Chapter 725: Must Leave Immediately
Chapter 725: Must Leave Immediately
The Sandland Wyrm seemed to sense something, and the yellow sand swirled like a hurricane, condensing and rapidly sweeping toward Treasure Seeker.
But just as the yellow hurricane was about to touch Treasure Seeker, Treasure Seeker vanished from the spot, taking Qiao Sang, Fangy, and Lulu with it.
All the commotion disappeared, and everything returned to silence.
"He He."
About two seconds later, the Desolate Spider King looked at the Sandland Wyrm and called out, indicating that the prey had vanished.
"Shalu!"
The Sandland Wyrm let out an angry roar.
On the ground, Dawnlight Mara, who had just opened her eyes, chose to close them again, pretending she had never woken up.
"Bashi..."
High in the sky, atop a towering tree, Bashi Ball, seeing the world become clear again, finally determined the direction and drifted toward a certain place.
As it rose and drifted, the leaves rustled.
"He He."
The Desolate Spider King heard the sound and slowly turned its gaze.
...
The path beneath their feet branched out in all directions, crisscrossing each other.
The dense layers of leaves occasionally rustled in the night breeze.
Seeing the completely different scene around her, with no sign of the Sandland Wyrm or the Desolate Spider King, Qiao Sang felt a great weight lifted from her shoulders. She unconsciously let out a long breath.
Finally, they were safe...
"Xunxun!"
At that moment, Treasure Seeker's excited voice rang out.
Qiao Sang followed the sound and saw Treasure Seeker circling around Lulu.
Iceapura... Qiao Sang silently repeated Lulu's current form's name in her mind.
Her initial excitement waned as she remembered Dr. Jiang's words that Iceapura was the most sensitive entity in the entire Evolution chain. If things went wrong, the trust they had built could easily crumble.
Lulu had already been so sensitive before; if she became even more sensitive... Qiao Sang found it hard to imagine.
"Ice Ai."
As the thought crossed her mind, Lulu's face broke into a smile.
It's great that everyone is safe.
Seeing Lulu's expression, Qiao Sang was taken aback. Her mind was filled with one thought:
Damn, Lulu actually smiled?!
"Ya Fangy"
Just as Qiao Sang was stunned, Fangy weakly called out, indicating it was in trouble.
Without a word, Lulu's gem on her forehead emitted a blue light, illuminating Fangy's body.
Qiao Sang noticed that Lulu had changed.
The change was very noticeable.
If Lulu used to be the tsundere type, that attribute was no longer as prominent. Her entire demeanor had become more peaceful, as if she had a firm goal in her heart and couldn't be easily swayed. This was not at all like what Dr. Jiang had described.
"Ya Ya!"
Soon, Fangy's injuries vanished, and it regained its energy.
"Lulu, congratulations on your Evolution", Qiao Sang said with a smile.
"Ice Ai." Lulu smiled again.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker watched Lulu for a while, its eyes filled with envy.
Why does everyone's Evolution bring such significant changes...
Dawn was approaching, and they needed to regroup quickly. Qiao Sang suppressed the urge to check the data in the Beastmaster Codex immediately. She took out the display Char had given her and handed it to Treasure Seeker, saying:
"Take a look. The green dot on this screen shows his location. Try to lock onto it and move directly there."
The display Char had given could show the positions of each other.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker took the display with a serious expression, its eyes glowing blue. A 3D image of most of the Barzai Mountains appeared in its mind, trying to align with the green dot.
Usually, at this point, Lulu would shrink and jump into the backpack, but she didn't this time.
"Lulu, you're not going to shrink?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Ice Ai." Lulu shook her head, indicating she liked her current form.
It's only natural to want to feel the changes after a hard-earned Evolution... Qiao Sang thought.
The next second, everything went dark.
...
"Bashi Ball hasn't returned yet. Is everything okay?" Char asked, slightly worried.
"It's fine", Carol said. "I can sense that it's not injured."
"But it's been too long", Char said, glancing at her watch.
"Should I summon it back now?" Carol asked tentatively.
Char thought for a moment and said, "No, let's wait a bit longer."
"Bashi!!!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bashi Ball's voice, filled with a scary face, echoed from nearby.
Seconds later, the ground began to tremble, as if a massive creature was approaching.
Char and Carol exchanged a grave look.
“It can’t be...” Char was about to make a guess when three familiar figures suddenly appeared on the open ground, along with one they had never seen before.
Char and Carol were taken aback for a moment, then their faces lit up with joy.
Treasure Seeker had teleported four times to get here. When Qiao Sang saw Char and the others, she smiled.
“I finally found you. Let me tell you—”
“Bashi!!!”
The sound of Bashi Ball’s voice, accompanied by the unmistakable ground tremor, interrupted Qiao Sang’s words.
Qiao Sang followed the sound.
She saw the Miniature Version of Bashi Ball, and...
!!! Behind Bashi Ball was a gigantic familiar, and Qiao Sang’s mind was filled with exclamation marks.
Char and Carol looked in the same direction, their pupils dilating as they gasped in unison:
“Desolate Spider King?!”
“Bashi!”
Bashi Ball was moving at high speed, tears streaming down its face.
The Desolate Spider King, however, looked leisurely, as if it were merely taking a stroll, but it was gradually closing the distance between itself and Bashi Ball.
At this moment, Qiao Sang called out, "Quick, recall Bashi Ball!"
Although she didn’t know whose familiar Bashi Ball was, the Miniaturization Band it wore and its approach for help made it clear it belonged to one of them.
Carol, hearing this, quickly waved her hand and recalled Bashi Ball.
“Treasure Seeker!” Qiao Sang said urgently.
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker understood its Beastmaster’s intent. Its eyes glowed blue, and it quickly teleported everyone away from the spot.
“He he.”
The Desolate Spider King stopped in its tracks, wearing a “pity” expression.
...
The group appeared by a river.
“Qiao Sang, thank goodness you arrived,” Carol said, looking around with genuine relief.
Char relaxed and turned to Qiao Sang, smiling. “Not bad, quick reaction.”
It’s all thanks to the training... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly but maintained a calm smile. “It’s nothing.”
Seeing that the environment was safe, everyone relaxed.
As soon as Char relaxed, he remembered the unfamiliar familiar standing next to Qiao Sang.
He was about to ask when Carol spoke up.
“Qiao Sang, who is this familiar?”
Qiao Sang followed her gaze and smiled. “This is Iceapura, Icechill’s evolved form.”
Lulu remained silent, seemingly back to her aloof self.
“Iceapura?” Char’s mind went blank for a moment.
“Your Icechill evolved?!” Carol couldn’t control her expression, her face showing clear shock and surprise.
To be honest, at Yulinton University, it wasn’t unusual for advanced familiars to evolve into champion-level familiars. Everyone was among the best of their age group, and their bonded familiars were all highly talented. Evolving into a champion-level familiar was only a matter of time.
But Qiao Sang was only a freshman, and she already had two champion-level familiars.
They had all come to the Barzai Mountains together, and in just a few short hours, Icechill had evolved into a champion-level familiar?!
So, Qiao Sang now had three champion-level familiars?!
Carol looked at Flame Kiru, Ghost Ring King, and Iceapura, feeling dazed.
I understand your surprise. To be honest, I was also surprised when Lulu evolved... Qiao Sang nodded, looking at Carol’s expression.
Char snapped back to reality and asked with a complex expression, “Can you tell us what happened?”
Qiao Sang nodded, preparing to condense her story. “After I found Lulu...”
She suddenly remembered something and paused, omitting the part about being frozen. “I saw a group of Stealth Hunter Spiders...”
As Qiao Sang narrated, Char and Carol’s expressions went from shocked to extremely shocked, to “Oh my gosh, that’s so dangerous!”
When Qiao Sang finished recounting the events, Char said solemnly, “We need to leave the Barzai Mountains immediately!”
