Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
She remembered that Charles had mentioned it would take three days for the wilderness exploration, and only one day had passed.
Charles’s expression was complex as he said, "The Sand Land Dragon holds a special position in the Ba Stop Mountains. If it’s fixated on you, staying here might lead us to face the pursuit of all wild pet beasts."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang instantly thought of the Desert Spider King and Chao Guangma they had encountered earlier.
Their attitudes and positioning indeed seemed to revolve around the Sand Land Dragon as the leader.
"Then we should leave immediately." Qiao Sang didn’t dare delay even a moment.
Although the previous encounter had resulted in the evolution of Gangbao and Lubao, she absolutely did not want it to happen again.
After all, with so many wild pet beasts here, it wasn’t impossible for a few more Psychic Series Pet Beasts capable of Spatial Closure to appear.
Karo, upon hearing this, had no objections. She was here for the points, and leaving early due to circumstances other than her own wouldn’t affect her score.
Charles nodded slightly and turned to a Mechanical-type canine pet beast beside him that had been silent and unobtrusive, and said:
"You lead the way."
The Charles’ Dog, an Advanced Mechanical-type Pet Beast, could combine the data stored in its brain with a function similar to a tracking detector to provide the optimal route.
"Check-check."
The Charles’ Dog stepped forward, just about to start discerning the direction.
At that moment, Qiao Sang said:
"If we’re already being targeted, walking like this is still too dangerous. Tell me the general direction out of the mountains, and I’ll have Xiao Xunbao perform Spatial Movement to transfer us directly."
Having spent a day together, Charles and Karo naturally knew that Qiao Sang had named her Ghost Ring King ’Xiao Xunbao’.
Charles pondered for a moment and did not immediately agree, but cautiously asked:
"How proficient is your Ghost Ring King at Spatial Movement?"
In his view, Spatial Movement was a life-saving move in the wilderness, and its continuous use could easily lead to exhaustion. If the proficiency was average and the distance moved wasn’t far, it might be better to save it for a critical moment.
Pet Beast proficiency was considered a secret among some Professional Beast Tamers, but Qiao Sang had no major competitions to enroll in recently, so she didn’t have such concerns.
"Mystique." she stated bluntly.
Karo was stunned.
Charles was silent for a long time, then he picked up the display screen and looked at it for a while, pointing in the southwest direction, "Move in that direction."
Qiao Sang nodded to Xiao Xunbao.
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao cried out, then its eyes glinted with a blue light.
...
A heavy fog enveloped the dense forest, the thin mist gently floating.
The next second, a group of figures suddenly appeared here.
Various small-to-medium-sized pet beasts rapidly fled.
"Xun Xun..."
Xiao Xunbao was gasping for air, looking very exhausted.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang surveyed the surroundings and asked, "Is this place safe?"
Charles looked at the display screen in his hand and smiled, "Safe, we are already in the outer ring of the Ba Stop Mountains."
"Then let’s rest for a bit." Qiao Sang suggested.
As Charles had mentioned earlier, she had been targeted by the Sand Land Dragon. During the transfer, she had landed amid a large group of wild pet beasts, forcing Xiao Xunbao to perform Spatial Movement without precise positioning, consuming more energy than anticipated.
Charles nodded, "Okay."
Karo took a pear-shaped, milky-white fruit from her backpack and gave it to Qiao Sang, "Feed this to your Ghost Ring King to replenish energy."
While accepting it, Qiao Sang asked out of curiosity:
"What is this?"
Karo paused, then remembering that Qiao Sang was from Blue Star and wouldn’t know the fruit varieties of Chao Su Star, patiently answered:
"It’s a Doumu fruit, it can replenish a pet beast’s energy. Its flesh is soft, and it tastes sweet, almost all attribute pet beasts like it."
So it’s called Doumu fruit...Qiao Sang handed the fruit to Xiao Xunbao.
"Xun Xun!"
Xiao Xunbao took it, bit into it vigorously, and immediately its eyes lit up, showing an expression that said "this is delicious."
Qiao Sang sat down cross-legged under a tree and said:
"I’ll meditate for a bit, call me when we’re ready to go."
