Chapter 416: Burp
Chapter 416: Burp
Qiao Sang looked towards the audience stands upon hearing this.
Almost every row in the audience stands had at least one Jade Python present.
Qiao Sang: "……"
She could swear there weren't this many yesterday!
The audience stands were bustling with noise and chatter.
Under normal circumstances, large familiars rarely appeared in the audience stands for any match, as they could obstruct the view of others and cause conflicts.
However, despite the many sizable Jade Pythons in the stands, everyone seemed to be getting along exceptionally well.
"Bro, your Jade Python looks a lot like the one in Qiao Sang's photos. It couldn't be…?"
"Hahaha, no, I rented this one specifically. Icechill gets so happy when it sees a Jade Python, right? The tickets were so hard to get, and I was worried its Beastmaster friend might not secure one for today. When Icechill comes on, it might mistake my rented Jade Python for its friend from a distance, and it would stay happy."
"Bro, you've got a heart of gold! Let's exchange contact info! I'm making a new friend here!"
"Friend, to be honest, is your Jade Python by any chance Icechill's old friend?"
"Didn't think I could hide it so well, but you've got me!"
In the sixth row of Zone D of the audience stands.
"Miss, where did you rent your Jade Python from? It looks just like the one in Qiao Sang's photos", a handsome young man asked.
Wei Ying replied coolly, "It's mine."
"Feifei." The Jade Python nodded.
The young man was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "Your rented Jade Python is quite cooperative."
Wei Ying remained silent.
The young man glanced at the Jade Python a few more times, finding it more and more similar. He couldn't help but ask again, "Where did you rent this Jade Python from?"
Wei Ying, growing impatient, said, "I already told you, it's mine."
"Don't be like that." The young man said, "If you tell me where you rented it from, I'll go rent one tomorrow, and I'll pay for you to rent it the day after. How about that? I'll even give you a cut."
The young man held up five fingers.
Wei Ying paused for a few seconds, then said, "I'll give you her contact information."
...
Time ticked by.
During this period, Xu Yixuan lost her match.
It was inevitable, as each group had at least two contestants with High-Class Beast Companions, and the top spot in the group could only be claimed by one of them.
Xu Yixuan's opponent was Qin Shuo from the Ancient Fog Region, whose High-Class Beast Companion was a Water-Type Le Tian Sea Lion. He won the match with little effort.
Xu Yixuan accepted the result calmly. After all, her goal was to secure a place in the top six of her group, which would ensure her advancement to the next round.
"Next, let's welcome Qiao Sang from the Yuhua Region and Chen Ye from the Ancient Fog Region to the stage!" Yi Ao announced excitedly.
The rousing background music started.
The entire venue erupted in excitement.
In the contestant area, a slightly chubby boy looked like he was about to cry upon hearing the announcement.
A sunny-looking boy beside him consoled him, "What's there to cry about? Even if you weren't up against Qiao Sang, you'd still face a contestant with a High-Class Beast Companion in another group. You'd lose a few matches no matter which group you were in."
"Idiot." The slightly chubby boy stood up and neatly adjusted his school uniform, saying, "Why would I cry about fighting Icechill? I'm excited! Excited!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light descended, and the slightly chubby boy appeared on the battlefield.
The sunny-looking boy: "……"
Chen Ye, a contestant from the Ancient Fog Region, had two Intermediate Beasts, one Water-Type and one Ice-Type. Qiao Sang looked at her distant opponent, and his basic information flashed through her mind.
The two stood at a distance, Chen Ye waving excitedly.
Trying to get close and lower my guard? Not a chance... Qiao Sang's face remained cold and detached.
The audience buzzed with excitement:
"This match has no suspense! Icechill will just tear through them!"
"Qiao Sang's opponent is from our Ancient Fog Region. It's his luck to face Icechill."
"Too bad he was born twenty years too early. If not, I would be the one standing across from Qiao Sang!"
Amidst the eager anticipation, Treasure Seeker appeared on the field.
"Seek... burp..."
Treasure Seeker couldn't control the burp that escaped.
The crowd fell silent for a moment before the noise erupted again:
"It's not Icechill..."
"Damn, I almost forgot Qiao Sang has three familiars..."
"Why didn't he send Icechill? A High-Class Beast Companion against an Intermediate Beast, it would have been a walk in the park!"
"What's the name of this familiar?"
"Not sure, but it looks like a Ghost-type Companion Beast."
"It's so small."
...
On the field.
It's not Icechill... Chen Ye's face was on the verge of tears.
This time, he really wanted to cry.
Muddy Python, with its extremely strong bite force and powerful jaws, could inflict severe injuries... Qiao Sang glanced at the medium-sized, blue-bodied familiar with a large mouth and exposed fangs, recalling its information.
"Seek!"
Treasure Seeker's expression turned serious.
Lulu evolved during a battle, and it felt it could do the same!
The battle began.
Treasure Seeker vanished first.
"Muddy waters..."
Muddy Python scanned its surroundings warily.
"Burp~"
Suddenly, a burp echoed from the front.
Muddy Python instinctively opened its mouth, and a powerful Water Jet shot toward the source of the sound.
At a distance of about a meter, the water sprayed onto a transparent figure.
There was no doubt that the figure was Treasure Seeker.
"Seek!"
Treasure Seeker, hit by the attack, retreated several meters and reappeared.
Seeing this, many in the audience stands burst out laughing:
"Hahaha! Getting caught because of a burp, that's a new one."
"Too funny, how much did it eat to burp like that?"
"I'm dying of laughter. This Ghost-type Companion Beast is so cute."
I was careless... I never thought the burp would expose its position. I should have made Treasure Seeker drink less... It's fragile and can't withstand another attack... Better to end this quickly... Qiao Sang's thoughts raced, and he called out:
"Shadow Control."
"Seek!"
Treasure Seeker raised its short toe, and the shadows on the ground began to writhe. In the next second, they shot rapidly toward Muddy Python's shadow.
"Black Water!" Chen Ye responded quickly.
He had researched Qiao Sang's information and knew that her Treasure Hunter Demon could use Shadow Control. While Black Water wasn't very powerful, it was the perfect counter!
Hearing its Beastmaster's command, Muddy Python opened its mouth and spewed a jet of dark, murky water.
The Black Water spread across the ground, merging with Muddy Python's shadow.
"Seek... burp~"
Treasure Seeker's movements didn't stop. It moved its short toe.
The shadow suddenly detached from the ground, transforming from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, like a black silk ribbon, and shot swiftly toward Muddy Python's position.
