Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 454

Chapter 454: Chapter 426 Black Devouring Troll

As the dust settled, what appeared before everyone was a giant needle ant with stars in its eyes.

Deng Tianyue felt as if he had been struck on the head with a bat, his mind in a daze.

Had he lost just like that?

A buzz of astonishment arose from the spectator stands.

Although there wasn’t much suspense when Bingke Xilu faced a mid-level pet beast like the giant needle ant, this was, after all, the quarterfinals, and every contestant’s mid-level pet beasts were exceptional. To end in less than half a minute was really too fast.

"That was too quick."

"Why couldn’t it hold on a little longer? What if Qiao Sang switches out Bingke Xilu in the next round?"

"I didn’t expect Qiao Sang to actually use tactics with Bingke Xilu against a mid-level pet beast. So sneaky..."

"’Double retribution’ only works if you can withstand the attack; if you can’t hold on, isn’t that just like standing still and getting hit?"

"Probably underestimated the power of Water Jet Thrust. I remember this giant needle ant had taken hits from other high level pet beasts’ skills with ’double retribution’ in earlier matches."

"Bingke Xilu has the Leisurely trait, I’ve seen Qiao Sang’s matches online before."

"No wonder."

"Please, let Qiao Sang keep using Binglu Qia!"

"I’ve studied Qiao Sang’s matches before, she usually sticks with one pet beast throughout. The chances of her continuing with Bingke Xilu are quite high, given her temperament."

...

Qiao Sang, who had been studied by both contestants and spectators, recalled Lubao.

Using Lubao against the Black Devouring Ogre had indeed been her premeditated arrangement.

But the feint had already been used.

Some moves are incredibly effective the first time but using them a second time so shortly after does not yield the same result.

If it gets anticipated from the start, then the rhythm of the ensuing battle could become very unfavorable.

The Black Devouring Ogre had strong offensive capabilities and could convert anything it consumed into energy.

After all, it was the kind of opponent Yaobao liked the most.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Qiao Sang formed hand seals and summoned Yaobao.

"Yaobao!"

Yaobao, facing its opponent, let out a battle-ready cry.

"Black Devour..." The Black Devouring Ogre felt its muscles tense up, an invisible pressure eroding its sense of security.

It was as if it had been targeted by a higher level pet beast than itself.

Deng Tianyue sensed the Black Devouring Ogre’s state and called out, "Little Black."

"Black Devour!"

Upon hearing their Beast Tamer’s voice, the Black Devouring Ogre instantly felt spirited and looked back with equal fighting spirit.

The Black Devouring Ogre was about four meters in size, with its mouth stretching across its entire body and two curved fangs at the back of its upper jaw, exposing outward. Its body was mainly black, and its fearsome appearance could easily play the role of a villain in a TV drama.

When it took to calling earnestly and staring down its opponent, it seemed to be saying: Just you wait!

"Yaobao..."

Faced with such a gaze, Yaobao’s teeth started to itch.

Noise erupted from the stands.

"Bingke Xilu, huh! She actually switched out Bingke Xilu!"

"I feel like Bingke Xilu was on stage for less than a minute!"

"Ah well, it’s good enough that we get to watch; Qiao Sang hadn’t even summoned Bingke Xilu in the matches before."

"Actually, the Liaoxing Dog is pretty good too. I still remember its last match. Afterwards, I looked it up online, there’s still only one like it today."

"True, but the Liaoxing Dog isn’t from our Ancient Mist Region. Besides, that’s a new evolution, its numbers are bound to increase sooner or later; unlike our Bingke Xilu, which is considered rare among all endangered pet beasts."

The chatter in the stands did not affect the arena.

Wide-area defense, a high-level defensive skill, can put a certain range into wide-area defensive status, protecting all of one’s Pet Beasts from harm. It’s hugely popular in double battles or group combat. _{freёwebnovel.com}
