Free Web NovelThe initial stage of the Frost Archer is called Ice Bullet Bow, and it is the preferred pet for many new Beast Tamers in the Snow Region. At least seven out of ten newly awakened Beast Tamers will choose to contract an Ice Bullet Bow.
Liu Yancheng is from Ice Whisper City, likely under 30 years old, so it's relatively normal for him to have cultivated an Ice Bullet Bow to a General-level Frost Archer.
Judging by the Frost Archer's appearance, it should be close to its limit.
However, Liu Yancheng's other pet surprised her a bit.
The Flame Howl, an Advanced Level fire-attribute Transcendent creature, had red fur that danced wildly like flames, and snowflakes evaporated into steam before even reaching it.
Fire-attribute pets are typically volatile, and the Flame Howl is a prime example, known for its terrible temper. It ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) views water and ice-attribute pets as natural enemies, so as soon as it appeared, it bared its fangs at the Frost Archer beside it, looking vicious and ready to pounce and tear at any moment.
She wondered what Liu Yancheng was thinking, to actually contract two natural enemies as pets.
“What are you howling about? Put away your fangs and behave!”
Liu Yancheng slapped the back of the Flame Howl's head without mercy, immediately suppressing the agitated Flame Howl.
Next, Xia Dasheng and Zhou Ying also summoned their pets. Xia Dasheng was the only Beast Tamer among the three who had three pets.
Aside from his Telepathic Spirit, his first pet was also a Frost Archer, and standing next to Liu Yancheng's Frost Archer, they looked like copy-pasted versions of each other. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Even twins weren't as well-matched as them.
His last pet was a Tandi Dragon, an Advanced Level dual-type Dragon and Ground pet.
Zhou Ying's pets were the most unique; both were Advanced Level Fairy-type pets: a Sunny Doll that could sense weather changes and a Snow Child that could unleash a Blizzard.
The trio's setup—with a tank, damage dealer, and support—was quite good.
“How about it? Little sister, do you want to reconsider joining us? Hahaha...”
Xia Dasheng winked at Mingxi as if showing off.
Mingxi smiled and shook her head, “No, no, I won't drag you guys down.”
She thought for a moment and began to form hand seals. An orange Pet Space materialized in the center of the four of them.
Lan Yue stepped out of the space elegantly, her steps light upon the cool, snowy ground.
Xia Dasheng nudged her, “Little sister, you're not actually a little sister, are you? Are you perhaps an elder sister?”
Because the temperature was too low, even though the car's interior was temperate, Mingxi had kept her thick face mask on, only revealing a pair of clear, bright eyes.
So, Xia Dasheng and the others hadn't actually seen her face clearly.
They had only judged her age to be not very old based on her voice and figure, but now, seeing her orange Pet Space, they couldn't help but start to suspect.
A Beast Tamer who had already awakened three Soul Keys—aside from Xia Dasheng, the other two were not as capable as her.
“Hahaha, if you want to call me big sister, that's fine too, I don't mind.”
“Then let's not.”
The three shook their heads in unison, deciding that they shouldn't take advantage of her, as they had somewhat realized that this 'little sister' was probably of no small origin.
However, they were all very discreet and did not deliberately inquire.
Xia Dasheng looked at the Ice Soul Lynx that Mingxi had already picked up and held in her arms.
“Little sister, is your pet a mutated Ice Soul Lynx? I must say, its fur and bell are much prettier than a normal Ice Soul Lynx.”
“Tsk!”
No sooner had Xia Dasheng finished speaking than an abrupt scoff came from not far away.
“Qiaoqiao, Lianxi, haven't you never seen a foolish Beast Tamer who contracts a mixed-breed Transcendent creature? Well, look! There's one right there.”
Mingxi: “...”
Where did this mad dog come from, biting people indiscriminately?
She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the speaker.
Within her line of sight stood four people, appearing to be two males and two females based on their figures. The speaker was a young man.
Only his mask was pulled down; he only wore goggles, and the breath constantly exhaled from his nose turned into white smoke in the air, like a boiling kettle.
Each of the four had a pet standing beside them.
The most striking was a bear-type pet with snow-white fur.
It wore a pet shrinking bracelet on its wrist, and its body was currently only half a person tall.
A sharp, conical protrusion grew on its left shoulder, somewhat resembling a pangolin's drill, with layers of fine lines covering the cone; its right shoulder was even stranger, with a pitch-black evil spirit mask hanging at the shoulder position.
This was a pet completely unfamiliar to Mingxi.
But judging from the faint aura it exuded, the strength of this pet would definitely not be lower than Shi-level.
In comparison, the remaining three were quite unremarkable.
A White Feathered Eagle, an Ice Power Turtle, and a Snow Angel, all Advanced Level ice-attribute pets.
Mingxi guessed that these four were either elders bringing younger relatives, or school teachers bringing students for training.
“Little sister, don't be impulsive.”
Before Mingxi could make any move, Xia Dasheng had already pressed her shoulder, whispering, “Do you see the lapel pins on those four people's collars? That's the exclusive emblem of Bei Yi Vocational High School, the Yi Xu Flower lapel pin, so these four should be from Bei Yi Vocational High School.”
Mingxi was surprised.
Bei Yi Vocational High School?
She had just talked about Bei Yi Vocational High School with Fu Yifan yesterday, and today she actually ran into people from Bei Yi Vocational High School?
What kind of cursed fate was this?
“The team leader's pet is a Ghost Face Vicious Bear. Its strength is terrifying. All of our pets combined might not even withstand one of its skills.”
Ghost Face Vicious Bear, she hadn't heard of it.
It seemed she still wasn't studying hard enough.
Without thinking, Mingxi pulled out her already upgraded Pet Identifier from her pocket and forcefully scanned in the direction of the white bear.
The domineering Pet Identifier operated for two seconds, then emitted its unique sound.
“Ghost Face Vicious Bear, a King-level Demon and Combat dual-type Transcendent creature, with a violent temperament, a Star Beast that feels uncomfortable if it doesn't fight for a day. It possesses the innate characteristics of Berserk and Hot Blood. Its initial stage is the Ghost Face Bear. The fine lines on its left shoulder's sharp cone represent its age, while the color and expression of the ghost face on its right shoulder respectively represent its current energy level and emotions. The more ferocious and distorted the ghost face's expression, the stronger its combat power. The Ghost Face Bear clan is very difficult to contract, with a contract failure rate as high as 99.99%. However, once successfully contracted, the Tacit Understanding with the Beast Tamer will be very high, which is why some Beast Tamers use unsavory methods to forcibly complete the contract with a Ghost Face Bear. Don't ask what unsavory methods, they're all quite dirty. Finally, a warm reminder: if you encounter a Beast Tamer who has contracted a Ghost Face Bear, it's better to keep your distance.”
The reminder was great, don't remind me next time.
Mingxi rolled her eyes. Why did she feel like this Pet Identifier was even more mischievous after upgrading?
As soon as the Pet Identifier sounded, Mingxi already felt a piercing gaze. That feeling of being watched was so real, she couldn't ignore it.
“Why are you so rude, woman? Who gave you permission to use a Pet Identifier to scan my teacher's pet?”
