Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 45: Martian rain
Qiao Sang led her Fire Fang Dog to a nearby alley.
The Fire Fang Dog vaguely felt something was off.
But the aroma of the super invincible ultra spicy grilled wings numbed its thoughts.
Without overthinking, the Fire Fang Dog took the grilled wings offered by its Yu Beast Master and bit into them.
The meat was tender and quite delicious.
The Fire Fang Dog’s eyes lit up, and just as it was about to take a second bite, the next second…
“Ya!!!”
A miserable cry echoed through the deserted alley.
Passersby at the alley’s entrance stopped and peered in, thinking some Pet abuse incident had occurred.
Looking inside, they saw a girl standing quietly nearby, while the Fire Fang Dog frantically shot Flame Jet at the wall.
It turned out to be a Fire-type Pet going mad for no reason.
The pedestrians came to a conclusion, and not wanting to be targeted by a Fire-type Pet, they all pretended not to see anything and continued on their way.
“Fire Fang Dog, hold on, compress, compress, try to shoot again after compressing,” Qiao Sang reminded her.
“Ya!!!”
The Fire Fang Dog’s wet eyes were truly moist.
She cried…
Compress?
What compression?
She only knew she was going to die from the spice!!!
Heat surged in her stomach, the spiciness went to her head, filling her nasal cavity and throat.
“Ya!!!”
The Fire Fang Dog unconsciously shot Flame Jet, only wanting to relieve her throat and stomach a little.
Qiao Sang clearly felt that the Fire Fang Dog’s Spark tended to develop from a spherical shape into a columnar one, so she quickly took out her phone and recorded the scene.
When the Fire Fang Dog was tired from shooting and sat on the ground exhausted, Qiao Sang took out the qi yuan milk from her backpack, opened it, and handed it over.
The Fire Fang Dog immediately held the milk with both paws and drank it in large gulps; in no time, the milk was gone.
Her eyes, still tearful, stared pitifully at Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang understood her meaning.
“No, I only brought four bottles of milk in total, and I need to save some for you to drink later,” Qiao Sang refused.
Recently, her funds had shrunk significantly, with only expenses and no income, so the amount of qi yuan milk she needed to drink after training every day had to be reduced by nearly half.
Drink later, why can’t she drink now?
The Fire Fang Dog looked at her with bewildered eyes, not understanding, until her Yu Beast Master handed another string of grilled wings to her.
“Ya!”
The Fire Fang Dog instantly retreated to the corner, shaking her head desperately.
This was what made her like this!
She swore she would never eat this again!
Qiao Sang came to the Fire Fang Dog’s side, squatted down, and showed her the video she had just recorded on her phone.
“Look, is the Flame Jet you just shot not quite the same as your usual Spark?”
The Fire Fang Dog watched herself in the video, dumbfounded by the spiciness.
In the video, her fur stood on end, tears and snot streamed down her face; she was nowhere near the handsome and dashing appearance she had when she looked in the mirror this morning.
“Ya Ya!”
The Fire Fang Dog covered her eyes with her paws, refusing to admit that the ungraceful Fire Fang Dog in the video was herself.
Sensing the Fire Fang Dog’s thoughts, Qiao Sang paused for a moment; she had forgotten that the Fire Fang Dog cared about her image…
It seemed she could only resort to another trick…
Qiao Sang picked up her phone and searched for videos of other Fire-type Pet competitions, specifically adding the keywords ‘cool and handsome’.
Without previewing, she directly clicked on the video with the highest recent views, put it in front of the Fire Fang Dog, and said, “Take a look.”
The Fire Fang Dog peeked through a gap in her paws, and seeing that it wasn’t the embarrassing video of herself, she put her paws down.
In the video, the Blazing Mane Lion had a head of fiery red curly hair; it let out a long roar, stomped its right front paw, and an egg-sized flame condensed above its head.
The flame, condensing terrifying energy, rose higher and higher, then scattered like fireworks, with beautiful Sparks falling down.
The Fire Fang Dog was attracted by the scene in the video, but before she could admire it for long, the beautiful scene was destroyed by a series of shocking explosions as the Sparks landed.
Dust and smoke rose in the video frame, and when the explosions ceased and the dust settled, the ground was a ruin.
Pitted holes covered the entire area, and the opponent’s body was charred black, unrecognizable.
The beautiful scene instantly turned into a horror show.
The Fire Fang Dog stared at the video motionlessly.
Qiao Sang was stunned after watching the video; although she wanted the Fire Fang Dog to see cool Fire-type skills, she didn’t mean such high-difficulty skills!
She wanted her to see skills like Flame Jet, Fireball, and Flame Impact, which even a Beginner Pet could learn.
The Mars Rain released by the Blazing Mane Lion in the video was an advanced skill, not something the Fire Fang Dog could learn at this stage.
Qiao Sang wanted to change the video, but seeing the Fire Fang Dog next to her still immersed in the previous scene.
Her mind turned, and she tempted her, “Want to learn?”
The Fire Fang Dog’s eyes instantly lit up; she raised her head and looked at her Yu Beast Master with longing.
Guessed right!
Qiao Sang secretly praised herself for her quick wit.
“Actually, everything I did just now was to help you comprehend new skills. Did you feel that the Spark you just shot was different from before? These grilled wings are the key to activating the energy in your body. As long as you listen to me and keep practicing, you will definitely be able to learn the Mars Rain in the video,” Qiao Sang coaxed.
Learning Mars Rain was impossible, but learning other low-level Fire-type skills was possible.
“Ya!”
The Fire Fang Dog nodded solemnly after hearing her Yu Beast Master’s words.
She completely forgot her pathetic appearance in the video and the taste of the grilled wings; she only wanted to wholeheartedly learn this incredibly cool skill.
“When you finish the grilled wings later, don’t just shoot fire wildly. Gather the surging energy, compress it, and then release it,” Qiao Sang seized the opportunity to instruct.
“Ya!”
The Fire Fang Dog responded forcefully, extending her paw and heavily taking the string of things she had sworn never to eat again.
She closed her eyes, held her breath, and bit into the grilled wings as if going to her death.
“Ya!!!”
The familiar sensation surged up.
“Compress!” Qiao Sang reminded her from the side.
The Fire Fang Dog resisted the urge to immediately shoot fire, composed herself, and felt the energy within her body, compressing it as much as possible.
Until she felt it was compressed to its limit, the Fire Fang Dog could no longer hold back and shot out the gathered Flame Jet.
Unlike the usual Spark, and not the columnar flame from just now, a scorching Flame Jet shot out rapidly in a swirling motion.
Before Qiao Sang could understand what skill this was…
“Boom boom boom!”
A sound of bricks and stones falling to the ground came from her ears.
The wall collapsed…
Qiao Sang’s vision went black, and she stood frozen, making eye contact with the old man with a cane from the opposite wall.
The Fire Fang Dog looked at the power of her Flame Jet with satisfaction, momentarily forgetting to ask for milk to relieve the spiciness, and turned to look at her Yu Beast Master excitedly, waiting for praise.
Before she could admire her masterpiece for another moment, her body was lifted into the air.
It turned out her Yu Beast Master was carrying her and running away.
“Ya?”
The Fire Fang Dog looked bewildered.
Weren’t they going to learn new skills?
Why run?
Qiao Sang was extremely flustered.
Did that old man see her just now?
He must have…
Her appearance must have been remembered too…
After all, she was so good-looking…
