Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1294

1294. Chapter 1289: The Country of the Flails (Two in One)

Qiao Sang: “???”

Qingbao quickly drifted away from Xiaoxunbao.

Xiaoxunbao blinked innocently as he ate the cursed crystal.

Calm down, calm down. Xiaoxunbao would have to eat the cursed crystal sooner or later. This situation was inevitable. Even if he couldn’t control himself and cast the curse, Yabao was still there… Qiao Sang consoled himself and asked, “How long will this situation last?”

“That depends on the strength of the curse of the ghost-type pet that condensed the cursed crystal,” Mikaela replied.

That was unknown… Qiao Sang looked at Xiaoxunbao and warned him earnestly,

“If you truly can’t control the curse and cast a curse on us, you must tell us.”

The curse of the Xiaoxunbao Club is a curse of bad luck. If you were to be cursed unintentionally, you would definitely suffer for a long time. He had to hurry and complete the mission assessment; he couldn’t make any mistakes at this crucial moment.

“Xunxun~”

Xiaoxunbao swallowed the cursed crystal and patted his chest with a confident cry, indicating that he would control the curse and would never curse you.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao gave a look of disbelief.

“What are you feeling inside right now?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao felt it for a moment, then suddenly clutched his chest with a pained expression.

I’ve never heard of using a cursed crystal causing pain… Michaela’s expression darkened upon seeing this.

Qiao Sang was startled and quickly asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Bingdi.”

Lubao poked his head out of his backpack, staring at little Xunbao, and began to circulate his energy.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao’s eyes flashed with worry.

Yabao listened to the movement within him and slowed down his flight.

Just then, little Xunbao’s pained expression faded, and he looked at Qingbao with a wicked laugh.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao, terrified, quickly floated to his beastmaster’s side and barked, signaling that he was going to curse me!

“Xunxun!”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao’s wicked expression vanished upon seeing this, and he lay on top of Yabao, clutching his stomach, rolling around and laughing.

So funny!

Your reaction is so funny!

You can’t even tell I’m lying!

“Gis!”

“Gis!”

The Gis egg, caught by Xunbao’s laughter, rolled along with it, laughing.

Qiao Sang: “…”

It seems nothing’s wrong… Mikaela breathed a sigh of relief.

Lubao’s expression was speechless, the faint blue light that had just appeared on his forehead vanished, and his head sank back into the backpack.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao realized he’d been tricked, his forehead veins bulging, his face darkening completely, and he cried out through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, a fierce wind surged around them.

“Gis!”

The Gis egg was blown away, its laughter turning into a scream.

A flash of purple light streaked through the air, and Gangbao caught it steadily.

“Xunxun!”

Xunbao finally realized he’d gone too far with his joke, and he floated up and shouted, explaining that it was just a joke.

Qingbao said nothing.

The surrounding wind continued to sweep towards Xunbao.

“Xunxun!”

Xunbao screamed, teleporting.

The wind chased after him relentlessly.

Yabao realized that little Xunbao was alright and sped up.

High in the sky, a dazzling crimson figure raced, while a small black figure, for some reason, screamed and teleported beside it.

This scene drew curious glances from passing flying pets and people. Some, intrigued, sat on their flying pets and pulled out their phones to film the scene. But as soon as they pulled their phones out, the dazzling crimson and the screaming black figure had vanished.

Half an hour later.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao, sprawled on Yabao’s body, panted and called out, acknowledging his mistake.

“Qingqing,”

Qingbao snorted coldly.

Simultaneously, the gust of wind around them vanished.

“We’re here,” Mikaela said.

Qiao Sang looked down, gazing at the dazzling lights of countless homes below.

Occasionally, a few flying pets flew by, each wearing luminous items or clothing.

“This city gets dark earlier than other places,” Qiao Sang sighed.

On Flame Sky Star, the days are longer than the nights, and it’s generally still light around 7 or 8 p.m., but here, it’s already completely dark by 7 p.m.

“It’s said that’s because there are more ghost-type pets here than in other countries,” Mikaela said.

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up. “That’s great! This will give us more help in finding the Hidden Ghost Grass.”

Mikaela glanced at her. “Don’t forget what I said before.”

“I know,” Qiao Sang replied. “I’ll try to find a higher-level ghost-type pet to help with the search.”

Higher-level pets tend to have better self-control than lower-level ones.

“Rather than looking at rank, it’s better to look at the species’ habits and characteristics,” Mikala said. “For example, there’s a ghost-type pet called the Stubborn Spirit. They’re stubborn, but once they promise something, they’ll definitely follow through.”

“I see.” Qiao Sang suddenly thought, “Why are there so many ghost-type pets here compared to other places?”

Pets generally stay in their own comfortable places. Ghost-type pets prefer to appear when there’s strong yin energy or at night. Logically, the long nights here should be the reason ghost-type pets are more plentiful.

But what Mikala just said was that the more ghost-type pets here, the longer nights. This chronological order is a bit strange.

“The Jia Kingdom of Yantian Star once produced a beastmaster who won third place in the Interstellar Cup. Her signature pet was a ghost-type,” Mikala said. “Ever since then, ghost-type pets have become very popular in Jia Kingdom.”

“To make ghost-type pets more comfortable, the Jia Nation often uses weather-related abilities to bring on night earlier.”

So that’s how it is… Qiao Sang thought to himself.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao perked up at the words and barked. He was just third place in the StarCraft Cup, so what good could this offer?

“That’s third place in the StarCraft Cup,” Qiao Sang said with a smile. “If a country has a beastmaster selected to compete in the StarCraft Cup, everyone in the country will definitely skip work to watch. If they can achieve a good finish in the StarCraft Cup, it’s not impossible for the entire nation to take a few days off.”

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao’s eyes lit up as he listened.

Soon, Yabao arrived above a five-star hotel.

Ever since traveling with Xia Lala, Mikaela’s accommodations had never disappointed.

As soon as the two and their pets entered the hotel, they felt a stream of gazes directed at them—from the staff and guests in the lobby.

Even on the pet-saturated Yantian Star, an imperial-level pet was a powerful presence. Everyone had seen Yabao descend from the sky.

With that size and that aura, it was undoubtedly a royal-level pet.

When checking in, the front desk clerk was extremely respectful, fearing even the slightest mistake.

Led by the staff, the two of them and their pets crossed the lobby, took the elevator, and headed straight to the presidential suite.

“If you need anything, feel free to let us know,” the staff member said respectfully. “Around two or three in the evening, ghost-type pets may enter. Don’t panic. They’re usually young and lost. You can take photos, and if they disturb your sleep, feel free to contact us.”

Taking photos… Qiao Sang raised his eyebrows and said,

“I understand.”

While wild ghost-type pets might intrude, the situation was somewhat different from that on Super Star.

Ghostly pets are popular in Jia Country, and a large portion of tourists come here solely to see the unseen ghostly pets.

The sight of stray ghostly pups wandering into the hotel at night is a hallmark of the hotel, with many people coming specifically to check in and take photos, staying up all night just to capture this spectacle.

The staff respectfully withdrew and closed the door.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao removed the ring and pulled out the necessary items.

“First, get the energy detector out,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out, then buried his head in the ring and, moments later, retrieved the energy detector.

“Qingbao, let’s check the energy,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Qingbao.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao floated over and obediently sat beside his beastmaster.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao smoothly attached the energy detector’s cable to Qingbao’s body.

Qingbao cooperated without moving.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang seized the opportunity to enter the Beast Taming Codex and quickly upgraded Qingbao’s Magic Sparkle to the ultimate level.

Of all Qingbao’s skills now, only Magic Sparkle was closest to the ultimate level, so it wouldn’t waste too many points.

Qiao Sang then added points to Qingbao’s level, stopping only when he was just one point away from the maximum level.

His most important task next was the A-level Professional Beast Tamer assessment. At this point, he wanted to improve his pet’s strength as quickly as possible.

After Qingbao evolved, he would undoubtedly awaken at least two high-level skills. Then, taking the Demonic Fruit would increase the probability of awakening a super-level skill…

After Qingbao evolved, he would also test Xiao Xunbao’s energy. If it stabilized at the mid-king level, he could take the King Energy Potion… Qiao Sang pondered as his consciousness returned to reality.

In reality, the energy test had completed, and the data was frozen on the display.

Mikaela stared at the data displayed, stunned for a moment, muttering to himself, “General level cap…”

“Qingbao’s energy has reached the General level cap! It can evolve!” Qiao Sang feigned surprise as he looked at the data on the screen.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao didn’t know the General level energy cap, but as he listened to the conversation, he knew he could evolve. A burst of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he cried out.

Simultaneously, a gust of joy swept around him.

“Xun…”

Little Xunbao was initially happy for Qingbao, but then a thought struck him, and his joy suddenly vanished, his expression becoming dazed.

Laowu was evolving?

Wouldn’t that mean it would soon be at the same level as him?

It seemed the Fairy Silk contained so much energy that it could reach the General level cap so quickly… After convincing himself, Mikaela let out a slow breath, his eyes lighting up. He quickly said,

“I’ll contact Jacqueline right away.”

He then pulled out his phone.

She realized what was coming next.

“Bring out the Fairy Spirit Jade,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Little Xunbao.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao removed the ring and, somewhat reluctantly, pulled out the box containing the Fairy Jade. “

Give it to you…” Qingbao snatched the box, eagerly opened it, and plunged his claws inside.

Just as he was about to touch the Fairy Jade, he paused and looked at his Beastmaster.

Qiao Sang nodded at him.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao smiled and took the Fairy Jade.

A bright white light flashed.

Qiao Sang’s consciousness quickly entered the Beastmaster’s Codex and added the last digit after the level.

Little Xunbao looked at the bright white light and sighed deeply.

Then a thought struck him. He floated to Lubao’s side, a flicker of sympathy in his eyes, and called out,

“Xunxun…”

Laowu had reached King level so quickly. It seemed so easy for him to evolve…

“Ice Emperor,”

Lubao called out calmly.

Because his Beastmaster didn’t need to search for the materials for his evolution.

After saying this, it added a soothing voice:

“Ice Emperor.”

You don’t have to worry too much, your own beastmaster has already collected all the materials for your next evolution.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao made an expression of “That’s right,” and then looked at Lubao, his sympathy turning into sympathy.

He remembered that Lubao’s evolutionary path was the most difficult…

Thinking of this, Little Xunbao patted Lubao’s shoulder to show his comfort.

Lubao glanced at Little Xunbao calmly.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao showed an embarrassed expression and quickly retracted his claws.

Lubao looked away.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao looked at Lubao with a puzzled expression and called out, saying that Lao Wu’s level was about to catch up with us, aren’t you sad?

“Ice Emperor.”

Lubao looked at the white light and called out calmly.

Why should I be sad? We are all companions.

Little Xunbao stared at Lubao in a daze.

It felt like the other had really changed…

In its impression, Lubao was always strong-willed. If it were the Lubao from before, she’d definitely be even happier than it is now…

We’re all companions… Little Xunbao looked at the evolving white light before him, and thinking about this, he felt strangely relieved.

“Tingting?”

Tingbao called out, questioningly.

After Qingbao evolved, will his level be the same as yours, boss?

Little Xunbao: “…”

Before Little Xunbao could reply, Tingbao called out again:

“Tingting?”

I saw Qingbao chase you and fight you when he was lower level than you. If his level is the same as yours, boss, won’t you be beaten?

In Tingbao’s impression, Qingbao’s Feng chased the boss almost every day, and the boss was always running away, just like tonight on the way to Jia Country.

“Xunxun…”

As if an arrow pierced his heart, little Xunbao knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with his claws.

It was really sad…

“Ya Ya.”

Yabao called out seriously from the side, saying that it was just little Xunbao and Qingbao playing together before. With little Xunbao’s current strength, even if Qingbao evolved, little Xunbao would definitely be stronger.

“Tingting.”

Tingbao showed an expression of “I see.”

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao raised his head and looked at Yabao with a touching face.

Big brother Yabao… (End of this chapter)
