Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1588

Chapter 1588. Chapter 1582 Qingbao’s Excitement (Two Chapters Combined)

“But Dragon Amber contains more Dragon-type energy,” Josang sighed.

Michaela, elegantly cutting meat on his plate, said, “Regarding rare materials, even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance of obtaining them, you should still go and see.”

That makes sense. Josang gave an “I understand” look and said,

“I’ll go check it out after the thunderstorms in the Guan Chi region end.”

Guan Chi region? Thunderstorms? Qingbao’s eyes lit up. It moved closer to Xiao Xunbao and whispered,

“Qingqing?”

Where is Guan Chi region?

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao chewed on an energy pill while using its paw to open the navigation on its phone, set its location, pointed to the screen, and called out, indicating it was here.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao leaned closer to the screen, looking at it seriously.

A few seconds later, it looked away and ate its energy pill unhappily.

It couldn’t understand…

Half an hour later, everyone finished lunch.

Penjami’s eyes glowed blue as she skillfully tidied up the table with her telekinesis.

“Don’t forget to check on the Guan Chi area after the thunderstorm ends,” Michaela reminded her as she stood up.

The thunderstorm warning only mentioned when it started, not when it would end. It seemed she would have to have Little Treasure use its omniscient spatial teleportation ability to check every now and then. Josang pondered for a moment, then replied, “I won’t forget.”

Michaela turned around with satisfaction and went back to her room.

A moment later, she came out again after changing her clothes and said,

“Let me take the Object-Knowing Monster to find alien pets this afternoon.”

This time, Josang didn’t refuse, saying,

“Alright.”

She had to keep an eye on the Guan Chi area and summon Qingbao at any time in the afternoon, so she really didn’t have much time to go out and find alien pets.

Michaela looked at the Object-Knowing Monster.

Before she could speak, the Object-Knowing Monster called out,

“Shishi.”

It was afraid of thunder.

Wuyuan glanced at the Object-Knowing Monster, then looked at its Beastmaster, unusually helping to translate:

“Wuwu.”

It didn’t want to go out with her.

When Michaela heard Wuyou speak to her, her first reaction was one of flattery. However, after hearing what it said, she fell silent and looked at the Object-Knowing Monster.

She didn’t remember having any conflict with the Object-Knowing Monster.

This guy is quite clever. The Object-Knowing Monster subtly cast an admiring glance at Wuyou.

“No,” Qiao Sang corrected, “the Object-Knowing Monster said it’s afraid of thunder.”

Although the Object-Knowing Monster needs electric energy to charge, the electric energy must be precisely controlled. Even a slight excess could cause it to malfunction. If it were struck by lightning, it would definitely be severely injured.

Injuries to mechanical-type pets are different from those to other types of pets. Ordinary healing skills are simply ineffective. A mechanic would need to repair the parts system. Even a powerful healing light like Lu Bao’s might not be able to repair an Object-Knowing Monster struck by lightning.

In addition, the Object-Knowing Monster’s level is not high, so Qiao Sang could understand why it was afraid to go out in thundery weather.

“Shishi.”

The Observer Monster withdrew its gaze from Wuyuanwang, nodded, and barked, indicating that it was afraid of thunder.

I knew it! I’ve never had a conflict with the Observer Monster. Michaela laughed,

“With me, you don’t need to be afraid of thunder. With Meimei’s abilities, she can completely block out the sound of lightning.”

Penjiamei didn’t speak, which was taken as tacit agreement.

The Observer Monster was silent for two seconds, then barked,

“Shishi.”

Let’s go then.

It couldn’t think of any other reason to refuse.

Soon, Penjiamei’s eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared from the spot with its Beastmaster and the Observer Monster.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao barked, indicating that it wanted to go out too.

Qiao Sang glanced at the lightning outside, which had shrunk, and said,

“Go.”

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao’s eyes curved into a smile, and then, as if remembering something, it floated to Tingbao’s side and barked,

“Qingqing?”

Are you really not going out this afternoon?

“Tingting.”

Tingbao shook its head and barked. It felt like it couldn’t devour anything anymore today.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao showed a “what a pity” expression, then vanished in the wind.

“Xunxun.”

Little Xunbao looked at the spot where Qingbao disappeared and shook its head.

It still didn’t know what Lao Wu was trying to achieve by going out and getting struck by lightning.

What a strange Lao Wu

. Little Xunbao thought to itself as it walked to the mountain of dolls, silently picked one up, and used its mental link.

Tingbao found an empty spot, lay down, closed its eyes, and tiny arcs of electricity appeared on its body.

Tingbao was digesting. Qiao Sang glanced at Tingbao, then sat down on the sofa, entered the Beast Taming Codex, and quickly flipped to the page about Tingbao.

Her gaze quickly fell on the data after the level:

[Level: General (390992/1000000)+] [Level:

General (391020/1000000)+]

[Level: General (391045/1000000)+]

Is the energy increase so fast? Qiao Sang looked at the value after the level increasing every second and was overjoyed.

If it continues to increase at this rate, Tingbao can definitely shorten the time by more than half and enter the mid-stage of the General level ahead of schedule. If it can increase like this every day, it can reach the late stage of the General level within a month and reach the level where it can evolve!

However, even in the Thunder Kingdom, it doesn’t fight such terrifying lightning every day.

Qiao Sang calmed down and quickly made a decision: It seems that he will have to stay in the Thunder Kingdom for a while.

Even if he can’t find Dragon Flash Amber and other rare materials related to electric type, Tingbao staying in the Thunder Kingdom and occasionally absorbing the power of lightning will definitely be a great profit.

After all, elsewhere, there wasn’t such pure natural lightning power that Tingbao could frequently absorb.

Meanwhile,

under the thunderous sky, a gust of wind flashed past, narrowly dodging a bolt of lightning striking from above.

“Qingqing,”

Qingbao appeared, a smug expression on its face.

Suddenly, a deafening clap of thunder echoed in the distance.

Qingbao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a terrifyingly dense array of lightning in the distance, so numerous and powerful that the morning’s lightning seemed insignificant.

Moreover, it saw the wind forming a powerful vortex, like a wind dragon frantically devouring everything around it.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao looked at the lightning-filled sky, feeling the raging wind, its eyes suddenly lighting up, its excitement uncontrollable.

A thought struck it, and it prepared to transform into the wind and head there.

But just then, with a deafening “boom,” a thunderbolt struck.

A thick bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, striking Qingbao precisely.

“Qingqing!”

When Qingbao woke up and opened her eyes, she found herself back in her hotel room.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao looked over and called out, as if to say, “How come you got struck by lightning so quickly this time?”

It remembered that the time since Lao Wu was struck by lightning had been much longer.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao, annoyed and embarrassed, yelled at Xiao Xunbao, indicating it was none of Xiao Xunbao’s business!

Despite her angry expression, no strong winds arose around them.

“Are you still going out?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao looked at her Beastmaster and called out, indicating of course.

After speaking, she transformed into the wind and rushed out of the window.

Why does Qingbao seem even more anxious than before? Qiao Sang thought to herself.

In the air, rain fell like scattered beans, and puddles formed everywhere on the street.

There were hardly any people or pets on the street. Occasionally, one or two people and their pets would appear, either surrounded by a barrier, accompanied by an electric-type pet, or holding an umbrella made of lightning-resistant material.

Michaela, Penjami, and the Object-Knowing Monster walked within the transparent barrier.

The raindrops fell around them, outlining the shape of the barrier.

Just as they turned a corner, there was not a single person or pet in sight. The entire street was deserted, and many shops were closed.

The Object-Knowing Monster suddenly stopped.

Penjami, oblivious, followed her Beastmaster’s steps, and the barrier moved along with her.

Rain soaked the Sense-of-Thing.

Sense-of-Thing: “…”

After only two steps, Michaela and Penjami noticed the Sense-of-Thing wasn’t beside them and turned back.

The barrier enveloped the Sense-of-Thing again.

“Why did you stop?” Michaela asked.

The Sense-of-Thing remained expressionless and didn’t answer.

Even though there was no leak of energy, Penjami still felt an invisible pressure from the Sense-of-Thing and frowned.

“You didn’t get caught in the rain and something happened, did you?” Michaela asked with concern when the Sense-of-Thing didn’t speak.

Some mechanical-type pets are afraid of water; if attacked by water-type skills or caught in the rain, they might malfunction. She wasn’t sure if the Sense-of-Thing was one of these types.

The Sense-of-Thing finally called out:

“Sense-of-Thing.”

It felt there were no people or pets on the street; perhaps it should go back and look for them again when the weather improved.

As she spoke, Penjami felt the pressure around her disappear, as if the pressure she had felt before was just an illusion.

Michaela looked up at the lightning in the sky, thinking that she hadn’t expected there to be so little lightning, and that there were still so few people and pets on the streets.

She opened her mouth, about to agree,

when suddenly, a deafening rumble of thunder shook the entire space.

Michaela looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dense, terrifying lightning bolt high in the sky.

It seemed a severe thunderstorm had already occurred in the Guanchi District, much earlier than the warning had been issued.

No wonder the lightning was so weak, and there were still so few people and pets on the streets; it seemed that even though the predicted location was the Guanchi District, they were still afraid of being affected.

Michaela looked away and said,

“Then let’s go back first.”

The Observer didn’t give her a response.

At this moment, it was also looking at the dense lightning and the direction of the obvious tornado in the distance, frowning.

Why did that little guy named Qingbao go to such a dangerous place on its own?

Hotel room.

Michaela, Penjami, and the Observer appeared out of thin air.

Qiao Sang sat on the sofa, putting down the book about Tianyuan Star in her hand, and asked in surprise,

“Why are you back so soon?”

“There weren’t many people or pets on the streets, so I came back,” Michaela explained.

Qiao Sang glanced at the gloomy sky outside and said,

“I see the thunder has become much weaker, why is everyone still not coming out?”

“The thunderstorm came earlier,” Michaela said succinctly.

“No wonder.” Qiao Sang instantly understood why and said, “It’s okay, I’m already planning to stay in Lei Dian Kingdom for a while. I can go out to search when there’s no thunder.”

Lei Dian Kingdom, like Tian Niao Kingdom, is a small country. As long as there are three days without thunder, you can travel all over it.

“How long do you plan to stay?” Michaela asked.

“Until Ting Bao reaches the late stage of the General level,” Qiao Sang said. “There’s just too much lightning here. In just one morning, Ting Bao absorbed all the lightning, and the energy in its body increased a lot. I think if it stays here, it can quickly reach the late stage of the General level.”

Upon hearing this, Ting Bao looked at its Beastmaster.

Michaela nodded slightly: “Tingbao possesses two major characteristics: Thunder Devouring and Heavenly Thunder Resonance. These two characteristics, combined with the environment here, might indeed be more effective for Tingbao than some electric materials.”

“Tingting.”

At this moment, Tingbao called out, indicating that it still needed to search for the alien pet. The

Object-Knowing Monster glanced at it.

Why is everyone so concerned about this?

Qiao Sang smiled: “Our search is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The main thing is to see what happens on the other side. It’s okay to go to other countries later.”

After all, the whereabouts of the alien pet are unpredictable. The information given is that it is in the eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star, but no one can say for sure whether it will go to the western hemisphere or to the countries it was previously searching for during the search.

Tingbao was silent for two seconds, then showed a serious expression and called out:

“Tingting.”

It will definitely reach the late stage of the General level as soon as possible.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, the Object-Knowing Monster suddenly called out:

“Shishi?”

Where is Qingbao?

“It went out,” Qiao Sang replied.

“Shishi?”

the creature cried out, indicating that it was too dangerous to go out in the thunderstorm.

Its tone was calm, but its words conveyed concern.

Qiao Sang chuckled, “Qingbao isn’t stupid; why would it deliberately fly towards the thunderstorm?”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao chimed in, indicating that given Lao Wu’s personality, it was quite possible it would deliberately fly there.

Qiao Sang recalled the scene of Qingbao being struck by lightning repeatedly that morning, yet still excitedly rushing out. After a moment of silence, she added:

“Actually, it’s okay if Qingbao gets struck by lightning at the thunderstorm; Lubao can heal it.”

Inside the room, Lubao heard its name and silently poked its head out of the water tank.

The object-aware monster remained silent.

Streaks of yellow lightning continuously tore through the clouds, occasionally illuminating the entire red zone.

Torrential rain poured down, and howling winds ripped everything apart.

Trees were snapped in half by the gale, and vehicles and even some houses were torn off and sent flying everywhere.

At the center of the storm, a tornado spun rapidly, the rain being swirled into a rotating water curtain, sucking everything around it into it.

Terrifying lightning flashed and roared high in the sky, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.

“Liangliang!!!”

A small figure, along with a house, was swept up by the gale and sucked towards the tornado.

It was mostly yellow, with an antenna on its head, and only about thirty centimeters long.

The pet with the antenna on its head was deathly pale, its expression filled with despair and fear.

It was about to be sucked in.

Suddenly, a gust of wind with a different trajectory appeared, swept it up, and pulled it away from the tornado. (End of Chapter)
