Chapter 581: Diversion
Chapter 581: Diversion
Flames suddenly erupted within the swarm of Scaleshield Moths, shooting skyward.
Fangy transformed back to his original size and carried Qiao Sang into the air.
Countless Sparklings fell from the sky, and if one looked closely, they would see that these were actually the charred remains of Scaleshield Moths.
"Lilin!"
Countless Scaleshield Moths looked up at the culprit in the sky.
They bared their fangs in anger and began to surround her from all sides.
Qiao Sang looked down at the swarm of Bug-type Companion Beasts rushing toward her, feeling her scalp tingle with fear.
No matter what kind of familiar, such a large number was terrifying!
"Tooth!"
Fangy bared his teeth, ready to attack, but Qiao Sang quickly said:
"Run!"
This was a residential area, and most of the residents were ordinary people. Regardless of whether the fight would destroy the houses, people would definitely be affected. They needed to lead the Scaleshield Moths to an uninhabited area.
"Tooth!"
Fangy didn't understand why they needed to run, but he turned and fled at the command of his Beastmaster.
The Scaleshield Moths pursued them relentlessly.
"What is that?!" On the street, passersby looked up at the scene, exclaiming in shock.
The dense swarm of Scaleshield Moths in the sky seemed to block out most of the sky.
"My goodness! Scaleshield Moths! Why are there so many Scaleshield Moths suddenly appearing?!"
"How terrifying! Where did they all come from?"
"Look! They seem to be chasing something!"
"Oh! My goodness! There's someone on the familiar being chased!"
"Mommy..." A little girl, standing a hundred meters away on the street, clung tightly to her mother's clothes, feeling instinctively scared at the sight in the sky.
"It's okay, everything will be fine..." Maya murmured.
She knew exactly what was happening. The Scaleshield Moths had awoken for some unknown reason, and the child who had taken her mission had realized the danger. Using some skills, they had transported Maya and the others to safety, while the child herself had risked her life to lead the Scaleshield Moths away.
Despite being just a child, Maya's eyes welled with tears. She then thought of something and pulled out her mobile phone, dialing the emergency number.
...
Damn, why did they suddenly wake up... Qiao Sang sat on Fangy's back, occasionally looking back at the swarm of Scaleshield Moths, puzzled.
Moreover, she was completely unfamiliar with the terrain! Where could she go to find an uninhabited area... As she thought, Qiao Sang felt a strange itch all over her body and a headache.
If she could see herself at that moment, she would have noticed that her body was covered in red spots, her face swollen, and she looked nothing like her usual self.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker, leading Mular and the others, used Shadow Control to bind them and teleport to Fangy's back.
Just as Qiao Sang turned her head, Treasure Seeker saw her Beastmaster's appearance and let out a scream, looking terrified.
"Xunxun!"
In the next moment, its eyes welled with tears, and large drops rolled down its cheeks, as if Qiao Sang were suffering from a terminal illness.
Qiao Sang was confused but didn't have time to think about it. She quickly pulled out her mobile phone, opened the navigation app, and searched for a nearby map.
Soon, she found a place that wasn't a residential area.
"Fangy, turn left!" Qiao Sang said after confirming the direction.
"Tooth!"
Fangy obediently changed course.
Both Fangy and Treasure Seeker could teleport, and Treasure Seeker could even use Spatial Shift. Escaping from a group of Intermediate Pet Beasts wouldn't be difficult, but Qiao Sang didn't want to leave and cause harm to the surrounding ordinary people.
Maybe I should just lead them to the Police Station... The thought crossed her mind for a moment.
But she quickly realized that this wasn't a good idea.
Police Stations were usually located in the city center, and with so many Scaleshield Moths, there was a risk of involving passersby.
With that thought, Qiao Sang directed Fangy to head northwest.
At this moment, Nadapong slowly woke up.
He opened his eyes to see a sky full of Scaleshield Moths chasing after him, nearly scaring him to death.
Qiao Sang noticed the commotion behind her and turned to say, "You're awake?"
She hadn't left him behind, hoping that once he woke up, he could help deal with the Scaleshield Moths. After all, he was a C-Class Beastmaster with a General-Class Beast Companion, and his presence would definitely make things easier.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to explain the situation and her thoughts to him, the middle-aged man in front of her seemed to see something terrifying and let out a scream, "Ah!" before closing his eyes, tilting his head, and fainting again.
Qiao Sang: "???"
Come on, you didn't faint when you saw a swarm of Scaleshield Moths, but you fainted when you saw me. That's a bit impolite, isn't it? Qiao Sang suddenly had the urge to kick him off.
The itching on her body, along with the reactions of Treasure Seeker and Nadapong, made Qiao Sang realize that something was wrong with her.
It was likely due to the swarm of Scaleshield Moths that surrounded her at the entrance.
Understanding this, Qiao Sang took no action.
The priority now was to lead the Scaleshield Moths to an uninhabited area.
While carefully controlling their speed, Fangy arrived at a desolate wilderness.
Qiao Sang looked down and saw only a sizable pond in the vicinity. There was no sign of any other living creatures.
This is the place... Qiao Sang averted her gaze and looked at the relentless swarm of Scaleshield Moths.
Meanwhile, a familiar that resembled a rock was rolling along the ground, arriving late.
It looked up with its slightly glowing green eyes at the scene in the sky and let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, they've stopped. I'm so tired...
...
On the other side, Qu Zhuo's face changed drastically as he saw the pond flash on the computer screen.
It's over, really over!
If he remembered correctly, this was the habitat of the Royal Beast, Springwater Kui!
"Waveeye Hawk, faster!" Qu Zhuo urged.
"Kui kui!"
The Waveeye Hawk let out a cry and accelerated.
...
"Mars Rain!" Qiao Sang shouted sternly.
"Ya!"
Fangy's head lifted slightly, and a scorching red Energy Orb slowly condensed in its mouth.
The Scaleshield Moths flapped their wings, and a cloud of scales like desert sand instantly swept toward Qiao Sang.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker, still immersed in the idea that its Beastmaster was "terminally ill", sensed the danger and quickly sniffed, withdrawing its Shadow Control. It didn't even have time to wipe away its tears before starting to condense energy.
A translucent Barrier rapidly formed in front of Treasure Seeker.
Seeing the Barrier that was only large enough to shield itself, Treasure Seeker fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, Qiao Sang's voice rang in its ears, "Treasure Seeker, control Lulu!"
The Amber Star Array lit up in the sky.
In the next second, Lulu appeared within the Star Array, hovering in the air like Fangy.
Treasure Seeker's eyes had turned blue.
"Chilling Gale!" Qiao Sang quickly commanded.
"Icechill!"
Lulu, without hesitation, opened its mouth, and the temperature plummeted.
The terrifying cold instantly froze the majority of the scales in front of it.
However, the number of Scaleshield Moths was overwhelming.
As Lulu cast Chilling Gale, some of the Scaleshield Moths had already flown to the upper sky and were approaching.
At that moment, Flame Rain descended.
