Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy-Chapter 566 - 558: Dragging Out All Its Ancestors!
The nearby Ye Shi Yao, who was eavesdropping, couldn’t help but flash his eyes.
Just as he was about to exchange glances with Nangong Zhang, he turned his head to see Tang Yunde, He Yao Bai, Yan Wuji, Shangguan Qing, and others all tilting their heads, ears stiffly facing Su Xingchen and Wei Bisheng, seemingly preparing for battle diligently but actually eavesdropping.
Ye Shi Yao: ...
This group talks about not relying on Qian Qi, but secretly, they’re still hoping for her!
"Su Xingchen, hiding her doesn’t really mean anything. Whether she has the ability to solve this war or not, she should step forward and try to figure out a solution."
Nangong Zhang said blandly, "Even if she can solve one of them, it would ease a lot of our pressure."
"Yes, yes." Ye Shi Yao agreed immediately, "Didn’t she handle the Gilded Black Tiger Beast in the Western Region quite successfully?"
"That was before, the Black Tiger Beast was only temporarily trapped in the Western Mountain Area by her. Now, all three other parties have S-Class magical beasts appearing, and the Black Tiger Beast is starting to stir." Su Xingchen sharply looked at Ye Shi Yao and Nangong Zhang, "She can’t even kill the Black Tiger Beast, how can she talk about killing other S-Class magical beasts?"
"I advise you, it’s better not to rely on Qian Qi."
Nangong Zhang frowned slightly.
According to Su Xingchen’s temperament, if Qian Qi could help, he would certainly spare no effort in exploiting Qian Qi’s value, just as he did with his own son Su Ang, to achieve peace and stability in Central State.
Now adamantly opposing Qian Qi’s involvement, could it really be as he said, that Qian Qi’s ability is only short of higher value?
After pondering for a moment, Nangong Zhang chose to trust Su Xingchen.
After all, he had only known Qian Qi for a year, while he had known Su Xingchen for decades, and was already quite familiar with him.
"Since that’s the case, we should rely on ourselves then." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Nangong Zhang spoke.
Ye Shi Yao could only give up, Wei Bisheng glanced at Nangong Zhang and said nothing more, turned around and began arranging for Awakeners to disperse residents in various cities.
Yan Wuji lowered his head, looking at the message from the Elder Council of the Beast Taming Association on the Light Brain, silently got up and left the meeting room.
Su Xingchen raised his head and glanced, then quietly withdrew his gaze and continued to follow up on the beast tide situation in each region.
...
Inside the instance, Qian Qi crouched behind a stone, staring at the magical beast at the bottom of the distant hill.
This is the demon beast boss of the trial instance, but this time, she didn’t intend to go on stage personally but instead handed over the task of tackling the instance to the students of Awakener University.
After so many days of trial training, it’s time to try the real stuff!
Qian Qi waved her hand forward and said to the team behind her, "Go! Take it down!"
Three five-person teams responded, riding Flame Dogs and rushing toward the boss.
The instance boss was an A-Level Golden-Horned Sheep Beast, with a body size quite similar to that of the evolved Flame Dogs. Its sharp golden horns were not only formidable in defense but also menacing in its charge, directly sending a B-Level Flame Dog flying, along with the student on its back who was also thrown out.
The other two Flame Dogs attacked from the sides, the two students on them released A-Level Metal Spikes, precisely aiming at the eyes of the Golden-Horned Sheep Beast.
The Golden-Horned Sheep Beast jumped up, reaching a height of several meters, directly dodging the Metal Spikes, and those two students did not just release two spikes, but continuously shot at it, the unhit spikes all fell to the ground, trembling slightly without them noticing.
Qian Qi stood up from behind the stone, climbed onto the stone, and sat cross-legged, chewing on grass roots pulled from the roadside, watching the battle with binoculars.
These students, caught up in the battle, would inevitably overlook details due to tension and excitement. Just as everyone was experiencing 20 minutes of combat adaptation, successfully surrounding the Golden-Horned Sheep Beast preparing for a fatal blow, the Metal Spikes planted in the ground behind them suddenly flew up, turning into a rain of spikes shooting at their backs!
Qian Qi promptly spat out the grass from her mouth, about to signal Su Ang to help, when she saw a student from the Command Department suddenly turn around, waving their hands to erect a giant transparent Spiritual Shield behind the crowd.
Soon after, two other students from the Command Department received the signal and also immediately turned around to release their Spiritual Shields, resisting the destructive force of the spikes.
"This Golden-Horned Sheep Beast can directly manipulate our Metal Spikes!" exclaimed the first student to react, "Everyone, be careful not to get ambushed!"
In the blink of an eye, the Golden-Horned Sheep Beast had already escaped the encirclement, raising its head as a colossal metallic sphere coalesced atop it, smashing towards the crowd.
"Watch out, evade!"
The nearest commanding squad leader shouted, dodging past the metal sphere which, seemingly conscious, braked suddenly before changing direction, rolling towards him!
"Damn it!"
"Damn!"
The commanding squad leader and Qian Qi simultaneously uttered vulgar exclamations, one in surprise and speechlessness, the other in excitement and thrill.
Seeing the other dozen or so people rushing towards the head of the Golden-Horned Sheep Beast preparing to land a headshot, Qian Qi stood abruptly on the rock, raising a loudspeaker with her Ere Kang hand extended, "Don’t kill it!!!"
The harsh sound of the loudspeaker made several students pause momentarily, instinctively withholding their force, resulting in the Golden-Horned Sheep Beast not being headshot, but nonetheless being pounded into dizziness and confusion by various elemental attacks, stumbling to the ground.
"Meh Yee-yah-yah—"
The Golden-Horned Sheep Beast’s horizontal pupils glared at these students powerlessly, its expression quite furious.
It was just eating grass here, not planning to eat people, why provoke it!
Qian Qi packed up the binoculars and loudspeaker, hurriedly running over, immediately hugging the Golden-Horned Sheep Beast’s neck, crying out, "Lamb, my lamb, I am the contractor of your big uncle’s second aunt’s daughter’s ex-boyfriend’s neighbor’s sheep! Does it hurt! Don’t die, I’m here to save you!"
Golden-Horned Sheep Beast: ?
Golden-Horned Sheep Beast: Who?
Before the Golden-Horned Sheep Beast could comprehend who its big uncle’s second aunt’s daughter’s ex-boyfriend’s neighbor’s sheep was, Qian Qi stuffed it with mouthfuls of Magic Plants with indescribable taste.
Though unappetizing, remarkably, the sheep’s head no longer hurt, but it lacked the energy to escape.
To be precise, its legs still had the strength to kick around, but its injured head wouldn’t permit it to stand up.
"Don’t be afraid! I’m here to protect you!" Qian Qi hugged its sheep’s neck tightly, whispering heartfelt comforts, "With me here, they wouldn’t dare kill you, at most they’ll cut some flesh off you, roast it for dinner."
Golden-Horned Sheep Beast: ...
So I’d rather they kill me directly! And can you let go of me first! I’m about to be strangled to death by you!
Qian Qi continued tightening her arms, muttering, "You’re probably thinking, I’d rather just die. Let me send you to death then, also as the last effort from the contractor of your big uncle’s second aunt’s daughter’s ex-boyfriend’s neighbor’s sheep—"
So who the heck is my big uncle’s second aunt, blah blah, and if you plan to kill me, why did you stop these humans from doing so earlier!
Finding too many points to ridicule, the Golden-Horned Sheep Beast was at a loss as to which to address first, it began to struggle violently in Qian Qi’s embrace, soon feeling dizzy, eyes rolling up, experiencing a drunken-like floaty sensation.
In its clouded consciousness, it heard Qian Qi’s voice airy like clouds speaking to a young metal-element human, "I strangled it until its mind is unclear, quickly let it release the Contract Pattern to contract it! Once the Full Anesthesia Magic Plant takes effect, ask for the whereabouts of other Golden-Horned Sheep Beasts!"
What...?!
The Golden-Horned Sheep Beast barely managed to roll down its pupils and saw Qian Qi’s beautiful serene face wrinkling at an extremely weird speed, her smile both fierce and sinister, "A contracted beast that can freely control others’ metals for its own use, hehehehe, truly a rare beast! Mustn’t let it go! Let’s dig out all its ancestors eighteen generations!"
The Golden-Horned Sheep Beast almost got scared to death by her.
