Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 517 - 476: The Plain and Simple Response Method

Chapter 517: Chapter 476: The Plain and Simple Response Method

Poison Star, a dual-attribute high level pet beast of the Poison and Psychic series, absorbs pollutants from the atmosphere, using the polluted air and toxic gases as nourishment. The toxins accumulated in its body can leak out into the external environment through speech or breathing at any time. Even inhaling a tiny amount of this gas can cause one’s body to become paralyzed and immobile... Qiao Sang looked seriously at the pet beast in the distance, which was largely black and purple in color and star-shaped.

Zhao Chuanyu became a popular candidate in this National School Beast Taming Competition not only because of the Red Rapid Dragon but also partly because of the Poison Star.

The most troublesome aspect of this pet beast is not its poison or its psychic abilities but its chemical gas change characteristic.

In competitions, besides skills, the unique characteristics of a pet beast are also very important. A useful characteristic can often allow a pet beast to win a match even when its strength is less than that of its opponent.

When a pet beast with the characteristic of a chemical gas change is on the field, all other pet beasts’ characteristics will disappear or fail to take effect.

In other words, when facing Poison Star, all of Lubao’s characteristics would be unable to be utilized.

"Qu!"

The whistle blew.

"Aoa!"

Poison Star immediately rose high into the air and started spinning at high speed.

With its rotation, clumps of black gas, like dark clouds, rapidly enveloped the battlefield.

"Bingke."

At the same time, Lubao looked up and let out a cry with its mouth open.

The temperature around plummeted suddenly.

Directly using Ice Flower Seal, huh... Even before the traces of snow appeared, Zhao Chuanyu swiftly realized that Bingke Xilu was releasing a skill as the black gas had covered the entire field’s sky.

He did not issue a command.

The situation was still under control.

Poison Star did not possess a skill that could instantly defeat Bingke Xilu, but Poison Star’s poison gas had been perfected, capable of lingering in the air for a full five minutes.

Once a large amount of deadly toxin was released, Bingke Xilu would fall into a poisoned state upon inhaling it.

While poisoned, Bingke Xilu would find it difficult to launch an attack unless it used Healing Light.

Even if Healing Light were to fully restore it, the toxic gas would still be present.

By then, freshly recovered Bingke Xilu would inhale the deadly toxins once more.

It would have to continue using Healing Light in a cycle until its energy was drained.

He had watched Qiao Sang’s matches; Bingke Xilu’s Ice Flower Seal did not last five minutes.

As long as he endured through the Ice Flower Seal, taking advantage of Bingke Xilu’s poisoned state, the match might end early without waiting for its energy to be exhausted.

Zhao Chuanyu looked towards the distant girl.

Qiao Sang’s greatest mistake was not preventing Poison Star from releasing so much deadly toxin.

"Aoa."

High in the sky, Poison Star felt an intense chill as it was releasing the deadly toxins and, following its instincts, quietly lowered its altitude a bit.

Just at that moment, a robust water cannon shot towards it.

Poison Star reacted swiftly, immediately transforming the poison gas into a sludge attack.

The sludge, emitting purple poisonous gas, struck the water cannon.

"Bang!"

The water cannon exploded, and water droplets mixed with poison gas splashed everywhere.

The speed at which Bingke Xilu cast the Ice Flower Seal seemed to have increased significantly, but this was just fine, since Poison Star had released enough deadly toxins... Zhao Chuanyu looked up at the sky, which was now densely covered in black gas, and spoke with satisfaction:

"Light Wall."

Hearing its Beast Tamer’s words, Poison Star’s eyes emitted a blue light, and a light wall about one meter in diameter instantly formed above its head.

Calculating the time, the snow from the Ice Flower Seal should be falling now, and the toxic gas would probably have been inhaled by Bingke Xilu... Zhao Chuanyu looked towards the distant blue pet beast, and suddenly his expression subtly changed.

What’s going on? Why is Bingke Xilu still able to move without using Healing Light?

Bingke Xilu was swiftly enveloped by flowing water, charging towards the Proud Poison Star at high speed under the poison gas-filled sky!

"Proud Proud."

The Proud Poison Star subconsciously teleported to a spot more than ten meters away, but it was precisely because of the teleportation that the light wall above its head vanished.

At the same time, a large mass of snowflakes penetrated through the dark mist, falling from the sky.

How could the deadly poison be ineffective against Bingke Xilu? How was that possible? Zhao Chuanyu frowned, aware of the ordeal he faced, yet he didn’t panic and quickly came up with a new plan in his mind.

If the deadly poison was ineffective, it could be due to the dispersal being too sparse. If that were the case, he would just use a more potent skill.

As long as Bingke Xilu was affected and weakened, he refused to believe that all this poison gas would remain useless against it!

Zhao Chuanyu’s gaze was fixed on the chaotic blue water column in mid-air, saying, "Light wall."

The Proud Poison Star’s eyes glowed blue as a light wall condensed above its head.

The snowflakes fell, seemingly carrying some dark mist with them.

Lubao, surrounded by swirling water, shot towards the Proud Poison Star.

Just as the "water column" was about five meters away from the Proud Poison Star, Zhao Chuanyu’s eyes flashed, and he loudly commanded:

"Venom Impact!"

This was going to be a case of mutual destruction... Qiao Sang heard the opponent’s command, glanced at Lubao wrapped in the water flow, worry flickered in his eyes, but it quickly turned into trust.

The Lubao, wrapped in water flow, crashed towards the location of the Proud Poison Star like a water column cannon.

Just as it was about to strike, the Proud Poison Star suddenly opened its mouth, withdrew the light wall, and sprayed out black-tinted, corrosive venom.

The venom’s toxicity was so severe that it nearly corroded the air itself.

"Hiss hiss~~~"

Lubao collided head-on with the venom, which splashed onto Lubao’s scales through the outer layer of water.

The scales immediately emitted black smoke as corrosion rapidly spread around, creating localized corrosive wounds.

Lubao clenched its teeth, bearing the immediate pain, and forcefully collided with the Proud Poison Star.

"Bang!"

The impact sent the Proud Poison Star crashing into the ground, which even caused the ground to cave in a bit.

Following that, Lubao also fell onto the ground, covered with wounds.

Snowflakes mixed with dark mist continued to fall.

Intricate ice flowers appeared on the body of the Proud Poison Star, but due to the continuous infiltration of the dark mist, the ice flowers did not bloom very rapidly.

"Healing Light!"

"Light wall!"

The voices of Qiao Sang and Zhao Chuanyu echoed simultaneously.

Lubao took a deep breath, as if it hadn’t breathed air at all just a moment ago, and then its body emanated a blue glow.

Zhao Chuanyu keenly observed this scene, his mind lit up with inspiration, and he suddenly realized.

Damn! No wonder all that deadly poison was ineffective against Bingke Xilu earlier; it had been holding its breath the entire time!

Zhao Chuanyu felt frustrated inside.

He never would have thought that Qiao Sang’s strategy for Bingke Xilu to cope with the poison gas was so straightforward and unadorned!

If that were the case, and Bingke Xilu used Healing Light to cure itself before holding its breath again, wouldn’t the Proud Poison Star’s recent attack be a complete loss? Would others watching think it looked foolish?

Thinking this, Zhao Chuanyu’s expression began to look somewhat unpleasant.
