Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1493

Chapter 1493. Chapter 1487 The Returned Are Not Alone (Part 2)

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao shouted.

Someone fell down!

After saying that, its eyes glowed blue.

The next second, the young man was controlled by an invisible force, flipped over, and faced upwards.

His face was pale, and he was foaming at the mouth.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao shouted again.

This person was poisoned!

People and pets passing by heard the shouts, either glanced at him and then turned away without interest, or glanced at the fallen young man first, then looked at Little Xunbao with a “surprised” expression, and then turned away and continued walking.

No one and no pet stopped.

Lu Bao’s eyes looked at the fallen human through the gap in the backpack zipper, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out a paw to unzip the zipper.

Knowing that food poisoning could easily happen in Yuan Kingdom, she didn’t expect to see one so quickly. Qiao Sang’s lips twitched slightly, and she took out her phone and asked:

“Teacher, what is the number of the Yuan Kingdom’s medical emergency center?”

Lu Bao’s paw silently withdrew.

Michaela glanced at the poisoned youth and calmly said, “Don’t worry about him, his pets will carry him away soon.”

Qiao Sang was taken aback: “What pets?”

Before she finished speaking, two snake-like pets with rescue badges around their necks suddenly appeared out of nowhere, carrying a stretcher. They skillfully used their tails to quickly coil the youth onto the stretcher and swiftly left.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao looked curious and called out, indicating who they were.

“What’s going on?” Qiao Sang was momentarily confused and couldn’t help but ask.

Michaela smiled: “Yuan Kingdom has many poisonous pets. Besides food poisoning, there are various other ways to get poisoned, so the rescue service here is very advanced. Basically, if a person or pet collapses, they’ll be taken to the Beast Taming Center or a hospital within ten seconds.”

Ten seconds? That fast? No one called, and those two pets weren’t superpowered. How did they get here? A series of thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind before she finally settled them and asked,

“How come these rescuers are so fast? Aren’t they at the Beast Taming Center and the hospital?”

Michaela replied, “These are all part-time rescuers. Most people and pets who want to earn extra money in Yuan Kingdom get this certificate. Their main role is to transport poisoned people and pets to treatment locations. As long as they are brought in time and saved, 5% of the medical expenses will go to the rescuers who brought them.”

Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

5% of the medical expenses going to the rescuers—no wonder those two snake-like pets were so prompt and proactive. Although poisoning is common in Yuan Kingdom, if all rescues are like this, it seems there’s not much to worry about in terms of life-threatening danger.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao’s eyes suddenly lit up. It raised its paw and cried out, indicating that it also wanted to be a rescuer!

Michaela gestured with his eyes towards the direction some pedestrians and pets were walking, and continued,

“See those people and pets carrying backpacks? Most of them have stretchers in their backpacks, so they can transport poisoned individuals at any time.”

Qiao Sang looked in that direction and, sure enough, saw a group of people and pets carrying backpacks, walking in pairs side by side.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao looked thoughtful and called out, indicating whether it should buy a stretcher too, but wouldn’t it cost a lot of money?

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao gave a “you’re silly” look and called out.

You can teleport and move through space, why do you need a stretcher? Just transfer the poisoned person there.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao’s eyes lit up, showing an “oh yes” expression.

Seeing that Little Xunbao looked like it was about to throw itself into the rescue work, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but remind it, “Don’t forget, your main task is to participate in more competitions and build up your popularity.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out, indicating that it certainly wouldn’t forget.

Qiao Sang felt relieved. What Xiao Xunbao cared about most was being genuinely liked by everyone. Even if it occasionally took time to work as a paramedic, its spatial teleportation ability shouldn’t take too much time.

Only about half a minute later, Michaela stopped and said,

“We’ve arrived at the hotel.”

Qiao Sang looked up and saw a black building in front of her that resembled a giant iron box. Apart from the sign that read “Non-Toxic Hotel,” it had no other colors, making it look incredibly oppressive, especially under the overcast sky, somewhat like a scene from a horror movie.

“This hotel is quite unique,” Qiao Sang finally managed to say.

“Xunxun,”

Xiao Xunbao swallowed hard and called out, implying that there might be ghosts inside

. Qingbao rolled her eyes.

“Tingting?”

Tingbao looked puzzled and called out, implying, “Boss, you’re a ghost type, are you afraid of ghosts?”

Xiao Xunbao suddenly stiffened, then puffed out its chest and called out,

“Xunxun~”

Of course it wasn’t afraid.

Qingbao rolled its eyes again.

Michaela said, “This hotel may look a bit ugly, but all the materials inside are anti-toxic, making it the safest hotel in Yuan Kingdom.”

With that, she went inside first.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao quickly followed.

Upon entering, they were immediately struck by the spaciousness and luxurious decor of the lobby, filled with materials that appeared to be marble and crystal, completely different from the outside.

Michaela went to the front desk to check in.

A grass-like working pet wearing black gloves handed her a piece of paper, calling out,

“Dudu.”

As it spoke, a drop of saliva accidentally dripped onto the paper.

“Pfft!”

The spot where the saliva landed was instantly corroded, creating a hole.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Dudu.” The grass-like working pet looked embarrassed, called out, and then handed her a brand new piece of paper.

Michaela calmly filled out the form, as if nothing had just happened.

Qiao Sang leaned closer and whispered, “Teacher, is this hotel really safe? I think most of the working pets here are poison-type.”

Michaela, while filling out a form, chuckled,

“Don’t worry, this hotel is renowned as the safest in Yuan Kingdom. Poison-type pets are a major part of this country, and a key feature. They’re present in almost every industry. You don’t need to fear their poison; their most toxic parts have been sealed.”

Sealed? Qiao Sang glanced at the black gloves worn by the front desk pet, then looked around at the busy pets.

Some working pets wore muzzles, some had tail sheaths, and one pet was almost entirely covered in black armor, only its eyes and mouth visible.

Seeing someone looking over, the pet grinned, revealing sharp teeth, a little saliva connecting its upper and lower teeth. Because its face was also covered by a mask, its facial expression was obscured, making the smile look somewhat ferocious.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao looked at the pet beast with a “ferocious” smile not far away, showed a wary expression, and called out.

The pet beast, dressed in black armor, stopped smiling, turned around and silently left, its back looking rather lonely.

“It was probably just expressing friendliness just now,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao was stunned for a moment and called out.

Was that friendliness?

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao nodded and called out.

It was friendliness; it could sense that the other party had no malice.

Sure enough, there was no malice. With that kind of clothing, it was hard to imagine what kind of pet beast it was. Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast dressed in black armor gradually disappearing into the distance and thought to herself.

Just then, Michaela walked over and said:

“Let’s go, check-in is complete.”

Room 1109.

The door closed.

“Qing Qing.”

Qing Bao took a deep breath, showing an expression of “finally coming back to life.”

“Xiaxia?”

Xia Lala called affectionately, indicating if she was feeling unwell.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao nodded and called out, indicating that she was indeed feeling unwell; the air smelled awful.

“Xiaxia.”

Xia Lala thought for a moment and called out, indicating that the

air did smell a bit bad. Then, as if remembering something, the flower bud on her neck trembled, silently releasing a refreshing fragrance.

“Qingqing~”

Qingbao’s nose twitched, her eyes lit up, and she snuggled close to Xia Lala wholeheartedly.

“Bing Sheng.”

Lu Bao called out to Xiao Xun Bao.

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xun Bao took off the ring, enlarged it, and pulled out a water tank from it.

Lu Bao opened her mouth and sprayed water, quickly filling the tank. She jumped in, showing a comfortable expression.

Michaela went to the French windows and admired the scenery outside.

Qiao Sang remembered her business, took out her phone, found Shi Pan Te’s contact information, and dialed.

The “beep beep” sound rang for a few seconds before the call was answered.

“Hello, is this Shipante? This is Qiao Sang.”

Michaela instantly stopped admiring the scenery, came to the side, and pricked up her ears.

Penjami glanced at her Beastmaster.

“Shipante?” Shipante’s impatient voice rang out.

“It’s like this, it’s been over a week, and Jiu Bu Gu still hasn’t returned.” Qiao Sang went straight to the point: “Could you help bring it back?”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. After about two seconds, Shipante’s gloating voice came through:

“Shipante.”

It had actually stayed until now.

Qiao Sang sensed the gloating in Shipante’s voice and had a bad feeling. She said, “Yes, we think Jiu Bu Gu should be back by now.”

“Shipante.”

Shipante’s tone became impatient again. It called out once to indicate that it understood and would return to its original place in a minute.

After saying that, it hung up the phone.

“Shipante said Jiu Bu Gu will return to its original place in a minute,” Qiao Sang said, putting down the phone.

Michaela nodded slightly and said, “I can sense Jiu Bu Gu as soon as it appears, and I’ll summon it back immediately.”

Qiao Sang hesitated, unsure whether to mention Shi Pan Te’s somewhat gloating tone. After a moment’s thought, she remained silent.

Anyway, Jiu Bu Gu would be back soon; she could just ask what was going on.

A minute later, Michaela suddenly sensed something and formed hand seals.

A magnificent, dazzling golden star array lit up the living room.

Soon after, Jiu Bu Gu appeared within the star array.

It lay there, its expression weak, looking severely injured.

Upon seeing its Beastmaster, Jiu Bu Gu’s eyes instantly filled with tears, and it weakly yet excitedly cried out,

“Jiu Jiu…”

Before it could finish, its eyes closed, and it fainted.

“Jiu Bu Gu!” Michaela’s pupils constricted, and she instinctively called out.

Penjia Mei’s expression turned grave.

“Xun Xun?”

Little Xun Bao floated over, its expression surprised, and cried out, indicating that it was injured. Sure enough, something

had happened. Qiao Sang turned and called out, “Lu Bao.”

“Ice Saint.”

Lu Bao’s head popped out of the water tank, the gem on its forehead emitting a faint blue light that shone on Jiu Bu Gu.

Soon, all of Jiu Bu Gu’s injuries disappeared, and it slowly opened its eyes.

Lu Bao’s head went back into the water tank.

“What exactly happened? How did you get so badly injured?” Michaela asked, frowning.

Jiu Bu Gu was already an Emperor-level pet beast, and even among pet beasts of the same level, it was a representative of combat power. She really couldn’t understand what kind of opponent it had encountered to become like that.

“Jiu Jiu.”

Jiu Bu Gu sighed heavily and began to recount its experience.

It had just transmigrated when it encountered two Emperor-level dragon-type pet beasts fighting.

“Jiu Jiu, Jiu Jiu,”

Jiu Bu Gu rambled on, sighing as it spoke.

“Xun Xun.”

Little Xun Bao gave a “You’re so pitiful” look.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao listened with a sympathetic expression.

“You mean that as soon as you transmigrated, you were attacked simultaneously by two Emperor-level dragon-type pets, and then you fainted. When you woke up, you were in the Beast Taming Center receiving treatment?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask for confirmation. “

Jiujiu.”

Jiu Bugu nodded heavily.

Penjiamei cast a sympathetic look at it.

That’s too tragic. Shi Pante wouldn’t know what Jiu Bugu had gone through, otherwise why would he be so gloating? Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and tried to ease the slightly heavy atmosphere:

“I found that there are quite a few Emperor-level dragon-type pets on Tianyuan Star. After you transmigrated last time, we went to soak in the hot springs. The staff there said that this place was attacked by two Emperor-level dragon-type pets a hundred years ago.”

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something when she said this and quickly shut up.

Emperor-level dragon-type pets are incredibly rare. For two Emperor-level dragon-type pets to battle, especially since both battles happened in Pear Kingdom a hundred years ago, is highly improbable. It’s likely that Jiu Bu Gu was beaten up by those two Emperor-level dragon-type pets who had developed the hot springs.

Michaela also realized this, and her gaze towards Jiu Bu Gu became complicated.

“Ya Ya?”

Fortunately, before Jiu Bu Gu could think too much, Ya Bao barked, indicating that you didn’t do anything, just lay there. Didn’t you just waste your time?

Too straightforward, Ya Bao thought to herself.

“Jiu Jiu.”

Jiu Bu Gu barked, indicating that it hadn’t done nothing.

“Besides lying in the Beast Taming Center, what else did you do?” Michaela asked.

“Jiu Jiu.”

Jiu Bu Gu barked, indicating that while it was lying there, it asked a fellow patient to help it contact Smiling Night Spirit. If nothing unexpected happened, the other party should still have Smiling Night Spirit’s contact information.

Qiao Sang paused, “A hundred years have passed. Even if it contacted Smiling Night Spirit, its contact information would be long gone. And even if it still had it, how would you contact it?”

“Jiu Jiu,”

Jiu Bu Gu called out, indicating that it didn’t have money to pay its medical bills, which were all covered by its fellow patient. It told it that its Beastmaster was Michaela, and she would help pay the bills.

Michaela: “???”

“Jiu Jiu,”

Jiu Bu Gu added.

Knowing its Beastmaster as it did, it knew she would definitely think this was a scam call. However, the call record would remain, and since the patient couldn’t contact its Beastmaster, it would frantically try to contact Smiling Night Spirit.

Smiling Night Spirit wouldn’t give money, so the patient would definitely have kept its contact information.

Qiao Sang: “.”

Michaela: “.”

Penjiamei: “.” (End of Chapter)
