Chapter 652: Don't You Want to Give It a Try? (Second Update)
High in the sky, the part of the Authorities personnel who hadn't been affected by the whirlwind saw the disappearance of the girl and the Lava Beast, and their faces changed slightly.
"That Lava Beast probably still has some Ghostfire Slurry inside. Should we go after them?" the round-faced Authorities member asked.
The man in the black tactical gear thought for a moment and said, "No, the girl was likely just startled by the sudden battle and accidentally took the Lava Beast with her. Her Fire Pet Beast can move around in the Volcano's core. If she wants the Ghostfire Slurry, her familiar can bring it out. There's no need to chase the Lava Beast."
"But even if she isn't with that group, should we just give up on the Ghostfire Slurry inside the Lava Beast?" the round-faced Authorities member asked again.
The man hesitated and said, "There probably isn't much Ghostfire Slurry left inside the Lava Beast. After all, it only went in for a short time before the Volcano erupted. It was still dazed when the Fire Pet Beast brought it out."
"Bang!!"
Just as the round-faced Authorities member was about to say more, a Sonic Boom struck, and the piercing sound echoed through the air.
The man on the eagle familiar dodged the attack and shouted as he charged toward the battle below, "Forget it! The most important thing right now is to deal with those people!"
Following his words, the remaining Authorities personnel in the sky quickly mounted their Beakfires and descended to join the battle.
The round-faced Authorities member, seeing this, said no more and joined the fray.
Explosions continued, and the area around where the Lava Beast had vomited became a chaotic battleground. The remaining tourists finally realized that this spectacle might come with a price, and they summoned their familiars or headed to their vehicles to leave.
...
Meanwhile, after performing several Spatial Shifts, the Treasure Seeker finally stopped in a desolate place.
Qiao Sang didn't care where they were. After confirming that no one was around, she looked at the Lava Beast, which was still vomiting, and hesitated.
What's going on? It's been vomiting for so long...
The Lava Beast's eyes were filled with tears, and it was clearly in distress.
It felt incredibly unlucky. It had found what its Beastmaster needed, and just as it lowered its head to spit it out, the Volcano erupted.
Everything seemed to rush into its stomach, making it feel like it was about to burst.
It didn't know how it had passed out, but when it woke up, it felt terrible, wanting to vomit, and surrounded by unfamiliar faces.
Before it could react, everything went dark, and the surroundings changed several times.
Now, it wasn't just its stomach that hurt; its head was hurting too...
"Melt... yue..."
Qiao Sang took a step back and looked at the Treasure Seeker.
"I remember buying a transparent container from the Artifacts store that can withstand extremely high temperatures. Get it out and collect this."
"Xunxun?!"
The Treasure Seeker's eyes widened in shock.
Collect vomit?!
Qiao Sang patiently explained, "This is Ghostfire Slurry."
"Xunxun..."
The Treasure Seeker's expression changed to one of realization.
So this is Ghostfire Slurry...
When it had been invisible and following its Beastmaster, it knew that its Beastmaster needed this substance for transactions.
The Treasure Seeker didn't waste any more time. It took off its Ring and dug around inside with its claws.
After nearly a minute, it finally pulled out the transparent container.
"Xunxun..."
But the next moment, the Treasure Seeker looked at the Ghostfire Slurry on the ground with a conflicted expression.
Although it was Ghostfire Slurry, it had been vomited out.
How was it supposed to collect it...
Despite not speaking, the Treasure Seeker's expression was so expressive that Qiao Sang could easily tell what it was thinking.
Her lips twitched, and she said, "You can use your Psychic Power to control it while you collect it."
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker perked up immediately, opened the container, and its eyes glowed blue as it used its Psychic Power to move the vomited Ghostfire Slurry into the container.
Actually, the Treasure Seeker could use Ghost Flame, and Ghostfire Slurry would be quite suitable for it. If it absorbed it, it might save a lot of training time... Qiao Sang thought to herself as she watched.
"Melt yue..."
Seeing this, the Lava Beast covered its mouth with its claws, trying to swallow the Ghostfire Slurry back. It knew its Beastmaster needed this, but it couldn't resist the physiological reaction and continued to vomit.
Soon, the container was filled with Ghostfire Slurry.
Treasure Seeker sealed it and placed the container into the Ring.
"Melt... yue..."
The Lava Beast continued to vomit.
What a waste... Qiao Sang watched the endless stream of Ghostfire Slurry and felt a pang of regret.
This is something that could be exchanged for an SS-Rank Yin Dynasty Pearl...
Unfortunately, there was only one heat-resistant container, and it was already full... What about the rest? Qiao Sang suddenly had an idea and paused, looking at Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker blinked, not understanding why its Beastmaster was looking at it.
Qiao Sang cleared her throat, "Here's the thing: Ghostfire Slurry is very effective for Ghost-type Companion Beasts that can use Fire-type Skills. Would you like to try it?"
Treasure Seeker's eyes lit up at first, but then it became wary as it looked at the blue liquid continuously vomiting from the Lava Beast.
"Xunxun?"
How do we try it?
"You use the energy from your Ghost Flame to wrap around the Ghostfire Slurry, then swallow and absorb it", Qiao Sang explained.
When she first learned about the effects of Ghostfire Slurry, she also researched how to absorb it.
"Xunxun!"
Upon hearing this, Treasure Seeker shook its head vigorously, like a drum being beaten.
Swallow it?
No way!
That's something else's vomit!
Qiao Sang patiently explained, "Think about it, you won't actually touch the Ghostfire Slurry directly. The energy will wrap around it, right?"
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker, known for its thoughtful nature, imagined the scene.
That does seem to be the case...
"Besides, haven't you been wanting to get stronger?" Qiao Sang saw Treasure Seeker's expression soften and quickly added:
"Taking the Ghostfire Slurry will definitely boost your attack power significantly."
"Xunxun..."
Hearing this, Treasure Seeker involuntarily glanced at the backpack behind its Beastmaster.
Qiao Sang, fully grasping Treasure Seeker's mindset, concluded:
"Ghostfire Slurry is a valuable resource, and you can't just buy it with money. You can't absorb it even if you want to, but now you have a chance. Wouldn't you want to try? Many would give anything for this opportunity."
"Xunxun!"
After a moment's thought, Treasure Seeker gritted its teeth and nodded.
It will try!
Well done! Qiao Sang was overjoyed and eagerly nodded at Treasure Seeker:
"Then let's start right away, before it solidifies and becomes a problem."
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker looked at the Ghostfire Slurry on the ground, took a deep breath, and mentally prepared itself.
It's wrapped in energy, it's wrapped in energy... I won't touch it directly, I won't touch it directly...
Treasure Seeker closed its eyes and, upon reopening them, its expression became exceptionally serious.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker channeled its energy, attempting to cover its mouth entirely. Its eyes glowed blue, and the Ghostfire Slurry on the ground slowly rose, controlled into Treasure Seeker's mouth.
As soon as it entered, layer upon layer of energy enveloped the Ghostfire Slurry.
Then, Treasure Seeker swallowed.
If a professional Familiar Trainer were present, they would likely have shouted in alarm.
Ghostfire Slurry is incredibly hot—how could it be swallowed so casually?
Before any Ghost-type familiar absorbs Ghostfire Slurry, they usually take cooling items or dilute the slurry first.
Directly ingesting it like this, how could a Ghost-type Companion Beast possibly endure it!
Qiao Sang didn't know these details, but she was aware that Ghostfire Slurry is molten and swallowing it could be dangerous.
"Lulu, if Treasure Seeker's expression changes, use Healing Light", Qiao Sang said, placing her backpack in front of her and unzipping it.
"Icechill."
Lulu jumped out of the backpack, landed on the ground, and nodded in acknowledgment.
With Lulu around, Qiao Sang felt more at ease. She then had a thought and closed her eyes, her consciousness entering the Beastmaster Codex.
