Chapter 860: Convergence
Chapter 860: Convergence
Migala stopped her sealing motion.
Boss, what are you talking about... Yuan Jiewen looked over with a bewildered expression.
Help the wild beast companion turn this river water into clean water?
How?
You can’t possibly mean converting and drinking wastewater while using Healing Light to heal at the same time, right?
That’s impossible, right?
Hydroknight remained silent.
However, the gloom in its eyes dissipated somewhat, revealing an expression that said, "Go on."
Qiao Sang had a good understanding of familiars' micro-expressions by now. Despite Hydroknight’s silence, she could see a hint of relaxation in its eyes.
It seems that purifying this river water is really important to Hydroknight...
Qiao Sang felt a bit relieved, gaining more confidence in the upcoming communication.
She covered her mouth and nose and said, "It’s impossible to clean this wastewater by converting it with water alone. But if you let us out later, I can help you clean it up completely."
How? Migala looked at the dirty, foul-smelling, black river water stretching endlessly, wondering if Qiao Sang was just stalling for time.
But what good would stalling do?
Migala couldn’t quite figure out what her student was planning.
"Water Node?"
Hydroknight finally spoke, indicating that it wanted to know how she planned to do it.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy translated through synchronization.
Got it... Qiao Sang didn’t answer but looked at Lulu and nodded.
"Ice Ai."
Lulu, initially stunned by her Beastmaster’s gaze, quickly understood and called out, moving to the edge of the foul-smelling river water.
Everyone and their familiars turned to look at Lulu, including Hydroknight.
"Ice Ai..."
Lulu looked down at the strongly odorous wastewater, wanting to take a deep breath but holding back due to the smell.
She raised her claws and slowly lowered them, trembling.
Just as she was about to touch the water, she paused and turned to look at her Beastmaster.
"Lulu, it’s up to you!" Qiao Sang understood Lulu’s inner struggle and gave her an encouraging look.
Our safe exit from the Hidden Realm depends on you!
"Ice Ai..."
Lulu turned back, her eyes gradually becoming more determined.
She closed her eyes and forcefully plunged her trembling claws into the dirty river water.
"Water Node..."
Hydroknight watched Lulu’s actions expressionlessly, its eyes still carrying a hint of gloom.
But the next moment, it seemed to sense something, and its expression froze, as if it had been stunned.
The surface of the black river water began to shimmer with a deep blue light, rippling in circles.
Yuan Jiewen, watching the scene, suddenly felt something and cautiously took a breath, then moved to Lin Shi’s side, whispering, "Do you feel like the air isn’t as foul anymore?"
Migala stared at the river water, lost in thought.
After a few seconds, she said, "It’s Purify..."
Yuan Jiewen wasn’t unfamiliar with the Purify skill.
Purifying negative effects, curses, and dirty water—different attributes and different skills, all called Purify, were always exam points in student days.
"So it’s Purify. No wonder the boss was confident about cleaning such dirty water", Yuan Jiewen said, understanding dawning on him.
He was both surprised and not surprised that the boss’s familiar could use the Purify skill.
Surprised because purifying dirty water was an advanced skill, extremely rare, not something a high-level water-type companion beast could learn just because of its talent.
But it was the boss, the one who had instantly frozen all water-type companion beasts and water skills and summoned Doomflame, so it made sense.
After all, it’s the boss.
Healing Light was already an advanced skill, so why not another one?
In contrast, Migala’s expression was much more complex.
She knew all too well about Qiao Sang.
At this moment, after processing the scene before her, only one thought remained in her mind:
Another advanced skill...
As a general-class beast companion, Ice Ai had a total of three advanced skills...
Ripples of deep blue light spread out in concentric circles.
The pitch-black river water gradually lightened to a dark gray.
Suddenly, the river water began to bubble, and one by one, weak-looking wild beast companions with black spots on their bodies emerged from the surface, looking at Lulu, who was performing the Purify spell.
Damn, there are still so many wild beast companions in here... Qiao Sang's heart involuntarily tightened, but when she saw the status of these Water-Type wild beast companions, she was taken aback.
They must have been living in this contaminated water for a long time to look like this...
"Ice Ai..."
As thoughts raced through her mind, Lulu's forehead began to sweat. She opened her eyes and extended her claws.
The deep blue ripples in the river water disappeared.
One by one, the Water-Type Companion Beasts stared at Lulu with wide, awe-struck eyes.
Their gaze was like that of a sudden deity.
"Ice Ai..."
Lulu was momentarily stunned by the appearance of the Water-Type Companion Beasts.
Beneath the invisible ground, the spreading contaminated water completely vanished.
"Water Node..."
Hydroknight carefully swam to the shore, moving as gently as if afraid to scare someone. It looked at Lulu, paused for two seconds, and then called out softly.
The sound, the attitude, and the expression showed none of its previous arrogance.
Lulu ignored it and slowly walked over to her Beastmaster.
Hydroknight's gaze then turned to Qiao Sang, its expression deep and contemplative, as if thinking about something.
What a guy, you're really holding back... Hey, why are you looking at me like that... Qiao Sang inwardly complained, glancing at Fangy.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy understood her Beastmaster's meaning and translated appropriately.
This guy is asking if Lulu can stay.
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
He's trying to poach her!
Qiao Sang immediately said, "No, we are together."
"Water Node."
Hydroknight stared at Qiao Sang for two seconds, then sighed and called out again, its expression showing a willingness to compromise.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy looked at her Beastmaster.
This guy says you should stay too.
Qiao Sang: "..."
"We had a deal. I help you purify this contaminated water, and you let us leave safely", Qiao Sang said.
"Water Node."
Hydroknight's attitude improved significantly, and it responded to every word.
It glanced at the dark gray river water and called out, indicating that the water was not yet fully purified.
"This water is too dirty; it can't be completely purified in one go", Qiao Sang waved her hand. "You know, Lulu just used a lot of energy in the battle with you. She needs to rest and recover her energy before she can continue helping you purify the water."
"Water Node!"
Hydroknight looked at Lulu and then suddenly called out loudly.
All the Water-Type Companion Beasts in the river water perked up and plunged their heads into the water.
"Boss, it's probably impossible to completely purify this river water, right?" Yuan Jiewen approached and asked in a low voice.
"No problem, we'll purify as much as we can and see how it goes", Qiao Sang said.
To be honest, she also thought Lulu couldn't completely purify the river water in a short time. Not only was the contamination severe and widespread, but Lulu's Purify skill was still at the Novice Level. However, this was the only way to make Hydroknight willing to let them go and communicate properly.
Seeing Hydroknight's attitude soften, she estimated that after a few more purifications, they could communicate even better...
Five minutes later, Water-Type Companion Beasts with black spots and those without suddenly appeared, swimming over from both sides of the river.
Qiao Sang focused and saw that each one was carrying a full fruit.
Some had the fruits on their backs, while others held them high, making sure they didn't touch the contaminated river water.
At that moment, there was a commotion from above.
Qiao Sang looked up.
Various Flying Beasts, each carrying fruits of different colors, flew down.
There were also the yellow snake familiars they had encountered earlier, numbering in the dozens.
They all carried something and dropped it down.
For a moment, wild beast companions from all directions gathered, creating a rather spectacular scene. (End of Chapter)
