Chapter 1118: Chapter 848: Grinding Points (Two in One)_3
âThank you.â
âPut it on now. Weâll be entering the Wondrous Hair Scorpionâs territory soon,â Qiao Sang urged after noticing the VIP hadnât worn the wig for ages.
Lin Shi hesitated for a moment before handing the wig back. âWhy donât you wear it instead? It looks like you didnât prepare a wig either.â
The big shot didnât bring a wig⊠Yuan Jiewen suddenly saw an opportunity to show off and reached into his backpack to grab another one.
âWho says I didnât bring one,â Qiao Sang said, looking at Little Treasure Hunter. âTake it out.â
âXun Xun~â
Little Treasure Hunter removed a circular ring and quickly pulled out two wigs.
It handed the black one to its Beast Tamer and skillfully donned the pink afro wig onto itself.
Seeing this, Yuan Jiewen silently withdrew his hand from his backpack.
âHurry up and put it on,â Qiao Sang urged again. âYouâre the easiest target out of the three of us.â
The VIP only had a High-level Ningming Frog beside him, while Yuan Jiewen had a General-level Pet Beast, the Shell Blade Master. Most wild Pet Beasts preferred picking on the weakest target first.
Lin Shi paused for a moment before putting the red wig on his head.
Qiao Sang was satisfied.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a foul-smelling swamp.
Strands of hair in different colors floated on the surface, with black hair dominating the area. The depth below looked eerie, cold, scary, and revolting.
âBingâaiâŠâ
Lubao sniffed the air, displayed a disdainful expression, and extended his claws to zip the backpack closed just a bit more.
A few Little Hair Scorpions lay sideways by the edge of the swamp, staring intently at Qiao Sang and the group, along with the hair of Little Treasure Hunter, showing no trace of fear towards the intruders.
âBe careful. The Wondrous Hair Scorpions all stay in this swamp,â Yuan Jiewen cautioned.
âGloo gloo glooâŠâ
Just as he finished speaking, the surface of the swamp began to bubble and boil, with countless black bubbles exploding in the sludge.
A moment later, one by one, dark red Wondrous Hair Scorpions covered in disgusting-smelling hair sprang up, lunging directly towards the hair of Qiao Sang, the group, and even Little Treasure Hunter.
Yuan Jiewen quickly pulled wigs from his backpack and tossed them one by one outward.
The Wondrous Hair Scorpions charging at him immediately shifted direction, heading for the wigs instead.
Meanwhile, the Shell Blade Master beside him pressed its claw firmly to the ground.
A one-meter-thick column of water suddenly shot up from the ground, like a giant water whip slamming fiercely into the cluster of Wondrous Hair Scorpions surrounding the wigs.
âXun Xun~â
Little Treasure Hunter gleefully teleported rapidly between the Wondrous Hair Scorpions, dodging their strikes.
Lin Shi, unperturbed, took a step closer to Qiao Sang and said with a trembling voice:
âProtect me.â
Qiao Sang threw his own wig out, shouting, âScorching Wind!â
The Wondrous Hair Scorpions rushing towards them instantly turned and lunged at the wig instead.
âYa Ya!â
Yaobao opened its mouth wide, unleashing a scorching blast of fiery wind that immediately swept all the Wondrous Hair Scorpions in front of them into the inferno.
Though Yaobao had only trained Scorching Wind to the initial mastery stage, it was more than enough to deal with mid-level Pet Beasts.
âWondrous Hair!â
âWondrous Hair!â
The Wondrous Hair Scorpionsâ dark red coating instantly turned into bright red. They screamed wretchedly, falling back into the swamp like a crimson downpour.
âLittle Scorpion!â
The few Little Hair Scorpions that had been preparing for an attack on the sidelines were so startled that they stumbled clumsily into the swamp, rolling and scrambling to escape.
âBig shot, youâre incredible!â Yuan Jiewenâs eyes lit up, and he instinctively raised his hand to slap Qiao Sang on the shoulder.
Big shot? Talking to me? Qiao Sang gave him a glance.
Thinking the big shot was displeased with his gesture, Yuan Jiewen quickly retracted his hand and addressed practical matters. âNext, we just need to use Flight Type Pet Beasts to cross, but take care not to fly over ten meters in height. Otherwise, weâll easily attract attacks from other wild Pet Beasts.â
Lin Shi looked at Qiao Sang. âI donât have a Flight Type Pet Beast.â
Yuan Jiewen froze.
In the Zhongkong Region, almost everyone had at least one Flight Type Pet Beast. He had never imagined a comrade brought by the big shot wouldnât have one.
âItâs fine; weâll cross directly,â Qiao Sang said, then looked at Little Treasure Hunter. âTo the other side.â
âXun Xun~â
Little Treasure Hunter adjusted the crooked wig on its head and its eyes glowed blue.
In the next instant, the group found themselves on the opposite side of the swamp.
Spatial Movement? Yuan Jiewen froze, unable to resist asking:
âBig shot, why didnât we just teleport to the other side from the start?â
Because I needed to grind for points⊠Qiao Sang naturally accepted the âbig shotâ title and replied, âTeleporting right from the start wouldâve left us vulnerable to a rear attack by the Wondrous Hair Scorpions. Itâs better to eliminate them head-on first.â
Yuan Jiewen showed an enlightened expression, silently thinking that it seemed the big shotâs Spatial Movement couldnât cover too large a distance in one go.
