Chapter 724: Iceapura
Chapter 724: Iceapura
The thickness of the water pillar and the distinct energy color were too obvious. Even though Lulu was completely enveloped by the water, Qiao Sang immediately recognized her.
Her hand, which was about to complete the seal, instinctively stopped, and the Amber Star Array dissipated.
Qiao Sang looked in the direction Lulu had been flung.
Unfortunately, the yellow sand in the air suddenly grew denser, shrouding everything in a yellow haze. The entire world seemed to fall into chaos, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Lulu... Qiao Sang steadied her mind and prepared to form the seal again.
But at that moment, she felt the Beastmaster Codex grow warm.
This feeling... Qiao Sang froze for a moment, then realized something, her heart racing uncontrollably.
This feeling was too familiar!
Every time Fangy and the others evolved, the Beastmaster Codex would heat up like this!
Who is evolving?!
Qiao Sang looked at the swirling yellow sand and, in 0.01 seconds, reached a conclusion.
It's Lulu!
Qiao Sang instantly forgot about the Desolate Spider King binding her and her consciousness immediately entered the Beastmaster Codex.
While it was a pleasant surprise that Lulu was evolving unexpectedly, her energy hadn't accumulated enough yet!
Moreover, this sandstorm was cast by the Sandland Wyrm and was completely uncontrollable. If something went wrong, it would be disastrous!
The pages of the Beastmaster Codex flipped.
Although the speed of the flipping was the same as usual, Qiao Sang felt it was unbearably slow.
When the Beastmaster Codex finally flipped to the page about Lulu, Qiao Sang began frantically adding points.
...
In the real world.
"He He."
The Desolate Spider King stared at the human who had closed her eyes for a couple of seconds, then slowly lifted one of its legs.
White light condensed on the leg.
Suddenly, a glaring flame shot out, igniting the white silk.
Then, a red light flashed, and the human vanished from sight.
"He He."
The Desolate Spider King sensed something and turned its head, only to see the little creature that had been battling the Sandland Wyrm staring at it with a fierce expression.
And on its back, it carried the weak human.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy bared its teeth, glaring at the Desolate Spider King, its eyes filled with anger.
"Xunxun!"
At that moment, Treasure Seeker appeared beside it, looking at its Beastmaster who had her eyes closed, a look of profound sorrow on its face.
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun!"
It then floated over to Fangy, pointing at the Desolate Spider King not far away, accusing it with evident excitement.
"Ya Ya."
Compared to Treasure Seeker, Fangy called out more calmly.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker paused, looking serious, then extended its short toe.
A shadow shot out from the toe and, in a few swift movements, bound Qiao Sang.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker used 3D Shadow Control to secure its Beastmaster on its back and nodded at Fangy.
Without a word, Fangy transformed into a flame and charged at the Desolate Spider King.
...
In the Beastmaster Codex.
Seeing the points for the level max out and the remaining points at the bottom showing [2], Qiao Sang's eyes lit up.
She hadn't expected that the Stealth Hunter Spiders she had just defeated would provide enough points for Lulu to evolve!
Earlier, she had felt a bit regretful for attacking those Stealth Hunter Spiders, but now she thought it might have been a stroke of luck.
If she hadn't attacked the Stealth Hunter Spiders, Lulu's points wouldn't have accumulated so quickly to the point where she could evolve into a General-Class Pet Beast.
If she hadn't attacked the Stealth Hunter Spiders, the Sandland Wyrm wouldn't have come, and there wouldn't have been its sandstorm.
If Qiao Sang hadn't attacked the Stealth Hunter Spider, Lulu would have been even more hopeless without the Desolate Spider King and Dawnlight Mara...
Qiao Sang suppressed her excitement and withdrew her consciousness from the Beastmaster Codex.
There was something more important to do now...
As soon as her consciousness returned to reality, Qiao Sang saw a large area of flame surrounding the Desolate Spider King, exploding continuously. The deafening explosions were accompanied by thick, flame-laden fog.
Hmm? Where am I? Why is the Desolate Spider King so far away? Qiao Sang was momentarily confused, but then she sensed something and looked down to see Treasure Seeker's head.
Qiao Sang immediately regained her focus and exclaimed, "Treasure Seeker, find Lulu quickly and give her the Awakening Orb!"
Back when she won the Regional Tournament at the National Campus Beastmaster League, the Ancient Fog Region awarded her a Water Awakening Orb.
Using an Awakening Orb on a familiar could give it a chance to awaken the dormant talent skills in its bloodline.
She remembered what Dr. Jiang had said: using an Awakening Orb during a familiar's Evolution could increase the chance of awakening talent skills by about 30%.
Lulu's energy wasn't full, so the Evolution shouldn't happen too quickly.
Of course, if Lulu had already Evolved by the time Treasure Seeker found her, it wouldn't be a problem. She could save the Water Awakening Orb for the next Evolution to a Royal Tier Beast.
Though that was her thought, Qiao Sang still hoped Lulu could use it successfully this time.
After all, evolving a General-Class Beast Companion to a Royal Tier Beast could take a long time.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker, hearing its Beastmaster's voice, instantly showed a look of surprise.
It turned its head, eyes brimming with tears, ready to express its worries.
"Xun..."
Qiao Sang immediately interrupted, "Go to Lulu quickly."
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker sensed its Beastmaster's urgency and quickly wiped away its tears.
Lulu, unlike Fangy, wasn't moving around, so it wasn't hard to locate her. Treasure Seeker's eyes glowed blue.
The next second, it disappeared from the spot, taking Qiao Sang with it.
Qiao Sang's vision went dark, and when it returned, she saw the blinding white light.
The later a familiar's Evolution, the slower the process.
Seeing the yellow sand surrounding them and no sign of the Sandland Wyrm or the Desolate Spider King, Qiao Sang felt a wave of relief.
"Hurry, the Awakening Orb", Qiao Sang urged Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker kept important items in a separate area. It took off its Ring, felt around, and quickly retrieved a dark blue orb.
Qiao Sang took the Awakening Orb and called out, "Lulu, I know you can hear me! I'm throwing the Awakening Orb to you now, you must eat it!"
With that, she threw the Awakening Orb upward.
The Awakening Orb touched the white light and didn't fall; instead, it seemed to be absorbed.
Lulu has eaten it... Qiao Sang understood this and felt a sudden relief.
Lulu was in the middle of her Evolution, so Treasure Seeker couldn't use Spatial Shift again. One of the conditions for Lulu to Evolve successfully was the sandstorm, and such a sandstorm wasn't easily found elsewhere.
Once Lulu's Evolution was complete, Qiao Sang would recall Fangy to the Beastmaster Codex and have Treasure Seeker move to a new position immediately...
Bang!
Just as she was thinking, a familiar red figure flew backward, landing and sliding a deep furrow into the muddy ground.
Qiao Sang turned her head and saw Fangy lying on the ground.
"Fangy!"
Fangy struggled to his feet, his pupils filled with bloodshot veins, his limbs taut, and his teeth bared in a fierce expression.
Oh no... Qiao Sang's heart sank as she followed Fangy's gaze.
"Shalu!"
"Hehe."
Not far away, two Royal Tier Beasts, a Sandland Wyrm and a Desolate Spider King, were looking down at them from a height.
Qiao Sang's scalp tingled.
At that moment, the Sandland Wyrm and the Desolate Spider King, who had been staring at Fangy, shifted their gaze to Lulu, who was radiating Evolution Light.
As Qiao Sang's heart pounded and she agonized over whether to have Treasure Seeker perform a Spatial Shift for safety, Fangy transformed into a flame and charged forward again!
"Shalu!"
The Sandland Wyrm, clearly irritated by Fangy, focused its attention on him. It let out a loud roar, and countless grains of yellow sand instantly formed a storm, sweeping toward Fangy with terrifying force!
Fangy teleported mid-air, reappearing above the Sandland Wyrm.
He opened his mouth.
A massive Flame Kiru, condensed from flames and several meters in size, suddenly appeared, mimicking Fangy's posture with its fiery red teeth burning and boiling, and it bit down with a heavy crunch.
At that exact moment, the Desolate Spider King extended a long leg, which transformed into a white blade that flashed in the chaos, sweeping horizontally toward Fangy.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy's eyes were wild, and he made no attempt to dodge.
The Desolate Spider King's attack would hit Fangy first... Qiao Sang, watching the scene, instinctively issued a command:
"Treasure Seeker, Psychic Power!"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker's eyes glowed with Blue Light.
The Desolate Spider King's leg paused in mid-air for a second.
In that split second, Fangy lunged down with his Flame Fang.
"Shalu!"
The Sandland Wyrm didn't show any sign of pain, only more rage.
With its roar, a cloud of yellow sand instantly enveloped Fangy, then spiraled upward, and finally slammed him back to the ground.
"Fangy!"
Fangy struggled to get up.
He knew his Beastmaster was nearby, and if he didn't fight, these creatures would likely focus their attention on her...
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker, gathering its courage, glared at the Desolate Spider King.
The Desolate Spider King didn't speak but opened its mouth, and several streams of white silk, each half a meter wide, shot out toward Treasure Seeker.
Just a little longer, and Lulu's Evolution would be complete... Qiao Sang took a deep breath, about to give an order.
"Bing Ai."
At that moment, a cold, icy voice sounded from the side.
With this voice, a terrifying Ice Spike, resembling a small iceberg, appeared above the Desolate Spider King!
"Hehe."
The Desolate Spider King sensed the danger, and the white silk suddenly changed direction, extending upward to wrap around the massive Ice Spike.
Qiao Sang was taken aback, then quickly turned her head.
A familiar about six meters long, almost entirely covered in deep blue scales, with a light blue ice crystal pattern on its belly, a diamond-shaped white gem embedded in the middle of its forehead, and two exceptionally beautiful tails—one covered in blue scales with purple stripes, the other in white scales with deep blue stripes—suddenly caught her eye, leaving a deep impression.
Iceapura... Qiao Sang quickly composed herself, suppressing her excitement, and called out loudly:
"Treasure Seeker!"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker immediately understood his Beastmaster's meaning and let out a cry.
Then, his eyes glowed with Blue Light.
