Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1226: Ask for leave
On the grassland.
The ant-type insect-type pet beasts squeezed to the front, calling out twice:
“Hei hei.”
“Hei hei.”
“Ting Ting!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tingbao’s forehead veins bulged, and it let out a roar.
Some insect-type pet beasts, afraid to approach, were startled and scattered.
“What did this insect-type Pet beast say?” Qiao Sang asked in a low voice.
“Ya Ya.”
Xiao Yabao barked, helping to translate.
That earth-land dragon was unwilling to fight Xiao Tingbao, saying it was a defeated opponent.
Qiao Sang: “…”
No wonder Xiao Tingbao was so angry…
If it’s unwilling to battle, it’s hard to handle. It’s impossible to force the other party to compete. According to the competition rules, once one party clearly refuses to battle, they must not repeatedly invite them in a harassing manner. Otherwise, if reported, they will face a suspension of varying lengths depending on the severity of the offense.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then looked at the talking ant-type insect-type Pet beast and asked:
“Can you take us to see the earth-land dragon?”
“Hei hei.”
The ant-type insect-type Pet beast shook its head without thinking.
At this moment, Xiao Xunbao suddenly floated forward, looking at it, its eyes glowing blue.
The ant-type insect-type Pet beast’s eyes instantly became vacant.
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao called out.
“Hei hei.”
The ant-type insect-type Pet beast nodded with a vacant expression, then turned and began to lead the way.
Xiao Tingbao’s originally angry expression froze for a moment.
Well done… Qiao Sang gave Xiao Xunbao an approving look.
“Ting Ting.” Xiao Tingbao’s eyes lit up, and it called out.
Boss is so amazing.
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao’s lips curved into a smile, adopting a boss-like demeanor, and called out, indicating that it was a small matter.
It seems Xiao Tingbao genuinely recognizes Xiao Xunbao as its boss… Qiao Sang suppressed the upward curve of her lips and followed behind the ant-type Pet beast with Xiao Yabao and the others.
The surrounding insect-type pet beasts looked at each other, then all followed.
Before long, the ant-type Pet beast stopped under a tree, pointed to a hole in the ground, and called out:
“Hei hei.”
“Is the earth-land dragon down there?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Hei hei.” The ant-type Pet beast nodded with a vacant expression.
Immediately after, its expression suddenly cleared.
When it saw its surroundings, it showed a startled expression and cried out:
“Hei hei?!”
How did it get here?!
“Jie jie jie~”
Xiao Xunbao gave it a villainous smile.
Of course, it’s because of me.
“Hei hei!”
The ant-type Pet beast showed a terrified expression and burrowed into the ground at the fastest speed of its life, disappearing from sight.
“Ting Ting.”
Xiao Tingbao called out impatiently, indicating that it was going to find that guy now.
Having said that, its head was about to burrow into the hole.
Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, and she quickly stopped it, saying, “Don’t go in, you can’t burrow.”
“Ting Ting?”
Xiao Tingbao pulled its head out, called out, indicating how to call that guy out.
Qiao Sang began to ponder inwardly.
Forcibly inviting a battle is definitely not allowed by the competition rules. According to Yan Tian Star’s customs, even if it’s not a competition, Yu Beast Masters or Pets generally agree to battle invitations. The other party simply dislikes Xiao Tingbao for being too weak to battle. If that’s the case, then as long as the other party knows Xiao Tingbao isn’t weak and becomes interested in battling it, that’s good…
As thoughts flickered, a black hole appeared out of thin air in front of Xiao Xunbao, and it burrowed into it.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow and did not stop it.
Regardless of whether the earth-land dragon would agree to battle, a conversation with it was necessary.
Three seconds later, Xiao Xunbao emerged from the black hole, grasping the earth-land dragon.
“Tu Tu!”
The earth-land dragon struggled.
Although its size seemed much larger than Xiao Xunbao, it couldn’t break free from its grip at all.
Qiao Sang coughed and said, “Xiao Xunbao, be gentle.”
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao placed the earth-land dragon on the ground.
The earth-land dragon cautiously looked at the human in front of it and the other Pet beast that looked very majestic and elegant, then sneered at Xiao Tingbao and called out:
“Tu Tu.”
You can’t beat me, so you brought a helper, huh?
Xiao Tingbao’s forehead veins bulged.
Even if it didn’t understand, it knew it wasn’t good words… Qiao Sang spoke before Xiao Tingbao could:
“I am its Yu Beast Master. Xiao Tingbao wants to battle you again. Even if it doesn’t count for points, it’s fine. I hope you can agree.”
Xiao Tingbao heard its Yu Beast Master speak and suppressed the words it was about to say.
“Tu Tu.”
The earth-land dragon looked over, showing a disdainful expression, and called out.
I’ve already said, I won’t battle a defeated opponent again.
“Ting Ting!”
Xiao Tingbao could no longer tolerate it. Yellow electric arcs crackled around its body, and it looked at the earth-land dragon furiously.
“Tu Tu.”
The earth-land dragon again showed a disdainful expression, then raised its paw, revealing the point recorder on it, and was about to press the red button.
“Wait!” Qiao Sang’s eyelids twitched when she saw the red button, and she quickly stopped it.
To ensure fairness and impartiality in the competition, if any contestant violates the competition rules, they can be reported. The red button on the point recorder is the report button.
Once pressed, it will record the current process in real-time and upload it. After the backend confirms the violation of rules, a series of penalties, such as suspension, will be imposed.
The earth-land dragon looked over, showing an expression of “Let’s see what you have to say.”
“If you’re unwilling to battle, we certainly won’t force you,” Qiao Sang said. “But are you unwilling to battle Xiao Tingbao because you’re afraid it will win this time?”
“Tu Tu?”
The earth-land dragon sneered.
Are you trying to provoke me?
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao helped translate.
Such a clever Pet beast, it even knows about provocation… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and asked:
“What would it take for you to be willing to battle again?”
If possible, she really wanted Xiao Xunbao to use Taunt, but once a Pet is Taunted, it loses its composure in battle and won’t fight strategically, especially since the level difference between Xiao Xunbao and the earth-land dragon is too great. The effect of Taunt would definitely impact the entire battle, and such a match is not what Xiao Tingbao wants, nor what she wants.
“Tu Tu.”
The earth-land dragon glanced at Xiao Tingbao.
Unless it’s stronger than me.
“Xun Xun~” Xiao Xunbao helped translate.
Qiao Sang patiently said, “If you’re not even willing to fight it, how do you know it’s not stronger than you now?”
“Tu Tu.”
The earth-land dragon called out very confidently.
I don’t need to fight to know it’s not stronger than me, it’s a defeated opponent who just lost to me three days ago.
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao helped translate.
“Ting Ting!”
Xiao Tingbao showed an angry expression, yellow electric arcs flashing around its body, and was about to charge at the earth-land dragon.
“Ya Ya.”
At this moment, Xiao Yabao called out.
Its Yu Beast Master said that this little guy has the Lightning Rod ability. Your electric-type attacks are useless.
“Ting Ting…”
Xiao Tingbao’s angry expression froze, and the electric arcs on its body disappeared.
Immediately, it thought of something, and its angry expression reappeared. It raised its paw, which glowed with a silvery-white light, and roared:
“Ting Ting!”
Qiao Sang called out helplessly, “Xiao Tingbao.”
“Ting Ting…”
Xiao Tingbao’s angry expression turned to one of grievance, and it lowered its paw.
“Tu Tu.”
The earth-land dragon looked at Xiao Tingbao, sneered, then showed off the point recorder worn on its paw, and called out, indicating that if it bothered it again to make it battle, it would report it.
Having said that, it burrowed its head into the ground and disappeared from sight.
Qiao Sang watched the earth-land dragon’s actions and did not stop it.
Just from the earth-land dragon’s attitude just now, she knew that no matter what she said, the other party would not willingly accept a battle.
“Ting Ting.”
Xiao Tingbao’s face fell, and yellow electric arcs subconsciously appeared around its body.
It was unhappy, very unhappy.
“Ting Ting?”
Xiao Tingbao turned its head to its Yu Beast Master with an unhappy expression, calling out, indicating whether it should just let it go.
“There’s nothing we can do. The other party isn’t willing to battle you right now,” Qiao Sang said.
Xiao Tingbao’s face fell a little more.
“But it’s not a big problem. We just need to find a way to make it battle you,” Qiao Sang continued.
“Ting Ting?”
Xiao Tingbao froze for a moment, the electric arcs on its body disappeared, and it called out impatiently.
What way?
Qiao Sang recalled the earth-land dragon’s interview content and calmly said, “The earth-land dragon isn’t willing to battle you because it thinks you’re too weak, but what if you become the number one in points?” (End of this chapter)
