Snowflakes abruptly stopped falling.
However, it was already too late. Qiao Sang was covered all over with ice flowers, frozen in place, as if she were a sculpture carved from ice.
"Bingke!"
Lubao’s face changed drastically, anxiously pacing around her Beast Tamer.
The despair lingering from the past two days must have affected Lubao, causing its emotions to fluctuate easily and preventing it from remaining as calm as before.
"Xun Xun!"
Xiao Xunbao, who had previously sensed something amiss and teleported out of the range of snowflakes, teleported back, extended its paw, let out a cry to indicate not to panic, asserting it had a solution.
With that, it lifted its paw.
A thick and pure white energy instantly converged on its paw.
Ah, so it wasn’t real snow after all, but rather the Ice Flower Seal cast by Lubao... Holy shit! Wait! Stop! You little punk, you’re actually going to use Splitting Tiles? Just let Lubao use Healing Light! Don’t use Splitting Tiles! Qiao Sang’s mind was flooded with "Holy shit" while she screamed inwardly.
Although she was immobilized by the ice, her consciousness was still clear.
She could think and see everything happening outside the ice shell.
She almost coughed up blood when she saw Xiao Xunbao about to use Splitting Tiles.
What if it went wrong and she got split apart?
Just as Qiao Sang’s heart was on the verge of collapse, the gravel ground suddenly exploded, and four thick, serpent-like thorny vines burst forth and attacked Lubao and Xiao Xunbao.
"Xun Xun!"
Xiao Xunbao had to halt the Splitting Tiles action, quickly cast two shadows with the tip of its paw, and tied up its frozen Beast Tamer before teleporting ten meters away to dodge the thorny vine attack.
"Bingke!"
Lubao swiftly retreated two steps backward, cold light emerging, its claws crossed, cutting through the incoming thorny vines with great precision.
Thorny vines fell to the ground.
Lubao looked up angrily at the three creatures descending from above and recognized the one it had attacked earlier.
Even though I don’t know what you’re called, thank you... Qiao Sang nearly teared up with gratitude.
"Yin Yin!"
"Yin Yin!"
The central green Pet Beast, clearly smaller than the two beside it, cried out twice like a child tattling.
"Yin Yin."
The expressions of the two slightly older green Pet Beasts beside it grew angrier as they listened.
At the same time, their wings tucked back, and a wild wind surged up, sweeping the plants around them.
All around, small Pet Beasts, which were clearly of low to intermediate tiers, ran away in fear.
Then, a green light radiated from the two Pet Beasts as they dove down from the sky in unison.
"Bingke!"
Lubao, upon seeing this, didn’t back down and focused on the two approaching Beasts, with a huge flow of water swirling around it.
But just then, the two green Pet Beasts diving down seemed to sense something, their breathing turning rapid as they stopped their attack, flapping their wings, hovering in midair without making a sound, just floating there.
At this moment, right before Lubao stood a Pet Beast around six meters tall, mostly gray-black with a golden crown atop its head, emitting a powerful aura as it looked down at them.
Ah, the Dark Magic Shadow... Well, it does resemble one indeed... Qiao Sang thought to herself as she eyed the large silhouette in front of her.
"Bingke..."
Lubao recognized the figure before it, paused momentarily, the water flow around it dissipating as it turned to look at Xiao Xunbao, who was of normal size beside its Beast Tamer.
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao blinked at Lubao, showing an expression that said, "Don’t worry, I’ve got this."
Lubao: "..."
"Yin Yin..."
