Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1187

1187. Chapter 1182 Fire Spirit Mine (Two in One)

“This is…” Mikaela gazed down, bewildered. “Fire Spirit Ore?”

“What is a Fire Spirit Ore?” Qiao Sang inquired.

Every planet has different ores and materials. Before arriving on Flame Sky Star, she’d only learned about its pets, not items and materials.

Mikaela gazed at the scene below, took a deep breath, and said,

“This is a mine containing a large quantity of Fire Spirit Crystals.”

After a pause, she explained,

“Fire Spirit Crystals are an ore found only on Flame Sky Star. They’re a material of S-grade fire item quality and extremely difficult to smelt. They contain pure fire energy. If a fire pet absorbs it, it can significantly increase its energy. If…”

At this point, Mikaela paused.

“If what?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.

Mikaela said in a deep voice,

“The Fire Spirit Crystal contains a vast amount of pure fire energy, but this energy is extremely unstable. If a pet absorbs it improperly or if the exterior of the Fire Spirit Crystal is subjected to some kind of stimulation, it will cause a powerful explosion.”

“I once heard of a flying pet passing through a certain race’s territory and dropping a Fire Spirit Crystal. I don’t know what happened, but the Fire Spirit Crystal exploded in that race’s territory, completely destroying an entire mountain.”

A single Fire Spirit Crystal could actually destroy an entire mountain… Qiao Sang was horrified.

If the Fire Spirit Mineral Vein that formed so many Fire Spirit Crystals exploded, wouldn’t it be enough to destroy all the surrounding provinces?

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao understood, and frightened, he quickly teleported hundreds of meters into the air.

Then, seeing his beastmaster, Big Brother Yabao, and his younger brothers all motionless, he teleported back with an embarrassed look on his face, pretending he hadn’t teleported at all.

“Has no one discovered this Fire Spirit Mineral Vein?” Qiao Sang asked.

While Fire Spirit Crystals sound dangerous, they can be used as ingredients for S-rank Fire-type items and significantly increase the energy of Fire-type pets. No matter how you think about it, they’re incredibly valuable and shouldn’t be left lying around.

Besides, there are so many Fire Spirit Crystals that they’ve surfaced, so it’s impossible for no one to notice.

Mikaela fell silent, unsure of what was going on.

“Xia Xia,”

then the colorful bud’s Shalala called out, suggesting that, if it was right, this was the territory once occupied by Li Oyas.

“Steel Chief,”

Gangbao translated in his mind.

Qiao Sang was stunned. “Territory occupied by Li Oyas?”

“Xia Xia,” the colorful bud’s Shalala nodded.

Peng Jiamei and the Dragon King didn’t offer to translate, but Mikaela, having heard Qiao Sang’s words, deduced what Shalala had said a hundred years ago. She pondered,

“Fire Spirit Crystals are a material that only exists on Yantian Star, but how they’re created is unknown. Could their creation be connected to Li Oyas?”

Qiao Sang thought it made perfect sense.

After all, what’s a true Fire Crystal? Fire Crystals are all produced from pets.

“Xia Xia.”

“Xia Xia.”

The colorful buds of Shala Lala looked at Mikaela, nodded, and called out twice, confirming that her guess was correct. The Fire Spirit Crystals were actually Li Oyas’s tears. Because Li Oyas didn’t want humans and other species to know that it could shed tears, he had gone to the Beastmaster Alliance to forbid them from spreading this information. Thus, humans and other species were unaware of how Fire Spirit Crystals were produced.

“Hey, hey,”

the Dragon King glanced at his own Beastmaster and called out.

Shala Lala finally praised you. Are you happy?

Mikaela: “…”

No, she didn’t even know what Shala Lala was talking about…

“Steel Chieftain.”

Gang Bao translated in his mind.

The Fire Spirit Crystals were actually Li Oyas’s tears… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, looking at the dense red light shining through the ground, a look of astonishment.

Could Li Oyas really cry like this?

I couldn’t tell at all!

Then a thought occurred to her, and her expression suddenly became complicated.

When Li Ou Ya Si first learned about her and Sha La La’s relationship, he might have been holding back tears. He left specifically, likely because he didn’t want them to see him crying.

And this was where Li Ou Ya Si chose to cry.

“Xia Xia,”

the thought flashed through her mind, and Sha La La, the colorful flower bud, cried out again, explaining that Li Ou Ya Si’s tears would need to be exposed to high temperatures for over three months before they could produce Fire Spirit Crystals. That’s why she suggested this might be Li Ou Ya Si’s former territory.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s first thought was,

“Oh, so he hasn’t been crying recently. “

His second thought was, “Wow, Li Ou Ya Si really does cry…

” “What did Sha La La say?” Mika La finally asked, watching Qiao Sang’s expression change several times.

Before Peng Jia Mei could speak, Qiao Sang acted as an interpreter, saying,

“It said the Fire Spirit Crystals are actually Li Ou Ya Si’s tears…”

She then recounted the news Sha La La had shared with her.

… Mika La was silent for more than ten seconds, digesting the information.

In her mind, legendary god-level pets were supposed to be powerful, mysterious, and omnipotent, their slightest attack potentially causing devastating disaster.

She had never imagined a legendary god-level pet could cry, and cry so eloquently…

Mikaela watched the red flames emanating from the ground below, her emotions swirling.

Since this was Li Oyas’s former territory, it made sense that no one was mining the Fire Spirit Ore here.

Even if it had left, because of its tears, it was possible that Fire Spirit Crystals would form here three months later. Therefore, it had forbidden humans and other pets from approaching the area, even though no one knew the Fire Spirit Crystals were its tears.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao, listening to the conversation, completely uninterested in the Fire Spirit Crystals, couldn’t help but bark, asking where Li Oyas was. Which direction should it chase now?

“Xia Xia,”

the colorful bud-like Xia Lala called calmly, signaling that there was no need to chase, as it was right here.

With that, its eyes glowed green.

The next second, a red semicircle of barrier suddenly appeared below.

Through the barrier, it was clear to see Li Ou Ya Si, now stripped of its leaf camouflage.

As it ate the Fire Spirit Crystal, it looked up at Sha La La with a speechless expression, as if to say, “Why are you telling everyone everything?”

Li Ou Ya Si! Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up.

She had never expected Li Ou Ya Si to be right under her nose.

Legendary god-level pets were legendary god-level pets. A random barrier could completely obscure them, even Teacher Mika La and Peng Jia Mei were completely unaware.

If it weren’t for Sha La La, she probably wouldn’t have found Li Ou Ya Si no matter how hard she tried… Qiao Sang sighed heartily, deeply aware of the disparity in power between her and a god-level pet.

Mika La’s heart sank.

Ever since she became an S-level Beast Tamer, she had never been unable to detect a barrier.

Was this the power of a god-level pet…

“Ya Ya!”

Just as Mika La was in a state of confusion, Ya Bao, with an excited expression, rushed down.

Li Ou Ya Si grabbed handfuls of Fire Spirit Crystals and didn’t leave.

“Ya Ya!”

After landing, Ya Bao revealed a disgruntled expression and barked in question, demanding to know why he’d sneaked away.

“Xun Xun…”

Little Xun Bao, startled, wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead. “

This is my big brother, Ya Bao! This is a god-level pet, a single tear could destroy an entire race’s territory. How dare you speak to it like that?”

Despite this thought, little Xun Bao’s admiration for Ya Bao rose to a new level.

Li Ou Ya Si glanced at Ya Bao, then ignored him. Instead, he called out helplessly to the colorful flower buds’ Xia La La,

“Li Li.” “

It’s been three days, and you keep chasing me. We’re all going to die soon. You should be thinking about how to avoid death, not following others to beg for Fire Crystals.

” “Reli…”

Reli Luo Ka, standing next to Lu Bao, tears welled up in his eyes, and he nodded in agreement.

That’s right.

“Xia Xia?”

Xia Lala, the colorful flower bud, called out calmly, asking, “Do you have the Lihuo Crystal now?”

Li Ou Ya Si was silent for a moment, then spread out his paw.

A large, irregular orange crystal suddenly appeared. “

Holy crap, Lihuo Crystal?” Qiao Sang was startled, then exclaimed delightedly,

“You’ve finally produced ocular secretions!”

Seeing this, Mikaela was equally delighted.

Their purpose in traveling through time was to obtain the crystal currently in Li Ou Ya Si’s paw.

“Ya Ya!”

With their beastmaster’s words, Ya Bao immediately understood what this thing was. His tail wagged wildly, his eyes filled with anticipation and excitement. He looked at Li Ou Ya Si and called out, as if to say, “Give it to me, give it to me!”

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Ya Si glanced at Ya Bao, then curled his lips and called out with a smile, asking, “Why should I give it to you? “

Ya Bao was stunned.

Wasn’t this what everyone had agreed on?

If he didn’t give it to him… Ya Bao’s tail stopped wagging, his eyes fixed on the orange crystal, and he began to contemplate the possibility of taking it and escaping successfully.

This little guy actually wants to steal… Li Ou Ya Si saw what Ya Bao was up to, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He couldn’t remember how long it had been since he’d encountered someone who dared to snatch something from him.

“Xia Xia.”

Just as he was thinking, the colorful bud of Xia La La called out calmly.

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Ya Si’s body stiffened, and then, with a reluctant expression, he threw the Li Huo Crystal in Ya Bao’s direction.

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao teleported and took the Li Huo Crystal.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao’s eyes lit up, and his tail wagged again. He barked, indicating that he must put it away.

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao barked, indicating that it was okay. Then he took off the ring, carefully found a box to put it in, and put it away.

The Li Huo Crystal, just like that… Qiao Sang felt inexplicably unreal.

She’d assumed that even if she found Li Ou Ya Si, it would take some time to get him to produce eye mucus. Unexpectedly, before she’d even tried anything, she’d already gotten the Li Fire Crystal so easily…

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, looked at Li Ou Ya Si, and said solemnly,

“Thank you.”

If Li Ou Ya Si truly didn’t want to give the Li Fire Crystal, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to preserve it and show it to them.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao looked at Li Ou Ya Si, wagging his tail and barking happily.

“Li Li,”

Li Ou Ya Si barked as he continued to eat the Fire Spirit Crystal, indicating that he was only doing it for Xia La La’s sake. Now that they had the Li Fire Crystal, they should leave quickly.

“Gang Qi,”

Gang Bao translated in his mind.

Qiao Sang was silent for a long time, then hesitantly said, “But I don’t know how to get back…”

Li Ou Ya Si paused in his eating and looked over.

Qiao Sang said,

“Shi Pan Te brought us here, but we don’t know where he is now.”

“Li Li?”

Li Ou Ya Si called out, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

Didn’t you leave any contact information?

Do you think I didn’t want to… Qiao Sang explained, “It disappeared when it sent us here.”

“Lili,”

Li Ouyas called out impatiently, indicating that you shouldn’t follow me.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then said seriously,

“I know you want to change the ending now. We came from a hundred years later and know more than you do. Maybe we can help you when the time comes.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao looked serious and called out, indicating that it could do anything it needed.

Li Ouyas fell silent.

“Xia Xia,”

Xia Lala, the colorful bud, called out to it.

“Lili.”

Li Ouyas turned his head to the side and began to eat the fire spirit crystal, calling out, “It’s up to you. “

Qiao Sang asked,

“Why did you leave?”

“Lili.”

The question was so sudden that Li Ouyas was stunned for a moment and called out, saying, “What’s your business?”

It’s already this late, and you still haven’t said anything… Qiao Sang sighed and said,

“Only by understanding the situation can we possibly find a solution.”

“Lili?”

Li Oyas looked over, a mocking expression on his face, and called out.

Just you?

“Xiaxia.”

Shala Lala, resembling a colorful bud, floated up and called out seriously.

“Xiaxia…”

Shala Lala, resembling a fresh cattail, wore a worried expression and called out again, urging you to speak up.

Although not familiar with the Li Oyas before her, the sight of Shala Lala reminded her of the sorrowful spirit in the cave.

Li Oyas looked from one Shala Lala to the other, silent for a long moment, then called out twice:

“Lili.”

“Lili.”

It didn’t matter, it thought. It absolutely couldn’t possibly die, not even from a fireball.

Unless the problem lay with itself, so it’s best you don’t follow me.

Mikala looked at Pengamei, then at the Dragon King, and finally at Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang translated Li Ou Ya Si’s words in a deep voice and asked,

“Is there anything wrong with your body?”

Li Ou Ya Si was about to laugh at him, but Qiao Sang said,

“Lu Bao knows the healing light. If you have any problems, it can heal you.”

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao, who had been silent, called out.

Li Ou Ya Si restrained his original expression of wanting to laugh. He saw that the human in front of him and this group of unfamiliar pets really wanted to help him.

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Ya Si called out.

It has no problems now.

Mikaela looked at Qiao Sang.

“It said it has no problems now.” Qiao Sang finished translating and asked:

“Then why did you return to Zhengzhou and come here?”

“Li Li.”

Li Ou Ya Si called out while eating the Fire Spirit Crystal.

It didn’t know what Zhengzhou was or not. It just felt that it might need to become stronger. It remembered that there was a pile of Fire Spirit Crystals here, so it came back.

Fire Spirit Crystals can actually make god-level pets stronger… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, looking at the dense red flames shining through the ground. (End of this chapter)
