Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 718: The Araknis King and Aurorima

Just as Qiao Sang finished speaking, Gangbao crossed her wings and pulled out a feather from each side.

The moment the feathers were plucked, they glowed with a purple light.

Immediately after, Gangbao seemed to turn into a streak of violet light and shot forward.

The sharp feather blades sliced purple arcs through the air, effortlessly tearing through the web of threads blocking the way.

“Endure it!”

With Gangbao’s movements, cries of pain erupted from the Stealth-Hunter Spiders as they dropped from the sky.

“Lubao, you go too.” Qiao Sang signaled to Lubao with her eyes.

Lubao hadn’t yet accumulated enough points to evolve into a General-grade beast. If she could take out this swarm of Stealth Hunter Spiders, her points would definitely soar.

“Lu…”

Looking at the small pet beasts falling from the sky, Lubao couldn’t help but let her thoughts drift.

My beast master called on me instead of Little Treasure… does that mean she thinks I can only handle low-level pet beasts…

Even while thinking that, Lubao sprang into action.

She tilted her head up and opened her mouth.

Suddenly, the weather changed dramatically.

Boom boom boom!

Huge chunks of semi-transparent hail materialized and rained down like a storm of bullets, hammering the Stealth Hunter Spiders fiercely.

Having trained in moving through hail under Lubao’s control, Gangbao ignored the falling ice as she continued dashing about and attacking the spiders at high speed.

This one-sided assault lasted for a full three minutes before both Gangbao and the hail ceased.

Looking around now, the ground was littered with unconscious Stealth Hunter Spiders.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang couldn’t wait to open the Beast Codex to see how many points Gangbao and Lubao had gained.

But at that moment, the sky suddenly darkened as if something massive had blocked out the sun.

Qiao Sang looked up.

A massive beast, so large it was hard to estimate its full size, each of its legs was over three meters long, descended from the sky!

Whooosh! frёewebnoѵēl.com

A powerful gust of wind followed, causing the trees around them to shake violently.

The Araknis King, a dual-type Bug and Poison King-level pet beast… Qiao Sang looked at its magenta-and-black body, its yellow pupils, the circular purple markings on its body, and the stiff hairs covering its eight legs.

As it loomed over her, the relevant data rushed into her mind. She didn’t even dare to breathe, her body tense, her own frantic heartbeat thundering in her ears.

Panic flooded Qiao Sang’s heart.

A King-level pet beast was bad enough.

But the real problem was… the Araknis King was the King evolution of the Stealth Hunter Spider…

This one must be their ancestor… Qiao Sang glanced nervously at the scattered unconscious spiders. Guilt consumed her.

But it wasn’t entirely her fault, anyone would be tempted when they saw walking points.

Besides, in that situation, if she hadn’t acted first, the Stealth Hunter Spiders clearly would have. She’d just preempted them… As she thought this, she gave Little Treasure a look.

Little Treasure understood her intention immediately.

Regretfully, he stopped the motion of pulling out the ring to grab the pet beast identifier.

“Xun xun~”

His eyes glowed blue.

In the next instant, Qiao Sang and her beasts disappeared from where they stood.

The Araknis King simply watched without moving.

A second later, Qiao Sang and her team fell from the sky.

“Gang Guard!”

Gangbao reacted swiftly, spreading her wings to catch her tamer midair.

“Xun xun!”

Little Treasure's eyes glowed blue again, halting Lubao mid-fall.

Thud!

Only Yabao crashed heavily to the ground.

“Yap…”

Yabao finally woke up. He opened his eyes, confused by the unfamiliar surroundings.

The spatial shift had failed… Qiao Sang looked up in shock.

Soon, she noticed a thin, invisible membrane surrounding the area above, rippling slightly from the impact, barely perceptible.

She wasn’t unfamiliar with this.

Spatial Lockdown…

Why was there a spatial lockdown here?

Little Treasure had clearly teleported them here without issue earlier.

That meant the lockdown appeared afterward.

But that shouldn’t be possible, spatial lockdown is a high-level Psychic skill, and there were no wild Psychic-type beasts here…

While Qiao Sang's thoughts raced...

A pet beast floated out from behind the Araknis King. It was about a meter tall, mostly white, with intricate black markings on its forehead, a long, large head, and green eyes.

Aurorima, a General-grade Psychic-type pet beast… Qiao Sang stared at it in shock as realization dawned.

So it was Aurorima that cast the spatial lockdown!

God, where had Little Treasure teleported her to? There’s the Araknis King and Aurorima…

Wait! Why did Aurorima cast a spatial lockdown?

Qiao Sang sensed something was wrong, her mind spinning.

She was sure Aurorima hadn’t been present when Lubao and Gangbao attacked the spiders, it had come with the Araknis King.

Because the Araknis King had such a powerful presence, she hadn’t noticed Aurorima earlier.

But if Aurorima hadn’t been here from the start and hadn’t seen her and Little Treasure arrive, why would it cast a spatial lockdown?

Was it a habit? Does it always seal the area before a battle to prevent escapes?

And why hadn’t the Araknis King or Aurorima attacked yet… Qiao Sang stayed on high alert, feeling like something more complicated was going on than just avenging the fallen spiders.

“Chao chao!”

Aurorima suddenly cried out, releasing a pulse of invisible sound.

Shalu!

By a waterfall, a Sand Land Dragon looked up from drinking water, its face lighting up with excitement.

---

At the same time.

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure's nudged his tamer’s arm and translated in a low voice, adding his own thoughts.

That creature said his target is already here, it seems someone is looking for us.

Someone… is looking for us? Qiao Sang froze, a surge of urgency to leave filling her.

She didn’t know who was coming, but dealing with an Araknis King and Aurorima was already too much. If more powerful pet beasts appeared, she’d be doomed!

Right now, the most important thing was breaking the barrier… Once it’s down, Little Treasure could get them all out safely… Qiao Sang looked at Yabao, now fully awake and glaring at the Araknis King, and quickly said:

“Yabao, Meteor Rain!”

“Yap!”

Yabao, already itching to fight, immediately raised his head, opened his mouth, and gathered energy.

Soon, a red energy ball filled with terrifying power shot rapidly upward from his mouth.

Huhu.

When the red energy ball rose to eye level with the Araknis King, it finally made its first move since appearing.

Its mouth opened slightly, shooting out a half-meter-thick thread of white silk that wrapped around the red energy ball with incredible speed and accuracy.

Then, with a tug-

Boom!

A muffled explosion erupted inside the silk bundle.

The red energy ball had been neutralized.

“Yap…”

Yabao stood frozen, unable to believe his ultimate move had been so easily countered.

So this… is the power of a King-level beast… Qiao Sang’s heart sank like a stone.
