Chapter 721: Chapter 650: The Best Strategy (Chapter One)

The Lava Beast’s saliva is blue? Qiao Sang was instantly drawn to the Lava Beast.

There was no helping it, the blue liquid that it vomited out was simply too striking, it was even glowing, much like magma.

Qiao Sang’s gaze fell upon the blue liquid on the ground, and immediately, a thought struck her, her eyes instantly narrowing.

This blue liquid, why does it look so much like actual magma...

Rather than a liquid, to be more precise, it’s more of a viscous substance.

Upon touching the ground, it would even emit white smoke.

Even though she was not particularly close to the blue liquid, she could feel its terrifying temperature.

Blue, high temperature, magma-like, Lava Beast... Qiao Sang’s brain was working at high speed, combining these information, when she suddenly realized something, her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Goodness! Could this be the fabled Ghastfire Sludge?!

"Xun Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao was also attracted to the blue liquid that the Lava Beast had vomited out.

It set down the Pet Beast Identifier, floated over curiously to look at the blue liquid, then shifted its gaze to the still vomiting Lava Beast, seemingly curious as to why a Pet Beast’s vomit looked so magical.

"Ya Ya."

At that moment, Yaobao called out, signaling that this fellow was encountered at the volcano, said to be in its company.

In its company... Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang grew even more certain of her conjecture.

There’s no way this Lava Beast is a wild Pet Beast!

She never expected that without doing anything, the Ghastfire Sludge would present itself right before her!

Qiao Sang immediately forgot about the loss of her Identity Bracelet and the mini Shrinking Bracelet, her emotions surged, her mood greatly improved, and she wanted to collect the Ghastfire Sludge that the Lava Beast had vomited out right away.

Among the items she purchased at Blue Star’s tool shop before, she remembered there was a container resistant to extremely high temperatures, perfect for collecting Ghastfire Sludge.

But when she looked toward Xiao Xunbao, ready to ask it to pull out the container, Qiao Sang felt numerous gazes from all directions, and her reason returned, understanding that now was not the best time to collect Ghastfire Sludge.

Qiao Sang’s brain quickly processed the situation, analyzing.

There were three groups of people present: tourists, Beast Tamers who wanted Ghastfire Sludge, and official personnel.

The tourists could be disregarded, as neither the Beast Tamers who wanted Ghastfire Sludge nor the officials would let her collect Ghastfire Sludge openly and take it away.

The reason they had not acted yet was, firstly, their attention was all on Yaobao, and secondly, they were not sure whether Yaobao was a wild Pet Beast or not.

Anybody who suddenly witnessed a powerful Pet Beast appear wouldn’t act rashly because no one knew if their actions would draw the powerful Pet Beast’s attention.

The main issue also lay in the fact that they were unsure about Yaobao’s information.

However, after they saw Yaobao interact with her, they should quickly realize, and to ensure safety, maybe they would send someone over to confirm with her later...

And there’s a third point, she’s too young, probably being dismissed by both parties.

The Beast Tamers who wanted Ghastfire Sludge wouldn’t think she had other ideas in mind, probably still viewing her as an easily deceived greenhorn...

The fact that they did not summon the Lava Beast back immediately was likely because they considered her "one of their own", and it being in her hands made no difference...

There was another possibility: whether or not the Ghastfire Sludge had been collected from the Lava Beast, they were still uncertain, and so they didn’t take the risk.

After all, summoning the Lava Beast back would potentially expose their position.

Right now, those Beast Tamers after the Ghastfire Sludge were having their Spectral-type Pets fight, hiding themselves among the tourists, not yet showing their faces.

But once the Ghastfire Sludge was seen being vomited out by the Lava Beast by both parties, they would definitely battle it out over this Lava Beast.

If she were to collect the Ghastfire Sludge now, she would definitely become the target of everyone’s arrows... Qiao Sang’s gaze unconsciously rested on the Lava Beast, still intermittently vomiting out Ghastfire Sludge.

It was unclear how much Ghastfire Sludge was still inside the Lava Beast’s body, whether it was enough for half a pound...

If there was enough, she did have a method in mind...

As she pondered, a loud voice called out, "Is this Pet Beast yours?"

Almost everyone heard the voice, and the crowd silenced, waiting for the response.

Speculation is just speculation; it’s never as good as confirmation from the person involved.

Qiao Sang followed the sound and saw the official that he had spoken with twice before.

Unlike the previous two times, the official was now at a considerable distance and looked much more cautious in demeanor and action.

Did he see the Lava Beast vomiting the mysterious liquid and now think that Qiao Sang was in league with those Beast Tamers who had attacked them?

Qiao Sang guessed inwardly but pretended to know nothing and asked,

"Are you talking about this Lava Beast?"

No, I was asking about that terrifying red Pet Beast... the man didn’t speak up, which amounted to a silent acknowledgement.

The origin of the Lava Beast also piqued his curiosity—if this kid knew something...

"It is not my Pet Beast," Qiao Sang stepped aside, purposely revealing the blue liquid vomited by the Lava Beast, and said, "It was my Pet Beast that specifically brought it out from the volcano. It seems to be sick, constantly throwing up."

It’s confirmed; it really is this kid’s Pet Beast... the tourists thought unanimously.

Both the officials and the Beast Tamers with Spectral-type Pets fixed their eyes on the blue liquid.

The mysterious liquid... There had been some obstructions before, so they weren’t sure, but now they could be certain—it was the mysterious liquid!

The Beast Tamers with Spectral-type Pets looked at the mysterious liquid with eyes that held varying degrees of desire.

Based on the exclusivity and rarity of the rare material, Beast Tamers harbored a genetically ingrained longing and greed for such materials that they needed but couldn’t normally access.

The complexion of the official changed subtly, daring not to delay any longer. They exchanged glances and swiftly designated a group to ride the Beak Flame Birds to approach Qiao Sang.

But just then, a whirlwind with a diameter of five meters and a height of six meters suddenly appeared!

The wind howled!

The strong whirlwind suddenly rushed into the ranks of the officials, forcing them to halt their advance and scatter.

"Run!" a man’s voice came.

Is he talking to me? Qiao Sang inwardly clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She had felt something was amiss when the purple Pet Beast attacked the official in the black jacket but didn’t attack her.

The group wanting the mysterious liquid seemed to be protecting her as well.

Qiao Sang knew they weren’t doing this out of goodwill; in this situation, having one more "teammate" meant more strength, increasing the likelihood of achieving their goals.

As if she had been prepared, she waved her hand and recalled Yaobao and Gangbao back into the Beast Taming Codex.

Confronting the officials head-on was a bad move; the most likely outcome of negotiating with the tiger for its skin was being kicked out afterward. Taking advantage when both sides were reluctant to let the other obtain the mysterious liquid, the best strategy was to leave!

"The ground is covered with the stuff the Lava Beast vomited. Be careful not to step on it!" Qiao Sang shouted loudly on purpose, nodded at Xiao Xunbao, and whispered, "Go as far as possible."

"Xun Xun~" Xiao Xunbao caught on and its eyes flashed blue.

The next second, Qiao Sang and Xiao Xunbao, including the Lava Beast, disappeared from the spot.

...

Spatial Movement! Fauler, hidden among the tourists, changed his expression drastically and roared, "Summon back the Lava Beast now!"

"I, I can’t sense the Lava Beast’s location," McCarthy said, turning frantic.

He then seemed to remember something, his face brightened, and he reassured, "It’s okay, I’ve arranged to meet her at Black Camel Spring."

Idiot! Fauler cursed in his heart.

Only those with lesser power would be arranged by the strong. That kid obviously wasn’t just any child, her strength might be even higher than yours, so why should she listen to you!

Fauler took a deep breath, suppressing the surge of rage in his heart and his gaze settled on the somewhat solidified mysterious liquid on the ground, making a decisive decision,

"Never mind the Lava Beast for now, let’s get our hands on this mysterious liquid first!"
