Chapter 1006: Chapter 805: The Curse of the King Level Pet Beast (7000)_4

The atmosphere grew heavy in an instant.

The Grass Candle Monster, known to roam at night singing songs—hearing its melody means you’ll be cursed… Qiao Sang recalled the Grass Candle Monster’s profile, her heart skipping a beat:

Could she already be cursed…?

The surrounding staff clearly shared her anxiety.

After a brief silence, their expressions turned frantic:

“Are we cursed?”

“No way, it seems like the Grass Candle Monster didn’t even finish singing a phrase…”

“Don’t scare me, a curse from a King-level Pet Beast—I can’t handle that, I’m still so young…”

“This should count as workplace injury! The organization should bring in a Pet Beast skilled at breaking curses for us!”

“I need to ask, what type of curse power does the Grass Candle Monster have?”

“No idea! I haven’t seen anything like it in books!”

“Could it be that all the people who were cursed by the Grass Candle Monster just… disappeared, so there’s no detailed record…”

“Ah! Stop scaring me!”

“Alright, alright, calm down. Finish cleaning up the aftermath first,” Aqiel spoke up.

As a Beast Tamer with a King-level Pet Beast, his voice carried undeniable authority.

The group stopped their chatter and quickly began working.

Aqiel surveyed the scene, his gaze finally landing on a black-haired girl in the distance. He smiled and stepped forward.

“Crack…”

At that moment, a sound like something breaking filled the air.

All eyes shot upward in response, each face quickly drained of color, replaced by dread.

High overhead, the Barrier had broken again!

In an instant, various flying Pet Beasts eagerly swooped down from the heights.

Aqiel’s expression darkened; he halted his steps.

What the hell is going on—could this really be the curse’s power? Qiao Sang’s face changed.

“Ya Ya!”

Yaobao continuously spewed flames at the incoming wild Pet Beasts.

“Xun Xun!”

Little Xunbao employed its three-dimensional Shadow Control, binding one wild Pet Beast after another.

“Bing’ai…”

The earlier Ice Heaven Domain had drained Lubao’s energy substantially. It instinctively conserved energy, switching to the less consuming Water Gun attack.

“Gangzhan.”

Compared to Yaobao and the others, Gangbao appeared more outmatched.

It attacked using Feather Blades.

Hundreds of purple blade-like feathers relentlessly struck at the approaching wild Pet Beasts.

Initially, it managed some defense, but soon, several wild Pet Beasts broke through the feather barrage, advancing fiercely.

Gangbao had no choice but to transform its entire body into a glossy iron-gray hue, deploying Iron Wall for defense.

Occasionally feeling stabs of pain, Qiao Sang’s thoughts took a turn as she looked toward Gangbao, asking in her mind:

[Should we retreat?]

[Gangzhan.] Gangbao stood firm, responding mentally:

No.

It refused to retreat to safety just because of a little pressure.

Yaobao and the others were still fighting—why should it pull back?

It might be weaker than Yaobao and the rest, but it knew that to grow stronger, pain was inevitable. True strength isn’t forged within comfort zones.

Luckily, it had been focusing on practicing defense lately… Qiao Sang watched Gangbao’s stubborn silhouette and felt both relieved and proud.

Motivation in a Pet Beast always bodes well.

If she and Gangbao faced a few more battles like this, maybe one day it could master the Diamond Indestructible Body…

Suddenly, Qiao Sang’s thoughts froze as she spotted something. She shouted:

“Dodge!”

High above, a turquoise streak as swift as a meteor descended with extraordinary force, targeting Gangbao.

In merely a glance, Qiao Sang deduced from its aura and size that this was a General-level Pet Beast.

While Yaobao and the others had no fear in facing a General-level Pet Beast, Gangbao absolutely had to evade—it couldn’t collide with it head-on.

In an instant, the turquoise streak collided into Gangbao’s body.

The speed was so rapid that dodging proved impossible.

Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, but the anticipated pain didn’t come.

She understood something, raising her gaze to higher ground.

Above, two identical Gangbaos materialized in mid-air.

Qiao Sang froze for a moment before joy swept over her.

Doppelganger!

Gangbao had mastered Doppelganger!

Given how Yaobao and the others had recently quickly learned high-level skills—even awakened super-level skills—something like a mid-level skill shouldn’t surprise her anymore.

But Gangbao had spent an inordinate amount of time learning Doppelganger.

Even consulting the Spirit Rune Academy’s headmaster to inscribe a Spirit Mark boosting its comprehension.

To ensure its best chance at learning Doppelganger, it had refused any cosmetic grooming during its visit to the Pet Beast Beauty Salon. Gangbao only accepted massages, rejecting any styling that might damage the Spirit Mark indelibly engraved upon its body.
