Chapter 855: Weak Pig King
Chapter 855: Weak Pig King
There was no time to think as the deep, swirling vortex quickly transformed into a torrent of water, surging upward and hurtling toward Steel Treasure.
"Steel Slash!"
Steel Treasure's massive wings flapped forcefully, and a white light condensed around its body as it swiftly dodged in the sky.
Damn, this speed... The wind howled, and Qiao Sang's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. She had to grip Steel Treasure's feathers tightly.
Then she had an idea and shouted aloud:
"Hold on to me!"
Even without gripping the feathers, Migala remained as steady as a rock. She paused for a moment, then reached out to wrap her arms around Qiao Sang's waist.
The massive torrent of water pursued them like a mad serpent.
Although Steel Treasure used High-Speed Movement with Flash of Lightning, the water's speed was clearly superior.
Just as it was about to catch up, a flame-like figure suddenly appeared at the front of the water, releasing a red-golden beam.
"Bang!"
A deafening explosion echoed, and a terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, carrying a violent blast.
The clouds trembled.
The pond below shook violently.
Amid the raging shockwave, a white light burst forth.
It was Steel Treasure, continuously using Flash of Lightning.
Fangy, you're finally awake... Qiao Sang turned to look at the location of the shockwave, feeling a sense of relief.
Fangy's sleep was too deep. In the half-hour he lay there, the wild beast companion in the pond had not yet begun its actions, and Fangy had already fallen asleep due to the Water Sleep Gas.
At the time, she was pretending to sleep and couldn't wake Fangy directly.
But it's good he's awake now...
As this thought flashed through her mind, a flame burst out from the shockwave, charging straight toward the Hydroknight in the pond.
The opportunity has come. Though the Hydroknight is strong, there's only one of them... Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and she shouted, "Take the frog!"
To complete this mission, capturing the Channel Frog that had taken Liu Bo was the most important task. She had no need to confront the Hydroknight head-on!
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy's body was enveloped in fierce flames. When he was only ten meters away from the Hydroknight, he opened his mouth, revealing fangs wrapped in flames.
At the same time, a massive flame Kiru head formed in front of him, also baring its fangs. The heat it emitted instantly ignited the surrounding air as it lunged at the Hydroknight's head.
"Water Bind."
The Hydroknight's gaze was sharp, and it showed no sign of retreating.
The water in the pond suddenly churned violently, as if a massive creature were about to emerge from below.
Then, a steel-like tail, over ten meters long, shot out of the water and lashed toward Fangy and the massive flame Kiru head.
At the same time, the Treasure Seeker's eyes glowed blue as it focused on a figure in the pond.
With a loud "bang", the flames exploded, and the massive flame Kiru head instantly dissipated.
Amid the shower of sparks, Fangy clamped down on the Hydroknight's tail with a death grip.
"Water Bind."
The Hydroknight showed signs of impatience, and its tail whipped upward, carrying Fangy along with it.
Then, it lowered its tail, and its speed suddenly increased.
"Come back!" Qiao Sang shouted.
Fangy released the Hydroknight's tail and teleported back to his Beastmaster's side.
The steel tail, over ten meters long, slashed through the air with a terrifying sound and struck the pond with a heavy thud.
A magnificent water curtain rose and then fell like rain.
The Hydroknight looked up at the sky. When it saw a certain figure, its expression changed, and it looked down at its chest.
The Channel Frog that had been on its foot was now gone.
"Water Bind!"
The Hydroknight looked up at the sky again, its face filled with rage as it roared.
It felt like it had been tricked.
Even a Master-level Flame Fang didn't cause any damage to this Hydroknight. Such formidable defensive strength without steel attributes—this must be the difference between a King-level familiar and a Champion-level familiar... Seeing that the Hydroknight seemed unharmed, Qiao Sang felt a chill and didn't hesitate to shout:
"Go!"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker's claws clutched the unconscious Channel Frog, its eyes glowing with Blue Light.
However, in the next second, it had to dissipate the Blue Light once again.
A semicircular Water Curtain Screen had risen around Yuan Jiewen and Bladeclaw, who were lying on the ground, blocking them from view and rendering Spatial Shift ineffective.
"Water Curtain Screen, as proficiency increases, the Water-Type energy within the Barrier becomes more concentrated. A water screen that can block energy sensing and coordinate effects should have reached Mastery Level. Unless your Ghost Ring King's energy is similar or nearly the same as the familiar's who cast the Water Curtain Screen, it won't be able to directly transfer anyone inside the screen", Lin Shi's voice rang out from behind.
"From the looks of it, the Ghost Ring King's energy is far weaker than the familiar's who cast the Water Curtain Screen."
Master, you know so much... Qiao Sang's thoughts briefly wavered, but she quickly refocused on the current situation.
She kept a close eye on the figure that had condensed and expanded from the water waves beside the Water Curtain Screen.
About six meters in size, its back was primarily blue, with irregular white spots scattered across it.
Weak Pig King, a Water-Type Champion-level familiar, known for chasing prey and consuming fish-type familiars, is a rather brutal Water-type Companion Beast... Qiao Sang recalled the information about this familiar.
Treasure Seeker had only recently reached the General Class, so it was normal for its energy to be far weaker than a Champion-level Weak Pig King.
However, it wasn't a problem. Her goal wasn't to defeat them; she just needed to break the water screen and take Yuan Jiewen and Bladeclaw with her... With that thought, Qiao Sang immediately shouted, "Break!"
"Fangy!"
Fangy let out a loud cry, opened its mouth, and quickly shot a terrifying beam of red and gold light at the Water Curtain Screen.
"Weak weak."
Weak Pig King wore a contemptuous expression.
In the next moment, the semicircular Water Curtain Screen suddenly dissipated, revealing the two unconscious figures inside.
Qiao Sang: "!!"
Qiao Sang felt her mind explode with shock and she immediately shouted, "Treasure Seeker!"
Migala's expression tightened.
This speed... it's too late...
It's over, too late... Qiao Sang's heart was filled with despair.
She was all too familiar with Treasure Seeker's Spatial Shift. Even without a specific target, it required time to condense energy.
This wasn't a battlefield match; she had underestimated the intelligence and cruelty of wild beast companions.
Now, she could only pray that Yuan Jiewen and Bladeclaw would be alright, waiting for Lulu to heal them...
Bladeclaw, being a Champion-level familiar like Fangy, would at most suffer severe injuries.
Yuan Jiewen, as a C-Class Beastmaster, having received multiple replenishments, should be able to hold on for a while.
Just as Qiao Sang thought Fangy's Blazing Bomb would hit Yuan Jiewen and Bladeclaw, the surrounding air suddenly dropped in temperature.
The pond, Weak Pig King, Hydroknight, and the Blazing Bomb, which was only 0.1 centimeters away from Yuan Jiewen and Bladeclaw, all froze into ice in an instant.
"Ice Age..." (End of Chapter)
