Chapter 936: Ten Minutes
An hour later, by the side of a lake.
"Yaya!"
Like Ya Bao was spirited and vigilant, looking like "I'll see who dares to offend."
If Like Ya Bao could also use spatial movement and empathic positioning like itself, that would be great... Qiao Sang let go of the struggling Lele Seed in her hand and sighed in her heart.
With Like Ya Bao's current Emperor-tier strength, if it could also use spatial movement, it would definitely be able to sense a further distance.
Then she thought of something, turned to look at Xu Gehong, a person who remained mysterious even after spending dozens of days together, and apologized:
"Sorry, I didn't get the Melt-Bright Crystal you wanted."
Like Ya Bao had gotten one earlier, but it fell during the fight.
"It's okay, safety is the most important," Teacher Mi Jiala said indifferently.
She paused and added:
"Just remember to give me the props you promised before."
Qiao Sang immediately guaranteed:
"That's for sure."
After saying that, she asked with a smile:
"I wonder if your Hidden Concealment Shield can use spatial movement?"
Teacher Mi Jiala immediately understood Qiao Sang's intention; she didn't answer immediately, but instead asked:
"How long have we been in the secret realm?"
If it were before Yanqilu swallowed the Melt-Bright Fire Seed, she would definitely have denied it.
But now Yanqilu spent too much time absorbing the Melt-Bright Fire Seed in the magma; if they continued searching like this, she felt they might not be able to catch up to participate in the regional competition.
"I'll check," Qiao Sang took out her phone.
However, before she could start lighting up the screen, Guo Ruiqi beside her spoke up:
"92 days."
What did you say? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and turned to look:
"What 92 days?"
"A total of 92 days have passed since we entered the secret realm," Guo Ruiqi said with a melancholy face: "I don't know if my Big Happiness will still remember me."
Every day without finding Big Happiness was like a year for him, so he naturally calculated it quite clearly.
"!!!"
Qiao Sang's face was full of shock.
What? 92 days have passed?!
Did Like Ya Bao spend so long absorbing the Melt-Bright Fire Seed?
Then wouldn't she miss her regional competition?!
She quickly looked down at her phone.
When she saw the date on it, her heart instantly went cold.
There was no need to calculate how long had passed; August 24th, only two days left until the official registration deadline for the regional competition.
At this moment, only two words appeared in Qiao Sang's mind:
Finished...
Even if Little Xunbao suddenly mutated now and its spatial movement sensing ability could be powerful enough to cover the entire secret realm, it would be absolutely impossible to find the Lele Seed in just two days.
Because every time a Lele Seed was sensed, they had to take Guo Ruiqi over to confirm it.
And some Lele Seeds would hide in secluded places.
Two days were simply not enough...
It had actually been so long... Teacher Mi Jiala's heart sank.
Even she couldn't guarantee finding the correct Lele Seed within two days.
But soon she thought it through.
The main reason for bringing Qiao Sang to the Central Region for training was the prediction of the Edge Spirit.
Now Qiao Sang had not only broken through her brain domain to 50%, contracted Qingqingni, but also let Ice Bing Ai Pa Lu and Yanqilu evolve into Emperor-tier pet beasts one after another; the harvest obtained had already far exceeded her expectations.
Even if she didn't participate in the regional competition, it didn't matter; at most, she could just change to another place to participate in the competition and conduct actual combat training.
Seeing Qiao Sang's expression was wrong, Guo Ruiqi thought she felt that too much time had been wasted underground and quickly said:
"Senior Qiao, actually I'm not that anxious; my parents have already helped me ask for leave at school, as long as I can find the Lele Seed, I'm willing to spend as much time as it takes."
Qiao Sang: "..."
I'm not willing...
My regional competition is about to start...
At this time, Teacher Mi Jiala spoke up:
"I'll try; my Hidden Concealment Shield can use spatial movement, but it's not like your Ghost Ring King, which has already reached the profound truth level."
Only two days left had made Qiao Sang completely wilted; at this time, she no longer held any hope and said powerlessly:
"Okay."
Teacher Mi Jiala looked up at the sky: "Hidden Concealment Shield."
"Hidden Concealment."
A voice responded from the high sky.
Teacher Mi Jiala then closed her eyes.
Actually, at the S-tier Beast Tamer stage, she could do precise positioning in her mind without closing her eyes, but she was just following the persona.
Eyes glowing with blue light appeared out of thin air.
"Xunxun..."
Little Xunbao floated to the side of the blue-glowing eyes and poked the area beside the blue eyes with its claws.
When it definitely poked something, its eyes lit up, its interest was aroused, and it poked two more times.
"Qingqing~"
Seeing this, Qingbao appeared beside Little Xunbao, learned its appearance, poked forward with its claws, and then was stunned for a moment, showing a surprised expression.
The blue-glowing eyes didn't even blink, continuing to expand the range to sense everything around.
Three seconds later, Teacher Mi Jiala opened her eyes suddenly, showing a shocked expression.
Seeing her expression was wrong, Qiao Sang asked seriously: "What's wrong?"
To be honest, having spent so long in the secret realm, this was still the first time the other party had shown such an exaggerated expression since seeing Qingbao for the first time.
"A group of Dark Ji Birds is approaching here," Teacher Mi Jiala's expression was complex, and then she added: "Every one of them has a Lele Seed in its mouth."
Qiao Sang: "???"
What does that mean? A group of Dark Ji Birds with Lele Seeds in their mouths flying towards here?
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and looked up at Little Xunbao, who was still poking forward with its fingers:
"Empathy."
"Xunxun~"
Little Xunbao immediately switched to serious mode, its eyes glowing blue.
Qiao Sang closed her eyes.
Everything around appeared clearly in her mind as a 3D terrain map.
Swaying leaves, scorching sunlight, small pet beasts holding fruits to eat.
The next moment, the blue sky seemed to turn completely black.
In the sky, a black mass of pitch-black Dark Ji Birds were carrying Lele Seeds, which looked inconspicuous against their backdrop, and were shuttling towards here quickly.
Qiao Sang opened her eyes, her heart beating wildly.
Too many...
Almost every Dark Ji Bird looked like it was carrying a Lele Seed.
The quantity was actually several times more than all the Lele Seeds they had encountered so far!
Although she didn't know why this group of Dark Ji Birds were all carrying Lele Seeds, this was an opportunity!
So many Lele Seeds! Maybe the one Guo Ruiqi was looking for was among them!
"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Qiao Sang's expression was serious: "Guo Ruiqi, a large group of Dark Eye Birds carrying Lele Seeds is approaching here; you concentrate your attention and sense it later."
"Understood!" Guo Ruiqi followed the direction Qiao Sang was looking and said seriously.
"Yaya!"
Like Ya Bao exerted force on the ground with its four limbs, showing an excited expression of being eager to try.
Since it evolved, it hadn't had a good fight yet!
"Xunxun!"
Little Xunbao showed an expression of "I'm already prepared" and floated silently to a place close to Like Ya Bao and Lubao.
Lubao jumped out of the backpack.
Gangbao circled in mid-air, staring in the direction its own Beast Tamer was staring.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao turned into wind directly.
After everyone was ready, soon, the screams of "Lele!", "Lele!" came from the high sky not far away.
Immediately following, in the high sky, one could see a large group of pitch-black Dark Ji Birds approaching here quickly.
"Wait, control them all directly," Qiao Sang said seriously.
"Ice Emperor." Lubao nodded.
"That's it!" When the Dark Ji Birds in the high sky were only a few dozen meters away from them, Qiao Sang said.
Lubao stepped forward with its left front claw.
"Dark Ji!"
However, just at this moment, the leading Dark Ji Bird cried out, then flew downwards.
The large group of Dark Ji Birds behind it, carrying Lele Seeds, followed behind it.
"Steel Sword!"
Gangbao in mid-air cried out, indicating not to attack first.
This group of Dark Ji Birds had no hostility... Almost a second before Gangbao spoke, Qiao Sang had sensed Gangbao's thought and couldn't help but stop it subconsciously:
"Wait first!"
The cold air on Lubao's body dissipated visibly.
"Ya..."
Like Ya Bao, who was ready to attack at any time, had to hold back first.
A group of Dark Ji Birds stopped a few meters away, hovering in mid-air, staring at them.
"Lele!"
"Lele!"
The Lele Seeds were struggling desperately in the mouths of the Dark Ji Birds.
Seeing the scene before her, a thought that even she felt was very absurd suddenly rose in Qiao Sang's heart:
Could this group of Dark Ji Birds know that they were looking for Lele Seeds, so they caught Lele Seeds and specially sent them over?
"Dark Ji."
As thoughts flashed, the leading Dark Ji Bird cried out.
Then, the group of Dark Ji Birds behind it loosened their mouths one after another, throwing the Lele Seeds in their mouths to the ground.
"Lele!"
"Lele!"
Almost all the Lele Seeds fled in all directions the moment they landed.
Only one thin Lele Seed remained, staring at Guo Ruiqi and slowly shedding two lines of hot tears.
Could this one be... Qiao Sang's heart moved, and she immediately forgot why this group of Dark Ji Birds had such strange behavior, all her attention was attracted by the Lele Seed that was performing very strangely in front of her.
"Big, Big Happiness..." Guo Ruiqi's voice trembled as he called out.
Between heaven and earth, his vision seemed to only see this thin green figure.
"Lele!!!"
The Lele Seed's mouth puckered, snot and tears flowed down, and it ran towards Guo Ruiqi while crying loudly.
"Big Happiness!!!" Guo Ruiqi squatted down and opened his arms.
"Lele!!!"
The Lele Seed pounced into his arms.
"Xunxun..."
Little Xunbao was moved to tears from time to time on the side.
Found it just like that? Teacher Mi Jiala considered herself well-informed, but she was still a bit confused by the scene before her.
Why would a group of Dark Ji Birds bring a group of Lele Seeds over?
It seemed like they had specially helped find them...
"Dark Ji."
At this time, the leading Dark Ji Bird cried out.
"Steel Sword."
Gangbao was stunned for a moment and translated.
It said this was the reward for saving it.
Hearing this, Qiao Sang stared at the leading Dark Ji Bird for a few seconds, then thought of something and asked with hesitation:
"Are you that injured Dark Eye Bird from before?"
"Dark Ji." The leading Dark Ji Bird nodded.
Holy crap, it really is... Qiao Sang was a bit shocked.
Then, she thought of something and confirmed with disbelief:
"So, you later evolved into a Dark Ji Bird, became the boss, knew we were looking for Lele Seeds, and specially found a group to bring over?"
"Dark Ji."
The Dark Ji Bird nodded.
Is this the legendary "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river"... Qiao Sang looked at the Dark Ji Bird, which faintly had the demeanor of a king, and no matter what, she couldn't connect it with the injured Dark Eye Bird from before.
"Xunxun..."
Little Xunbao's attention was attracted; when it heard that the leading Dark Ji Bird was that injured Dark Eye Bird, it couldn't help but widen its eyes, looked at the group of little brothers behind it, and showed a shocked expression.
Is it that easy to be a boss and take in little brothers?!
"Yaya..."
Like Ya Bao's claws relaxed silently, and it sighed.
So it wasn't an opponent...
It was actually that Dark Eye Bird... Teacher Mi Jiala looked blankly at the leading Dark Ji Bird.
"Dark Ji."
The Dark Ji Bird glanced at the human and Lele Seed crying and hugging not far away, cried out, indicating that since the reward had been delivered, it would leave first.
After saying that, it flapped its wings and flew into the high sky.
"Dark Ji!"
"Dark Ji!"
The group of Dark Ji Birds behind flapped their wings and followed quickly.
Qiao Sang reacted and shouted:
"Thank you all!"
The Dark Ji Birds didn't look back.
Teacher Mi Jiala looked up at the Dark Ji Birds gradually moving away in the high sky and sighed:
"I didn't expect that the Dark Eye Bird saved unintentionally could help us find the Lele Seed."
"Yeah, who could have thought..." Qiao Sang stared in the direction the Dark Ji Birds left for a few seconds, then thought of something, turned her head suddenly, and said urgently:
"Stop crying, let's get out of the secret realm quickly!"
She originally held no hope, but now, the Lele Seed had been delivered to her face!
Two days, maybe they could still catch up to the official registration deadline!
Qiao Sang's words were now more effective than the head teacher for Guo Ruiqi; he immediately stopped his tears, picked up the Lele Seed, and said with a nasal voice:
"I can set off at any time!"
Qiao Sang quickly took out the props for identifying directions to confirm the orientation.
At this time, Teacher Mi Jiala said:
"I'll do it; I've been to this secret realm before and am more familiar with the orientation of the passage exit."
This was naturally a lie, but according to Spraying Jia Mei's spiritual power, it would definitely be faster than the Ghost Ring King to find the exit.
Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, not doubting it, and looked over with expectation:
"Then I'll rely on you!"
Teacher Mi Jiala looked up at the sky and said:
"Find the exit."
"Hidden Concealment."
Eyes glowing with blue light appeared.
In about twenty minutes, the group appeared at the passage entrance.
Looking at the passage entrance, Qiao Sang almost cried with joy and said excitedly:
"Gangbao!"
"Steel Sword."
Gangbao flapped its wings and took the group to fly towards the passage.
Outside the secret realm.
The sky was golden.
Qiao Sang took out her phone, checked the time, and found that it was almost time to get off work, so she turned her head and said:
"Accompany me to submit the task first."
"Everything listens to Senior Qiao!" Guo Ruiqi said immediately.
Qiao Sang turned to look at "Xu Gehong," and before she could speak, she heard the other party say:
"The reward can wait; I'll take you directly there first, I see you are in a hurry."
Qiao Sang was grateful:
"Thank you, I need to go to the third floor of the Beast Taming Center."
The ability of the Hidden Concealment Shield to find the secret realm exit in just over twenty minutes made her full of trust.
"Sleepy?"
The Sleepy Bird, which was still excited that it had finally come out, looked at Qiao Sang in disbelief, and then looked at the human who rented it.
What about it?
It wouldn't have to go with them, would it?
It was out of the secret realm, its task was completed!
The Sleepy Bird's eyes went black, and when the light returned, the scene before it had changed greatly.
Sleepy Bird: "..."
"I want to submit the task!" Qiao Sang pushed open the door and walked quickly into the assessment office.
"That's right, Senior Qiao helped me find the Lele Seed!" Guo Ruiqi walked in afterwards, holding the Lele Seed high and saying loudly.
A pet beast with a huge mouth sat at the desk and spoke human language:
"Identity card and Beast Taming Badge."
Qiao Sang quickly handed these two things over.
Half a minute later, the Mouth-Tongue Doll handed back the identity card and Beast Taming Badge and smiled:
"You are quite timely, passing the final assessment task on the last day; hurry up, there are only ten minutes left until the official registration deadline."
Qiao Sang was stunned: "Isn't the deadline August 26th?"
The Mouth-Tongue Doll looked at her: "Tomorrow is a rest day."
Qiao Sang: "!!!" ===== CHAPTER 937 =====
