Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1424

1424. Chapter 1419 The Characteristics of Bad Luck (Two-in-One)

On the field, the “sun” plummeted vertically at an terrifying speed.

The four-colored poisonous mist grew increasingly dense.

“Bang bang bang!” The rain of fire continued to fall.

The Nightmare Serpent didn’t use any defense, stubbornly enduring the constant rain of fire falling on it, continuously unleashing its poisonous gas.

The poisonous gas spread.

Serana was preparing to make the Nightmare Serpent abandon its defense and attack… Josan watched the scene on the field, his brain racing.

With the attack power of Tooth’s Radiant Strike, if the Nightmare Serpent didn’t dodge, it would definitely fall under this attack. However, Tooth would also be affected by the four types of poisonous gas, and unless it unleashed its raging fire, it wouldn’t be able to fight in the next match…

With Tooth’s current proficiency with Radiant Strike, it could interrupt the attack midway, but against a pet like the Nightmare Serpent, it was almost impossible to remain unharmed after a head-on attack.

Was there any way for Tooth to attack the Nightmare Serpent at close range without being corroded by the poisonous gas…?

That’s it! Josang suddenly realized something, his eyes lighting up as he shouted,

“Wind!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a fiery red gust of hot wind was released from the falling “sun.” The crimson gale, following the “sun’s” descent, acted like a powerful upward whirlwind, completely isolating the “sun” from the surrounding poisonous gas.

Wherever it passed, the poisonous gas scattered wildly.

“Burning Emperor has used Scorching Wind!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed with delight.

Auror was equally surprised, saying, “I didn’t expect Burning Emperor to be able to use Scorching Wind while performing Radiant Impact. Whether it’s Radiant Impact or Scorching Wind, Burning Emperor’s proficiency is very high!”

“Heart,”

Zhi Ai called out, indicating that it seemed Josang wanted Burning Emperor to use Scorching Wind to disperse all the surrounding poisonous gas—a truly excellent method.

“Use scorching winds to disperse the poison gas… No, it can’t…” Sera, focused on the speed and location of the “sun’s” descent, suddenly spoke: “Barrier.”

“Moldy.”

The Moldy Serpent’s eyes glowed purple, and the next second, a purplish-black spherical barrier enveloped it.

Simultaneously, the various poisonous gases emanating from its body continued to be released.

Purple, black, red, and green—four colors of poisonous gas—rapidly permeated the entire barrier.

“Bang!!!”

A deafening roar.

“Crack!” The purplish-black barrier shattered.

The “sun,” pressing down on the Moldy Serpent, crashed down.

Golden light exploded, and a terrifying, immense power instantly swept across the entire area.

Where it landed, the ground was blasted into a deep crater.

The ground trembled and cracked, and the various colors of poisonous gas were roared into the air by the shockwave and red heat.

The magma, now completely purplish-black, was instantly blasted up, forming a huge purplish-black water column in the sky, which then fell downwards along with a rain of fire.

“The Burning Emperor has landed a direct hit on the Nightmare Serpent!” Nefertis shouted from the commentary booth.

A clamor erupted from the arena.

“Is the match really over already?”

“I think it is. Burning Emperor’s Radiant Impact looks pretty powerful; Nightmare Serpent probably can’t withstand it.”

“Nightmare Serpent just used Dream Eater Barrier. That barrier is a super-tier skill, so even if it can’t completely block the damage, it should at least take most of it. Nightmare Serpent might not fall immediately.”

“Even if Nightmare Serpent falls, Burning Emperor doesn’t think he can hold out much longer. So much poison gas and toxic magma—even a pet with high defense wouldn’t be unaffected.”

“The Scorching Wind could disperse the poison gas before, but when Radiant Impact hit the barrier, the Scorching Wind definitely couldn’t be used. Burning Emperor must have absorbed all the poison gas inside the barrier.”

“Didn’t Qiao Sang give the ‘Shutter’ command? Maybe Burning Emperor can hold his breath for that long.”

“Do you think that’s possible? Holding his breath for that long?”

“Speaking of which, isn’t Nightmare Serpent’s bad luck trait famous? Burning Emperor has attacked Nightmare Serpent so many times; won’t he be affected?”

“It’s highly likely, but at most, Fen Di Duo will just inhale the poison gas, unable to unleash its fierce fire, and thus unable to fight. It

‘ll be incredibly unlucky.” “It feels like a one-for-one trade. Of all Qiao Sang’s pets, Fen Di Duo has the highest attack power. Although the Nightmare Serpent is quite disgusting and difficult to deal with, trading it for it feels like a loss.”

“Just watch. If Fen Di Duo also falls and can’t fight, this match will definitely be won by Serana.”

“I guess Serana thinks the same way. Trading the Nightmare Serpent for Fen Di Duo is really not a loss.”

Amidst the clamor, the shockwave on the field dissipated.

Fen Di Duo was standing on the Nightmare Serpent’s back.

But the next second, Fen Di Duo suddenly disappeared, reappearing high in the sky, breathing heavily.

In the giant crater, the Nightmare Serpent’s eyes were closed, already unconscious.

The scene was briefly quiet for a moment, then erupted into an even louder clamor.

“Oh my god, Radiant Impact knocked out Nightmare Serpent?”

“That’s normal. Nightmare Serpent’s defense isn’t high among royal-level pets, and it was already hit by Lava Purgatory and Spark Rain. Another Radiant Impact, and it definitely couldn’t withstand it.” “

Was Burning Emperor holding its breath the whole time? Could it hold it for that long?”

“You’re overthinking it. It probably held it again later. It used Scorching Wind in the middle, and that skill has to be used with its mouth. With so much poison gas, some of it must have gotten in.” “

No, it’s precisely because it used Scorching Wind that the poison gas couldn’t get in. The wind dispersed the poison gas, okay?”

“I just want to say that Qiao Sang is awesome, taking the first win directly.”

“Don’t be too happy yet. You guys forgot how many pets that fought Nightmare Serpent before fell down without being hit head-on.”

“Burning Emperor shouldn’t be like that, right? Wasn’t it holding its breath the whole time?”

On the field, the pet wearing the referee’s badge came to Nightmare Serpent’s side to check it.

Just as it was being examined, high in the sky, a sudden purple light flashed across Ya Bao’s body, followed by a look of pain as its body rapidly turned purple at a visible speed.

The next moment, it plummeted from the height.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

“Ya Bao!” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but shout.

With a “bang,” Toothpick crashed into the black lava, splashing lava everywhere.

Serana, seeing this, smirked.

The Nightmare Serpent, having been attacked so many times, was bound to activate its bad luck trait. Add to that the four types of poisonous gas still permeating the air and the toxic lava covering the ground, and it was no wonder that Burning Emperor was poisoned.

Sure enough, it was hit.

In the stands, the crowd and their pets fell silent for a moment, then began to chatter, all marveling at the Nightmare Serpent’s powerful poison.

Everyone had initially thought Burning Emperor had won, but at the last moment, it succumbed to poison and collapsed. Serana was indeed the same Serana, experienced in combat, subtly eliminating one of Josang’s main forces.

“Burning Emperor has fallen from the sky!” Nefertis exclaimed from the commentary booth.

Auror remarked, “It seems Burning Emperor has indeed inhaled the mixed poison gas used by the Nightmare Serpent.”

“Heart.”

Zhi’ai let out a heart-shaped cry, indicating that when Fen Di Duo struck the Nightmare Serpent, the surrounding poisonous lava also splashed onto it.

“That’s right,” Nefertis analyzed, “Not only that, but before Fen Di Duo fell, its body flashed with a purple light, a sign of being affected by the Unlucky ability. The Unlucky ability, without a doubt, increased the probability of Fen Di Duo being poisoned.” On

the high platform, Qiao Sang clenched her fists.

When facing the Nightmare Serpent, she knew that Ya Bao would inevitably be affected by the Unlucky ability and poisoned, because attacking the Nightmare Serpent was unavoidable; at most, she could try to inhale less poison.

As long as the Nightmare Serpent fell and Ya Bao was still standing, she would recall Ya Bao to the Beast Taming Book to recover.

Although she had promised Ya Bao that when facing Serana or Lefebvre, it would fight to the very end, to win against poison-type pets that could cause continuous damage, it needed to recover in the Beast Taming Book after each battle to better prepare for the subsequent matches.

She had discussed this with Ya Bao, and after being assured that Ya Bao would definitely fight again, it agreed.

As long as Ya Bao could stand up…

as long as it could stand up…

Qiao Sang stared intently at the figure in the black lava, its entire body now a deep purple-black.

“Xia Xia…”

Inside the VIP room, Xia Lala stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, a worried expression on her face.

On the field, the pet wearing the referee’s badge, after examining the Nightmare Serpent, came to Ya Bao’s side.

Just then, Ya Bao moved, slowly standing up, its eyes resolute.

“Fen Di Duo has stood up!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed with delight.

The entire arena erupted in cheers and screams.

“Fen Di Duo! Fen Di Duo!”

Ya Bao… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up.

“Ya Ya…” Ya Bao struggled to steady itself, not wanting to fall.

It remembered the rules of the match; even if it fell after its opponent, it was still…

also…

also what?

Ya Bao looked confused.

It couldn’t quite remember…

Never mind, it couldn’t fall; it had only played one round!

The pet wearing the referee’s badge observed it for a while, then picked up the green flag and waved it in the direction of Josang and Ya Bao.

A virtual screen appeared out of thin air, and below Serana’s photo, the image of the Nightmare Serpent changed from color to black and white.

“The result of this match is in! Josang has taken the first point, bringing the score to 0-1!” Aurore shouted into the microphone from the commentary booth.

The entire arena cheered and screamed.

“Josang! Josang!”

“Fen Diduo! Fen Diduo!”

Amidst the frantic screams, some more rational voices rang out:

“Although Fen Diduo won this round, it probably won’t be able to play the next one in its condition.” “

It’s inhaled all those poisonous gases—corrosion, nerve, pressure, memory—it probably won’t even know which command Josang will

give next.” “It definitely won’t be able to remember any short commands or coded commands for a while.”

“If Fen Diduo can’t play, Serana will take back this point sooner or later.”

“Why aren’t you all optimistic? Doesn’t Fen Diduo still have the Blaze ability?”

“The Unlucky ability of the Nightmare Serpent has already been activated, and Fen Diduo is affected. It’s hard to say whether the Blaze ability can still be activated.” “

That’s right, the Unlucky ability of the Nightmare Serpent is notoriously difficult to deal with. Serana’s previous opponents said that the Unlucky ability of the Nightmare Serpent is S-rank, and it will continuously bring bad luck to the opponent who hits it.”

On the field, Josang raised his hand, just about to recall Fangbao to the Beastmaster’s Tome.

However, at that moment, terrifying golden flames suddenly erupted from Ya Bao’s body.

“The Fiery Blaze of the Burning Emperor has appeared!” Aurore shouted from the commentary booth.

The audience fell silent for a moment, then erupted into an even louder uproar, especially from Qiao Sang’s fans, who were overjoyed.

In their eyes, the Burning Emperor was practically incapacitated, but now that the Fiery Blaze had been unleashed, the situation was different.

Fiery Blaze… Qiao Sang’s heart sank. He lowered his hand, changing his mind.

Once the Fiery Blaze trait was activated, it couldn’t be activated again within a day. If he recalled Ya Bao to the Beast Taming Manual, and it recovered somewhat before returning to battle, it wouldn’t be able to activate the Fiery Blaze again.

To maximize Ya Bao’s combat power, he had to let Ya Bao directly participate in the next battle…

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Ya Bao showed a pained expression, and the purple light around its body flickered once more.

The next second, the golden flames around it noticeably weakened.

“Ya Ya…”

No, this is only the first match, only the first match… It wants to play again, it wants to play again!

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao roared to the sky, and golden flames suddenly exploded around its body, the heat wave sweeping across most of the arena!

The golden fire shadows flickered, and in the burning flames, Ya Bao’s figure was illuminated with unparalleled holiness, even its eyes were dyed gold, like the incarnation of the sun.

In places unseen by anyone, the purple curse power within its body disappeared instantly when the golden flames erupted.

Many spectators were amazed by this scene and took out their phones to take pictures.

At the same time, Qiao Sang seemed to sense something, her heart stirred slightly, and she called out:

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao, like the incarnation of the sun, nodded to its Beastmaster.

The effect of the bad luck trait is really gone?! Qiao Sang was overjoyed.

Blazing Fire… On the other side, Serana was disappointed for 0.01 seconds.

She thought that with the bad luck trait of the Nightmare Serpent, the Blazing Fire of the Burning Emperor would not be able to be activated.

However, Serana’s disappointment quickly vanished.

Activating the Blazing Fire ability wasn’t a big deal; waiting for the change of arena and the referee’s countdown would waste a lot of time. By the time the match officially started, the Blazing Fire ability of the Burning Emperor wouldn’t last long.

Serana thought to herself as she waved her hand, recalling the Nightmare Serpent into her Beast Taming Manual.

The arena change was complete.

A pet wearing a referee’s badge entered the arena and blew the whistle.

The number “10” appeared on the field, changing continuously with a mechanical sound.

“9, 8, 7, 3, 2, 1.”

The light and shadow disappeared. (End of Chapter)
