

In its view, Like Ya Bao's attack just now was very successful.

Mi Mi Jiala stood on the side, looking at the scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window, her expression a bit solemn.

"Jiu Jiu."

Jiu Bu Gu appeared on the side and called out, indicating what is there to worry about, it's just a Ghost-type pet beast that can't perform stealth.

"Haven't you heard of Serana's Mold Nightmare Snake on Tianyuan Star?" Mi Mi Jiala asked.

"Jiu Jiu." Jiu Bu Gu responded, indicating this Mold Nightmare Snake is the same gender as it, and it never pays attention to guys of the same gender as it.

Mi Mi Jiala: "..."

Pen Jia Mei: "..."

Dragon King: "..."

Xia Xia Lala stopped cheering, glanced at Jiu Bu Gu, then thought of something

"This Mold-Night Snake of Selana's is a dual-type pet beast, Ghost and Poison." Mi Mi Jiala stared at the arena and said slowly, "Although it's a 'glass cannon' compared to other Emperor-tier pet beasts, once you are hit by it—whether by a long-range or melee attack—you will fall into a curse of bad luck or be poisoned. It's a character that becomes harder to deal with the longer the battle drags on."

"Qiuqiu."

After listening, Qiu Bugu let out a cry, indicating that didn't Like Ya Bao have the Sacred Fire to dispel curses?

Although it didn't usually appear, Like Ya Bao and the others trained every day, so it still had some understanding of their skill situations.

"The proficiency of Like Ya Bao's Sacred Fire isn't particularly high," Mi Mi Jiala said in a deep voice. "And this Mold-Night Snake of Selana's has a Bad Luck trait that has already reached S-rank. As long as you attack it, there's over a 90% chance you'll become unlucky. Even if the Sacred Fire can dispel the curse, I'm afraid it won't be fast enough to purify it every time."

"Momo."

Long Dawang let out a cry, indicating what was there to be afraid of? At worst, it would just be so unlucky that the Blaze trait wouldn't trigger.

Mi Mi Jiala gave it a look that said, "Do you even know how to talk?"

Long Dawang looked at its own Beast Tamer, its expression saying: Why are you looking at me?

"Penpen."

At this moment, Penjiamei let out a cry, indicating that the Mold-Night Snake was a glass cannon, and Like Ya Bao should be able to finish it off without needing to trigger Blaze.

Mi Mi Jiala looked at Penjiamei, revealed a smile, and said, "You're right."

On the arena.

The tattered barrier on the Mold-Night Snake's body vanished.

At the same time, starting from its location, the dark red magma around it transformed into a black-purple color at a speed visible to the naked eye and rapidly spread crazily across the entire arena.

"Mars," Qiao Sang said.

Like Ya Bao teleported and vanished, appearing high in the air. It tilted its head slightly, opened its mouth, and a terrifying crimson light instantly condensed deep in its throat.

However, at this very moment, countless purple poison needles surged crazily upward from the Mold-Night Snake's body.

Just as the poison needles were about to strike Like Ya Bao, the flames around its body suddenly swept outward, forming a spherical flame barrier that enveloped it within.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The poison needles struck the barrier, and as they exploded, the purple poison gas also rapidly spread and permeated the area.

At the same time, a crimson energy ball containing terrifying energy shot out from the gap left above the flame barrier.

With a "bang," the crimson energy ball exploded at the highest point.

Countless fire rains fell, the temperature in the air soared, and the entire arena and the sky seemed to be dyed red.

The Mars Rain was successfully executed, but Qiao Sang's expression instead became grave.

There was more and more poison gas on the arena...

She hadn't noticed it before, but now, besides the red reflection, the entire air also contained purple...

Qiao Sang looked at the magma that had changed color and the air filled with poison gas, and a match video of Selana's flashed subconsciously through her mind.

At that time, the opponent fighting the Mold-Night Snake was a Dragon-type pet beast. At first, it was completely no match for that Dragon-type pet beast. When it was about to be unable to stand at the end, the Dragon-type pet beast, which was preparing to launch a big move to end the match, suddenly couldn't execute its skill. Its entire body turned purple, it was poisoned and fell to the ground, falling into a fainting state, directly reversing the outcome.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang said:

"Hold!"

High in the air, Like Ya Bao held its breath.

You discovered it, huh... Selana started to laugh.

Holding your breath, but how long can you really hold it for...

"Divine Mist," Selana said.

Divine Mist, Neural Poison Mist, a high-tier Poison-type skill. It could make the target's reactions sluggish, decrease skill hit rate, and even cause hallucinations... The data on "Divine Mist" flashed rapidly through Qiao Sang's mind, and she didn't issue a command.

As long as Like Ya Bao could hold its breath, these poison gas-type skills could be ignored; after all, there was no other better way.

However, the rhythm of the battle had to be accelerated... Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and issued a command:

"Continuous attack."

Like Ya Bao opened its mouth, and a golden-red light beam instantly pierced through the fire rain and struck downward.

A black-purple barrier instantly enveloped the Mold-Night Snake.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Successive loud noises rang out; the barrier not only blocked the golden light beam but also kept the fire rain outside.

High in the air, Like Ya Bao teleported and vanished, appearing behind the Mold-Night Snake, and opened its mouth.

Purple poison gas permeated the air, and before Like Ya Bao could make any move, it suddenly went "bang" and vanished.

This is learning from the Ring Monarch to use a Substitute to divert attention. The Fenduo just now shouldn't have been a Substitute, but a Clone. The real Fenduo... Selana looked up at the high sky and, sure enough, saw the second "sun" that had suddenly appeared.

"Mix," she decided quickly.

Fenduo was not easy to deal with, especially for a pet beast like the Mold-Night Snake that didn't have high defense and wasn't fast at moving. However, every pet beast had its own way of fighting. Comprehensive strength being inferior to Fenduo didn't mean there was no way to deal with it.

"Meimei."

The Mold-Night Snake looked at the fire rain filling the sky, slowly spat out a mouthful of poison gas, and then the purple-black barrier around its body vanished.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Countless fire rains fell continuously onto its body.

The Mold-Night Snake frowned, enduring the pain.

At the same time, it raised its tail, opened its mouth, and poison gases of different colors sprayed outward from its mouth, tail, and gelatinous body.

Purple, black, red, and green poison gases mixed together and spread around its body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The Mold-Night Snake has executed Mixed Poison Gas!" Neftis said loudly at the commentary desk.

"Mixed Poison Gas is not a single skill, but the Mold-Night Snake executing the four high-tier poison gas skills it knows simultaneously, fusing them together and spreading them in the air," Aoror said. "Corrosive Poison Gas can corrode the target and cause continuous damage; Neural Poison Mist can make the target's reactions sluggish and cause hallucinations; Pressure Poison Gas will greatly reduce the target's speed, making it difficult for Flying-type pet beasts to take off; Memory Poison Mist will cause the target's brain to be covered in a layer of fog for a certain period of time, so even if the Beast Tamer issues a command, it cannot immediately connect it to the skills it knows."

"With these four poison gas-type skills added together, if Fenduo gets hit, the match is as good as half-lost."

He paused and added, "But the premise is that the Mold-Night Snake can withstand or dodge Fenduo's Radiant Impact."
