At the Cultivation Base, on the Celestial Terrace of Building One, the four of them stared toward the site of the explosion, their brows furrowing involuntarily.
This explosion was clearly no ordinary accident.
"AWOOO~!" Just as the four were gazing into the distance, a wolf’s howl suddenly carried over from the site of the explosion.
"Ah Lang?" The howl instantly caught Li Qian’s attention. Listening to the rather familiar sound, he spoke with so uncertainty.
Upon hearing Li Qian, Li Chengyang and Han Yuqing both shot him questioning looks.
Li Qian didn’t keep them in suspense and explained directly, "Ah Lang is Teacher Chu Xiran’s Pet Beast, a Snowfield Wolf. That howl just now sounded a bit like Ah Lang’s."
As a cultivation teacher at Beast Taming High School, Chu Xiran had once shown her Snowfield Wolf. Li Qian had heard its howl before; the sound was very distinctive, so his mory of it was quite vivid.
"Don’t all wolves sound pretty much the sa? Are you sure it’s Teacher Chu Xiran’s Snowfield Wolf?" Li Chengyang glanced at the explosion site, his eyes filled with deep suspicion.
Elder Tie also looked toward the explosion and chid in at the right mont, "It is indeed the howl of a Snowfield Wolf."
With his power and experience, identifying the howl of a Snowfield Wolf was not difficult at all.
"It must be Teacher Chu Xiran’s Ah Lang." Li Qian’s brow furrowed. After a mont of thought, he spoke again, his tone now more certain.
With that, he didn’t hesitate at all and made a decision. "I have to go take a look."
From the sounds of the howl and the explosion, all four of them could tell that the situation at the scene was likely not good.
If that howl really ca from Teacher Chu Xiran’s Snowfield Wolf, then she was very likely in so kind of danger right now.
Now that he had recognized Ah Lang’s howl, Li Qian naturally couldn’t just stand by and watch.
"We’ll go with you." Upon hearing this, Li Chengyang didn’t try to stop him. Instead, he spoke decisively, ready to follow.
Li Qian looked at his father, wanting to say sothing but holding back. In the end, he just nodded.
’Just a mont ago I was the one telling them not to leave the Cultivation Base without good reason, and now I’m the one leading the charge to break that rule. I really don’t have a leg to stand on.’
’Of course, the main reason is that with Elder Tie here, our safety shouldn’t be an issue.’
Having made their decision, the group no longer hesitated. They imdiately sprang into action.
The four of them got in a vehicle and sped toward the scene.
The incident was located about five kiloters from the Cultivation Base.
It was also near the South Suburb, right next to a private Pet Beast club.
When Li Qian and the other three arrived, two sides were locked in a fierce battle.
Moreover, it was obvious that one side was not faring well and had been forced onto the defensive.
"Teacher Chu!" Li Qian couldn’t help but cry out once he got a clear look at the two sides fighting.
Yes, one of the warring parties was indeed Teacher Chu Xiran.
Fighting alongside Teacher Chu Xiran were Teacher Zhu Bingqing and Niu Fenjin.
Li Qian only needed a single glance to see that they were in terrible shape.
Especially Niu Fenjin.
He was covered in blood, clearly having sustained serious injuries.
In front of him, only a single Pet Beast, a Golden Armor Beetle, was still struggling to hold on.
The Golden Armor Beetle was also covered in wounds.
It looked like it wouldn’t be able to last much longer either.
And on the other side, their opponents, were ten robots of various designs.
Their firepower was intense, suppressing the three of them to the point where they could barely catch their breath.
"Teacher Chu, Teacher Zhu, Brother Niu, don’t worry, we’re here to help!" After a quick assessnt, Li Qian didn’t hesitate, imdiately summoning Qizai and Xiaoliu.
"Qizai, use Gale Slash! Xiaoliu, use Fla Spray!"
The fire, fanned by the wind, instantly roared to life, sending a massive wave of flas surging toward the ten robots.
On the other side, Chu Xiran and the other two all let out a long sigh of relief when they saw Li Qian’s group appear.
At the sa ti, right after Li Qian launched the first attack, Li Chengyang and Han Yuqing also summoned their Pet Beasts one after another and unleashed their Skills.
"Gray Bean Dove, use Wind Blade!"
"Ah Fu, use Gale Slash!"
"Land Bear, use Earth Split!"
With the addition of Li Qian’s group of three people and their five Pet Beasts—especially the two Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons and one Frostfire Salamander, all Pet Beasts with Dominator Level Potential—their strength was not to be underestimated, even if their Levels weren’t high yet.
Under the bombardnt of Skills from the five Pet Beasts, the tide of battle imdiately turned. The pressure on Chu Xiran’s group, who had been at a disadvantage and in a precarious situation, was suddenly greatly reduced.
"Ah Lang, Vine Vine, Xiaohui, we’re attacking too!" With a sharp look in her eyes, Chu Xiran commanded her three Pet Beasts—a Snowfield Wolf, a Hundred Vines Monster, and an Electric Rat—to launch a counteroffensive.
"Strong Crocodile, Shadow Mink, Pink Light Butterfly, show these robots what we’re made of!" Not to be outdone, Zhu Bingqing, who had been suppressed the whole ti, was fuming. She unsparingly unleashed her Pet Beasts’ Energy, flinging Skills as if they were free.
As she attacked, she didn’t forget to shout an order to the other, heavily wounded Pet Beast, "Golden Armor Beetle, protect your master!"
The Golden Armor Beetle didn’t charge forward rashly. It heeded Zhu Bingqing’s command, raising its two scythe-like forelimbs and warily watching the surrounding enemies to ensure Niu Fenjin’s safety.
With the addition of Li Qian’s group, even though Elder Tie hadn’t made a move and was only observing, the situation began to shift irreversibly.
And the reason Elder Tie hadn’t acted wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but because Li Qian had specifically told him not to intervene just yet.
’A trump card is most effective when it’s unexpected.’
’These robots, while all possessing Commander Level strength, had only barely reached that tier,’ Li Qian observed.
’If not for their sheer numbers, that strange ability, and the fact that they were weighed down by Niu Fenjin, even Chu Xiran and Zhu Bingqing could have dealt with them after paying a certain price.’
So, after Li Qian and his group joined the fight, the situation quickly beca one-sided.
Qizai and Xiaoliu had perfect synergy. Working together, they used a combination Skill to be the first to take down a robot.
Imdiately after, he rushed to support his father, Li Chengyang, and his mother, Han Yuqing, and together they finished off a second robot.
With that, only eight of the ten robots remained. Under the focused assault of Li Qian’s group and their five Pet Beasts, those eight wouldn’t last much longer either.
This guess proved to be correct. Less than ten minutes after Li Qian’s group joined in, all ten robots had been beaten and rendered combat-ineffective.
Just as Li Qian thought they could wrap things up, Niu Fenjin suddenly cried out a warning, "Watch out! They can combine!"
The mont his voice fell, the situation took a sudden turn. chanical Octopuses began to erge from the bodies of the robots.
All the chanical Octopuses converged, flowing together like rivers into the sea, showing signs of fusing into a single entity.
Seeing this, Li Qian instinctively sensed that sothing was wrong. But before he could act to stop it, a thick bolt of lightning struck, accompanied by Elder Tie’s voice, "Wind Thunder Lion, Furious Thunder Rampage!"
BOOM!
The thick, bluish-purple lightning bolt slamd into the converging chanical Octopuses, causing a violent explosion.
Then, they saw the chanical Octopuses, which had already begun to form a new silhouette, instantly blown to smithereens, utterly obliterated!
Niu Fenjin’s eyes went wide as he stared at the scene, letting out a cry of disbelief. "One move... and it’s over?!"
