Chapter 1650

Chapter 635 – Reunion (Part 2)

Suddenly, all the shadows vanished.

Miles frowned, confirming, “All the shadows?”

“Half and half,”

the half-hidden spirit nodded.

Miles couldn’t contain herself and stood up, saying,

“No, I have to go find her now.”

“Half and half,”

the half-hidden spirit called, pointing to the Myriad Source Fruit above, indicating that with the fruit there, the human named Qiao Sang would likely return sooner or later.

Miles sat back down cross-legged, complaining,

“You know, all I wanted was to talk to her a little longer, did she really have to run away?”

The half-hidden spirit remained silent.

Knowing its own beast tamer, it knew she had come to this planet specifically for the competition and entered this secret realm; it wasn’t just to chat with the human named Qiao Sang. If Qiao Sang hadn’t escaped, its own beast tamer would definitely have intervened and made her fight.

To put it bluntly, her beast tamer’s purpose in coming here was to fight the other party. She came to the secret realm only because she felt she might not be assigned to a group in the competition arena, so a battle outside the competition would be fine.

Of course, as a taciturn pet, it wouldn’t easily reveal its inner thoughts.

“You said she ran away so fast just now, was it because she recognized me, or because she recognized you?” Miles suddenly thought of something and asked.

The half-hidden spirit didn’t speak.

Miles glanced at it.

“Half-half.”

The half-hidden spirit called out, indicating that another human had introduced you to the human named Qiao Sang earlier.

“What? There was another human just now?” Miles’s expression showed a moment of astonishment.

The half-hidden spirit didn’t speak.

Her beast tamer was often like this, always seeing only what she wanted to see among a group of humans and a group of pets, ignoring the others.

There’s a word for humans… arrogance.

“Half-half.”

The half-hidden spirit nodded calmly.

Miles thought for a moment and finally remembered that there was indeed such a person.

Then, she remembered another person:

“Where’s Josang’s mentor? Why wasn’t she here?”

“Half-Half,”

the half-hidden spirit called out, indicating that the human should have gone to the other side.

After saying that, it thought of something and called out again:

“Half-Half?”

Should she go help?

If her own beast tamer wanted to help, she wouldn’t need to go herself. However, based on its understanding of its own beast tamer, she would be eager to fight that human named Josang and would even go there on her own initiative, but if it was about helping, she definitely wouldn’t go.

Sure enough, Miles said coldly:

“What would I do if I went to help? If that old guy Fermi is defeated, it only means that he’s not strong enough.”

The half-hidden spirit didn’t speak.

Miles glanced at it.

“Half-Half?”

the half-hidden spirit called out, indicating that if that human named Fermi was defeated, Josang would meet up with her mentor. If they came together, wouldn’t we be unable to protect the Myriad Source Fruit?

“Can’t hold on?” Miles chuckled. “Just because of a Beastmaster who participated in the Interstellar Cup years ago and was eliminated in the first round?”

Her words carried a hint of disdain.

Qiao Sang’s file included information about her mentor.

If all of Michaela’s pets were with her, she might be wary, but her pets were scattered across various planets. Even if she wanted to summon them all, she couldn’t. She didn’t think someone who had only participated in the Interstellar Cup once, was eliminated in the preliminaries, and whose pets weren’t all with her now could be her opponent.

“Half-Half?”

Half-Hidden Spirit called out.

What if they couldn’t hold on?

Miles stood up, reached out and touched the Myriad Source Fruit growing on the tree, sighing, “Then we’ll just have to destroy this Myriad Source Fruit.”

Half-Hidden Spirit didn’t speak.

Her Beastmaster was always like that.

All that talk about giving the other party a Myriad Source Fruit if they joined the Super Star Beastmaster Club was a lie. She wouldn’t let the other party gain resources and become stronger right under her nose.

…

In a ravaged forest, a group of figures remained hidden, except for one cyan figure that was visible.

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao looked around.

“Xiaxia,”

Xiabao called out.

Qingbao followed the sound, sensing the wind and pinpointing the location, calling out,

“Qingqing.”

So you’re here.

“Xiaxia,”

Xiabao’s eyes crinkled as she called out, then a happy expression appeared on her face. Using the power of the contract, she located her Beastmaster and floated towards her.

The instant it left the giant Netherworld Lord, its form and shadow appeared simultaneously.

The shadow moved, performing a different action than its true form.

“Don’t move!” Qiao Sang shouted upon seeing this, “Little Xunbao!”

Xiabao was startled by her Beastmaster’s voice and remained rooted to the spot.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao cried out, indicating its arrival!

With that, the giant Netherworld Lord swung its massive claw, making contact with Xiabao again.

Xiabao vanished once more.

“You can’t move around right now, and you can’t leave Little Treasure Hunt,” Qiao Sang said earnestly. “Otherwise, if your shadow shows up, you’ll be controlled.”

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Bao nodded, indicating that she understood.

Laufey breathed a sigh of relief and said,

“Luckily, the Underworld Lord is outside. Otherwise, in that situation, we wouldn’t have been able to summon our pets, and we wouldn’t know what to do.”

“Do we need to stay invisible?” Qiao Sang asked.

To be honest, if I stay invisible, it will be very inconvenient to move around. Even if I go to Teacher Michaela, I might just cause trouble. After all, everyone needs to stay close together, and if we are attacked, we can’t spread out and move.

Laufey pondered for a moment, then said,

“Currently, yes, the semi-hidden spirit’s Shadow Binding control proficiency is clearly not low…”

Qiao Sang interjected, “It’s at the Perfect level.”

Laufey paused, then said in a deep voice,

“If an Emperor-level pet beast’s Shadow Binding control is at the Perfect level, the residual aura and energy in the shadow will persist for a considerable period of time. Unless there’s a specific skill to purify the aura and energy in the shadow, or the distance between you and the pet beast casting this skill is too great, the aura and energy will automatically disappear, or the semi-hidden spirit will feel it can no longer control us with Shadow Binding control, and it will dissipate the aura and energy.”

She paused, then added,

“If it only leaves aura and energy, this amount of energy is nothing to a pet beast of the semi-hidden spirit’s level. I think even if it can’t sense our shadows, it won’t actively dissipate the aura and energy.”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao understood and called out, indicating that it would teleport now to a farther place to see if it could make the aura and energy in the shadow disappear!

“Don’t bother trying,” Qiao Sang said. “In the secret realm, I think it’s useless no matter where you move.”

She now had a full understanding of the strength of Emperor-level pets and the power of some super-level skills. The perfect level of Shadow Binding Control used by Emperor-level pets should be effective within a third of Blue Star. Although Secret Realm No. 2 was listed as an A-level secret realm, that referred to the level of danger; its area was definitely not as large as a third of Blue Star.

As long as it didn’t leave Secret Realm No. 2, no matter where Little Treasure teleported, its shadow would definitely be detected and controlled by the Semi-Hidden Spirit.

“Xunxun…”

Little Treasure showed an “okay” expression.

It didn’t doubt its Beastmaster’s judgment.

Laufey didn’t refute, but instead said,

“Let’s go to Senior Michaela first; perhaps he has a way.”

“Tongtong Beast can’t contact other Tongtong Beasts right now. How can we find our teacher as soon as possible?” Qiao Sang asked.

Laufey paused for a moment, then said, “I could have the Skybird search from the air, but its shadow still retains the aura and energy of a semi-hidden spirit, so it can’t leave Little Treasure’s side…”

Before she could finish, Qiao Sang understood, raised her hand, and quickly formed a hand seal.

Three dazzling and magnificent golden star arrays lit up on the ground simultaneously.

Soon after, Tooth Treasure, Steel Treasure, and Thunder Treasure appeared in their respective star arrays.

“Tooth Treasure!”

Tooth Treasure shouted excitedly to the sky, indicating that it had finally come out!

Then, relying on the power of the contract, it accurately looked at the location where its Beastmaster was hidden, showed a slightly aggrieved expression, and called out again:

“Tooth Treasure?”

Wasn’t it supposed to be summoned as soon as it entered the secret realm?

After speaking, it bared its sharp teeth and shouted fiercely:

“Tooth Treasure!”

If it had been outside just now, it definitely wouldn’t have let those humans be so arrogant!

Steel Treasure… Steel Treasure glanced at it, thinking that those humans didn’t seem very arrogant, and were quickly dealt with by its Beastmaster.

Immediately, it thought of the purple-haired human it had seen in the Beast Taming Manual.

Although that human hadn’t attacked its own beast tamer and had even invited it to her club, it seemed that this human was more arrogant. Having

participated in the previous Interstellar Cup, of course, it had the right to be arrogant… Qiao Sang mentally responded to Gang Bao, coughing lightly and saying, “The situation was too urgent before. We had to find the Myriad Source Fruit as soon as possible. Besides, I felt that you didn’t need to intervene with those people, so I didn’t summon them.”

Was this said to Fen Di Duo? Laufey’s expression froze for a moment, looking in the direction Qiao Sang was hiding, then at Ya Bao.

Those people?

Fen Di Duo didn’t need to intervene?

She remembered encountering several S-rank professional beast tamers and Emperor-rank pets. Even if Fen Di Duo summoned them, it wouldn’t be of much use, right?

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao was instantly appeased, calling out, indicating that it understood.

Qiao Sang returned to the main topic, speaking seriously:

“We need to find Teacher Michael and the others as soon as possible. Ya Bao, Gang Bao, Ting Bao, only you guys can move around normally right now…”

“Qing Qing.”

Before he could finish speaking, Qing Bao barked unhappily, indicating that it could move around normally too.

Lu Bao’s head silently popped out of the backpack.

Qiao Sang added, “And Qing Bao, it’s up to you guys to find Teacher Michael and the others.”

“Ya Ya!”

“Gang Quan.”

“Ting Ting.”

“Qing Qing.”

Ya Bao and the others all barked, then quickly scattered, heading in different directions to search.

Lu Bao’s head silently peeked back into the backpack.

“Little Xun Bao, you should also use your spatial teleportation ability to sense it,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao barked, its eyes glowing blue.

“Teacher,” Qiao Sang called out.

Before she could finish speaking, Laufey understood what she was going to say and sighed,

“Of all my pets, only the Skybird is suitable for quick searching. Although I also have a pet with a superpower attribute, it can’t teleport and it’s terrible with directions. Even if it finds the seniors, it can’t come back to tell us its exact location.”

Terrible with directions, no wonder it can’t learn teleportation… Qiao Sang subconsciously thought to herself.

“Xia Xia?”

A thought flashed through her mind, and Xia Bao called out, indicating whether she should ask the plants to help search as well.

She had almost forgotten about Xia Bao’s ability. Yes, even though Xia Bao couldn’t leave Little Treasure Hunt and its movements were restricted, it didn’t prevent it from communicating with plants… Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she said,

“We really need that.”

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Bao’s eyes curved into a smile, and it immediately began to sense the surrounding plants.

The plants were in a mess, large swathes of trees were buried underground, but as Xia Bao sensed them, the greenery above ground still swayed slightly.

Laufey noticed the surrounding plants swaying suddenly without wind and understood something. Curious, she asked,

“Even if these plants are like this, can they still communicate?”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “As long as they’re not completely dead, they should be able to.”

Laufey exclaimed,

“Truly worthy of being a mythical beast! I’ve never seen any other pet possess this ability.”

Just then, Xia Bao suddenly called out,

“Xia Xia.”

It had found its location.

“Xun Xun?”

The blue light in Xia Bao’s eyes faded, revealing a surprised expression.

Really? So fast?

Qiao Sang, unsuspecting, showed delight and quickly asked, “Where is it?”

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Bao raised its paw and pointed in the direction.

Had it found it? Laufey was first taken aback, then quickly asked, “Has it found it?”

Qiao Sang’s face lit up with joy, and she hummed in agreement: “Xia Bao said it found it.”

“Where is it?” Laufey asked.

Xia Bao looked at its pointing paw and remained silent for a moment.

“Xiaxia…”

Xia Bao called out, indicating that it was pointing…

Qiao Sang looked in the direction Xia Bao was hiding, paused for 0.1 seconds, and quickly gave a solution:

“Little Xunbao, you touch Xia Bao with your main body, and then sense the location together with it to locate it.”

When the proficiency of spatial movement reaches the profound level, as long as there is enough energy, it can not only locate with the contracted beast master, but also with any other creature.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out, and then teleported to Xia Bao’s side with its beast master, placing its other paw on its body.

The next second, a large area of the secret realm appeared in their minds in a three-dimensional form.

Xia Bao communicated with the plants while searching the scene in its mind.

“Xiaxia!”

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Bao called out excitedly.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao’s eyes lit up with blue light, and it disappeared from the spot with its group of figures.

Qiao Sang’s vision went black for a moment, and when the light returned, what she saw was a scene of Penjami standing on a book-like pet on a completely ruined ground.
