Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1273

1273. Chapter 1268 Complete Evolution (Two in One)

“Isn’t there a spatial crack on Yantian Star?” Qiao Sang asked.

Mikaela said gravely, “There isn’t one on Yantian Star. This isn’t a complete spatial crack, so it hasn’t been reported.”

“Then what could be on the other side of the spatial crack below the cliff?” Qiao Sang asked again.

Mikaela pondered for a moment, then said, “A void space shouldn’t contain any living creatures. The crack must be caused by the extreme instability of the space below. If there were any living creatures on the other side, the Beast Taming Alliance would have sent people to investigate long ago.”

She paused, then continued, “If the explosion below was caused by the unstable spatial crack, even if Gangbao had evolved to the Emperor level, his absolute defense would have to be at least highly developed before he could move down there for a short period of time.”

“That short period might not even be ten seconds,”

Qiao Sang said thoughtfully. “A spatial crack takes time to form. Even if it explodes, it can’t explode all the time.”

Mikaela looked at her. “What do you mean?”

“We can use a stand-in to detect the time when the spatial crack explodes, and then go down during the period when there’s no explosion. That way, we’ll have more time to search,” Qiao Sang said.

Upon hearing this, Mikaela stopped talking, tacitly accepting the plan.

Gangbao was already consuming the Hundred Wind Fruit, so the most important thing was to get him to the Imperial level first.

“Since we’ve already explored, let’s go back and come back when Gangbao has fully evolved,” Mikaela said, glancing at Xia Lala, whose face was already flushing in Qiao Sang’s arms.

Xia Lala loved the fresh air. The dead grass everywhere here wasn’t very pleasant, so it was best to return quickly.

“Wait,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Xiao Xunbao and saying, “Pick all the dead grass here.”

“Xunxun?”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned.

Dead grass, those black grasses?

Qiao Sang hummed, “Absorbing these dead grasses will increase your energy.”

“Xunxun!”

Xiao Xunbao exclaimed with joy, quickly creating a substitute and starting to pick dead grass after him.

“Qingqing,”

Qingbao cried, covering his mouth and nose with a look of disgust, implying that he would keep picking like you.

With that, a mighty gust of wind erupted from the ground.

In the fierce gust, the dead grass was snapped and swirled, swirling in the wind.

“Xunxun~”

Seeing this, Little Xunbao quickly removed the ring and enlarged it.

Qingbao controlled the wind, blowing the dead grass into the ring.

Seeing this, Mikaela couldn’t help but exclaim, “I’m afraid the Night Ring King can’t absorb so much dead grass.” While

dead grass can indeed increase the energy of ghost-type pets

, at the King level, the amount of energy it can provide is extremely limited. Dead grass is also extremely bitter to absorb, and few ghost-type pets would ever want to consume it again after absorbing it. It’s said that a beastmaster on Yantian Star once purchased dead grass specifically for his ghost-

type pet. After absorbing it, the ghost-type pet broke off relations with its master, even claiming in a news interview that its master abused it. Later, after being treated by a psychic pet, they reconciled.

She’d known about the Death Grass before coming here, but because of all the things about it, she hadn’t considered picking any for Night Ring King to absorb.

“It can absorb it,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

Now was the time when Little Xunbao was striving to become stronger, and even if it was hard, it could absorb the Death Grass.

A single Death Grass would have little effect on a King-level Ghost-type pet, but the combined

effect of so many Death Grasses was enough to give Little Xunbao a noticeable boost in energy. Given Night Ring King’s usual obedience, even if it absorbed the Death Grass, he probably wouldn’t be desperate… Mikaela recalled how Little Xunbao had always listened to Qiao Sang and said nothing more.

Soon, the Death Grass on the cliff edge was swept up by the strong wind and blown into Little Xunbao’s ring.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out as he put the ring back on his ear.

“As expected, you pick faster this way.

” “Qingqing,”

Qingbao’s lips curled up as he called out, confirming his understanding.

As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Jiamei’s eyes beside him glowed blue.

The group of figures quickly vanished from the spot they had been standing on. Leaves   trembled .

Atop a towering tree not far from the cliff edge, a chorus bird stared at the spot where Qiao Sang and the others had vanished for a moment, then flapped its wings and soared high into the sky.

…

On the grass. The Dragon King opened his eyes.   Qiao Sang, Mikala, and Yabao had appeared out of thin air.   ”Momo?”   The Dragon King looked at Peng Jiamei with a disapproving expression and called out.   ”   Why didn’t you take me with you just now?   Because taking you there would be no point…” Peng Jiamei glanced in the direction of Gang Bao and Ting Bao and called out, “Pen Peng.”   You still have to stay and watch over these two little guys.   ”Momo,”   the Dragon King said, relieved by this explanation, with a look of “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”   Peng Jiamei ignored it and turned to look at Jiu Bu Gu.   Jiu Bu Gu looked up at the sky, a look of sorrow, his thoughts unclear.   Peng Jiamei suddenly remembered his former self and felt a surge of emotion.   Gangbao was eating the Hundred Wind Fruit, and didn’t ask much about the situation on the other side of the Void Cliff. With the power of the bond with his own beastmaster, he already knew what the Void Cliff was like.   ”Gurgle…”   Suddenly, Yabao’s stomach growled.   It’s time for dinner… Qiao Sang remembered something and formed seals with his hands.   In the huge and mysterious purple star array, accompanied by the sudden falling of white snow, Lubao’s figure emerged.   ”Gis!”   Gis’s head popped out of the backpack. It looked at the falling snow with an excited expression, jumped out of the backpack, and rolled happily on the grass.   ”Xia Xia…”   Xia Lala looked up, staring blankly at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

Many of the hidden wild pets raised their heads, stunned, as they watched the snow fall from the sky.

Snowflakes fluttered down, landing on Jiubugu’s face. He paused for a moment, then sensed something and turned to look at Lubao, who had just emerged from the star array.

Jiubugu’s pupils shrank slightly, a look of astonishment on his face. Then, a thought struck him, and he quickly pulled a photo from the white ghost face on his belly.

Looking at the image of the smiling Night Spirit, Jiubugu once again exuded a melancholy and lonely aura.

“Tingting…”

Tingbao opened his eyes amidst the drifting snow.

Soon, the snowflakes stopped falling.

“Let’s eat first,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao removed the ring and quickly pulled out energy pills and a pile of fruit.

“Gangqi,”

Gangbao called out, indicating that there was no need to take out his share of food; he would only need the Hundred Wind Fruit.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao nodded, then thought of something and took out a bunch of dead spirit grass from the ring.

Mikaela glanced at it.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao immediately floated aside in disgust.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and said, “Let’s eat the main course first, and absorb the dead spirit grass later.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao carried the dead grass a little further away from the other food and barked, indicating that he wouldn’t be eating his main meal. This amount of dead grass was more than enough to fill him up.

That was true… Qiao Sang said, “If you can’t absorb it all, don’t force yourself. We can absorb it in multiple doses.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao barked nonchalantly, suggesting that Old Four had far more Hundred Wind Fruit than he had dead grass. If he could absorb so much, how could he not?

We’re talking about completely different things… Qiao Sang sat down cross-legged, picked up the bread, and unwrapped it, warning,

“The dead grass tastes a bit bitter.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao barked, grinning.

He wasn’t afraid of bitterness.

He stuffed the dead grass into his mouth and chewed it twice.

“Xunxun!”

The next second, Little Xunbao’s face changed drastically, and he quickly spat out the dead grass.

It was so bitter!

Still feeling unsatisfied, he uttered two more “Pah.”

The two men and their pets all looked over.

I told you the Night Ring King couldn’t absorb it… Mikaela thought to herself.

“You can absorb it with something more palatable,” Qiao Sang said.

Little Xunbao made a bitter face and was about to say he didn’t want to absorb the Death Grass, saying it was too bitter.

But then, Qingbao burst into laughter:

“Qingqing!”

Hahaha, you’re afraid of bitterness!

Little Xunbao immediately swallowed his words and called out defiantly:

“Xunxun!”

He wasn’t afraid of the bitterness; he just didn’t think the Death Grass tasted as good as it smelled.

“Ya Ya…”

Yabao called out while eating an energy pill, implying that if you find it bitter, forget about absorbing it and come and eat the energy pill.

Little Xunbao’s eyes lit up and he was about to agree when Qingbao called out again in a mocking tone:

“Qingqing.”

He was afraid of the bitterness but refused to admit it. Who knew that he’d put the Death Grass in his mouth and then spit it out, complaining about its bitterness?

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao pouted, looking at the Death Grass scattered on the ground. With a determined heart, he grabbed handfuls and stuffed them into his mouth.

As it stuffed its food, it stubbornly called out to Qingbao,

“Xunxun, ugh…”

See? It’s not afraid of bitterness…

Qingbao fell silent as he watched little Xunbao nibble on the dead grass, feeling nauseous and tears welling in his eyes.

It seemed the grass was truly bitter…

Qiao Sang couldn’t bear to watch it any longer. From the pile of fruit that little Xunbao had previously taken out, he picked out a few sweet ones and handed them over, saying,

“Take some sweet to calm the taste.”

Little Xunbao tried to take them, but then noticed Qingbao staring at him. He quickly retracted his outstretched paw, turned his head to the side, and called out,

“Xunxun!”

It’s not bitter! It won’t eat!

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang glanced at Qingbao beside him, realizing something.

“I’m not saying it’s bitter, it’s the dead grass that’s a little hard to eat. You can try it with these fruit. It’ll be easier to swallow.”

Little Xunbao stole a glance at Qingbao. Seeing that Qingbao stopped mocking him, he resisted the urge to immediately take the fruit. With a look of “Okay,” he took the fruit and took a bite.

The sweet taste flooded his mouth, and little Xunbao couldn’t resist any longer. He grabbed the fruit and devoured it in a few bites.

For the next few minutes, little Xunbao ate a bite of dead grass, then a fruit, then another bite of dead grass, then a fruit…

His expression was agonized, and he occasionally burped.

Although Night Ring King seemed playful, his willpower far surpassed other pets in certain areas… Mikaela glanced at little Xunbao and sighed.

Time slipped slowly.

Before he knew it, two days had passed.

Gangbao swallowed the last of the Hundred Wind Fruit, burped, and called out,

“Steel Chief.”

It was finished.

Qiao Sang observed Gangbao and said,

“It seems these Hundred Wind Fruits aren’t enough for your complete evolution. I’ll go find the key to the Sound Pan Spirit.”

Mikaela, who was meditating, opened her eyes and said, “No need. The Sound Master Birds have already delivered the Hundred Wind Fruits.”

Qiao Sang, sensing something, looked up.

She saw a large flock of Sound Master Birds flying towards them, carrying Hundred Wind Fruits in their beaks.

Qiao Sang smiled and said, “It seems being monitored by the Sound Master Birds these past two days has been beneficial. It saves me a trip.”

She had sensed that wherever she went these past few days, there was always one or more Sound Master Birds watching her.

Soon, the Sound Master Birds dropped off the Hundred Wind Fruits and flew away, flapping their wings.

Gangbao continued to eat, one Hundred Wind Fruit at a time.

Not far away, Little Xunbao, with a pale face, was also absorbing the Dead Spirit Grass.

Although the energy in its body increased after absorbing it, it was like it was eating a poison that would dissipate the energy, and its face became worse and worse.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Another day passed, and Gangbao suddenly stopped eating the Hundred Wind Fruit and called out in his mind:

“Steel Chieftain.”

I feel like I’m about to evolve.

Qiao Sang quickly entered the Beast Taming Codex and turned to the page about Gangbao.

[Name: Steel Chieftain Kane]

[Attributes: Steel, Flying]

[Level: King Level (9999995/10000000)+]

Only 5 points short… Qiao Sang’s heart moved, and he immediately thought of something. He didn’t add the points immediately, but returned to reality, looked at Xiao Xunbao, and said:

“Xunbao, don’t absorb it yet, take out the Dull Stone.”

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao took off the ring, enlarged it, and numbly put his head in.

Michaela realized something and asked, “Is Gangbao about to evolve?”

Qiao Sang hummed, “Gang Bao just said he felt like he was about to evolve.”

Mikaela cautiously said, “We still need to test his energy.”

Actually, there was no need for a test. After the Dull Stone gnawed on it, Gang Bao should evolve immediately… Qiao Sang nodded, “Understood.”

While the Dull Stone didn’t increase his energy, as a rare treasure, it would certainly increase his pet’s energy somewhat, at least five points.

As they talked, Xiao Xunbao took out the Dull Stone and placed it on the ground.

Gang Bao looked at his beastmaster.

Qiao Sang nodded at him.

Gang Bao looked at the Dull Stone on the ground and opened his mouth.

At the same moment, a massive black shadow, fifty meters tall and identical to Gang Bao’s outline, suddenly appeared and bit down at the Dull Stone below.

With a snap, the Dull Stone was easily shattered.

Soon, Gang Bao had completely swallowed the Dull Stone.

Mikaela began, “Now we can test the energy…” but

her voice trailed off.

A dazzling white light had already appeared on the body of the Steel Treasure in front of him.

This time, it was a complete evolution… Qiao Sang looked at the white light in front of him, and his heartbeat inevitably quickened for a moment. (End of this chapter)
