Chapter 1649

Chapter 634 – Half-Hidden Spirit (Part Two)

“Superstar Beast Taming Club, Miles…” Qiao Sang looked at the purple-haired woman in the tree, his heart sinking. Miles

was one of the three participants in the Interstellar Beast Taming Championship, under 100 years old, and had even participated in the previous Interstellar Cup. How could she be here…?

“Miles…” Laufey was first stunned, then shocked, lowering his voice,

“Miles, she’s also an S-rank professional beast tamer from the Superstar Beast Taming Club, possessing three Emperor-level pets. We haven’t received any news of her entering Secret Realm 2.”

Of course I know who she is… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with information about the other woman’s three Emperor-level pets, his heart sinking.

Of his own pets, only Lu Bao had reached Emperor-level. Although Steel Bao could temporarily evolve into Emperor-level, it was only for show, not for actual combat. Frankly, he was no match for her.

To defeat her, he could only rely on Teacher Michaela…

Qiao Sang pondered, his gaze subtly falling on the white, patterned, round tree fruit on the tree.

This is the Myriad Source Fruit. The fact that it’s still on the tree means it’s not ripe yet…

A thought flashed through his mind as Miles, perched on the tree, squinted and smiled,

“You want the Myriad Source Fruit? But it’s not ripe yet.”

This girl definitely knows me and has seen my information… Qiao Sang glanced at her and said,

“If it were ripe, would you give it to me?”

Miles shook her head with a smile,

“I’m afraid not. Our Beast Taming Club also needs this Myriad Source Fruit. If the club members know I’m here and you took the Myriad Source Fruit from me, they’ll definitely hold me accountable.”

Then, she suddenly remembered something, her smile widening, and said,

“However, if you join our Super Star Beast Taming Club, I believe this Myriad Source Fruit will definitely be yours.”

Laufey hesitated upon hearing this, afraid that Qiao Sang would sell herself to the Super Star Beast Taming Club for a single Myriad Source Fruit.

“I’ve already joined the Beast Taming Club,” Qiao Sang said.

Laufey: “???”

Miles scoffed, looking unconvinced:

“I don’t know you joined any Beast Taming Club. This isn’t just an excuse to avoid joining our Super Star Beast Taming Club, is it?”

Seeing her expression, Josang felt slightly relieved.

Judging from her demeanor, the other woman didn’t seem to want to fight or cause conflict.

“It’s not an excuse,” Josang said. “I joined the Beast Taming Club before I became famous. It’s also on Super Star; you should be able to find out about it.”

“What’s it called?” Miles asked.

“It’s called…” Josang said, while secretly giving Little Treasure a wink, her eyes saying:

Leave quickly, go to Teacher Michaela.

Little Treasure understood, her eyes glowing blue.

However, the next second, a semi-circular barrier suddenly appeared in mid-air.

“Xunxun…”

The blue light in Little Treasure’s eyes faded, and she silently floated towards her Beast Tamer.

Laufey’s expression changed upon seeing this.

The Netherworld Barrier, a Ghost-type Super-tier skill, can block attacks while also imbuing the barrier with a ghostly aura. Attacking the barrier has a chance to cause the opponent to flinch and suffer mental interference. It can also restrict the movement of targets within the barrier, preventing them from teleporting outside, using spatial teleportation, or summoning pets from outside the barrier into it.

Furthermore, it can even change the scenery within the barrier based on the thoughts of the summoning pet, confusing the opponent.

Moreover, unlike most barrier skills, this skill allows those outside to enter undetected, but like other barrier skills, they are completely blocked from leaving.

It has some uses in various aspects, but its power isn’t top-tier. However, due to its numerous barrier functions and considerable overall strength, the Beast Taming Alliance classifies it as Super-tier.

The scene I just witnessed must have been caused by the Netherworld Barrier… Qiao Sang’s expression remained unchanged as she looked at the empty space next to Miles.

Although nothing was visible to the n*ked eye, with her spiritual vision, she clearly saw a ghost-type pet beast, mostly purple and with a body seemingly composed of gas, quietly sitting there.

A semi-hidden spirit, a ghost-type Emperor-level pet beast, is an extremely rare ghost-type pet beast on the Super Star. It possesses the innate skill “Invisibility,” allowing it to transform into the shadow of any creature, infiltrate its shadow, and move alongside it, concealing its own aura and remaining undetected.

If its proficiency in Invisibility is high enough, it can even help other people or pets transform into shadows, concealing their aura and carrying out actions.

Miles’s expression suddenly turned displeased:

“Weren’t we chatting? How could you…”

Before she could finish, Qiao Sang said:

“Down.”

Little Treasure Hunter didn’t hesitate, its eyes glowing purple.

Immediately afterward, a huge black hole suddenly appeared where Qiao Sang and Laufey were standing.

The two of them, along with Little Treasure Hunter, fell into the black hole.

The Sky Bird in mid-air transformed into blue light and rushed into the black hole, afraid it would be too late.

Just as the little treasure hunter was about to disappear, it looked at the half-hidden spirit, placed its short toe under its eyelids, pulled it down, stuck out its tongue, and revealed a defiant expression.

The black hole vanished.

The ground returned to calm.

The half-hidden spirit was stunned.

Was that little guy just provoking it?

Miles was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter: “Interesting! Really very interesting!”

After saying that, she suddenly stopped laughing, looked at the half-hidden spirit, and said:

“Did you leave any trace of their aura on their shadows?”

“Half-half.”

The half-hidden spirit came back to its senses and nodded.

“Good.” Miles looked impatient and said: “Let’s go find her now.”

Saying that, she stood up.

“Half-half?”

The half-hidden spirit looked hesitant, pointed to the Myriad Source Fruit above, and called out, indicating what to do with the Myriad Source Fruit?

Miles looked up at the Myriad Source Fruit, showing an annoyed expression, and said:

“Can’t this thing be ripe now?”

The half-hidden spirit remained silent.

“Then let’s bring them back,” Miles said, sitting cross-legged again, elbows resting on her bent knees, palms propping up half her cheeks, head tilted slightly, as if waiting.

“Half-half,”

the half-hidden spirit called, then its entire body suddenly turned black, becoming a tangible shadow.

Immediately afterward, the shadow’s claws twitched slightly, as if trying to connect to something.

…

In a ravaged forest, Jossan, Laufey, and Little Treasure Hunter appeared out of thin air.

Laufey looked around at the scene, sighed in relief, and said,

“Thank goodness you were quick-witted, otherwise facing…”

Jossan interrupted,

“Contact Teacher Stein and the others now, quickly tell Teacher Michaela about our situation, we need to reunite with them as soon as possible.”

“Okay, I’ll contact them now.” Laufey finished speaking and quickly called out to the Tongtong Beast.

“Tongtong.”

The Tongtong Beast appeared.

“Contact Stein,” Laufey said.

“Tongtong.”

Tongtong nodded, then its eyes glowed blue and its ears perked up.

After a moment, the blue light in its eyes faded, and it shook its head:

“Tongtong.”

Unable to contact. Unable

to contact? Josang’s heart sank, and a bad premonition arose inexplicably.

Laufey glanced at the translated content on her phone, her heart also sinking, and quickly said:

“Contact Bjorn.”

“Tongtong.”

Tongtong nodded, and the blue light in its eyes shone again.

Soon, the blue light in its eyes faded, and it shook its head again…

“Under what circumstances would Tongtong lose contact with its own kind?” Josang asked.

“When Tongtong runs out of power or is unconscious,” Laufey said in a deep voice.

After speaking, she thought of something and analyzed,

“According to the information I received, the S-rank professional beast tamer sent by the Super Star Beast Taming Club is Fermi. Senior Michaela also sensed that the Emperor-level pet beast was in the direction Tongtong Beast pointed. I suspect that Fermi is very likely there, and they might be fighting right now.”

“Then we need to reunite as soon as possible.” After saying that, Qiao Sang made a decisive move, looking at Little Treasure Hunter, wanting it to use spatial teleportation to conduct a wide-area search and location.

However, the moment she looked at Little Treasure Hunter, she suddenly sensed something and looked down at her own shadow.

She saw the black shadow on the ground move forward slightly, elongate slightly, and turn its head left and right, as if it had come to life.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Qiao Sang’s scalp tingled, her pupils shrank sharply, and she subconsciously took a step back, as if she had been frightened, feeling inexplicably terrified.

My shadow is moving even when I’m not moving?!

What kind of ghost-type pet beast is behind this!

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao also saw its own shadow moving and was immediately startled, showing a ghostly expression. It quickly floated to its Beastmaster’s side and shouted, indicating that there was a ghost!

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao appeared and looked down at its own shadow.

Nothing had changed.

“Xiaxia…”

Xiabao saw everyone looking at its shadow and also looked down.

Suddenly, its shadow tugged at the bud part of its neck.

“Xiaxia!”

Xiabao screamed in fright.

“It’s Shadow Binding!” Laufey also saw its own shadow moving and its expression changed. It said, “It’s a skill used by a half-hidden spirit!”

After saying that, it thought of something and tried to form a hand seal, but its hands were instantly controlled and bound behind its back.

Laufey: “!!!”

Shadow Binding, a ghost-type super-level skill, is considered an advanced version of Dark Shadow Control. In addition to directly controlling the shadow of the other party, it can also directly control the shadows of all things around it.

If one’s proficiency reaches a certain level, one can leave their aura or energy in the target’s shadow, binding them. If the target leaves, one can connect with the target’s shadow using the energy left behind, controlling it like a chain binding the target and pulling them back into one’s field of vision.

The distance that can be controlled depends mainly on the energy and proficiency of the pet using the skill.

The Shadow Binding control of the semi-hidden spirit is at the perfect level! Qiao Sang quickly searched for the key information in the relevant data, her heart tightening.

With the semi-hidden spirit’s level and energy, it could completely control them back through their shadows!

In a flash of thought, the shadows began to move forward on their own, and Qiao Sang and Laufey began to move forward uncontrollably.

“Xunxun!”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao cried out in fright.

“I won’t go! I won’t go!”

it shouted, its eyes glowing blue, but both instantaneous and spatial teleportation failed.

“Xunxun! Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao cried even louder.

“Qingqing?” Qingbao looked at its Beastmaster and Little Xunbao, then at itself, a puzzled expression on its face.

Why wasn’t it moving?

Then, a smirk appeared on its lips as it transformed into the wind and arrived beside the constantly moving Little Xunbao, a smug look on its face, calling out,

“Qingqing.”

It seemed like only I wasn’t being controlled.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao cried, tears streaming down its face.

It didn’t want to go over there! It had just provoked that terrifying guy! It would kill me!

“That’s because you transformed into the wind earlier, and the other party couldn’t find your shadow!” Qiao Sang shouted.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao suddenly understood, a “So that’s how it is” expression on its face.

Then it floated to its Beastmaster’s side, moving alongside him while circulating its energy, raising its claws, instantly condensing a giant pink hammer, intending to smash it at the shadow.

“Wait!” Qiao Sang quickly stopped it, “Using this skill to attack won’t work!”

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao dissipated the pink giant hammer in its hand. Seeing its Beastmaster still being controlled and moved, it finally became anxious and cried out, indicating what skill it needed to use.

At this moment, Laufey asked,

“Does Little Xunbao have the skill to cut shadows?”

“No!” Qiao Sang said.

“Then become invisible!” Laufey suggested.

Qiao Sang immediately understood and shouted to Little Xunbao, who was still screaming beside her,

“Be invisible! Little Xunbao, become invisible quickly!”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao cried as it became invisible.

The shadow disappeared.

Little Xunbao also stopped being forced to move.

The crying stopped abruptly.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao was stunned at first, then showed a look of surprise.

“Quickly help us become invisible too!” Qiao Sang shouted.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao cried.

I’m coming!

After saying that, it teleported to its Beastmaster’s side and placed its paw on its shoulder.

Qiao Sang became invisible and stopped in place.

Finally, it stopped… Qiao Sang breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao looked at Xiaoxunbao and called out in rare praise, indicating that you were still somewhat useful.

“Xunxun~”

Xiaoxunbao puffed out its chest, revealing a proud “that’s right” expression.

“Stop chatting for now, quickly make Teacher Laufey and Xiabao stop too!” Qiao Sang said.

“Xunxun!”

Xiaoxunbao first showed an “obedient” expression, then it raised its paw, looked at Xiabao and the human named Laufey who were getting further and further away, and the Light Sky Bird, and fell silent:

“Xunxun…”

Its paw was too short, it seemed that it couldn’t reach…

“Dark Shadow!” Qiao Sang reminded.

“Xunxun~”

Xiaoxunbao’s eyes glowed with purple light.

Instantly, a Netherworld Lord about thirty meters in size, looking exactly like it, appeared out of thin air, took a step forward, and made various parts of its body touch Xiabao, Laufey and the Light Sky Bird.

All the figures disappeared at the same time.

……

At the same time, on the tree with the Myriad Source Fruit, the Half-Hidden Spirit shook its head at Miles and called out:

“Half-Half”.
