Chapter 605: It was to say goodbye

Could this place be Steelbao's old home...? At this thought, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and a flame of hope surged within her.

However, before she could verify her thoughts, the circling Little Steel Falcons, without a word, synchronized their movements and flapped their wings with all their might in perfect unison.

A sky full of blades condensed from air was instantly unleashed downward.

Qiao Sang's pupils shrank, and she shouted loudly:

"Counterattack with a protective shield!"

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao opened its mouth, and swirling flames instantly erupted from within.

Immediately after, its eyes glowed with blue light.

Under the control of telekinesis, the flames suddenly changed direction, swirling upward, and the range gradually narrowed from large to small, protecting Qiao Sang, Lubao, and the others in a 360-degree, dead-angle-free perimeter with itself at the center.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The continuous collision of air blades and flames produced thunderous sounds like grenades.

A wild pet beast habitat is truly not a place for ordinary people to enter; it's too dangerous... If not for Little Xunbao's space movement, I would definitely have met my end here... To be safe, it's better to leave first, and come back once Like Ya Bao evolves into a General-tier pet beast... Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiao Sang pondered her situation and immediately decided that leaving was the best course of action.

"Steel! Steel!"

However, just as she was about to tell Little Xunbao to use space movement, Steelbao, beside her, called out excitedly, indicating that this was indeed its home.

Although she had long suspected this, now that the guess was confirmed, Qiao Sang was still stunned for a moment.

The reason was simple: these kin of Steelbao were far more brutal than she had imagined...

"Do they still recognize you?" Qiao Sang asked worriedly.

After all, there were simply too many Little Steel Falcons here; it felt like they wouldn't even notice if one were missing or added.

"Steel! Steel."

Steelbao sensed its Beast Tamer's inner thoughts, called out with a serious expression, and indicated that she shouldn't worry; they definitely recognized it.

"If they recognize you, why did they just launch an attack?" Qiao Sang was quite puzzled.

You were also within the attack range... She didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"Steel! Steel."

Steelbao gave Qiao Sang a complicated look and explained that they were truly aiming their attack at her, and as for itself, in the eyes of its kin, getting injured was just a form of training.

Qiao Sang digested the information and asked hesitantly:

"Wait, if you talk to them, will they spare me for your sake?"

"Steel! Steel."

Steelbao thought for a moment and called out very honestly.

That's hard to say.

Qiao Sang: "..."

There was no need to be that honest; aren't you afraid I'll just have Little Xunbao space-move us all away...

Steelbao's eyes were bright with trust, seemingly not worried at all about the impact of its previous words.

Qiao Sang stared at it for two seconds, then suddenly said helplessly:

"Once this wave of attacks ends, you talk to them. If they still want to attack, I... I'll just hold on. You finish talking quickly, and we'll leave immediately."

"Steel! Steel."

Steelbao's eyes revealed a smile as it called out, indicating it understood.

Qiao Sang felt a strange sense of relief; looking at Steelbao, it didn't seem to have any intention of staying in its old home.

After an unknown amount of time, the explosions outside ceased.

Qiao Sang pricked up her ears, waited for over ten seconds, and after confirming multiple times that there were no more attacks outside, she patted Like Ya Bao's back, signaling it could stop the defense.

Like Ya Bao understood its Beast Tamer's intent, and the blue light in its eyes faded.

At the same time, the flames swirling around them vanished.

But the moment the flames disappeared, the blade-like air attack came again.

Damn it, will this ever end... Qiao Sang shouted loudly: "Little Xunbao!"

"Xun! Xun!"

Little Xunbao understood instantly, its eyes glowing with blue light.

The next second, Qiao Sang, Like Ya Bao, and the others appeared at a higher elevation than the Little Steel Falcons.

Immediately after, Little Xunbao looked at Lubao to prevent it from falling.

The Little Steel Falcons were in a stir, looking at each other, seemingly confused about where their target had gone.

One of the Little Steel Falcons seemed to sense something, abruptly turned its head, and saw Qiao Sang, Like Ya Bao, and the others.

"Steel! Steel!"

It let out a loud cry, then flapped its wings forcefully, and five or six air blades instantly struck out.

Just then, Steelbao flew in front of Qiao Sang, flapped its wings, and an equal number of air blades instantly appeared out of thin air, shooting out to collide with the incoming air blades and blocking them one by one.

The sound of the air blades colliding caused all the Little Steel Falcons to turn their heads.

When the explosion subsided, they saw Steelbao wearing an identity bracelet on its claw.

The Little Steel Falcons immediately became agitated; their expressions varied, with the vast majority showing looks of disappointment.

"Steel! Steel!"

Steelbao flew forward a distance, blocked in front of Like Ya Bao, and called out loudly.

"Steel! Steel!"

"Steel! Steel!"

"Steel! Steel!"

Almost all the Little Steel Falcons called out together, seemingly in response.

Qiao Sang couldn't understand what the other Little Steel Falcons were saying besides Steelbao, but looking at their expressions, she felt it wasn't good.

The tense body of Like Ya Bao beneath her, ready for battle at any moment, confirmed this.

Being stared at by so many Little Steel Falcons, it would be a lie to say there wasn't pressure.

Qiao Sang suddenly felt a bit of admiration for Ashley from back then.

To dare to deceive so many Little Steel Falcons and succeed, she was definitely a talent...

"Steel Armor!"

At this moment, a pet beast about 90 centimeters tall, mostly black with a white belly, striped feathers on its wings, and a body that looked like it was wearing armor, flew forward and called out with a serious expression.

Steel Armor Falcon... Qiao Sang silently recited the species name of the pet beast before her.

She had contracted a Little Steel Falcon, so she had naturally studied its entire evolutionary chain carefully.

Steel Armor Falcon, intermediate pet beast, the evolution of the Little Steel Falcon, covered in iron-like armor that looked heavy but was actually light and thin, not affecting flight. The steel feathers, which became tattered from constant attacks, would grow back once a year, recovering as new and becoming harder year by year.

If Qiao Sang could understand what the Steel Armor Falcon was saying right now, she probably wouldn't be in the mood to analyze its data in her mind.

Because the Steel Armor Falcon meant: break the contract and come back; with us here, you can rest assured and break it.

"Steel! Steel."

Steelbao was silent for a moment, then shook its head.

Qiao Sang didn't know what the other party was saying, but just hearing Steelbao say "no," she saw all the Little Steel Falcons become agitated, and many looked at her with anger, as if they were ready to attack at any moment.

Hey, hey, hey, talk among yourselves, why are you looking at me? I'm just a background character, what more do you want from me... Qiao Sang silently complained.

Should I just have Lubao use Healing Sound Waves to avoid this group of Little Steel Falcons being so agitated...

"Steel Armor?"

Just as Qiao Sang was pondering, the Steel Armor Falcon called out again, asking if it wanted to leave with this human.

All the Little Steel Falcons looked at Steelbao, waiting for its answer.

"Steel! Steel."

Steelbao turned its head to look at Qiao Sang, then turned back, sighed, and its call was helpless yet firm.

It was going to a place called Blue Star in the future, together with its Beast Tamer; this time, it was to say goodbye.

After saying this, Steelbao felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, feeling a sense of relief.

In the panoramic view, that Little Steel Falcon, which looked like the protagonist of a story, stared at by all eyes simultaneously, began to glow with white light.
