Chapter 602: What a Coincidence? (Fifth Update for Wide-Brimmed Hat Alliance Leader!)
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
Calling for backup when you can't fight is so dishonorable!
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy bared his teeth, eager to join the fray.
Qiao Sang was startled by Fangy's state, thinking, _Graintouched Sparrow is a High-Class Beast Companion, and you're still this excited even when surrounded by a group of High-Class Beast Companions?_
Just as Fangy was gathering energy, preparing for a big fight, Qiao Sang shouted loudly:
“Treasure Seeker!”
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker immediately understood his Beastmaster's meaning. His eyes glowed blue, and energy surged within him.
In the next second, he teleported Qiao Sang, Fangy, and Steel Treasure away from the scene.
Qiao Sang's vision went dark, and when it cleared, he found himself in a dense forest.
“Fangy,”
Fangy's voice sounded beside him.
Qiao Sang turned to see Fangy with his ears drooping, looking disappointed.
Treasure Seeker lay limp on Fangy's back, looking completely drained.
Steel Treasure, however, was the most energetic, flapping his wings and surveying the surroundings with a hint of excitement.
Qiao Sang took a moment to recover, then pulled out his mobile phone and opened the navigation app.
A mechanical female voice announced:
“You have deviated from your route. Recalculating a new route. Please choose a suitable place to turn around. You are currently in the Wild Beast Habitat, with a danger level of four stars. Please leave immediately. Your destination, Awo Avenue 106, is 21 kilometers away.”
Qiao Sang looked at Treasure Seeker in shock.
“You actually moved us this far in one go?!”
Treasure Seeker could barely lift his eyelids.
“Xunxun...”
He weakly called out, indicating that he had used up all his energy to escape.
Qiao Sang's lips twitched. _No need to be so desperate..._
“Drink some Energy Recovery Serum to recover,” Qiao Sang said.
“Xunxun...”
Treasure Seeker didn't even have the strength to nod. He called out, indicating that he was too weak to move right now.
Qiao Sang: “...”
Qiao Sang formed hand seals, and the Amber Star Array lit up on the ground. Lulu's figure appeared from within it.
Without waiting for her Beastmaster to speak, Lulu glanced around and immediately knew that Treasure Seeker was in trouble.
“Icechill.”
The gem on her forehead glowed blue, casting a light over Treasure Seeker.
“Xunxun!”
Once the blue light faded, Treasure Seeker was back to his energetic self.
The weakness from energy depletion had subsided, but his energy hadn't fully recovered yet.
Treasure Seeker stood up and eagerly removed a ring, retrieving the Energy Recovery Serum from inside.
Suddenly, the rustling of leaves caught their attention.
Qiao Sang looked around cautiously and said, “Fangy, Lulu, be on your guard. Our safety depends on you.”
Treasure Seeker was now out of energy and quite fragile. Even if a wild beast companion appeared, he wouldn't be able to do much.
Steel Treasure was a Beginner Beast. Just a moment ago, a group of High-Class Beast Companions, including Graintouched Sparrow, had appeared. Now, in the Wild Beast Habitat, Qiao Sang instinctively didn't count on Steel Treasure's combat ability.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy's ears perked up, instantly forgetting his earlier disappointment at not getting to fight, and his expression brightened.
“Icechill.”
Lulu's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes scanned the surroundings with increased vigilance.
The rustling of leaves stopped, and a small, green, insect-like familiar, about twenty centimeters long, slowly descended from a nearby tree.
When it reached halfway down, it finally noticed Fangy and the others.
The green insect familiar stopped moving.
After three seconds, it turned around and slowly climbed back up the tree.
It was just a Beginner Beast... Qiao Sang let out a sigh of relief.
“Let's go.” Qiao Sang climbed onto Fangy's back.
Despite not having the energy to perform a Spatial Shift, Fangy could still move.
As Qiao Sang spoke, she raised her hand and made a gesture to summon Lulu back into the Beastmaster Codex.
"Ganggang!"
But at that moment, Steel Treasure let out an excited call, indicating that its home was right here.
Qiao Sang stopped her movement, her face full of surprise. "What a coincidence?"
"Ganggang!"
Steel Treasure nodded, confirming the coincidence!
She hadn't expected Steel Treasure's home to be here. If she stayed to help Steel Treasure find its clan, she would likely miss out on the credits for the top three in her class. But if she went to Awo Avenue 106 first, it felt like fate had already led her here. After a moment of thought, Qiao Sang looked up and saw the eager expression on Steel Treasure's face. She no longer hesitated and smiled.
"Let's go see your home first."
Forget it, the Treasure Seeker's energy wouldn't be restored anytime soon, and they were so far from their destination. No one else would be as unlucky as her to encounter a flock of Grain-Touched Sparrows...
As she thought this, Qiao Sang's mind wandered.
If they had all followed the same route to Awo Avenue 106, she had caught up with many others earlier. If they caught up now, would they also encounter the Grain-Touched Sparrows?
Surely not, Qiao Sang silently dismissed the thought. No one else would be as unlucky as her. Even if they encountered some unexpected events, they wouldn't deviate from their original route like she did.
By now, everyone was probably a third of the way there. Without the Treasure Seeker's Spatial Shift, even if she left immediately, she likely wouldn't catch up to them. It was better to stay and help Steel Treasure.
"Ganggang!"
Steel Treasure's eyes lit up. It flapped its wings, no longer holding back, and called out happily.
...
A gentle breeze blew, causing the leaves to rustle and scatter light spots on the ground.
Many small familiars hid in the grass or among the leaves, watching this group of visitors.
Steel Treasure led the way.
Qiao Sang rode on Fangy's back, following closely.
Lulu was also by her side.
Qiao Sang didn't recall Lulu into the Beastmaster Codex, as in a place teeming with wild beast companions, summoning a familiar might not be swift enough if a situation arose, so it was better to have Lulu accompany her directly.
Besides, there were few people around, and Lulu enjoyed moving in such an environment.
The journey was mostly safe. They mostly encountered small and medium-sized wild beast companions, which recognized Fangy and Lulu as stronger beings and made way for them.
After about ten minutes, dozens of plant roots suddenly began to wrap around from the front.
"Chilling Gale!" Qiao Sang, who had been alert to her surroundings, quickly issued the command.
Lulu opened its mouth, and a visible cold breath shot out.
The cold breath spread in a fan shape, freezing everything in its path.
The dozens of plant roots all stopped, covered in a layer of ice.
Then, a mechanical voice sounded:
"Hammer Sprout, a Grass-Type Junior Pet. It usually disguises itself as grass and hates water. If it starts raining, it will vanish without a trace."
Qiao Sang seemed to realize something and turned her head.
She saw the Treasure Seeker holding a small, green familiar that resembled grass in one claw, while the other claw held the Beast Identifier.
"And Chui!"
An angry voice came from the front.
With a "thud thud" sound, a familiar that was over three meters tall, mostly green, and tree-like, appeared on the path ahead.
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker's curiosity was piqued, and it pointed the Beast Identifier at the familiar.
"Hammer Tree, a high-tier Grass-Type Beast Companion. It usually disguises itself as a tree, is peaceful, and does not initiate attacks. Sometimes, it even helps lost people find their way." The Beast Identifier quickly provided information about the familiar.
Hammer Sprout? Hammer Tree? Qiao Sang's eyes twitched as she looked at the Hammer Sprout still in the Treasure Seeker's claws. She suddenly understood something.
Ps: I'm here!
