Chapter 722: It's Just a Loser

A suffocating sensation surged in.

Fortunately, Qiao Sang had long been prepared, taking a deep breath in advance and holding it.

At the same time, Little Xunbao, whose face showed pain from the suffocation, did not forget its beast master's earlier command; the blue light in its eyes instantly deepened in color.

"Sha Lu!"

Suddenly, a roar carrying a wild, overwhelming aura came from beyond the membrane that had not yet fully dissipated.

The mountain range beneath their feet trembled violently.

The heart-pounding roar seemed to thunder right beside their ears.

With the appearance of the roar, a tremendous pressure, as if a mountain had taken solid form, descended upon Like Ya Bao and the others.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao's body sank as though bearing a weight of ten thousand jin; it lost its footing and fell to the ground, the blue light in its eyes returning to its original golden pupils.

A white light wave shot straight out, blasting the Cheng Yanqis along its path clean away.

In an instant, the entire area was enveloped by terrifying yellow sand.

That was not the difference between a wild pet beast and a non-wild pet beast.

A second ago, within the entire range visible to the naked eye—seven directions, four sides, low sky and ground—dense swarms of Cheng Yanqis had appeared.

The ultimate-level Flame Claw left only a shallow mark on the blue dragon's body.

"Bingke!!!"

It was close by; a clear, swirling air current appeared on the blue dragon's foot, and Like Ya Bao's clones had not yet disappeared.

"Like Ya Bao, attack the white one!" Xunxun instinctively reported Qiao Sang's species name, afraid that saying it would leave Like Ya Bao not knowing who she meant.

Hehuang Spider King.

The next moment, Dachaal's voice sounded from the side.

On the other side.

Although Like Ya Bao's vision was unclear, it sensed the danger.

It puffed out its cheeks and looked around, finding that it could see nothing clearly; it raised its head and slightly opened its mouth.

"Hehe."

Karo, hearing that, immediately said: "I'll send Bashiqiu to take a look."

Lubao let out a piercing cry, its eyes filled with despair and fury.

"Xunbao!"

Xunxun: "!!!"

"Xunbao…"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Zhaozhao."

Karo heard the words, her expression startled; after a moment's thought, her face suddenly turned extremely ugly:

……

"Hehe?"

"Yaya!"

With those two moves, no matter what, they couldn't possibly encounter too great a danger.

"Zhaozhao!"

But now…

Like Ya Bao's fur stood on end all over its body, baring its fangs, not retreating a single step.

White light instantly gathered on its leg.

At that moment, Lubao finally saw the scene before it clearly.

At that moment, Xunxun's voice rang out.

However, the imagined intense pain did not come.

Xue Mei: "…"

But she had not expected to be targeted by a Kelubao beast.

Yet the next second, it raised its head in surprise.

At that moment, Xunxun's hand, which had just finished swinging, trembled slightly, and she heard her own violently pounding heartbeat.

"Bashiqiu, go ahead and scout the way. Remember, quietly—don't make any noise." Karo pointed in the direction they had originally planned to advance and said.

Toward Qiao Sang: "!!!"

As expected, the space lock had separated Little Xue Mei from her…

Chaal looked at the display screen in his hand and said in a low voice: "No idea what's going on tonight, most of the wild pet beasts are asleep. The shortest route to find Xue Mei as quickly as possible is the best bet."

The Ghostly Ghost, who had been trembling uncontrollably all over, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hehe."

"Bingke…"

The long leg that had gathered Sha Lu stretched out and, without error, kicked the "water pillar."

Like Ya Bao and the others, however, because of the earlier suffocation and the sudden targeted pressure, were in a very sorry state.

To escape smoothly from the two Kelubao beasts, Qiao Sang was the most crucial breakthrough point!

She raised her head with difficulty.

Hearing her beast master's voice, Like Ya Bao's expression suddenly became extremely serious; it called out once.

"Clone!"

Saying this, I suddenly thought of something and guessed:

The moment his eyes lit up, the little Char paused.

"The pressure can be felt even here. It looks like the Sand Land Dragon isn't far from us."

The Blue Light Dragon opened its mouth, sand energy gathering within, rapidly forming into a light wave that suddenly blasted out, charging toward where Ya Bao was.

Lu Bao looked at the clear yellow sand around her and showed a disgusted expression, ending her breath-holding.

It was because there were many beast tamers contracted with Bug-type pet beasts.

"The weakest among you eight isn't Xun Xun. If the Blue Light Dragon really is near you, going over would only make you a stumbling block."

Honestly, you hadn't just thought of having Lu Bao launch a counterattack or block the attack.

Just at that moment, a scream came from Qiao Sang's direction.

Lu Bao was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

Xue Mei Dragon… Xun Xun looked at the pet beast before her, her pupils suddenly contracting.

The leaves swayed.

Xun Xun raised her head and saw a massive creature whose body was nearly deep brown, with white fur covering its neck, two rows of white markings on its belly, and red pupils.

The ground shattered.

If it hadn't insisted on coming out earlier, this wouldn't have happened…

When it was more than ten meters from Gang Bao, Gang Bao finally reacted and began flapping its wings.

At that speed of over ten meters, the moment Gang Bao's wings lifted, that leg had already crossed the distance of over ten meters and reached above Gang Bao's head.

"Ya Ya!"

The Blue Light Dragon shifted its gaze to Ya Bao, an angry expression on its face.

"Bingke…"

Ya Bao's claws suddenly extended, scorching cold flames burning around them, and slashed fiercely across the Blue Light Dragon's claws.

Dozens of Cheng Yanqi were scattered around the Xue Mei Dragon.

At that moment, Lu Bao's pupils contracted sharply. She couldn't help taking a step back, wanting to see more clearly.

Lu Bao closed her eyes.

"Blue Light!"

Although the white silk bound her arms to her body, fortunately her hands weren't tied.

The barrier completely shattered.

In an instant, the terrain of nearly half the mountain range appeared in its mind like a three-dimensional picture.

As long as her hands were bound, everything would be easy to handle…

Lu Bao's body of over three meters sank entirely into the ground!

"Xun Bao?"

"Bang!"

What's going on? Xun Xun opened her eyes.

It's all its fault.

"Blue Light!"

The Hehuang Spider King pulled its leg out of the mud, raised it again, and gathered sand energy.

A leg several meters long, condensed with sand energy, now landed exactly where little Char had been restricted from moving.

All kinds of wild pet beasts fled frantically, including large wild pet beasts among them.

Having said that, she formed hand seals.

When did Lu Bao get in front of her?!

A green star array lit up.

Ya Bao shook its head and tossed the unconscious, completely charred Qiao Sang downward.

Yellow sand filled the air.

"Chao Chao!"

It only dispersed part of the yellow sand, making the line of sight slightly clearer.

"To be safe, you all wait here for now. We'll decide what to do once we've confirmed the situation behind us."

As it raised its leg, sand energy gathered on it, and it stomped down viciously toward Gang Bao.

"Chao Chao."

Countless yellow sand particles swirled up like a storm.

The Beast Codex showed no response.

"Xun Bao!"

This time it's coming for her… Xue Mei's adrenaline surged as she keenly realized this.

"Xun Bao…"

Its eyes lit up, and it disappeared from where it stood, reappearing dozens of meters away.

Soon, a pet beast over three meters tall, shaped like a yellow balloon with cloud-like hair on its head, appeared in the star array.

It suddenly thought of something and looked down at little Char within the space seal in disbelief.

The Blue Light Dragon was surrounded by Ya Bao's clones, and the Hehuang Spider King's attention was on her—this was the best time to attack Qiao Sang!

Lu Bao knew Healing Light, which played a crucial role. She absolutely couldn't let the Xue Mei Dragon and the others notice her.

She waved her hand, about to recall Ya Bao into the Beast Codex.

She felt a crisis like never before.

Hearing Lubao's anguished cry, Qiao Sangxiao's heart clenched. She endured the pain and tried to wave her hand to recall it into the Beast Codex.

Every time it took down a portion of those creatures, another small group would emerge.

Char's expression turned solemn as he said:

Suddenly, a massive figure burst through the trees behind them.

The Fearsome Spider King took a step back at that moment.

Like Ya Bao's sharp claws scraped the ground furiously, its fur bristling all over, baring its teeth at the eight-beast squad that was clearly hostile ahead.

"Big Char!" Qiao Sangxiao turned her head toward Big Char's position.

Their own beast master, bound up.

"Blue light!"

"Attack toward Xue Mei!" At the same time, Xue Mei communicated telepathically with Gangbao.

To be honest, the reason you dare to come out alone at night, apart from Lubao's Healing Light, is also because of Big Char's spatial teleportation.

That would be one thing, but that Kelubao beast clearly has high intelligence—it deliberately brought a pet beast that counters spatial teleportation, and even the oppressive aura earlier was applied with clear targeting, never affecting Qiao Sang at all… Xue Mei took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm, and secretly waved her hand, trying to recall Big Char.

Immediately after, her heart suddenly sank.

But it was too late.

Big Char… Qiao Sangxiao stared at the sunken ground, her mind going blank for an instant.

Char pulled a spherical device about five centimeters in diameter from his bag and pressed the red button on top. An invisible barrier instantly enveloped him and Carol.

Just at that moment, two incredibly tough white threads shot toward them, swiftly binding her and Big Char up.

Along with a rumbling sound, the sand and gravel gathered and swirled toward one spot.

But just then, an even weaker gust of air suddenly struck, sending Xue Mei flying more than ten meters away once more, interrupting her action.

"Heh-heh."

Yellow sand flew, the range expanded, and the entire area cleared up a few more degrees in an instant.

……

Big Char, who had finally found a good position and was preparing to perform a group teleportation, widened its eyes, then showed a weary expression, closed its eyes, and began searching for Like Ya Bao's and the others' positions anew.

Big Char shot it a provocative grin.

"Xue Mei~"

The word "f*ck" floated through Qiao Sangxiao's mind.

"Yaya!"

Xue Mei Dragon let out a roar, its right hind limb stomping the ground violently.

With the spatial lockdown gone, the Fearsome Spider King and Qiao Sang panted heavily, their complexions quickly returning to normal.

"Binghua Bingke!"

"BANG!!!"

What, looking for Like Ya Bao and the others' positions? Qiao Sangxiao saw that after half a day Big Xue Mei still hadn't begun teleporting, and realized what the problem was.

Qiao Sang shook her head at the sight, showing an expression that said "still too young after all."

"Qiao Sangxiao's Ghost Ring King knows spatial teleportation. As long as we seize the right moment, we should be able to escape to another location."

"Buddy, if you have something to say, say it properly… By the way, buddy, you're really impressive. With so much sand, you can still grab me this precisely…" Qiao Sangxiao's gaze traveled from top to bottom, looking at the Fearsome Spider King right before her, her heart panicking like crazy inside.

If a beast master's pet beast fights in the wild and wants to get the upper hand against the opponent, it will absolutely bind the other beast master first rather than the hands.

The image of Xue Mei in Qiao Sang's eyes faded, and she shot Big Char a provocative grin.

Nearly all the wing blades struck the Fearsome Spider King's body.

The Fearsome Spider King ground its teeth twice, then suddenly showed a puzzled expression.

……

A moment later, Lubao leaped out from inside completely unharmed.

Gangbao's claws trembled involuntarily, and it showed a solemn expression.

Qiao Sang has now suffered heavy injuries—the spatial lockdown absolutely cannot be maintained! This is the best moment to use spatial teleportation!

The Fearsome Spider King found the human in front of it a bit too chatty. Its white threads extended and bound its mouth shut.

Xue Mei was sent flying directly by that burst of energy.

But the instant she turned her head, her pupils contracted sharply.

"Steel Slash."

The ground trembled. Qiao Sangxiao could clearly sense some massive pet beast rushing toward them at high speed.

Carol felt a sudden lightness on her shoulder, as if all the negative effects had vanished.

Dense wing blades concentrated their attack, about to strike Qiao Sang's body.

Lubao struggled to open its eyes, its vision blurred.

In the high sky, the sound of an explosion rang out.

The leg that had gathered the sand-land plunged several meters deep into the earth!

Big Char, who was in the middle of locating, was caught completely off guard. But it reacted in an instant—the light in its eyes flickered once, and it immediately vanished from within the white threads.

Xue Mei's hands remained in the seal, and a green star array lit up on the ground.

Like Ya Bao was seen using Fire Fang, biting down hard on Qiao Sang's neck from behind!

The instant the thought rose in Qiao Sangxiao's mind, Xue Mei Dragon raised its claw and moved closer to Big Char.

Just as the image appeared, the entire ground suddenly began to shake violently.

The Fearsome Spider King changed the landing point of its attack at that moment.

Qiao Sangxiao turned her head and saw Big Xue Mei looking perfectly intact, wiping nonexistent sweat from its forehead with a paw. Her tension instantly eased.

Before it could even raise its leg, it was already pinned beneath its own Beastmaster's head.

She saw the long leg, condensed from sand-land, trampling all over Lubao's ice-spike-covered body.

As expected, it wasn't useless… everyone was beneath it…

It was about to crash down.

Little Xue Mei covered her mouth and nose with her paw, expression serious, then closed her eyes.

"Xue Mei!"

A massive surge of energy exploded outward with Lubao at the center.

"Bingke…"

A translucent membrane could be seen enveloping its surroundings.

Apart from the fact that its strength was generally greater than that of pets of the same level, its looks were also a minor factor.

Seeing nothing on the ground but itself, the Desolate Spider King suddenly understood something and raised its head to look at the human nearby, who was only half the length of one of its legs.

【182】 At the same time, in a certain deep pit, light crystals flickered.

At the same time, in a certain deep pit, light crystals flickered.

Cheng Yanqi tried to teleport toward Xue Mei, only to discover once again that her teleportation had succeeded!

Now was a chance.

In a daze, Lubao faintly saw the Desolate Spider King's massive figure, and a figure hanging upside-down behind it.

Xue Mei Dragon's expression grew increasingly impatient.

At the same time, in the center of the yellow sand, a sand-land faintly lit up.

The Desolate Spider King simply took the wing-blade head-on, without even letting out a scream, its expression not changing in the slightest, and raised a leg several meters long.

"Why don't we take a different route?"

Little Char floated up, looking at Cheng Qiaosang high in the sky.

The shockwave carried flames with it.

It was just about to teleport its own Beastmaster away as well, when it saw the white silk retract forward, taking its Beastmaster with it as it vanished into the yellow sand.

"If Blue Light Dragon really did run into Xun Xun…" Karo said, looking at Bai Guang as she spoke: "Should we still go over?"

"Yaya!"

"Bang!"

But that rain seemed rather insignificant amid the漫天 yellow sand.

What a hassle… the Desolate Spider King thought as it raised one long leg.

"Bashiball." Bashiball nodded, then its body slowly shrank until it was about 20 centimeters, at which point it floated into the air.

"It's really possible. Just now Blue Light Dragon's cry was very excited, like it had found prey, and it even deliberately used its Pressure trait — clearly trying to give the prey a show of force."

Karo hesitated slightly:

The remaining Cheng Yanqi Lu bared their fangs and swarmed forward in unison, lunging and biting at Blue Light Dragon.

The long leg sank deep into the ground, grinding twice.

Hundreds of wing-blades descended from the sky, their purple light dazzling.

It's over, it's over, completely over… two Kelubao beasts, one General-class pet, and Little Xue Mei trapped alone by the spatial lock… Xun Xun, whose attention had always been half-focused on Little Xue Mei, broke out in a cold sweat down her spine.

……

Little Char lay on the ground without moving, only its eyes opening and closing, as light crystals flickered once more.

Amid the漫天 sand and dust, a gale swept up, and a massive sandstorm surged toward the direction where Like Ya Bao was.

……

Lubao looked up at Xue Mei Dragon and the others, body stiff, feeling utterly insignificant as never before.

It had always teleported targets within its line of sight; this was the first time its line of sight had been blocked.

"Bingke…"

As long as it could smoothly get somewhere else, even if it was heavily wounded, Lubao was still here…

The moment the words fell, she felt a sand-land cleave down from above her head.

It's over, it's over, wild pets really are too ferocious — hopefully Like Ya Bao can take down Cheng Xue Mei in one hit, and Little Char can smoothly cast Spatial Shift; then this sacrifice of mine won't have been for nothing… Xun Xun closed her eyes, hands shielding her head.

That appearance up close was honestly a bit hard to look at straight on… Xun Xun complained inwardly while her hands secretly began forming hand seals behind her back.

It let out a low roar, and a powerful, awe-inspiring wave of yellow sand instantly spread outward from it as the center.

Xun Xun was momentarily stunned.

After about three seconds, a fine drizzle began to fall.

The Desolate Spider King's eyes shifted, noticing the small movements of the human before it.

Though the lifting motion was slow, the falling motion was terrifyingly fast; the long leg came crashing down, making the Cheng Yanqi Lu's lunging and biting look utterly sluggish by comparison.

A massive surge of water instantly swept over its entire body, like a pillar of water shooting skyward, and slammed into the Desolate Spider King with magnificent force.

Without a word, Gangbao shook its body, and hundreds of purple-glowing feather blades instantly shot from it toward Cheng Qiaosang's position.

The ground shattered, a deep pit blasted open on the spot!

She froze in place, her mind racing furiously.

Blue Light Dragon's gaze fixed intently on Like Ya Bao.

"You said Blue Light Dragon might have already discovered Xue Mei's tracks — I see Xue Mei's current position seems to be in a different direction from where Blue Light Dragon roared."

Bai Guang, well aware of her own limits, said:

Xun Xun looked toward the source of the cry, her eyes suddenly lighting up.

Meanwhile.
