Could it be that she was already ten kilometers away from Qingqingni?

Was it that fast?

Qiao Sang was a bit unable to figure out the situation for a moment.

If Gangbao had been unable to catch up with Qingqingni, it might have been a step late.

But for that step to exceed ten kilometers because of a moment's delay was a bit unbelievable.

Even though Qingqingni was still only a beginner-level pet beast...

Like Ya Bao's body size slowly grew larger, and it teleported to its Beast Tamer's side.

"Xunxun!"

At this time, the Little Treasure Hunter floated to the side, looked down at the Breeze Compass, and screamed in surprise.

Why wasn't the Compass moving?

"Kongkong."

"Electric Tail!"

From entering the No. 16 Secret Realm until now, this was the first time she had moved on the ground.

Yet it had taken so much time and still hadn't caught up; during this period, the Little Treasure Hunter had even used space movement twice before the Breeze Xunxun started rotating again.

"How do you say that?" The man wearing a green windbreaker became interested.

Imperial-level Qingqing?

Long-term searching had already let the Little Treasure Hunter know that this Breeze Compass was a tool for finding Qingqingni.

"Go down and take a look."

"I think Zhicheng's words make sense; that person's apparent age clearly doesn't match their strength; such people are the most terrifying. I would rather encounter those who look very old."

"We can only move quickly over a large range like before and see if we can make Qingqingni appear within the Breeze Compass's sensing range."

"How is that possible?" The short-haired woman rolled her eyes at him: "That's an Ice Snow Bird."

"In such a short time, it's not certain whether we can find the Ice Snow Bird; it's absolutely impossible for her to have already successfully obtained the Ice Snow Bird's feathers and appeared in this position."

The man in the duck-billed cap said in a deep voice: "I actually think there's a high probability that the young woman we just saw has the Breeze Compass on her."

The Wind-Chasing Lion stopped abruptly.

Her courage was too great! She actually set her sights on the feathers of an Imperial-level pet beast... The Compass saw this, her mouth twitched, and she carefully moved her feet, preparing to return the way she came.

To tell the truth, being unable to catch up with Qingqingni for two hours, plus the few minutes of delay that made Qingqingni ten kilometers away from her, had stimulated her a bit.

"Qiao Sang!"

At this moment, the Compass also felt her heart skip a beat.

The Wind-Chasing Lion, it's that guy again... The Compass revealed a speechless expression.

"To tell the truth, even if she has the Breeze Compass, so what? With her strength to pluck the Ice Snow Bird's feathers, I don't think we can snatch the Breeze Compass from her hands."

Once is enough.

On the ground, rows of sharp spikes shot out over a large area, attempting to pierce into the lion-type pet beast's body.

The next second, that ethereal and childish voice rang out:

"Didn't you say you didn't see the Breeze Compass on her?" The short-haired woman asked.

Like Ya Bao looked at the surrounding environment, then looked at Gangbao who was flying, called out, and indicated whether it should take over?

Hearing this, the short-haired woman and the man wearing the green windbreaker became thoughtful.

Not only was Qingqingni small in size, but it could also turn into wind and disappear; if they relied purely on Gangbao or Like Ya Bao's normal flight speed, even with the Breeze Compass, it would be difficult to catch up with Qingqingni's pace even if they spent a month in the secret realm.

No wonder it was so smooth coming all the way here just now, and they hadn't encountered many wild pet beasts; it turned out this was the Imperial Qingqing's territory!

The Electric Tail Bug was still shivering.

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said:

After performing space movement twice in a row, she saw the three rings and the middle needle, which had been motionless before, start rotating again.

"Electric Tail..."

Eight or nine seconds later, the Compass and Gangbao disappeared into the air.

"Fengfeng."

Rows of sharp spikes drilled out from the ground.

Following that, the Wind-Chasing Lion stomped its four limbs downward with force.

Being able to traverse more than half of the secret realm so safely and quickly mainly relied on the Little Treasure Hunter's space movement.

"Qiao Sang..."

"Don't be afraid, it's alright now." The Compass comforted it.

"A Beast Tamer who is not from the Central Region but possesses the No. 16 Secret Realm key and came here; besides looking for Qingqingni, I can't think of any other reason."

"Fengfeng."

"So her identity is definitely not simple, and there's a high probability she's not from our Central Region either."

Had she already arrived at the Imperial Qingqing's territory?!

When it drifted with the wind, it didn't have a true form; even if it passed by, the Breeze Compass would have movement, but she would be surprised for a second or two, and with Qingqingni's speed, it might have already pulled away to a super long distance in that short second or two.

"You have to know that we used space movement continuously based on Zhicheng's positioning to arrive here in such a short time."

Someone was shouting for help.

Gangbao didn't say a word and flapped its wings to leave.

The Little Treasure Hunter heard this and floated around happily.

"Help! Help!"

The Wind-Chasing Lion nodded fiercely.

The gravel ground suddenly exploded, and several brown pet beasts made of rock were suddenly shaken out from underground.

"That means Qingqingni is no longer within the Compass's sensing range."

"Ya!"

No wonder the No. 16 Secret Realm had been opened for thirty years and another thirty years, and there were 32 Breeze Compasses, yet the number of Beast Tamers who had successfully found and contracted Qingqingni was few and far between.

"The reason we appeared in the Ice Snow Bird's territory earlier was because we confirmed through intelligence beforehand that someone had seen traces of Qingqingni in that direction 30 years ago; the person just now appeared there and said they wanted the Ice Snow Bird's feathers."

She tried her best to slow her breathing and spoke carefully:

Taking advantage of the gap while the Little Treasure Hunter sensed whether the coordinates were safe, the Compass picked up the Breeze Compass to check for movement.

The Little Treasure Hunter revealed a "watch me" expression, its eyes glowing blue.

The Compass's eyes lit up, and she shouted:

The man heard the movement and looked up in surprise; when he saw the figure in the high sky, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

Qiao Sang put down the Compass, suppressed her surging emotions in her heart, and explained:

Like Ya Bao was bored for a while and began to close its eyes to meditate.

At the same time, a layer of translucent light appeared all over its body.

To tell the truth, she now felt that encountering Qingqingni earlier was really a stroke of luck.

It's too intense; even in the secret realm, it doesn't forget to take time to train... The Compass saw this, felt a slight touch in her heart, withdrew her gaze from Like Ya Bao, and continued to observe the direction of the Breeze Compass.

The man wearing the green windbreaker nodded and said:

Gangbao flapped its wings, changed direction, and flew downward.

Just as Gangbao was leaving, the man's expression turned ugly as he issued a command: "Harden."

Lubao understood, and the gem on its forehead shone with dark blue light, illuminating the Electric Tail Bug's body.

She saw a familiar scene reappear: both the three rings and the three needles were rotating crazily at 360 degrees.

The Little Treasure Hunter paused.

The Compass then thought of something and exhorted:

"She is not simple, but it's not necessarily what you think; I've had close contact with her, and she looks very young, like a minor, but with her strength, she is definitely not a minor; she's probably some old monster, and that pet beast that performs space movement for her is a Ghost-type."

A cat-type pet beast about 70 centimeters tall with a body mainly white appeared out of thin air, called out, and indicated that it hadn't seen the Breeze Compass this time either.

She paused and continued in a grave tone:

"Qiao Sang~"

The Compass secretly gave the Little Treasure Hunter a wink: Run quickly!

The Imperial Qingqing closed its eyes again, seemingly indifferent to the intruders from just now.

Like Ya Bao suddenly called out, indicating that the Electric Tail Bug had fainted.

The Little Treasure Hunter performed space movement cautiously.

"There are still many people entering this secret realm; we don't need to stare at one person."

Thinking about this, Like Ya Bao suddenly opened its eyes, looked downward, and called out with a serious expression.

Deep in the northwest direction, on a cliff, lived an Imperial-level Qingqing.

On the lion-type pet beast, the man screamed for help in agony.

The Imperial Qingqing slowly opened its eyes, revealing its cold red eyes.

In the dense forest, a cyan lion-type pet beast with white strip-like spirit patterns on its body was fleeing crazily.

Several pet beasts made of rock landed with miserable cries.

Li Zhicheng held a dissenting view:

Taking advantage of the gale, a breeze drifted toward the dense forest.

"No need." The Compass didn't want to waste any more time and said tactfully: "Lubao already gave Gangbao a shot of Healing Light just now."

The next second, the Compass and Like Ya Bao disappeared from where they were.

It pulled at the Compass's clothes for the first time, hid behind her in fear, and carefully looked at the surrounding scenery.

On the mountainside.

The Little Treasure Hunter quickly put away its thoughts, its eyes glowing blue.

It scared me to death; I didn't expect to encounter one of the only two Imperial-level pet beasts in this secret realm...

"Besides, she isn't holding the Breeze Compass in her hand; even if she's looking for Qingqingni, it's impossible that she's looking based on the Breeze Compass."

"Qingqing?"

The Wind-Chasing Lion called out, and dozens of messy but orderly wind blades appeared out of thin air, cutting through the bodies of the pet beasts made of rock.

"Wait until the coordinates are confirmed safe before moving."

And on the cliff, a bird-type pet beast with a huge body size, lying quietly with its eyes closed, its body composed of white-brown and a little cyan, with cyan strip-like skin from its head to its neck and back, a tuft of sharp white feathers on its neck, and a long brown tail.

He had been persuaded.

With a "crack" sound, the sharp spikes didn't pierce into the Wind-Chasing Lion's body but broke upon impact.

In just one day, she had deeply realized the vastness of the No. 16 Secret Realm.

However, the Little Treasure Hunter was looking at the feathers on the Imperial Qingqing's body with shining eyes, looking eager to try, and didn't feel her gaze.

At this time, the Electric Tail Bug, which had been sleeping soundly all the way, opened its eyes in a daze.

The Imperial Qingqing seemed not to feel it and still kept its eyes closed.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Little Treasure Hunter immediately looked at Gangbao and sighed.

"Rustle..."

"I'm not doing this job anymore." The man flipped off the Wind-Chasing Lion and said dissatisfiedly: "There are only so many Breeze Compasses, and the No. 16 Secret Realm is so big; how could it be so easy for us to encounter someone carrying a Breeze Compass."

The gale around it suddenly howled even more.

"Steel Sword?"

It was clearly so bold when it encountered her earlier... Speaking of which, she had just walked in the direction pointed by the Breeze Compass; Qingqingni wouldn't be next to the Imperial Qingqing, would it? How was she supposed to handle this... The Compass looked around, her heart once again preoccupied with Qingqingni's affairs, and she picked up the Breeze Compass.

If it weren't for luck being so good that it broke through the sky, how could such a wind-like Qingqingni appear in front of her.

"No need to move! The Breeze Compass already has movement; let's proceed according to this direction!"

"Think about it, a Ghost-type pet beast that knows the Psychic-type pet beast's space movement; can a Beast Tamer who possesses such a pet beast be simple?"

"Run quickly!" The Compass didn't have time to think much and shouted loudly.

"Ice Emperor."

Immediately, she thought of something and put the Breeze Compass into her pocket.

"Xunxun..."

"Why is it this guy again? Didn't she say she was going to find the Ice Snow Bird? Could it be that she has already obtained the Ice Snow Bird's feathers?" The man who was originally wearing a white down jacket had already taken off his coat and changed into a green windbreaker.

Gangbao's body was huge, and the sound of its wings flapping could cause quite a commotion within a certain range.

After the dark blue light dissipated, the Electric Tail Bug sobered up.

"Let's go." The Compass looked at him faintly and patted Gangbao's back.

Watching Qingqingni disappear before her eyes, from deciding to contract it to chasing it, it had only been a few minutes.

Gangbao called out calmly, indicating what to do next?

The Compass's pupils shrank, and a post message appeared in her mind:

In a dense forest where sunlight could hardly penetrate, Gangbao flapped its wings and descended from the high sky.

"Yaya..."

"Electric Tail!!!"

"Compass!"

Gangbao called out, flapped its wings with force, and also accelerated its speed to move forward.

The short-haired woman said slowly:

The man in the duck-billed cap stopped talking.

The three rings rotated according to the rules; it seemed Qingqingni should be in a state of not moving right now. This gale was very similar to the wind that suddenly blew when Qingqingni took a photo with her; thinking that Qingqingni's elder was here, she shouldn't have found the wrong place... The Compass flipped off Gangbao's back, looked at the Breeze Compass, and moved forward carefully according to the position pointed by its middle needle.

A cliff?

It was actually scared unconscious directly... The Compass looked at the Electric Tail Bug and called out: "Lubao."

"Qingqingni?"

The man in the duck-billed cap pondered for a moment and expressed his thoughts:

This dense forest was currently experiencing a gale, and ancient trees reaching the sky were shaking their branches wildly in the wind.

"Steel Sword."

"I think she must be moving with a purpose; families that can possess Breeze Compasses are not simple, and her few pet beasts are not pet beasts from our Central Region, and at a glance, they are not what an ordinary Beast Tamer can possess."

"I think she has already obtained the Ice Snow Bird's feathers; as for being able to come over so quickly, it should be that the Ghost-type pet beast's level is too high, maybe it's even Imperial-level, or its proficiency in space movement is very high, so it could come over so quickly."

Sure enough, she still had to rely on it.

Several figures jumped down from the dense trees.

"Yaya?"

"Phew..." The Compass let out a sigh of relief.

Stepping on the mud covered with rotten leaves, she walked for twenty minutes like this and saw a cliff.

It remembered its Beast Tamer's words and only performed the transfer after ensuring that there were no strong auras at the transfer location.

A terrifyingly huge figure entered her line of sight.

I didn't expect the little brother's speed to be so fast...

Then, Qingqingni appeared before her eyes.

"Yaya!"

The Compass gathered her thoughts and spoke subconsciously:

The Electric Tail Bug's pupils were instantly filled with fear, and it let out the most miserable cry it had ever made since birth.
