Chapter 1143: Pengamei vs. Slagglacial Spirit
Chapter 1143: Pengamei vs. Slagglacial Spirit (Combined)
"Teacher, did you see that?" Qiao Sang asked with a serious expression.
She had been facing away from the Ice Sea and hadn’t seen the entire incident. When she turned around, she only saw the frozen Treasure Seeker falling into the sea and the water slowly closing over it.
"There might be a powerful familiar in the sea", Migala said in a low voice.
She had turned around when she felt a chill and saw the same scene of Treasure Seeker falling downward.
"Qingqing!"
Qingbao, with a "I saw it" expression, called out and started gesturing to describe the familiar.
It had been startled when it saw the familiar at the bottom of the sea. By the time it reacted, Treasure Seeker had already turned to ice and was falling. Before it could do anything, its Beastmaster had already recalled Treasure Seeker into the Beastmaster Codex. Honestly, it had breathed a huge sigh of relief. Although it sometimes found Treasure Seeker annoying, it never wanted anything to happen to them.
"Qingqing!"
"Qingqing!"
Qingbao felt very upset at the thought of someone trying to harm Treasure Seeker. It was blowing wind and gesturing frantically, hoping its Beastmaster would catch the culprit and give them a good beating.
Your gestures are too abstract... Qiao Sang tried to understand Qingbao's gestures but couldn’t make sense of them.
Migala, similarly, couldn’t understand. She didn’t wait for Qingbao to finish gesturing and instead gave Pengamei a meaningful look.
Pengamei understood and teleported to the spot where Treasure Seeker had fallen, her eyes glowing with a blue light.
The seawater immediately churned violently, torn apart by an invisible force, revealing the bottom.
Qiao Sang and Migala looked down but saw nothing.
"Qingqing!"
Qingbao called out, indicating that the culprit must have escaped. It was definitely here just a moment ago!
Pengamei's blue light faded.
The sea slowly closed back together.
Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment, then formed a seal. The luxurious and mysterious Purple Star Array suddenly lit up.
Soon, the frozen Treasure Seeker appeared inside the Star Array.
It still had a look of terror on its face.
The time spent in the Beastmaster Codex hadn’t melted the ice cube that had frozen it.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy approached Treasure Seeker, opened its mouth, and was about to breathe fire to melt the ice cube.
"Wait!" Qiao Sang stopped it in time. "Let Lulu do it."
Fangy closed its mouth, and the flame in its mouth disappeared.
Without a word, Lulu's gem on its forehead glowed with a cobalt blue light, shining on Treasure Seeker.
Soon, the ice cube melted, and Treasure Seeker floated up, looking around in terror.
"Xunxun!"
"It's okay now", Qiao Sang reassured it quickly.
Treasure Seeker turned to look at its Beastmaster, its eyes welling up with tears. It immediately threw itself into Qiao Sang's arms and burst into tears.
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun!"
It was so scared!
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao, seeing this, felt a pang of sympathy for Treasure Seeker.
"Tingting?"
At this moment, Tingbao woke up from the crying and, seeing Treasure Seeker’s state, instantly became alert, looking surprised and calling out, "Leader, what happened?"
"Xunxun."
Leader? Treasure Seeker’s ears perked up, and it immediately stopped crying. It sniffed and turned to show a brave expression, calling out to indicate that Leader was fine.
Qingbao: "..."
Qiao Sang: "..."
"Tingting?"
Tingbao was still very confused and called out again.
Why were you crying just now?
"Xunxun."
Treasure Seeker stiffened, then called out, indicating that it hadn’t been crying and that Tingbao must have heard wrong.
"Tingting..."
Did I hear wrong... Tingbao fell into self-doubt.
"What did the familiar that froze you look like?" Qiao Sang, seeing that Treasure Seeker had stopped crying, wasted no time in asking.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker quickly called out.
It was a Slagglacial Spirit!
Qiao Sang was taken aback and felt a chill. She confirmed, "You mean a Slagglacial Spirit?"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker nodded and called out, indicating that it had seen the information about the Slagglacial Spirit when Qiao Sang was researching it yesterday. It looked exactly like that.
It seems the Slagglacial Spirit is indeed on this island... Qiao Sang's face was filled with seriousness as she looked at Teacher Mikara.
Migala asked in a low voice, "Do you want to keep searching, or go back now?"
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, "I want to keep searching."
In the past, out of caution, she would have chosen to go back. But now, with her increased experience, she understood that one cannot grow by always playing it safe. Moreover, the person with the Pure Night Stone had given her only a month, and the Slagglacial Spirit might leave the island at any time. If it stayed for a month, she couldn't just wait without searching.
Of course, the most important reason was that Teacher Mikara was with her.
With such a powerful ally, she shouldn't end up in danger.
"Steel Chief..."
When Steel Treasure heard the first part of the Beastmaster's thoughts, they were somewhat impressed. But as soon as the second part appeared, Steel Treasure's initial emotion vanished, and they wore a "I knew it" expression.
"I understand." Migala said, glancing at Pengamei and adding, "Bring out the Slagglacial Spirit."
Huh? Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment.
Migala looked at Qiao Sang and said calmly, "Let me teach you something: always keep the situation under your control."
If the Slagglacial Spirit never appeared, it would be one thing. But now that it had shown up and attacked the Night Ring King, and the Night Ring King was unharmed, she didn't believe the Slagglacial Spirit would stop there.
A hidden Imperial Beast was far more terrifying than one in plain sight.
Before Qiao Sang could react, Pengamei teleported above the water, their eyes glowing with a cobalt blue light.
In the next second, the sea began to boil and surge, waves towering like an angry giant, carrying the strength to destroy everything, roaring in the ocean.
The seawater rushed towards the shore with overwhelming force.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy reacted quickly, growing to about ten meters in size, transforming into a red light, and swiftly carrying Qiao Sang and Lulu on its back as it flew into the air.
Migala stepped into the air beside Qiao Sang and looked down.
Qiao Sang watched the scene below, which resembled a natural disaster, and swallowed hard. "Is this caused by Psychic Power?"
Migala smiled and nodded, "Don't worry. When Yan Jiaou and the Night Ring King reach Imperial Rank, they'll be able to do this too."
Hearing this, Qiao Sang's heart raced, daydreaming about Fangy and Treasure Seeker making the sea surge with a mere thought.
Just as she was daydreaming, the sea suddenly stopped roaring and surged, returning to its original calm and mysterious state.
Then, several familiars with predominantly blue and white bodies emerged from the water, glaring up at the sky.
"Hiss."
Pengamei's expression remained unchanged as they called out.
An invisible sound wave rippled across the sea.
"Crackle!"
Suddenly, a chilling call pierced the water, echoing repeatedly on the surface.
The wild beast companions in the sea scattered, leaving a large open space.
The seawater in that area began to boil and then exploded, forming a massive whirlpool that sucked everything in.
The seawater continued to spin.
From the swirling whirlpool, a massive body, several dozen meters long, suddenly burst out of the water, causing the surrounding waves to surge violently, and many wild beast companions were swept away by the waves.
The Slagglacial Spirit... Qiao Sang looked at the familiar with a pale blue body, deep, mysterious eyes, and a dense covering of white stripes, and felt a chill run down her spine.
Treasure Seeker hadn't been wrong; the Slagglacial Spirit was indeed here...
"Crackle!"
With a flash of thought, the Slagglacial Spirit roared, and an oppressive aura descended.
"Fangy!"
Fangy tensed, struggling to keep from retreating.
"Xunxun!" Treasure Seeker felt the pressure but wasn't as affected. It teleported to Qiao Sang's side and let out a loud cry, indicating that it was indeed the Slagglacial Spirit.
The overwhelming aura made Lulu and the others shiver, and they remained silent.
Tingbao reacted the most strongly, trembling uncontrollably on Fangy's back.
Qiao Sang's body tensed, her heart racing. Despite this, she noticed Tingbao's condition and raised her hand.
Just as she was about to return Tingbao to the Beastmaster Codex, Pengamei stepped in front of Fangy.
The oppressive pressure instantly vanished.
"Tingting..."
Tingbao gasped for breath, as if coming back to life.
Qiao Sang stopped her action, took a deep breath, and asked calmly, "What do we do now?"
Meaning, the Slagglacial Spirit is out; Teacher, take action!
Migala didn't disappoint her, saying, "Of course, we fight."
"Crackle!"
As the words left her mouth, the Slagglacial Spirit roared again.
Instantly, a freezing cold current, as if from the coldest depths of the earth, surged through the air.
In just a second, Qiao Sang and Fangy were frozen solid, turning into ice sculptures.
Migala, Pengamei, and the Dragon King suffered the same fate.
"Trash."
The Slagglacial Spirit sneered, its expression full of disdain.
Its gaze fell on the frozen figures of Lulu, Treasure Seeker, and Qingbao.
Before it could make a move, an invisible force erupted from Pengamei, and the ice shells encasing them shattered, turning into crystals that fell to the ground.
At such a distance, to freeze everything so quickly... Qiao Sang felt a chill, once again experiencing the power of an Imperial Beast firsthand.
The Slagglacial Spirit turned to Pengamei, opening its mouth, and a Cobalt Blue Light bloomed in its throat.
A staggering water jet burst forth, thicker than Fangy's body by several times.
Qiao Sang's face changed at the sight of the massive water pillar.
Fangy suppressed the urge to attack and teleported to a higher position.
After the battle with the True Dai Bird, it was acutely aware of the gap in strength between itself and an Imperial Beast. If it were alone, it might have fought, but with its Beastmaster and Lulu on its back, it couldn't afford to take risks.
Migala hovered beside Pengamei, her expression calm.
The Dragon King's eyes flashed, ready to engage in battle at any moment.
The water pillar, carrying a destructive force, surged upward.
Before the Dragon King could act, Pengamei's eyes glowed with a blue light.
The massive water pillar suddenly halted and then exploded in the sky, raining down like a torrent.
"Trash!"
The Slagglacial Spirit's face remained unchanged, but it called out with a commanding voice.
The calm sea roiled again, and countless water pillars rose from the water, rushing skyward with overwhelming force.
At the same time, Pengamei vanished and reappeared beside the Slagglacial Spirit, its wings glowing with a brilliant white light.
The white light extended to several meters in length and sliced toward the Slagglacial Spirit, which was now only a centimeter away.
The Slagglacial Spirit's pupils narrowed, and it emitted a freezing chill aura.
Pengamei's body was instantly encased in a thick layer of ice.
But as Pengamei's wings swept across, the ice shell shattered and disappeared.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion.
The massive cutting blade struck the Slagglacial Spirit with force.
"Trash!!!"
The Slagglacial Spirit let out a painful roar, its body shaking violently.
The sea also churned with the force of its movement.
The ice shell on Pengamei's body also vanished.
"Explode." Migala commanded from the sky.
Pengamei teleported above the Slagglacial Spirit and opened its mouth.
But before it could concentrate its energy, a hundred-meter-high tidal wave, carrying a terrifying force, surged toward Pengamei.
Qiao Sang and Fangy, watching from above, were unable to control their expressions, their eyes filled with shock.
Pengamei's expression finally changed, and it teleported to a higher position.
When it reappeared, its expression had returned to calm.
The tidal wave devoured everything in its path.
The Slagglacial Spirit's shadow was also swallowed.
When the wave dissipated, the Slagglacial Spirit was nowhere to be seen.
The sea returned to its calm.
This is what a battle between Imperial Beasts is like... Qiao Sang took a deep breath, struggling to calm her turbulent emotions.
She had seen Imperial Beasts battle on TV, but watching it in person was a different experience altogether.
While she had seen Pengamei's battle with the True Dai Bird before, that was just a brief exchange. This, however, was a true battle.
"Fangy." Qiao Sang exhaled slowly, calming her emotions. "Let's go down."
"Fangy."
Fangy seemed dazed, still immersed in the battle.
"Fangy." Qiao Sang called again.
Fangy finally snapped out of it and teleported to Migala's side.
"Did the Slagglacial Spirit flee?" Qiao Sang asked.
Migala observed the sea and said, "It seems so. We should search now; after taking that hit, it won't reappear for a while."
She paused and added, "Unless it's a complete fool."
Qiao Sang's eyes brightened, and she nodded. "Understood."
"Drift!"
As if on cue, the Drifting Snow Lion, which had jumped into the sea, suddenly surfaced, its expression excited.
