Chapter 447: Chapter 422: If You Want It, Go Pick It Up

"This is a somersaulting octopus, it likes to do backflips just for fun."

"And that one is an axe fish, don’t be fooled by its scary appearance, it’s actually quite gentle."

"The pet beast with something that looks like a fishing rod on its head is called a ’Diao Diao fish.’ It attracts its prey by wiggling the ’fishing rod.’

Jiang Xiu was introducing the pet beasts they encountered along the way.

Qiao Sang listened in silence.

It had to be said that seeing wild pet beasts in person and having them introduced this way was far more interesting than simply attending pet beast ecology class.

The deeper they went, the darker the surroundings became.

The number of light-emitting pet beasts in the water gradually decreased.

Several dozen medium to large water-type pet beasts were prepared, and each one had some luminescent organ on its body that lit up.

Qiao Sang’s attention was caught by a large shark-type pet beast because she saw that the luminescent organ on the beast was its teeth, which were currently bared as it moved forward.

This luminescent part is quite distinctive... Qiao Sang suppressed the urge to laugh and asked:

"Professor Jiang, does that mean that water-type pet beasts that can’t emit light can’t come here?"

Of course not, the participants of this activity were carefully selected, it’s not as though it was arranged for you to enjoy the waterscape along the way... Jiang Xiu chuckled:

"No, it just so happens that the Beast Tamers who came this time, all of their water-type pet beasts can glow."

So that was it... Qiao Sang had no reason to doubt and continued to admire the wild pet beasts under the water.

As the water got deeper, the wild pet beasts they saw appeared more and more ferocious.

"Xun Xun?"

Xiao Xunbao made a curious noise, wondering why everything seemed scarier the deeper they went.

Qiao Sang joked:

"Maybe nobody can see each other, so everyone just grows however they like."

Although she was joking, Qiao Sang’s tone was earnest.

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao nodded its head, showing an expression of sudden realization.

Jiang Xiu: "..."

He didn’t understand what the Treasure-seeking Demon was saying, but from Qiao Sang’s response and the demon’s actions, he could make some guesses.

Could it be that the rumors of Qiao Sang being a poor scholar aren’t false... Jiang Xiu’s thoughts drifted.

At this moment, the leading turtle-type pet beast stopped.

Jiang Xiu came back to his senses, realized what was happening, and said, "We’re here."

Qiao Sang looked around.

All the water-type wild pet beasts saw them and immediately swam far away.

As a result, there wasn’t a single water-type wild pet beast in sight within a hundred meters.

"Bi Bi!"

The leading turtle-type pet beast called out.

Afterward, the medium to large water-type pet beasts dispersed and swam in different directions.

"Let’s go too," Jiang Xiu said.

After he spoke, the saltwater lizard headed towards an area where no one else was going.

"Aren’t we going together?" Qiao Sang asked.

Jiang Xiu explained, "High-level pet beasts exert a certain overbearing pressure on lower-level beasts. With so many high-level beasts gathered together, no wild water-type pet beasts would dare to approach, so we must act separately."

Qiao Sang nodded, then clasped her hands together, and a green Star Array lit up in the water.

The next second, Lubao appeared next to the saltwater lizard.

After such a long time in the competition, Qiao Sang was all too aware of Lubao’s lethality to the people of the Ancient Mist Region and had dared not summon it when there were so many people around earlier.

"Bingke!"

Upon emerging and seeing the environment, Lubao first looked puzzled but then showed a delighted expression and called out.

Bingke Xilu! Bingke Xilu! Bingke Xilu! Jiang Xiu mentally shouted in excitement.

In fact, he had wanted to suggest that Qiao Sang summon Bingke Xilu earlier, but he felt it would be too purposeful and didn’t speak up.

Thankfully, he was now able to see Bingke Xilu!

Lubao’s personality seems indeed to have become not so aloof after this evolution... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao glanced at the saltwater lizard, then at Lubao, and suddenly excitedly called out, asking if it could be enveloped in a water bubble like the saltwater lizard.

"Bingke."

Lubao thought for a moment then nodded, indicating it shouldn’t be a problem.

"Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao immediately looked over, filled with anticipation.

The bond has improved, Qiao Sang thought contentedly. It wouldn’t have paid attention to Yaobao like this in the past.

Under the watch of four pairs of eyes, Lubao opened its mouth.

A transparent bubble, obstructed by water, gradually grew larger, then slowly enveloped Lubao.

First, the head, then the neck, but when it reached the body, the bubble suddenly "pop" burst open.

"Ya..."

"Xun..."

Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao both had disappointed expressions on their faces.

So it doesn’t work...

"Bingke..."

Lubao’s overbearing pressure lowered and it resumed its usual aloof expression, then silently continued to blow bubbles.

Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao once again looked over with hopeful eyes.

The bubble burst again when it reached the body.

"Ya..."

"Xun..."

Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao shook their heads in unison.

Still not working...

"Bingke..."

The overbearing pressure around Lubao grew even lower.

Of course, it wouldn’t work; Lubao hasn’t practiced this skill ordinarily, so how could it succeed in just one or two tries... "Cough cough!" Qiao Sang cleared his throat and said:

"The bubbles are only easy to succeed when there’s little pressure. The deeper the water, the greater the pressure, and the bubbles are very prone to bursting. It’s normal for Lubao to fail; it will definitely succeed on land."

"Like the sea salt lizards, they cover themselves with bubbles before entering the water."

"Ya Ya!"

"Xun Xun!"

Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao had expressions of sudden realization.

So it’s not that Lubao can’t do it!

"Bingke."

The low pressure around Lubao dissipated instantly, and it flicked its tail haughtily, lifting its head with disdain.

It knew it couldn’t possibly be incapable.

Jiang Xiu watched from the sidelines, his gaze flickering.

Just by Qiao Sang’s few words, making Bingke Xilu’s mood recover, he became even more determined to have the other stay in the Ancient Mist Region.

He had already thought of the perfect workplace.

That was the Shuilu Yana Species Research and Conservation Center!

The main reason why it’s so hard for the Shuilu Yana species to evolve is that their moods and preferences are too difficult to grasp!

With Qiao Sang around, perhaps the evolution rate of the Shuilu Yana species could be increased!

Jiang Xiu’s thoughts were boiling over, but he remained calm on the surface. He secretly opened his backpack, took something out, and quietly placed it behind him.

Right behind him was a blue circular spot on the back of the sea salt lizard.

The blue spot immediately surged with a current of water that wrapped around the object.

The item slowly sank, disappearing into the body of the sea salt lizard.

Then, the sea salt lizard opened its mouth, and the object was ejected.

The object shot out of the bubble, which didn’t burst, but quickly returned to its original shape.

Qiao Sang observed the scenery and wondered how he would communicate with a water-type wild Pet Beast they might encounter later...

"Look! What is that? Should we go and pick it up?" Suddenly, Professor Jiang’s voice loudly erupted next to him.

Qiao Sang was startled for a moment, then after carefully looking in the direction Jiang had indicated for three seconds, he shook his head and said, "It’s just a temperature stone, no need to pick it up."

Jiang Xiu: "???"

Qiao Sang noticed that Professor Jiang’s expression was a bit off and suddenly realized something, so he quickly added, "It’s just that I don’t need the temperature stone. If Professor Jiang wants it, you should go and pick it up. You discovered it after all."

Jiang Xiu: "..."
