Chapter 669: Chapter 604: The Nest of the Little Steel Falcon

"Xun Xun!"

Little Xiao Xunbao called out.

But before her eyes could shine with blue light, a surge of dark aura suddenly descended, and a black blade-like object appeared out of nowhere, piercing through the Shadow Control that Little Xiao Xunbao hadn’t retracted.

The blade pierced through the shadow and plunged into the ground.

"Xun Xun?!"

Little Xiao Xunbao showed an incredulous expression, finding itself unable to move!

At that moment, the thick fog was not completely dispersed by Mars Rain, leaving behind a thin layer of mist swirling.

Qiao Sang clearly saw a dark silhouette dart into Little Xiao Xunbao’s shadow, flickering in and out of sight.

Dark Blade... With just one glance, Qiao Sang recognized the skill used by Wuying Yake, and her heart suddenly turned cold.

A high-level dark skill that could attack or immobilize a target by piercing its shadow, even preventing a Beast Tamer from recalling their Pet Beast into the Beast Taming Codex.

It had some similarities with Shadow Control in certain respects.

However, the difference was that Shadow Control primarily focused on binding. In Two-Dimensional Mode, once it controlled the opponent, the user also couldn’t move freely, whereas Dark Blade had no such limitation.

"Withdraw your shadow!" Qiao Sang urgently said.

Since Little Xiao Xunbao’s pierced shadow was an extension created by using Shadow Control, withdrawing the energy would naturally break the effect!

Little Xiao Xunbao had been ready to retract its Shadow Control and perform Spatial Movement, but the shock of being immobilized had startled it, causing it to forget to act.

Hearing its Beast Tamer’s words, Little Xiao Xunbao calmed down and began to dissipate the energy that was maintaining the Shadow Control.

"Wuying!"

But just then, not far ahead, Wuying Yake roared in anger, enduring the damage from the Mars Rain.

Immediately after, dozens of Dark Blades abruptly appeared in the thin fog and rapidly descended.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Some of the Dark Blades collided with the still-falling Mars Rain, creating explosive booming sounds.

Meanwhile, others aimed at Qiao Sang and Yaobao, including Little Xiao Xunbao, which was still pinned in place while canceling the Shadow Control.

Amongst the mist and Mars Rain, the dozens of Dark Blades were inconspicuous, making them hard to discern.

"Rush above Little Xiao Xunbao!" Qiao Sang’s eyes sharpened, without a moment to spare for further thought, she gave the command.

To safely retreat from here, it was absolutely critical that Little Xiao Xunbao not fall!

Yaobao’s gaze became as sharp as its Beast Tamer’s. Watching the barrage of Mars Rain mixed with the deceptive, unobtrusive Dark Blades, it charged up and flew upwards.

The white and red figure darted between the fiery red heat orbs and the black blades, and it seemed as though the flames had a life of their own, parting wherever the white and red figure passed.

Yaobao’s speed was terrifyingly fast, and even in its blurred form, it didn’t forget to spit a Flame Vortex toward the Dark Blades above Little Xiao Xunbao.

Amidst the explosions, it reached a spot about ten centimeters above Little Xiao Xunbao.

Its massive figure covered Little Xiao Xunbao’s body completely, offering a full sense of security.

Qiao Sang sat on Yaobao’s back.

More Dark Blades were approaching, less than five centimeters away from her.

Qiao Sang leaned forward and down, staying as close to Yaobao as possible.

The time should be about right... Qiao Sang’s heart pounded violently as she cried out:

"Little Xiao Xunbao, are you ready!"

Four centimeters.

Three centimeters.

Two centimeters...

"Xun Xun!"

Just as three of the Dark Blades were less than a centimeter away from Qiao Sang’s back, Little Xiao Xunbao cried out loudly, signaling it was ready!

The next second, Qiao Sang and Yaobao disappeared from the spot.

"Wuying!"

All the mist cleared, the Mars Rain had ceased, and Wuying Yake, with his injured body, came to another Wuying Yake lying on the ground with eyes closed and full of rage.

"Wuying!"

Wuying Yake showed no mercy as he fiercely kicked the closed-eye Wuying Yake.

"Wuying..."

The Wuying Yake with closed eyes flipped over, tilting its head slightly, appearing to be unconscious.

It turned out it had already passed out during the Mars Rain.

...

"Holy shit, that was close..." Qiao Sang panted heavily, feeling sweat soaking her back.

Everything that had just happened was a bit too thrilling.

To be honest, she felt she had never experienced anything as exciting in her life, not even that time in the secret chamber when she encountered the wild Pet Beasts, No-Dream Doll and Three-Eyed Ghost Cicada.

Back then, she hadn’t been a Beast Tamer for very long and had lived in a very safe environment her whole life. Her concept of the strength of Pet Beasts was derived from books and TV shows, which made her somewhat naive and fearless.

But as time went on and she became more experienced as a Beast Tamer, having encountered wild Pet Beasts and some General-level Pet Beasts, she was deeply aware of the danger of wild General-level Pet Beasts.

Two General-level Pet Beasts were definitely opponents she could not confront head-on.

It was precisely because she knew this that she was aware that if she wasn’t careful, she might end up dead.

Luckily, she had been through Spatial Movement so many times and knew it was just a momentary thing. As soon as Xiao Xunbao retracted the Shadow Control, she could use the skill.

Having Yaobao position itself above Xiao Xunbao was partly to block skills, but also to allow for a quicker escape.

As long as she could escape, even if she was injured by Dark Blade, she could summon Lubao to administer Healing Light in time.

Otherwise, in that kind of environment, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to cast Healing Light with peace of mind.

Thinking back, it felt like there was only one Wuying Yake just now... Qiao Sang reflected with lingering fear.

"Ganggang..."

At this moment, Gangbao flapped its wings worriedly and called out from her side.

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and turned to say, "I’m okay."

Having said that, she finally regained her senses and immediately checked the condition of Yaobao, Xiao Xunbao, and Gangbao.

"Are you all right?" asked Qiao Sang.

"Yaya."

Yaobao earnestly shook its head.

It was okay.

"Xun Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao let out a feeble call while slumped on the back of Yaobao.

It was not okay; it had just been scared to death...

Gangbao didn’t answer.

Qiao Sang looked at Gangbao and couldn’t help asking again, "Are you okay?"

She still remembered Gangbao’s silly appearance just now, which was unlike its usual self.

"Ganggang..."

Gangbao put on the hat it had been holding awkwardly and called out softly, indicating it was also fine.

That’s a relief... With her mind at ease, Qiao Sang then remembered to observe her current surroundings.

She glanced around. Towering trees came into her view.

The humid, mild air and the ground covered with dry branches and rotting leaves, everything suggested that she was probably still in the habitat of Pet Beasts...

Qiao Sang quickly came to terms with this reality. Drawing on her experience, her hands formed seals with incredible speed.

This place was too dangerous. It was better to have Lubao nearby for a sense of security...

Soon, Lubao appeared within the orange-yellow Star Array.

What she didn’t know was that pairs of red eyes were staring intently at this very spot.

Most of the red eyes fell upon Gangbao, then lingered on the Identity Bracelet in its claw.

Many of the red eyes turned angry.

Suddenly, Yaobao’s ears twitched and its gaze sharpened.

It opened its mouth wide and sprayed intense flames upward toward one of the trees.

Just as the flames were about to reach the tree, the leaves shook, and a purple Pet Beast flew out.

Then a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth...

One after another, purple figures emerged from the surrounding trees.

In no time, the sky was filled with countless purple silhouettes circling above.

The sky was almost entirely obscured, turning purple.

"Holy shit..." Qiao Sang looked up, feeling a chill shoot through her heart.

Done for. She had just escaped a Wuying Yake’s lair, only to end up in a Little Steel Falcon’s nest...

Huh? Wait! Little Steel Falcon? Qiao Sang suddenly had a thought and turned her head to look at Gangbao.
