Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1376

Chapter 1376. Chapter 1371 Blade-Slaying Scaled Dragon VS Little Treasure Hunter (Two-in-One)

“Xunxun?”

High in the sky, Little Xunbao stared blankly at the Bladescaled Dragon looking around, wondering what it was looking at.

However, it quickly realized this was an opportunity and immediately concealed itself.

This Bladescaled Dragon, could it be that it can’t see where the Underworld Lord is…? Xia Huo keenly sensed something, her eyelids twitching, and said, “Domain.”

Hearing the command, Qiao Sang immediately guessed.

If she wasn’t mistaken, the Bladescaled Dragon was about to use the Malice Domain.

Unlike other high-level domain skills, the Malice Domain wasn’t particularly powerful, only classified as high-tier. This skill would expand a domain filled with negative emotions within a certain range, affecting the will of creatures within the domain and causing them to experience negative emotions.

Additionally, it allowed the pet casting the skill to sense the location of opponents within the domain.

Other than that, it had no other uses.

Was it trying to use the Malice Domain to sense Little Xunbao’s true location…? Qiao Sang frowned in thought.

She remembered that the Malice Domain could sense energy entities, not living beings—both Stands and Dark Shadows were energy entities.

It seemed the Bladescaler’s Malice Domain proficiency was high enough to sense the energy level of energy entities, thus determining which was its true form…

“Blade.”

Just then, the Bladescaler cried out, raising its left leg.

But before it could stomp down, its leg suddenly seemed to be controlled by something, uncontrollably falling backward.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao appeared on the ground at some point, its claws touching the ground and connecting with the Bladescaler’s shadow.

The Bladescaler’s eyes were down, but it couldn’t see anything. Its tail straightened, plunging into the ground to prevent its body from falling completely.

At the same time, a black halo spread outward from its tail, like a tide spreading in all directions, staining everything in its path black.

In just a moment, the area returned to its original color.

In an instant, the entire terrain map appeared in the Bladescaled Dragon’s mind like a three-dimensional image. It clearly sensed a dense mass of purple energy on the ground not far ahead. “

Found you…” The Bladescaled Dragon glanced down again.

This time, it still saw nothing.

“Xun Xun~”

The black light on Little Treasure’s body flashed.

The next second, a giant Netherworld Lord, about sixty meters in size, with a black energy ball about ten meters in diameter condensed in its claws, descended from the sky, slamming down towards the Bladescaled Dragon.

The Bladescaled Dragon maintained its original posture, forcefully swinging its head downwards.

The incomparably sharp blade on its head flashed coldly, instantly attacking the direction of the giant Netherworld Lord above.

“The Bladescaled Dragon has unleashed its companion item at the Dark Shadow!” Aurore shouted from the commentary platform.

The blade on the Bladescaled Dragon’s head wasn’t its design, but rather an innate tool it possessed from birth. It could be used for both close-range and ranged attacks, and using the blade on its head was a favorite attack method of the Bladescaled Dragon… Watching the scene unfold, Qiao Sang recalled relevant information, thinking that finally, Little Treasure Hunter had met an opponent with a similar innate tool.

The cold, gleaming blade cleaved the giant Nether Ring Monarch in two with ease.

The giant Nether Ring Monarch vanished with a loud “bang.”

The blade traced a delicate arc in the air, returning to the Bladescaled Dragon’s head.

But the instant the blade touched its head, its form changed, transforming into a golden ring.

“Plop~”

The ring fell to the ground.

The Bladescaled Dragon looked towards the sound, saw the ring rolling to the side, and then realized something. It reached for its head with its claws, only to find nothing.

“!!!”

“Blade!!!”

Bladescaler roared in anger upon realizing its blade was missing.

At the same time, Little Treasure, its left claw connected to Bladescaler’s shadow, its right claw gripping the blade, mimicked its brother Ya Bao’s destruction of an opponent’s item, putting the blade to its mouth and biting down hard.

The blade remained intact.

“Xunxun…”

Little Treasure awkwardly put the blade down, acting as if nothing had happened.

“Bladescaler’s blade has been replaced by the Ring Lord’s ring!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis’s eyes lit up, her tone quite excited: “Its blade is now in the Ring Lord’s hands!”

“It’s a psychic-type trick!” Auror said: “The Ring Lord used a trick to transfer its companion item to Bladescaler!”

“Yin Bell.”

“Yin Bell.”

Yin Bell looked at the scene and called out twice, indicating that the Ring Lord wanted to bite open Bladescaler’s companion item, but its teeth seemed to be weak, and it failed.

Cheers erupted from the stands, many people and their pets showing expressions of surprise.

Sometimes, after seeing so many clashes of skills, this kind of unexpected move is even more eye-opening.

It can even perform magic tricks… Xia Huo’s heart sank.

She thought she had studied Qiao Sang extensively, but she had never heard of the Netherworld Lord being able to perform magic tricks.

Against the Netherworld Lord, the Bladescaled Dragon’s companion item was extremely important. The Netherworld Lord was adept at using shadow penetration to redirect attacks, but attacks from companion items, even if redirected, could be instantly controlled, preventing them from hitting the pet possessing the item. This was one of the reasons she had sent the Bladescaled Dragon to fight.

The companion item had to be retrieved… Xia Huo noticed that the Bladescaled Dragon’s emotions were a bit off and said,

“Calm down!”

“Blade!”

The voice of its Beastmaster reached its ears, and the Bladescaled Dragon took a deep breath, instantly calming down considerably. It roared, and its tail, which had been embedded in the ground, suddenly erupted with a burst of silvery-white energy.

Huge cracks quickly appeared on the ground, followed by a sudden explosion that sent countless fragments of rock and dust flying upwards.

Little Treasure Hunter leaped off the ground, its left claw rising, instantly transforming the shadow of the Blade-Scaled Dragon from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.

“Blade!”

The Blade-Scaled Dragon seized the opportunity to regain its footing, opened its mouth, and unleashed a beam of silvery-white light towards Little Treasure Hunter’s location.

Little Treasure Hunter didn’t move. Just as it was about to attack, a gigantic abyssal black hole suddenly appeared in front of it.

A silver-white beam of light plunged into it.

At the same time, a similar abyssal black hole appeared about three meters above the Bladescaled Dragon.

“Bang!”

A silver-white beam shot out from it, striking the Bladescaled Dragon heavily.

Qiao Sang clearly saw a flash of black light on the Bladescaled Dragon’s body before the silver-white beam struck it.

Revenge—using this move before being injured allows you to powerfully return the damage from the last attack to your opponent… It’s the same move as Little Treasure Hunter…

Although Xiao Xunbao hadn’t used this move much before, Qiao Sang recognized it at a glance.

The Bladescaled Dragon, as a Royal-level Dragon-type pet, had significantly higher defense than ordinary Royal-level pets. According to the data, it also possessed some defensive characteristics. The damage it could withstand, Xiao Xunbao certainly couldn’t. The opponent hadn’t even cried out after being attacked by dragon breath, and it hadn’t dodged when Xiao Xunbao wasn’t using Shadow to control it. It was clearly planning to use Revenge to absorb the attack…

Xiao Xunbao could use Shadow Penetration to transfer attacks. Was Xia Huo planning to have the Bladescaled Dragon use Revenge to absorb attacks every time, and then counterattack?…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but laugh, but she quickly composed herself to avoid being noticed by her opponent.

Speaking of which, there was one move Xiao Xunbao had never used in battle…

“Xun Xun…”

On the field, Xiao Xunbao, one claw connected to Shadow, the other holding a sharp blade, looked at the towering Bladescaled Dragon in the distance, whose body hadn’t even swayed under the powerful attack, and its expression became somewhat displeased.

Why does the opponent look so tall and strong? They’re clearly of the same level, yet I’m so small…

Unseen by anyone, a wisp of black energy drifted into Little Treasure’s body, causing a sudden surge of dissatisfaction and malice towards its surroundings.

“Xunxun!”

Little Treasure grew increasingly annoyed, picking up the blade and biting down hard again.

The blade didn’t budge.

Qiao Sang keenly sensed something was wrong with Little Treasure and said, “Put it down.”

This meant placing the blade back into the ring. The Bladescaled Dragon’s blade had been forged through countless trials; ordinary attacks couldn’t damage it. Whether held in its hand or thrown off the field, the Bladescaled Dragon could recall the blade through its connection to its companion item.

Little Treasure could hold it in its hand, but it was inconvenient for using skills. If the Bladescaled Dragon’s connection to the blade was strong enough, it might harm Little Treasure in a crucial moment. Moreover, even if the malice domain disappeared, the opponent could still sense Little Treasure’s location through the blade.

The safest way was to put the blade into the ring.

As Little Treasure Hunter’s companion item, the ring’s storage function could naturally be used on the field.

Of course, she didn’t want Little Treasure Hunter to put it away now, but just wanted it to find an opportunity. As long as Little Treasure Hunter was calm enough, it would naturally know what to do.

However, Little Treasure Hunter didn’t obey the command immediately as usual, but instead bit the blade again.

This was due to the influence of the malicious domain… Qiao Sang immediately understood what was going on.

In a flash of thought, the Blade-Scaled Dragon Claw rose, instantly transforming into a black blade, and slashed at the shadow.

At this moment, Little Treasure Hunter’s attention was mostly focused on the blade.

Without strong energy control, the shadow was cleaved in two like a fragile cloth.

Xia Huo’s eyes lit up, and he said:

“Attack!”

At the same time, Qiao Sang shouted: “Live broadcast!”

These two words rang in Little Treasure Hunter’s mind like thunder. The negative emotions seemed to disappear suddenly. Little Treasure Hunter was startled, straightened its posture, and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Just then, a thick, silvery-white beam of light pierced through its original location.

“The Nether Ring Monarch seems to have broken free of the malicious energy,” Nefertis said from the commentary booth.

The earlier scene of Little Treasure biting the blade without attacking had made everyone realize that something was wrong with it.

“That’s right,” Auror said, “I wonder what the word ‘live stream’ mentioned by Josang means to the Nether Ring Monarch.”

Nefertis thought for a moment and said, “I heard that the Nether Ring Monarch sometimes does live streams, so perhaps this job has a special meaning for it.”

“Yin Zhong,”

Yin Zhongsi exclaimed with emotion, indicating that the Nether Ring Monarch’s flashy skills were indeed very suitable for live streaming.

As they talked, an identical Nether Ring Monarch appeared high in the sky.

In the mind of the Bladescaled Dragon, two purple energy bodies were clearly seen, one dense and one sparse.

Its gaze was precisely aimed at Little Treasure’s main body, and it roared:

“Blade!”

Instantly, the blade held in Little Treasure’s hand seemed to be summoned, vibrating violently, trying to break free of its restraints.

Remembering its Beastmaster’s instructions, Little Treasure released its claws.

The blade instantly flew towards the Bladescaled Dragon at astonishing speed.

The Bladescaled Dragon showed a look of surprise.

Just as the blade was about to pierce its head, both Little Treasures vanished simultaneously in the sky.

Xia Huo sensed something and shouted, “Slash!”

The Bladescaled Dragon raised its claws, preparing to catch the flying blade and unleash the move its Beastmaster had instructed, but at that moment, a golden ring appeared out of thin air before it, and the blade flew into it and disappeared.

“Xunxun~” Little Treasure reappeared beside the ring, tugging at the Bladescaled Dragon’s eyelids with its claws and making a face.

The Bladescaled Dragon couldn’t see Little Treasure’s provocation; it only knew that a purple energy entity held a ring and had absorbed the blade.

At this moment, his Beastmaster’s voice reached his ears: “Sweep!”

“Blade Parry!”

Blade Parry Scale Dragon roared, without the slightest hesitation, channeling its energy, and beams of black light shot out from its body in all directions without any pattern.

The black beams were so fast that they almost pierced through the entire arena in the blink of an eye.

“Bang bang bang!” The entire space trembled violently as beams of black light crashed into an invisible barrier, scattering thick black light.

This was a protective mechanism for the battlefield, preventing harm to the spectators in the stands.

End Scatter, a Dark-type super-tier skill, could unleash the Dark-type energy within the body, forming a devastating beam storm. Any strike would cause devastating damage. If the pet using this skill was in a negative emotional state, the greater the malice, the stronger the power… Qiao Sang did not issue any commands.

Because Little Treasure Hunter had already launched a counterattack.

On the field, two identical Netherworld Lords were constantly teleporting and changing positions amidst the beams of black light.

At the same time, deep black holes appeared in the air.

A black hole appeared above the head of the Bladescaled Dragon.

“Bang!” A loud crash.

Little Treasure Hunter’s substitute couldn’t dodge in time and vanished.

“Seek!”

Little Treasure Hunter dodged quickly while using Shadow Penetration.

Black beams of light continuously pierced into the black hole. A flicker of

black light flashed on the Bladescaled Dragon’s body.

The Bladescaled Dragon possessed multiple scales, as well as three defensive traits: Reverse Scale Armor and Obsession. Even the damage from super-tier skills could withstand most of it. Even if the Netherworld Lord used Shadow Penetration to transfer its attack, as long as the Bladescaled Dragon used Revenge to withstand the attack, and then used Malice Burst to double the damage it received and retaliate against the Netherworld Lord, it could defeat the Netherworld Lord! Xia Huo’s heart raced, her eyes brimming with excitement.

In this match, she was determined to defeat the Netherworld Lord!

Just as Xia Huo was filled with excitement, Qiao Sang spoke:

“Amazing.” (End of Chapter)
