Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1175: Two heads (two in one)
“Xia Xia…”
Colored Flower Bud Shalala retracted her claws.
“Li Li.”
Liousias let out a sigh, then closed his eyes.
Colored Flower Bud Shalala stared at Liousias for a moment, then floated back to Qiao Sang’s side.
Liousias couldn’t possibly be in some kind of trouble, could he? Seeing this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but speculate.
She remembered that when Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s claw first touched the target, it was a pile of ice sculptures, and after touching them, she gave the answer that they were still alive.
As her thoughts flickered, Mi Jiala said:
“Then we’ll go back first.”
“Ya Ya.”
Before Qiao Sang could speak, Ya Bao called out from the side, indicating that it wouldn’t go back; it wanted to wait for the eye boogers.
There was only one Liousias, and the li fire crystal it needed for evolution was only on Liousias; if Liousias suddenly left, where else would it find the evolution material?
As soon as this was said, Liousias, who had his eyes closed, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his head in a different direction, and lay down, presenting the back of his head.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
“That’s good. The fire energy here is abundant, so it’s a good opportunity to absorb some.”
Speaking, she looked at Teacher Mi Jiala and said:
“How about I stay too? I can ask Liousias about fire-related questions. You can bring some food to see us when you come tomorrow.”
Her words were half-true and half-false. Wanting to stay was true; asking Liousias about fire-related questions was false. Ya Bao wasn’t very smart and probably had no concept of a divine level. She wasn’t at ease leaving it here alone. What she wanted Teacher Mi Jiala to bring wasn’t food, but rather some tear-inducing materials and tools.
Mi Jiala naturally understood the meaning behind Qiao Sang’s words. She pondered for two seconds and said:
“Okay, then I’ll come tomorrow.”
With Colored Flower Bud Shalala nearby, she was also at ease leaving Qiao Sang here.
To be honest, if Liousias really wanted to do something, even if she stayed here, it would be useless.
The power of a divine Pet was beyond human imagination.
Having said that, Mi Jiala looked at Pen Jiami.
Pen Jiami’s eyes glowed blue, then faded, and she shook her head, calling out:
“Pen Pen.”
At this time, the red barrier covering the cave was still present.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to have Xiao Xunbao use Shadow Penetration, the red barrier disappeared.
Mi Jiala glanced at the closed-eyed Liousias, then nodded to Pen Jiami.
Pen Jiami’s eyes glowed blue again, and she disappeared from the spot with her Yu Beast Master and Dragon King.
Qiao Sang surveyed her surroundings, then put down her backpack, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began Meditation.
Lu Bao lightly hopped out of the backpack.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao took off her ring and pulled out drinks, snacks, and some daily necessities from inside.
Qing Bao casually picked up a bag of snacks, opened it, and started eating.
Ya Bao came to Liousias’s side, took a look, then sighed and returned, closing its eyes to Meditate with its Yu Beast Master.
“Ting Ting…”
Ting Bao felt the surrounding temperature and seemed a bit irritable.
It was much hotter here than on the ground, and it was quite uncomfortable.
“Steel Chief.”
At this moment, Steel Treasure lowered its voice and called out.
Lu Bao, who had just received a box of ice wane crystal from Xiao Xunbao, without a word, spread the chill from its body.
Centered on it, the temperature within a radius of about ten meters instantly plummeted.
“Ting Ting…”
Only then did Ting Bao show a comfortable expression.
Colored Flower Bud Shalala watched this scene and couldn’t help but smile.
At the same time, Liousias, who knows when, turned his head, opened his eyes, and happened to see Colored Flower Bud Shalala smiling.
He was first startled, and his expression unconsciously softened.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
At this moment, Xiao Xunbao called out excitedly.
You’re not sleeping anymore!
Qiao Sang and Ya Bao opened their eyes and simultaneously turned their heads to look.
They saw that Liousias still had his eyes closed.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao called out somewhat embarrassed.
It just opened its eyes; I thought it wasn’t sleeping anymore.
“Let’s be quiet.” Qiao Sang lowered her voice and said, “Let Liousias rest well and don’t disturb him.”
Who knows if Liousias will secrete eye boogers from this sleep.
Ya Bao and the others nodded, some closing their eyes, some moving closer to Lu Bao, some eating, and continued with their own things.
Colored Flower Bud Shalala floated to Xiao Xunbao’s side and ate the fruit it offered.
The vast cave was filled with scorching heat, with only one-tenth of the area filled with icy cold, distinctly separated from the area where Liousias was.
Liousias, who knows when, opened his eyes again and watched this scene.
It was a scene of completely different temperatures and quantities, yet when combined, it was inexplicably harmonious.
Liousias stared at Colored Flower Bud Shalala eating for a while, then closed his eyes again.
Time slowly passed.
During this period, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao felt sleepy, and soon everyone, except Xiao Xunbao, fell asleep one by one.
There was no internet in the cave, so even with a phone, there was nothing fun to do. Xiao Xunbao could only bore itself by using Substitute and drilling in and out of the black hole with itself.
When it got tired of drilling, it would sneak over to Liousias’s side and stare at his eyes to see if there were any eye boogers.
After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Sang woke up and instinctively pulled out her phone to check; it was 7:30 AM.
She wondered if Liousias had developed eye boogers during this sleep…
As she thought, she looked in Liousias’s direction.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao appeared beside her, understood the meaning of her Yu Beast Master’s gaze, and called out in a low voice, indicating that he hadn’t produced eye boogers, and that it had just checked.
Qiao Sang felt a little disappointed upon hearing this.
It seemed that, as Liousias said, he couldn’t produce eye boogers. Now, she could only wait for Teacher Mi Jiala to bring back some tear-inducing materials and tools…
Just as she was thinking, the surrounding temperature suddenly soared, the air became distorted, and the chill around Lu Bao instantly weakened by several points.
As the temperature rose, Ya Bao and the others quickly woke up.
“Ting Ting!”
Ting Bao sprang up from the ground and let out a loud cry.
It was scorching hot!
“Ya Ya?”
Ya Bao’s sleepiness dissipated, and it showed a surprised expression, calling out.
What’s going on… Qiao Sang frowned and looked around.
Then she remembered something and her gaze fell on Liousias’s back.
After two seconds of hesitation, Qiao Sang walked to the front of Liousias, who had his back to her.
She saw him with his eyes closed, his expression somewhat struggling.
The temperature around him was terrifyingly high; the air was scorched and distorted, and suffocating heat waves rushed towards her.
Even with Qiao Sang’s current physique, it was somewhat unbearable.
Immediately, she felt her face begin to burn, and her eyebrows and hair quickly curled. She couldn’t help but retreat a few meters before feeling a little better.
There must be something wrong with Liousias’s body… Qiao Sang thought, then turned to Lu Bao and said:
“Healing Light.”
“Ice Emperor.”
Lu Bao called out, then the gem on its forehead glowed with a faint blue light, shining directly and precisely onto Liousias’s body.
As Healing Light was cast, Lu Bao’s brow furrowed slightly, feeling its internal energy rapidly draining, a phenomenon it had never experienced before.
Qiao Sang sensed Lu Bao’s confusion and hesitation, and inexplicably understood why, explaining:
“The stronger the being being treated, the more energy Healing Light requires.”
Even if the injuries and illnesses were the same, treating a higher-level Pet required much more energy than treating a lower-level Pet. This was something she only learned on Super Dormant Star.
It wasn’t that Lu Bao hadn’t treated beings stronger than itself, but this was the first time it was treating a divine-level one, which was why it felt the energy consumption so clearly.
“Ice Emperor.”
Lu Bao called out, indicating that it understood.
It said no more and continued to cast Healing Light.
Before long, the faint blue light disappeared, and Liousias’s expression returned to calm.
At the same time, the surrounding temperature dropped, returning to how it was when they first arrived.
Colored Flower Bud Shalala floated over, watching Liousias worriedly from his side.
“Ting Ting…”
Ting Bao felt the surrounding temperature drop, landed, and cautiously touched the tip of its tail to the ground. Seeing that the temperature was tolerable, it quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ya Ya?”
Ya Bao came to its Yu Beast Master’s side, looked at Liousias, and with a worried expression, called out, asking if he was alright.
Qiao Sang said without hesitation:
“He should be fine now.”
Lu Bao’s Healing Light was a skill comparable to a divine technique; unless it was old age or a congenital genetic disease, there was nothing it couldn’t cure.
“Ya Ya.”
Ya Bao relaxed upon hearing this.
The evolution material, li fire crystal, could only be produced by the guy in front of it; it couldn’t afford for anything to happen to him.
Colored Flower Bud Shalala also breathed a sigh of relief beside them.
While Qiao Sang and Ya Bao were talking, Liousias slowly opened his eyes.
He saw Colored Flower Bud Shalala close at hand and was startled.
“Xia Xia!”
Colored Flower Bud Shalala showed a surprised expression and called out.
“Li Li.”
Liousias stood up, gave Colored Flower Bud Shalala a smile, then turned to Qiao Sang and Lu Bao and called out, calmly expressing his gratitude.
Shouldn’t you be showing a shocked expression, saying something like, “Oh my, what an awesome skill is this,” and so on? You’re too calm. A divine Pet is indeed extraordinary… Qiao Sang complained inwardly while asking:
“You shouldn’t be feeling any discomfort anymore, right?”
“Li Li.”
Liousias looked over and called out.
“Steel Chief.”
Steel Treasure called out in its mind, helping to translate.
It said that it wasn’t uncomfortable at all.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Divine Pets sure love to act tough…
“Ya Ya!”
As thoughts flickered, Ya Bao called out.
Your expression was so pained; how could you not be uncomfortable?
Liousias looked at Ya Bao, his expression not showing any anger or embarrassment.
“It’s good that you’re fine.” Qiao Sang noticed Liousias’s gaze and quickly changed the subject: “Are you well-rested? I think Teacher Mi Jiala should be here soon.”
The implication was that the tear-inducing method could continue soon.
“Li Li.”
Liousias looked over and calmly called out, indicating that it was useless to try; he wouldn’t cry.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao showed an anxious expression of “What should we do then?”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao sighed.
It’s just that there’s no internet here; otherwise, if we watched tear-jerking movies, he would definitely cry.
“Qing Qing.”
Qing Bao floated over at some point, seemingly mockingly calling out, indicating that others’ tear thresholds wouldn’t be as low as yours.
No sooner had the words left its mouth than it noticed its Yu Beast Master looking at it.
Qing Bao’s heart tightened, and it adopted a well-behaved posture, blinking its eyes.
Could it be that she saw through its two-faced nature…
Just as Qing Bao’s heart pounded, Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up and she said:
“I’ve got it!”
“Qing Qing?”
Qing Bao breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to look puzzled on the surface, and called out.
Qiao Sang looked at Liousias, eagerly asking:
“Can you keep your eyes open without blinking like yesterday, and then let Qing Bao use Wind Transformation to blow into your eyes?”
She paused, then added:
“You need to try your best not to blink when the wind blows, that way there’s a high probability of tearing up.”
When eyes are exposed to wind, the tear glands are stimulated, leading to tearing.
Liousias stared at Qiao Sang for two seconds, then nodded:
“Li Li.”
Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s heart filled with joy, and she quickly turned and called out “Qing Bao,” gesturing with her eyes for it to go ahead.
“Qing Qing.”
Qing Bao called out, then transformed into Wind Transformation and disappeared.
Liousias no longer blinked.
A strange wind appeared around his head, constantly blowing into his eyes.
Liousias’s eyes didn’t blink once.
Time passed minute by minute. After about half an hour, Liousias finally narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Qing Qing…”
Qing Bao’s head appeared, its lower body still in the form of wind. It circled Liousias’s head, calling out wearily, asking how much longer it had to blow.
Qiao Sang didn’t give a direct answer, but said:
“Just a little longer!”
Qing Bao instantly understood that it would still be a long time.
It sighed deeply inwardly.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
At this moment, Xiao Xunbao called out from the side while eating tree fruit, indicating encouragement.
Qing Bao turned and saw Xiao Xunbao’s appearance, and an inexplicable surge of anger burned within its heart.
At the same time, a Typhoon began to blow around them.
Liousias, amidst the Typhoon, narrowed his eyes slightly again, but still did not blink.
Qing Bao’s head transformed into wind, accelerating, seemingly holding its breath, wanting to quickly make Liousias’s eyes tear up.
The wind grew faster and faster. The wind also grew stronger and stronger.
Qiao Sang had no choice but to take Colored Flower Bud Shalala and retreat a few steps.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao leaned into its Yu Beast Master’s ear and whispered.
It’s angry; the fifth one is definitely angry.
No sooner had it finished speaking than Qing Bao suddenly appeared beside Liousias.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao continued to whisper.
Look, look.
The wind did not stop, but rather blew furiously and rhythmically around Liousias’s head.
“Qing Qing!”
Just as Qiao Sang thought that Qing Bao was controlling the wind generated by its emotions to blow around Liousias, it suddenly looked over, called out happily, then transformed into wind, and continued to blow around Liousias.
The next second, Qing Bao’s head appeared, its lower body still in the form of wind, surrounding Liousias.
Immediately after, a second Qing Bao’s head appeared some distance behind Qing Bao’s head. (End of this chapter)
