Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1386

Chapter 1386. Chapter 1381 Bonefire King VS Qingbao (Two-in-One)

This was… Everyone stared in astonishment at the chaotic lightning that suddenly appeared high in the sky, the first skill name that popped into their minds being “Thunderous Weather.”

But the next second, they rejected that idea.

“Boom boom boom!”

Blinding yellow lightning flashed across the night sky, each booming sound seemingly shattering the heavens. A gale howled, and all the dust on the field was swept into the air by the sudden gust of wind, whistling wildly.

Even the hair and hems of the clothes of the two figures standing on the high platform were flying wildly.

This was an effect that “Thunderous Weather” could not achieve.

“Qingfeng Yunren has unleashed Thunderstorm!” On the commentary platform, Nefertis’s eyes lit up as she shouted.

“Thunderstorm, a dual-attribute super-tier skill of Flying and Electric types! The power of thunder combined with the storm can affect the entire battlefield!” Auror exclaimed excitedly, “I didn’t expect Qingfeng Yunren to unleash such a powerful move right from the start!”

Nefertis calmly stated, “While Thunderstorm is powerful, its accuracy is low. Qingfeng Yunren’s immediate use of this move directly consumed a large amount of energy, which I don’t think was a particularly good choice.”

“Yinzhong,”

Yinzhongsi called out, indicating that Ghost-type pets are generally afraid of lightning. Although Thunderstorm’s accuracy is low, it can still make Bonefire King feel fear. Both lightning and gales can affect its movements to some extent.

At this point, it showed an interested expression and called out,

“Yinzhong.”

It was now more curious about why Qingfeng Yunren hadn’t revealed itself under Bonefire King’s spell.

On the field, Bonefire King showed a solemn expression.

This guy was actually unaffected by the spell…

Suddenly, it sensed something and disappeared into invisibility.

The next second, a fierce gust of wind swept past where it had been.

Then, with a deafening roar, a magnificent lightning dragon tore through the dark night sky and crashed down.

“Bang!!!”

The ground shattered upon impact, countless fragments flying everywhere.

“Bone!”

The Bonefire King jolted awake, immediately revealing itself and quickly retreating dozens of meters.

Realizing its mistake, it blushed and was about to disappear again

when its Beastmaster’s voice rang in its ears:

“Burn.”

The Bonefire King immediately stopped moving, and a sinister, dark red flame erupted from its body.

Qingbao, who was preparing to ambush from behind, quickly dodged backward, frowning as it revealed itself.

The camera zoomed in, and everyone could clearly see that its ears were stuffed with white “cotton.”

“The Bonefire King is engulfed in bone fire!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed, “It successfully prevented Qingfeng Yunren’s sneak attack!”

Aurore, looking at the white “cotton” in Qingbao’s ears, suddenly realized something and exclaimed,

“Qingfeng Yunren blocked the Bonefire King’s voice by tearing off a piece of white cloud from beneath him and stuffing it into his ears!”

He exclaimed in admiration, “I never imagined the white cloud beneath Qingfeng Yunren could have such a function!”

“Yinzhong. “

Yinzhongsi gave a “So that’s how it is” look, indicating that it had used a part of its own body as earplugs. It explained why the spell hadn’t worked.

“Yinzhong?”

It then exclaimed curiously, wondering if it could hear Qiao Sang’s commands since the earplugs were so effective.

At this moment, the entire audience was abuzz with discussion:

“The white clouds on Qingfeng Yunren’s body can actually be torn off?”

“Holy crap, I suddenly remembered! When Qingfeng Yunren first appeared, he actually tore off the white clouds from his lower body!”

“Are these white clouds that effective at soundproofing?”

“It’s a legendary pet beast, so it’s normal for the materials on its body to have a strong soundproofing effect.”

“Amazing! I didn’t expect the white clouds on Qingfeng Yunren’s body could be used like this!”

“If the soundproofing is really that strong, won’t he be able to hear Qiao Sang’s commands?”

“Let’s wait and see if Qingfeng Yunren will obey Qiao Sang’s commands.”

Everyone was attracted by the white clouds stuffed in Qingbao’s ears, and for a moment no one paid attention to why Xia Huo suddenly issued the “burn” command.

Only Qiao Sang noticed this, and she looked at the figure in the distance, frowning in the same way as Qingbao.

Could Xia Huo see the trajectory of the wind?

The area of bone fire burning around the Bonefire King wasn’t large. The sudden ignition was clearly due to noticing the trajectory of the wind. If Qingbao hadn’t dodged quickly, she would have been caught in the burning area…

If an A-rank Beastmaster’s feedback bonus is particularly outstanding in vision and perception, they might indeed notice the wind’s trajectory. However, the platform the opponent was standing on was some distance from the center of the arena, making perception unlikely. So, they could only have seen it…

“Bone Bone.”

On the field, the dark red flames on the Bonefire King’s body burned for two seconds before disappearing. It looked at Qingbao, who had finally appeared, with an expression that said, “You finally showed up.” Then, its eyes glowed purple.

Qingbao, having spent a long time with Xiao Xunbao, keenly sensed that this was a curse from a Ghost-type pet. It once again vanished into the wind.

The Bonefire King smiled contemptuously, its body rippled with black energy.

But just then, a deafening roar came from the sky, and a terrifying bolt of lightning crashed down.

The Bonefire King was startled, instantly stopping its skill and quickly dodging to the side.

But after moving only a few meters, a terrifying gale howled in, gusts of wind like flying blades sweeping over it. The Bonefire King let out a miserable cry amidst the raging wind:

“Bone!”

Why didn’t Xia Huo issue a command like “burn” this time…? Qiao Sang frowned, various thoughts flashing through her mind:

Could it be that the other party saw that Qing Bao hadn’t merged with the gale attacking the Bonefire King this time?

Is that possible?

If they could even tell whether it had merged with the wind or not, they wouldn’t have been fooled so many times by Xiao Xunbao’s substitute…

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her: That’s right, the trajectory!

The gale generated by the Thunderstorm moves erratically, only rampaging across the field, but once Qing Bao merges with the gale, its movement becomes regular, because the gale controlled by Qing Bao will only attack the Bonefire King.

Without Qingbao’s integration, the raging winds were erratic, leaving the opponent no time to issue commands… Thinking this, Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly looked at the arena with a serious expression.

The Bonefire King possessed the characteristic of a cursed body, giving it a high chance of immobilizing its opponent when attacked.

According to the data, the Bonefire King’s cursed body was S-rank, making the probability of immobilizing its opponent almost 100%.

Once Qingbao was hit, the opponent would definitely unleash its ultimate move…

In a flash of thought, the Bonefire King broke free from the raging winds.

At the same time, Qingbao appeared not far away, its body stiff, clearly unable to move.

It was indeed hit… Qiao Sang thought.

“Bone,” Xia Huo said.

“Bone Bone.”

The Bonefire King, covered in wounds, sneered at the immobilized Qingbao, then plunged its claws into its stomach, pulling out a two-meter-long bone radiating both dark red and purple energy.

“The Bonefire King is about to unleash the Fire-Rotting Bone!” Nefertis exclaimed excitedly from the commentary platform.

Fire-Rotting Bones, the Bonefire King’s exclusive skill, is considered an advanced skill. Its strength increases with the Bonefire King’s level and energy. It uses the ghost-type energy and bone fire energy attached to the bone club to strike the opponent, and can even burn the target’s soul.

The stronger the Bonefire King, the stronger the power of Fire-Rotting Bones.

It is said that the ultimate goal of Fire-Rotting Bones is a super-tier skill… Qiao Sang recalled the information about Fire-Rotting Bones in his mind, maintaining a serious expression, and issued the command: “Wind.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bonefire King raised his two-meter-long bone club and slammed it down towards Qingbao.

Just as it was about to hit Qingbao, a sudden gust of wind swept in, carrying Qingbao high into the air.

“Boom!”

The bone club missed its target, and dark red and purple energy raged to both sides with the airflow.

“Qingfeng Yunren is frozen in place but has moved!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis shouted, “It’s moving through the wind! It heard Qiao Sang’s command!”

“Yin Zhong?”

“Yin Zhong?”

Yin Zhong Si exclaimed curiously, wondering why Qingfeng Yunren couldn’t hear Bonefire King’s spell but could hear Qiao Sang’s command. Could it be that Qingfeng Yunren’s evolution condition was also Bond Evolution?

Aurol pondered, “I heard that Qingfeng Yunren’s Beastmaster is favored by the wind, possessing the same ability to control and communicate with it. Perhaps Qiao Sang communicates with Qingfeng Yunren through the wind.”

Moving by controlling the wind… The immobilization effect’s duration is running out… While the commentators were discussing, Xia Huo quickly finished her analysis.

Although the previous match had left her with severe psychological trauma, as a professional Beastmaster, she understood the principle of not letting her mentality affect her performance.

She had already adjusted her state, but she couldn’t afford to experience any excitement or agitation during the match.

“A barrier,”

Xia Huo announced.

The Bonefire King channeled its energy, and a semi-transparent black barrier quickly condensed, its vast area completely enveloping Qing Bao, who had been swept high into the sky by the wind.

“The Bonefire King has unleashed a Ghost Barrier!” Nefertis exclaimed from the commentary booth.

“Within the Ghost Barrier, the Bonefire King’s speed will reach an extremely terrifying level,” Aurol said.

“Yin Zhong.”

Yin Zhong Si exclaimed with a sigh, indicating that the accuracy of the Thunderstorm move was truly terrible; it had been casting for quite some time and still hadn’t hit Bonefire King.

Then, it suddenly realized that Bonefire King was also a Ghost-type, and immediately changed its tone, calling out again:

“Yin Zhong.”

Even Qingfeng Yunren, who could transform into wind, might not be as fast as Bonefire King within the Ghost Barrier.

Ghost Barrier, a high-level Ghost-type skill, not only restricts the target’s movement range, but also greatly enhances the speed of Ghost-type pets within it, making them move as unpredictably as true ghosts… Qiao Sang recalled relevant information in her mind, without issuing any commands.

Within the semi-transparent black Ghost Barrier, Bonefire King suddenly vanished, then reappeared behind Qing Bao as if by teleportation, raising its two-meter-long bone club.

Qing Bao sensed the movement behind him through the surrounding wind.

“Bang!”

A loud crash resounded as the two-meter-long bone club struck Qing Bao hard.

Dark red energy mixed with purple exploded outwards.

A shockwave, carrying two intertwined energies, swept outwards, momentarily obscuring the figures of Qingbao and the Bonefire King.

“The Fire-Rotting Bone has successfully struck Qingfeng Yunren!” Nefertis exclaimed from the commentary booth.

“Qingfeng Yunren’s defense isn’t high; under the attack of the Fire-Rotting Bone, it’ll likely be severely injured,” Auror remarked.

A stir rippled through the audience; they hadn’t expected the legendary pet to be attacked so easily, and many were disappointed.

However, their eyes widened in shock and disbelief, as if they had witnessed something incomprehensible.

The shockwave dissipated, revealing the figures of the Bonefire King and Qingfeng Yunren clearly.

The bone club had struck Qingfeng Yunren’s head, yet it hadn’t caused any damage!

Qingfeng Yunren raised its claws, even grabbing at the bone club!

“Bonefire King’s Fire Decaying Bone attack hit Qingfeng Yunren!” On the commentary platform, Auror stood up in shock, saying, “But Qingfeng Yunren wasn’t harmed at all!”

Nefertis quickly realized something, saying, “Qingfeng Yunren has the characteristic of ‘Painted Skin’.”

“Yinzhong.”

Yinzhong Si nodded slightly and called out, indicating that it thought so too. Painted Skin can be immune to the first damage received, so Fire Decaying Bone had no effect on it.

It’s Painted Skin… On the high platform, Xia Huo immediately thought of the reason why Qingfeng Yunren wasn’t injured.

It’s just immunity to the first damage received, not like the Underworld Ring Monarch…

Xia Huo took a deep breath, blocking the Underworld Ring Monarch’s face in his mind, and adjusted his mindset.

“Bonefire?!”

In the semi-transparent black barrier, Bonefire King’s eyes widened, showing an expression of “How is this possible?”

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao imitated Bonefire King’s previous smile, then raised its claws, and a pink giant hammer twice the size of its body instantly condensed.

Seeing this, the Bonefire King was about to dodge.

But at that moment, a deafening roar echoed through the sky.

The Bonefire King’s body trembled uncontrollably.

“Bang!”

Qingbao, wielding its pink giant hammer, struck the Bonefire King hard.

The semi-transparent black barrier shattered and dissipated.

The Bonefire King screamed and flew backward.

Qingbao vanished like the wind, appearing beside the still-flying Bonefire King and raising its claw.

Under the moonlight, countless brilliant starlight suddenly appeared and showered down, converging around Qingbao.

A five-meter-long giant hammer, condensed from brilliant starlight and pink energy, instantly materialized in Qingbao’s claw.

What is this?! Everyone and all the pets stared wide-eyed.

The Star Moon Hammer? Xia Huo’s pupils narrowed slightly, and a variety of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Was he going to lose again?

No, absolutely not!

“Burn!” The fighting spirit that had been dormant for so long surged again, and Xia Huo issued the command.

Dark red flames erupted from the Bonefire King’s body, sweeping outwards.

“Qingqing!”

This time, Qingbao didn’t choose to dodge.

“Bang!”

With a loud crash, a five-meter-long hammer, formed from dazzling starlight and pink energy, slammed into the Bonefire King.

At the same time, dark red flames engulfed Qingbao’s figure.

“Bone!!!”

The Bonefire King let out a shrill scream, plummeting downwards amidst the raging shockwave.

“Clarity…”

A gust of wind swept in, dispersing the shockwave and dark red flames. A figure rose rapidly from within, wielding a giant hammer, his expression ferocious as he stared at the falling Bonefire King. (End of Chapter)
