Chapter 42: Unexpected Reinforcements
Chapter 42: Unexpected Reinforcements
Earlier, Liu Changfeng had mentioned sending out a distress signal, so Li Qian knew that reinforcements would arrive soon.
He had assumed that the support would come from the Lingwater City Public Security Bureau, perhaps even Zhou Weiping, whom he had met before.
However, to his surprise, someone arrived even before the Public Security Bureau's reinforcements.
And this person was none other than his former mentor, Gao Yahxin.
Wasn't she an Intermediate Breeder?
Could she also be a combat-type Beastmaster? At that moment, by her side stood a white fox.
The white fox was significantly larger than an ordinary fox, almost the size of a calf.
On its forehead, there was a peculiar vertical red mark.
This made the white fox appear even more mystical.
This white fox was the "Phantom Fox" that Gao Yahxin had just mentioned.
The Phantom Fox, a rare pet beast, was a creature Li Qian had learned about in his pet beast knowledge class from Teacher Lv Xinmin.
It possessed a rather uncommon Psychic-type attribute.
The "Psychic Control" attack it had just used was a psychic skill, and its target was the Broad-beaked Eagle that Li Qian was facing.
As the Broad-beaked Eagle fell under the influence of the Phantom Fox's Psychic Control, the Elite 8th Rank eagle plummeted straight down from mid-air like a wooden log.
Bang!
Unerringly, the Broad-beaked Eagle landed on the dam not far from Li Qian.
Instinctively, Li Qian looked over and immediately noticed that the Broad-beaked Eagle's eyes were spinning in circles.
"Hiss..."
Witnessing this scene, Li Qian couldn't help but gasp in shock.
With just a simple Psychic Control skill, the Elite 8th Rank Broad-beaked Eagle had been instantly defeated.
That Psychic-type Phantom Fox was at least Overlord Rank.
Gao Yahxin's strength exceeded his expectations.
"Sister Gao!"
After regaining his composure, Li Qian didn't know what to say, so he instinctively called out.
"Quickly!"
Gao Yahxin gave an order to the Phantom Fox, which transformed into an afterimage and rushed forward, its target being the Cultist and the Gale Wolf.
Seeing the Phantom Fox rushing to support Qizi and Fire Dog, Li Qian felt a sense of relief.
"Little Junior Brother, you really have surprised me!"
Ignoring the Phantom Fox that had rushed to support Qizi and Fire Dog, Gao Yahxin quickly approached Li Qian, saying, "Green Scaled Dragon, I never expected that you would be the one to research it out."
"Indeed, one should never judge a book by its cover, nor measure the depth of the ocean."
"It seems that Lingwater City is about to have a breeding genius emerge!"
Qizi was already engaged in battle with the Gale Wolf, and the situation was clear.
Li Qian had no intention of hiding anything.
"Well, I was just lucky to have researched it out by chance."
He humbly acknowledged his fortune.
Gao Yahxin stepped closer to Li Qian, her bright eyes scrutinizing him like a spotlight.
She seemed to want to understand why he was so exceptional, but this effort was destined to be in vain, as Li Qian was not exceptional; he merely had an external advantage.
"Lucky? No, in pet beast breeding, there's never been such a thing as luck."
"In the entire Eastern Xia Federation, there are countless breeders researching carp, so why is it that only you are lucky?"
"Moreover, luck is also a part of one's strength."
She added, "Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder what the faces of those in the Lingwater City Breeder's Association would look like if they heard this news!"
Li Qian smiled awkwardly.
"Senior Gao, please don't make fun of me."
Gao Yahxin shook her head.
"I'm not making fun of you."
"By researching the evolution method from carp to green-scaled dragon, even though you're still a high school student, there's a high chance you could skip the apprentice and junior stages and become a mid-level breeder directly."
"The only pity is that you're just a high school student. If you were a graduate of our Jiangnan Beastmaster University's breeding major, who knows, you might even advance to become a senior breeder with this achievement!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
But he quickly suppressed it.
Being a senior breeder wasn't a big deal; he aimed to become a breeding grandmaster or even a breeding grandmaster in the future.
"Senior Gao, let's talk about this later."
Interrupting Gao Yahxin's half-joking words, Li Qian steered the conversation back to the immediate concern. "The most important thing right now is to keep this guy here."
"This guy is a heretic from the Black God Sect. Just now, he suddenly launched an attack and assaulted me and Tail Feather Fish."
Gao Yahxin smiled, her smile captivating. "Don't worry, this guy won't be able to escape, no matter how hard he tries!"
Just as the two were talking.
The Gale Wolf staggered, trying to stand up, but Seven's gale-cutting strike hit it again, knocking it unconscious.
Li Qian thought that the Gale Wolf hadn't expected to fall to a regular 9th-rank beast.
"You won't get away with this!"
With the Gale Wolf's combat ability neutralized and the Brutal Salamander occupied by Liu Changfeng, the Black God Sect heretic became an easy target. Gao Yahxin waved her hand, commanding the Phantom Fox to release an "illusion wave."
The illusion wave hit the heretic from the Black God Sect accurately, causing him to flip over and pass out.
Gao Yahxin didn't kill him but instead knocked him unconscious.
Later, they would hand him over to the Public Security Bureau to see if they could extract any intelligence.
Though the chances of that were slim.

For this reason, Li Qian didn't rush to help immediately.
Gao Yahxin glanced at the unconscious heretic and suddenly spoke, her voice calm and steady. "Recently, I've discovered traces of heretic activities within Lingwater City."
Li Qian nodded.
The information about her mother, Han Yuying, came from Gao Yahxin.
"Do you know what they're looking for?"
Gao Yahxin smiled, her eyes conveying a profound meaning as she looked at Li Qian.
