Chapter 134: Flame Body
Chapter 134: Flame Body
Treasure Seeker followed the scent from the house into the courtyard.
Qiao Sang got up and followed, quite curious about what smell could be so appealing to Treasure Seeker.
The familiar, whose ears moved like flowing water, immediately sensed someone approaching.
In the next second, the two Water Bubbles hanging from its nostrils burst, and it leaped into the water that had splashed out from Spark's attack, dissolving completely and vanishing.
If you looked closely, you would notice that the small puddle of water had expanded slightly.
"Seek?"
Treasure Seeker stopped.
Huh? The scent is gone?
Unwilling to give up, Treasure Seeker sped up and drifted outside the courtyard, sniffing around.
"Seek..." It tilted its head, looking puzzled.
It's really gone...
Qiao Sang came to Treasure Seeker's side and looked around. Apart from the 15 Flame Listeners, there was nothing else.
Could Treasure Seeker have smelled something from outside the wall?
If so, its sense of smell seems to have improved quite a bit.
Qiao Sang suddenly realized that tomorrow was Treasure Seeker's Full Moon. It seemed she could start training with Fangy.
Treasure Seeker was still regretting the loss of the pleasant scent, unaware that its days of lying around lazily were about to end...
10:33 PM.
Qiao Sang, after her bath, lay in bed and looked at the data in the Beastmaster Codex.
Spark (Mastery 15532/20000), this was the first time Fangy had undergone prolonged skill usage training after evolving into a Flame Listener.
Without using an F-Class Energy Recovery Serum, each of the 15 clones could use Spark 60 times on average, directly boosting its proficiency by 900.
This wasn't even the limit. If Fangy hadn't been multitasking, with part of its focus on the TV, the proficiency gain could have been even higher.
Qiao Sang focused her mind, and the Beastmaster Codex flipped to the page about Treasure Seeker.
[Level: Junior (255/1000) +]
Treasure Seeker was different from Fangy. Perhaps due to its high talent, it automatically gained 3 points per day in Level, and its Focus Bead increased by 5 points, just like the Fire Condensing Pearl.
After drinking the Gloom Essence last time, Treasure Seeker gained 40 points in Level. This resulted in it accumulating over 200 points in a month without any training.
If left alone to play, it would evolve into an Intermediate Beast Treasure Hunter Demon in three months.
This was the benefit of having high talent and abundant resources.
If one had low talent and poor resources, even with intense training for a month, they might not reach Treasure Seeker's current level.
Qiao Sang's gaze moved down.
[Skills: Lick (Novice 1/100) +, Hypnosis (Novice 1/100) +, Dream Eater (Novice 1/100) +, Barrier (Novice 1/100) +, Psychic Power (Novice 23/100) +, Teleport (Novice 11/100) +]
Treasure Seeker currently had six skills. Apart from Dream Eater, the other skills could be practiced without a target.
After a long look, Qiao Sang decided to focus on practicing Hypnosis, Dream Eater, and Psychic Power first.
She prefers attacking over defending.
Combining Hypnosis with Dream Eater is already a set of Skills that can frustrate opponents, and with Psychic Power controlling, it's hard to find a match among familiars of the same rank.
However, the Dream Eater needs a target to work.
Who should she practice on...
...
August 6th.
It was the Full Moon for the Treasure Seeker.
Qiao Sang was jolted awake by a series of shrill cries.
"What's happening! What's happening!" Qiao Sang sat up abruptly, feeling her heart skip a beat.
Is the house on fire or something!
"Yah!!!"
Qiao Sang followed the sound and saw Fangy standing by the bed, drenched and looking up with tears streaming down her face.
Seeing that Qiao Sang was awake, Fangy's lower lip trembled, and her cries abruptly stopped. In the next second, her eyes welled up with even more tears, and she cried even more pitifully.
"Yah!!!"
"Yah!!!"
Qiao Sang was stunned; she had never seen Fangy cry so miserably before...
She tried to piece together what had happened.
"You mean you woke up and found yourself completely wet?"
"Yah!"
Fangy nodded, looking utterly miserable.
Qiao Sang fell into deep thought. Fangy doesn't sleepwalk, so it's impossible for her to play with water while unconscious.
Of course, it's even more impossible for her to play with water while awake.
Treasure Seeker, though mischievous, wouldn't pull such a prank.
Even if Fangy had wet the bed, it wouldn't be realistic for her to get entirely soaked.
Since none of these scenarios fit, where did the water come from?
Qiao Sang thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She turned to the Treasure Seeker and asked, "Did you see what happened?"
The Treasure Seeker, who doesn't like sleeping, might have seen something.
"Xun."
The Treasure Seeker shook its head while drinking milk.
It saw nothing.
"Yah!!!"
Fangy's ears drooped, and she looked utterly dejected.
Qiao Sang understood Fangy's state of mind. Fangy hates water, and normally, being prepared and conscious while touching water isn't a big deal.
But waking up to find herself drenched in something she detests could be enough to make her break down.
It's like how some people hate cockroaches. They would avoid them at all costs when awake, but if they woke up to find cockroaches all over them, they would likely have a breakdown.
That said, seeing Fangy mope because of the water made Qiao Sang find it a bit amusing.
"Fangy, you have Flame Body now. You can dry yourself off with it", Qiao Sang said helplessly.
"Yah..."
Fangy's miserable cries suddenly stopped, and she stared at her Beastmaster in disbelief. Then she tried to feel it out.
In the next moment, the red stripes on her body and the red fur on her paws burst into flames, engulfing her entire body.
Soon, the flames dissipated, and a dry, smooth-furred Flame Listener stood before Qiao Sang.
Flame Body can be activated at any time, though it needs to be triggered by an attack or when an opponent is close to have a chance of causing burn damage.
But that doesn't stop her from using Flame Body for everyday purposes.
"Yah!"
Fangy excitedly spun around, looking at herself.
The water was gone!
But soon, she fell into a new confusion.
Why didn't her Beastmaster tell her that Flame Body could be used this way a few days ago when she took a bath...
Qiao Sang could tell what Fangy was thinking from her expression.
She felt a bit guilty. She had simply forgotten...
To avoid Fangy dwelling on this, Qiao Sang cleared her throat and said, "Try using Sensitivity to see if you can recall what happened to the water on your body."
Sensitivity allows one to sense past events by touching people or objects.
She had always wanted to test this properly but hadn't found the right opportunity at school.
"Yah!"
Fangy nodded seriously, immediately forgetting what she had just been thinking about.
