Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1169: Menzhou (two in one)
Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating it wasn’t Diàn Sǐ Nǐ, but Electric Gentleman.
“So it wasn’t Diàn Sǐ Nǐ,” Qiao Sang said, “I thought it didn’t look like it… You sit first, we’ll start after dinner.”
“Electric, electric.”
Electric Bomb Weird politely nodded and sat on the sofa without asking what would start after dinner.
“I think we should be able to depart tomorrow.” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
After speaking, she quickly shoveled down her food, speeding up her eating.
Mi Jiala silently took out her phone and started buying plane tickets to Menzhou for tomorrow.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Suddenly, Xiao Xunbao looked at its Yu Beast Master, calling out with eyes full of anticipation, indicating that it wanted to change its name.
During its time on Yan Tian Star, it discovered that many Pets had very imposing names. Now that it was a King-level Pet with three little brothers, it was very necessary to change to an imposing name.
Xiao Xunbao, Xiao Xunbao, maybe its size was small because it was called that.
“Ya!”
As soon as these words came out, Ya Bao, who was eating Energy Pills in big mouthfuls, suddenly brightened its eyes, looked over, and let out an excited cry.
It wanted to change its name too!
Qiao Sang turned to look at it.
“Ya Ya…”
Ya Bao suddenly remembered that this was a name its Yu Beast Master had specifically given it, and had even asked for its opinion at the time. The excitement on its face immediately disappeared, and it sighed, calling out.
Forget it, it wouldn’t change it.
With that, it continued to eat the Energy Pills.
Qiao Sang took a sip of soup and looked at Xiao Xunbao, saying earnestly:
“You’ve already participated in so many competitions, accumulating many fans on both Blue Star and Super Dormant Star. Most of these fans know you as Xiao Xunbao, and they will come to the competition venue to cheer for you by calling your name. Are you sure you want to change it now?”
Steel Treasure silently glanced at its Yu Beast Master.
Fans? They already knew its name and would call its name to support it at the venue? Xiao Xunbao immediately shook its head repeatedly:
“Xun!”
No change!
It wouldn’t change its name!
Being called Xiao Xunbao is pretty good!
That’s right, how nice it is to be called Xiao Xunbao, it fits the image and is similar to the names of Ya Bao and the others, sounding like they are together… Qiao Sang quickly finished her meal and looked at Thunder Dragon, who had no appetite for the energy meal, and said:
“Let’s go, if you can’t eat, then don’t eat, we’re going to train.”
“Thunder!”
Thunder Dragon’s eyes lit up, it nodded, twisted its body, soared into the air, and flew towards the outdoor training ground.
Qiao Sang looked at Electric Bomb Weird, who was quietly sitting on the sofa, and said:
“Electric Gentleman, we’ve finished eating, come with me.”
Saying that, she walked towards the outdoor training ground.
“Electric, electric.”
Electric Bomb Weird got up, nodded slightly to Mi Jiala and Ya Bao, indicating that it was leaving, and then unhurriedly followed behind.
…
Outdoor training ground.
“Electric, electric?”
Electric Bomb Weird called out, asking what it needed to do.
A gust of wind blew, but no one answered.
“You translate.” Qiao Sang waited for a long time without Thunder Dragon speaking, and couldn’t help but say.
“Thunder, thunder.”
So it still needed to translate… Thunder Dragon called out, helping to translate.
“You just need to release Ice-type skills.” Qiao Sang said.
“Electric, electric.”
Electric Bomb Weird didn’t ask anything, directly assumed a horse stance, and raised its right hand into a fist.
“Sizzle~”
Yellow electric snakes crackled and jumped, completely enveloping its fist.
Thunder Punch, an intermediate-level Electric-type skill, physical contact attack… Qiao Sang looked at the skill Electric Bomb Weird was performing, paused for a moment, and added:
“You need to use special attack Electric-type skills.”
After a pause, she added again: “Attack it.”
After speaking, she gestured in Thunder Dragon’s direction with her eyes.
“Thunder, thunder.”
Thunder Dragon showed an expression of “I’m ready.”
“Electric, electric.”
Electric Bomb Weird called out, retracted Thunder Punch, and then yellow, slightly chaotic lightning wrapped around its body.
The next second, the yellow lightning floating around it instantly surged towards Thunder Dragon’s location.
Thunder Dragon took a step forward, opened its mouth, revealing a gaping maw, and actively met the lightning.
When performing the newly awakened skill, Qiao Sang had specifically mentioned the Thunder Devour characteristic to it.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the wild and unrestrained lightning power slammed into Thunder Dragon’s body.
For a moment, dazzling lightning power covered its entire body.
It seems Thunder Dragon didn’t swallow this lightning power… Qiao Sang looked at this scene and subconsciously began to analyze.
If the lightning could be swallowed, all this lightning power should have gone into its mouth.
As thoughts flickered, the lightning power on Thunder Dragon’s body dissipated, revealing its intact body.
“Electric, electric…”
Electric Bomb Weird looked at the unscathed Dragon-type Pet not far away, its brows slightly furrowed.
It felt that the Dragon-type Pet in front of it had a weak aura and should be a low-level Pet, but it didn’t expect its lightning power to have no effect on it.
“Did you swallow any lightning?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Thunder, thunder…”
Thunder Dragon felt it for a moment, and nodded uncertainly.
Probably.
Whether there is or not, you’ll know by looking… Qiao Sang didn’t say a word, her consciousness entered the yu beast codex, and she quickly flipped to the page about Thunder Dragon.
[Name: Thunder Dragon]
[Attributes: Dragon, Electric]
[Level: Intermediate (1103 / 10000) +]
It really did swallow and absorb some lightning… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up as she looked at the value after the level, but she quickly calmed down.
It only increased by three points, which means not much was absorbed. In terms of efficiency, it’s not as good as eating some Energy Pills or battling…
Qiao Sang’s consciousness returned to reality, and she looked at Electric Bomb Weird, saying:
“Thank you, I’ll give you a five-star review.”
“Electric, electric?”
Electric Bomb Weird was momentarily stunned, the task was already completed.
No one responded.
Qiao Sang looked at Thunder Dragon.
Thunder Dragon blinked.
“Translate.” Qiao Sang said with a helpless tone.
“Thunder, thunder.”
Thunder Dragon then called out, helping to translate.
“Yes, the task has been completed.” Qiao Sang nodded.
Is this a task issued by a rich person, just calling it over to perform an Electric-type skill… Electric Bomb Weird was receiving such an easy task for the first time, and couldn’t help but be in a daze for a while, nodding slightly, and calling out:
“Electric, electric.”
Then it turned and left.
At this moment, Mi Jiala walked from the direction of the living room and asked:
“Did you detect anything?”
Qiao Sang feigned a surprised expression and replied, “It should still have the Thunder Devour characteristic.”
Mi Jiala did not show any surprise, then thoughtfully said:
“I’ve heard that some Thunder Dragons will awaken the Thunder Devour characteristic. The prerequisite for having this characteristic is to have the Lightning Rod characteristic and a very strong physique. It is a relatively rare characteristic among Electric-type Pets.”
Teacher Mi Jiala is truly a walking encyclopedia… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, feigning disappointment on the surface:
“But Thunder Dragon doesn’t seem to swallow a lot of lightning power.”
To be honest, it wasn’t entirely feigned. Thunder Dragon’s Thunder Devour characteristic was B-rank. The description said it could devour lightning during thunderstorms. Electric Bomb Weird was a General-level Electric-type Pet, and the lightning power it unleashed was incomparably weaker than natural lightning. She had thought that if it could absorb it, it should be able to absorb it completely, but she didn’t expect it to only absorb a very small portion.
Mi Jiala heard this and smiled, popularizing knowledge:
“Thunder Dragon’s Thunder Devour characteristic should not be S-rank. Only S-rank Thunder Devour can indiscriminately devour lightning.”
“Other levels of Thunder Devour characteristic, even A-rank, can only devour lightning power that is energy-refined. Lightning power that is not pure enough, if swallowed, should only produce a feeling of fullness and will not increase stamina and energy.”
“If too much of this impure lightning power is absorbed, it can even cause harm to the body.”
“Thunder, thunder.”
Thunder Dragon listened carefully and nodded in agreement.
No wonder, it felt very full now.
Ever since the trip to Wanbing Island, it hadn’t disliked Mi Jiala as much and would occasionally strike up a conversation.
Your belly is full from eating a pile of tree fruits this morning, didn’t you see that you could barely eat a few bites of lunch… Qiao Sang silently glanced at Thunder Dragon and asked:
“Then can Thunder Dragon not casually swallow lightning unleashed by Pets?”
“It’s best not to.” Mi Jiala said: “The lightning power of Electric-type Pets, no matter how strong, is not as pure as that in nature. However, if its Thunder Devour characteristic can reach S-rank later, then there will naturally be no problem.”
Qiao Sang eagerly asked, “Is there any way to improve the Thunder Devour characteristic?”
Mi Jiala pondered for a moment and said:
“You can let Thunder Dragon absorb more lightning power during thunderstorms later. If it absorbs for a long time, it might be able to improve.”
The prerequisite for having the Thunder Devour characteristic is to have the Lightning Rod characteristic and a strong physique.
Thunder Dragon’s Lightning Rod is S-rank, and as a Dragon-type Pet, its physique will naturally become stronger with evolution. The two conditions it needs to meet, especially the former, are already perfect. In this situation, with Thunder Dragon’s future evolution and multiple absorptions of lightning, it is not impossible to improve the Thunder Devour characteristic.
“Can lightning from Pet-induced thunderstorms be absorbed?” Qiao Sang asked again.
Yan Tian Star has hot weather all year round. Although there hasn’t been a major drought in recent centuries, rainy days are still relatively rare, let alone thunderstorms. If Thunder Dragon were to absorb more natural lightning power, she could only think of having a Pet use that move to let it absorb… Mi Jiala smiled and said:
“Lightning weather is a skill that changes local weather phenomena, it’s lightning falling from nature, of course it can be absorbed.”
It seems I need to find a Pet that can create lightning weather to help Thunder Dragon absorb lightning power, or let Qing Bao improve the proficiency of Thunderstorm, so that when more lightning can strike, Thunder Dragon can swallow and absorb it, which also saves money on finding a Pet that can create lightning weather, killing multiple birds with one stone… Qiao Sang thought of this and couldn’t help but look towards the living room.
…
The next morning, Qiao Sang got up, quickly washed up, ate breakfast, said goodbye to You Zhen Meow, and then left the villa with Mi Jiala.
“Thunder, thunder…”
As soon as they stepped out, Thunder Dragon was extremely hot. Its current large size prevented it from entering the backpack, so it could only stay close to its Yu Beast Master, following her steps, crawling along while pressing its head against the backpack.
Its body was over two meters long, and its head was about the same size as the backpack. A slight lean on the outside would squeeze the Dew Treasure inside.
After being squeezed a few times like this,
Lu Bao emerged from the backpack, its expression unusually serious as it called out:
“Ice Emperor.”
Don’t move the backpack anymore.
After speaking, it burrowed back into the backpack.
“Thunder, thunder…”
Thunder Dragon showed a wronged expression.
It wasn’t like this before, why wouldn’t it let it lean now?
Just as it was feeling sad, Dew Treasure extended its paw and unzipped the backpack.
The next second, visible cold air rapidly spread outwards from the backpack.
The temperature within several meters around plummeted.
“Thunder!”
Thunder Dragon felt the sudden coolness, first startled, then happily called out towards the backpack.
Dew Treasure didn’t respond inside the backpack.
Qiao Sang felt the cooling air, but didn’t feel anything particularly significant, and continued to chat with Teacher Mi Jiala:
“Have you found a place to stay this time?”
“Of course.” Mi Jiala said: “Menzhou is considered a high-temperature area on the entire Yan Tian Star. If there isn’t a cool place to stay, Colored Flower Bud Shalala and the others simply can’t endure it.”
Menzhou, after the fire meteor fell a hundred years ago, became a super high-temperature area. It was fine indoors, but unbearable outdoors.
Many Yu Beast Masters, in order to combat the intense heat, would spend a great deal of money to contract Water-type and Ice-type Pets when they first officially became Yu Beast Masters and contracted their first Pet. If an individual or family had poor conditions, they would settle for less and contract Fire-type Pets.
After all, as Fire-type Pets evolve, Yu Beast Masters can receive feedback, gaining some resistance to the heat to a certain extent.
It’s definitely just for Colored Flower Bud Shalala… Qiao Sang thought to herself.
“Let’s go.” Mi Jiala looked at Pen Jiami and said.
“Spray, spray.”
Pen Jiami called out, its eyes glowing blue.
The next second, the two people and a group of Pets disappeared from the spot.
Three hours later.
Menzhou, Barrier Night Hawk landed smoothly.
The passengers exited the Barrier Night Hawk, and immediately took out Ice balls and a series of cooling tools to cool down.
But even so, many people and Pets still wailed.
Qiao Sang carried Colored Flower Bud Shalala off the plane, her expression unchanged, not even a drop of sweat appearing.
Xiao Xunbao, Qing Bao, and Thunder Dragon were close to her, feeling as if bathed in a spring breeze.
Even Steel Treasure silently moved closer to its Yu Beast Master.
The tourists who disembarked at the same time seemed to sense something and followed closely beside them.
If Qiao Sang took a quick step, they took a quick step; if Qiao Sang took a slow step, they took a slow step, as if they were a tourist group.
Finally, someone couldn’t help but come closer, enduring Dragon King’s scrutinizing gaze, and asked:
“Hello, may I ask what kind of item you are carrying? Why is the temperature so low around you?”
The people and Pets around them all pricked up their ears.
Qiao Sang turned her head, seeing the other party’s eager expression, and smiled:
“I’m not carrying any items, it’s the cool air emanating from my Pet.”
As soon as these words came out, the people around immediately scanned their eyes over Ya Bao and the others, trying to find out which Pet it was.
Finally, everyone’s gaze fell on Qing Bao.
Qing Bao: “???”
At this moment, a white fox-like Pet, about sixty centimeters in size, slowly grew larger in front, stopping at about six meters.
Then, it wagged its tail, emitting a cool aura, and walked forward with a rather arrogant gait.
The crowd and the Pets’ eyes instantly lit up, and they immediately abandoned Qiao Sang, quickly following. (End of this chapter)
