• Qiao Sang asked who at school owned an Emotion Ghost, and Doctor Dolalisa named fourth-year Wilderness Exploration Department student Charles Coppola.

Qiao Sang’s Ghost Ring King was revealed to be a rare Ghost and Psychic-type variant, while Qiao Sang spent the day with Emotion Ghost and her other pets. After telling Little Treasure that its extra computer time would end, she inadvertently gave Emotion Ghost a chance to find despair in the living room.

After collecting more despair at the amusement park, she joined Charles and Carol on a trip to the Bazhi Mountain Range, habitat of the Emperor-level Earth Land Twin Dragon.

• Qiao Sang asked Doctor Dolalisa about Luobao’s emotional effects and told her about Jisidan, prompting Dolalisa to seek approval to bring one from Blue Star for research.

• Qiao Sang met Charles and Carol at Yulundun University, and Charles announced that the three of them were setting off for the Bazhi Mountain Range, home of the Earth Land Twin Dragon.

Qiao Sang and her team explored the Bazhi Mountain Range, where Little Treasure quickly hypnotized a General-level Iron Jaw Python and Qiao Sang learned that the range belonged to the Emperor-level Earth Land Twin Dragon. After Luobao slipped away at night to find a battle, Qiao Sang caught up with it just as unexpected snow began falling and an ice flower appeared in her palm.

• Charles and Carol explained that the outer region's Wild Pet Beasts usually avoided attacking humans, while the middle zone was more dangerous and the range belonged to the Earth Land Twin Dragon.
• Little Treasure hypnotized the Iron Jaw Python, and Carol collected its saliva while offering to prepare a defensive mixture for Qiao Sang's Steel Guardian Falcon.

• Qiao Sang used Little Treasure to locate Luobao and found it preparing to battle a green, winged Pet Beast; snow began falling, an ice flower grew in her palm, and Luobao cried out loudly.

• The Sand Land Dragon roared across the Bazhi Mountain Range, waking nearly every sleeping Pet Beast.

Qiao Sang, still frozen, encountered a General-level Giant Rock Nika after Little Treasure defeated a Cloth Ice Swallow, while Charles and Carol prepared to find her and flee from the nearby Sand Land Dragon. As Little Treasure tried to handle the Giant Rock Nika, a second one burst from underground.

• Qiao Sang urged Little Treasure to use Space Movement, but it lifted the Giant Rock Nika with telekinesis as the ground cracked and a second Giant Rock Nika appeared.

Qiao Sang and her Pet Beasts fought two Giant Rock Nikas and a dark blue bird Pet Beast after being ambushed in a dangerous area. Little Treasure rescued Qiao Sang and Luobao helped defeat the bird, but Little Treasure’s final Brick Break left Qiao Sang fearing the worst.

• The second Giant Rock Nika sent Rock Cones erupting toward Luobao, and Little Treasure split them apart with Brick Break.
• A dark blue bird Pet Beast seized Qiao Sang and repelled Luobao’s Water Jet, while Little Treasure held Luobao above the Rock Cones with Psychic Power.

• Little Treasure began striking again with Brick Break, and Qiao Sang heard a crack and feared what had happened.

After escaping the Giant Rock Nikas with Space Movement, Qiao Sang regrouped with her Pet Beasts in the Bazhi Mountain Range’s core area. When a swarm of Endure Hunter Spiders appeared, she chose to fight them for points.

• Luobao healed Qiao Sang, and Little Treasure used Space Movement to save them from the Giant Rock Nikas’ attack.

• Chao Guang Ma called out, and Little Treasure translated that the target it was seeking had arrived.
• Qiao Sang ordered Ya Bao to use Spark Rain against the barrier, but Spider King He Huang caught the Scarlet Energy Ball in silk and neutralized it.

Trapped with her team by Chao Guang Ma’s Space Lock and watched by Spider King He Huang, Qiao Sang learned that Gang Bao could communicate with her mind-to-mind and devised a plan to force the barrier open. After confirming their enemies would not interrupt Bond Evolution, she began Gang Bao’s real evolution, intending to use a Shaping Fruit to make him large enough to drain the air in seconds.

• Little Treasure recognized the incoming pet beast as Sand Land Dragon, and Qiao Sang feared it might trap Little Treasure separately to prevent his escape.

• Qiao Sang brought out a Shaping Fruit and began Gang Bao’s real evolution, planning to use the fruit to increase his size so he could drain the sealed area’s air quickly.
