Chapter 726: Frost Haven
Chapter 726: Frost Haven
Qiao Sang paused for a moment and asked, "Why?"
She remembered Char saying it would take three days to explore the field, and only one day had passed.
Char's expression was complex. "The Sandland Wyrm holds a special status in the Barzai Mountains. If it has its eye on you, we might face the pursuit of all the Wild Familiars if we stay here any longer."
Qiao Sang immediately thought of the Desolate Spider King and Dawnlight Mara from before.
Their attitudes and positions indeed suggested that the Sandland Wyrm was the leader.
"Then let's leave right away", Qiao Sang said, not wanting to waste a moment.
While the previous encounter had caused Steel Treasure and Lulu to evolve, she definitely didn't want to go through that again. There were so many Wild Familiars here, and it wasn't impossible that a few more Psionic Familiars with Space Lock abilities might appear.
Carol had no objections. She was here for credits, and leaving early wouldn't affect her earnings unless it was her own doing.
Char nodded slightly and turned to the Mechanical-type canine familiar that had been quietly standing beside them. "You lead the way."
Pathfinder, a Mechanical-type Advanced Familiar, could combine the data stored in its mind with a function similar to a tracking scanner to provide the optimal route.
"Check it out."
Pathfinder stepped forward, about to start determining the direction.
At that moment, Qiao Sang said, "If we've already been spotted, it's still too dangerous to go this way. Tell me the general direction towards the outer part of the mountains, and I'll have Treasure Seeker use Spatial Shift to transport us there."
After a day of traveling together, Char and Carol naturally knew that Qiao Sang had named her Ghost Ring King "Treasure Seeker."
Char pondered for a moment, not immediately agreeing. Instead, he asked cautiously, "What is your Ghost Ring King's proficiency with Spatial Shift?"
In his view, Spatial Shift was a life-saving move in the wilderness. Continuous use could easily lead to fatigue, and if the proficiency was average, the distance covered might not be far enough to be worthwhile, better to save it for a critical moment.
Proficiency with a familiar's moves was considered a secret among some Professional Beastmasters, but Qiao Sang had no major matches to register for recently, so she wasn't too concerned about this.
"Mastery", she said straightforwardly.
Carol was taken aback.
Char fell silent for a long time, then glanced at the display in his hand for a while before pointing southwest. "Move in that direction."
Qiao Sang nodded to Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker let out a breath, and its eyes glowed blue.
...
A thick fog enveloped the entire forest, the thin mist floating gently.
In the next second, a group of figures appeared out of nowhere.
Various small and medium-sized familiars scattered in all directions.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker was panting, looking quite exhausted.
Qiao Sang, noticing this, surveyed the area and asked, "Is this place safe?"
Char looked at the display in his hand and smiled. "It's safe. We're already in the outer layer of the Barzai Mountains."
"Then let's rest for a bit", Qiao Sang suggested.
As Char had mentioned earlier, she had been targeted by the Sandland Wyrm. They had transferred several times, and each time they landed, they were immediately surrounded by a large number of Wild Familiars. Treasure Seeker had to use Spatial Shift without precise positioning, which had drained more energy than expected.
Char nodded. "Alright."
Carol took a pear-shaped, milky white fruit from her backpack and handed it to Qiao Sang. "Give this to your Ghost Ring King. It will help replenish its energy."
Qiao Sang took the fruit, his curiosity piqued. "What is this?"
Carol hesitated for a moment, then remembered that Qiao Sang was from Blue Star and wouldn't know the fruit varieties of Supernest. She patiently explained, "It's a Pouchwood Fruit. It can replenish a familiar's energy. The flesh is soft and sweet, and almost all attribute types of familiars enjoy it."
So that's what it's called... Qiao Sang handed the fruit to Treasure Seeker. "Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker took it and took a big bite. His eyes lit up, and he showed a clear expression of enjoyment.
Qiao Sang sat down cross-legged under a tree. "I'm going to meditate for a bit. Call me when we're ready to go."
"Alright", Char nodded.
Fangy and Lulu positioned themselves on either side of their Beastmaster, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
Qiao Sang closed his eyes. On the surface, he was meditating, but in reality, his consciousness entered the Beastmaster Codex.
The pages flipped.
He soon arrived at the page about Lulu.

【Points: 2】
Two more Traits? Qiao Sang was initially stunned by the data in front of her, then she couldn't contain her excitement.
With the Water Storage Trait, she wouldn't have to fear water-attribute familiars of the same Level, even those at the late General-Class!
And the Snowfall Trait!
Once summoned from the Beastmaster Codex, it could change the weather to Snowfall for a certain period. While this was a dazzling Trait that Coordinators dreamed of, it was also highly practical for Professional Beastmasters. Not only could it potentially intimidate opponents who were afraid of the cold, but many ice-type familiars would fight twice as effectively in Snowfall weather.
Like Lulu, whose Aurora Curtain could only be used in Snowfall or Hailstorm weather.
With this Trait, she could save the time needed to cast Snowfall when defending!
Qiao Sang's excited gaze shifted down.
Blizzard, an Ice-Type Advanced Skill, could unleash a fierce blizzard to attack the opponent, sometimes causing them to become frozen. It was one of the few weather-based Skills with strong offensive power.
This Skill is pretty good... Qiao Sang evaluated, then her eyes landed on Gigantic Ice Spike.
She wasn't surprised that Lulu had this move, considering it had recently been used to attack the Desolate Spider King.
Gigantic Ice Spike, an Ice-Type Advanced Skill, could condense a massive ice spike to attack the target. In its later stages, the ice spike could be as formidable as an iceberg...
Qiao Sang looked at the words "Frost Haven" and fell silent for a moment.
It had been a long time since she encountered a Skill she didn't know... But this one must be pretty powerful, given the "domain" in its name. Regardless of the Skill, any with "domain" in the title was formidable.
This Skill must be the bloodline Skill that Lulu awakened after using the Water Awakening Orb... She would have to investigate further...
Qiao Sang shifted her gaze to the last Skill, slightly dazed.
This Evolution had given Lulu four new Skills...
She had researched this topic before; familiars often awakened new Skills during Evolution, with the number and Level of the Skills varying based on the familiar's talent.
Three Skills were already considered a sign of exceptional talent among familiars.
Each time Fangy and the others Evolved, they usually awakened three Skills, with very few instances of four.
She hadn't expected Lulu to not only gain two new Traits but also awaken four new Skills... Could it have something to do with the Water Awakening Orb... Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, focusing on the last Skill, deep in thought.
Purify...
She wasn't sure what aspect of Purify this referred to...
Qiao Sang was no longer as inexperienced in Beastmaster knowledge as she once was, but some Skills had the same name despite different effects, a common type of question in exams.
For example, Purify.
Purify that specifically removes negative effects was called Purify.
Purify that specifically removes curse effects was also called Purify.
Purify that specifically cleanses dirty water was also called Purify.
She would have to test Lulu to see which aspect of Purify this was... Qiao Sang thought to herself as she flipped to the next page of the Beastmaster Codex.
Information about Steel Treasure appeared.
