Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1399

Chapter 1399. Chapter 1394: Gambling on Black Dragon VS Tooth Treasure (Two-in-One)

Saye International Arena.

The arena has been changed.

A mechanical-type pet wearing a referee’s badge blows a whistle to signal preparation.

The number “10” appears on the field, changing continuously with a mechanical sound.

“9, 8, 7…”

Could it be the Netherworld Lord…? Gaston ponders as the light and shadow reach “1”.

Then, the light and shadow disappear.

Josan and Gaston simultaneously form hand seals.

Everyone and their pets stare intently at the field.

Two mysterious and profound purple star arrays light up simultaneously, and soon, a massive figure appears in each of the star arrays.

As if the temperature had suddenly increased to daytime, the temperature on the field soared.

“Bet!”

“Ya Ya!”

As soon as Ya Bao appeared, its aura was fully unleashed, flames suddenly erupting from its body as it excitedly roared to the sky.

Compared to Ya Bao, the other pet seemed much calmer.

“Burning Emperor! Burning Emperor!”

“Bet on Black Dragon! Bet on Black Dragon!”

Seeing the two pets appear, everyone’s blood boiled, and they shouted passionately.

“This is the second match,” Nefertis announced from the commentary booth. “Gaston and Josang have fielded Black Dragon and Burning Emperor respectively.”

“Black Dragon is Gaston’s undisputed ace among his pets. During the round of 80 to 40, it defeated two Royal-level pets and one General-level pet,” Auror added. “Josang’s Burning Emperor has also demonstrated extraordinary power, defeating three Royal-level pets in a row. I believe this clash between the two will be a very exciting battle.”

“Fire Sky,”

Fire Sky Qilin nodded, chirping in agreement, indicating its agreement.

Black Dragon is a Royal-level pet with both Dark and Dragon attributes. It

possesses high intelligence, its mind constantly occupied with betting. It enjoys finding targets to gamble on, and its gambling etiquette is poor; it will beat up its loser if it loses.

It has the racial talent skill Risk Dice, rolling a malicious die at its opponent. Each roll randomly triggers an effect, such as lowering the opponent’s defense, causing confusion, or reducing their energy by half.

Basically, no matter which side is rolled, it will have a negative effect on the opponent.

However, if the opponent says a number before rolling, and the die happens to roll that number, then all the negative effects triggered by the risk die will apply to the Black Dragon… Qiao Sang looked at the dragon-type pet beast in the distance, which was over thirty meters tall, mostly black, with three rows of white patterns on its belly, a pair of huge black wings, standing on two legs, and holding a giant die in its claws. Information about it flashed through her mind, and she sighed inwardly.

When it comes to luck, Ya Bao is really bad…

Fen Di Duo… On the other side, Gaston’s mood became heavy, and he dared not be careless.

He had watched all of Qiao Sang’s matches in the Master Challenge. Although everyone now believed that her ace was the Netherworld Lord, in terms of pure combat power, Fen Di Duo was definitely superior.

He hoped that the Black Dragon would roll a number that would directly halve Fen Di Duo’s attack power…

“A bet?”

With a thought flashing through his mind, the Black Dragon gave Ya Bao an evil smile and barked, indicating, “What do you think it is? “

Without waiting for Toothpick’s reply, it forcefully tossed the dice upwards from its paw.

The moment it was thrown, black mist appeared around the dice.

“Toothpick!”

Toothpick cried out, then opened its mouth and spewed a swirling, ferocious flame towards the dice.

It bet on a 1!

“A risky dice—regardless of whether the opponent says the number or not, the effect of the rolled die will still work. It’s better to say a number and gamble. It seems Josang understands this well,” Nefertis said on the commentary platform. “The Burning Emperor guessed 1; will it be right?” “

The Burning Emperor attacked the risky dice, but unfortunately, the risky dice cannot be hit,” Auror added.

The crimson flame pierced directly through the risky dice.

The risky dice disintegrated and disappeared, but then immediately reformed in its original position and continued to be tossed upwards.

The Risk Dice differs from other pet companion items; it’s not a physical object, but rather condensed from malicious energy. It cannot be destroyed by attacks, nor can it be altered by external forces like telekinesis. As long as the Black Dragon doesn’t fall, it won’t disappear… I already told Ya Bao, but it still attacked. Sure enough, it won’t give up unless Ya Bao tries… Qiao Sang watched the dice re-condense in the air, showing no surprise.

Just as the dice re-condensed, a thick black beam of light shot straight towards Ya Bao.

Ya Bao teleported high into the sky, opened its mouth, and like the breaking of dawn, a golden-red beam of light fell vertically at an astonishing speed.

The Black Dragon didn’t move, but instead channeled its energy, instantly enveloping itself in a dense hemispherical black barrier.

“Bang!!!”

With a loud crash, the golden-red beam of light slammed into the black barrier.

With a “crack,” the black barrier shattered into countless black fragments, offering absolutely no resistance.

“Dudu!”

Centered on the impact point, heat waves and shockwaves raged outwards, sweeping across most of the arena. Wherever they passed, the ground turned charcoal black, and the Black Dragon let out a miserable cry.

How could this be… Gaston frowned, somewhat puzzled.

The Black Dragon’s Dark Barrier proficiency was at the Profound level. Even if the Explosive Flame Bullet of the Burning Emperor was also at the Profound level, it shouldn’t have shattered the Black Dragon’s barrier so easily.

Could it be that the Burning Emperor was already a mid-stage Emperor-level pet?

But based on past competition data, it didn’t seem like that.

Besides, it wasn’t daytime now, so there was no solar power to increase the Burning Emperor’s power…

The competition was still ongoing, and there was no need to dwell on things that couldn’t be understood. Gaston quickly gathered his thoughts and issued the command: “Dark Pulse!”

“Dudu!”

Still in the midst of the shockwave, the Black Dragon endured the pain, raised its left claw high, and suddenly slammed it down onto the ground.

At the same time, Ya Bao instantly landed on the ground.

Countless black beams of light and countless streams of scalding magma erupted from the ground simultaneously.

The dark red lava instantly dyed the arena a deep crimson, the scorching heat seemingly capable of incinerating everything.

The red glow was terrifying, and the entire arena distorted due to the intense heat.

Within the infernal magma, countless black beams of energy, no less formidable, shot skyward, seemingly intent on destroying everything in their path.

Ya Bao teleported away, reappearing amidst these black beams.

The instant it vanished, several black pillars of light erupted from its former location.

Countless black beams shot straight into the night sky, seemingly without end.

The interplay of malevolent and scorching energy made the entire scene terrifying.

Ya Bao teleported to a safe area in the air, but the Black Dragon, caught off guard by the earlier shockwave, was swallowed by the scalding magma, barely managing to flap its scorched wings and fly high into the sky.

Ya Bao vanished again, reappearing behind the Black Dragon.

It opened its mouth, and a gigantic head of the Burning Emperor, formed from crimson flames, instantly materialized.

The scorching flames enveloped all of Tooth’s sharp teeth.

The gigantic Burning Emperor’s head synchronized with Tooth’s movements, snapping downwards.

“Thump.”

Just then, the dice fell into the lava, floating on top instead of falling in.

A large “2” appeared in the frame, but only for a moment before being incinerated and disappearing.

At the same time, black smoke suddenly billowed from Tooth’s body, revealing a pained expression, and its downward-biting motion paused.

“Tail!” Gaston shouted, seizing the opportunity.

“Bet!”

The Black Dragon spun around, its tail instantly condensing into a dense, silvery-white light, and lashed out at Tooth.

“Bang!”

“Tooth!”

The gigantic Burning Emperor’s head, formed from flames, disintegrated and vanished.

Tooth’s massive body flew diagonally downwards, passing through several black beams of light, before crashing heavily into the lava.

The lava exploded violently, scattering dark red sparks everywhere.

“The Black Dragon attacked the Burning Emperor with its Dragon Tail!” Nefertis exclaimed from the commentary booth.

“The Dragon Tail shouldn’t have done much damage to the Burning Emperor, but when it flew downwards, it also suffered multiple Dark Erosion Pulses, which definitely caused it significant damage,” Auror analyzed. “

Fire Sky.”

“Fire Sky.”

Fire Sky Qilin exclaimed twice, indicating that the Burning Emperor’s luck was terrible. It had a clear advantage and was about to attack the Black Dragon with its Fire Fang when the dice roll came out.

“Fire Sky?”

After saying that, it seemed to remember something and exclaimed curiously, asking what the effect of the 2 was.

“It makes the target feel the same pain as itself for a moment,” Nefertis said. “Similar to the mutual destruction effect, but the effect only lasts for a very short time.”

“Fire Sky.” Fire Sky Qilin exclaimed after hearing this, indicating that the Burning Emperor was really unlucky. With so many points, it just so happened to roll this one when it was about to attack the Black Dragon.

“Dudu…”

High in the sky, the Black Dragon of Gamblers panted heavily, raising its claws, and a giant die instantly materialized in its claws.

Then, it tossed the die upwards.

Almost 0.1 seconds after the die was thrown, the wounded Toothless, dripping with lava, appeared behind the Black Dragon of Gamblers with an excited expression.

Despite being severely injured, it could move so quickly! Gaston’s pupils contracted slightly.

Before he could give the command, the Black Dragon of Gamblers also sensed the danger and tried to move.

However, its body was controlled by an invisible force, preventing it from moving immediately.

Toothless’s eyes glowed blue, and it suddenly opened its mouth.

A giant multi-headed fiery emperor instantly materialized, biting down hard at the Black Dragon of Gamblers!

“Dudu!”

A shockwave carrying flames exploded, and the Black Dragon of Gamblers let out a miserable cry.

“The Black Dragon has rolled the risk dice again!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed excitedly, “The Burning Emperor has teleported behind the Black Dragon! This time! Fire Fang has successfully hit the Black Dragon!”

“Fire Heaven.”

Fire Heaven Qilin exclaimed with admiration, indicating that the Burning Emperor, despite just being severely injured, still possessed such mobility—amazing!

Such a fast attack rhythm! The eyes of the crowd, who had just lamented the Burning Emperor’s bad luck, suddenly lit up, their passionate excitement reignited.

“Holy crap! The Burning Emperor is awesome! It just suffered such a heavy attack, yet it counterattacked so quickly as if nothing happened!”

“Who said it was alright? Didn’t you see the Burning Emperor is covered in wounds? It just knows how to endure them.”

“I wonder if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like the Burning Emperor is even more excited after being injured?”

“Charge!” On the field, Qiao Sang calmly issued the command.

The giant head of the Burning Emperor, formed from flames, slammed the Black Dragon downwards.

The Black Dragon flew backwards.

Just as it was about to plummet into the lava, it flapped its wings and steadied itself.

The Black Dragon looked up, but its opponent was already out of sight.

Although it had only uttered a single word, “Charge,” if it wasn’t mistaken, the Burning Emperor was about to unleash a Radiant Impact… Gaston issued the command: “Keep moving.”

Hearing its Beastmaster’s voice, the Black Dragon flapped its wings, weaving through the black beams of light.

Dark Erosion Pulse, a Dark-type Super-tier skill, erupted from the earth’s veins, damaging the target while simultaneously draining their energy from the Dark Erosion energy within. The black beams continued to surge for a period of time.

At this moment, the Dark Erosion Pulse had not yet ceased.

Suddenly, a golden sphere of light plummeted from the sky at an terrifying speed, slicing through the heavens like a burning sun.

The Black Dragon’s expression turned grave. It accelerated, becoming a black afterimage, weaving through the black beams of light.

“The Burning Emperor has unleashed the Radiant Sun Impact!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis shouted, “Can it hit the Black Dragon?”

High in the sky, the golden sphere of light, resembling the sun, suddenly split in two, then four, then countless, like countless suns falling simultaneously!

This! The crowd and their pets were all shocked and stunned.

Even though they knew the attack wouldn’t affect the audience, their hearts still raced, they swallowed hard, and tensed up.

They were all clones, just terrifying to look at… Gaston silently chanted.

The Black Dragon’s pupils constricted, and with a jolt, it could only continue moving faster.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

Countless “suns” collided with the black beam of light, and violent explosions erupted continuously.

Explosions followed one after another, shockwaves like a tidal wave.

Many spectators were stunned by the dense explosions and covered their ears.

Unnoticed, two of the golden spheres of light switched positions.

Amidst a dense shockwave, a golden sphere of light, now in a different position, shattered all the black beams in its path!

Its location was directly above the Black Dragon!

There was no time to dodge! Gaston’s heart tightened, and he issued a command:

“Spit!”

The Black Dragon stopped moving, opened its mouth upwards, and a terrifying silver-white beam of light instantly condensed and spewed upwards.

“Thump.”

At the same time, the dice fell onto the lava, and the number rolled was “6”. (End of Chapter)
