Chapter 887: Bilai and Card Master

Profound Wind Compass, it's coming for Qingqingni... Qiao Sang's nerves tightened instantly, but she remained calm on the surface.

The black-haired man held the Profound Wind Compass, his gaze looked over, his eyes narrowed slightly to size up the young girl not far away and the other few pet beasts he didn't recognize, then looked at the Profound Wind Compass again, stopped in place, and looked over with deep eyes.

The brown-haired man beside him also stopped.

Both looked to be about thirty years old, but the brown-haired man had naturally upturned corners of his mouth; judging from his appearance alone, he looked much gentler than the black-haired man.

The brown-haired man glanced at the Profound Wind Compass, his eyes brightened slightly, then his gaze fell on Qiao Sang, and he raised a smile and asked:

"Little sister, are you the only one here?"

As he spoke, he walked over unhurriedly.

His voice was amiable, but judging from his micro-expressions, he couldn't hide his excitement and agitation.

There were no pet beasts beside him, but that didn't mean there were no pet beasts beside them; it was just that they couldn't be seen with the naked eye. It would be simple to shake off these two people: either use space movement to leave, or move these two people away directly. However, in these twenty days, she had encountered many wild pet beasts, but none could be counted as a huge crisis, and she couldn't fully demonstrate her strength. The time to leave the secret realm was coming soon. If she spent the rest of the time like playing a game against small monsters, would Profound Wind Yunren think she was nothing more than this and refuse to let Qingqingni form a contract with her... Qiao Sang's brain turned rapidly, sizing up the two uninvited guests in front.

These two had a Profound Wind Compass, so their strength shouldn't be simple. Before she met Qingqingni, she had entered purely with the mindset of not wasting the Profound Wind Compass and seeing a legendary pet beast.

But the vast majority of people with a Profound Wind Compass definitely entered the secret realm with the goal of capturing or forming a contract with Qingqingni.

If they held this goal from the beginning, they must have made full preparations.

Suppose I prepared to forcibly form a contract with Qingqingni; after finding it, the first thing to do would be to force it to appear.

The Profound Wind Compass can point out Qingqingni's direction, but cannot determine its specific location. If they want to trap Qingqingni and force it to appear, Xiaoxunbao's space blockade is an option... Qiao Sang thought of this, her heart tightened, she didn't care about acting, and shouted:

"Move up!"

Xiaoxunbao's eyes glowed blue.

In the next second, Qiao Sang and Like Ya Bao and the others appeared in the sky several hundred meters high.

At the same time, centered on the ground where they were originally standing, the barrier that was about to form within a hundred-meter radius paused, then dissipated.

The black-haired man looked at the Profound Wind Compass in his hand, then looked at Qiao Sang in the high sky, and said in a deep voice:

"Qingqingni is right there with her."

"I know." After the brown-haired man finished speaking, he shouted excitedly toward the high sky: "Your reaction is quite fast!"

A Beast Tamer with a brain region reaching 50% has sensitive hearing. When focusing on listening to movement in a certain direction, even if the distance is a thousand meters, they can hear the specific words without the other party shouting.

If I can beat them, I'll show Profound Wind Yunren a trick; if I can't, I'll leave first. Safety is the priority... Qiao Sang looked down from above, ignored the other party, raised her hand, and snapped her fingers.

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao heard the long-lost sound, raised its head excitedly, and opened its mouth.

A red energy ball containing a destructive aura instantly condensed in its mouth.

Almost at the same time Like Ya Bao condensed the energy ball, a pet beast about two meters in size, with a body mostly cyan, a body close to a human torso, and a face like a masquerade mask, appeared out of thin air about five meters above Like Ya Bao, raised its claws to instantly condense a white energy ball also carrying a destructive aura, and prepared to strike downward.

Qiao Sang's pupils constricted, and she subconsciously issued a command:

"Move it!"

"Xunxun!"

Xiaoxunbao looked at the pet beast with the masquerade mask on its face, its eyes glowing blue.

The pet beast with the masquerade mask on its face disappeared.

The red energy ball was successfully fired upward.

The scorching fire light shot into the sky, dazzling and shocking, exploding in the higher firmament.

The brown-haired man clicked his tongue when he saw this and formed seals with both hands.

A huge red star array lit up on the ground.

That pet beast with the masquerade mask that disappeared in the high sky appeared in the star array.

Fire rain fell.

The dense flame rain was gorgeous but filled with a destructive, scorching aura, falling downward like stars falling.

The surrounding temperature rose sharply, the sky seemed to be dyed red, and so was the ice and snow below.

The brown-haired man's gaze was finally no longer excited, and his expression became slightly more serious: "You say, Qingqingni wouldn't have already been contracted by her, right?"

"Shouldn't be." The black-haired man looked at the fire rain above, his pupils also turning red at this moment: "Anyone with even a little brain who contracted Qingqingni in this secret realm would know to put it into the Beast Taming Tome, rather than waiting for people with a Profound Wind Compass to come looking."

"She should be using some means to control Qingqingni's actions."

The brown-haired man's expression relaxed slightly: "That makes me feel relieved."

The 16th Secret Realm opens once every 30 years. Qingqingni knows that humans are coming for it, so it shouldn't take the initiative to approach humans.

Although the person pointed to by the Profound Wind Compass looks very young, if she really looked as young as she appeared, she wouldn't appear in this secret realm, let alone be alone.

All these things indicate that the probability of Qingqingni being in the other party's hands is high, which is also the reason he prepared to make a move from the beginning.

Just didn't expect the other party to be quite vigilant.

But this just confirms that Qingqingni is in her hands.

When the fire rain fell to a position about five meters above the brown-haired man and the black-haired man, the black-haired man suddenly spoke:

"Swap."

As soon as the words fell, a pet beast about four meters in size, looking like a clown, with many playing cards hanging on its head, appeared out of thin air beside him.

The pet beast raised its head, looked at the falling fire rain, and one of the playing cards glowed slightly.

Following this, the two people swapped positions with Qiao Sang and Like Ya Bao and the others in the high sky.

Damn! Qiao Sang was startled, caught off guard, and almost screamed.

"Qing..."

Qingqingni was still young and screamed in fright. Fortunately, it was only half a scream, as if covered by something, and then there was no sound.

Just this half-scream forced Qiao Sang's expression to twist and change, and she returned to the appearance of a calm big shot.

Can't scream, Profound Wind Yunren is still beside... Calm down, it's just that the visual effect is a bit scary, Like Ya Bao is beside, the fire rain can't hit me... Qiao Sang remained calm on the surface, but her palms were sweating, and she gripped the fur on Like Ya Bao's back tightly.

Space swap, a high-tier Psychic-type skill, can swap positions with the target.

Generally speaking, no matter how many people are on one's own side, the number of targets swapped over is the same.

But she was in the high sky several hundred meters away, yet the other party could perform a sudden swap when the numbers were unequal. Clearly, the pet beast performing this skill had high proficiency.

The skill performed by the pet beast couldn't affect her and her Beast Tamer, but all this was under the control of the pet beast.

The other party should be betting that Like Ya Bao wouldn't react so quickly.

After all, her previous position didn't have Like Ya Bao, and it was also within the attack range of the fire rain.

They didn't need to change positions to accept the attack...

"Yaya..."

Like Ya Bao bared its teeth, staring dead at the top.

Flame tongues danced, fire splashed everywhere, but it didn't affect Qiao Sang in the slightest.

In the high sky, the two were shrouded in a semi-transparent barrier.

Fire rain constantly fell on the barrier, causing rapid ripples.

"Bang!"

In a sound like an explosion, the semi-transparent barrier suddenly cracked a large hole.

And then it was immediately repaired.

The brown-haired man felt the movement around him, his expression solemn, and took out a pet beast identifier to aim at the red pet beast below that he had never seen before.

Focus, enlarge, clear, identify.

Soon, a mechanical voice rang out:

【Yanqilu, a General-tier pet beast with dual Psychic and Fire attributes, likes to run in the air, has a proud personality, does not like people other than its own Beast Tamer to touch it. The larger the flame wings on both sides of its body, the more sufficient the energy in its body; conversely, if the flame wings shrink, it indicates that the energy in its body is weakening and its state is poor.】

As the pet beast identifier finished broadcasting, the barrier was broken into another large hole.

Then, the barrier returned to normal.

"A General-tier pet beast, the fire rain it casts is actually so powerful." The brown-haired man put down the pet beast identifier, full of surprise: "This skill shouldn't have reached the peak of the Profound Truth level already, right?"

You know, the one casting this barrier is his King-tier pet beast, Bilai.

The black-haired man looked down without answering, but instead asked:

"Why doesn't she take the opportunity to escape? Clearly, her pet beast can use space movement."

The brown-haired man pondered slightly and said: "Maybe she is thinking of solving us. After all, as long as we are in this secret realm, we will pose a danger to her."

"Is that so." The black-haired man said while forming seals with both hands: "Let's go together, quick battle, quick decision, to avoid attracting others."

"I think so too." The brown-haired man heard this, his expression excited, and began to form seals with both hands.

Huge red star arrays lit up around Qiao Sang one after another.

One, two, three...

Ground, front, mid-air, both sides...

A full seven red star arrays lit up out of thin air in various directions.

Almost at the same time the star arrays lit up, one of the playing cards on the head of the pet beast in the high sky glowed brightly with white light.

The fire rain all over the sky was instantly controlled by an unknown force, solidified and stopped in the air.

Good fellow, both are B-level Beast Tamers, directly using telekinesis to control all the fire rain. It seems that the one with all the cards on its head is at least a King-tier pet beast... Although the enemy is strong, this is also an opportunity. After solving these two guys, Profound Wind Yunren should be able to see my strength... Qiao Sang took a deep breath and said:

"Lubao!"

"Ice Emperor!"

Lubao, who had long been ready, had sharp eyes and let out a cry.

In an instant, the temperature dropped sharply, even colder than before the fire rain fell.

The solidified fire rain was covered with a layer of white frost and frozen in the air.

At the same time, the seven huge figures that had just appeared on the star arrays instantly froze into ice, turning into ice sculptures.

In the high sky, the black-haired man, whose expression had never changed much, had his pupils shrink violently, and the calmness on his face was replaced by astonishment.

The brown-haired man's face changed drastically, filled with shock.

Immediately, he realized that now was not the time for shock, and he prepared to issue a command to let the only pet beast beside him that hadn't been frozen, Bilai, launch an attack.

However, just as he opened his mouth, a bone-chilling cold came, and then he found that he couldn't move.

The brown-haired man realized something and, relying on his last will, looked to the left.

What came into view were two ice sculptures.

His pupils constricted, and then he completely turned into ice.

Qiao Sang looked at the four figures frozen in the high sky, her heart settled.

To be honest, if they really fought, she might not be the opponent of two B-level Beast Tamers, but fortunately, Lubao's Ice Sky Domain has a short-term invincible effect among the same tier, which can create a situation where she looks very awesome.

Although it was just a short confrontation, after showing such a hand, Profound Wind Yunren should believe in my strength... I don't know how long Lubao's Ice Sky Domain can maintain control over such a large range, better leave quickly... Qiao Sang didn't dare to delay, and said calmly on the surface:

"Let's go."

She paused and added:

"Go further."

"Xunxun~"

Xiaoxunbao immediately understood its Beast Tamer's meaning, its eyes glowing blue.

At the same time, in the high sky, the pet beast frozen with many playing cards on its head had its eyes glow blue, looking down.

"Xunxun..."

Xiaoxunbao keenly felt the gaze from above.

It raised its head, remembered being swapped to the bottom just now, felt a bit angry, its eyes turned into purple light to stare back, and then turned back to blue light.

The clown-like pet beast retracted its gaze.

Immediately, all the playing cards on its head lit up with white light.

The white light was like a sharp blade, cutting into the ice surface all around.

The ice surface faintly cracked a fissure.

At the same time, Qiao Sang and Like Ya Bao and the others disappeared from the spot.

The ice surface completely shattered.

The ice shell wrapping the fire rain melted, causing the fire rain to continue falling.

The seven pet beasts of various forms let out screams.

The two who had just frozen waved their hands and summoned the pet beasts back to the Beast Taming Tome.

"What skill was that just now?" The brown-haired man asked with an ugly face: "It could actually freeze us in the barrier from such a long distance."

"The barrier was just hit by the previous fire rain and had a hole, this one was added later." The black-haired man said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the brown-haired man glared at Bilai.

Bilai glared back: What are you looking at? It wasn't what it wanted.

The brown-haired man retracted his gaze, remembered the business, and said:

"Quickly take out the Profound Wind Compass, we might still be able to catch up."

"Paipai."

At this time, the pet beast covered in playing cards let out a cry.

The black-haired man smiled:

"No need, Card Master has already marked the location on the other party."

The brown-haired man was overjoyed:

"Then why don't we hurry..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

A pressure so strong it was hard to imagine came from above.

The two felt a tightening in their hearts and instinctively looked up.

Only to see a giant bird-type pet beast, 20 meters in size, with all its blue feathers made of ice, appeared high up at some point, looking at them coldly.

Damn!

Ice Snow Bird?! ===== CHAPTER 888 =====
