Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1321

1321. Chapter 1316: Enemy Attack (Two in One)

After staring at the lake for more than ten seconds, Lubao opened his mouth and began to sing again:

“Bingbingbing~bingbing~bing~bing~bing~bing~”

Invisible sound waves rippled out.

The Gis Egg stopped rolling, his expression calm.

“Ice Emperor?”

Lubao stopped singing, turned around and called out, asking if he was still hungry.

“Gis.”

The Gis Egg felt it and shook his head honestly.

Not hungry.

“Ice Emperor?” Lubao   called out with

a puzzled expression.

“Then why were you crying just now?

” “Gis.”

“Gis.” The Gis Egg called out calmly.   He missed Qiao Sang, Xiao Xunbao, Xianxianpu, Tingbao, Yabao, Qingbao, and the others, as well as his beastmaster.   Lubao fell silent.   ”Bingdi.”   After about two seconds, Lubao called out calmly, indicating that we would see them soon.   ”Gis,”   the Gis Egg called out.   But half a month felt so long.   ”Ice Emperor,”   Lubao called out calmly, indicating that it wouldn’t last long and would be over soon. Just stay with me for the time being.   ”Gis,”   Gis Egg nodded calmly.   Lubao went to the side, wrapped the package with his tail, then rolled it up and placed it under a nearby tree. Then, a hundred meters away from Gis Egg, he began training.   He gazed up at the sky, the gem on his forehead flickering slightly. Then, a layer of crystal-clear ice armor enveloped his entire body.   Suddenly, the entire oasis seemed shrouded in a shadow.   High in the sky, a massive icy cone, the size of a mountain, was falling at breakneck speed.   Its speed created a powerful turbulence below.   And right at the center of the impact was Lubao.   ”Bang!!!!”   With a resounding “bang!!!” the mountain-like cone shattered, revealing Lubao’s figure below.   Two tiny cracks appeared in his crystal-clear ice armor.   A surge of cold air closed the cracks at a visible speed.   Lubao stared upward.   The next moment, a mountain-sized cone of ice appeared again, this time even larger than the last.   ”Gis…”   Gis Egg watched calmly from the side.   However, it soon realized that the shadow in the sky seemed to be enveloping it as well.   ”Gis,”   Gis Egg, sensing danger, calmly rolled forward, trying to escape the shadow.   However, its speed was too slow.   ”Bang!!!”   The mountain-like cone of ice crashed to the ground with a resounding roar.   The cone shattered, revealing Lu Bao, clad in ice armor.   Just as it looked up at the sky, about to create another cone of ice even more powerful than the previous one, it suddenly sensed something and turned around.   Gis Egg had vanished from its previous position.   Lu Bao, with a bad feeling, released the chill from her body.   The crystal-clear ice armor vanished.   Lu Bao walked towards Gis Egg’s previous location.   Following the aura it had sensed, it stopped at a certain location. Looking down, it saw a pit below, and within it lay the unconscious Gis Egg.   Lubao: “!”   Lubao quickly used its tail to lift Gis Egg out of the pit, and the gemstone on its forehead shone a faint blue light onto Gis Egg.   Soon, the blue light faded.   Gis Egg slowly opened its eyes.   ”Ice Emperor,”   Lubao called apologetically.   Gis Egg looked at it.   The next second, its mouth drooped, and tears instantly flowed from its eyes.   ”Gis!”   ”Gis!”   Gis Egg rolled to the ground, bursting into tears.   Lubao: “…”   …   the open space surrounding the villa.   ”Xunbao, now let’s test your new skills and traits to see what you’ve awakened,” Qiao Sang said.   ”Xunxun~”   Gis Egg nodded.   Just as it was about to sense, Qiao Sang said,   ”Gangbao, try a duel with Xunbao.”   ”Gangquan,” Gangbao nodded.   ”Xunxun?”   Little Xunbao was startled and called out quickly.   Didn’t we say we were trying out the newly awakened skills and traits? Why do we need to fight?   Because some of your newly awakened traits and abilities can only be manifested in combat… Qiao Sang said, “Some traits may only be revealed in combat. This applies to your Tonggui, Spellbound Body, and Cursed Body.”   ”Xunxun…”   Little Xunbao was powerless to refute.   He looked at Gangbao, uncontrollably recalling his full form and the sight of him plucking his wings.   Little Xunbao paused and opened his mouth, about to suggest that he should first try out the traits and skills on his own.   ”Ya Ya!”   But just then, Yabao called out, indicating that he wanted to fight Little Xunbao.   ”Xunxun!”   Hearing this, Little Xunbao was instantly inspired and called out quickly, indicating that he wanted to fight Gangbao now.   With that, he teleported high into the air, hooked his short toe at Gangbao, and called out:   ”Xunxun!”

Come on!

“Go,” Qiao Sang thought in his mind.

“Gang Quan,”

Gang Bao called out, flapping his wings and soaring high into the sky.

“Ya Ya?”

Seeing this, Ya Bao looked confused and called out, wondering if Little Xun Bao didn’t want to fight me.

What do you think? Even you can see that… Qiao Sang pretended to think for a moment, then said,

“I think so. It probably thinks you’re too strong. You know, Little Xun Bao has always been afraid of pain.”

“Ya Ya,”

Ya Bao sighed and called out worriedly, saying that Little Xun Bao couldn’t stand this. If he didn’t dare to fight opponents stronger than himself, how could he participate in the competition?

“If there was a real competition, he would definitely dare to join in.” Qiao Sang smiled, looking at the inky black figure high in the sky.

“Ya Ya,”

Ya Bao nodded.

It seemed to be the case.

High in the sky, Gang Bao spread his wings, and countless purple feathers instantly swept from his body like sharp blades towards Little Xun Bao.

Little Xunbao vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a black hole appeared behind Gangbao’s head, and a small black claw emerged from it.

Simultaneously, a black energy sphere, approximately five meters in diameter, condensed from the claw.

Gangbao, sensing danger, controlled countless purple blades, sweeping them backward.

“Bang!”

With a resounding bang, the five-meter-wide black energy sphere slammed precisely into Gangbao’s body.

Countless purple blades also converged around the black hole. The shockwave,

carrying the black energy in all directions, spread in all directions.

When the movement subsided, Gangbao’s unharmed figure emerged.

Simultaneously, a black hole appeared out of nowhere several hundred meters away, and Little Xunbao’s equally unharmed figure emerged from it.

Gangbao and Little Xunbao exchanged glances.

Then, one flapped their wings and soared high into the sky, while the other plunged into the black hole that had appeared before them.

Time flew by. After nearly an hour of fighting, Qiao Sang finally couldn’t help but shout,

“Wait a minute!”

Gangbao stopped and looked over.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao teleported closer and called out, asking what was wrong.

“I think to test your special ability faster, it’s best to stand still and let Gangbao attack directly,” Qiao Sang said.

Honestly, she hadn’t expected the fight to last this long. She’d assumed that Little Xunbao would quickly be attacked enough to activate his special ability, or perhaps, under the high-pressure environment, unleash a new skill.

But Little Xunbao’s movements were erratic. For so long, Gangbao hadn’t managed to land a single hit, let alone push Little Xunbao to the brink of his life, triggering his life-borrowing ability.

Of course, this was due to Gangbao holding back.

Gangbao, on the other hand, took numerous hits, but due to its formidable defense, Little Xunbao didn’t let up his attacks. After nearly an hour of fighting, he remained unscathed.

If they continued like this, he’d probably run out of energy, and Little Xunbao wouldn’t activate a single special ability or skill.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao took a step back, eyes wide open, as if in disbelief, and cried out. “

Am I supposed to stand and take a beating?”

Gangbao, reflecting on his own beastmaster’s thoughts, remained silent.

Qiao Sang hummed a “hmm.”

“Xunxun?”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao cried out in disbelief.

Why? He felt that even without standing still and taking a beating, he could still activate his special abilities and skills!

“Don’t forget, special abilities like Tonggui take an hour, and you haven’t even taken a single hit. How would you activate a similar special ability?” Qiao Sang said.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao appeared and nodded in agreement. “That’s right.

” “Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao was about to try to retort.

Then, Gangbao calmly called out twice:

“Gangquan.”

“Gangquan.”

Boss, the live broadcast of the All-Star Tournament is about to begin. It’s better to activate your awakened new abilities sooner rather than later to increase your chances of winning. “

All-Star Tournament Live Broadcast…” Little Xunbao heard the key words, took a deep breath, teleported in front of Gangbao, closed his eyes, and shouted:

“Xunxun!”

Come on!

“Activate Borrow Life first. This ability only activates when your own state is nearing its limit. Don’t hold back, or else Xiao Xunbao will suffer again,” Qiao Sang said in his mind.

“Gang Quan,” Gang Bao responded in his mind, then slowly grew larger.

Xiao Xunbao sensed something and opened one eye. When he saw Gang Bao growing larger, both eyes widened instantly.

Fully restored, Gang Bao flapped his wings and transformed into a streak of purple light, soaring high into the sky.

Then, like a purple meteorite, he suddenly plummeted from the clouds.

Xiao Xunbao: “!!!!”

A black hole appeared out of thin air in front of Xiao Xunbao.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang shouted, “Don’t forget the interstellar live broadcast!”

At this, Xiao Xunbao fell silent.

He spoke nothing, made no move, and the black hole before him vanished.

“Bang!!!”

With a resounding bang, the purple meteorite crashed to the ground, creating an immense crater.

I hope Little Xunbao can activate it right away, otherwise I’ll have to attack again… Qiao Sang thought, enduring the pain.

Not wanting to activate the Life Borrowing trait during the match was one thing, but understanding it was another. Her previous knowledge of it came from that interstellar news article: the activation rate of an S-level Life Borrowing, the range of its effect, and how long it would take to recover—all of that needed to be understood beforehand.

After all, Life Borrowing was a trait; whether it activated or not was passive and uncontrollable… Qiao Sang thought as she looked toward the distant direction where Gangbao had fallen and suddenly sat down cross-legged.

If she had been assisted, she wouldn’t be facing the ground in this position…

In the giant pit, Gangbao’s body swayed, then flapped its wings and flew out, looking seriously injured.

Didn’t it work? Qiao Sang thought.

“Xunxun?”

As the thought flashed through her mind, Little Xunbao suddenly floated out of the pit, looked down at her, and touched her, his eyes lighting up with an expression of “How amazing!”

Great! It worked! And it wasn’t him whose life was being borrowed… Qiao Sang felt the pain disappear, and he smiled and said, “It seems the new feature has been activated…”

Before he could finish his words, an anxious voice suddenly reached his ears from afar:

“Peng Peng!”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling a bad premonition. He quickly stood up and said, “Let’s go back first.”

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xunbao wanted to say something, but seeing his beastmaster’s serious expression, he swallowed his words, his eyes flashing blue.

The next second, Qiao Sang appeared in the villa’s living room.

On the ground, Teacher Mikala was lying facedown.

Peng Jiamei was beside him, looking anxious.

The usually melancholic Jiubu Gu exuded a stern, murderous air, his eyes gleaming purple as he surveyed his surroundings warily.

The Dragon King’s aura had completely dissipated. He looked at Qiao Sang and called out in a grave tone,

“Grind!”

An enemy attack.

“Xunxun?!”

Little Xunbao’s eyes widened upon hearing this, and he glanced around.

Enemies? Where are they?!

Qiao Sang: “…”

Honestly, based on the timing of Little Xunbao’s ascent from the crater and the sound emitted by Peng Jiamei, as well as Teacher Mikala’s face-down position, she could almost conclude that Teacher Mikala was the victim of Little Xunbao’s life-saving aid…

She hadn’t expected Little Xunbao’s life-saving aid to reach such a wide range…

“Lu…” Qiao Sang avoided the Dragon King’s gaze, somewhat guiltily, and instinctively turned to ask Lubao for help with the treatment.

However, she stopped herself after only a word. She

had almost forgotten that Lubao had left…

She wondered what Lubao was doing now…

…

At the same moment,

amidst the lush greenery, Lubao sneezed.

It frowned, and then the gem on its forehead emitted a faint blue light and wrapped itself in it.

After a while, the faint blue light disappeared, and Lu Bao felt her body.

At this time, the Jeez Egg beside her called out calmly:

“Jis.”

It was hungry.

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao pointed in the direction of the package with his eyes and called out, indicating that the food was there, and except for the energy pills, everything else could be taken.

“Jis.”

Jeez Egg shook his head calmly and called out.

It had already checked it this morning, and it didn’t like anything there. Could you get me some food?

Lu Bao: “…” (End of this chapter)
