Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1176

1176. Chapter 1171 Spiritual Body (Two in One)

“Xun!”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao jumped, eyes wide, and yelled, pointing at the two Qingbao heads circling Li Oyas.

One of the Qingbao heads looked at Little Xunbao with a smug expression.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao was even more terrified, and quickly floated to his beastmaster’s side.

This was, a clone? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then a surge of joy. A sudden

thought struck her, and her consciousness shifted to the Beast Taming Manual, quickly flipping to the page concerning Qingbao.

Sure enough, at the end of the skill list were the words [Clone (Entry 1/100)+].

A simple breeze had actually created a clone… After confirming it was correct, Qiao Sang’s slight joy turned to overwhelming delight.

Honestly, even if Qingbao had suddenly mastered a high-level skill, it might not have been as gratifying as the clone.

After all, having a clone meant rapidly increasing skill proficiency. With the clone’s help, proficiency that normally takes a week or even a month could be achieved in just a day.

For Gold Finger, clones are undoubtedly the skill that best unleashes its power.

Qiao Sang’s consciousness returned to reality, and as she watched one of Qingbao’s heads whirling around, she praised him,

“Amazing! It’s so easy to master clones.”

Using her senses, she easily discerned which was Qingbao’s real head.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his beastmaster’s words.

It was a clone…

“Qingqing~”

Qingbao’s original form appeared and floated to his beastmaster’s side, feigning surprise and delight, and called out.

Oh, how did he manage to create a clone?

Little Xunbao: “…”

“Ya Ya!”

At this moment, Ya Bao called out, signaling Lao Wu, “Your original form should quickly return and continue blowing with the clone, so the tears come out faster.

” Qingbao’s body stiffened, and he looked at his beastmaster.

Before it could speak, Qiao Sang nodded and said,

“Yabao is right. Go ahead.”

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao reluctantly transformed into wind again, following his clone and surrounding Li Ou Ya Si.

“Xia Xia…”

Throughout the entire process, Xia Lala remained oblivious. Instead, she watched Li Ou Ya Si’s narrowed eyes, a worried expression on her face, as if she were thinking about something.

…

Meanwhile.

Outside.

At the hotel.

Mikaela packed her things and looked at Peng Jiamei.

Peng Jiamei understood, her eyes glowing blue.

Just as they were about to leave, their phone vibrated.

Mikaela picked up the phone, checked the caller ID, and signaled Peng Jiamei with her eyes.

Immediately, the blue light in Peng Jiamei’s eyes disappeared.

Mikaela answered the call and said, “Hello.”

“Senior, we’ve got some information on what you asked me to find out,” Kang Yang said on the other end of the phone. “The last time anyone saw Oyas was a hundred years ago, around the time of the severe drought on Yantian Star. There hasn’t been any news since.”

“As for the Fire Crater in Menzhou, there shouldn’t be any pets underneath. There’s been no news on that front.”

After hearing this, Mikaela frowned and fell silent.

“Senior, why are you suddenly asking about the Fire Crater? Are you and Junior Sister Qiao there now?” Kang Yang asked.

Instead of answering, Mikala asked,

“Did you inquire within the Beast Tamer Alliance?”

Kang Yang hummed a “hmm.” “Of course, I’ll make sure everything you tell me is accurate before I tell you.”

Mikala paused for a moment, then said,

“I remember that Li Oyas likes to run around the land, so quite a few people have seen it before.”

Kang Yang tried to understand, and tentatively asked,

“Are you asking me to find someone who has seen it before?”

“No,” Mikala said, “I’m asking if I’m remembering it correctly.”

Kang Yang was stunned, seemingly surprised by Mikala’s question, a complete lack of confidence in his own knowledge.

He replied,

“Of course, how could you be wrong?”

But then he couldn’t help but ask,

“Why do you ask that…”

Before he could finish, the other party hung up.

Kang Yang: “…”

…

Fire Crater.

Underground.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao collapsed exhaustedly beside Lubao, leaving only its clone still blowing around Li Oyas.

They truly are legendary pets. One, having just learned to clone itself, can multitask, resting while its clone works. And the other, despite such strong and prolonged winds, didn’t even blink, let alone shed a tear… Qiao Sang glanced at the limp Qing Bao, then at Li Ou Ya Si, feeling a surge of emotion.

These two situations defy common sense. It seems we can only wait for Teacher Mika La to arrive with the tear-jerking materials and props…

In a flash of thought, Mika La, Peng Jia Mei, and the Dragon King appeared out of thin air.

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and she said happily,

“Teacher, you’re finally here!”

Mika La smiled faintly, and was about to speak   when the Dragon King next to her suddenly shouted,

“Wait!”   What the hell is this!   Mika La glanced over and saw Qing Yun Nana’s head twirling back and forth next to Li Ou Ya Si.   Then, sensing something, she turned in the direction of Hyotei Ram and saw another Qing Yun Nana slumped beside her.   Qiao Sang explained,   ”Qing Bao just learned how to clone himself.   ”

The Dragon King wore an embarrassed expression. It was Qingbao’s tiny clone, with only one head, and quite frightening…

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao had floated over at some point and nodded in agreement.

Li Ou Ya Si continued to squint, motionless, neither surprised nor interested in Michaela’s arrival.

“Are you planning to have Qingyun Nana use the wind to blow Li Ou Ya Si’s tears out?” Michaela saw through their intentions at a glance.

Qiao Sang sighed and said,

“It’s a pity that after blowing for so long, Li Ou Ya Si still hasn’t shed a single tear.”

She turned and asked,

“Teacher, did you bring any tear-inducing props or materials?”

Michaela glanced at her and said gravely,

“Let’s not rush about that.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

Not rushing? Aren’t we here all this time just to make Li Ou Ya Si cry and produce eye discharge?

Mikaela looked at Li Oyas, took a deep breath, and asked solemnly,

“Li Oyas, is there something wrong with you?”

Li Oyas looked over.

So Teacher Mikaela had already seen it. Amazing… Qiao Sang quickly said,

“It’s true it has a problem, but Lubao just cast the Healing Light, so it should be fine now.”

“Really?” Mikaela continued to look at Li Oyas.

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala also glanced over.

“Li Li,”

Li Oyas called out calmly. “

Human, you’re meddling too much.

” “Mo Mo,”

the Dragon King called out with a gloating expression.

It thinks you’re meddling too much.

Qiao Sang remained expressionless, pretending not to hear Gang Bao’s mental translation.

Mikaela sighed and said,

“I mean no harm. I just want your eye discharge. Tell me your problem. Maybe after you’re cured, you’ll be able to produce eye discharge smoothly.”

Qiao Sang was stunned. Even though Lubao had just cast the Healing Light, she really didn’t know what illness could affect the production of eye mucus.

“Xia Xia…”

Just as he was thinking, Xia Lala looked at Li Ou Ya Si and called out worriedly, saying, “I can’t feel your vital signs. Are you dead? “

Qing Bao shuddered and dissipated his clone.

The wind around Li Ou Ya Si stopped.

“Peng Peng.”

Peng Jiamei was stunned at first, then helped translate with a serious expression.

“Steel Chief.”

Meanwhile, Gangbao helped translate in his mind.

Mikaela was stunned.

Dead, dead? Qiao Sang’s face was blank, a row of questions running through his mind.

Are you sure the translation wasn’t wrong?

Shalala said Li Ou Yas was dead?

Then what was she seeing now?

A spirit?

Impossible!

Not only was it warm, it was tangible. His previous illness had raised the surrounding temperature, and Lubao’s treatment had been effective. How could a living Li Ou Yas be dead?

Qiao Sang’s mind raced with thoughts, and finally came to a conclusion.

Either Shalala had misinterpreted it, or Gangbao had mistranslated it.

“Steel Chief,”

Gangbao called out in his mind.

It hadn’t translated it wrong; it must have been Shalala’s perception.

Yeah, I think so too… Qiao Sang said in his mind.

Gangbao silently glanced at his beastmaster.

As Qiao Sang and Gangbao were conversing, a black hole appeared out of nowhere behind Li Ou Yas.

Then, a short black toe emerged from it, slowly approaching Li Ou Yas.

Suddenly, Li Ou Ya Si glanced expressionlessly in the direction of Little Xun Bao.

“Xun Xun…”

Little Xun Bao, his paw behind his back, froze. He quickly turned his head, pouting, pretending to take in the surrounding scenery.

At the same moment, the black hole and the short toe poking out of it vanished.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao exclaimed, a look of “How could this be!”

He walked over to Li Ou Ya Si and raised his paw.

Li Ou Ya Si turned to look at him.

“Ya Ya!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Ya Bao placed his paw on Li Ou Ya Si, patted it twice, and exclaimed.

Look, he can even touch it.

Li Ou Ya Si: “…”

“Xun Xun…”

Little Xun Bao, seeing this, felt a mixture of emotion and admiration.

Big Brother Ya Bao was indeed Big Brother Ya Bao. It seemed he was still a long way from being the true boss…

The interruption from Ya Bao and Little Xun Bao lightened the atmosphere.

But just then, Mikaela said solemnly,

“I once read in a book that most divine beasts have extremely long lifespans and powerful spirits. Even if the true form of some divine pets dies, their spirits will continue to exist in the world for a long time, just like their true form.”

After a pause, she said solemnly,

“Ever since the meteor a hundred years ago, the underground temperature has been different from elsewhere. I think you must have lived here then. I didn’t think much of it at first, but after returning, I realized something was amiss.”

“Given your habits, it’s impossible for you to stay in the same place for so long, especially underground. I originally thought you had some kind of illness, but I didn’t expect…”

Mikaela had no doubt that Shalala’s perception was wrong, even though Shalala still looked newly born.

No way, could Li Ou Ya Si really have already… Qiao Sang’s heart trembled at this, and his heart couldn’t help but waver.

For a moment, all eyes were on Li Ou Ya Si.

“Lili?”

Li Ouyas’s expression remained unchanged, and he didn’t answer. Instead, he turned to look at Xia Lala, his eyes soft and a touch sad. “Do you still have any memories of the past?”

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala tried to recall, then shook her head.

“Lili,”

Li Ouyas called out softly. “It

‘s okay if you don’t remember. You were the one who helped me clean up the mess. If you still remembered, you’d probably talk about me for a long time.

” “Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala felt inexplicably sad at this.

“Lili,”

Li Ouyas called out with a sigh, indicating that, come to think of it, we left around the same time.

“Gang Qi…”

Gang Bao hesitated as he translated in his mind. “

Almost left?” What did that mean? Could it be what she understood? Qiao Sang was stunned, her ears perked up, her attention focused, waiting for the next conversation and Gang Bao’s translation.

What did that mean? What were Xia Lala and Li Ouyas talking about? Mikala glanced at Peng Jiamei and the Dragon King.

Unfortunately, they were both listening intently to the conversation, as if they were hearing something profound.

“Lili.”

Before Xia Lala could respond, Li Ou Ya Si called out again, saying it was fine, but only felt sorry for you. If it weren’t for it, you wouldn’t have fallen asleep so quickly.

Xia Lala didn’t understand.

“Lili,”

Li Ou Ya Si continued. “

You’re fine the way you are. Do what you want. It’s here for you.”

With that, he lay down again, then looked at Qiao Sang and the others and called out twice:

“Lili.”

“Lili.”

It was indeed a little different from its original appearance, but even so, it could still survive for a while. The reason its eyes weren’t producing secretions was that it had already depleted most of its energy and could no longer reach the same life state as its original self.

“Lili,”

it added after a pause. “

After you leave, I hope you don’t tell anyone about my situation.”

Qiao Sang listened to Gang Bao’s translation in his mind, his mind completely confused.

At this moment, she was absolutely certain that Xia Lala’s previous perception was completely correct. The Li Ou Ya Si before her was just a powerful, physical spirit!

Qiao Sang digested it for several seconds before saying,

“I will never tell anyone.”

You won’t tell anyone what! Mikaela had no one to translate, so she could only stand there anxiously.

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Ya Si looked at Qiao Sang and called out.

Sorry for not telling you the truth, it’s just that I haven’t seen Xia Lala in ages, and I wanted her to stay here for a while.

She’s long known that no matter what she does, her eyes won’t produce discharge, and she’s willing to cooperate simply so she can spend more time with her old friend.

“Xia Xia,”

Xia Lala called out, hinting that she could stay and keep you company.

“Li Li?”

Li Ou Ya Si looked at her and called out. “

Do you remember what you told me you wanted to do most?”

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala shook her head.

“Li Li,”

Li Ou Ya Si called out calmly. “

You said you wanted to travel to beautiful places.

” “Gold Chief,”

Gang Bao translated in his mind.

“It seems even though Xia Lala has no memories, her desire to travel hasn’t changed…” Qiao Sang thought to himself.

Xia Lala fell silent.

This is what she wants to do now.

“Li Li,”

Li Ou Ya Si called out, suggesting that you go and do what you want.

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala stared blankly at the unfamiliar face before her, feeling both touched and a little sad.

“Lili.”

Li Ouyas looked at Qiao Sang with a serious expression and called out.

Take good care of it.

Even if this “it” was not explicitly stated, Qiao Sang knew who he was talking about.

Just when she was about to answer, Li Ouyas lightly touched the ground with his claws.

The next second, a dazzling red light suddenly lit up in front of their eyes.

Qiao Sang, Mikaela and Yabao subconsciously covered their eyes or closed their eyes.

When they were able to open their eyes again, they found that they were outside the cave.

The entrance to the cave was covered by a red barrier.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized a particularly serious problem.

The real Li Ouyas is gone. The Li Ouyas inside is just a spiritual body like a physical entity, and it is impossible for it to produce secretions in its eyes and produce Lihuo Crystals.

Then, what about Yabao’s subsequent evolution? (End of this chapter)
