Chapter 91: Thunder Swift Bird

The Thunder Swift Bird, a Commander-level pet beast.

Its lightning-like speed ranks it among the top three flying pet beasts of the same level in the Yu Hua region.

Its well-developed thigh muscles, agile speed, and elegant appearance make it a coveted pet for many beast tamers.

Jiaosang looked in shock at the Thunder Swift Bird, which was in a terrible state.

If it weren't for the fact that the Thunder Swift Bird's general appearance hadn't changed, she wouldn't have believed that this was the king of the Commander-level flying pet beasts.

Jiaosang's body involuntarily tensed up.

There was no doubt that this pet beast, which should not have appeared on Yellow Bright Mountain, was worth 5 million.

Jiaosang silently observed the two pet beasts in front of her, showing no reaction on her face.

Only the tightly clenched fists revealed her nervousness.

One Thunder Swift Bird, one Stone Helmet Spirit, and one Silver-Tailed Sea Snake.

If these were the pets of an ordinary beast tamer, she might have even taken a photo to commemorate the moment.

But now, she felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

This made her realize that the world was far more dangerous than she had imagined.

The Thunder Swift Bird, from a distance, immediately noticed the unfamiliar person.

It was momentarily stunned by the Fire Fang Dog's posture, then a strange excitement welled up inside it.

Jiaosang couldn't help but feel that the Thunder Swift Bird, limping, moved even slower, as if its injuries had suddenly worsened.

The Thunder Swift Bird dragged its injured body to the side of the Stone Helmet Spirit, its sharp eyes glaring at the Fire Fang Dog with dissatisfaction.

"Stone Helmet!"

"Stone Helmet!"

The Stone Helmet Spirit quickly came forward and recounted everything that had just happened.

"Thunder Swift!"

The Thunder Swift Bird pretended to be angry and flapped its wings, but it felt a sharp pain halfway through the motion.

Glancing at its left wing, which was bare and featherless, the anger on its face became genuine.

"Thunder Swift!"

The Thunder Swift Bird turned and let out a loud cry at the Fire Fang Dog, as if about to charge forward.

"Stone Helmet!" The Stone Helmet Spirit quickly stepped in front of the Thunder Swift Bird in fear.

"Thunder Swift! Thunder Swift!"

The Thunder Swift Bird looked furious, but its claws remained rooted to the spot, not moving forward.

Jiaosang watched the two pet beasts tussling with a strange expression.

The Stone Helmet Spirit's concern seemed genuine, but the Thunder Swift Bird felt so fake.

A Commander-level Thunder Swift Bird, if it really wanted to attack the Fire Fang Dog, might be worried about its speed being slower than the Fire Fang Dog's bite, given its injured legs and wings.

But what about its electric skills? Were they just for show?

Was it afraid that the lightning might also harm its tamer?

Jiaosang's thoughts raced, and she suddenly shouted, "Fang!"

The time they had spent together had made the Fire Fang Dog and Jiaosang increasingly默契 (in sync).

Hearing its tamer's voice, the Fire Fang Dog opened its mouth, ready to bite the man's neck.

"Stone Helmet!!!"

The Stone Helmet Spirit let out a deafening cry.

The Thunder Swift Bird, seeing this, excitedly watched the Fire Fang Dog.

The Fire Fang Dog's fiery fangs stopped just short of the man's neck.

The Stone Helmet Spirit let out a huge sigh of relief.

But the Thunder Swift Bird looked disappointed, then continued to angrily call at the Fire Fang Dog, with the Stone Helmet Spirit quickly stepping in front.

Seeing the two pet beasts' different reactions, Jiaosang realized that the Thunder Swift Bird, despite its apparent anger, was trying to provoke the Fire Fang Dog into biting the man.

Not every pet beast and tamer had a relationship like family or friends.

Some tamers treated their pet beasts purely as tools for profit, exploiting them relentlessly.

If a low-level tamer, with insufficient intimacy with their pet, made the pet beast unhappy, a temperamental pet might prefer to suffer the backlash and break the contract.

But for high-level tamers, with more developed brain regions and stronger taming manuals, the pet beasts could not break the contract even if they suffered backlash.

Once a tamer awakened their taming manual to the third page, equivalent to a D-level tamer, the pet beast could no longer break the contract on its own.

Unless the pet beast's level far exceeded the tamer's, which was impossible.

High-level pet beasts that had not been contracted were mostly in secret realms.

Their minds were already mature, and they could not be contracted without overwhelming force.

Only tamers who were stronger than them could contract them.

But even if they contracted such high-level pet beasts by force, the pet beasts might not obey.

Pet beasts that were not raised from a young age could easily develop conflicts with their tamers for various reasons.

Therefore, even A-level tamers preferred to contract low-level pet beasts and raise them gradually.

But there were always some people with different ideas.

They would take the risk of contracting high-level pet beasts to quickly enhance their strength.

Jiaosang thought that the 5 million might be one of these people.

The Thunder Swift Bird's behavior was clearly different from the Stone Helmet Spirit.

Assuming the Stone Helmet Spirit was contracted when it was a low-level pet, and the Thunder Swift Bird was contracted when it was already a high-level pet, everything made sense.

Because the Thunder Swift Bird, unable to break the contract even with backlash, and unable to harm its tamer due to the contract, was trying to use the Fire Fang Dog to kill the tamer and automatically break the contract.

Jiaosang felt much more relaxed after sorting out her thoughts.

She looked up at the two pet beasts still tussling and said, "Don't fight. If you scare me, I'll have the Fire Fang Dog bite your tamer's neck."

The Thunder Swift Bird was stunned by this, then pretended to be angry and charged forward.

"Stone Helmet!"

The Stone Helmet Spirit stepped in front again.

This time, the Thunder Swift Bird made a different move.

It raised its head and let out a long cry, and a bolt of lightning immediately struck the ground where the Stone Helmet Spirit had been.

The Stone Helmet Spirit was startled and quickly disappeared.

The next moment, the lightning mercilessly struck the ground where the Stone Helmet Spirit had been, leaving a deep crater.

The Stone Helmet Spirit reappeared behind the Thunder Swift Bird.

"Stone Helmet!"

"Stone Helmet!"

It angrily accused the Thunder Swift Bird.

The owner had said not to let the Thunder Swift Bird release skills randomly on the mountain, as the sudden lightning would draw attention.

Moreover, after that hateful human said those words, how could the Thunder Swift Bird still act?

This was clearly intentional!

The Stone Helmet Spirit only shouted in anger and did not retaliate.

The Thunder Swift Bird's eyes darted, noticing Jiaosang's position, and it swung its feathered wing toward her.

A sphere of lightning about 20 centimeters in diameter immediately formed.

Jiaosang's eyes twitched, and she quickly turned and ran to the man's side, using him as a shield.

Seeing this, the Thunder Swift Bird's mouth twitched, and it redirected the lightning sphere toward the Stone Helmet Spirit.

"Stone Helmet!"

This time, the change in direction was too sudden, and the Stone Helmet Spirit was caught off guard, taking the hit directly.

Although the Thunder Swift Bird was only at one-tenth of its full strength, the electric power was real, and the stone helmet on the Stone Helmet Spirit's head cracked.

"Stone Helmet!!!"

The Stone Helmet Spirit touched the crack and let out a heart-wrenching cry.

It glared at the Thunder Swift Bird, extended its right claw, and a dark shadow ball formed in its hand.

"Stone Helmet!"

"Thunder Swift!"

Jiaosang watched the two figures wildly releasing energy and couldn't help but sigh.

Pet beasts without their tamers were indeed like a disorganized mob...
