Beast Taming: I Can Add Points

The girl quickly composed herself, swallowing back her tears. Her voice was steady and calm once more:

"Su Zhi, the Demon Abyss Claw has powerful mimicry and invisibility. It can also use water for rapid movement. Be extremely careful!"

The moment she finished speaking, the Demon Abyss Claw’s figure vanished in a distortion of light.

Immediately after, a jet-black claw appeared out of nowhere, swiping at Su Zhi’s neck.

Wu Bao hurriedly raised its horns to block, but met only air. The claw passed right through them, as if clipping through a video game model.

Yu Bao remained unfazed. Sand and wind instantly gathered around it, sweeping toward the right flank.

It unleashed a Tier Two Sandstorm!

Compared to Wu Bao, who focused on melee offense and defense, Yu Bao’s Skills were more comprehensive and systematic.

From their very first encounter with the Demon Abyss Claw, Yu Bao had committed its optical invisibility to memory and had secretly activated its Earth Force Field.

The Demon Abyss Claw’s recent maneuvers seemed dazzling, but within the Perception of its Earth Force Field, the beast was as clear as a highlighted target.

As Yu Bao’s gaze swept across the area, the sandstorm howled and surged.

Sure enough, a slender silhouette materialized within the swirling sands.

’Found you!’

Without hesitation, Yu Bao unleashed another Furious Sand Blade!

Even though it was right there, the Furious Sand Blade failed to harm the Demon Abyss Claw. The moment Yu Bao activated the Skill, the creature dissolved into a watery spray that dripped away into nothing.

Within the Perception of the Earth Force Field, its real body had already seized the chance to retreat to a safe distance.

"Son of a bitch..." Su Zhi ground his teeth, glaring at the shimmering distortion in the air.

’Invisibility, illusions, and Instant Teleportation... What a slimy bastard.’

But that wasn’t what worried Su Zhi the most.

"Hssss!"

A pair of scarlet-red eyes lit up in the distorted air. The Demon Abyss Claw hissed twice. This time, it stopped playing games with invisibility and simply charged forward for the kill.

"Don’t get bogged down! Staying alive is what’s most important!"

Su Zhi’s body tensed.

This was his greatest fear. If the Demon Abyss Claw decided to go for a pure Strong Attack, the pressure on them would be even greater!

Yu Bao and Wu Bao exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

"Wooo!"

Wu Bao used Lance Thrust to charge the Demon Abyss Claw, but the creature grabbed its horns and flung it aside.

Immediately, Yu Bao’s Furious Sand Blade followed.

The Demon Abyss Claw’s body once again dissolved into black, watery spray, dissipating the instant the Furious Sand Blade struck. It instantly reappeared right in front of Yu Bao.

"SWISH!"

The claw came crashing down.

Golden Light covered Yu Bao’s body and its Thick Earth Blessing was at full power, but the claw still left three bloody gashes.

Even as a pained expression crossed Yu Bao’s face, a triumphant glint flashed in its eyes.

The moment the Demon Abyss Claw wounded it, Yu Bao opened its jaws and bit down hard on the creature’s arm.

’Just as I predicted from my observations. The Demon Abyss Claw’s evasion Skill only works if it’s activated *before* it gets hit.’

’Once it’s hit, it can’t activate the Skill!’

"SWISH! SWISH!"

As the Demon Abyss Claw struggled in its grip, Yu Bao immediately unleashed its Earth Force Field.

The Quasi Tier Three Earth Force Field possessed immense control. The earth surged upwards like wet cement, sealing both Yu Bao and the Demon Abyss Claw in place.

SWISH!

Then, crimson, fiery patterns lit up.

Yu Bao infused the earth with raging flames, creating a searing, lava-like heat!

"HSSS!"

Roaring in pain, the Demon Abyss Claw counterattacked, its powerful body instantly shattering the earthen prison.

It shot a murderous glare at Yu Bao, about to put the insolent mutt in its place, but it noticed Yu Bao’s gaze was fixed somewhere behind it, flickering with anticipation.

"WOOO!"

Wu Bao, having gathered its strength, charged the Demon Abyss Claw.

This time, its glossy black horns were wreathed in rapidly churning sand, shot through with veins of crimson Flowing Fire, resembling a gigantic Flamethrower Chainsaw Sword.

Combined Skill: Burning Sand Blade + Lance Charge!

"SHIIIIINK—"

"HSSS!!"

The combination of the two Pet Beasts’ strongest killing blows erupted with devastating power.

Amidst a horrific shriek, one of the Demon Abyss Claw’s forelimbs was severed at the shoulder, spraying blood as it flew into the air.

But Yu Bao’s heart sank.

’I restrained it with my strongest Earth Force Field, but it still managed to adjust. We only took one arm, not its life!’

"HSSS!"

With another swipe of its claw, the Demon Abyss Claw shattered the last of the restraining Earth Force Field. Its skin, previously encased in molten earth, was now a mottled mess of deep and shallow burns.

Enraged, the Demon Abyss Claw swiped its claw at Yu Bao.

’Since you’re so eager to be the hero, I’ll grant your death wish!’

"POOF!"

Under the claw’s attack, Yu Bao dissolved into a pile of sand. Its real body had already relocated using Desert Concealment and was now sitting beside Su Zhi, observing the battlefield.

As a Wise One, Yu Bao was a master of the Dao of survival.

’I’m not stupid. The power gap is obvious. Did it really think I would fight it to the death?’

Wu Bao reacted just as quickly. Seeing the Demon Abyss Claw go after Yu Bao, it turned tail and fled, not giving the creature a chance to remember it was still there.

Despite achieving an impressive trade-off, the situation on the battlefield hadn’t improved much.

A dark current swirled where the Demon Abyss Claw’s arm had been severed. When the silhouette sharpened once more, a brand-new arm had taken its place.

"Super-speed Regeneration..." Su Zhi gritted his teeth. This was a significant advantage Abyssal Exotic Beasts held over Blue Star Exotic Beasts.

All the progress they had made was erased in an instant.
