The attack came without the slightest warning.
The womanâs face changed drastically, and she instinctively shouted, âDodge!â
The Howling Swallow immediately veered sideways, narrowly avoiding the direct attack of the wing blade.
However, the wing blade suddenly spun around from behind, reversing its trajectory and shooting toward it again.
Just as it was about to strike the Howling Swallow, an invisible force abruptly yanked it upward by over ten meters.
Qiao Sang seemed to sense something and turned her gaze forward to the right.
There, where there had previously been no one, a black-haired, blue-eyed, pale-skinned middle-aged man appeared, accompanied by a cat-like pet beast about two meters tall, predominantly white, with a crescent-shaped marking on its forehead.
At that moment, the feline pet beast was not only carrying the man on its back but also had glowing blue eyes, an indication of most psychic-type pet beasts using their abilities.
So there was another personâŠ
Qiao Sangâs heart tensed, but she remained calm.
Itâs not the number of enemies thatâs terrifying, itâs the ones watching from the shadows.
It seemed that this white feline pet beast was responsible for sealing the spaceâŠ
Qiao Sangâs gaze landed on it.
As if to confirm her thoughts, the familiar voice that had been speaking in the same tone as Little Treasure rang out again:
âLet me see⊠Moonlam, a high-level psychic-type pet beast. Its condition and power fluctuate with the moonâs phases. Itâs particularly lively on full moon nights, but during the day, when the moon isnât visible, it becomes lethargic and prefers to hide.â
âSince Moonlam is usually more active at night, its Beastmaster is likely strongest at night as well.â
âNot bad, not bad. Itâs daytime right now, beating it up will be a piece of cake.â
âMoonlaâŠâ
From a distance, Moonlam stared at Little Treasure, who was using the pet beast identifier, its expression darkening.
âXun Xun~â
Little Treasure noticed Moonlamâs gaze and grinned provocatively at it, but his body betrayed his caution, he carefully put the pet beast identifier back into his ring.
Just got it, wouldnât want to break it in a fightâŠ
âI canât believe you almost fell for a kidâs trick.â The man sneered.
The woman steadied herself, her face grim.
âDo she look like an ordinary child to you?â
The man fell silent.
He narrowed his eyes at Qiao Sang and said, âAttacking before exchanging even a few words, thatâs not a good habit.â
Qiao Sang asked, âWas the spatial lockdown Moonlamâs doing?â
The man hadnât expected the girl to ignore his words completely. He controlled his expression and forced a smile.
âThatâs right. With just the two of us, you couldnât possibly-â
Qiao Sang interrupted, âFocus fire!â
As soon as the words left her mouth, a blazing, spinning flame burst from Yabaoâs mouth.
Little Treasure raised two short toes on either side, unleashing two black shadows as dark as silk, which then split into four, then eightâŠ
Numerous shadows lashed out in a frenzy.
Gangbao trembled, and the feathers that had returned to her body transformed once more into purple blades, shooting forward in unison.
Fire, shadow, and purple blades, all three different-colored attacks converged toward Moonlam and the man.
The man: !!!
Damn
⊠His pupils shrank. There was no time to think. He shouted, âBarrier!â
âMoonla.â
Moonlamâs eyes flashed blue.
A transparent barrier, about three meters wide and long, materialized in front of it.
The flames and purple blades slammed into the barrier, causing it to ripple like water from the impact but no cracks appeared.
The woman watched from not far away and sneered, âI canât believe you almost fell for a kidâs trick.â
At that moment, the manâs face was as dark as could be.
He took a deep breath, about to speak when he saw several shadows bypass the barrier and strike at him from the sides.
Too fast
.
In the blink of an eye, the shadows wrapped tightly around him from head to toe.
Moonlam reacted swiftly, wrapping its tail around its bound Beastmasterâs legs to keep him from being completely dragged into the air.
However, Yabao and Gangbao continued their relentless assault. Moonlam had no choice but to maintain the barrier, unable to do anything else.
âHurry up and help!â The man shouted.
âI donât need you to tell me.â The womanâs hands formed seals as she spoke.
Qiao Sang caught her movement from the corner of her eye and called out, âLubao!â
Lubao leaped out of the backpack, landing directly on Qiao Sangâs head, and without hesitation, she unleashed a blast of freezing air toward the woman.
The temperature plummeted, and the white frost was visible to the naked eye.
The womanâs pupils shrank, and she hastened her hand seals.
A green star formation lit up in the air.
A round-bodied, predominantly purple pet beast slowly appeared.
But the moment it emerged, the cold air engulfed it completely.
Before it even had a chance to fully reveal itself, a thick layer of ice covered its body!
The frigid wind spread in a fan shape, pressing forward.
The Howling Swallow sensed danger and veered downward at full speed, barely dodging the freezing air.
The purple pet beast, now an ice block, plummeted.
The woman had no choice but to wave her hand, recalling it into her Beast Codex.
After doing so, she stared in stunned silence at the small, blue pet beast she had never seen before, barely the size of a beginner pet. Her mind couldnât process it.
What just happened?
How did this petâs icy wind instantly freeze her high-level pet?!
She was bewildered for only 0.1 seconds before her gaze locked onto the blue miniaturization ring on Lubaoâs body.
Then she understood everything.
This wasnât a beginner pet at all. It only looked small because of the ring!
What now? She still had one more high-level pet, but it was poison-type and couldnât move in the airâŠ
As for Dick, he had a general-rank ghost-type pet that could move in the air, but with his hands and feet bound, he couldnât even form a summoning sealâŠ
She had to find a way to free him.
Damn it, who carries all their pets summoned at once?!
Her mind raced, and finally, her gaze settled on the ghost-type pet she had never seen before.
A three-dimensional shadow control⊠It was small and unshrunk by a mini-ring, yet it was clearly not a low-level ghost-type petâŠ
I have to attack it first. Only then can Dick free his hands and summon his petâŠ
As she was strategizing, Qiao Sang scanned the surroundings.
She noticed that ever since Moonlam had set up the barrier, the spatial seal had disappeared.
Now, Little Treasure could use spatial shift againâŠ
But the enemy could still track her. If she moved a short distance and encountered more reinforcements, it would be troublesome.
These two, one was already restrained by Little Treasure's shadows, with only a high-level psychic-type pet left, the other seemed weak, unable to summon another airborne pet after losing the purple oneâŠ
Instead of running and letting them inform their organization, it was better to take them both down and hand them over to the police.
Qiao Sang came to a decision, sighed, and said, âI didnât want this either. But you showed up in front of me and wouldnât even tell me how youâre tracking me.â
With that, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
