Chapter 638 Ownership (Part Two)

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

A crimson light fell to the ground.

Qiao Sang quickly turned her head to look.

A familiar figure appeared on the ground.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise:

“Ya Bao!”

“Xun Xun!”

Little Xun Bao was equally surprised.

Big Brother Ya Bao!

“Xia Xia!”

Xia Bao followed with excited shouts.

On the ground, Ya Bao, holding the Myriad Source Fruit in its mouth, raised its head and looked at its Beastmaster, calling out:

“Ya…”

Before the sound could be fully uttered, the Myriad Source Fruit in its mouth fell into its throat as it opened its mouth.

Ya Bao subconsciously swallowed, and the Myriad Source Fruit disappeared from its mouth and was swallowed into its stomach.

The scene was silent for a moment.

“…”

“!!!”

Upon seeing this, Qiao Sang’s mind went blank for a moment, and the first thought that came to mind was: Holy crap! Myriad Source Fruit!

Immediately following was the second thought: It’s not bad that Ya Bao ate it, even if it can’t evolve like Gang Bao, it’s still better than not getting the Myriad Source Fruit at all!

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang’s face was filled with surprise again.

This trip to the secret realm wasn’t in vain!

“Xunxun!”

In a flash of thought, Little Xunbao cried out, indicating that Big Brother Yabao had eaten the Myriad Source Fruit!

“Ya Ya?”

Yabao realized what it had done and panicked.

What to do, what to do? It ate the Myriad Source Fruit!

Just as it finished speaking, it suddenly sensed something and teleported high into the sky.

In the instant it disappeared, dozens of dark shadows broke through the frozen ground, bursting out like eerie tentacles, wrapping around Yabao’s original location.

Seeing that the wrapping had failed, the shadows of the surrounding trees suddenly seemed to come alive, bursting out from beneath the thick ice shell, then rapidly expanding, twisting and spreading, fiercely continuing their attack on Yabao.

The semi-hidden spirit, with its innate skill of invisibility, can transform into the shadow of any creature, infiltrating its shadow and moving alongside it, concealing its aura and remaining undetected. Since Lu Bao’s Ice Domain failed to freeze it, it must be using invisibility. Without the semi-hidden spirit revealing itself, Qiao Sang couldn’t launch a real attack… Thinking this, Qiao Sang quickly waved her hand.

The tooth-shaped creature, which had opened its mouth in mid-air, preparing to attack the shadow, vanished.

Now that the Myriad Source Fruit was obtained, there was no need to stay and continue fighting the semi-hidden spirit… Qiao Sang shouted,

“Go!”

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao’s eyes glowed blue, then its expression froze, and it cried out,

“Xun Xun…”

It seemed unable to move…

Shadow Binding… Qiao Sang recalled Little Xun Bao’s use of Shadow Penetration, but how its claws became immobile after extending into the black hole, and also remembered Gang Bao wanting to eat the Myriad Source Fruit but stopping and unable to get closer. A chill ran down her spine.

It seemed that both Little Treasure Hunter and Steel Treasure’s shadows had been imbued with the aura and energy of the Half-Hidden Spirit.

Just then, her hand was suddenly lifted by a force, forcibly forming a hand seal.

“Xunxun!”

Little Treasure Hunter cried out in terror, looking at its Beastmaster’s hand, indicating it was being controlled!

Its Beastmaster’s hand struggled, clearly showing it was being controlled.

Sure enough, its shadow now also retained the Half-Hidden Spirit’s aura and energy… Qiao Sang felt her controlled hand, a thought flashing through her mind, but she wasn’t particularly panicked.

This was the hand seal posture. It seemed the Half-Hidden Spirit wanted her to summon Tooth Treasure. Judging from the shadow’s initial attack on Tooth Treasure, it probably wanted to extract the Myriad Source Fruit from Tooth Treasure’s stomach.

After all, the Myriad Source Fruit had just been swallowed; it wasn’t impossible for the shadow to pry it out. However

, the Half-Hidden Spirit seemed unaware that even if it forced her into the hand seal posture, as long as her consciousness wasn’t connected to the page of the Beastmaster’s Codex that bound Tooth Treasure, she couldn’t summon Tooth Treasure.

Despite these thoughts, she struggled to slow down the hand seals.

“Demon, move,” Qiao Sang whispered.

Steel Treasure’s shadow now carried the aura of a semi-hidden spirit, which she couldn’t summon back. Little Treasure was controlled and too small to simultaneously contact her and Xia Bao, while also being some distance away from Steel Treasure.

To escape control and leave smoothly, she could only do what she had done before.

Little Treasure was initially stunned, then understood, its eyes suddenly lighting up with purple light.

The next second, a Netherworld Lord, about thirty meters tall and identical to it, appeared beside Steel Treasure, placing its claws on its head.

Simultaneously, Little Treasure placed its claws on its Beastmaster and Xia Bao.

Little Treasure’s claws seemed to move easily… Qiao Sang outwardly struggled to avoid forming the hand seals, but a thought struck her again.

The semi-hidden spirit was likely focused on controlling her hand seals; it seemed that when its attention was focused on one area, it weakened its control over others.

As they pondered, all the figures vanished simultaneously.

Almost all the shadows on the ground disappeared, except for a lone black shadow that remained where Qiao Sang’s shadow had been.

Little Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

At the same time, a dense darkness surged from the shadow on the ground, rising like a black tide, twisting and swirling, like a giant curtain, rapidly enveloping and closing in on Qiao Sang, Little Xunbao, and the other hidden figures.

Simultaneously, a terrifying, chilling aura descended.

Little Xunbao’s pupils contracted sharply, his heart skipped a beat, and a strong fear rose within him; the energy circulating within his body involuntarily halted.

Just as they were about to be completely engulfed, Qiao Sang looked into the distance and suddenly shouted,

“Milis!”

The surging black shadow paused.

Little Xunbao’s energy resumed its circulation, and all the figures completely disappeared from their original positions.

The surging black shadow rapidly shrank, coalescing into a semi-hidden spirit.

“Half-half…”

The semi-hidden spirit looked at the spot where Qiao Sang and Little Xunbao had been, a troubled expression on its face.

If the Beastmaster knew that the Myriad Source Fruit had been swallowed by the pet beast of this human named Qiao Sang, and that the beast had escaped, she would definitely be angry…

What to do? Her anger wasn’t the problem, but it would force her to train day and night, making things difficult for herself.

What to do…?

The Half-Hidden Spirit suddenly thought of something and circulated its energy.

The next second, countless dark auras dissipated rapidly from its body like black mist.

“Half-Half…”

The Half-Hidden Spirit found a comfortable position, lay down on the ground, and showed a weak expression.

…

The trees were all buried in the dense forest.

A group of figures appeared out of thin air, invisible.

“Xun Xun…”

Little Xun Bao looked around warily, then breathed a sigh of relief.

That guy was terrifying…

“Bing Luo?”

Lu Bao’s head popped out of the backpack, unusually curious, asking why she couldn’t freeze that guy.

“Because its true form has burrowed into the shadows,” Qiao Sang explained. “Once it’s inside the shadows, non-targeted special attacks won’t work on it.”

“Bingluo…” Lu Bao frowned and burrowed back into its backpack.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xun Bao suddenly remembered something and called out, indicating whether it would encounter this guy in the competition later.

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement: “Its Beastmaster is also a participant in this Interstellar Beastmaster Championship.”

“Xunxun…”

Little Xun Bao immediately looked like the sky had fallen.

It couldn’t beat this guy!

“What are you afraid of?” Qiao Sang looked at it and said, “There are so many participants, we might not even face its Beastmaster.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xun Bao perked up again, showing an “oh right” expression.

“You and Xia Bao locate the teacher’s position, we’ll go meet her.” Qiao Sang remembered the important matter and said.

“Xunxun~”

“Xia Xia.”

Little Xun Bao and Xia Bao called out at the same time, then one’s eyes glowed blue, and the other began to communicate with the surrounding plants.

Qiao Sang quickly formed hand seals.

A dazzling, magnificent golden star array lit up, and Ya Bao quickly appeared within it.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao looked at its Beastmaster, a puzzled expression on its face, and barked, as if asking why it had been recalled to the Beast Taming Manual earlier.

Why else could it be? Of course, it’s because we can’t beat it… Qiao Sang thought to himself, observing Ya Bao’s state, wondering why it seemed to have no change after eating the Myriad Source Fruit…

“If you eat the Myriad Source Fruit and stay there, it will attract more people and pets to vie for it, and then we might not be able to leave,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao suddenly remembered this, its tail drooping, and it barked listlessly, indicating what would happen if it ate the Myriad Source Fruit?

It knew its Beastmaster had come in for the fruit, but now it had eaten the Myriad Source Fruit…

Qiao Sang chuckled,

“I originally wanted the Myriad Source Fruit for you to eat. It’s a good thing you ate it, otherwise it might not have ended up in our hands.”

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao’s eyes lit up, its tail wagged again, and it barked, indicating that it was originally meant for me?

Qiao Sang was silent for 0.1 seconds, then said without changing its expression, “Of course.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao immediately showed a happy expression.

“Gang Quan?”

Gang Bao glanced at its Beastmaster and called out in its mind, indicating that it hadn’t said the Myriad Source Fruit was for me.

Haha, it doesn’t matter who eats it… Qiao Sang responded mentally, then asked, “After you ate the Myriad Source Fruit, did you feel any changes in your body?”

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao felt it for a moment, then barked, indicating that its stomach felt warm and it wanted to sleep. “

Want to sleep…?” Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then said,

“Go back to the Beast Taming Manual first. You just ate the Myriad Source Fruit, so you’ll need some time to digest it. It’s best not to fight.”

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao’s tail drooped again.

Can’t fight…?

“Digest it properly. Once you’ve digested it, your strength will definitely improve, and you’ll be able to perform better in the competition.” Qiao Sang said.

After a pause, she added, “The competition isn’t far off.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao perked up again, its tail wagging, and barked, indicating that it understood.

After speaking, it suddenly yawned uncontrollably.

It was really sleepy. It wondered when it would be able to digest the Myriad Source Fruit… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she waved her hand, putting Ya Bao back into the Beast Taming Manual.

“Gang Quan.”

At this moment, Gang Bao’s voice rang in her mind.

Had Qing Bao and Ting Bao not returned yet?

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, not responding, but simply waving her hand, simultaneously putting Qing Bao and Ting Bao back into the Beast Taming Manual.

The next second after putting them back into the Beast Taming Manual, a dazzling and magnificent star array lit up strangely.

Qing Bao appeared within it.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, “I’m an S-rank Beast Tamer, how come Qingbao can come out of the Beast Taming Manual without being summoned…?

” “Qingqing?”

Qingbao looked around and called out, indicating that it had been summoned back. It didn’t see Michaela either.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Forget about Teacher Michaela, they’ve already got the Myriad Source Fruit…

“Something happened just now. We’ve got the Myriad Source Fruit, and we’ve even figured out a faster way to find Teacher Michaela, so you don’t need to go out looking for him separately,” Qiao Sang said.

“Qingqing?”

“Qingqing?”

Upon hearing this, Qingbao showed an interested expression and called out twice. “

You got the Myriad Source Fruit? How did you get it? Where is it? “

Just as Qiao Sang was about to answer, Xia Bao suddenly called out from the side,

“Xia Xia!”

Found it!

“Xun Xun~”

Immediately afterward, little Xun Bao called out, its eyes flashing blue light.

The next second, the group of figures disappeared from their spot.

…

Qiao Sang’s vision went black. When the light returned, her gaze quickly swept over the surrounding mess, clearly indicating a fierce battle had taken place. Then she quickly looked at Teacher Michaela, Penjami, and Wuyuanwang.

Seeing some injuries on Penjami, her heart sank, and she looked around warily again.

“Don’t look anymore,” Michaela said. “Milis is gone.”

Gone? Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said,

“Lu Bao, heal Mei Mei.”

After saying that, she asked, “When did she leave?”

Lu Bao’s head popped out of the backpack, the gem on its forehead gleaming with an icy blue light, shining on Penjami.

Penjame immediately showed a comfortable expression, and her injuries healed at a visible speed.

“Not long ago,” Michaela smiled, “she seemed to sense something, her expression suddenly turned very ugly, and then her attack became fiercer. Judging from her appearance, I guessed that you must have successfully obtained the Myriad Source Fruit, so I let her go.”

Huh? Didn’t Miles’s expression turn bad at the beginning? What did she sense? The half-hidden spirit was clearly not injured, could it have some skill that allows it to communicate with its beast tamer over a long distance? Qiao Sang’s brain subconsciously began to ponder.

Just as she was thinking, Michaela asked,

“Did you get the Myriad Source Fruit?”

Her tone was not worried at all. Knowing Qiao Sang as she did, if she hadn’t obtained the Myriad Source Fruit, she certainly wouldn’t be here now.

Josang laughed, “Got it.”

Michaela smiled brightly, “I knew you could do it. To be honest, I was a little worried when I found out the Half-Hidden Spirit hadn’t been transferred, but then I thought, if it were you, you could definitely do it.”

She then looked at Steel Treasure beside her, scrutinizing him from head to toe with a puzzled expression.

Josang understood what she was thinking and said,

“The Myriad Source Fruit was eaten by Tooth Treasure.”

Michaela: “?”

…

Meanwhile.

On the other side, Miles looked at the Half-Hidden Spirit lying on the ground, looking weak, her face grim.
