Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1274

1274. Chapter 1269 Let Qi Yufeng Follow? (Two in One)

A nearby tree saw this and flapped its wings to soar high into the sky.

Lu Bao glanced at the bird’s retreating form, then looked away.

“Looks like the energy detector is no longer necessary,” Mikaela said with a sigh. “Gangbao’s absorption of the Hundred Wind Fruit is much better than I expected.”

Not all pets can fully absorb energy-rich foods. The effect varies depending on the pet’s talents and constitution.

How could it be bad? With the cheat code, every Hundred Wind Fruit it eats is fully absorbed… Qiao Sang also sighed with emotion.

“Yeah, I thought it had to consume all the Hundred Wind Fruit here before it could evolve.”

Mikaela remembered something and pulled out her phone. “I’ll contact Jacqueline first,”

she said, dialing the number.

After two beeps, the call quickly connected.

“Are you free now? Gangbao is fully evolving. I need to come over to check on him and prepare new energy pills… You might need to come yourself… I’m in the Sound Bird Valley on Bird Island. You need to apply to enter…”

Mikaela continued on the phone.

During the call, the outline of the white light gradually grew larger, finally stopping at a distance of over forty meters.

The light dissipated.

A giant pet appeared on the grass, its feathers predominantly purple, glossy and as hard as steel. Its wings, edged in crimson, resembled giant blades. Its head was covered in an angular silver helmet, revealing a pair of dark red eyes. Its neck, shoulders, and abdomen were covered in silver armor, and its crimson claws were bordered by silver stripes.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao looked up at the fully evolved Gangbao. His eyes lit up at first, then a thought struck him. He turned and floated over to the dead grass. He took a deep breath, picked it up, closed his eyes, and with a look of “I’m going all in,” he stuffed the dead grass into his mouth.

The fourth child had already fully evolved; he needed to evolve and become stronger soon!

But the next second, Little Xunbao let out a groan.

“Congratulations on your evolution,” Qiao Sang said in his heart, looking up at the evolved Gangbao with a smile in his eyes.

“Gang Quan.”

In his mind, Gang Bao responded with a smile, then slowly shrank until it resembled its primary form.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao, his face full of fighting spirit, called out impatiently.

“Gang Quan.”

Gang Bao was silent for a moment, then a troubled expression flashed across his face.

He needed to hurry up and absorb energy and improve his proficiency in Absolute Defense.

Qiao Sang echoed, “Yes, your battle won’t be over for a while. Let’s wait until the pet egg under the Void Cliff is retrieved.”

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao thought about it, thinking it made sense, and called out, suggesting that they wait until the pet egg is retrieved before fighting again.

“Gang Quan.”

Gang Bao nodded, agreeing.

During their conversation, Mikaela hung up the phone and said, “I’ve already contacted Jacqueline. We should talk to Yin Panling. It’s best to leave the valley and come back when we’re about to descend the Void Cliff. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult to train.”

Qiao Sang was about to speak when she suddenly sensed something and looked up.

A streak of white light descended rapidly from the sky, landing on the ground and revealing the figure of Yin Panling.

“Yin Pan,”

Yin Panling glanced at Gang Bao, sizing him up. A satisfied expression flashed through her, and she chirped, expressing her appreciation for the rapid evolution.

“It’s mainly because you gave him enough Hundred Wind Fruit,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

She wasn’t surprised that Yin Pan Bird had arrived so soon after Gang Bao’s evolution, given the constant monitoring of Yin Shi Birds.

“But even if he evolved to the Imperial level, Gang Bao’s defenses wouldn’t allow him to reach the bottom of the Void Cliff,” Qiao Sang continued.

This meant that the resources needed for an Imperial level pet would have to be brought in.

While Imperial-level flying pets could use Hundred Wind Fruit, the effect was no longer as strong. Even if the quantity of Hundred Wind Fruit sent previously was multiplied tenfold, it wouldn’t be enough to propel a junior Imperial-level flying pet to the Intermediate level.

“Yin Pan,”

Yin Panling looked at Qiao Sang and chirped.

This time, she had come to deliver Imperial-level resources.

With that, she extended her right wing.

Two green berries with thorns on their surfaces suddenly appeared before her eyes.

What was this? Qiao Sang stared at the berries before her, but no information about them immediately came to mind.

“Ran Xiang Fruit?” Mikaela exclaimed in surprise.

“Ran Xiang Fruit?” Qiao Sang was bewildered.

She was certain she had never seen this berry in a book before.

“It’s a berry that significantly increases the energy of flying pets. It’s said that even an emperor-level flying pet will see a significant boost if it eats it,” Mikaela explained with a complicated expression. “It also significantly increases proficiency in weather-related skills. It’s a relatively rare berry.”

She had never expected Yin Panling to be so generous as to hand out two Ran Xiang Fruits.

Such a rare berry… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and she asked, “Only two?”

“Yin Pan,”

Yin Panling glanced at her and called out softly.

Just these two berries would bring this little creature to the mid-emperor level.

Two Ranxiang Fruits could actually boost him directly to the mid-level Imperial level. Yin Panling seems to have quite a few goodies… Qiao Sang feigned hesitation, saying,

“But even at the mid-level Imperial level, Gangbao’s defense still wouldn’t allow him to descend the Void Cliff. My teacher and I explored that area, and even a substitute for an Emperor-level pet couldn’t last more than two seconds.”

As she spoke, she quickly reached out to take the Ranxiang Fruit.

Upon hearing this, Dragon King Peng Jiamei glanced at him with a look of “Brother, you’re so weak!” “

You’re just an Emperor, and you dare call me weak…” Peng Jiamei remained calm, pretending not to notice Dragon King’s expression.

“Gangquan.”

Gangbao nodded in agreement with his own Beastmaster.

“Yin Pan,”

Yin Panling called out calmly, confirming that she had provided all the necessary resources. Whether the defense could be improved was up to you. Don’t forget your promise to it; you only have six months.

With that, he lifted his wings, preparing to depart.

Qiao Sang quickly changed the subject, saying, “I’ll improve our defenses, but we want to live outside. The environment here is so good, and regular training would likely cause massive damage.”

Yin Panling glanced at Yabao and the others, nodded, and called out,

“Yin Pan.” “

Yes, but a pet must accompany you.

” “Okay,” Qiao Sang said without a second thought.

She had no problem with the Yinshi Bird watching over her; her real intention was simply to move to a different location for open training.

“Yin Pan!”

Yin Panling raised her head and suddenly called out.

Invisible sonic waves rippled out.

Soon, a blue light descended, transforming into the Rain-Praying Phoenix.

“Pray for rain!”

It spread its wings, looked at Yin Panling, and called out excitedly, its head leaning toward her.

“Yin Pan,”

Yin Panling raised her wings, calmly pushed its head away, and called out.

“Pray for rain?”

The Rain-Praying Phoenix was startled for a moment, looking at Qiao Sang and the others, as if only just realizing the presence of two people and a group of pets.

They actually asked Qi Yu Feng to follow them… Qiao Sang was a little confused after listening to the conversation. He wondered if Yin Panling and Qi Yu Feng were so close? How could such a small matter make Qi Yu Feng intervene?

“Qi Yu…”

As the thought flashed through her mind, Qi Yu Feng gave a weak cry, indicating that she didn’t want to go.

“Yin Pan.”

Yin Panling was not angry, but just gave a faint cry, indicating that it was okay not to go.

Just when Qiao Sang thought she would have to change a pet to monitor, Qi Yu Feng suddenly called out anxiously:

“Qi Yu!”

It goes! Why can’t it go!

Qiao Sang inexplicably saw the scent of a bootlicker in Qi Yu Feng.

“Yin Pan,”

Yin Panling called out, flapping its wings and flying high into the sky.

Qi Yufeng watched Yin Panling’s receding figure, a slightly melancholic expression on her face.

“What’s going on?” Mikaela, who hadn’t understood the entire thing, looked at Qi Yufeng, who remained behind, with a puzzled tone.

Qiao Sang immediately recounted how Yin Panling had asked Qi Yufeng to stay with them.

“Yin Panling asked Qi Yufeng to follow us?” Mikaela said in astonishment.

Qiao Sang hummed a “hmm.”

“Qi Yu?”

Qi Yufeng’s melancholic expression vanished, and she turned around and called out impatiently, asking if she had any objections.

Peng Jiamei calmly stepped forward, blocking her own beastmaster.

Qi Yufeng frowned.

The atmosphere was momentarily tense.

Qiao Sang, noticing the tension, smiled at Qi Yufeng and said, “Can you disguise yourself when you follow us? Otherwise, with your fame, we won’t be able to move around outside.” Qi Yufeng’s

expression softened, and she pressed down the corners of her mouth, calling out,

“Qi Yu.” “

I’m not a celebrity, how can I be unable to move around?”

“But Bird Island is your territory. Everyone knows you. If they see you, they’ll definitely come to watch,” Qiao Sang said.

“Qiyu,”

Qiyufeng curled her lips and called out, letting them know they wouldn’t dare to watch.

Qiao Sang naturally knew they wouldn’t dare to watch.

There’s a difference between a renowned beastmaster’s imperial pet and a wild one.

The former are bound by the beastmaster’s constraints, and everyone knows they won’t be attacked at will. The latter act entirely on their own whims, and if they’re not careful, they could be attacked.

He said this just to lighten the mood.

The atmosphere relaxed considerably. Qiyufeng called out, “Qiyu?”

When are you leaving?

“Right away,” Qiao Sang said, and then he said to Xiaoxunbao, “Xiaoxunbao, put the remaining Hundred Wind Fruit into the ring.”

“Xun, ah…”

Xiaoxunbao swallowed the dead spirit grass in his mouth, floated over with a grim expression, took off the ring, and put the Hundred Wind Fruit inside.

Soon, all the Hundred Wind Fruit were inside the ring.

Mikala nodded to Peng Jiamei.

Peng Jiamei’s eyes flashed blue, and she vanished with the others.

In a nearby tree, a music bird flapped its wings and soared high into the sky.

It flew through the woods and across the river, arriving at the edge of the cliffs of nothingness.

Meanwhile, Yin Panling was at the edge of the cliff, gazing down.

“Music Master,”

the music bird called out respectfully, signaling they had left.

“Yin Pan,”

Yin Panling chirped softly, confirming her understanding.

Then, a thought struck it, and it called out again, “Yin Pan,”

keeping a close eye on their movements.

“Music Master?”

the music bird called out with a puzzled expression. “

The rain-praying phoenix is already following us; do we still need them to go?”

“Yin Pan,”

Yin Panling called out calmly. “

I only wanted to get rid of it; I trust you.

” “Music Master!”

the music bird chirped, a look of emotion on its face, then flapped its wings and flew away.

Yin Panling gazed down the cliff, a touch of sadness in her eyes.

…

“Holy crap? That’s the Rain-Prayer Phoenix?!”

“It really looks like the Rain

-Prayer Phoenix!” “Why is the Rain-Prayer Phoenix here?!”

“Who are these two? How could they be walking with the Rain-Prayer Phoenix?”

Inside the hotel, Qiao Sang, Mikaela, and Yabao returned to their room, under the stunned gazes of everyone and their pets.

“Xunxun?”

After closing the door, little Xunbao couldn’t help but float over to the Rain-Prayer Phoenix and call out. “

Are you so popular?

” “Qiyu,”

the Rain-Prayer Phoenix called out. It wasn’t because it was popular, but because everyone was afraid of it.

“Xunxun~”

little Xunbao called out with an “I get it” expression.

Everyone must be afraid of you because you’re so powerful.

“Qiyu.”

The Rain-Prayer Phoenix looked at little Xunbao and called out in admiration, saying you’re quite clever.

“Xunxun~”

little Xunbao grinned and called out ingratiatingly, suggesting that since you’re so powerful, do you have any resources that a ghost-type pet could absorb?

“Pray for rain.”

Rain-Prayer Phoenix pondered for a moment, then called out, indicating that it knew of a place with Dead Spirit Grass, a substance that boosts the energy of ghost-type pets. If you’d like it…

It turned, only to find Xunbao several meters away, shaking its head in fear.

“Xunbao!”

It didn’t want it, it didn’t want it!

Strange creature… Rain-Prayer Phoenix said nothing more, surveying its next destination.

Mikala lowered her voice and asked, “What did Yin Panling say? She told Rain-Prayer Phoenix to follow us until we reached the Void Cliff?”

Qiao Sang nodded, “That seems to be the case.”

Mikala fell silent.

Her original intention was that the Void Cliff was too dangerous to avoid. Once Gangbao’s resources were absorbed, she would find a chance to escape, perhaps making amends to Yin Panling later.

Even then, though, Yin Panling would still be offended.

It wasn’t like there wasn’t a chance to leave under Qi Yufeng’s watchful eye, but doing so would mean offending two Emperor-level pets at once…

Mikaela gathered her thoughts, glanced at Qi Yufeng, and said, “I’ll let Jiu Bugu stay in your room with you.”

Qiao Sang immediately understood that Teacher Mikaela was worried about Qi Yufeng.

She paused for a moment, then said, “I think we should let Peng Jiamei stay.”

Mikaela refused, “No, Meimei likes to sleep, and sometimes she can’t react immediately to situations.”

Peng Jiamei didn’t say anything, which was considered as her agreement with her own beastmaster’s words.

Jiu Bugu has already reacted? Qiao Sang glanced at Jiu Bugu who was standing by the window looking up at the sky, full of loneliness.

But she didn’t say anything. Teacher Mikaela was worried about Qiyufeng. She was quite relieved about it after hearing the conversation between Qiyufeng and Xiao Xunbao.

After a few words, Mikaela took Peng Jiamei and the Dragon King back to her room.

Jiu Bugu continued to look up at the sky, not interested in the departure of his own beastmaster.

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something, and his consciousness entered the Beast Taming Code.

Eating the Blunt Stone before the pet is about to evolve can increase the probability of awakening a defensive skill. Gangbao has only evolved temporarily before, but this time it has evolved completely. Maybe there is a chance to awaken another defensive skill… (End of this chapter)
