Chapter 1187
“Master! Quickly stop it!” Qiao Sang cried urgently, turning her head.
Unable to recall the Beastmaster Codex and still wary of Treasure Seeker’s Shadow Penetration, Fangy could do nothing but pin her hopes on Teacher Mikala.
Yan Jiaou… Mikala suppressed her turbulent emotions and said,
“I understand.”
She glanced at Pengamei beside her.
Pengamei caught on instantly, vanishing from the ground and reappearing high above the crimson light.
“Pengpeng…”
But in the next breath, Pengamei’s face contorted with pain, her movements faltering.
Red’s flame brushed past her without hesitation, continuing its relentless ascent.
Gritting her teeth, Pengamei endured the agony, her eyes glowing blue as she stared upward.
A translucent barrier abruptly materialized, blocking the red light over a hundred meters above.
Yet before the crimson beam could strike, the barrier began burning away, pierced by holes like scalded parchment.
The flame abruptly veered, surging through the openings in the barrier, unstoppable as it rocketed skyward.
The semi-transparent barrier disintegrated entirely.
“Pengpeng…”
Pengamei teleported back to the ground, staggering with a pained expression.
Qiao Sang, Mikala, and Treasure Seeker stared, stunned, as Pengamei stumbled forward.
Her entire body was scorched—chest, face, wings, legs, back—all charred.
“How could this happen…” Qiao Sang’s face darkened.
Mikala looked equally grim.
“Xia Xia.”
At this moment, Xialala from the Colorful Bud spoke gravely,
“This is the power of the Sun. We can no longer approach from above.”
“Steel Chief.”
Steel Treasure translated solemnly.
“What about Fangy?!” Qiao Sang’s heart clenched. She raised her hand again—
Still no response. How was this possible…
“Why can’t I recall Fangy?!” she blurted out.
Mikala’s voice was heavy, “A beastmaster can’t control a beast through the Beastmaster Codex if the beast’s power exceeds theirs, if it’s under external control like Shadow Manipulation, or if the beast unleashes a surge of strength strong enough to resist the Codex’s energy.”
Instantly, Qiao Sang realized Fangy fit the last scenario.
Taking a deep breath, she steeled her gaze and declared, “Treasure Seeker, take me up there.”
Treasure Seeker and Pengamei couldn’t stop Fangy’s ascent. The only one who might succeed was Qiao Sang herself.
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker hesitated, shaking her head furiously.
No way! If Pengamei ended up burned like this, you’ll be reduced to ashes!
“It’ll be fine,” Qiao Sang reassured her. “I just need to bring Fangy back. As long as I have one breath left to return with it, Lulu can heal me.”
“Ice Emperor.”
Lulu’s eyes rarely showed such visible worry, but she nodded firmly, letting out a sharp call to pledge her commitment.
She wanted Fangy back safely, knowing full well she couldn’t talk her master out of this.
As Treasure Seeker recalled Big Brother Yabao, she gritted her teeth, ready to agree—when Xialala from the Colorful Bud interjected,
“Xia Xia.”
“Don’t worry. Li Ou Yasi will bring it back safely.”
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker eagerly translated, her voice brimming with relief.
Lulu and the others exhaled in unison.
Li Ou Yasi… Qiao Sang’s heart stirred. She looked up at the sky.
Blazing halos bathed the heavens, a single red dot inching toward the radiant core.
If anyone could bring Fangy back, it was undoubtedly Li Ou Yasi…
At that moment, high above—
Fangy gritted its teeth, surging upward.
Patches of fur had already burned away, but it charged ahead as though feeling no pain, climbing higher and higher.
The air around it blistered, hot enough to instantly carbonize anything.
The higher it rose, the more unbearable the heat became.
“Ya Ya!”
Soon, Fangy cried out in agony as half its fur vanished in an instant, its skin seared.
But defiance quickly returned to its eyes as it charged forward.
Finally, it spotted Li Ou Yasi’s shadow.
Li Ou Yasi, only about thirty meters in size, looked infinitesimally small against the Sun.
The scorching heat distorted its shadow as waves of solar energy surged into its body.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy cried joyfully through the pain.
“Lili!”
Li Ou Yasi looked down, his expression twisting with fury as he barked a curse.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy howled again, straining to accelerate.
“Lili!”
Li Ou Yasi froze, then cursed once more.
Suddenly, a crimson barrier materialized, cutting off Fangy’s path.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy slammed into the barrier—
Unscathed.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy yowled in desperation.
Li Ou Yasi focused on absorbing the Sun’s energy, ignoring it.
Bearing the lethal heat, Fangy glanced at Li Ou Yasi’s actions and seemed to grasp something. It began cultivating energy.
Instantly, solar power surged toward it, an overwhelming yet searing torrent flooding its body.
This power paled in comparison to what Li Ou Yasi absorbed.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy’s scream tore through the air as the energy poured in.
Hearing the commotion, Li Ou Yasi looked down.
Seeing the tiny creature’s reckless act, his expression shifted. He dropped the crimson barrier, opened his maw, and prepared to blast Fangy back down.
But as the barrier vanished, Fangy gazed at Li Ou Yasi’s astonished face and seemed to realize they were doing the same thing. It bared its teeth, calling out—
“Fangy!”
Then accelerated its absorption of solar energy.
The one who gave it the Li Huo Jing and the Fire Spirit Crystal sacrificed themselves by absorbing this energy—so Fangy would finish what they started!
As the barrier shattered, Fangy’s Solar absorption quickened, and Li Ou Yasi opened his mouth to strike—
“Crack!”
The Everstone, radiating blinding white light, split open with a sharp sound, then burned to ashes, scattering into nothingness.
Simultaneously, a dazzling white glow enveloped Fangy.
Li Ou Yasi paused, his jaw snapping shut as he halted mid-attack.
On the barren land below, Qiao Sang felt something and froze. Her worry instantly transformed into disbelief.
Steel Treasure sensed her master’s thoughts and shared her shock, abruptly looking upward.
But now, under the blinding halo, Fangy’s shadow had vanished—no red dot remained.
“Xunxun?”
Treasure Seeker noticed Qiao Sang’s change first, calling out anxiously. Was Big Brother Yabao in danger?
Qiao Sang inhaled deeply, murmuring,
“Fangy… has Evolved.”
Migala: “???”
Treasure Seeker: “???”
Lulu: “???”
Qingbao: “???”
“Tingting?” (End of Chapter)
