Chapter 785: Zone Thirty
Chapter 785: Zone Thirty
Zone Thirty.
Airport.
As soon as Qiao Sang turned off her Flying mode after the plane landed, she received a barrage of messages from Maral:
[Why didn't you come to me today?]
[Do you still need to practice Flame Kiru at noon?]
[You're not giving up, are you?]
[Actually, I think Flame Kiru still has a good chance!]
[If you don't need Xianbao Butterfly anymore, could you at least come to the Coordination Contest for the sake of our previous training?]
I forgot to tell Maral... Qiao Sang replied:
[Sorry, I forgot to tell you. I had some last-minute business in another zone. I'll be back for training soon.]
Maral seemed to be glued to her phone, as she replied instantly:
[No problem, no problem. When will you be back?]
Qiao Sang, while getting off the plane, replied: [Not sure yet.]
Maral sent a string of [crying] emojis: [Can you make it back in time for the Coordination Contest?]
Just as Qiao Sang was about to reply, she heard Professor Bilet say:
"Be careful."
The other passengers who had just disembarked gasped in unison.
Qiao Sang sensed something and looked up, only to see various Flying Beasts circling high above, their eyes fixed on the ground below.
Suddenly, a five-meter-long Azure Bird emitted a blue glow and dove from the sky, like a burning blue meteor.
"Bang!"
As the blue light approached the airport, it was blocked by an invisible Barrier.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't worry. We will ensure the safety of all visitors within the airport. Please take your belongings and leave in an orderly manner", a sweet voice announced over the intercom.
As the announcement ended, another Flying Beast dove from above, but it too was blocked by the Barrier.
This is Zone Thirty... Qiao Sang's heart raced, her safety instincts skyrocketing. Without a word, she began to form the seals with her hands.
Two Amber Star Arrays lit up simultaneously.
At this point, almost all the newly arrived passengers were forming seals, and the ground was dotted with glowing Star Arrays. Qiao Sang's two Amber Star Arrays were not particularly noticeable.
Soon, Lulu and Steel Treasure appeared within the Star Arrays.
People around her turned to look.
No matter where or when, an unfamiliar familiar always attracts attention.
"Stay close to me and stay alert", Qiao Sang said seriously.
She had been to the Lower Ten Districts before and knew it was best to summon her familiars directly to protect her, rather than trying to form seals in the middle of danger.
"Yah!" Fangy, who had been following her, called out first.
"Xunxun~" The Invisibility spell on the Treasure Seeker faded, and it took out a ring, rummaged through it, and handed over the backpack it usually carried for its Beastmaster.
Qiao Sang understood and reached out to take it, unzipped it, and slung it over her shoulder.
"Ice Ai."
Lulu leaped lightly and jumped into the backpack.
The Treasure Seeker reactivated its Invisibility spell, disappearing without a trace.
"Steel Slash."
Steel Treasure glanced up at the sky, his expression serious, and then his body slowly grew, returning to its original size.
Feeling her four familiars by her side, Qiao Sang felt a sense of security.
Birit, watching Qiao Sang's actions, twitched his lips and then looked up at the Flying Beasts still circling in the sky, feeling a sinking sensation in his stomach.
He knew Zone Thirty was a dangerous place, but his initial purpose for coming to Supernest was for a relaxing vacation, and he had never been to Zone Thirty before.
Unlike the Hidden Realm, where the number of familiars encountered could be handled as long as one avoided dangerous areas, and one could even set up camp and enjoy a good meal, Zone Thirty seemed to be teeming with wild beast companions everywhere.
Realizing this, Birit patted his head and called out: "Come out."
In the next second, one of the hairs on his head suddenly swelled and thickened, wriggling like a worm. It then jumped down, sprouted black fur, grew larger, and its head expanded, with blue eyes and a pair of brown antennae on its cheeks.
It then grew two pairs of black wings and two limbs, standing with its arms crossed.
In an instant, it transformed into a familiar roughly three meters in size.
"Fafa."
The black moth familiar let out a low call, and the other familiars that the tourists had just summoned seemed to sense something terrifying. They all retreated and moved away.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s sense of security instantly soared to new heights.
Fammoth, the Royal Insect Beast, is highly aggressive and usually transforms into hair to protect the Beastmaster's head.
Back when they were traveling through the air, Professor Bilet mostly used Fammoth, so Qiao Sang was no stranger to it.
“What should we do next?” Qiao Sang asked.
Birit thought for a moment and said, “We should find a place to stay first.”
Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment. “Haven’t you already booked a place to stay?”
Birit glanced at her. “We came so suddenly, how could we have had time to book anything?”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Fine, fine, free-spirited… Qiao Sang suggested, “How about we stay at the Beastmaster Center?”
Even in Zone Thirty, the Beastmaster Center is a safe place.
“Alright,” Birit nodded. “Let’s go to the Beastmaster Center.”
Exiting the airport, Qiao Sang held Fangy and sat on Steel Treasure’s back, while Birit sat on Fammoth’s back.
The two of them flew up into the sky.
Despite its small size, Fammoth’s aura of strength made the surrounding wild beast companions keep their distance.
Indeed, informing Professor Bilet was the right decision… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she looked down from the sky.
Below, there were many wild beast companions walking around, with several of them carrying people on their backs.
Unlike the Lower Ten Districts she had visited, Zone Thirty had almost no vehicles on the roads. It seemed that familiars were the primary mode of transportation.
At that moment, a large clump of green droppings fell from the sky.
Just as it was about to land on Qiao Sang’s head, the green droppings stopped in mid-air.
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker appeared, its eyes glowing blue.
“Ya!”
Fangy looked up, baring his teeth in a fierce expression.
Higher up, a bird familiar about six meters in size with a regretful look on its face flapped its wings and flew away.
“What’s going on?” Qiao Sang, hearing the commotion from Fangy and Treasure Seeker, turned around to look.
When she saw the clump of droppings that had just fallen from where they had passed, she instantly understood.
Damn, almost got pooped on… Qiao Sang felt a wave of relief and looked at Treasure Seeker. “Can you get me a hat?”
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker nodded and took off the ring.
Birit turned his head and looked over. “Do you have any extra hats? Get one for me too.”
A minute later, both of them were wearing caps.
With Fammoth around and the intimidating appearance of Steel Treasure, they didn’t encounter any wild beast companions that tried to attack them along the way. Their journey went smoothly.
…
An hour later.
Beastmaster Center.
The staff member at the window apologized, “I’m sorry, but all our rooms are fully booked.”
Before Birit could say anything, a passerby nearby looked astonished.
“You want to stay at the Beastmaster Center, and you didn’t book in advance?”
Birit asked, “Is it usually this crowded here?”
“Are you new here?” the passerby countered.
Birit nodded.
“No wonder,” the passerby’s eyes filled with sympathy and pity. “In terms of accommodation, the Beastmaster Center in Zone Thirty is the safest place. You usually have to book a month in advance. There are only a few hotels with decent security measures, and they’re all fully booked unless you book ahead. If you haven’t booked anything, I’m afraid you won’t get a good night’s sleep here.”
Hearing this, Qiao Sang felt a sense of unease.
Birit’s expression didn’t change much. “Thank you, I understand.”
“So what do we do now?” Qiao Sang asked once they moved aside.
“We can’t waste time looking for a place to stay,” Birit said, as if he had already thought it through. “We’ll just sleep on the ground here.”
Qiao Sang: “???”
