Qiao Sang: "???"
Not far away, a woman with the collar of her garment covering most of her face frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
She had indeed seen that man interacting with the child, and the child had a spectral-type pet beast, and she even let her other pet beast lead the way; it should be someone who was with them, so why would she save an official personnel member?
Could it be that she had just been meddling in other people’s business?
Qiao Sang was completely unaware that the attack had been conducted by someone with the intention of helping her, and she looked towards Yaobao again.
Yaobao stood above the volcano crater, staring blankly downward, lost in thought.
It couldn’t be thinking of going down there, could it... Qiao Sang shivered and immediately thought about entering the Beast Taming Codex to prevent any accidents.
Just at this moment, the man beside her spoke again:
"Summon your pet beast back quickly. We’ve detected that the volcano could erupt a second time tonight. The temperature would be unbearable even for fire attribute beasts, let alone your psychic series pet."
As he spoke, he formed hand seals, and a green Star Array lit up, revealing an eagle-like pet beast about three meters in size, mostly brown in color with light pink beaks, within the Star Array.
The man mounted the eagle-like pet beast and said:
"I’m going to help. After you summon your pet beast back, leave this area quickly."
With that, the eagle-like pet beast flapped its wings and flew towards the center of the battle high in the sky.
...
At the same time.
Near the volcano.
A pet beast around three meters in size, with a red body and eyes of black, with a pair of flame-shaped antennae on its head and a body made of lava, slowly appeared at the mouth of the volcano and began to crawl towards the still-erupting center.
"Ya?"
Yaobao looked towards the beast.
"Lava."
The Lava Beast lifted its head slightly, uttered a sound, signaling to keep quiet, we’re all in this together.
Yaobao: "???"
Who are you? Who’s with you?
While Yaobao was still confused, it felt a force from beneath the volcano as if urging it to go inside.
"Ya Ya..."
Yaobao forgot the Lava Beast’s presence and once again fixated on the bubbling volcano crater.
To go inside...
Wanting to go inside...
Although the Lava Beast blended in nearly completely with the magma, Yaobao’s presence still drew the attention of many people towards it.
At the moment Yaobao made its call, some people spotted the Lava Beast.
In the sky, several official personnel members, who still had strength to spare, fought while observing the activity at the volcano crater.
"Why is there a lava beast going inside?"
"That lava beast seems to lack an identity bracelet."
"I recall there aren’t any wild lava beasts around Koteria Volcano."
"No identity bracelet is fine, there are so many wild pet beasts, we can’t manage them all."
"But still..."
The official personnel member who doubted there were wild lava beasts around Koteria wanted to say more, but at that moment, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a mysterious cold breath swept over them.
From behind, dozens of eerie green ghost fires rapidly approached.
The Beak Flame Bird sensed danger and dove at an angle, drawing a clever arc in the air, nimbly avoiding the attack.
Thrown off by the interruption, the official with a round face was forced to focus on the battle and forgot what he had intended to say.
"Are you alright?" Coincidentally arriving, a man in black outdoor clothing flew beside him and asked.
"I’m fine," the round-faced official replied.
Then he remembered something and asked,
"How about it? Did you catch that person?"
"It was just a kid, not part of that group," the man explained. "It was her first time here; she just wanted to watch the volcano erupt and didn’t know the rule against getting too close. I think her pet beast was just curious, having never seen such a thing before."
"Don’t worry, I’ve spoken to her. She will summon it back," he reassured.
Hearing this, the round-faced official didn’t say anything further.
...
Elsewhere.
Fauler and McCarthy hid in the shadows, observing the situation.
