Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 803: You two have a great time (two in one)

Deep within the dense forest, after a series of violent explosions, all sounds finally returned to silence.

Everywhere the eye could see was a pitted landscape; the craters were unusually large, each one deep enough to be considered a chasm for an ordinary person.

In the largest of these deep pits, Solid Armor Emperor lay with his eyes tightly closed.

At the edge of the deep pit, Lu Xiu Ma Er, seeing the motionless Solid Armor Emperor below, seemed unwilling to waste a moment. He turned to Kong Qikesi and said, “Sense.”

“Kongkong.”

Kong Qikesi closed its eyes, and an invisible ripple instantly spread outwards from it.

Pilit, seeing this, seized the opportunity to say, “You go find Aodinihi, I’ll go meet up with Qiao Sang first.”

Daring to bring such a monstrous student alone to the dangerous 30th District during the school term naturally meant being responsible for the student’s safety.

Lu Xiu Ma Er was not surprised by his choice and nodded, saying,

“Alright.”

Good, everything is going according to plan… Pilit felt a slight relief in his heart.

Suddenly, he felt his phone vibrate several times in his pocket.

Areas where wild Pets gather usually make it difficult to build signal towers, but Imperial Beast Academy has specially developed independent signal equipment, so as long as you carry it with you, you’ll have a signal wherever you go.

Pilit instinctively pulled out his phone to check.

When he saw the message, his heart suddenly sank, but he kept a calm expression and turned to Newdi Kaka: “Let’s go.”

Just then, a voice rang out from high above:

“Teacher! Stop him!”

Newdi Kaka’s eyes glowed blue.

“Stop him.” Lu Xiu Ma Er’s heart stirred, and he quickly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Newdi Kaka and Pilit vanished from their original spot.

“Kongkong.”

At the same time, Kong Qikesi opened its eyes, which glowed blue.

The surrounding scenery instantly appeared in the air like distorted ripples.

Soon, Pilit and Newdi Kaka reappeared from a ripple, returning to their original spot.

If one looked closely, they would notice that the ripple appeared exactly where they had originally vanished.

Everything returned to calm.

Space Correction, a Super-level skill of the Superpower System, can quickly correct and restore changes occurring in space. If a Pet performs Instant Movement, Space Movement, or other skills requiring coordinate positioning within this space, it will return to its original position… Pilit looked at Kong Qikesi, his expression grave, sensing the difficulty of the situation.

A giant yellow bird Pet flew to the ground.

Aogefu dismounted and went straight to the point:

“Aodinihi is with Qiao Sang.”

Lu Xiu Ma Er’s face was grim as he said, “Then why aren’t you following her, running to find me instead?”

“Her Ghost Ring King has Space Movement,” Aogefu explained, “and my Guangchi Mu was defeated by Fa Miao E. Without Guangchi Mu, I couldn’t keep up with her.”

Idiot, to let a C-level Beastmaster escape from your grasp… Lu Xiu Ma Er glared at Aogefu, then turned to Pilit, and said coldly:

“It seems we’ll have to go find Qiao Sang together.”

By now, how could he not understand that Aodinihi’s sudden disappearance was this guy’s doing!

“Aodinihi is with Qiao Sang?” Pilit feigned ignorance and looked at Aogefu.

Keep pretending, you… Aogefu ignored him and continued to Lu Xiu Ma Er:

“Aodinihi entered the Ghost Ring King’s ring. I’ve learned about this ring; it can’t be opened without the Ghost Ring King. I think Qiao Sang is very likely to go directly back to the First District, because that’s the safest place for her.”

Since there was no need to worry about Aodinihi leaving, and he had exposed the fact that Aodinihi was with her, if he were Qiao Sang, his first thought would definitely be to leave the 30th District immediately and return to his own territory.

Although she was from Blue Star, she was now studying at Royal Union Dun and had saved many terminally ill people in their circle. The First District was the safest place for her.

“Notify everyone, immediately book all flights going to the First District,” Lu Xiu Ma Er immediately ordered.

After speaking, he frowned: “No, have someone book all means of transportation going to other districts!”

“Understood.” Aogefu pulled out his phone.

At this moment, Pilit sighed softly:

“You really act as if I don’t exist at all, Kaka.”

“Niuniu.”

Newdi Kaka chirped, its eyes glowing blue as it looked at the phone in Aogefu’s hand.

The next second, his phone was easily crumpled into a ball like paper, turning into scrap metal.

Airport.

“Hello, I’d like a ticket for the soonest flight to the First District,” Qiao Sang said.

The Staff checked the computer, then looked up and apologized: “I’m sorry, all tickets to the First District are already sold out.”

Qiao Sang said without thinking, “Then any flight for today, no matter which one.”

The Staff still apologized, “I’m sorry, all tickets to the First District for today are gone.”

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “Then give me a ticket to the Upper Tenth District, any district.”

“Okay, please wait a moment,” the Staff said, then lowered her head to operate the computer.

Half a minute later, she looked up at Qiao Sang with a somewhat complex expression:

“All tickets to the Upper Tenth District are gone.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“What about the Middle Ten Districts?” Qiao Sang asked, unwilling to give up.

After a pause, she added, “Or other places in the Lower Tenth District.”

The Staff lowered her head to check, and the answer was still the same:

“None.”

“How can there be none at all?” Qiao Sang found it a bit unbelievable.

The Staff seemed to be encountering this situation for the first time as well, and she spoke more than usual: “Today’s situation is indeed a bit special. Just now, when I was processing a ticket to the 18th District for another passenger, there were clearly many empty seats…”

As she spoke, she realized her mistake, her voice softened, and she showed a professional smile:

“Perhaps the system has a delay. Would you like me to check tickets for tomorrow?”

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then said, “Alright, I want a ticket for the earliest flight to the First District tomorrow.”

This time, the ticket was processed quickly.

It’s 3:30 AM, I might as well just stay at the airport until then… Qiao Sang took the ticket, looked at the time on it, and walked towards the boarding gate.

Dense forest.

Aogefu threw away his phone, which had become scrap metal, looked at Pilit, and laughed:

“No more pretending?”

Pilit also smiled: “What, you’re going to cause trouble for my student, and I can’t stop you?”

“How is it causing trouble?” Aogefu waved his hand: “We just want to find Aodinihi. As long as you hand over Aodinihi, we can still cooperate.”

“Why waste so much breath on him?” Lu Xiu Ma Er said impatiently, “Hurry up and contact the outside.”

“Teacher, don’t be angry.” Aogefu explained the situation to Lu Xiu Ma Er: “Actually, I had already contacted them before I came. She absolutely cannot leave the First District today, and I’ve sent people to every transportation hub. As long as Qiao Sang appears at the airport or any other transportation location, someone will report to me. Even if they can’t contact me, they will intercept her first.”

Hearing this, Lu Xiu Ma Er’s expression softened.

Pilit’s face, however, completely darkened.

Airport.

Qiao Sang bought a cup of coffee and four Pet drinks, then found a seat and sat down.

Royal Union Dun’s airport does not restrict Yu Beast Masters from summoning their Pets.

Yabao and the others held their Pet drinks and drank them with relish.

Qiao Sang pulled out her phone and found that Teacher Pilit had not yet contacted her, which made her a little worried.

Just as she was about to make a call, a rather magnetic voice came from in front of her:

“Hello.”

Qiao Sang looked up and saw a young man with brown hair, wearing a black windbreaker jacket.

At this moment, the young man’s face was filled with pleasant surprise:

“Excuse me, are you Miss Qiao Sang who participated in the Beastmaster Star Tournament a while ago?”

I didn’t expect anyone in the 30th District to know me… Qiao Sang subtly straightened her back: “That’s me.”

“That’s great! I didn’t expect to see you here.” The young man, acting familiar, sat down next to her: “I’ve watched every one of your matches.”

Looks like a fan… Qiao Sang smiled: “Do you want an autograph?”

The young man was silent for a moment, then his expression brightened again: “That would be wonderful!”

After speaking, he quickly patted all the pockets on his body, then put his hands down, disheartened:

“But I didn’t bring a pen or paper.”

Then he thought of something, and with eyes full of anticipation, he looked at Xiao Xunbao, who was drinking a beverage nearby, and said, “I heard that the Ghost Ring King’s ring is a space that can hold anything. I wonder if there’s a pen and paper in there that I could borrow.”

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao, hearing this, immediately put down its drink, took off its ring, and prepared to look.

At this moment, Qiao Sang said:

“I didn’t bring a pen or paper either.”

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao silently put its ring back on.

Steel Treasure heard its Yu Beast Master’s words, turned its head, and observed the young man.

“That’s truly a shame,” the young man said disappointedly.

“Where are you going?” Qiao Sang took a sip of her coffee and asked casually.

“First District.” The young man looked over: “You?”

“First District as well.”

“What a coincidence, what time is your ticket?” The young man’s eyes lit up.

Qiao Sang did not answer, but instead asked:

“Where’s your luggage?”

The young man paused, then said, “I’m here for a mission. The person who issued the mission provides food and lodging, so I didn’t bring anything.”

Qiao Sang glanced at him: “Not even clothes?”

The young man scratched his head and said, rather sheepishly:

“I can go a week without showering.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

You’re impressive.

Actually, she had been a little suspicious of this person’s intentions for approaching her. After all, she had also had a large number of fans on Blue Star and understood the reaction of fans when they met their favorite Yu Beast Master and were told they could take photos and get autographs—they would definitely show excitement immediately, unlike this person, who was silent at first.

But now, she wondered if she was being a little too sensitive.

At this moment, another blond young man wearing a baseball cap walked over, subtly glanced at Qiao Sang, then shook his head at the brown-haired young man:

“Couldn’t get in touch.”

The young man turned to Qiao Sang and apologized:

“I’m going to make a call first.”

Just make the call, no need to tell me… Qiao Sang complained internally, but outwardly smiled and nodded.

The young man stood up and walked with the blond young man towards the men’s restroom.

Seeing the two leave, Qiao Sang picked up her phone and dialed Teacher Pilit’s number.

“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later…” A gentle female voice came from the speaker.

No connection… Qiao Sang put down her phone with a grave expression.

Logically speaking, so much time had passed, Teacher Pilit should have left that dense forest by now, so why couldn’t she reach him?

Nothing bad happened, did it…

“Steel Slash.”

As thoughts flickered, Steel Treasure beside her chirped, indicating that the human just now seemed off.

If Steel Treasure says something is off, then it must be off… Qiao Sang immediately pricked up her ears, ready to listen for any movement inside.

But she heard nothing, not a sound, not even the sound of someone using the toilet.

Qiao Sang instantly became alert.

Something was indeed off.

Logically speaking, with her current hearing, she should be able to hear the sounds inside the restroom, even the sound of someone taking off their pants, but she heard nothing.

This was the biggest sign that something was wrong.

“Yabao, listen to the sounds in there.” Qiao Sang gestured towards the restroom to Yabao.

“Yaya.”

Yabao wiggled its ears while drinking its beverage.

“Yaya…”

Three seconds later, it shook its head, indicating it heard nothing.

Even Yabao didn’t hear anything… Qiao Sang’s heart sank.

She immediately thought of something and looked at Xiao Xunbao: “Xiao Xunbao, go invisible and…”

Qiao Sang suddenly felt a chill in her heart and didn’t finish her sentence.

Aodinihi is inside Xiao Xunbao’s ring, and now Xiao Xunbao’s ring is a key protected item. It cannot be allowed to leave her sight casually…

“Xunxun?”

Xiao Xunbao looked puzzled when its Yu Beast Master didn’t finish her sentence.

Qiao Sang changed the subject: “It’s nothing, just keep drinking.”

Inside the men’s restroom.

Above the innermost stall, a small Pet resembling a box stood there, covering its nose, its eyes glowing blue, an expression of utter resignation on its face.

An invisible Barrier enveloped this stall, isolating the sounds within.

“How can we not get in touch?” the young man frowned.

“Something might have happened,” the blond young man guessed.

After a pause, he asked, “So what do we do now?”

The young man pondered for a moment and asked:

“What time is Qiao Sang’s flight? Have you found out?”

The blond young man nodded: “3:30 AM.”

The young man looked at the time on his wrist, and said:

“There are still a few hours. The airport is too crowded to act directly. It’s best to wait until we contact Aogefu and have him come over.”

“What if Qiao Sang gets on the plane and we still can’t reach him?” the blond young man asked.

“Then we’ll just have to do it ourselves,” the young man said in a deep voice.

“Qiao Sang’s Ice Aipalu has the Ultra-level skill Ice Heaven Domain and Healing Light, and Flame Qilu has Lava Purgatory and the Profound Level Mars Rain. We’re probably no match for them,” the blond young man stated bluntly.

The young man was silent for a moment.

It had to be said, this was indeed a problem.

After a few seconds, he spoke: “The key is the Ghost Ring King’s ring. As long as we get our hands on that Ghost Ring King or its ring, that’s all that matters.”

“If, before she boards, the Ghost Ring King and its ring aren’t in our hands, and Aogefu can’t be reached…”

The young man’s gaze suddenly sharpened: “Then we’ll just have to destroy that plane.”

Half a minute later, the two opened the door and exited the stall.

They happened to encounter a Middle-aged Man wearing black-rimmed glasses.

He looked at the two young men emerging from the same stall, then looked up at the Pet covering its nose above the stall, recognized the skill its Pet was using, and immediately showed an expression of “you two play quite wildly.”

Young man: “…”

Blond young man: “…”
