Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 799: Eight eyes facing each other

Xiao Xunbao saw everything before his eyes change.

After the flute music finished playing.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Looking at the scene that had returned to its original state, Xiao Xunbao showed a dazed expression.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Immediately, it seemed to think of something, and looked at Aodinihi, calling out in confusion, as if asking what it had just seen.

“Didi.”

Aodinihi put down the red flute, took a potato chip and ate it, and then called out, indicating that was the place for its next evolution.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao was greatly shocked, and looked at Aodinihi with an expression of admiration.

Aodinihi was quite pleased with Xiao Xunbao’s expression, and its food tasted even better.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Seeing this, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, then it quickly subdued it, and sweetly called out, asking if Aodinihi could also play the flute in front of its Yu Beast Master later, so that its little companions could also see the place of their next evolution.

“Didi…”

Aodinihi paused its potato chip eating, shook its head, and indicated no.

It didn’t like humans, nor did it like appearing in front of humans.

Without a word, Xiao Xunbao pulled out a pile of food from its ring and placed it in front of Aodinihi.

Aodinihi looked at the food in front of it and was silent for a moment.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao immediately pulled out another pile.

“Didi…”

Aodinihi’s expression turned to one of struggle.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao threw the food in its paw onto the ground, and once again pulled out a pile from its ring.

“Didi!”

Aodinihi’s expression became serious.

It needed to consider it; in fact, this matter wasn’t entirely non-negotiable.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao immediately called out happily.

Its Yu Beast Master’s purpose for coming here seemed to be to find this guy and have him play the flute.

But it looked like Big Brother Ya Bao and the others couldn’t defeat it.

If it could persuade this guy to play the flute on his own initiative, then its Yu Beast Master would definitely praise it greatly, and Big Brother Ya Bao might even willingly give up his position as big brother…

A scene appeared in Xiao Xunbao’s mind.

“Yaya…”

Big Brother Ya Bao looked at it, patted its shoulder, and called out.

“I didn’t expect you to be so formidable; it seems the position of big brother will have to be yours from now on.”

“Ice Ai.”

“Steel Slash.”

Lu Bao and Steel Treasure nodded from the side.

Its Yu Beast Master, with a face full of relief and approval, said, “Since Ya Bao said so, then you will be the big brother from now on.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

As soon as it thought of this, Xiao Xunbao couldn’t help but grin foolishly.

In the dense forest.

Fa Miao E allowed the powerful aura on its body to spread.

The surrounding wild Pets retreated one after another.

Along the way, Qiao Sang didn’t see many wild Pets at all.

“When we encounter Aodinihi, if the situation isn’t right, you get on Fa Miao E’s back, and it will take you away,” Pilit said, while vigilantly observing the surroundings.

“What about you?” Qiao Sang asked.

“You don’t need to worry about me,” Pilit said in a calm tone, “If Aodinihi is truly at the Emperor level, I have a way to engage with it for a while, but with you nearby, I won’t be able to act freely.”

I get it, I’m a burden… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

She could understand; after all, if a fight really broke out due to a disagreement, with her current strength, she would probably be cannon fodder in a battle of this level.

Pilit saw that Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, thinking she was worried about coming for nothing, so he spoke his plan:

“If I successfully get Aodinihi to play the flute, I will have Newdi Kaka come and pick you up.”

Newdi Kaka? It’s still fighting Solid Armor Emperor, right… Qiao Sang was about to say something.

“Fafa.”

Fa Miao E, who was beside them, suddenly stopped and let out a cry.

“Be careful, there’s movement,” Pilit said, stopping his steps, his tone serious.

Qiao Sang immediately looked left and right vigilantly.

Although there were few wild Pets encountered along the way, there were occasional movements, and Fa Miao E had never stopped. For it to stop, it must be a powerful existence.

“Yaya…”

Ya Bao also seemed to have realized something, gripping the ground slightly with its claws, adopting a stance ready for battle at any moment.

At this moment, the scenery ahead twisted like ripples in water, forming a wave-like pattern.

Immediately after, an old man with white hair and a handsome Black-haired Youth walked out of thin air.

Upon seeing Fa Miao E, the old man’s face could not hide his disappointment.

Holy cow, this is definitely a big shot, and where is the Pet that performed this space-type skill… Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously glanced to the side.

After realizing she saw nothing, her vigilance grew even stronger.

It was certain that the Pet using the space-type skill was currently invisible…

Aodinihi was here, and powerful Yu Beast Masters inexplicably appeared; she reasonably suspected that the two people in front of her were here for Aodinihi…

As her thoughts flickered, the Black-haired Youth looked at her and said in astonishment:

“Qiao Sang?”

Huh? Who are you? Do I know you…? Qiao Sang looked bewildered.

Perhaps Qiao Sang’s expression was too obvious, the Black-haired Youth said with a smile in his tone: “I’ve watched the Beastmaster Star Tournament; you performed very well.”

Hey, hey, hey, what’s with this elder praising a child’s tone… Qiao Sang complained inwardly.

Before she could speak, the old man beside him also looked over.

He subtly glanced at Ya Bao and Steel Treasure, his eyes flickering, and asked, “Is this Miss Qiao, the one who won the championship?”

Ahem, how embarrassing… Qiao Sang slightly puffed out her chest: “It’s me.”

After confirming, the old man turned to Pilit: “And this is?”

“He is my teacher,” Qiao Sang introduced.

“So it’s a teacher from Yu Liandun University; no wonder he has cultivated Earth’s Pets to the Emperor level,” the old man praised, his attitude changing from the coldness he had shown when first appearing.

Pilit smiled slightly, not denying it, and instead asked, “Did you sense our aura and come over?”

“That’s right,” the old man admitted, “We came here to search for a Pet. We sensed Fa Miao E’s aura and thought it was the one we were looking for, so we came directly here.”

“What Pet are you looking for?” Pilit continued to ask.

The old man pondered for a moment: “It’s Aodinihi.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Qiao Sang immediately looked over in surprise.

To be honest, she had anticipated that the other party was here for Aodinihi, but she didn’t expect them to state it so directly…

Pilit appropriately showed a surprised expression: “Illusion Beast Aodinihi? Is it here?”

I never thought, Teacher, that you also have a talent for acting… Qiao Sang complained inwardly, while maintaining her surprised expression on the surface.

“Yaya…”

Ya Bao looked at its Yu Beast Master’s teacher, then at its Yu Beast Master, revealing a bewildered expression.

Didn’t they come in to find Aodinihi and the kidnapped Xiao Xunbao? Why did they act as if they had never heard of Aodinihi?

The old man smiled slightly: “I’m not entirely sure, but I received news that Aodinihi is nearby.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Qiao Sang, and said in a gentle tone:

“If you are interested in Aodinihi, we can search together.”

“No need,” Pilit refused, “How easy is it to find an Illusion Beast? We have other things to do here.”

The old man continued to smile: “May I ask what you need to do? We can help.”

Pilit said without changing his expression: “I brought Qiao Sang here for outdoor training.”

The implication was that no help was needed.

The old man understood, showing a regretful expression, then he thought of something and smiled again:

“We will also be returning to the First District in a few days; we can exchange contact information and leave together then.”

According to normal social etiquette, he should have looked at a peer or someone in charge to ask, but he looked at Qiao Sang, as if waiting for her answer.

“Outdoor training might not end in a short time,” Pilit again tactfully refused.

“Let’s exchange contact information; perhaps we’ll also be staying here for a while,” the old man said, taking out his phone and walking towards Qiao Sang.

Pilit, however, walked up at this moment, intercepting him, pulled out his phone, and said, “My number is…”

The corner of the old man’s mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly managed his facial expression.

After the two exchanged contact information, Pilit said, “Then we’ll be going now.”

With that, he stepped away.

Qiao Sang quickly followed.

After the two figures completely disappeared, Aogefu frowned: “This teacher really has no common sense at all.”

The old man said in a faint tone:

“He’s doing it on purpose.”

Facing a prodigy like Qiao Sang, it’s understandable for a school teacher to be so protective.

“I didn’t expect to encounter Qiao Sang here; it seems that even if we don’t find Aodinihi, this trip was worth it,” Aogefu sighed with emotion.

In fact, the champion of the Beastmaster Star Tournament wasn’t worth their attention at all; he hadn’t even watched the competition. But this year’s champion had a Pet that could use the Ultra-level skill Healing Light, and that immediately spread throughout their circle.

The old man heard this and did not deny it.

At his age, longevity was extremely important.

He no longer thought about brain development; apart from Pet evolution, Healing Light adjusted the entire body’s state to its best, removing hidden illnesses, which could also increase longevity.

“We’ll find a way to meet them again in a few days; we have more important things to do now,” the old man said.

“Understood,” Aogefu nodded.

“Sense it again,” the old man looked at the air beside him.

“Kongkong.”

A Pet’s voice came out of thin air from the side.

One minute later, the scenery before them twisted like ripples in water.

The old man stepped into it.

Aogefu followed closely behind.

The scenery quickly returned to its original state.

“We must find Aodinihi before them,” Pilit said with a serious expression.

“Turn left ahead,” Qiao Sang said, while sensing Xiao Xunbao’s location.

The two ventured deep into the dense forest, passing through groves and over streams, moving quickly.

With Fa Miao E by their side, the journey was very smooth.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Qiao Sang stopped at a cave entrance that was relatively damp and covered in moss: “I feel like it’s inside.”

Aodinihi is inside… Pilit’s heart quickened.

Just as the two were about to step inside, the familiar cave entrance ahead twisted.

Immediately after, two familiar figures appeared before them.

The four people’s eight eyes met.

The air suddenly fell silent.
