Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 445 - 420: Scythe Mongoose

Chapter 445: Chapter 420: Scythe Mongoose

"Wow!"

The audience burst into a noisy uproar.

Ordinary high school competitions couldn’t ignite their passion.

But this one was different, with both sides deploying High Level Pet Beasts, and what was most crucial was the Liaoxing Dog’s string of attacks which were just so smooth—completely dominating its peer, ending the fight in a matter of moments!

"That Liaoxing Dog is too cool!"

"So thrilling! The pace of the battle is crisp to the point of death. To ensure the damage, it used Teleportation after casting Flame Vortex and then executed Flame Tooth. Even when caught by the Super Evil Scorpion, it didn’t panic at all. A Pet Beast bred by a Professional Beast Tamer couldn’t be much better!"

"I’m indeed smitten, what do you guys think, will Qiao Sang send Bingke Xilu up next...?"

"I heard someone say before that before Bingke Xilu evolved, it was actually the weakest of Qiao Sang’s three Pet Beasts. I didn’t believe it at first, but after watching the past two days of competition, I kind of do..."

"Don’t talk nonsense! Have you forgotten when Bingke Xilu, back when it was Binglu Qia, used Ice Flower Seal?"

"But wasn’t that just a single flower?"

"That was to mislead the opponent! Didn’t you see that later on, when it unleashed the seal, there were dozens of flowers!"

"Oh."

...

On the field.

Two Pet Beasts in white lab coats, muscles bulging, carried the fainted Super Evil Scorpion away on a stretcher.

Bai Binbin’s face was filled with sorrow.

He hadn’t expected to lose so abruptly!

Before he could wallow in his sorrow any longer, he suddenly felt an intense gaze upon him.

Following the gaze, Bai Binbin found the Liaoxing Dog staring at him.

Fuck, why’s it staring at me, what’s there to see, why look at me like that... Bai Binbin’s heart tightened, overwhelmed by pressure, and he forgot to continue his sorrow.

Yaobao looked at Bai Binbin with an expectant expression.

Two matches down, one opponent dealt with, one more to go!

It could still fight!

The next one is the Sickle Fox Mongoose... Qiao Sang thought.

Soon, the referee issued the command to summon the Pet Beasts.

Bai Binbin made hand signs and called forth a yellow-bodied Pet Beast with curved antennas and three white sickles on each claw.

"Sickle!"

As soon as the Sickle Fox Mongoose entered the arena, it raised its claws, slashing left and then right before striking a cool, stationary pose.

"Ya..."

Yaobao sized up its opponent, barely a meter tall, and made a slightly disdainful face.

Seems kind of weak...

"Sickle!"

At that moment, the Sickle Fox Mongoose looked up, unfazed by the imposing adversary, and instead hopped excitedly in place, calling out to Yaobao with an eager expression.

Yaobao’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Although the opponent looked a bit weak, it liked the attitude!

The mechanical sound that signified the start of the battle chimed in timely fashion.

Immediately, the Sickle Fox Mongoose rushed toward the darkened ground.

The moment it stepped on the darkened ground, it seemed as if a layer of light flickered on its surface.

Without stopping, it kept changing directions left and right, racing towards other darkened patches on the ground.

The Sickle Fox Mongoose picked up speed, and before long, its figure blurred, leaving only afterimages to the onlookers.

Then, the afterimages split into two, then four.

The audience members began discussing what they saw.

"That Sickle Fox Mongoose must have a poison-boost trait, specifically running to the ground where poison lingers."

"Obviously. And, to be honest, it’s quite fast."

"It seems like it wants to initiate the attack, but how can it attack with the Liaoxing Dog in the air?"

No sooner had the person finished speaking than four afterimages swiftly converged, running in a straight line on the field.

Then, one of the afterimages stepped forcefully on the leading afterimage and leaped, immediately jumping several meters into the air.

Following that, the afterimages behind it arrived in turn, stepping on the now stationary Scythe Fox Mongoose to leap up, reaching the Scythe Fox Mongoose that had already jumped into the air, and then leaped again with force.

The final afterimage mimicked the two preceding Scythe Fox Mongooses, leaping three times in succession; it moved so fast that it arrived in front of Yaobao almost in the blink of an eye.

"Scythe!"

The Scythe Fox Mongoose swung its scythe-like claws, its body slightly tilted, cold light flickering off its blade.

It seemed intent on executing the Triple Slash, a skill where each slash was faster than the last, with the power of each strike being twice that of the preceding one. Under the enhancement of the poisoning surge trait, if a pet beast with similar defense power was hit by the Triple Slash, it would probably be "game over"...

Qiao Sang was not even slightly panicked in her heart. Among her three pet beasts, Yaobao was the one with the strongest combat awareness, and it was clearly waiting for the perfect moment to attack.

In midair, the Scythe Fox Mongoose pulled off an impressive sidestep, ready to slash down at Yaobao with its claws that gleamed with chill light.

The blade’s cold light was intimidating, but before it could slash down, the Scythe Fox Mongoose suddenly "whooshed" downward, plummeting vertically from the sky and fiercely smashing into the ground, creating a deep crater upon impact.

Bai Binbin was dumbfounded, looking up at the Liaoxing Dog in the sky, its eyes flashing blue at that moment.

Was that telekinesis?!

The next second, his face changed as he saw the Liaoxing Dog opening its mouth.

"Get out of the way!" Bai Binbin shouted.

"Scythe..."

The Scythe Fox Mongoose, hearing its Beast Tamer’s command, forced its eyes open despite the pain, only to see a firelight that seemed almost within reach.

"Bang!!"

The spinning flames fell vertically into the deep crater, with the firelight shining through the field, the searing blaze striking the Scythe Fox Mongoose in the pit with precise accuracy.

"Scythe!!!"

The Scythe Fox Mongoose let out a piercing scream before falling silent.

"Quit!"

The referee, a Mechanical Beast wearing its badge, floated into the crater to inspect it, then blew the whistle to signify the end of the match.

An uproar ensued in the spectator stands.

Liaoxing Dog’s victory was unsurprising, but the process was still quite exciting to watch.

Especially the Scythe Fox Mongoose’s consecutive moves earlier were particularly stunning; it wasn’t intimidated at all by the stronger opponent, taking the initiative to attack, then using the poisoning surge trait to increase its speed, and utilizing Shadow Clones to reach the Liaoxing Dog’s position.

Because of the dazzling maneuvering, the way the Liaoxing Dog ended the match with one use of telekinesis followed by a Flame Vortex seemed particularly badass.

While a High Level Pet Beast defeating a Mid Level Pet Beast is quite normal, it still felt exhilarating to watch.

"What was the Liaoxing Dog’s initial form? I want to contract one..."

"I’m not sure, it’s a pet beast from Yuhua Region, right? Just search online and you’ll find out."

"I feel like the Liaoxing Dog’s reaction speed is so fast, and its telekinesis is so strong. It just directly knocked the Scythe Fox Mongoose to the ground. I hadn’t even realized what had happened when the Scythe Fox Mongoose sprang up."

"You’ve never undergone even one feedback, so isn’t it normal for you to not catch up?"

"..."

...

On the field.

"Ya!"

Yaobao landed on the ground and roared towards the sky, declaring its victory.

"Ya?"

Having just roared, Yaobao suddenly felt a wave of discomfort within its body, revealing a puzzled expression.

Qiao Sang said in a quiet voice, "You’ve stepped on poison."

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao quickly teleported back into the air.

Qiao Sang: "..."
