Chapter 724: Ice Field Domain

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and asked, “Why?”

She remembered Charles had said the field exploration would take three days, but only one day had passed so far.

Charles looked complicated as he said, “Sand Land Dragon holds an unusual status in the Baizhi Mountains. If you’ve been targeted by it, staying here might attract pursuit from all the wild pet beasts.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang immediately recalled the just-encountered Araknis King and the Aurorima.

Their attitudes and positioning did indeed seem to take the Sand Land Dragon as their leader.

“Then let’s go quickly.” Qiao Sang didn’t dare delay a second longer.

Although the earlier encounter had led to Gangbao and Lubao evolving, she definitely didn’t want a repeat.

After all, with so many wild pet beasts around, encountering a few more psychic-type beasts capable of spatial lockdown wasn’t impossible.

Caro had no objections. She had come for points, and as long as leaving early wasn’t her fault, it wouldn’t affect her score much.

Charles nodded slightly and said to the nearby mechanical-type canine pet that had kept quiet the whole time: “You lead the way.”

Tracker Hound, a high-grade mechanical-type pet, could combine stored data in its brain and tracking capabilities to calculate the optimal route.

“Tracker.”

Tracker Hound took a step forward and was just about to begin determining direction.

At this moment, Qiao Sang said: “If we’ve already been targeted, walking like this is still too dangerous. Tell me the general direction outside the mountain range, and I’ll have Little Treasure perform a spatial shift to teleport us there.”

After spending a day together, both Charles and Caro naturally knew Qiao Sang had named her Ghost Ring King

Little Treasure

.

Charles hesitated for a moment. Instead of immediately agreeing, he cautiously asked: “What’s your Ghost Ring King’s proficiency level with spatial shift?”

To him, spatial shift was already a life-saving move in the wild. Using it repeatedly could easily lead to exhaustion. If the proficiency was low and the distance short, it might be better saved for a critical moment.

Proficiency levels were usually confidential among professional Beast masters, but since Qiao Sang had no major competition coming up, she didn’t mind.

“Ultimate.” She answered directly.

Caro was stunned.

Charles was silent for a long time, then picked up the screen to check something before pointing southwest.

“Move in that direction.”

Qiao Sang nodded at Little Treasure.

“Xun~”

Little Treasure let out a sound, his eyes glowing blue.

---

Thick mist shrouded the entire forest, drifting lightly like silk.

In the next second, a group of figures appeared out of thin air.

Various small and mid-sized wild pet beasts scattered in panic.

“Xun…”

Little Treasure was panting, looking extremely weak.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang surveyed the surroundings and asked, “Is this place safe?”

Charles glanced at the screen in his hand and smiled.

“It’s safe. We’re already in the outer ring of the Baizhi Mountains.”

“Then let’s rest a bit.” Qiao Sang suggested.

Just as Charles had mentioned earlier, she had already been targeted by the Sand Land Dragon. Even after several teleports, they were immediately surrounded upon landing. Little Treasure had no choice but to perform a spatial shift without precise positioning, consuming much more energy than expected.

Charles nodded.

“Alright.”

Caro took out a milky-white pear-shaped fruit from her backpack and handed it to Qiao Sang.

“Let your Ghost Ring King eat this to replenish energy.”

Qiao Sang accepted it and asked out of curiosity, “What is this?”

Caro paused, then remembered that Qiao Sang was from Blue Star and might not know about exotic fruits from Chaosu Star. She patiently explained: “It’s a Dome Fruit. It replenishes pet energy. The flesh is soft and sweet, almost all attribute pets love it.”

So it was called Dome Fruit…

Qiao Sang handed it to Little Treasure.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure grabbed it, took a big bite, and his eyes instantly lit up, showing an expression of delight.

Qiao Sang sat cross-legged under a tree and said, “I’ll meditate for a while. Call me when we’re ready to go.”

“Got it.” Charles nodded.

Yabao and Lubao came to her sides, one on the left and one on the right, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

Qiao Sang closed her eyes.

Outwardly meditating, her consciousness actually entered the Beast’s Codex.

The pages flipped.

Soon, she arrived at Lubao’s page.

---

Qiao Sang was first stunned by the two new traits, then overjoyed.

With Water Storage, she wouldn’t have to fear same-level water-type pets anymore, even late-stage Generals!

Once summoned from the Beast’s Codex, it could instantly change the weather to snow. While this was a dream-like trait for Coordinators due to aesthetics, it was also incredibly practical for professional Beast masters. Aside from the cold possibly weakening opponents, many ice-type pets fought better in snowy weather.

Take Lubao, for instance, her Aurora Screen could only be used during snow or hail.

With this trait, there was no need to waste time casting Snowfall before defending!

Qiao Sang, thrilled, continued looking down.

Blizzard, a high-level ice skill that unleashes a fierce blizzard at the opponent, possibly freezing them. It’s one of the rare offensive weather-type skills.

Not bad…

After noting that, her gaze landed on Gigantice Icicle.

She wasn’t surprised Lubao had this move, she had used it recently against the Araknis King.

Gigantice Icicle was a high-level ice skill that could summon a massive icicle to attack. At higher levels, the icicle could rival an iceberg…

Then Qiao Sang’s eyes fell on the words Ice Field Domain, and she paused.

It had been a long time since she’d encountered a skill she didn’t recognize…

But this one had to be powerful, any skill with

Domain

in its name was formidable.

This must be the bloodline skill Lubao awakened after using the Awakening Orb…

She would have to look it up later.

Qiao Sang’s eyes moved to the final skill and she became slightly dazed.

This evolution had granted Lubao four new skills…

She’d looked into this before, evolution often awakened new skills, and the number and level depended on the pet’s talent.

Three skills already signified excellent talent.

Every time Yabao and others evolved, they usually awakened three skills. Four was rare.

Not only had Lubao gained two new traits, she had also awakened four skills… Could this be related to the Water-type Awakening Orb?

Qiao Sang calmed herself and focused on the final skill.

Purification…

She wasn’t sure what it purified…

Though she was no longer a complete novice in beast mastery, some skills shared names but had different effects, a favorite trap for test-makers.

For example, Purification: Some purify negative effects. Some purify curses. Some purify dirty or toxic water.

She’d have Lubao test it later to find out which kind this was…

Qiao Sang thought as she flipped to the next page of the Beast’s Codex.

Gangbao’s info appeared.
