Chapter 8: Fire Fang

Although Fire Fang's face was clearly unhappy, it still obediently walked over.

Qiao Sang squatted down and patted Fire Fang's head.

Fire Fang closed its eyes in comfort, completely different from its almost explosive state just a moment ago.

It's so easy to please, Qiao Sang couldn't help but marvel.

"Fire Fang, you and Pidgey go together," Qiao Sang said.

"Fang!"

Fire Fang barked happily, turned around, and its eyes immediately filled with fighting spirit.

From now on, if anyone says that fire-type pet beasts have bad tempers, Qiao Sang will be the first to disagree!

"Use Tackle!" Qiao Sang commanded directly.

She didn't care if the girl on the other side was ready; do you announce it before you start a fight?

This was her first time working with Fire Fang, and she didn't want to lose.

Fire Fang used its limbs to charge forward instantly.

Xu Linglan's gaze was fixed on the human and the two beasts. She suppressed the urge to curse and quickly reacted, "Desert Fox, use your tail to bind it!"

Fire Fang's successful Tackle earlier was because Xu Linglan's attention was on Pidgey. Now that she noticed Fire Fang, she was prepared.

Fire Fang was less than a month old, and its movement speed seemed incredibly slow to Desert Fox.

It leisurely extended its two-meter-long tail, waiting for Fire Fang to get closer.

"Pidgey, carry Fire Fang and fly up into the sky," Qiao Sang ordered immediately.

Pidgey's flying speed was slow compared to other flying-type pet beasts, but it was much faster than the young Fire Fang.

Even though Fire Fang was charging, Pidgey quickly caught up and flew away with it.

Xu Linglan was taken aback, not understanding what she was doing.

"Fang?" Fire Fang was also confused.

It was the first time working with Qiao Sang and the first time collaborating with Pidgey, so it clearly hadn't reacted yet.

"Pidgey, just throw Fire Fang onto it," Qiao Sang said calmly.

Pidgey hesitated, holding Fire Fang.

After all, it wasn't Qiao Sang's pet beast and didn't immediately throw Fire Fang onto Desert Fox.

Qiao Sang was a bit helpless and was about to give the next command when Pidgey finally executed Qiao Sang's order.

This was clearly not a good time; three seconds had passed since Qiao Sang issued the command, giving the other side enough time to react.

Fire Fang flew toward Desert Fox, and Qiao Sang was startled, just about to tell Fire Fang to dodge, but the other side didn't move.

Xu Linglan didn't make Desert Fox do anything.

Qiao Sang didn't understand, but it didn't stop her from giving the command.

"Charge at its neck with Fire Fang!"

The main reason Qiao Sang didn't choose Sand Fox was its low defense, and even its evolved form, Desert Fox, was the same.

Unlike its powerful tail, Desert Fox's body was incredibly fragile, and even a slight injury would cause pain, especially its neck, which was a fatal weakness.

"Quick, dodge!" Xu Linglan finally understood.

But it was too late.

A scorching flame enveloped sharp teeth and bit down on Desert Fox's neck.

"Desert!!"

Desert Fox let out a piercing scream, its fur standing on end, and its body writhed violently, trying to shake off Fire Fang.

Fire Fang clung on like a sticker, refusing to be shaken off.

"Jump away," Qiao Sang said.

Fire Fang didn't hesitate, immediately leaving Desert Fox's body and jumping to the side.

In the next second, Desert Fox's two-meter-long tail mercilessly swept across its own body.

Without Fire Fang on its back, the powerful tail hit itself entirely.

"Desert!!!"

Desert Fox, already injured in the neck, felt the pain intensify from the tail strike.

"Desert Fox, calm down!" Xu Linglan was frantic, not understanding how the situation had turned so quickly.

Desert Fox was in severe pain and couldn't heed her words.

"Pidgey, use Wing Attack!" Qiao Sang pressed her advantage.

Wing Attack was a skill unique to flying-type pet beasts, turning their wings into sharp blades, a move most flying-type pet beasts would learn.

"Pidgey."

Pidgey's gray eyes looked at Qiao Sang blankly.

It didn't know how to do it.

...

Although Qiao Sang didn't understand what Pidgey was saying, she could read its expression.

"Use Air Slash," Qiao Sang said without hesitation.

Pidgey flapped its wings forward, and six air blades instantly formed in the air.

"Desert Fox! Dodge!" Xu Linglan was in a panic.

Desert Fox's amber eyes narrowed, seeing the blades flying toward it, and it endured the pain to dodge to the side.

Four of the blades still hit it.

"Desert!!"

Desert Fox's body swayed, feeling like it was about to fall.

"Fire Fang, Tackle," Qiao Sang said.

Fire Fang had been eager to charge, and with the command, it charged at Desert Fox with all its might.

Like the last straw, Desert Fox's eyes rolled back, and it collapsed.

Completely overwhelmed...

Xu Linglan's legs gave out, and she fell to the ground.

Throughout the process, Desert Fox was like a target, constantly attacked.

Xu Linglan was dazed; she would be a senior next semester and had just been utterly defeated by an unverified new beastmaster.

Losing 1v2 wasn't a big deal, but not even using a single skill was something she hadn't expected.

Xu Linglan could see that this fierce girl didn't even know what skills Pidgey had, and Fire Fang wasn't anything special.

She had been completely defeated by her command ability...

Qiao Sang ignored the girl's reaction, picked up Fire Fang, and smiled, "You did great."

"Fang!"

"Fang Fang!"

Fire Fang excitedly gestured to Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang's expression became strange.

Fire Fang jumped to the ground, bared its teeth, and a moment later, flames enveloped its fangs.

The next moment, the flames disappeared, and it excitedly gestured to Qiao Sang again.

"Are you saying you've never successfully used Fire Fang before?" Qiao Sang asked.

Fire Fang nodded repeatedly.

But in the Beastmaster Codex, it clearly showed that Fire Fang knew the Fire Fang skill.

Qiao Sang was puzzled and connected her consciousness to the Beastmaster Codex.

【Name: Fire Fang】

【Skills: Bite (Beginner 73/100) +, Tackle (Proficient 135/500) +, Fire Fang (Beginner 2/100) +】

【Points: 50】

Qiao Sang's eyes lit up; the numbers had changed!

The numbers for Tackle and Fire Fang, as well as the points below, had all changed.

Actually, looking closely at the numbers after Fire Fang, Qiao Sang already had a guess.
