Chapter 008 Chapter 8
Plop, plop!
Xia Muqing's heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of her chest.
What should we do? Where is the breakthrough point?
She tried to communicate with the Swift Dog through telepathy, but the man in black reacted faster. He stuck to her back and said sinisterly, "Put your mysterious beast away. Don't let me see it activate any skills, or I'll shoot immediately!"
Xia Muqing: "..."
She had no choice but to put the little hurricane dog away, raise her hands and slowly back away as the man requested.
One step, two steps... I left the bus stop and got closer and closer to the dark alley.
Beads of sweat oozed from Xia Muqing's forehead. She clenched her teeth tightly, and her face became paler and paler.
What should I do? Is there any other solution?
The only one who can defeat the man is the little Gale Dog, but the Gale Dog cannot leave the Mystical Beast Space at the moment, and the activation of other skills also has more or less precursors.
Unless he could make the man lose consciousness in an instant - that was the 'deterrence' skill that the little hurricane dog could never learn!
Xia Muqing was calling out to the Gale Dog frantically in her heart.
In the mysterious beast space, Xiaofeng was also very anxious.
Its danger perception was at its peak, and it knew how dire its beastmaster's situation was. Deterrence, it needed deterrence, deterrence, deterrence—
Ahhhhhh!
“Ouch!!”
The little hurricane dog's eyes gradually turned red.
Its hair stood up all over its body, its skin was bright red, like bleeding, and the blood color slowly spread along the roots of the hair and seeped into the surface of its skin.
Deterrence, deterrence!
It cannot live without Xia Muqing. It is the weakest and most useless hurricane dog. It was Xia Muqing who gave it the confidence to survive and always encouraged and cultivated it.
It wants to save its owner!
“Ouch!!!”
Telepathy came, and Xia Muqing's mind moved slightly.
In an instant, the little hurricane dog appeared in mid-air. Its body was stained with blood, and its eyes were bloodshot and red, with a gleam of light in them.
Everything about Professor Striped Eagle flashed through its mind. The strong desire to save its master condensed into a storm in its heart, carrying with it the long-standing resentment and anger, pouring out!
Deterrence, launch!
Invisible mental waves spread and hit the black-clothed man's brain in an instant. His head buzzed and his vision went black in an instant.
Xia Muqing took the opportunity to break free, turned around and kicked the gun out of the man's hand!
"Xiaofeng, well done!"
“Ouch!”
After catching the little hurricane dog, Xia Muqing shouted "Help" and ran away.
Subdue a man? Impossible. She knew her own strength.
The threat only held the man back for a few seconds, and now the little hurricane dog was bleeding, clearly having exhausted all its strength in order to intimidate him. She only had this one profound beast, and the man's profound beast hadn't even appeared yet.
Facts proved that Xia Muqing's choice was correct. As soon as she rushed out of the alley, the man behind her had woken up and was chasing after her, cursing angrily.
The alley was dimly lit and he didn't know where the gun had flown to, so he didn't try to pick it up.
Instead, he summoned a mysterious beast: "Electric Fox!"
A fox wrapped in purple lightning suddenly appeared. Xia Muqing's heart tightened immediately. She watched as the fox opened its mouth, and an arc-shaped lightning flashed with lightning condensed in its mouth.
“Ouch!!”
The little hurricane dog raised its head, its eyes wide open!
Another deterrent!
The electric fox's ability was interrupted, and the man in black paused for a moment. Xia Muqing took the opportunity to rush to the bus stop. At that moment, she saw several people in uniform rushing towards them.
The security department has finally arrived!
…
The man in black who had made Xia Muqing hover between life and death for several rounds was quickly defeated by the fully armed police officers.
He was handcuffed and forced into a police car, and Electric Fox was subdued and put on a suppressor.
The weak Xia Muqing was also invited to the safe place. The staff poured her a cup of hot tea, comforted her in a gentle voice, and asked her some questions about the man in black.
Xia Muqing told the truth and then asked, "Where is my Swift Dog? How is it?"
"Don't worry, we've already seen it," the staff member said. "It's fine, just a little weak..."
At this point, the staff member's voice gradually became quieter.
It's mainly her fault. She feels a little guilty when she says this.
The Swift Dog was oozing blood and looked utterly miserable, perhaps suffering from some underlying condition. However, the hospital couldn't find anything. After running various tests, they only concluded it was "exhausted," which wasn't very convincing.
But Blue Star's technological level has only reached this level, and it is impossible to find out what is going on with the little hurricane dog.
According to the staff, the 17-year-old girl was a student about to take her subject exams. It was a bit of a shame to ask her to take such a "severely injured" beast with her.
Furthermore… this incident was primarily the fault of the security department. While apprehending a mysterious beast smuggling ring, they accidentally let one of their members escape, leading to Xia Muqing's crisis.
"We're truly sorry for this," the staff member said apologetically. "It's our security department's fault that we allowed you to confront the criminals. We want to apologize."
Xia Muqing waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't arrived in time, I really wouldn't be able to defeat that electric fox."
Staff: "How about this, we compensate you with some medicine and nutritional supplies to help the Swift Dog recover faster?"
"Also, the Beastmaster Association is willing to provide a set of third-level cultivation resources. You can take this instruction and go there to claim it when you have time."
Xia Muqing was slightly stunned.
Is there such a good thing?
…
The reason why the security department was willing to coordinate with the Beastmaster Association to compensate with a third-level breeding resource was mainly because they could not find out the illness of the little hurricane dog.
Although it was only level three, the items that could be included in the association's inventory were all treasures brought back by adventurers from other dimensions. The staff believed that with this item, even if Xia Muqing started training a new profound beast from now on, she would be able to achieve a certain level of success before the exam.
But for Xia Muqing, this was purely a pleasant surprise.
Others may not know the reason why Xiaofeng is bleeding all over, but how could she not know?
That is a breakthrough in limits, a one in a million chance to increase the five-dimensional attributes in addition to evolution!
At this moment, Xia Muqing checked the attributes of the mysterious beast again. Xiaofeng's spiritual attribute value had increased from 91 to 93, and the speed attribute had also increased from 94 to 95, breaking through the 95 mark.
Above 90, every breakthrough is extremely difficult. Even with evolution, Xia Muqing couldn't guarantee that Xiaofeng's five attributes would break through 100 points. However, there is an unspoken rule in the game - before the first-level evolution, if the five-dimensional attribute of the mysterious beast can break through 95 points, its attribute will definitely break through 100 after evolution.
In other words, Xiaofeng will definitely become a divine beast in the future.
"As expected, dangers and opportunities coexist in this world." Xia Muqing murmured silently, "And Xiaofeng, thanks to him for breaking out at the last minute, otherwise I would be dead today."
Thinking of this, she grabbed the security officer again and said, "Excuse me, Miss, do you know where to teach Beast Tamers combat techniques?"
Combat in the real world is different from fighting in games.
This crisis served as a wake-up call for Xia Muqing.
In the game, the Beastmaster can command the mysterious beasts to fight without getting hurt. But in real life, it's not a competition where the Beastmaster's own safety is a concern. Who doesn't know that to capture the thief, you must first capture the leader?
Not only does she have to train Xiaofeng, she also has to improve her self-protection ability and not hold Xiaofeng back.
…
The little hurricane dog was indeed just exhausted, so it recovered quickly and could continue skill training the next day.
After this crisis, it has grown a lot. The roots of its hair are still light red, and its eyes are no longer as evasive as before, but much more determined.
Xia Muqing invited Sister Wenxue for the last time and asked the little hurricane dog to use "deterrence" in front of her.
“Ouch!”
Invisible air waves surged and spread, and a rumbling echo seemed to be heard in the venue.
Wenxue was amazed. "So strong! If my spotted eagle hadn't been prepared, it would have been stunned for a second!"
"It has already mastered this skill. Looks like I'm going to be out of a job."
Xia Muqing said with a smile: "Thanks to senior sister for teaching us wholeheartedly during this period of time."
Wenxue waved her hand. "I'm just doing it for a fee. Your Swifthound is truly gifted. Honestly, I can't see how far it can grow in the future."
"You want to be an adventurer, right? When you apply, consider Dongjiang University. I'll be there for you."
"Are there any other skills you'd like to learn? If you have any ideas, feel free to call me. I'll give you a 30% discount!"
After saying goodbye to Sister Wenxue, Xia Muqing took the little hurricane dog to the Beastmaster Association.
Now that the subject examination is very close, she needs to get the third-level resources as soon as possible and let the little hurricane dog digest them as soon as possible.
The Beast Tamer Association has a separate office building in S City, which has more than twenty floors and is very impressive.
After Xia Muqing presented the instructions, the staff took her to a conference room and handed her a long list.
"These are all level 3 resources stored in the library. Please choose one from them."
Xia Muqing looked at the list: "...Slurp."
My mouth is watering.
There are so many goodies! Stamina potions, skill duplication stones, mysterious beast eggs, Sky Shadow Flowers... I'm completely overwhelmed. What should I do?
Forcing herself to suppress her excitement, Xia Muqing read the list carefully from beginning to end.
When her eyes swept across a certain line, she was slightly stunned: "Huh?"
This thing called 'Spiritual Nourishing Stone' looks familiar to you?
