Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1288
1288. Chapter 1283 Rebirth Characteristics (Two in One)
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
“When did you find out?” Qiao Sang asked with surprise.
“While Gangbao was absorbing the Natural Elephant Fruit,” Mikaela said, “Even though Peng Jiamei can’t go down, locating the pet egg shouldn’t be a problem.”
“So what kind of pet egg is that?” Qiao Sang asked curiously, “It’s amazing that it can survive at the bottom of the Void Cliff.”
Mikaela was silent for two seconds, then said,
“You can’t tell what kind of egg it is from the outside.”
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Why?”
Each species’ pet egg has a unique appearance. Even if some species’ pet eggs look similar, they can be easily identified through professional identification. Teacher Mikaela is an S-level Beast Tamer and has a wide range of knowledge. It shouldn’t be impossible for him to recognize a pet egg.
Mikala said in a deep voice, “Because that pet has been petrified.”
Qiao Sang was stunned again. “Petrified?”
Mikala hummed. “There’s only one pet egg at the bottom of the entire Void Cliff, so there’s no chance of mistaking it.”
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but wonder, “If it’s petrified, then this pet egg would be older than Yin Panling. It’s never been down there, so how could it know there’s a pet egg beneath the Void Cliff?”
“Even if it’s petrified, it can’t withstand the explosion caused by spatial instability.” Mikala said slowly, “That’s probably not a pet egg that petrified naturally, but one that was petrified by an unnatural power.”
Qiao Sang was stunned, her mind flashing through countless pets with the ability to petrify.
After about five or six seconds, she hesitated and said, “Could it be a Stone Armor Giant?”
The Stone Armor Giant, an ancient emperor-level pet, is innately endowed with the ability to petrify its targets. It’s said that targets it petrifies are incredibly hard and indestructible. She had seen one at the Tenth Seat gathering.
“That’s a possibility,” Mikala said.
The only pet beast she could think of that possessed the ability to petrify, and whose petrified targets would be impervious to destruction, was the Stone Armor Giant.
“Why don’t we check with Yin Panling?” Qiao Sang suggested.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Peng Jiamei, but the next trip to the Void Cliff wouldn’t be easy. If they finally managed to retrieve the pet beast egg, only to bring the wrong one, it would be a real hassle.
“No need to go find Yin Panling,” Mikaela said calmly. “The Rain Prayer Phoenix knows it so well, it must know what pet beast egg it’s looking for.”
…
“Pray for rain.”
The Rain Prayer Phoenix flapped its wings and chirped, indicating it didn’t know.
“How could you not know?” Qiao Sang asked.
As a qualified lickspittle, shouldn’t she know every detail of her goddess’ affairs?
“Pray for rain,”
the Rain Prayer Phoenix chirped, indicating that when it met Yin Panling, the pet beast egg was already beneath the Void Cliff. Otherwise, Yin Panling wouldn’t have considered living in Yin Bird Valley.
Qiao Sang was surprised and said in astonishment, “Is Yin Panling living in Yin Bird Valley because of that pet egg?”
Isn’t it said that Yin Bird Valley’s environment is perfect for Yinshi Birds, which is why Yin Panling went there to fight Qiyufeng?
Mikaela glanced over, her eyes equally surprised.
“Qiyu…”
Qiyufeng nodded, her mind replaying the scene of her first encounter with Yin Panling. A mesmerized expression formed as she began to reminisce.
It was a truly wonderful day. I…
“Guess I need to confirm with Yin Panling,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Teacher Mikaela.
Qiyufeng: “…”
Mikaela said nothing, but instead winked at Peng Jiamei, toward the window.
Peng Jiamei looked toward the window, her eyes aglow with blue light.
The curtains suddenly swung open under invisible control.
“Yinshi!”
Then, a scream echoed, and a controlled Yinshi Bird whizzed through the window.
Qiao Sang’s expression remained unchanged as she watched this.
She had long known that a Yinshi Bird was following her outside.
The blue light in Peng Jiamei’s eyes faded.
The Sound Master Bird, caught off guard, fell to the ground.
However, it quickly recovered, flapping its wings and soaring to the side of the Rain Prayer Phoenix. It called out in a timid voice,
“Sound Master!”
You, what do you want to do? I was sent by the King!
The King… probably referring to Yin Panling… Qiao Sang smiled sociably. “I just wanted to ask you to tell Yin Panling that we’re going down the Void Cliff to retrieve the pet egg. But before we go, I’d like to speak with her in person to confirm what the pet egg looks like, to ensure we don’t make the mistake.”
“Sound Master.”
The Sound Master Bird paused for a moment, then nodded, flapping its wings and flying out the window.
About twenty minutes later, there were two knocks on the window.
Qiao Sang turned and saw that it was Yin Panling.
She’d assumed Yin Panling would send a message through the Yinshi Bird, agreeing on a time and place, but she hadn’t expected him to come all the way, and so quickly. It seemed the pet egg was truly important to him… And if it weren’t, he wouldn’t have been so generous to give Gangbao so many Hundred Wind Fruits and two Natural Elephant Fruits… Qiao Sang’s surprise gave way to understanding, and she stood up and went to open the window.
Meanwhile, Qi Yufeng saw Yin Panling’s eyes light up outside the window, a look of joy on her face.
Then, an idea struck her, and she flapped her wings in a hurry toward the bathroom.
Qiao Sang opened the window.
Yin Panling flew in, a serious expression on her face, and called out,
“Yin Pan?”
Are you guys planning to descend the Void Cliff?
Mikaela gestured to Peng Jiamei to translate.
Qiao Sang replied, “Yes, we’re planning to descend the Void Cliff soon.”
“Yin Pan?”
“Yin Pan?”
Yin Panling glanced in Gangbao’s direction, a puzzled expression on her face. She called out twice, indicating that she had just absorbed energy and officially awakened. Don’t you guys spend time training your defense?
“No need,” Qiao Sang said, “because I’m going to let Qingbao go down to get the pet egg.”
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao floated forward and called out sweetly, indicating that I am Qingbao.
Yin Panling looked at Qingbao, looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze for several times, and called out:
“Yin Pan?”
Does it have any special abilities?
Qiao Sang nodded at Qing Bao.
“Qing Qing,”
Qing Bao called out.
The next second, a gust of wind suddenly appeared, swirling around Yin Pan Ling and blowing it high into the sky.
Yin Pan Ling, feeling the sudden gust of wind, froze for a moment before his eyes suddenly lit up and he called out,
“Yin Pan?”
Can you control the wind?
As an Emperor-level pet, it was easy to discern that this wind wasn’t controlled by energy or skills, but was generated naturally.
“Qing Qing,”
Qing Bao nodded.
“Yin Pan?”
Yin Pan Ling looked at Qing Bao again with curiosity, then thought of something and called out doubtfully. “
Can you control the wind to the bottom of the cliff?”
Before Qing Bao could reply, Qi Yu Feng called out,
“Qi Yu.”
Just trust this human. She also has a ghost-type pet that can penetrate shadows, so controlling the wind to the bottom of the void cliff will be no problem. Yin
Pan Ling, Qiao Sang, and Mikaela looked in the direction of the sound.
The Rain-Praying Phoenix flew out of the bathroom, shook its head, and crystal clear water droplets fell from it, looking extremely coquettish.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Michaela: “…”
Yin Panling seemed unfazed, her expression unchanged.
Her gaze swept around, finally landing on Xiao Xunbao.
“Xunxun…”
Xiao Xunbao, recalling the moment they’d first met, when he’d uncontrollably teleported towards Yin Panling, silently drifted to Yabao’s side.
While Gangbao might be the strongest in terms of pure energy, the sense of security Yabao offered him was far greater than Gangbao’s.
“Yinpan?”
Yin Panling retracted her gaze, her expression becoming more serious. She called out, “What did you want to ask me?
” After confirming that the other party possessed a pet capable of controlling wind and penetrating shadows, she knew her chances of obtaining the pet egg had greatly increased.
“Qiyu…”
Qiyufeng, seeing Yin Panling’s immediate absence of attention, let out a look of disappointment.
“My teacher found a pet egg beneath the Void Cliff,” Qiao Sang said. “But that pet egg was petrified, so I wanted to confirm with you if it was this one.”
Yin Panling suddenly glanced at Mikala.
Noticing Yin Panling’s gaze, Mikala smiled faintly.
She understood what Qiao Sang was saying, and knew why Yin Panling was looking at her.
“Yin Pan.”
Yin Panling took a deep breath and nodded seriously.
This is it.
Peng Jiamei continued translating.
“Why is the pet egg petrified?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.
“Yin Pan.”
Yin Panling was silent for two seconds, then cried out, indicating that it was because it was a Stone Armor Giant pet egg.
Qiao Sang: “!!!!”
Qiao Sang was shocked.
She had thought it was a pet egg petrified by the Stone Armor Giant, but she had never thought it was a Stone Armor Giant pet egg!
The Stone Armor Giant is an ancient pet, and the only information circulated is its fossilized appearance after resurrection, not any pictures of the pet egg. No wonder Teacher Mikala didn’t recognize it.
Just as Qiao Sang was stunned, Peng Jiamei finished translating.
Mikala: “!!!!”
Mikala’s expression finally revealed shock.
“How do you know it’s a Stone Armor Giant pet egg?” Qiao Sang demanded.
Seeing the other party’s chances of obtaining a pet egg, Yin Panling didn’t hold back, telling the story:
“Yin Pan.”
“Yin Pan.”
“Yin Pan…”
Qiao Sang imagined the corresponding scene from Yin Panling’s narration.
A hundred years ago, a global drought struck. Yin Panling, then a general-level pet, had no water and was dying of thirst, so he fainted in the woods.
When he woke up, he found a stone giant feeding him water.
They became friends, traveling together to search for water, and had a wonderful time together.
One day, they found themselves at the foot of a cliff, now known as the Void Cliff.
Suddenly, a rift in space appeared
. Before Yin Panling could realize what was happening, the stone giant’s face changed drastically.
Then, Yin Panling felt her entire body suddenly turn to stone. The stone giant grabbed her and threw her over the cliff.
Despite being petrified, Yin Panling clearly saw the space below explode, and the Stone Armor Giant was shattered into pieces in the blast…
“Wait,” Qiao Sang interrupted, his imagination finishing. “It was already blown to pieces, so how did it become a pet egg?”
What did “blown to pieces” mean? Mikaela was still listening to Peng Jiamei’s translation. She pretended to be listening, but inside she was feeling anxious.
In the past, when she was with others, she always listened to her pet’s translation, so she didn’t feel anything.
Now, Qiao Sang was communicating with her pet before her own pet finished translating, and she felt strangely excluded.
If she could achieve another breakthrough in the Beast Taming Code, she would definitely contract a small steel falcon! Mikaela thought to herself.
“Yin Pan,”
Yin Panling called out, indicating that the Stone Armor Giant had told it that it possessed the ability to regenerate, and even if it died, it could transform into an egg and be reborn.
Qiao Sang’s eyes widened in astonishment. “There’s such a ability?!”
“What kind of ability?” Mikaela couldn’t help but ask before Peng Jiamei finished translating.
“Rebirth!” Qiao Sang’s voice rose. “Yin Panling said the Stone Armor Giant possesses a rebirth trait! Even after death, it can be reborn as a pet egg!”
Mikaela pondered for a few seconds, then nodded.
“Yes, it does. It’s said that even if a pet with this trait dies, it can be reborn as a pet egg, and upon hatching, it will retain all its previous memories.”
“However, the number of rebirths varies depending on the level of the pet’s trait. And even after rebirth, its talent will be reduced, and its evolutionary limit will be reduced by one level.”
“With each rebirth, its evolutionary limit decreases by one level. “
This means that even if a Stone Armor Giant, originally capped at Emperor level, were to hatch from a pet egg and utilize its previous training experience to develop, it could only evolve to Emperor level at most.
“Being able to regenerate is truly impressive…” Qiao Sang exclaimed sincerely.
Then a thought struck her, and she looked stunned again. She asked,
“A hundred years ago? The Stone Armor Giant spent about a hundred years beneath the Void Cliff without hatching?”
“Yin Pan,”
Yin Panling called out, indicating that it didn’t know.
Mikaela thought for a moment and said in a deep voice,
“It’s possible that the Stone Armor Giant died several times during this period. This may be because it has turned into a pet egg countless times.”
Yin Panling’s face suddenly turned pale.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Teacher, although this may be the truth, you saying it so bluntly might scare Yin Panling to death… Qiao Sang saw that Yin Panling’s expression was not good, and quickly comforted her,
“This is just a guess. The most urgent thing now is to get the Stone Armor Giant’s pet up from the Void Cliff as soon as possible.”
“Yin Pan?”
Yin Panling’s expression returned to calm, and she called out, asking when are you going?
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said,
“Now.”
Originally, she was worried that the wind would blow up the pet egg and the space would suddenly explode, destroying the pet egg. But now that she knew it was a giant stone-armored pet egg and that it had been there for a hundred years, she knew that the pet would not be easily destroyed.
In this case, there was no need to waste time.
Mikaela listened to Peng Jiamei’s translation and Qiao Sang’s words without saying a word, which was considered as her agreement with the decision.
“Yin Pan.”
Yin Panling’s eyes flashed with excitement, but she still called out in a calm tone, indicating that she would go with them.
“Qi Yu!”
Qi Yu Feng heard this and quickly called out, indicating that it would go too.
“Then let’s all go together.” Qiao Sang said.
After that, she looked at Xiao Xunbao.
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao received the look in his beastmaster’s eyes, understood what it meant, and his eyes glowed blue.
The next second, the two and the pets disappeared in the room. (End of this chapter)
