Qiao Sang never expected Ye Ranran's Desert-Tailed Fox to be this powerful. She felt her tension ease a little.
With over two hundred contract beasts participating, the Fire Tooth Dog, coming in second, was sure not to finish last.
The Fire Tooth Dog quickly donned the yellow relay band and shot forward with a burst of speed.
"Run!"
"Run!"
Little Treasure, the tiny spirit creature, shouted loudly to cheer it on as it floated beside the racing beast.
Qiao Sang, quick on her feet, pulled it back.
"Are you tired?"
Little Treasure looked back with innocent eyes.
"Don’t waste your energy. We still need you for the sixth leg, so let's head straight to Liu Yang River and wait for Yabao," Qiao Sang said.
Her words had a mix of truth and deception; the first half was a lie, but the second half was sincere. She had no hope for Little Treasure’s help in the sixth leg; chasing after was out of the question. The third leg was over ten kilometers away in Liu Yang River, and with such tiny legs, It would probably tire out within half the distance.
Moreover, marathon racing didn't allow pacing, and there were professional medical teams and technical support ensuring safety throughout the process. Pacing could lead to unnecessary trouble and chaos in the race, making it difficult to maintain order.
Qiao Sang watched as the Fire Tooth Dog disappeared into the distance.
Yabao, we can only support you mentally!
Go for it!
