Chapter 1313: Chapter 929: Underground (Double-Length)

Lubao turned its head, and without a word, the gemstone on its forehead glowed blue, shining onto Little Treasure Hunter.

Soon, the blue light faded, and Little Treasure Hunter was restored to its unharmed state.

"From now on, just keep using Energy Regeneration to recover your energy as quickly as possible," Qiao Sang said to Lubao.

She could sense that the energy within Lubao wasn’t much left.

Although there hadn’t been particularly intense battles, the recent extensive use of the Ice Heaven Domain had indeed consumed quite a bit of energy.

If another batch of opponents came, Lubao might not even be able to cast the Ice Heaven Domain once.

"Ice Emperor."

Lubao nodded, and then its entire body began emitting a blue glow.

Gangbao, carrying Guo Ruiqi and Mikaela, flew over to Yaobao’s side.

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Hunter, feeling embarrassed to face its junior now, quietly moved a bit away from Gangbao and switched from its own Beast Tamer’s left side to the right side.

Qingbao turned its head following its movement.

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Hunter, sensing the gaze from its future junior, stiffened and drifted back a bit.

"This area is really terrifying, having so many General-level Pet Beasts." Seeing everything calm down, Guo Ruiqi finally found his voice again.

At this moment, Mikaela looked at Qiao Sang and said:

"Don’t you feel these Flame Night Birds seem a bit too weak?"

Too weak? Guo Ruiqi looked at Senior Xu beside him with a face of astonishment, wanting to refute but not daring to speak.

In his opinion, if it weren’t for Senior Qiao’s strength, especially the Pet Beast named "Lubao," they might have been wiped out under the attack of that group of Flame Night Birds.

"A bit." Qiao Sang recalled the scene just now and said, "But wild Pet Beasts’ group attacks are just like this. Once the leading Pet Beast falls, the rest are basically disorganized and can’t exert the strength they should have."

This was the lesson she’d learned from entering the Secret Realm a few times.

Wild Pet Beasts usually attack recklessly, with generally strong combat instincts, but in group battles, once the strongest falls, they mostly lose the will to fight.

It’s possible that among the Flame Night Birds that fell first, there was their spiritual leader.

Besides, with Ice Heaven Domain plus giant ice cones, and Mars Rain, how many General-level Pet Beasts can withstand that? The Flame Night Birds are not very strong in defensive power, so falling in groups is quite reasonable.

The explanation is logical, but... Mikaela glanced subtly at the fiery red ground below and led the conversation:

"I’ve heard that some Pet Beasts will forcibly evolve just by contacting certain materials, as long as the energy within them meets the minimum standard line."

After a pause, she added:

"However, the Pet Beasts that evolve in this way are also the weakest among the same tier."

"Do you think these Flame Night Birds were forcibly evolved by some kind of material?"

Qiao Sang, with little interest, replied perfunctorily, "Maybe."

After that, she turned to instruct Little Treasure Hunter to reposition; the most important goal right now was to find the Lele Seed as soon as possible.

As she turned around, she found Little Treasure Hunter wasn’t there.

Qiao Sang sensed something and looked back, twitching her mouth slightly, "Why are you so far away?"

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Hunter silently drifted back from dozens of meters behind to its Beast Tamer’s side.

"Let’s keep looking," Qiao Sang said.

"Xun Xun."

Little Treasure Hunter nodded, its eyes glowing blue.

Qiao Sang closed her eyes.

Mikaela, standing nearby, hesitated to speak, feeling a bit frustrated.

This child, how could she not understand the meaning hidden in her words?

The resources that could force so many Flame Night Birds to evolve were clearly extraordinary, and the Flame Tail Fan Foxes they encountered earlier might have also evolved successfully because of these resources.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be reasonable for so many Pet Beasts of the same attribute and level to exist in one area.

You should know wild Pet Beasts care most about territory. At the General-level Pet Beast level, it’s unlikely they would want to stay in the same area with another General-level Pet Beast of a different species.

Moreover, they share the same attribute and need the same resources.

The Fire Element resources here might be more abundant than imagined, and one species couldn’t monopolize them, so even if they didn’t want to live in the same area as other species, they were reluctant to leave, thus leading to this situation.

Flame Kiru’s main attribute is Fire Element, and its future Evolution Pathway is unknown. When encountering resources that could evolve so many Fire Attribute Beasts, it would make sense to take a look.

She thought Qiao Sang would be interested after she mentioned it and would suggest they explore the surroundings, but to her surprise, Qiao Sang wasn’t interested at all.
