Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1208: Destination: Huachang City

A mass of black mist permeated the human body in front of them, but the golden flames did not directly burn the black mist to ashes as before.

Ya! Treasure remembered her Yu Beast Master’s words and showed a focused expression.

The next second, the golden flames concentrated on burning the black mist, and then the black mist in the body significantly weakened.

Ya! Treasure maintained the release of Sacred Fire, incinerating the black mist.

After about six seconds, the black mist in the opponent’s body completely disappeared.

The golden flames vanished.

A burly, tall man with a full beard appeared before them.

His face was full of comfort, looking completely intoxicated.

“Cough cough.”

Qiao Sang coughed, and the strong man snapped back to reality, asking in a rough voice, “Is it over?”

This voice clearly startled him.

Zheng Dazhuang was first stunned, and without waiting for Qiao Sang’s reply, he turned and rushed into the bathroom impatiently.

An excited voice followed:

“Oh my god! Oh my god! I’m back! I’m back!”

After admiring his original appearance, Zheng Dazhuang excitedly returned to the living room this time, expressing his gratitude:

“Big shot…”

His voice abruptly stopped.

The living room was empty, with no one in sight.

Time slowly passed.

Qiao Sang finished one task and then busied herself with having Little Qunbao use Space Movement to quickly move on to the next task.

Before nightfall, all the curse removal tasks were completed.

“You can now clearly see the location of the black mist within the opponent’s body and then concentrate on burning and Purification, right?” Qiao Sang asked on the way back.

“Ya! Ya!” Ya! Treasure nodded.

“You purified so many curses just now, which one did you find the most difficult?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Ya! Ya.”

Ya! Treasure thought for a moment, then let out a cry, indicating that the one where the human’s brain was damaged and the black mist was concentrated in the head was the most difficult.

Qiao Sang thought to herself that it seemed some curses were not judged by the length of time they were cast, but by the degree of their evilness to distinguish the difficulty of Purification.

She originally didn’t plan to take on the Purification task for a cursed person whose brain had become foolish, but the details stated that they had only been cursed for one day. Thinking that the cursed time wasn’t long, and wanting to see if Ya! Treasure could currently purify this type of curse, she took it.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the most difficult to purify. She had originally thought the most difficult to purify would be the gender-changing curse.

After all, that curse had existed for three months, and only a relatively powerful curse force could possibly exist for such a long time.

It seemed that, in the future, the curse removal tasks she took for Ya! Treasure could be slightly more difficult… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she walked into the hotel, took the elevator, and opened the suite.

“How were the tasks today?” Mi Jiala sat on the sofa, heard the movement, and turned to ask directly.

“I took seven in total, and all were completed successfully,” Qiao Sang said. “The most difficult to remove was a curse that made someone foolish, but it was fine, it just took a little more time.”

Mi Jiala pondered for a moment, then said:

“The curse you mentioned is the Curse of Dementia. This is a relatively evil curse. If the Ghost-type Pet Beast casting this move has high proficiency, in the early stages, it will cause the target to lose their intelligence, gradually becoming like a three-year-old child in terms of IQ. In the later stages, it will cause the target to lose all reason and be unable to communicate at all.”

“That serious,” Qiao Sang said, surprised.

The cursed target she saw today only had some common sense issues that were unclear.

“The longer this curse drags on, the more severe it becomes,” Mi Jiala explained. “A Pet that can generally purify curses might be able to purify the early stages of the Curse of Dementia, but they cannot remove the Curse of Dementia that has reached the later stages. The difficulty of Purification is completely different.”

Qiao Sang processed the information for a moment, then sighed:

“It’s a good thing that person was only cursed for one day before encountering me and Ya! Treasure.”

If the cursed time had been too long, she wasn’t sure if Ya! Treasure could purify it.

Mi Jiala smiled and said, “Pack up tonight, and we’ll depart for Hua Chang City tomorrow.”

Qiao Sang paused, “Hua Chang City?”

Mi Jiala smiled and said, “That’s right, this city has the most flowers and plants in Dragon Country, and it’s also the warmest city, very suitable for a trip.”

After speaking, she looked at Colored Flower Bud Shalala with gentle eyes.

“Xia Xia.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala happily called out to her.

After such a long time together, it knew that the human in front of it had specifically chosen this place for it.

Seeing this, Mi Jiala’s heart stirred, and she restrained the upward curve of her lips, wishing she could depart tonight.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“That fast? I’ve only done tasks for one day…” Qiao Sang said.

“Didn’t you say all the tasks you took were completed?” Mi Jiala was in a good mood and said with a smile, “When we arrive in Hua Chang City, you can go to the Yu Beast Center to take curse removal tasks just the same.”

That’s true… Qiao Sang asked, “Will we be staying there for a long time?”

“I think, at least for a month,” Mi Jiala finished, then said, “That city is currently hosting a Pet free-for-all points battle competition, which ends in a month. The champion Pet will receive a free slot to enter an energy pool.”

Qiao Sang was shocked: “Energy pool?”

Since becoming a Yu Beast Master, she had experienced many competitions and fortuitous encounters, and had only obtained two opportunities to soak in an energy pool in total.

One was obtained by winning the Beastmaster Star Tournament when she was on Super Dormant Star, and the other was a free slot given to her by Dean Theresa. These two opportunities to soak in an energy pool greatly shortened the time it took for Lu Bao and Steel Treasure to accumulate energy, so she naturally knew how rare this opportunity to soak in an energy pool was.

She never expected to encounter another opportunity now!

The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the more excited she became, her first reaction was to look at Ya! Treasure.

Currently, only Ya! Treasure was Emperor-level. If any of the Pets could absorb the energy pool to the greatest extent, it would undoubtedly be Ya! Treasure!

“Ya! Ya!”

Ya! Treasure also perked up, wagging its tail and looking excitedly at her Yu Beast Master.

It didn’t consider anything about an energy pool or not; it only heard the word “competition” and it wanted to compete!

Just as Qiao Sang and Ya! Treasure were excitedly looking at each other, Mi Jiala said faintly:

“Only intermediate-level Pets can participate.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Ya! Treasure: “…”

“The organizer of this competition is an Emperor-level Pet called Tao Yepade, which has an exclusive territory, and it was also its request to only allow intermediate-level Pets to participate,” Mi Jiala said. “Moreover, it only allows Pets to participate. Even if the registered Pet is already contracted, the Yu Beast Master is not allowed to direct it during battle.”

Intermediate-level Pets… That’s good, Ting Bao happens to be an intermediate-level Pet. Dragon-type Pet Beasts grow slowly, so if it gets this energy pool slot, it would be a great gain… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up again and she said:

“If it’s intermediate-level Pets, then Ting Bao can participate.”

Mi Jiala looked over and calmly added, “You can register if you go now, but this competition lasts for half a year, and it has already been ongoing for five months, with only one month remaining.”

Qiao Sang: “???” (End of Chapter)
