The beast starts from zero

Chapter 923: Cave Rat and Leaf Stone (Two in One)

"Let's go." Seeing that the Dark-Eyed Bird had recovered from its injuries, Qiao Sang was unwilling to stay any longer.

He is not a kind person, he just saw the Dark-Eyed Bird and remembered Steel Treasure who was injured before the contract was signed.

After saying that, he turned and walked in the direction he had originally decided.

After walking two steps, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and pointed in the direction where the Anji birds had flown, and said:

"I saw your herd flying in that direction when I came here."

"Dark Eyes."

The dark-eyed bird took a deep look at the human in front of it, called out to express its gratitude, then flapped its wings and flew in the direction pointed.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao floated to the side and sighed, saying that it was a pity to let it go like this, and that they should let it help find the seeds.

One more intermediate dark-eyed bird is of little use in this huge secret realm. If I want to find the Lele seeds, I still have to rely on Guo Ruiqi. Besides, if wild pets were so easy to communicate with and help, I would have rescued every injured one I saw... In order to avoid speaking out what he was thinking, Qiao Sang pretended that he hadn't heard anything and moved forward according to the route.

At the top of a towering tree, the dark-eyed bird that had flown away looked down at the disappearing figures of the group.

……

The three of them shuttled through the hot and humid forest, and no one spoke tacitly.

After an unknown amount of time, the three of them climbed over two hills and saw a wide valley in front of them, which instantly broadened their view.

At this time, night had fallen. Under the bright moonlight, everything was silent. Some wild pets passed by, all of which had never been seen in the secret realm before. Qiao Sang immediately realized that he should have arrived in another area.

She immediately thought of something, looked at Xiao Xunbao, and asked, "Do you want Yabao to recognize you as the boss?"

Yabao, who was on guard against his surroundings, immediately looked over.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao was moved at first, then he felt the gaze of big brother Yabao and quickly waved his hand.

  It never thought so!

Yabao continued to be alert to his surroundings.

  Very good, it seems that the effect of the truth flower has worn off... Qiao Sang felt relieved, turned to look at Guo Ruiqi, and asked:

"Need a rest?"

I need it so much... Guo Ruiqi said weakly: "I need it..."

Although he wanted to keep searching for Lele seeds, he really didn't have the energy to do so.

Qiao Sang looked around and said, "Then just rest here."

There is flat land all around with sparse vegetation, which makes it a good place to rest. Even if a wild pet suddenly appears, you can see it immediately.

Guo Ruiqi immediately found a place. He didn't even have the energy to spread out his sleeping bag, so he just fell down and fell asleep.

Qiao Sang looked at Xu Gehong and was about to speak, but the moment Xu Gehong's eyes met hers, she quickly took out a sleeping bag from her bag, lay down in it, and closed her eyes.

"..."

Qiao Sang walked to the sleeping bag, squatted down and said, "Don't sleep yet, I have something to say."

  I slept because I knew you were going to talk... Mikaela closed her eyes, pretending to be very tired, and mumbled in a daze:

"I'll tell you when I wake up..."

Qiao Sang looked at the sleeping bag in silence.

This beastmaster named Xu Gehong had obviously concealed a lot. She was the first one to recognize both the Tungsten Corpse Crystal and the Truth Flower.

  Obviously he is very knowledgeable, but would such a B-level Beast Tamer really be so scared and incompetent under the influence of nightmare energy?

And that "spray" sound was clearly not made by Yin Goudun.

It looks a lot like Mikaela-sensei's Pengame.

To be honest, if she hadn't seen Xu Gehong's red star array when she set out, she would really doubt that the person in front of her was Teacher Mikaela himself.

However, no matter how powerful the Beastmaster is, he cannot change the color of the star array.

Qiao Sang stared at the sleeping bag for a while and then sat down cross-legged.

Suddenly, a yellow rat-like pet appeared from the ground just one centimeter ahead.

The burrowing rat is a primary ground-type pet that likes to dig holes and often pokes its head out of the ground. It has a friendly personality... Qiao Sang's mind flashed with the information of the pet in front of him, while he took out the snacks that Yabao and the others usually liked to eat from his pocket and handed them over.

"Dongxing!"

The rat was so frightened that it went back into its hole.

About two seconds later, it cautiously poked its head out again.

Qiao Sang handed the candy in his hand forward.

"Dongxing?"

The cave rat stretched out its claws and pointed at itself.

Qiao Sang nodded.

"Dongxing..."

The rat hesitated for a moment, took the candy, and quickly went back into the hole.

Qiao Sang's ears moved and he heard a faint "crunching" chewing sound coming from underground.

"Dongxing!"

When the sound disappeared, the cave rat emerged from the ground with shining eyes.

His personality is really friendly... Qiao Sang smiled and said, "Do you want to eat more?"

"Dongxing!"

The cave rat nodded repeatedly.

"How about you stay with me and help me explore the underground, and I'll give you food every day?" Qiao Sang tempted.

As he said that, he took out another candy and handed it over.

"Dongxing!"

The burrowing rat stared at the candy, swallowed, then nodded, took the candy, and started to eat it directly without going underground.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang smiled with satisfaction.

Steel Treasure and Speed ​​Sleep Bird can be responsible for the movements above, and Tooth Treasure and Little Treasure Hunt can be vigilant around. Only the pets underground cannot see, and they can only detect the movements after getting close, otherwise it is difficult to guard against. Now there is a burrowing rat that likes to dig holes and can move underground, the next journey should be much safer...

"Xunxun~"

Little Xunbao witnessed this scene and showed an expression of admiration.

Qiao Sang gave it a "low-key" look.

"Qingqing?"

  Qingbao shouted from the side, asking why not let the black guy during the day help as well?

Because it is a low-level flying pet, it is not very useful... Qiao Sang understood that Qingbao was talking about the Dark-Eyed Bird, and explained: "It is an evil pet. It is not as friendly as the Cave Rat. It is risky to deal with it, but not with the Cave Rat."

She said this specifically for the Cave Rat to hear.

"Dongxing!"

Sure enough, after listening to the cave rat, he showed an expression of "someone actually understands me so well", and immediately patted his chest and said that he would definitely explore the way well.

"Dongxing."

After a pause, it added, just give it something delicious.

"Xunxun~"

Small treasure hunt simultaneous translation.

It feels so good to see the effect of the Shiyan Flower wear off... Qiao Sang showed a satisfied expression again.

"Yaya..."

Yabao was holding his eyes open, not daring to sleep.

The incident with the tomb spirit made it realize that this secret realm was much more dangerous than it had imagined.

In the blink of an eye, it was daytime and the temperature rose sharply.

"Let's go." Seeing that Xu Gehong and Guo Ruiqi were awake, Qiao Sang stood up and said.

"Dongxing!"

The burrowing rat came out from the ground, cried once, and then went back into its hole.

Michaela was not surprised.

She hadn't gone to bed last night when Qiao Sang made the deal with the Cave Rat, and she had heard the entire conversation.

When Guo Ruiqi saw the burrowing rat coming out, he was stunned at first, and then saw it burrow back in. He thought it was just a pet that happened to come out of the ground and didn't pay too much attention to it.

However, when he saw this burrowing rat coming out from the road ahead every few minutes and looking back and calling "burrowing", he finally realized that something was wrong.

"Senior Qiao, what is this cave rat?" Guo Ruiqi asked tentatively.

"I met it last night. From now on, it will come with us and help us explore the way," said Qiao Sang.

Hearing this, Guo Ruiqi was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of "I've learned something". It turns out that in the secret realm, you can also ask wild pets for help.

But I'm afraid only a powerful beastmaster would dare to do this kind of thing...

……

Time flies, and the weather alternates between cold and warm.

Time passed little by little.

The search locations ranged from cols to dense forests, to caves, valleys, across continuous ridges, and to the bottom of steep cliffs, but there was no trace of Lele seeds.

Qiao Sang's heart also grew colder.

"How long has it been?" asked Mikaela after giving orders to the Sleeping Bird to deal with several attacking flying pets.

Qiao Sang said without thinking: "43 days."

She has been counting the time.

  After a pause, she thought of something and added:

"The mission I posted only said to form a team to go into the secret realm to help, but I didn't mention the time."

What this means is that you shouldn't think that you can ask for more compensation if you stay in the secret realm for a long time.

  The corner of Mikaela's mouth twitched and said:

"I didn't mean that."

That’s good... Qiao Sang is somewhat disliking her now.

43 days!

  43 days!

Basically all the attacks were done by the Speed-Sleeping Bird!

The only time he used other pets was when he encountered hundreds of high-level pets, a dozen general-level pets, and a group of king-level pets. He had no choice but to let the pet named "Pen" hide and participate in the battle.

Occasionally, when she felt that there was no difference between having this teammate and not having him, the other party would recognize some rare resources and pets that she didn't know about, so that she wouldn't miss out on something without knowing it.

In general, the opponent's effort was far below her expectations, making her feel like she was outnumbered.

"Don't you have anything else important to do outside?" Michaela asked casually.

"Yes." Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said, "But the most important thing now is to find the Lele seeds."

If I can't find the Lele seed, my mission will be unfinished. If I can't complete the mission, I can't participate in the regional competition. Let alone the future arrangements, the previous six months will be in vain.

"Qingqing..."

At this time, Qiao Sang saw Qingbao turning into wind from time to time to explore the way in mid-air. He paused and took back his previous words.

In fact, even if I didn't complete the final mission and couldn't participate in the regional competition, it wouldn't be in vain. At least I had a contract with Qingqingni...

"Dongxing!"

About ten meters ahead, a burrowing rat emerged from the ground, turned its head and barked, indicating that the road ahead was safe.

"tooth!"

Yabao simultaneous translation.

"Did you sense it?" Qiao Sang looked at Guo Ruiqi beside him and asked.

Guo Ruiqi shook his head: "No."

Compared to 43 days ago, he now looked much darker and calmer.

This is not a solution. She should say it or not. Xu Gehong's words did make her feel the urgency of time... Qiao Sang thought as she moved forward.

  Suddenly, she thought of something and asked:

"You said, after Lele Seed was captured, was he free to move around?"

Mikaela thought for a moment and said, "If the one who caught it was a stupid swallow, then it should be free."

Guo Ruiqi asked expectantly, "Senior Qiao, have you thought of anything?"

Qiao Sang said: "I just think that if the Lele seeds are free to move, they may be attracted to a certain object."

  Guo Ruiqi's sensing range of Lele Seed is about a hundred meters, and the distance that Lele Seed can sense its beastmaster is the same. But what if it is not based on the sensing between the beastmaster and the pet, but based on other items?

Thinking of this, she stopped, looked at Xiao Xunbao, and asked:

"I remember I bought a bunch of evolution stones when I stocked up last time. Are there any leaf stones among them?"

The Leaf Stone has an absolute attraction to the Grass-type pet, even if this Grass-type pet is far from evolving.

"Xunxun~"

Little Xunbao barked to show that he wanted to take a look.

Immediately it took off the ring, enlarged it, and stuck its head into it.

"Xunxun!"

After about half a minute, Xiao Xunbao took out a green crystal and shouted excitedly, indicating that he had found it.

Mikaela understood and said, "Are you going to use the Leaf Stone to attract the grass-type pet?"

Qiao Sang said, "The Leaf Stone's attraction to Lele's seeds should be more than a hundred meters."

Guo Ruiqi was stunned at first, then he was ecstatic.

In this way, the hope of finding Lele seeds would be much greater!

As expected of Senior Qiao, he could come up with such a brilliant idea!

Mikaela pondered for a moment and said, "But if a grass-type pet that is about to evolve touches the Leaf Stone first, the Leaf Stone will absorb it."

Guo Ruiqi's ecstatic expression disappeared and turned into worry.

What should I do?

Qiao Sang had already thought of this, and he looked up and said to Gang Bao who was hovering above him:

"Split this Leaf Stone."

"Steel sword."

Gangbao didn't ask why. He flapped his wings and a feather condensed with purple light suddenly attacked like a blade, directly splitting Ye Zhishi into two halves.

This, this... Guo Ruiqi was dumbfounded.

Qiao Sang said slowly: "The incomplete Leaf Stone cannot be absorbed by Grass-type pets."

Mikaela nodded slightly: "Not only that, the energy contained in it can still attract grass-type pets."

After a pause, she added:

"It's a pity for this Leaf Stone."

Guo Ruiqi finally understood what was going on and said:

"I will definitely buy you a Leaf Stone when we get out!"

"Everything will be decided after we find the Lele Seed." Qiao Sang said, and put the split Leaf Stone on the ground, calling out:

"Qingbao."

"Qingqing."

Qingbao showed up.

Qiao Sang said:

"Spread some of the energy of this Leaf Stone around."

The energy of a complete Leaf Stone is relatively restrained, but when a Leaf Stone is split in half, the cut will continuously leak energy out. Over time, the energy will be lost and its effect will become smaller and smaller.

"Qingqing~"

Qing Bao shouted, and immediately turned into wind that circled above the Leaf Stone that was split into two halves, and then gradually expanded the wind.

Green energy continued to drift outwards with the wind.

"Yabao, become smaller." Qiao Sang said.

"tooth!"

Yabao cried out, then slowly shrank.

Qiao Sang picked up Yabao and looked at Xiaoxunbao: "Go to the tree."

"Xunxun~"

Little Treasure Hunter's eyes glowed blue.

The next second, the group arrived at the branches of the giant tree next to them.

Soon, one after another, grass-type pets came over here.

Guo Ruiqi stared at it intently, afraid of missing out on the Lele seeds.

Soon, more and more grass-type pets gathered, but there was no sign of Lele Seed.

Qiao Sang looked at the movement below and thought that it would be great if Qingbao could make the wind blow farther...

Standing on this giant tree, you can see a wide view. It is not difficult to estimate that the farthest distance of the attracted wild pets is only more than 500 meters away from here.

If Qingbao could make the wind blow the green energy further...

Come to think of it, Qingbao's evolution seems to be tonight...
