Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 730: Ice field
Qiao Sang was startled for a moment and asked, “Why?”
She remembered Charles saying that it would take three days for the outdoor exploration, and only one day had passed.
Charles said with a complex expression, “The Sha Lu Dragon holds an unusual position in Mount Bazhi. If you’re targeted, we might be pursued by all the wild Pets if we continue to stay here.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang immediately thought of the He Huang Spider King and Zhao Guang Ma from just now.
Their attitude and positioning just now indeed seemed to be led by the Sha Lu Dragon.
“Then let’s leave quickly.” Qiao Sang didn’t dare to delay for a moment.
Although the previous encounter led to the evolution of Steel Treasure and Ice Ai, she absolutely did not want to experience it again.
After all, there were so many wild Pets here, and it wasn’t impossible for a few more Superpower System Pets capable of Space Lockdown to appear.
Carol had no objection to this. She was here for the Points, and as long as it wasn’t due to her own reasons, leaving early wouldn’t significantly impact her Points.
Charles nodded slightly and said to the mechanical canine Pet beside him, which had little presence and had remained quiet all along:
“You lead the way.”
The Chazhi Dog, a mechanical High-level Pet, could combine the data stored in its mind with a function similar to a tracking device to provide the optimal route.
“Chacha.”
The Chazhi Dog stepped forward, just about to start discerning the direction.
Qiao Sang said at this moment:
“If we’ve already been targeted, walking like this is still too dangerous. Tell me the general direction towards outside the mountain range, and I’ll directly have Xiao Xunbao use Space Movement to transfer us there.”
After a day of getting along, Charles and Carol naturally knew that Qiao Sang had named her Ghost Ring King, Xiao Xunbao.
Charles pondered for a moment, not immediately agreeing, but cautiously asked:
“What is the proficiency of your Ghost Ring King’s Space Movement?”
In his opinion, Space Movement was already a life-saving move in the wild, and continuous use could easily lead to fatigue. If the proficiency was average and the moving distance wasn’t far enough, it would be better to save it for a critical moment.
The proficiency of a Pet was considered a secret among some Professional Beast Tamers, but Qiao Sang wasn’t signing up for any major competitions recently, so she didn’t have such concerns.
“Profound Meaning,” she stated directly.
Carol was stunned.
Charles remained silent for a long time, then picked up the display screen and looked at it for a while, pointing towards the southwest: “Move in that direction.”
Qiao Sang nodded to Xiao Xunbao.
“Xunxun~”
Xiao Xunbao cried out, and then its eyes glowed blue.
… …
A thick fog shrouded the entire dense forest, with light, veil-like mist slowly drifting.
The next second, a group of figures appeared out of thin air in this place.
Various forms of small and medium-sized Pets scattered and fled.
“Xunxun…”
Xiao Xunbao panted, looking very weak.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang observed her surroundings and asked, “Is it safe here?”
Charles looked at the display screen in his hand and smiled: “It’s safe. This is already the outer circle of Mount Bazhi.”
“Then let’s rest for a bit,” Qiao Sang suggested.
Just as Charles had said earlier, she had been targeted by the Sha Lu Dragon. During the transfers, they were ambushed by a large number of wild Pets as soon as they landed, forcing Xiao Xunbao to use Space Movement without precise positioning, which consumed much more energy than expected.
Charles nodded: “Okay.”
Carol took out a pear-shaped, milky-white fruit from her backpack and handed it to Qiao Sang: “Give this to the Ghost Ring King to eat, it replenishes energy.”
As Qiao Sang took it, she asked with a curious mind:
“What is this?”
Carol was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Qiao Sang was from Blue Star, so it was normal for her not to know the fruit varieties of Super Dormant Star. She patiently replied:
“It’s a Doumu Fruit. It can replenish a Pet’s energy. Its pulp is soft and sweet, and almost all attribute Pets will like it.”
So it’s called Doumu Fruit… Qiao Sang handed the fruit to Xiao Xunbao.
“Xunxun!”
Xiao Xunbao took it, took a big bite, and then its eyes lit up, showing an expression of “so delicious.”
Qiao Sang came to the base of a tree, sat down cross-legged, and said:
“I’ll Meditate first. Call me when it’s time to leave.”
“Okay.” Charles nodded.
Yabao and Ice Ai came to their Yu Beast Master’s side, one on the left and one on the right, watching their surroundings vigilantly.
Qiao Sang closed her eyes.
She was meditating on the surface, but in reality, her consciousness had entered the yu beast codex.
The page turned.
It quickly came to the page about Ice Ai.

[Points: 2]
Two more characteristics? Qiao Sang was first stunned by the data in front of her, then overjoyed.
With the Water Storage characteristic, facing Water-type Pets of the same level in the future, even those in the late General-level, she would have absolutely nothing to fear!
And Snowfall!
Once summoned from the yu beast codex, it could change the weather to Snowfall for a certain period. Although it was a coveted beautiful characteristic for Pet Coordinators, for Professional Beast Tamers, this characteristic was also very practical. Aside from the opponent possibly being afraid of cold, many Ice Pets would double their combat power in Snowfall weather.
For example, Ice Ai’s Aurora Veil could only be used in Snowfall or Hail weather.
With this characteristic, if she wanted to defend, it would completely save the time of casting Snowfall!
Qiao Sang’s excited gaze shifted downwards.
Blizzard, a High-level Ice skill, can unleash a fierce Blizzard at the opponent to attack, sometimes causing the opponent to enter a frozen state. It is one of the few weather-type skills with strong offensive power.
This skill is good… After her evaluation, Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on Mega Ice Cone.
She wasn’t surprised that Ice Ai had this move; after all, it had used this move to attack the He Huang Spider King not long ago.
Mega Ice Cone, a High-level Ice skill, can condense a giant Ice Cone to attack the target. In the later stages, the Ice Cone can completely rival an iceberg…
Qiao Sang looked at the four characters “Ice Heaven Domain” and fell silent for a moment.
It had been a long time since she encountered a skill she didn’t know… But this move should be very powerful, after all, it has the word “Domain” in its name. Any skill with “Domain” in its name is very powerful.
This move should be the bloodline skill Ice Ai awakened after only using the Awakening Orb… I’ll check it later…
Qiao Sang shifted her gaze to the last skill, a little lost in thought.
This evolution, Ice Ai actually gained four more skills…
She had learned about this aspect: Pets often awaken new skills upon evolution, and depending on the Pet’s talent, there will be differences in the number and skill level of the awakened skills.
Three skills already belonged to the batch of Pets with extremely good talent.
Every time Yabao and the others evolved, they basically awakened three skills, with very few instances of four.
She didn’t expect Ice Ai to gain two more characteristics in this evolution, not to mention awakening four new skills… Could it be related to the Water-type Awakening Orb… Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts, focusing on the last skill, deep in thought.
Purification…
She didn’t know what kind of things it purified…
Qiao Sang was no longer as ignorant about Yu Beast knowledge as she once was, but some skills had different effects despite having the same name, which was also one of the favorite exam questions for teachers.
For example, Purification.
Specifically purifying negative effects is called Purification.
Specifically purifying curse effects is called Purification.
Specifically purifying dirty, murky water is also called Purification.
She thought that she would have to let Ice Ai try it specifically after returning to see what kind of Purification it was… Qiao Sang thought this while turning to the next page of the yu beast codex.
Information about Steel Treasure then appeared.
