Chapter 368: As long as it isn't hit
A Stun-Owl, to think he would actually send it out... Qiao Sang scrutinized the pet beast before her, which stood over three meters tall and had a crest on its head made of two brown, wavy feathers.
Because of their large size and the fact that there aren't many Beast Tamers who own high-tier pet beasts, the ones you see on the street are basically all beginner or intermediate-tier pet beasts.
Added to the fact that, due to her social circle, although there are many Beast Tamers who have contracted a Chubby Dove, truthfully speaking, this was still the first time she had seen a Stun-Owl in reality since she transmigrated...
At the same time, the number of viewers on the live streaming platform continued to rise.
The chat flooded with messages.
"Family, who gets it! I finally saw Qiao Sang's live stream!"
"What about Ice Luqiya! Why didn't she send out Ice Luqiya!"
"The damn live streaming platform finally works."
"Hahaha, seeing the size difference between these two pet beasts, I find it so funny."
"Where are the families from the Guyu Region?"
"High schools in every district are producing talent. I was originally prepared to watch Ice Luqiya, but I didn't expect to see a high-tier pet beast. I remember this seems to be the high-tier form of the Chubby Dove."
"Oh my god, if this Ghost-type pet beast loses, doesn't that mean the next one will be Ice Luqiya facing a high-tier pet beast!"
"Although I want to see Ice Luqiya, I don't want to see it get bullied!"
Now that the competition had reached the knockout stage, the remaining contestants in the province had all gathered in one place, and there was only one live stream video left for Zhejiang Province.
After the group stage ended, the department in charge of the platform specifically and temporarily set up a management and maintenance division, finally solving the problem of the system's carrying capacity.
Of course, this matter couldn't be blamed on the official platform.
Who could have imagined that a mere high school competition within a province would attract tens of millions of viewers.
Not to mention the Rong Yuhua Region, the Guyu Region alone had tens of millions of people staring at the live stream screen at this moment.
On the Kainan pet beast battleground.
The ground sank, replaced by a field full of sand pits.
"Qu!"
Immediately after, the whistle signaling the start of the match sounded.
Almost simultaneously, Little Xiao Xunbao and the Stun-Owl disappeared from where they were.
The Stun-Owl flew up into the sky with a 'thud', while Little Xiao Xunbao turned invisible.
"Xun..."
Little Xiao Xunbao looked up at the massive pet beast in the high sky, revealing a thoughtful expression.
How come this guy feels like it's on the same level as Big Brother Like Ya Bao...
That can't be...
Am I really that amazing in my own Beast Tamer's eyes...
"Gale." Ruan Ruan Yunwen scanned the entire field, and seeing no sign of the Treasure-Hunting Ghost, she immediately came up with a counter-command.
"Stun-Owl."
The Stun-Owl flapped its wings downward with force, and a gale of unusual power swept toward the field, causing the sand and stones below to dance wildly in an instant.
Dust flew everywhere, and the mid-air of nearly half the field turned earthy yellow in a second.
It was impossible to stay in an environment full of dust.
"Xun..."
Little Xiao Xunbao pinched its nose with its claws and, with a look of disgust, teleported to the high sky that hadn't been polluted by the dust.
So it came out... Ruan Ruan Yunwen looked at the Treasure-Hunting Ghost that had suddenly appeared in the high sky, feeling vaguely that something was wrong, but she didn't have time to think and shouted quickly:
"Now, Wind Blade!"
The Stun-Owl flapped its wings, and dozens of sharp blades condensed from wind surged like a tide, attacking the direction where Little Xiao Xunbao was, one after another.
The power of a Wind Blade unleashed by a high-tier pet beast was simply worlds apart compared to an intermediate-tier one.
Dozens of wind blades carried a shrill whistling sound, and even many people in the audience heard it; the power within was imaginable.
At this moment, many people in the audience were already prepared to welcome the end of this match.
However, the scene they imagined of the Treasure-Hunting Ghost being hit and falling to the ground did not happen.
All the wind blades missed.
Several wind blades landed on the ground, emitting muffled explosions, accompanied by stones splashing everywhere.
One could feel that, just based on this lethality, if it had really landed on the Treasure-Hunting Ghost, the outcome of the match would have been decided directly.
Ruan Ruan Yunwen stared blankly at the Treasure-Hunting Ghost that had suddenly appeared before her eyes, her brain unable to process it for a moment; her expression, which had been calm from start to finish, froze instantly, and she was stunned on the spot.
Who could tell her why the Treasure-Hunting Ghost was in the high sky a second ago, and appeared on the field in front of her the next second?!
How come it looks like teleportation?!
It wasn't written in the intelligence report!
Unlike the qualifying rounds where almost the entire audience was from Hongrao Town, the audience watching the match now had a sufficient understanding of pet beasts, and many people guessed at a glance that what the Treasure-Hunting Ghost had used was Teleportation.
It's just that some people dared to guess, while others didn't.
"Holy crap! How can this Treasure-Hunting Ghost teleport?!"
"Hiss... it's Teleportation, right? I remember Ghost-type pet beasts don't have similar skills."
"If I'm not mistaken, this Treasure-Hunting Ghost should also have the Psychic-type attribute."
"Ghost-type plus Psychic-type... how much money would it take to buy one..."
"It's a pity, it was assigned to an opponent with a high-tier pet beast; otherwise, just relying on this Treasure-Hunting Ghost, it could probably have reached the top few."
"Although this Treasure-Hunting Ghost's attributes are heaven-defying, it's ultimately too fragile. If it gets hit by the Stun-Owl once, it'll probably faint."
In mid-air, the Stun-Owl turned its head to look at Little Xiao Xunbao, its eyes gradually becoming sharp, and its wing flapping became a bit impatient.
It wanted to attack again immediately, but it glanced at its Beast Tamer and, seeing that she didn't say anything, it restrained itself.
Qiao Sang watched the Stun-Owl flapping its wings wildly, her thoughts racing.
This Stun-Owl seemed indeed willing to cooperate with its Beast Tamer, but Ruan Ruan Yunwen's rapport with it still didn't seem tacit enough...
Qiao Sang gave Little Xiao Xunbao a look, signaling it to pay attention to the ground.
At this moment, Little Xiao Xunbao was still vigilantly staring at the Stun-Owl, but the moment Qiao Sang gave the look, it seemed to look over as if by telepathy.
"Xun~"
Receiving the look, Little Xiao Xunbao understood instantly. It raised its short toe, and its eyes glowed blue.
The next second, a large amount of dust rolled toward the Stun-Owl's direction.
Ruan Ruan Yunwen was inwardly astonished when the Treasure-Hunting Ghost used Teleport, and she didn't dare to be certain, but when she saw the sand being controlled, she finally confirmed it:
This damn thing is a perverted pet beast that combines Ghost-type and Psychic-type!
"Gale!"
Ruan Ruan Yunwen took a deep breath, quickly stabilized her mindset, and shouted.
"Stun-Owl!"
The Stun-Owl flapped its wings hard, and a gale blew up. The dust and sand controlled by telekinesis collapsed in an instant and changed direction.
Qiao Sang gave Little Xiao Xunbao a look toward the Stun-Owl's location.
"Xun~"
Little Xiao Xunbao understood the meaning and disappeared from where it was.
Ruan Ruan Yunwen's expression sank, and she quickly looked in all directions on the field.
"Stun-Owl!"
She had only just scanned it roughly when she heard the Stun-Owl's angry voice.
Ruan Ruan Yunwen looked up subconsciously, then froze.
She saw that the Treasure-Hunting Ghost had actually appeared on the Stun-Owl's head!
A fragile Ghost-type pet beast engaging in close combat? Ruan Ruan Yunwen couldn't figure out what her opponent, who was two years younger than her, was thinking for a moment.
"Stun-Owl!"
The Stun-Owl shook its head desperately, trying to shake off the hateful guy on its head.
Compared to the Stun-Owl, Ruan Ruan Yunwen appeared somewhat calm.
She quickly had a countermeasure in her mind.
"Flip Flight!"
Flip Flight is not a skill, but a flight technique that allows one to hover, turn, or do a somersault in the high sky and continue flying.
"Stun-Owl!"
The Stun-Owl originally wanted to just use Brave Bird to make the guy on it hit the ground, but hearing its Beast Tamer's words, it flew sideways in the air.
Just when the Stun-Owl was about to flip, it felt a lightness on its body.
"Stun-Owl..."
The Stun-Owl was stunned for a moment, then turned its head with a feeling.
It saw that hateful guy making a "please" gesture, looking like it was watching a performance.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Xiao Xunbao felt that this wasn't enough, so it raised the middle short toe of its left claw with a provocative expression, and then its right claw showed a feather it had just pulled from the Stun-Owl.
"Stun-Owl!"
The Stun-Owl was so angry that all the feathers on its body stood up, and without a word, it charged straight at Little Xiao Xunbao. At the same time, a cyan light enveloped its body.
Ruan Ruan Yunwen's heart skipped a beat; the Stun-Owl's current state reminded her of the past.
"Big Stun! Calm down quickly!" Ruan Ruan Yunwen shouted loudly.
However, the Stun-Owl couldn't hear a word and crazily launched an attack on Little Xiao Xunbao.
It seems I guessed right. Ruan Ruan Yunwen indeed still has certain problems with the Stun-Owl. As long as I provoke the Stun-Owl's anger and make it doubt Ruan Ruan Yunwen's command ability, then a high-tier pet beast that acts according to its own will and is full of flaws won't be that hard to deal with. I'm really damn witty... Qiao Sang looked up at the high sky, feeling that Little Xiao Xunbao's chance of winning was still very high.
As long as it isn't hit...
However, the Tonghua Owl couldn't hear a word of what was being said and frantically launched attacks at the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost.
It seems I guessed right; there really is still a problem between Ruan Ruan Yunwen and the Tonghua Owl. As long as I provoke the Tonghua Owl's anger and make it doubt Ruan Ruan Yunwen's command ability, then a high-tier pet beast that acts according to its own whims and is full of openings won't be so hard to deal with. I'm really damn witty... Qiao Sang looked up at the high sky, feeling that the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's chances of winning were still very high.
As long as it doesn't get hit...
