Chapter 324: Walk into the Trap
Chapter 324: Walk into the Trap
Lei Lei: "???"
If you weren’t going to agree, why did you respond just now?!
Are you messing with me?!
Lei Lei’s forehead twitched, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his fists clenched tightly.
He was all set to slack off, but now he suddenly felt a strong urge to fight!
Looking at the guy’s expression, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but touch his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.
High school students are just too innocent...
As soon as the Familiar appeared, the ground sank, transforming into an artificial arena with a small pond.
It’s more like a pond in appearance than an actual pond.
Originally, it was just a large pit, but the low terrain caused water to collect, and the dark blue material at the bottom made it look much deeper.
The pond took up most of the space, leaving limited room for movement on the ground.
Normally, such a venue would greatly restrict the movement of non-Water-type Companion Beasts.
However, the two combatants were a Ghost-type Companion Beast and a Flying Beast, neither of which needed to touch the ground.
In the audience stands, where the schools were gathered.
"Your school’s Vice Principal is an A-Class Breeder, right? Why didn’t he take a look at this Treasure Seeker? Look at how scrawny it is", the Coach from Chongzhou Beastmaster High School teased.
After spending some time with the Treasure Seeker, Sun Boyi had gotten used to its size.
Hearing the other party’s comment, he looked up at the Treasure Seeker’s round, plump belly floating in the air.
Scrawny?
The Coach from Chongzhou Beastmaster High School, seeing the other side’s silence, took it as an admission and felt a bit more at ease.
He had watched Qiao Sang’s match videos and deeply analyzed the gap between their schools, knowing that they had little chance of winning.
Even if they couldn’t win, being able to get a few jabs in was satisfying.
Just then, a voice came from behind: "If even a scrawny one can beat you, imagine how badly you’d lose to a normal-sized one."
The Coach from Chongzhou Beastmaster High School turned around angrily.
Who the heck said that?
Can you just go around saying such harsh truths?!
"Principal, how did you get here?!" Sun Boyi turned around in surprise.
Principal? The Principal of Holy Water High School?!
The Coach from Chongzhou Beastmaster High School instantly put on a smiling face: "It’s the Principal! I should have known. Your voice is so distinctive. How did you find the time to come watch the match?"
Wang Weidou said calmly, "The National School Beastmaster League is held once a year. No matter how busy I am, I have to come and watch."
To watch Qiao Sang, of course. Last time during the preliminary round, it was fine since the venue was still in Hanggang, but I didn’t expect him to follow all the way to Hongrao Town this time... Sun Boyi inwardly grumbled but didn’t say anything, instead asking:
"Why didn’t you let us know you were coming? We could have come together."
Wang Weidou, who was uncomfortable with the bus ride, said with a straight face: "I didn’t want to put pressure on the students. This is their last National School Beastmaster League, so it’s better not to disturb them."
Sun Boyi, who knew his Principal’s nature, felt something was off, but the Coach from Chongzhou Beastmaster High School was moved.
No wonder Holy Water High School has always been the top Beastmaster High School in Hanggang City. It turns out their Principal is so considerate of the students!
While they were chatting, the match on the field had already started.
Lei Lei’s Wind Carver took the initiative, moving at a speed almost impossible to see with the naked eye, and charged at the Treasure Seeker.
Just as it was about to collide, the Treasure Seeker’s mouth twitched, and it disappeared from sight, its Invisibility activated.
Logically, Ghost-type Companion Beasts, even when Invisibile, should still be vulnerable to attacks if hit at their location.
But Wind Carver missed.
This meant that Treasure Seeker not only became Invisibile but also moved to another position to dodge the attack.
Its reaction speed was just too fast; it was indeed a tough opponent.
Lei Lei's heart sank. Just as she was about to speak, several black, silk-like shadows appeared in the air, heading straight for Wind Carver!
"Attack the shadows!" Lei Lei, with her extensive combat experience, quickly made a decision.
Instead of continuously dodging Shadow Control, she decided to bet on Wind Carver's speed to evade the shadows and strike Treasure Seeker!
"Whistle!"
Hearing her command, Wind Carver spread its wings and flew straight toward the approaching shadows.
Wind Carver darted through the shadows at an astonishing speed, almost instantly reaching the middle of the black mass!
At that moment, a green light condensed around it, and its speed increased even further as it rapidly approached the front of the shadows.
The spectators gasped in unison.
"Wind Carver truly lives up to its reputation for speed! This is incredible!"
"This looks like a Brave Bird Assault. If this hits Treasure Seeker, the match will be over."
"Wind Carver has a natural speed advantage, and it's clear this particular Wind Carver has undergone professional speed training. I bet its Beastmaster has spent a lot of time on speed training."
"Hey, nephew, what are those black things? They look pretty scary", a spectator asked.
"Shadow Control", the boy beside him replied.
"What's Shadow Control?" the man asked, confused.
"It's a skill used for controlling shadows. Only High-Class Companion Beasts can learn such advanced skills", the boy explained.
The man was shocked. "Goodness! That small familiar is a High-Class Companion Beast?!"
"No, it's an Intermediate Beast", the boy said, his eyes glowing as he watched the sky.
An Intermediate Beast learning an Advanced Skill—such a Treasure Seeker, he didn't believe it would lose!
In mid-air, Wind Carver, enveloped in a green glow, was almost a blur. The black shadows couldn't keep up with its speed.
As Wind Carver was about to reach Treasure Seeker, Qiao Sang calmly said, "Form Net."
"Seek~"
Treasure Seeker appeared, its claws controlling the shadows as they crossed in front of it.
The black shadows quickly retracted and formed a dense black net in front of it.
"Quick, dodge!" Lei Lei's heart raced as she shouted, watching the situation closely.
But it was too late.
Wind Carver, enveloped in green light, collided head-on with the black net.
The black net, under the strong impact, jolted forward, outlining Wind Carver's shape.
"Whistle!"
The black net, resilient and unbroken, quickly extended and tightened, trapping Wind Carver inside.
Treasure Seeker appeared on the other side, its claws controlling the net, and let out a cackling laugh.
However, the next moment, Treasure Seeker's face changed, and it quickly dropped the net holding Wind Carver.
"Xunxun!"
This thing is so heavy!
Below was the pond.
Just as the black net touched the water, Treasure Seeker released its claws, and the net holding Wind Carver fell into the pond.
"Xunxun."
Treasure Seeker panted, clutching its chest.
That was scary; it almost fell in too.
The field fell silent. After a few seconds, someone finally spoke:
"This, this is called walking into a trap, right?"
