Chapter 755: An Unexpected Encounter
Chapter 755: An Unexpected Encounter
Over the next several minutes, the creature in the distance changed its aura three or four times.
At times, it emitted a harmless aura, like that of a Pichu. Other times, it gave off the overwhelming presence of a legendary beast, radiating an aura that could shake the heavens and the earth.
Xiao Tian guessed the creature’s intentions.
By releasing the aura of a legendary beast, the creature was likely trying to scare her into leaving her position, thus exposing a weakness for it to exploit.
However, the fourth time the creature switched to a Pichu’s aura, she had a brilliant idea!
She could turn the tables and use the creature’s strategy against it.
So, she continued to wait silently, while subtly placing various traps like [Frost Traps] and [Explosion Traps] around her feet and in the surrounding bushes.
About five minutes later, the creature once again switched its aura from that of a Pichu to a legendary beast.
Xiao Tian knew the opportunity had arrived!
She released a few threads of “panicked” aura in the direction of the beast and quickly ran in the opposite direction.
As she ran, she swiftly summoned her pet, a panda named Tuanzi.
Tuanzi appeared a bit bewildered, unsure of what to do, with its innocent large eyes gazing at its owner in confusion.
Xiao Tian flashed to a few meters behind Tuanzi and quickly ordered it to enlarge and set up defenses.
Tuanzi instinctively obeyed.
Roar!
After a loud bear roar, Tuanzi’s body was enveloped in layers of green light, expanding three times its original size to form a formidable barrier in front of Xiao Tian.
However, Xiao Tian’s eyes narrowed sharply.
As she fled, she sensed the creature on the other side moving toward her like an arrow released from a bow, with a speed that was anything but ordinary.
Using the term “faster than lightning” would not be an exaggeration!
For an archer, the worst fear was an enemy closing in.
Fortunately, she had her array of traps and Tuanzi in front of her, so she wasn’t worried about the enemy reaching her instantly.
Moreover, Xiao Tian had another layer of protection.
With a single wave of her hand, she summoned another panda.
This panda was a gift from Su Yu when he visited the Panda Empire, and it had the bloodline of the panda clan’s leader.
This panda was different from ordinary pandas, which were usually of the Nature or Earth element. This one, however, was a rare Ice-type panda.
Because it was an Ice-type panda, its body was always covered in a layer of ice that formed a natural armor. Xiao Tian named it “Bingdun.”
As soon as Bingdun appeared, it immediately began casting spells under Xiao Tian’s control. A massive [Blizzard] fell in front of her, and a thick ice wall rose high in front of Tuanzi.
The two pandas worked in perfect harmony, ensuring Xiao Tian’s safety to the utmost extent.
Xiao Tian flipped backward onto Tuanzi’s back and fired several arrows in quick succession.
To her surprise, the unknown creature in front of her had stopped, standing before her trap array in a daze.
The creature was a green-skinned Skrull.
Facing Xiao Tian’s arrows, he lightly twisted his body, causing the arrows to graze past him and embed in the ground.
At the same time, he spoke in Standard Blue Star Chinese: “Is this Xiao Tian? I’m Gu Hong, also known as [Thousand Cups of Liquor]!”
“Ah?!” Xiao Tian’s foot slipped, nearly causing her to fall off Tuanzi’s back.
It turned out that the “alien creature” she had been wary of for so long was actually one of her own!
Thousand Cups of Liquor was also very frustrated.
This time, he wasn't as unlucky as before, being teleported to the Skrull homeworld.
Instead, he was sent to the Wild Continent, and he immediately felt the urge to stretch his legs and find a few magical beasts to train with.
His combat skills were among the best in the player base, only slightly behind Snow Leopard and Xiaotian. Therefore, he wasn't afraid to face off against beasts of the same tier.
However, who would have thought that his first "prey" would turn out to be one of his own people from Blue Star!
Looking at the familiar traps on the ground and the panda cub, he immediately realized he had made a huge mistake.
In the vast expanse of the Skrull planet, he and Xiaotian had been teleported to spots not far from each other, a situation that was both amusing and exasperating.
"Who would've thought it'd be you!" Qianbei Bu Zui scratched his head, a bit embarrassed. "I was wondering why the 'magical beast' I encountered was so patient, turns out it was one of our own."
"Hehe, I also found it strange. Why was the 'magical beast' across from me constantly changing its aura? It must be the special effect of your martial art, the 'Hundred Spirit Technique,' right?" Xiaotian smiled.
"Exactly, it's the 'Hundred Spirit Technique.' This martial art allows me to mimic the auras of various animals. On the way here, I encountered a small electric mouse and decided to mimic its aura," Qianbei Bu Zui continued to explain.
Xiaotian blinked her eyes.
She returned her pet, Bingdun, to her pet space and had Tuanzi shrink to rest, then asked, "Did you encounter any other magical beasts on your way here?"
Qianbei Bu Zui was taken aback but quickly answered, "I did encounter one, but it was a group of third-tier beasts, so not very valuable. I didn't bother with them."
Xiaotian's eyes lit up. "Where? Take me there quickly!"
"In that direction..." Qianbei Bu Zui turned and pointed behind him.
...
Three minutes later, Xiaotian and Qianbei Bu Zui successfully captured the leading magical beast of the third-tier group.
It was a herbivorous beast that looked a bit like a deer, with a rather docile appearance.
Xiaotian used her "Tame Wild Beast" skill to add this "deer" to her pet roster, then communicated with it telepathically to understand their location.
After the exchange, Xiaotian pulled out a paper map of the Skrull planet, identical to the one she had shown to Senior Zhu.
She took a water pen and circled a tiny red dot on the map, then handed it to Qianbei Bu Zui. "We're here now, very close to the Solar Empire."
"Got it." Qianbei Bu Zui took the map, glanced at it, and nodded.
They were not far from the Skrull territory, essentially on the outskirts of the Wild Continent.
No wonder the magical beasts around here were so scarce.
After looking at the map, Qianbei Bu Zui raised his head and looked at Xiaotian. "What do you plan to do next? How about we form a team? It would provide some security for both of us."
"This... I'm afraid it won't work." Xiaotian patted the red leather bag she had been carrying, explaining, "I have a special mission to complete, and I need to go to the Skrull territory to finish it."
"Ah, I see." Qianbei Bu Zui nodded, showing his understanding.
Originally, Su Yu had also planned to give him a special mission, but considering his extremely bad luck last time, he decided against it.
So his plan this time was to train and gather some materials on the Wild Continent, with no other specific plans.
"Then how about this," Xiaotian suggested finally. "We set a meeting point to contact each other. How about we meet there in two days?"
"Sounds good." Qianbei Bu Zui nodded in agreement.
