Chapter 924
A commotion came from below, and Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts.
She saw more than a dozen grass-type pet beasts guarding the Leaf Stone fragments, none of them willing to give way to the others, looking like they were about to fight.
Qiao Sang gave Little Treasure Hunter a look: Move it away.
Although the Leaf Stone had been cut into two halves and couldn't let grass-type pet beasts evolve, it didn't mean that grass-type pet beasts couldn't consume it.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter, who was watching the show, received its Beast Tamer's look and revealed a regretful expression, but it still obediently had its eyes glow with blue light.
The next second, the Leaf Stone fragments below disappeared.
The grass-type pet beasts from all sides were stunned at first, and then revealed angry expressions, all thinking that the surrounding grass-type pet beasts had taken the Leaf Stone fragments away when they weren't paying attention, so they quickly used their skills and started fighting.
"Go 500 meters away." Qiao Sang took the transferred Leaf Stone fragments, lowered her voice, and pointed in a direction.
Little Treasure Hunter's eyes glowed with blue light again to perform coordinate positioning.
In about two or three seconds, the three of them appeared on the ground 500 meters away.
Qiao Sang repeated the same trick, placed the Leaf Stone fragments, let Seeing Qingbao use the wind to spread the energy inside over a large area, and hid in the grass on the side with Xu Xu Gehong and Guo Guo Ruiqi to observe the grass-type pet beasts that were attracted.
"I'm afraid these Leaf Stone fragments won't last long." Mi Mi Jiala said, staring at the wild pet beasts that were attracted one by one.
The evolution stone became fragments, and it became a defective product, and the energy inside would be continuously lost.
Qiao Sang knew it in her heart: "It can probably be used for about half a month."
If it wasn't for deliberately letting Seeing Qingbao use the wind to blow out and spread the energy inside, the energy loss inside would be much slower.
"What if the Lele Seed hasn't been found after half a month?" Guo Guo Ruiqi worried.
"It's fine, I still have Leaf Stones." Qiao Sang said generously.
Back then, taking advantage of the deadline of the unlimited card, she really hoarded as much as she could. Leaf Stones might be valuable to ordinary Beast Tamers, but to her, they really didn't count for much.
And the Leaf Stones bought directly from the store without reservation only reached A-level at the highest, so they couldn't be considered very valuable.
Hearing this, Guo Guo Ruiqi's heart instantly settled: "No matter how many are used, I will definitely return them to you after we get out."
Just as he was speaking, the grass they were hiding in suddenly stood up, revealing two short legs, and ran toward the location of the Leaf Stone.
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
Guo Guo Ruiqi: "!!!"
"Ya!"
Like Ya Bao's fur stood on end, revealing a shocked expression.
What, it didn't even discover that the thing in front of it just now was a pet beast?!
This cry immediately made the grass-type pet beasts gathered around the Leaf Stone fragments look over.
"Ye ye!"
"Shuai!"
"Mo mo!"
The grass-type pet beasts revealed vigilant expressions and cried out one after another.
Skills like Razor Leaf, Vine Whip, and Magical Leaf appeared one after another, attacking Qiao Sang's location.
"Ya!"
Like Ya Bao jumped down from its Beast Tamer's arms, its eyes glowing with blue light.
All the skills were instantly controlled by some kind of power and frozen in mid-air.
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter appeared and floated in front of them, its eyes becoming cold, its expression dignified and imposing, and its aura of a king appeared.
A powerful sense of oppression descended instantly.
The grass-type pet beasts' bodies trembled, then stiffened, and then their eyes became unfocused, and they closed their eyes and fell to the ground.
"Xun xun~"
Seeing this, Little Treasure Hunter retracted its majestic expression, floated over, picked up the Leaf Stone fragments, and brought them back to its Beast Tamer's side.
"I didn't expect the grass just now to be a pet beast..." Guo Guo Ruiqi looked at the pet beast that looked like grass lying on the ground not far away, and thinking back on it now, he still felt a lingering fear.
I didn't expect it either... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Guo Guo Ruiqi immediately thought of something, his expression relaxed, and he continued: "But Senior Qiao, you must have discovered it long ago."
No, I didn't discover it... Qiao Sang said calmly on the surface: "Bush Grass, it stays still for 20 hours out of 24 hours a day, camouflaging itself like grass. Even if someone steps on it, it won't reveal any flaws. I didn't expect the Leaf Stone fragments to tempt it too."
This was what she recognized only after the Bush Grass revealed its two short legs.
If nothing else, the camouflage was spot on...
"This just goes to show the attraction of the energy inside the Leaf Stone to grass-type pet beasts." Guo Guo Ruiqi hurriedly found a way to make up for it.
I almost thought you didn't recognize the Bush Grass; it turns out you thought it would always camouflage itself as grass... Mi Mi Jiala said slowly:
"Don't underestimate the attraction of the Leaf Stone to grass-type pet beasts, even if it has become fragments."
Qiao Sang looked at her and suddenly asked: "Have you ever been a teacher before?"
Mi Mi Jiala was immediately alert: "No, why?"
"Nothing." Qiao Sang retracted her gaze: "It's just that I feel the way you speak occasionally is a bit like a teacher who taught me."
Mi Mi Jiala: "!!!"
For the next period of time, Qiao Sang placed Leaf Stone fragments every 500 meters.
If the Lele Seed didn't appear, she would let Little Treasure Hunter take back the fragments and move to the next place.
In this way, the speed and efficiency were much faster, and it also avoided battles with some wild pet beasts during the journey, saving a lot of time.
Soon, night fell, and the weather became extremely cold.
Guo Guo Ruiqi put on a thick down jacket and carefully leaned toward Like Ya Bao, trying to get warm.
Qiao Sang hid in the tree canopy, watching the grass-type pet beasts gathered below.
Perhaps due to Little Treasure Hunter's feedback, even in places without light, she could see things clearly.
"If you can't see clearly, then sense it." Qiao Sang lowered her voice and said.
"Understood." Guo Guo Ruiqi nodded.
The weather was cold at night, and the grass-type pet beasts that gathered moved much slower, unlike the grass-type pet beasts during the day that were so eager when they smelled the scent and ran over quickly.
Qiao Sang observed below while asking casually:
"Xu Xu Gehong, why have you stopped talking?"
I'm afraid you'll say I'm like a teacher again... Mi Mi Jiala maintained her persona and said: "I don't know what to say."
Qiao Sang said: "You can talk about your Hidden Shield..."
Before she finished speaking, Guo Guo Ruiqi on the side looked below and exclaimed in a low voice: "Ice Walking Grass!"
Qiao Sang looked over accordingly.
She saw a small pet beast about fifteen centimeters in size, generally ice-blue all over, with two leaves on its head, running over happily.
Ice Walking Grass is a rare ice and grass dual-attribute pet beast. The leaves on its head are medicinal materials that pharmacists love to use. After being dried in the sun and boiled for consumption, it can effectively remove dampness and cold from the body.
"I didn't expect to encounter a pet beast like the Ice Walking Grass, but I haven't encountered a single Lele Seed." Guo Guo Ruiqi thought of his Great Happiness and couldn't help but feel lost.
"Don't worry, we'll find it sooner or later." Qiao Sang comforted.
To be honest, having searched until now, she also had no bottom in her heart.
This secret realm was really too big. Let alone the unknown areas, the currently known areas hadn't been fully walked through yet.
As thoughts flashed, a brown root suddenly drilled out from beneath the ground where the Leaf Stone fragments were placed, wrapped around them, and took them into the ground.
Qiao Sang's thoughts stopped abruptly, and she shouted:
"Like Ya Bao!"
"Ya!"
Like Ya Bao cried out, opened its mouth, and a scorching rotating flame instantly attacked the position where the Leaf Stone fragments had disappeared.
With a "bang," gravel splashed and flames ran wild.
A pet beast covered in withered leaves screamed and was blown out from the ground.
The grass-type pet beasts gathered around were so scared that they fled one after another.
A gust of wind rolled up the Leaf Stone fragments that were blown out at the same time, floated to Qiao Sang's side, and turned into Seeing Qingbao.
Before Qiao Sang could speak, a strange movement suddenly sounded from beneath the ground.
Immediately after, a green vine drilled out from the ground and attacked Seeing Qingbao very accurately.
"Ya!"
Like Ya Bao's eyes glowed with blue light.
The green vine was controlled by an invisible force and stopped in mid-air.
Qiao Sang suddenly sensed something, turned her head to look, and her pupils shrank.
Several green vines were attacking Seeing Qingbao from behind!
"Gangbao!" Qiao Sang said loudly.
"Steel Sword!"
Gangbao, who had been circling in mid-air, waved its wings downward, and more than a dozen blades condensed from air suddenly attacked downward, cutting every vine into several pieces.
However, at this moment, a vine actually attacked from the branches and leaves of the tree they were squatting on, accurately binding Seeing Qingbao!
"Seeing Qingbao!" Qiao Sang was startled.
"Qing qing."
Seeing Qingbao, however, had no fear. It looked down at the vine that bound it, turned into wind, and disappeared.
The vine lost its target and shrank back.
Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief silently.
This secret realm is too dangerous. Seeing Qingbao is only at the beginner level, which almost made her forget that Seeing Qingbao actually has the ability to protect itself.
Mi Mi Jiala looked at everything in front of her, silent, acting as a background board.
Guo Guo Ruiqi was quite calm, except when the vine bound Seeing Qingbao. After spending these forty-odd days together, he had enough confidence in Senior Qiao's strength.
"Let's go!" Qiao Sang said decisively.
Different from before, she had been moving on the ground for the past few days, not wanting to disrupt the direction with random space movement.
Now that she had another plan to find the Lele Seed, she could naturally move within a certain range, as long as the range was within 500 meters.
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter had already completed the positioning when it put down the Leaf Stone fragments. Its eyes glowed with blue light, and the group disappeared from the spot.
Not long after the group left, the tree they had been squatting on opened its eyes.
Late at night, Mi Mi Jiala and Guo Guo Ruiqi lay in their sleeping bags.
Qiao Sang kept watch at night, took out her phone, and checked the time.
After the previous few secret realm trips, she had become smarter. Although there were no electric-type pet beasts that could charge, there were power banks that could charge at any time.
Although equipment like power banks was no longer popular in the Beast Taming society, not everyone had electric-type pet beasts that could charge, so there was still some market.
Before entering the secret realm, she bought ten power banks to carry with her for emergencies.
The phone had power, so she knew clearly what time it was.
23:44... Time is running out... Qiao Sang put down her phone and looked around at the surrounding environment.
The surroundings were flat ground overgrown with weeds, and there was a clear narrow path ahead.
The entrance to this narrow path was exceptionally narrow, making it inconvenient for large pet beasts to pass through, so there was no need to worry about some powerful pet beasts suddenly rushing out.
Wild pet beasts occasionally appeared nearby, but they were all at the beginner or intermediate level, so there was no need to worry too much.
Qiao Sang observed for a while, shook Seeing Qingbao, who had already fallen asleep beside her, and said softly:
"Seeing Qingbao, wake up."
"Qing qing..."
Seeing Qingbao wasn't like Like Ya Bao; it woke up as soon as it was shaken and rubbed its eyes.
"Prepare yourself, you're about to evolve." Qiao Sang lowered her voice and said.
Hearing this, Seeing Qingbao instantly woke up:
"Qing qing?!"
Really?!
"Of course it's true." Qiao Sang said.
In the Beast Taming Canon, on this page about Seeing Qingbao, it was 3 points away from evolving to the next stage.
3 points, even without eating energy pills and pet beast food containing energy, Seeing Qingbao could naturally reach it.
"Qing qing!"
Seeing Qingbao floated up, revealing a pleasantly surprised expression.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter floated over, looked at Seeing Qingbao, and was full of gratification.
The stronger the fifth one is, the stronger the power behind it will be when it takes it as a little brother in the future.
At this time, a sound rang out:
"Qingqingni is going to evolve?"
Qiao Sang looked up and saw Xu Xu Gehong open her eyes at some point, turn her head, and look over.
"You're not asleep yet?" Qiao Sang asked.
Mi Mi Jiala said "Hmm" and asked the previous question again:
"Qingqingni is going to evolve?"
Qiao Sang nodded: "Yes."
Mi Mi Jiala wasn't particularly surprised that Qiao Sang knew Qingqingni was about to evolve.
When outside, Beast Tamers basically take their pet beasts for comprehensive tests every once in a while to estimate the evolution time.
Like Beast Tamers who have a deep bond with their pet beasts, or those who have reached C-level, they can sense whether their pet beasts are about to evolve even without testing.
Because pet beasts will have some differences from usual in the stage of being about to evolve.
"Let me help you keep watch." Mi Mi Jiala crawled out of the sleeping bag, feeling uneasy.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang wasn't surprised. Qingqingni is a legendary pet beast in the Zhongkong region, and the other party is also from the Zhongkong region, so naturally, she would be more concerned.
"Then I'll trouble you."
"It's no trouble."
The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.
After ten seconds, Qiao Sang asked: "Aren't you going to wake up the Sleepy Bird?"
Mi Mi Jiala said: "It's fine, I don't only have the Sleepy Bird."
After a pause, she added:
"My Hidden Shield hasn't slept yet."
After speaking, she nodded at the air beside her.
After a brief silence of two seconds, a sound rang out: "Hidden..."
Qiao Sang instantly remembered one thing: "Why did your Hidden Shield open its mouth and say 'Pen' at that time?"
She still remembers... Mi Mi Jiala's expression stiffened, then recovered, and she said calmly:
"It rarely speaks; it was just preparing to clear its throat at that time."
What pet beast clears its throat by saying "Pen"? Do you think I believe you... Qiao Sang didn't voice her doubts.
The most important thing now is Seeing Qingbao's evolution.
It's meaningless to keep asking about things the other party doesn't want to say at this time.
It's good that she didn't continue this topic... Mi Mi Jiala waited for half a minute, and seeing that Qiao Sang didn't ask further, she breathed a sigh of relief.
For the next period of time, in order to avoid talking about things that shouldn't be talked about again, Mi Mi Jiala didn't speak, just quietly observed the surroundings.
Time passed.
Soon it was 23:57.
Qiao Sang put down her phone and nodded at Little Treasure Hunter.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter understood its Beast Tamer's meaning, took off the ring, and took out a Heart of the Fairy as big as a pomegranate from inside.
Its dazzling light almost blinded Mi Mi Jiala in the night.
She looked at the Heart of the Fairy, her eyes wide with astonishment, full of confusion and disbelief.
How can the Heart of the Fairy be so big?!
That shouldn't be!
She clearly remembered that the Heart of the Fairy sent by those people in the Zhongkong region wasn't even half this size!
Mi Mi Jiala really wanted to ask, but hindered by her identity, she finally held back the words she wanted to ask.
"Seeing Qingbao, are you ready?" Qiao Sang asked with a solemn expression.
"Qing qing!"
Seeing Qingbao also nodded with a solemn expression.
23:59:58.
23:59:59.
Qiao Sang handed over the pomegranate-sized Heart of the Fairy.
Seeing Qingbao stretched out its claws to make contact with it.
In an instant, a bright white light shone.
