Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1267

1267. Chapter 1262: Praying for Rain Phoenix (Two in One)

In the azure sky,

a roughly ten-meter-tall, khaki-colored flying pet flapped its wings, soaring leisurely.

Surrounding flying pets easily outran it. The khaki

flying pet remained calm, soaring slowly.

After flying from dawn to dusk, Qiao Sang finally couldn’t help but lower his voice and said,

“Teacher, I think it’s better to just let Yabao and the others fly. That way it’ll be faster.”

“Yabao!”

At that, Yabao immediately barked, indicating it could.

Then, it flew aside, expanding in size.

“Come back first,” Mikaela said, understanding what Yabao was about to do.

Yabao paused and looked at its beastmaster. “

Teacher…” Qiao Sang nodded slightly.

“Yabao…”

A look of disappointment crossed Yabao’s face as he flew back to the khaki flying pet.

“There are regulations for visiting Bird Island. Humans who wish to enter must hire a local flying pet,” Mikala explained.

Qiao Sang paused, then asked, “How do pets enter?”

“Flying pets don’t require any formalities; they can enter directly. Contracted pets enter with their beastmasters. Wild pets other than flying pets must hire a local flying pet, just like humans,” Mikala explained.

It’s quite a hassle… Qiao Sang glanced at the khaki flying pet leisurely flying before her and asked in a low voice,

“Why don’t you find a faster pet?”

Its speed reminded her of her mother’s fat pigeon, which hadn’t evolved yet… Do

you think I wouldn’t want to…? Mikala’s calm face revealed a hint of helplessness. “There are only a few flying pets that fly between Yan Country and Bird Island every day. I’ve chosen the one with the most expensive ticket.”

“Jianjian,”

the khaki flying pet cried out before Qiao Sang could say anything.

I’m valuable because I’m steady. Rest assured, I’ll get you safely to Bird Island.

Jianwen Bird, a Flying General-class pet, is renowned for its steadiness. Whether in a typhoon or traversing the sea, it maintains stability and ensures safe passage.

So you can hear it all… Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then said, “Can you fly a little faster?”

“Jianjian,”

Jianwen Bird chirped without hesitation.

No, it needs to be steady.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Just then, Gangbao called out,

“Gang Chief.” “

Go a little faster, I’ll give you extra money when we reach your destination.

” “Jianjian,”

Jianwen Bird was silent for two seconds before chirping, indicating that you had already purchased and paid.

Qiao Sang keenly sensed the other party’s excitement during that two-second silence and quickly said, “We’ll give you extra money.”

“Jianjian!”

Jianwen Bird’s eyes lit up and he shouted. “

Hold on tight! “

With that, a sudden white light emanated from his body, and he suddenly accelerated.

“Jis!”

Jisi Egg was caught off guard, lost his grip, and was blown away by the wind.

Lubao’s quick eyes and hands extended his tail, tucking it back in his grasp.

“Ice Emperor,”

Lubao called, looking down at Gis Egg. “

Hold on tight.

” “Gis!”

Gis Egg nodded vigorously, then gripped Lubao’s tail with both claws.

Lubao: “…”

As if aware of the movement behind them, Jianwen Bird channeled its energy.

Instantly, a transparent barrier enveloped its body, shutting out the surrounding wind.

Mikala asked, “What did you just tell Jianwen Bird to add? Why did it suddenly speed up?”

Qiao Sang replied succinctly, “Add money.”

Mikala: “…”

Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, Jianwen Bird had finally left Yan Country.

The density of skyscrapers dwindled, while the mountains and rivers grew.

Yantian Star is home to numerous pets, and aside from human settlements, the land outside of cities is rarely developed, resulting in a pristine natural environment.

Passing through mountains and seas,

the sun rose and set.

Finally, Jianwen Bird landed on an island.

The number of flying pets around was visibly increasing.

Qiao Sang glanced around, spotting many unfamiliar flying pets.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao’s head pierced the barrier, curiously surveying the surroundings.

“Are we there yet?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Jianjian,”

replied the large bird, Jianwen. It barked, confirming that this was Bird Island.

With that, it picked up speed, plummeted downward, and landed on a spacious, flat area.

This was clearly where flying pets stopped between cities. Many large flying pets stopped here, with people and pets bouncing around them. Qiao Sang,

holding the now-fresh-pu-like Xia Lala, was about to jump.

“Jianjian,”

Jianwen’s bird called out in a low, slightly hurried voice. “

More money, more money! I haven’t paid yet.

” … Qiao Sang took out some money and handed it to the small Xunbao beside him.

“Xunxun~”

The small Xunbao took the money and floated over to the large bird.

“Jianjian, Jianjian.”

Jianwen Bird winked frantically behind him.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao gave a look of “I get it!” and teleported to Jianwen Bird’s wing position, secretly handing him the money.

Jianwen Bird calmly fluttered its wings and took the money.

It’s quite formal, and the money has to be slipped in secretly… Qiao Sang complained internally, then jumped off Jianwen Bird and landed steadily on the ground.

“Jianjian.”

Jianwen Bird smiled at her. He

became much more enthusiastic after giving her the money… Qiao Sang smiled politely in return.

“Let’s make Gangbao bigger, and we can just ride on it and get over there,” Mikala said after getting off the steady bird. “Here, with a flying pet, it’ll be easier to get around.”

Qiao Sang was about to ask how this was easier when a cyan bird-like pet suddenly swooped down and snatched the ice cream from a little boy’s hand.

The boy cried out, “My ice cream!”

His parents rushed to comfort him.

The cyan bird-like pet turned around, holding the ice cream in its mouth, with a mocking expression on its face, then spread its wings and flew away.

Mikala looked up at the flying pet and continued, “The flying pets here sometimes bully people who don’t have flying pets.”

“Isn’t anyone watching?” Qiao Sang asked.

Mikaela smiled and said, “Bird Island is the territory of a rain-praying phoenix. This species is on the verge of extinction, so it opened its territory to all kinds of flying pets. Later, it cooperated with the Beast Taming Alliance and no longer restricted humans from living here. However, if a dispute arises on its territory, it still sides with the pets.”

After a pause, she added,

“Don’t worry too much about the environment here. The rain-praying phoenix no longer manages Bird Island. With the intervention of the Beast Taming Alliance, the government here includes both humans and pets, so there won’t be any incidents of flying pets attacking people for no reason.”

“It’s just that the flying pets here are more difficult to manage than those in other places. If you have a flying pet by your side, they won’t do anything to you.”

“Without a flying pet by your side, will you definitely encounter trouble with flying pets here?” Qiao Sang asked, turning to look at Gang Bao.

Almost the moment his own beastmaster looked at him, Gang Bao slowly grew in size.

“It depends.” Mikaela floated up and sat on Gangbao’s body. “Not all flying pets are intelligent, nor do they like to cause trouble. It all depends on luck. If you don’t have a flying pet around, it’s best not to eat on the road; they like to eat from other people’s hands.”

“No wonder that kid’s ice cream was stolen just now,” Qiao Sang sighed.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao had taken some sunflower seeds from the ring and nodded as he cracked them.

With Lao Si, his younger brother, by his side, eating should be fine.

Qiao Sang was now a B-rank Beastmaster. Even if Gangbao hadn’t grown, she wasn’t worried about any flying pets causing trouble, but it was always better to have one thing less to worry about.

She gathered her thoughts, looked up at the enlarged Gangbao, blocked out her thoughts, and faked a cough.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao materialized on Gangbao’s body, removed the white cloud from her clothes, spread it over him, and smiled sweetly at her Beastmaster.

Well done, Qingbao… Qiao Sang then said to Yabao, “Let’s go.”

Gangbao looked down, silently glancing at his beastmaster.

Yabao’s eyes flashed blue, and he brought his beastmaster to Gangbao’s back.

Qiao Sang keenly noticed that many of the flying pets were looking their way.

At first, she thought they were all captivated by Gangbao’s good looks, but soon she noticed that they were all staring intently at the Gis Egg.

“Why do I feel like all these flying pets are staring at Gis Egg?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

“Gis?”

Gis Egg, rolling around Gangbao, stopped and looked around.

Is that true?

Mikaela glanced at the surrounding flying pets and said calmly,

“Many flying pets like to eat eggs.”

“So that’s how it is,” Qiao Sang said, suddenly realizing.

She had heard that some flying pets particularly like to eat eggs, even pet eggs.

Jisdan: “!!!!”

“Jis!”

Jisdan screamed, leaping into Lubao’s backpack, trying to get inside.

Lubao carried it out expressionlessly.

Jisdan’s mouth pursed.

Just as she was about to burst into tears, Gangbao flapped his wings and soared high into the sky, quickly leaving the surrounding flying pets far behind.

“Jis…”

Without those terrifying sights, Jisdan sniffed and suppressed his tears.

For the next moment, he didn’t dare roll around as usual, instead sticking close to Lubao. Even when the backpack couldn’t fit in, he clung to it with his claws.

Twenty minutes later, Gangbao arrived at a five-star hotel.

The hotel was incredibly tall, circular, with a hollow center and a ceiling that even reached into the clouds.

After checking in, a flying pet with a work badge led them to the hollowed-out area. It slowly grew in size and barked.

Qiaosang, Mikaela, and Yabao climbed onto its back.

The flying pet with the work badge flapped its wings and soared upwards.

Soon, it stopped at the railing on the 306th floor.

“Don’t you have to use a flying pet every time you come up?” Qiao Sang asked, jumping over the railing.

“Test it,”

the flying pet with the badge called out before Michaela could respond. “

You can call us, or you can use your own flying pet.”

The hollow space in the center of the hotel is over 800 square meters, enough for several high-level flying pets to return to their original size and stay and fly here.

It seems this hollow space was designed specifically for flying pets… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said,

“I see.”

The flying pet with the badge turned and flew down.

Michaela walked towards the reserved room.

“Is there an elevator here? Don’t everyone have to use a flying pet to get up?” Qiao Sang asked, surveying the surroundings.

“There’s an elevator,” Mikaela said. “But everyone usually comes up with flying pets. After all, the flying pet service is a specialty of this hotel.”

That’s true. Other hotels don’t have this kind of service… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Then she thought,

“Are we going to participate in any competitions next?”

Before coming to Bird Island, she’d done some research online. Many people said they were competing to obtain resources, or to win the favor of a flying pet and form a contract with it.

“No need,” Mikaela said. “I’ve checked, and the recent competitions have been mostly for low-level beastmasters and pets. Even if you win, you won’t have the resources Gangbao needs.”

“So where can we get the resources Gangbao needs?” Qiao Sang asked.

“From Qiyufeng,” Mikaela said, arriving at the reserved room and opening the door.

The view was a luxurious and spacious living room, its patterned marble tiles gleaming brightly. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, a fiery sky was visible, and occasionally, a few flying pets passed by.

The scenery was very intoxicating, but Qiao Sang had no mood to appreciate it. He asked in surprise:

“The Rain-Praying Phoenix? The Rain-Praying Phoenix that manages this island?”

“That’s right.” Mikaela came to the floor-to-ceiling window, admired the scenery outside the window, and said, “There is only one Rain-Praying Phoenix on Feiniao Island.”

Qiao Sang stood there, stunned for a long time, and asked:

“How do we ask it for it? Do we go directly to its door?”

“How is that possible.” Mikaela turned his head and smiled, “I don’t even know where the Rain-Praying Phoenix is.”

Teacher Mikaela is reliable, Teacher Mikaela is reliable… Qiao Sang muttered to himself, and couldn’t help asking, “Even if we find the Rain-Praying Phoenix, will it give us resources?”

“I don’t know, but the resources of the king-level flying pet beasts are nothing to the Rain-Praying Phoenix. We can talk to it.” Mikaela admired the scenery enough, came to the sofa and sat down and said.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then asked his previous question again: “How do we find it?”

Mikaela looked at his pet, which was picking its nose nearby, and called out, “Dragon King.”

“Hurry up!”

The Dragon King lowered his claws, a look of “What a hassle!” and called out. (End of this chapter)
