Chapter 603: Mist Shadow Yake
Chapter 603: Mist Shadow Yake
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker was always quick-witted. The moment the Beast Identifier's information appeared, it understood what was going on and quickly tossed the Hammer Sprout, pretending it had just picked it up casually.
As the Hammer Sprout was thrown, Qiao Sang's eyelid twitched again.
Fortunately, a purple blur flashed by, and Steel Treasure steadily caught the Hammer Sprout.
In reality, even a low-level familiar had some defensive capabilities, especially a wild beast companion. Falling from a tree, rolling down a hill, or being caught in the aftermath of a more powerful being's attack were all common occurrences.
If the Hammer Sprout had really hit the ground, it wouldn't have been seriously injured. However, Steel Treasure knew that the Hammer Tree was still furious. It was better to avoid any further issues and not delay their return home.
"Ganggang."
Steel Treasure, carrying the Hammer Sprout, approached the Hammer Tree and started explaining in a flurry of words, acting as a mediator.
The Hammer Tree was indeed as peaceful as the Beast Identifier had described. Even in its current state of anger, it was willing to listen to the explanation.
"And Chui."
After Steel Treasure's lengthy explanation, the Hammer Tree glanced at Fangy and Lulu, who were about the same size as itself, and then turned and left with the Hammer Sprout.
"Amazing!" Qiao Sang praised Steel Treasure.
Actually, dealing with the Hammer Tree wasn't too difficult, but Qiao Sang was a bit worried that, like the Graintouched Sparrow earlier, a whole group of Hammer Trees might suddenly appear. After all, this was the territory of wild beast companions.
She had even considered having Lulu use Healing Waves, but Steel Treasure managed to resolve the issue through communication.
"Ganggang."
Steel Treasure modestly called out, indicating that the Hammer Tree was easy to reason with and that its species was generally a bit timid, likely fearing they wouldn't stand a chance in a real fight.
Hearing this, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up.
She almost forgot that she didn't know much about the familiars here, but Steel Treasure did!
With Steel Treasure's intelligence, many potential problems could be avoided!
Qiao Sang then thought of something and said very seriously:
"Steel Treasure, while you're leading the way, also answer Treasure Seeker's curious questions. Try to avoid using the Beast Identifier as much as possible."
"Ganggang!"
Steel Treasure nodded seriously, feeling the importance of this task.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker, listening from the back, pouted.
The next few minutes of the journey went smoothly.
With Steel Treasure providing real-time explanations to Treasure Seeker, there were no more issues like the Graintouched Sparrow or the Hammer Tree.
However, a few wild beast companions still attacked them out of nowhere, but they were all below the High-Class Beast Companion level. Fangy and Lulu swept through them effortlessly, resolving the problems perfectly.
After walking for a while longer, Fangy's ears perked up, and it suddenly stopped, looking alert.
Qiao Sang then saw a thick, pale mist rising from the road ahead, as if drifting from the depths.
"Ganggang."
Steel Treasure thought for a moment, flapped its wings, and called out to Qiao Sang, offering to fly in and scout the area.
"Don't be silly, you're the weakest", Qiao Sang immediately refused. "Although you know the terrain best, if something happens to you, we won't know what to do since we're unfamiliar with this place."
She then looked at Treasure Seeker and asked, "How's your energy recovery coming along?"
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker sensed its energy and called out, indicating it had recovered significantly.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:
"Treasure Seeker, go scout ahead. If anything happens, just teleport back."
Ghost Familiars were always the best choice for reconnaissance in TV shows, and Treasure Seeker, besides its Ghost-type Invisibility, could also teleport and perform Spatial Shifts. Qiao Sang could sense its condition, and if anything went wrong, she could summon it back. Sending Treasure Seeker was the safest option.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker's eyes lit up, and it made a salute, indicating it would complete the mission!
It then eagerly turned and drifted toward the thick fog.
It loved these unknown things!
"Fangy"
Fangy's eyes were filled with envy. It wanted to go in too, but it remembered it still had to protect its Beastmaster, so it held back.
Lulu's expression didn't change, but her eyes remained fixed on the fog, her limbs slightly tensed, ready to attack at any moment.
"Ganggang..."
Steel Treasure stared intently at the direction of the fog.
In its memory, this thing had never appeared here before...
Suddenly, Steel Treasure thought of something, and its pupils dilated slightly.
"Ganggang!"
Steel Treasure called out loudly, but before it could express its thoughts, the slowly drifting fog suddenly accelerated, like an avalanche, sweeping over them in a blinding wave.
In an instant, everything was shrouded in white.
Steel Treasure felt itself being scooped up by something and then found itself in a warm place.
"Don't be afraid, stay by my side."
Damn, what is this thing... Qiao Sang held Steel Treasure, her heart racing, but she forced herself to stay calm.
She could sense that Steel Treasure was scared, and as a Beastmaster, she needed to keep her composure to prevent her familiar from getting too anxious.
Qiao Sang took a deep breath and steadied herself.
Before, her opponents had always been right in front of her, but this was the first time she had no idea what was going on or what her opponent looked like.
At that moment, a familiar and particularly soothing Mechanical Voice echoed:
"Mist Shadow Yake, a Dark-type Champion-level familiar, has the strength to create illusions for hundreds of people at once. It is said that when its habitat is about to be exposed to humans, it creates illusions to make people wander aimlessly in the forest."
The information came just in time... Knowing who the opponent was made things a lot easier... Qiao Sang felt a wave of gratitude for Treasure Seeker. She tried to sense Treasure Seeker's location but couldn't...
She waved her hand, and since she couldn't sense its exact position, she couldn't recall Treasure Seeker.
Hmm, it must be affected by the fog. The fact that Treasure Seeker can still use the Beast Identifier means it's fine... Qiao Sang's mind raced.
Treasure Seeker being able to use the Beast Identifier indicated it had seen Mist Shadow Yake and was near it.
The lack of fighting sounds meant they hadn't engaged yet.
Does Mist Shadow Yake not attack familiars? Did it sense the presence of a human, me, and create the fog? As she pondered, Qiao Sang felt a sudden movement and turned her head.
"Xunxun!"
She saw Treasure Seeker, patting its chest with a scary face, suddenly appear beside her.
This isn't Treasure Seeker... Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat, and she shouted, "Lulu!"
"Icechill."
Lulu's eyes turned sharp, and she raised her claws, slashing down mercilessly with a cold, icy intent.
The "Treasure Seeker" was split in two and dissolved into the fog.
It seems we need to deal with this Mist Shadow Yake to move forward... As long as we stay in the fog, we'll be trapped, but the fog must have a limit... Qiao Sang waved her hand, recalling Lulu into the Beastmaster Codex, and calmly said:
"Fangy, let's fly up."
"Ya Ya!"
