Chapter 922: Real-Word Flower and Dark-Eye Bird

"Xunxun?"

Little Xunbao floated in front of its Beast Tamer, picked up the dark black crystal in its claws, and called out curiously, indicating what this was.

This is... Qiao Sang stared at that dark black crystal, unable to be sure for a while.

For some props and minerals needed by pet beasts, she would only learn about them when she happened to need them. Currently, most of the knowledge she was making up for was about pet beasts.

"This is Tungsten Corpse Crystal," Teacher Mi Jiala walked over, glanced at Little Xunbao without a trace, her expression complex: "Evolution props for some ghost-type pet beasts."

Tungsten Corpse Crystal!

This is actually Tungsten Corpse Crystal!

Didn't expect this thing to be in the Grave Corpse Spirit's head. Why is there a feeling of fighting a boss and exploding equipment... Qiao Sang was happy when she heard this. Items like Tungsten Corpse Crystal, even if the level is not high, cannot be obtained casually. She immediately said:

"This is your future evolution prop, hurry up and put it away."

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao was refreshed, hurriedly took off its ring, and carefully put the Tungsten Corpse Crystal inside.

Teacher Mi Jiala maintained her persona and didn't speak.

Although Tungsten Corpse Crystal is very attractive to some B-tier Beast Tamers, the Grave Corpse Spirit was completely solved by Qiao Sang. As someone who didn't contribute at all, she shouldn't say anything.

"Qingqing..."

At this time, Qingbao floated over, held up its Beast Tamer's bleeding hand, and showed a worried expression.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then felt a warmth in her heart. Just as she was about to say something, a faint blue light shone over at this moment.

The wound on her hand healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Teacher Mi Jiala looked at the healing wound, her expression complex.

She dared to be sure that the Grave Corpse Spirit didn't cause Qiao Sang any harm just now.

Did she pick it like this to restrain fear...

"Qingqing!"

After the faint blue light dissipated, Qingbao held its Beast Tamer's hand, which had recovered as before, and showed a surprised expression.

Like Ya Bao walked over from a distance, supporting itself.

Qiao Sang saw this, and a touch of heartache appeared in her eyes. Before she could speak, another faint blue light shone over.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered something, formed seals with both hands, and summoned Gangbao.

"Gangjian..."

Gangbao, who had been in the Beast Taming Canon for a while, had already recovered slightly. It turned its head to see the Grave Corpse Spirit lying on the ground with its eyes closed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Help Gangbao heal too," Qiao Sang said.

"Ice Emperor."

Lubao nodded, and the gemstone between its forehead shone with faint blue light again.

The injuries on Gangbao's body disappeared quickly.

"You guys drink some Energy Recovery Agent first, and we'll set off after the energy recovers a bit," Qiao Sang said.

Although she hasn't entered the secret realm many times, she also knows that when a certain area has a particularly powerful pet beast, that is its territory, and basically a second powerful pet beast will not appear.

The big boss of this area is clearly the Grave Corpse Spirit.

Now that the Grave Corpse Spirit has fallen, resting here is the safest.

The ground was covered with fallen Corpse Little Ghosts, and not far away there was a huge Grave Corpse Spirit. Although they had all fallen, staying in this place still required no small amount of courage. However, Guo Ruiqi now, apart from the joy of surviving the disaster, also had a strong sense of security.

This sense of security was given to him by Senior Qiao.

Guo Ruiqi flipped down from the Speed-Sleep Bird, came to a tree, cleared it, and said:

"Senior Qiao, come here to rest."

Qiao Sang didn't stand on ceremony either, walked over, and sat down cross-legged.

The Speed-Sleep Bird hurriedly followed.

It now feels that staying next to this human is the safest.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao kept taking out Energy Recovery Agent from the ring and handing it to Like Ya Bao and the others.

Teacher Mi Jiala came to sit beside Qiao Sang, looking around while saying:

"Thanks to you this time."

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered that this teammate she paid props to invite didn't help at all, so she looked at her and asked:

"Why didn't you make a move just now?"

Teacher Mi Jiala had already thought of an excuse:

"The influence of Nightmare Qi on me was very large. Later, after Qingqing Ni turned into wind and blew the Nightmare Qi away a bit, I finally felt a bit clearer and issued an instruction, but..."

When she said this, she looked at the Speed-Sleep Bird with hesitation, her eyes appropriately revealing a touch of disappointment and shame:

"I didn't expect the Speed-Sleep Bird's courage to be smaller than I imagined, and it was still under the influence of Nightmare Qi at the time."

Speed-Sleep Bird: "???"

"Speed-Sleep!"

Speed-Sleep couldn't help but call out.

Teacher Mi Jiala glanced at it lightly: "Isn't it?"

It seems it really is... The Speed-Sleep Bird wilted.

Qiao Sang recalled that she did hear the instruction "Metal Sound" at that time, her expression relaxed a bit, but immediately she thought of something and asked:

"Why don't you summon other pet beasts?"

Teacher Mi Jiala was silent for a moment, then repeated the statement just now: "Sorry, the influence of Nightmare Qi on me was very large."

It seems that in terms of willpower, compared to Beast Tamers of the same level, I am still okay... Qiao Sang heard this and didn't say anything more.

After a simple rest, the three continued to set off.

After this incident, Like Ya Bao didn't dare to sleep again. It looked at the surroundings vigilantly while moving forward.

Gangbao and the Speed-Sleep Bird were exploring the way in the sky.

The next journey went smoothly, and no pet beasts that were particularly difficult to deal with were encountered.

When the sunlight appeared and the weather turned hot, Qiao Sang asked:

"Do you need to take a break?"

Teacher Mi Jiala looked at Guo Ruiqi.

Among the three, only he needed a break at this moment.

Guo Ruiqi took off his heavy clothes and changed into short sleeves while saying: "I'll just change my clothes, no need to rest."

Although Senior Qiao was very safe beside him, the previous experience still made him hope to find the Lele Seed as soon as possible and walk out of this ghost place.

He felt that he would never want to enter a place like a secret realm again in the future.

Qiao Sang didn't say anything and waited patiently.

Suddenly, her ears moved, and she turned her head to see a pet beast about twenty centimeters in size, generally green all over, with bright flowers on its back, walking out of the grass.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao stared at this pet beast that appeared without blinking.

Now, it is very vigilant about these small guys, always feeling that there is either a group behind them or a boss.

"Shi Shi!"

The pet beast with bright flowers on its back was startled when it saw so many strange faces, pulled its legs and ran, and the bright flowers behind it couldn't help but bloom while running.

With the blooming of the flowers, orange-red pollen drifted out.

Teacher Mi Jiala looked at the back of this pet beast and showed a thoughtful expression, then she remembered something, her face changed slightly, and she began to hold her breath.

Soon, the pet beast with flowers on its back disappeared without a trace.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao felt relieved.

"Senior Qiao, my clothes are changed, let's go," Guo Ruiqi said.

"Okay," Qiao Sang didn't take the pet beast that appeared just now to heart, nodded, and continued to set off forward.

Guo Ruiqi followed Qiao Sang habitually.

After walking for a while, he couldn't help but chat: "Senior Qiao, to be honest, many famous B-tier Beast Tamers in our Zhongdao region don't look as young as you."

Qiao Sang smiled and said:

"That's because they are not as young as me."

After saying that, she was stunned for a moment.

How did I say what was in my heart...

Guo Ruiqi agreed deeply, then he thought of something and turned to look at Teacher Mi Jiala:

"Senior Xu, are you also a B-tier Beast Tamer?"

Teacher Mi Jiala nodded, which was considered an answer.

Guo Ruiqi blurted out: "Why are you both B-tier Beast Tamers, but Senior Qiao looks so much younger and is so much stronger."

After saying this, he realized what he had said, and was so scared that he hurriedly covered his mouth.

Teacher Mi Jiala glanced at him, not caring in her heart.

Anyway, this child is talking about Xu Gehong, not her.

What kind of big truth is this... Qiao Sang coughed, wanting to help find a remedy, but opened her mouth to say: "What kind of big truth you said."

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

Holy crap, what did I say?!

Teacher Mi Jiala glanced at Qiao Sang silently, thinking to herself that she had indeed fallen for the Real-Word Flower's trick.

At this time, Qiao Sang finally realized that something was wrong with her.

She tried hard to recall the previous scene. Everything was normal when Guo Ruiqi was changing clothes. Later, a pet beast with flowers on its back appeared...

"What kind of pet beast is that pet beast with flowers on its back?" Qiao Sang asked.

Teacher Mi Jiala knew what she was asking as soon as she heard

"Truth Flower, a beginner-tier grass-element pet beast. The pollen on its body makes people unable to control themselves from speaking the truth."

No wonder... Qiao Sang suddenly realized.

Upon hearing this, Guo Ruiqi covered his mouth, not daring to let go, fearing he might say something he shouldn't later.

It's actually a bit like the Virtual-Reality Grass in the Lianke region, but it seems even more excessive than the Virtual-Reality Grass... Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and asked:

"Did you recognize that it was a Truth Flower from the very beginning?"

Teacher Mi Jiala nodded and said "Mm": "The flowers on a Truth Flower are bright and colorful; they are usually closed, but they bloom when the emotions are intense, releasing pollen that makes people tell the truth. It's very easy to recognize."

Qiao Sang stared at her for a while, then suddenly asked:

"What is the pet beast that has been invisible by your side?"

At first, she didn't think much of it, but later, when they encountered the Grave Corpse Spirit, she could understand if the other party couldn't form hand seals due to shaking hands or couldn't think of summoning a pet beast due to fear, even if affected by the Nightmare Aura.

However, the invisible pet beast by her side did not reveal its form despite the influence of the Nightmare Aura, which was very abnormal.

Unless there was one possibility, and that was that this invisible pet beast's strength was far above that of the Grave Corpse Spirit, which is why it wouldn't be affected.

She actually discovered it... Teacher Mi Jiala's heart skipped a beat, but she said with a calm expression on the surface:

"That is a Stealthy Shield."

Stealthy Shield, a king-tier psychic-element pet beast, naturally colorless, remaining in an invisible and unseen state for its entire life, with a personality that is both timid and very cautious, unwilling to make a sound in front of people unless absolutely necessary... Qiao Sang's mind flashed with the data on this pet beast, thinking to herself, could it be that she had misunderstood?

Although the Stealthy Shield and the Grave Corpse Spirit are both king-tier pet beasts, given the general personality of the Stealthy Shield species, it's not impossible that it was too scared to make a move.

Seeing Qiao Sang's expression, Teacher Mi Jiala knew she had believed most of it, and the rest only required the "Stealthy Shield" to reveal its identity, so she said:

"Stealthy Shield, make a sound."

After a brief silence, a sound rang out:

"Pen..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

Teacher Mi Jiala: "!!!"

Teacher Mi Jiala brainstormed, and in just 0.01 seconds, she realized that she had held her breath, but the Spraying Jia Mei had inhaled the Truth Flower's pollen!

It's over!

Could her identity be exposed just like this?

Pen? How come this cry sounds so familiar... Qiao Sang looked at Xu Gehong with suspicious eyes.

"Steel Sword!"

Just as Teacher Mi Jiala was thinking about how to make up for it, Gangbao let out a cry high in the sky.

Qiao Sang instantly gathered her thoughts and looked up vigilantly.

The moment she looked up, what she saw was a large group of black, dense bird-type pet beasts.

Each bird-type pet beast was about three meters in size.

Guo Ruiqi was so scared he hid behind Qiao Sang.

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao bared its teeth, looking at the sky, and assumed a posture ready to battle at any time.

Quite a few black bird-type pet beasts looked down, and some black bird-type pet beasts showed excited expressions, but after some black bird-type pet beasts nearby let out a cry of "Anji," they quickly turned their heads and continued flying forward.

Anji Bird, a high-tier pet beast with both dark and flying elements, likes to hunt prey in groups and fight for territory, using any means necessary to win. When they feel they have a certain amount of strength, they will fight each other to compete for the leader's throne, and the loser will be driven out of the flock... Qiao Sang's mind flashed with the data on those black bird-type pet beasts.

The Anji Birds flew away, and the sky quickly regained its brightness.

Qiao Sang took out a tool for identifying direction, looked at it for a while, and said: "There might be a flock of Anji Birds fighting ahead, let's change direction."

Guo Ruiqi trusted her ten thousand percent: "I'll listen to Senior Qiao."

Teacher Mi Jiala didn't speak, implying there was no problem.

She just wanted to lower her presence now, so as not to have Qiao Sang put her mind on her again.

After confirming the direction, the three continued forward.

After walking for about five minutes, Qiao Sang's ear twitched, and she heard a subtle movement in the grass beside her.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao clearly heard this movement too; it floated over and pushed aside the grass to take a look.

Inside was a bird-type pet beast about one meter in size, mostly black all over.

Its feathers were messy, one of its wings was full of wounds, and its eyes were full of vigilance and fear.

It wasn't hard to see that it was heavily injured; otherwise, given that look in its eyes, it would have pulled away a hundred or eighty meters the moment it saw Little Xunbao.

"Xunxun?"

Little Xunbao turned its head, pointed at the black bird-type pet beast in the grass, and let out a cry, indicating what should be done with this guy?

Dark Eye Bird, a mid-tier pet beast with both dark and flying elements, and also the mid-tier form of the Anji Bird... Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said:

"Lubao."

Lubao understood its Beast Tamer's meaning, and without a word, it directly lit up the gem on its forehead with a ghostly blue light and shone it over.

"Senior Qiao, are you going to save it?" After spending this much time together, Guo Ruiqi also understood that this ghostly blue light was a healing skill, so he couldn't help but ask.

Even if he hadn't entered a secret realm before, he knew that risking danger in a secret realm to spend time and energy saving wild pet beasts wasn't the right choice. In reality, there were many examples of wild pet beasts returning kindness with enmity and snatching food after being saved.

Qiao Sang said:

"It's fine, anyway, this is just a mid-tier pet beast; even if it recovers, it won't pose any threat to me."

Just after speaking, she knew the effect of the Truth Flower hadn't passed yet...

"Dark Eye..."

The next second, Qiao Sang saw the grateful expression that the now unharmed Dark Eye Bird had just revealed instantly vanish.

"..."
