Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 175: Chapter 166: Release Simultaneously

Qiao Sang was pondering a strategy.

The terror and oddity of Spectral-type Pet Beasts were well-known; as long as they could hide themselves, without the appropriate methods to counteract them, they were virtually invincible amidst low-level Pet Beasts.

The ones that could counter Spectral Series were the Evil and Spectral itself.

Because Evil could cause double damage to Spectral, and Spectral was one of those attributes that could both counter and be countered by its own type.

Unless a Pet Beast could overwhelmingly dominate in strength or possessed specialized skills for the restraint, it was usually difficult to overcome.

Just the fact that it could disappear and reappear so suddenly was a headache.

“Should we take the chance and leave now while it’s not here?” Fang Sisi asked, glancing nervously around, afraid that the Three-eyed Spectral Cicada might suddenly appear if they weren’t careful.

“Do you think a Spectral-type Pet Beast that actively attacks humans and has the upper hand in battle would just walk away all of a sudden?” Qiao Sang said with a grave face.

Fang Sisi hesitated, “Maybe, there could be something sudden at home for it.”

Qiao Sang gazed directly at her with clear eyes until Fang Sisi felt increasingly guilty, and finally, she looked away with a crestfallen expression and began nervously scanning the surroundings again.

“So, what do we do now?” Fang Sisi asked in a low voice.

“We need to move, but we have to maintain a good formation,” Qiao Sang replied earnestly. “You go in front, I’ll follow behind, and we’ll have Yaobao’s Doppelganger surround us as we move forward. If the Three-eyed Spectral Cicada suddenly appears, I’ll hold it off, and you just run for the exit. Once outside, call for someone to rescue me.”

Hearing this, Fang Sisi was at first startled and then her eyes brimmed with tears, she said, moved, “How can I leave you behind all alone! If we’re going, we go together… ”

Before she could finish, Qiao Sang cut her off, “Or you stay behind, and I go out to find someone to rescue you.”

Fang Sisi: “…”

“That’s still… Qiao Qiao Qiao… Qiao Sang…” Fang Sisi’s voice suddenly became incredibly stiff, and she kept glancing behind Qiao Sang in a very strange way as if to alert her.

A chill ran through Qiao Sang’s heart, and just as she was about to look back, her body seemed to be lifted by some force, soaring through the air.

Turning her head, she saw that it was Yaobao who had picked her up with its mouth and was running towards the top of the sewer.

She was terrified, thinking it was the Three-eyed Spectral Cicada… Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

“Bang!!”

Just then, a loud noise came from behind them.

At the same time, Yaobao stopped mid-air in the sewer and with a turn of its head, it tossed Qiao Sang behind it so she landed securely on its back, which conveniently allowed her to see the source of the loud noise.

Qiao Sang’s face changed, and her lips turned somewhat pale.

She saw a large crater where she had just been standing. If Yaobao hadn’t moved her when it did, she would either have been killed instantly or ended up in intensive care for at least ten days to half a month.

Above the crater, the Three-eyed Spectral Cicada appeared, flapping its wings.

Fear gripped Qiao Sang; were all wild Pet Beasts this fierce?!

No wonder the internet said entering the Secret Realm was dangerous; without at least a D-class Beast Tamer rank, one shouldn’t even think about it.

Wild Pet Beasts attacking humans without any scruples…

Qiao Sang looked at Fang Sisi who was staring at her in shock and stroked Yaobao’s back, saying, “Use Telekinesis to get her up here first.”

She was somewhat helpless.

This idiot, to say she was brave; she knew to scream and run when facing a Spectral-type Pet Beast, but to say she was timid; now the Three-eyed Spectral Cicada was just about a meter away, and she was still foolishly looking towards her.

“Yao.”

Hearing the words of its Beast Tamer, Yaobao’s eyes glowed blue.

The next second, under the control of Telekinesis, the Three-eyed Spectral Cicada appeared mid-air at the same height as Yaobao.

Qiao Sang: “…!”

What happened to the understanding? Wasn’t it almost telepathic after evolving into the Flame Listening Dog?!

Qiao Sang quickly calmed down, although the controlled object wasn’t quite what she had in mind, this was an opportunity.

“Just control it to keep spinning in circles!”

It was unexpected that telekinesis could control the Three-eyed Specter Cicada, and after this period of skill training, Yaobao had reached a high level of proficiency with telekinesis. Even if the Three-eyed Specter Cicada was one level higher, as long as it was under psychic control, it couldn’t easily free itself.

“Eye…eye…”

Under the control of telekinesis, the Three-eyed Specter Cicada kept spinning, quickly becoming dizzy. It endured the vertigo and concentrated its energy, firing a Shadow Ball in Yaobao’s direction.

Because it was still spinning, the shot of the Shadow Ball was misaligned and struck the concrete above.

Unlike the beginning when Mars Rain couldn’t damage the ceiling, the impact of the Shadow Ball caused stone fragments to fly, one piece seemingly about to hit the Beast Tamer’s back. Yaobao instinctively moved to the side.

But it was this very movement that allowed the Three-eyed Specter Cicada to break free from psychic control.

“Spark!”

Qiao Sang had been closely monitoring the movements of the Three-eyed Specter Cicada and promptly issued a command.

A ball of fire over 20 centimeters in diameter appeared in front of Yaobao’s mouth.

The next second, the ball of flame, burning as if alive, hit the Three-eyed Specter Cicada with unerring accuracy.

“Eye…eye!!!”

The Three-eyed Specter Cicada slammed hard into the ground.

Qiao Sang wasn’t surprised by the hit; if the cicada had not been spinning from psychic control, Spark might not have struck the creature with such fast reflexes.

But now, the Three-eyed Specter Cicada was dazed and dizzy, making it easy prey.

Merely struck by a single blaze, the Three-eyed Specter Cicada didn’t get up quickly. On the one hand, the potency of Spark, a mastered Mystique, had already far surpassed that of average mid-level skills.

On the other hand, its physique played a role.

Although its attack power was still strong and its speed was much faster than that of ordinary high-level Pet Beasts, its small size meant it didn’t have strong defenses.

“Mars…” Qiao Sang, intending to follow up with a victory and call out Mars Rain, shut his mouth as he saw a stone falling in front of him.

Although he didn’t know why, the construction overhead in the secret chamber seemed to have returned to normal, where even a hit from a Shadow Ball could cause damage.

Qiao Sang hesitated, but Yaobao did not.

As soon as the Three-eyed Specter Cicada hit the ground, Yaobao instantly used Doppelganger to surround the creature. Fifteen doppelgangers simultaneously prepared to shoot Sparks, which looked ready to fire any moment.

But just then, a Three-eyed Specter Cicada suddenly appeared behind Qiao Sang, its mouth still gathering a Shadow Ball.

Yaobao’s alert ears twitched, and it swiftly turned its head to change direction.

Realizing what the Three-eyed Specter Cicada was about to do, its brain tightened and a fierce flame ignited in its heart. Its body radiated dazzling blue light, air currents swirled around it, and the invisible force pressed the Three-eyed Specter Cicada, which was still forming a Shadow Ball, into a twisted shape, slamming it hard against the water below.

“Thunk!!!”

The Three-eyed Specter Cicada that hit the water disappeared without a struggle—it was a Doppelganger!

“Boom!!!”

At the same time, a huge explosion echoed throughout the secret chamber.

Qiao Sang hadn’t even recovered from the shock of nearly being struck again, and upon hearing the noise, he instinctively turned his head.

He saw a Three-eyed Specter Cicada lying on the ground with its eyes closed, dizzy, surrounded by Yaobao’s fifteen doppelgangers.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a long moment, his heartbeat unconsciously speeding up.

“This, is this a success?!”

Had Yaobao successfully released different abilities of the primary and doppelgangers simultaneously?!
