Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1145: Lubao’s charm

The next day, early morning.

The first ray of sunlight streamed through the glass window.

Qiao Sang walked out of the room, holding Colored Flower Bud Shalala and Ya Bao, who were both wrapped in thick cotton coats.

As soon as she reached downstairs, the young owner came up to greet her and asked, “Are you leaving already?”

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation.

Upon hearing this, the young man shouted towards the kitchen, “Heartless!”

“Cold, cold.”

Not long after, Cold Heart Frog hurried over, holding a meal box.

The young man took the meal box, handed it over, and said, “This is the food I prepared for you.”

After speaking, his expression became solemn: “You must return safely.”

I didn’t feel anything originally, but now that you say it like that, it feels like I’m going to a very dangerous place… Qiao Sang was holding Colored Flower Bud Shalala and had no free hands, so she gestured with her eyes for Xiao Xunbao to take the meal box, then she said, “Thank you.”

At this moment, Mi Jiala came down from upstairs and said, “Let’s go.”

Watching the two guests leave, the young man’s eyes held hidden worry, and he asked, “Heartless, do you think they can find Cold Blood?”

“Cold, cold.”

Cold Heart Frog waved its paws and let out a cry, indicating that it didn’t know, then turned and went back to the kitchen to continue being busy.

Actually, sometimes being naturally heartless might be a good thing… The young man looked at Cold Heart Frog’s back, his eyes filled with sadness and desolation.

The two and their Pets teleported to the Ice Island.

The surroundings were filled with surging cold air and white frost; compared to the original Ice Island, there was no significant difference except for a few fewer people and Pets.

Qiao Sang scanned the surroundings and asked, “How do we find ice wane crystal?”

“Search along the sea surface,” Mi Jiala said unhurriedly, “For ice wane crystal to form, it needs to meet three conditions: first, extremely low temperatures; second, high pressure from the deep ocean; and third, during its formation, it requires a continuous supply of Ice energy from surrounding Ice Pets. Under these circumstances, it will only appear deep underwater.”

“Either we dive to the bottom of the sea to search, or we search along the sea surface. Sometimes, deep-sea ice wane crystal can appear on the surface due to upwelling currents or certain Pets, and then be washed ashore by the current.”

“For the former, only your Ice Emperor Ram here can do it. The sea here is different from ordinary seas; the temperature below is extremely low. Even some high-level Ice Pets might not be able to withstand the cold inside, let alone go to the seabed. So, it’s best for us to search around the sea surface.”

Although Teacher Mi Jiala didn’t say it, Qiao Sang inexplicably felt that she was worried that Colored Flower Bud Shalala couldn’t withstand the underwater temperature, which was why she suggested the second option.

She glanced at Colored Flower Bud Shalala, who was already fully armed and had her head tucked into her down jacket, seeking warmth, and echoed, “Then we’ll search along the sea surface.”

“Ice Emperor.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Bao, who usually spoke very little, uncharacteristically called out, indicating that it could go to the seabed to search on its own.

“No,” Qiao Sang refused without thinking.

“Did you forget what the inn owner said yesterday? Pets have been disappearing here recently, and it’s very likely the Emperor-level Pet Slag Ice Spirit is responsible. What if you encounter Slag Ice Spirit on the seabed? You must act with us.”

“Ice Emperor.”

A warmth flowed through Lu Bao’s heart, and it nodded.

Qiao Sang pulled up a photo of ice wane crystal and showed it to Ya Bao and the others one by one. Then, everyone headed to the beach and began searching along the surroundings.

“Ting Ting!”

They hadn’t been searching for long when Xiao Tingbao, on Ya Bao’s back, let out a loud cry, indicating that it had found something!

“Where?” Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and she quickly went over.

“Ting Ting.”

Xiaoting Dragon pointed its tail at a crystal-clear object on the ground and cried out, indicating it was here.

Qiao Sang looked in the direction it pointed and saw a piece of Ice with a surface as smooth as a mirror, and immediately fell silent.

“Qing Qing…”

Qing Bao floated over with great interest, then left with a speechless expression.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao floated over, turning its head left and right, and cried out, asking where it was, as it couldn’t see it.

“Ting Ting.”

Xiaoting Dragon poked the Ice with its tail.

“Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao looked down, first stunned, then covered its mouth to keep from laughing out loud.

“Ting Ting?”

Xiaoting Dragon saw that everyone’s reactions were off, showing a puzzled expression, and cried out, asking if it wasn’t?

“This is just a piece of Ice, not ice wane crystal,” Qiao Sang patiently explained.

After speaking, she said, “Ting Bao, if you find something you think is ice wane crystal, confirm it with Ya Bao first.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao cried out, indicating that it would help identify it well.

“Ting Ting.”

Ting Bao nodded.

“Steel Treasure?”

While Ya Bao and Ting Bao were communicating, Steel Treasure’s slightly worried voice sounded in her mind, asking if Ya Bao might also not recognize the real ice wane crystal.

“Don’t worry, even though Ya Bao usually seems not very smart, it’s quite good at recognizing things,” Qiao Sang said in her mind.

“Steel Treasure.”

Steel Treasure cried out, reluctantly believing her.

Two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes… Time passed, but nothing was found. Instead, more and more Ice wild Pets gathered around.

The Pets either hid or directly stared openly at Lu Bao, showing expressions of infatuation.

With its dark blue scales, snowflake-shaped white gems, eyes so deep they seemed to suck in souls, and three tails of different colors, Lu Bao, emitting a cold and powerful aura, was irresistibly attractive in the eyes of the Ice wild Pets.

Lu Bao searched quietly, ignoring these gazes.

“Steel Treasure.”

Seeing this scene, Steel Treasure suddenly thought of something and cried out in her mind, asking if they should let Lu Bao ask these Pets to help search, as it felt like they would agree.

“You actually want Lu Bao to use a honey trap! How can that be!” Qiao Sang said in surprise in her mind, then her gaze swept around. Seeing that there were indeed many wild Pets around, she paused and added, “However, this is not a bad idea.”

With that, she quickly walked towards Lu Bao.

Steel Treasure saw its Yu Beast Master’s quickly walking back, and a smile appeared in its eyes.

“Lu Bao, it’s like this, Steel Treasure just gave me an idea…” Qiao Sang came to Lu Bao’s side, lowered her voice, and babbled out the plan.

Steel Treasure’s mouth twitched when it heard the first sentence.

Lu Bao finished listening and gave her a faint glance.

Qiao Sang quickly said, “Of course, if you don’t want to, that’s perfectly fine.”

“Ice Emperor?”

Lu Bao withdrew its gaze, scanned the surrounding wild Pets, and then suddenly raised its voice and cried out, asking if everyone could do it a favor.

The Pets were first stunned, then all showed excited and thrilled expressions, nodding repeatedly.

Various sounds rang out simultaneously, all indicating their willingness.

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao cried out, indicating that it wanted to find ice wane crystal.

Qiao Sang cooperatively pulled out her phone, searched for a photo of ice wane crystal, displayed it, and said, “This is ice wane crystal.”

Some Pets cried out, indicating that they knew what ice wane crystal was, and immediately began searching. Other Pets looked at the photo before starting their search.

For a moment, almost all the surrounding wild Pets helped with the search, a spectacular sight.

Mi Jiala saw this scene and smiled, “Ice Emperor Ram’s charm is considerable.”

Dragon King ignored her and diligently searched for ice wane crystal.

“Spray, spray.” Pen Jiami cried out, indicating that Ice Emperor Ram was indeed quite charming.

After speaking, it suddenly felt a pang in its heart, an inexplicable palpitation.

Pen Jiami looked out at the sea.

It had a feeling of being watched. (End of Chapter)
