Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 789: District 30
30th District.
Airport.
After the plane landed, Qiao Sang had just turned off Flying mode when she received a barrage of messages from Lamal:
【Why didn’t you come find me today?】
【Does Flame Qilu still need to practice at noon?】
【You haven’t given up, have you!】
【Actually, I think Flame Qilu still has a great chance!】
【If you don’t need Immortal Treasure Butterfly anymore, can you, for the sake of the training we did recently, not forget to watch the Coordination Competition.】
I forgot to tell Lamal… Qiao Sang replied:
【Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I had something urgent come up and went to another district. Training will resume when I get back.】
Lamal seemed to be glued to her phone, replying instantly:
【No worries, no worries. When are you coming back?】
Qiao Sang replied while getting off the plane: 【Not sure yet.】
Lamal sent a string of 【crying】 emojis: 【Then can you make it back in time for the Coordination Competition!】
Qiao Sang was about to reply when she heard Teacher Pilit suddenly say:
“Be careful.”
Immediately after, the surrounding passengers who had just disembarked let out exclamations of surprise.
Qiao Sang realized something, looked up, and saw various Flying-type Pets circling high in the sky, staring down menacingly.
Suddenly, a five-meter-tall azure bird Pet glowed with azure light and plunged down from high in the sky like a burning azure meteor streaking across.
“Bang!”
As the azure light approached the airport, it was blocked by an invisible Barrier.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please do not worry. We will ensure the safety of all tourists within the airport. Please take your personal belongings and exit in an orderly fashion.” A sweet voice came from the broadcast.
As the voice faded, another Flying-type Pet swooped down from above, but it was still blocked by the Barrier.
This is the 30th District… Qiao Sang’s heart tightened, her sense of security skyrocketed, and without a word, she formed hand seals.
Two orange-yellow Star Arrays lit up simultaneously.
At this moment, almost all tourists who had just gotten off the plane were forming hand seals, and Star Arrays were lighting up everywhere. The two orange-yellow Star Arrays were not particularly conspicuous among them.
Soon, Lu Bao and Steel Treasure appeared within the Star Arrays.
People nearby turned their gazes over.
No matter when or where, unfamiliar Pets always attract attention.
“Follow me closely, and stay alert to your surroundings.” Qiao Sang said solemnly.
She had been to the Lower Tenth District before and understood that it was better to summon Pets directly for close protection; otherwise, if real danger struck, there wouldn’t even be time to form hand seals.
“Ya!” Ya Bao, who had been following nearby, was the first to cry out.
“Xiao Xunbao~” The invisible Xiao Xunbao appeared, took off her ring, rummaged through it, pulled out the backpack her Yu Beast Master usually carried, and handed it over.
Qiao Sang understood what she meant, reached out to take it, unzipped it, and put it on her back.
“Ice Ai.”
Lu Bao leaped lightly into the backpack.
Xiao Xunbao re-hid her figure, her功 and 名 deeply concealed.
“Steel Slash.”
Steel Treasure glanced at the sky, revealing a solemn expression. Immediately after, its body slowly grew larger, returning to its original size.
Feeling all four of her Pets by her side, Qiao Sang instantly felt a sense of security.
Pilit watched Qiao Sang’s series of actions from the side, his mouth twitching slightly. Then he looked up at the Flying-type Pets still circling in the sky, and his heart sank.
He naturally knew that the 30th District was a dangerous area, but his initial purpose for coming to Super Dormant Star was for tourism and relaxation, and he had never been to the 30th District.
Unlike secret realms, where as long as one didn’t venture into dangerous areas, the number of Pets encountered was within a manageable range, and one could occasionally set up camp and enjoy a good meal. But looking at the 30th District, it seemed to be full of wild Pets…
Thinking of this, Pilit patted his head and called out: “Come out.”
The next second, one of the hairs on his head suddenly swelled and thickened, wiggling like a worm as if it had come alive. Then it jumped down, its surface grew black fuzz, its body slowly grew taller and larger, its head popped out and expanded, its eyes were blue, and a pair of brown antennae wrapped around its cheeks.
Then two pairs of black wings and limbs grew, and it stood with its arms crossed.
In an instant, it transformed into a Pet about three meters tall.
“Fa Fa.”
The black moth-type Pet let out a low cry. The Pets that the surrounding tourists had just summoned immediately seemed to sense something terrifying and retreated in unison, moving far away.
Seeing the scene before her, Qiao Sang’s sense of security instantly surged to a certain height.
Fa Miao E, an Imperial-level Insect-type Pet, is highly aggressive. It usually transforms into hair and grows on the Yu Beast Master’s head for protection.
When moving through the air, Teacher Pilit mostly used Fa Miao E, so Qiao Sang was not unfamiliar with it.
“How should we proceed?” Qiao Sang asked.
Pilit thought for a moment and said: “Let’s find a place to stay first.”
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “Haven’t you booked a place to stay in advance?”
Pilit glanced at her: “We came in such a hurry, where would we have time to book?”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Alright, alright, free spirit… Qiao Sang suggested: “How about we just stay at the Yu Beast Center?”
Even in the 30th District, the Yu Beast Center is a safe place.
“Okay.” Pilit nodded: “Then let’s go to the Yu Beast Center.”
Leaving the airport, Qiao Sang sat on Steel Treasure with Ya Bao in her arms, while Pilit sat on Fa Miao E.
The two flew high into the sky.
Although Fa Miao E was not large, the aura of a strong individual emanating from it caused the surrounding wild Pets to actively stay away.
As expected, notifying Teacher Pilit was the correct decision… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she looked down from high in the sky.
There were many wild Pets walking below, and quite a few Pets also had people sitting on their backs.
Unlike other places in the Lower Tenth District she had visited, in the 30th District, vehicles were almost never seen driving below; transportation seemed to be entirely by Pets.
At this moment, a large blob of green feces fell from the sky.
Just as it was about to land on Qiao Sang’s head, the green feces stopped in mid-air.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao appeared, her eyes glowing blue.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao looked up, baring her teeth and showing a fierce expression.
Higher than where Steel Treasure was Flying, a bird-type Pet about six meters tall showed a regretful expression, then flapped its wings and left.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang only reacted when she heard Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao’s movements, and followed their gaze to look back.
When she saw a blob of falling feces at the spot they had just passed, she instantly understood something.
Holy cow, I almost got pooped on… Qiao Sang felt a lingering fear and looked at Xiao Xunbao, saying:
“Help me get a hat out.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao responded and took off her ring.
Pilit turned his head and looked over: “Do you have an extra hat? Get one for me too.”
A minute later, both of them were wearing baseball caps.
With Fa Miao E present, and Steel Treasure looking very formidable, the two of them didn’t encounter any wild Pets that actively attacked them along the way.
Their journey was quite smooth.
…
An hour later.
Yu Beast Center.
The Staff at the counter apologized: “I’m sorry, all our rooms here are full.”
Before Pilit could say anything, a passerby next to them looked surprised:
“You want to stay at the Yu Beast Center, and you didn’t even book in advance?”
Pilit asked: “Are there many people staying here?”
“You haven’t been here before, have you?” the passerby asked back.
Pilit hummed in affirmation.
“No wonder.” The passerby’s eyes were filled with sympathy and pity: “In terms of accommodation, in the 30th District, the Yu Beast Center is the safest place. You basically have to book a month in advance, and there are only a few hotels with good safety measures. If you want to stay there, you have to book in advance, otherwise, there won’t be any rooms for you at all.”
“If you haven’t booked anything, then congratulations, you probably won’t be able to sleep peacefully here.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition.
Pilit’s expression, however, didn’t change much: “Thank you, I understand.”
“So what do we do now?” Qiao Sang asked after they walked to the side.
“We can’t waste time looking for accommodation.” Pilit seemed to have already thought it through and said: “We’ll just sleep on the floor here.”
Qiao Sang: “???”
