Chapter 857: Water Barrier

There aren't many King-rank pet beasts in C-rank secret realms. As long as you aren't particularly unlucky or specifically looking for them, you basically won't encounter them. Plus, with Gangbao scouting ahead, the journey was quite smooth.

Even if wild pet beasts suddenly popped out, they were neatly solved by Like Ya Bao.

After about an hour, the group arrived in front of a giant tree that seemed to go straight into the clouds.

It was so thick that even if dozens of people held hands, they couldn't embrace it.

Yuan Jiewen slowly raised his head, and it wasn't until 90 degrees that he saw the giant tree's crown.

He swallowed his saliva and sighed: "What a big tree..."

"Qu Qu."

The Channel Arrow Frog called out expressionlessly.

"Yaya."

Like Ya Bao translated.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: "You said Liu Bo is right up there?"

The Channel Arrow Frog opened its mouth, looking like it was about to answer, but at this moment, its eyes suddenly became clear.

"Qu Qu!"

The Channel Arrow Frog screamed.

However, in the next second, Little Xunbao's eyes glowed purple and appeared in front of it.

The Channel Arrow Frog calmed down, its eyes becoming dull again.

"Is it not up there?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Qu Qu."

The Channel Arrow Frog nodded.

Is there sewage inside this tree? Don't understand, but it feels very dangerous... Qiao Sang became quietly vigilant, preparing to walk around the giant tree.

Just as she had walked two steps, a rustling movement came from above.

Before Qiao Sang could look up, a snake-type pet beast nearly five meters long, covered in goose-yellow scales, suddenly descended from above, spitting its tongue at the group.

Qiao Sang and Yuan Jiewen's expressions changed drastically, and they jumped a big step backward.

Teacher Mi Jiala cooperated and retreated together, secretly vigilant in her heart, feeling the difficulty of the matter.

She could sense that there were many pet beast auras nearby, including dozens of General-rank pet beasts, but she wasn't panicked.

Dozens of General-rank pet beasts are still easy to solve; at most, it would just expose their identities.

This trip to the secret realm seems to be able to provide her student with good training, which is the most important thing.

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao bared its teeth and raised its claws.

However, before it could condense flames on its claws, the yellow snake-type pet beast looked at the Channel Arrow Frog on the side, then with a "whoosh," retreated back into the lush tree crown and disappeared without a trace.

"Yaya..."

Like Ya Bao lowered its claws with a confused expression.

"Why didn't it attack us?" Yuan Jiewen asked with a solemn expression while continuing to approach Qiao Sang.

Everything here had never been mentioned on the forum, which made his sense of crisis soar. Only beside the big shot could he feel a little bit of safety.

You ask me, how would I know? I haven't even recognized the race of this pet beast... Qiao Sang complained internally, guessing calmly on the surface:

"Maybe it thought we were people brought by the Channel Arrow Frog, or..."

It felt that it couldn't beat us alone, so it went to call more companions.

Before the second half of the sentence was finished, water-like patterns suddenly appeared on the thick tree trunk in front of them.

Qiao Sang's voice stopped abruptly.

"Big shot, I think you're right, it really seems to think we are people brought by the Channel Arrow Frog..." Looking at the scene in front of him, Yuan Jiewen's expression changed again, uneasy: "But do we really have to go in? Why don't we go tell the examiner who issued this mission that Liu Bo is at this location and let them send someone else?"

Water Barrier, a water-type high-tier skill, uses water as a barrier. If the proficiency reaches the perfect level, the barrier can be hidden... No wonder this tree looked just big before and had nothing to do with sewage. It turns out it set up a barrier and hid the entrance... Qiao Sang recognized the skill on the tree trunk, pondered for a few seconds, and said:

"My mission is to bring Liu Bo back, even if it's a corpse."

The water-ripple barrier was gorgeous and eerie, as if connecting to the abyss.

Yuan Jiewen glanced at the barrier, his internal fear increased, and he subconsciously moved a step backward, saying from his heart:

"How about Lin Shi and I wait outside for you?"

Teacher Mi Jiala glanced at him lightly: "No, I'm going in."

Yuan Jiewen looked over in surprise, thinking to himself, aren't you afraid at all!

He discovered that although this person was weak, she was truly bold!

"Since you don't want to go in, I won't force you. You wait here for us to come back," Qiao Sang said, walking toward the water barrier.

Teacher Mi Jiala followed closely behind.

A gust of wind blew, and the branches and leaves rustled.

Yuan Jiewen felt his heart hair-raising, always feeling that countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.

He hurriedly walked toward the barrier and shouted from his heart again:

"Big shot, wait for me! I was just joking!"

The water barrier swayed like water ripples, and then returned to calm.

Immediately after, the barrier disappeared and turned back into the appearance of a tree trunk.

Subsequently, rustling sounds arose, and pairs of pet beast eyes of different colors were revealed in the layered tree crowns.

They looked at each other and let out mocking laughter.

Qiao Sang's eyes went dark.

In the next moment, a strong sense of weightlessness came, and there was a strong wind in her ears, as well as Little Xunbao's screams.

Qiao Sang's whole body tightened, shouting:

"Like Ya Bao!"

"Ya!"

A call full of safety came, and a fire light flashed.

Then, Qiao Sang felt soft under her, and she sat on Like Ya Bao's back.

Very soon, Like Ya Bao caught Little Xunbao and the others, as well as the big client and the Ningming Frog one by one.

Qiao Sang breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Then she thought of something and couldn't help but look at Little Xunbao, who had a fearful expression, and said speechlessly: "Aren't you able to float?"

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao's action of wiping sweat paused.

Oh yeah...

Qiao Sang: "..."

It was pitch black in front of her. As Like Ya Bao kept running downward, the unbearable stench became more and more intense.

Teacher Mi Jiala silently put on the anti-poison mask she had taken off earlier.

This is too smelly... Qiao Sang covered her mouth and nose, just wanting to speak.

At this time, an "ah..." scream came from behind.

Qiao Sang turned her head to look and saw an orange-yellow star array light up out of thin air.

A bird-type pet beast about four meters in size appeared.

Then, the orange-yellow bird-type pet beast caught two familiar figures.

Qiao Sang turned her head back, because at this time, Like Ya Bao had already stopped on the ground.

She looked at the scene in front of her, covering her mouth and nose, only feeling that her vision and smell had suffered double damage, unable to control the feeling of nausea.

She saw a river with no end in sight flowing in front of her.

This river water was as black as ink, emitting bursts of stench, even more terrifying than the poison gas of ordinary poison-type pet beasts.

Suddenly, Qiao Sang felt some movement and looked in the direction of the sound.

Just one look, and her scalp went numb instantly.

She saw several figures that looked like humans lying by the river, opening their mouths, drinking the river water that looked like ink, as if they couldn't feel the stench at all.

Teacher Mi Jiala looked in the direction of Qiao Sang's gaze, her expression condensed slightly.

"Big shot, finally caught up with you..." Yuan Jiewen said while seeing the scene not far away.

In an instant, his hair stood on end.
