Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 806: It must be that guy who plays the flute (II
【Chen Shu, 34 years old, C-level Beastmaster, Pets: Shadow Sprite, Two-Headed Ape Dragon, Nilu Crocodile, Dasheng Mushroom…】
【Fuan Li DiCaprio, 36 years old, C-level Beastmaster, Pets: Ugly Kalong, Fierce Patrol Eagle, Fighting Horned Rabbit, Restful Grass…】
【Pulaer Pallet, 31 years old, C-level Beastmaster, Pets: Chaotic Magnetic Mother, Storm Owl, Snow Jileilei, Sand Tomb Turtle…】
【Freya Tin Tate, 30 years old, C-level Beastmaster, Pets: Water-Bearing Duck, Electric Wave Toad, Malao Li, Wood Lotus Soldier…】
【Lieao Diesel, 27 years old, C-level Beastmaster, Pets: Harmonious Chirp, Fire Dance Butterfly, Evil Spirit, Little Crossing Dragon…】
All of them were C-level Beastmasters… Qiao Sang looked at the five profiles sent by Teacher Heidi, her gaze shifting to the photos of Pulaer Pallet and Lieao Diesel, recognizing them as the two people she had just encountered in the waiting hall.
As expected, they were here for Aodinihi… Qiao Sang was not surprised by this.
She took a deep breath, braced herself, and began searching for detailed information about these Pets.
Although she generally knew the levels and attributes of these Pets after this period of study, she wasn’t particularly familiar with their specific characteristics, weaknesses, and habits.
Two of these five individuals had already shown themselves. Since they knew she was here, they would definitely choose to act before she boarded the plane.
Facing opponents who could attack at any time, it was naturally better to understand them beforehand to respond more effectively.
This was also a habit Qiao Sang had developed from her competitions.
Although the airport had arranged a private VIP room for her and assigned Pets to guard outside, she couldn’t put all her hopes on others. To be safe, she still had to be prepared… Qiao Sang thought as she reviewed the information.
She started checking from Shadow Sprite downwards, one by one.
Soon, she saw Harmonious Chirp.
【Harmonious Chirp, Superpower System General-level Pet. Its calls are as beautiful as songs, but its calls can cause pain or hallucinations in opponents. Because its body is smaller than ordinary low-level Pets, making it unnoticeable, Yu Beast Masters usually like to teach it Barrier-type skills to facilitate movement in the dark while isolating sound.】
Lieao’s Pet, that was the guy who came to talk just now. No wonder she couldn’t hear any movement from the restroom earlier. It was probably this Harmonious Chirp that used a sound-isolating move, just like the skill used by the Pet of the spy teacher who met her back then…
As she was thinking, Qiao Sang’s ears twitched, hearing the footsteps of the Pet that had been standing outside the door moving from near to far, leaving.
At this moment, all the lights in the room suddenly went out.
The entire room was plunged into darkness.
“Ya!”
Yabao, who had been feeling a bit sleepy, instantly perked up, looking around vigilantly.
Qiao Sang’s heart tightened. She quickly formed hand Seals, preparing to summon Xiao Xunbao to use Space Movement to take her out of this room first.
The Pet sent by the airport to guard was more useless than she thought. She had expected at least some commotion from a fight outside, but it actually just left.
She didn’t know how it was lured away…
The opponent seemed to know she was in this room. Going out directly through the door was very likely to lead to an ambush. The safest method now was to use Space Movement to leave.
Otherwise, with the enemy in the dark and her in the light, she would be very passive.
“Hehe~”
Just as Qiao Sang was forming hand Seals, an exceptionally pleasant call rang out.
Invisible sound waves transmitted.
She instantly felt pain all over her body.
Harmonious Chirp… Qiao Sang immediately understood which Pet was causing trouble. She endured the pain, her hand Seals not stopping.
The defensive training from the previous period wasn’t in vain.
Although the pain was intense, it was bearable.
Soon, an orange-yellow star array lit up, and Xiao Xunbao appeared within the star array.
At the same time, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the wall, then rapidly split, sweeping madly towards Qiao Sang.
“Go!”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.
The next second, Qiao Sang and Yabao disappeared from their original spot.
The black shadow struck nothing. It seemed to have eyes, looking left and right. Seeing that there was definitely no one left, it merged together like water, flowed out through the crack in the door, then swayed in a certain direction, as if shaking its head.
Then, it continued to flow forward.
In the corridor, the black shadow brushed past the returning Chaxie Beast.
【Anomaly, anomaly, energy anomaly detected.】
“Chacha.”
The Chaxie Beast looked down at the black shadow still flowing forward.
【Shadow Sprite, VIP’s Pet, safe.】
The black shadow’s marker turned from red to green.
The Chaxie Beast turned, walked to the entrance of the VIP exclusive lounge, and stood still.
The black shadow flowed rapidly, arriving in the adjacent room, standing upright from the ground, and expanding into a completely black Pet with only two pairs of purple eyes visible.
At this moment, two men were sitting in the spacious and luxurious lounge.
Besides the blonde youth, there was also a gray-eyed, black-haired man who looked exceptionally gloomy.
Next to the blonde youth stood a yellow, spherical Pet with musical notes on its head.
“Where are they?” Chen Shu asked.
“Yingying.”
The Shadow Sprite called out, indicating that the person had escaped.
“Not in the room anymore?” Pulaer frowned, confirming.
“Yingying.” The Shadow Sprite nodded.
“I saw the Shadow Sprite come out, and the Chaxie Beast also went back.” Lieao pushed the door open and entered, saying, “I didn’t see Qiao Sang come out of the door, what happened?”
He said this while walking to the sofa and sitting down.
Pulaer quickly had an answer: “She must have summoned Ghost Ring King in the room and left using Space Movement.”
He had watched Qiao Sang’s competitions and related trending topics, knowing that Ghost Ring King knew many high-level Superpower System skills.
“How could this be?” Lieao looked puzzled: “Even if Qiao Sang re-summoned Ghost Ring King in the room, Harmonious Chirp’s call should have at least made Ghost Ring King too much in pain to use skills for two seconds.”
“Those two seconds should have been enough for the Shadow Sprite to catch Qiao Sang.”
The Shadow Sprite’s restraint could prevent a Pet from returning to the yu beast codex even when summoned by its Yu Beast Master, and it could also prevent the target from teleporting.
Chen Shu’s Shadow Sprite’s restraint characteristic even reached A-level.
Under A-level restraint, even Space Movement would be ineffective.
“It’s pointless to review the situation now.” Chen Shu calmly said: “The urgent task is to find Qiao Sang’s location again.”
“This VIP room was useless then.” Lieao couldn’t help but complain, then thought of something and looked at Chen Shu, saying, “Isn’t your family a shareholder of this airport? You just made that Chaxie Beast leave for a moment. Can you ask the internal staff to check the surveillance again?”
Chen Shu glanced at him, his look like he was looking at an idiot:
“Making a working Chaxie Beast temporarily leave is a small matter, but to deal with a VIP coming here, do you think my family would agree just because I say so?”
“Remember, I will help deal with Qiao Sang, but I will only do it myself and will never let my family know.”
Lieao “tsk”ed: “Then what else can we do?”
Pulaer spoke:
“Qiao Sang is a VIP, so she will definitely use the secure passage. We just need to ambush her there in advance…”
Before he finished speaking, a crisp voice suddenly rang out in the room:
“Ambush me?”
The three men were startled and looked at the source of the sound.
They saw a black-haired girl with a ponytail and a slightly baby-fat face, along with Ghost Ring King and the others, appearing where no one had been.
Qiao Sang?!
How did she get here?
Did she hear everything they just said?!
Did she know they were going to deal with her?!
“Shadow Sprite!”
“Harmonious Chirp!”
“Chaotic Magnetic Mother!”
The three men’s pupils constricted, their hearts racing. They quickly stood up and distanced themselves, shouting almost simultaneously.
Even though two of them hadn’t watched Qiao Sang’s competitions and didn’t know her specific strength, they had already gathered some necessary information beforehand because they knew they were going to deal with her.
Ultra-level skill.
16 years old.
Four Pets.
Three General-level Pets.
Made Little Steel Falcon continuously bond evolve.
Yu Liandun University.
These buffs stacked together didn’t form the image of a normal person at all.
They didn’t dare to be careless. While shouting for their Pets to attack, they also formed hand Seals.
For a moment, nine orange-yellow star arrays spread throughout the room.
“Yingying!”
“Hehe!”
“Wuwu!”
Just as the nine star arrays lit up, the Shadow Sprite rapidly split into several black shadows like silk ribbons, sweeping towards Qiao Sang.
Harmonious Chirp’s eyes glowed blue.
An invisible force immediately enveloped Qiao Sang, controlling her in place.
At the same time, with its call, invisible sound waves rippled out.
The yellow spherical Pet with musical notes on its head opened its mouth, and a dazzling bolt of lightning immediately bloomed from deep within its throat.
Qiao Sang looked at everything before her and calmly said:
“Domain.”
“Ice Ai.”
Lubao stepped forward.
In an instant, the temperature in the room plummeted, and the biting cold seemed to penetrate the soul.
Everything was frozen in the blink of an eye.
The spacious and luxurious lounge became a world of ice.
Space seemed to stand still at this moment.
The nine star arrays frozen in ice.
The nine Pets of various forms that had just appeared on the star arrays, now ice sculptures.
The three men still holding their hand Seals.
And the several black shadows less than a centimeter from Qiao Sang, the Harmonious Chirp staring at this side, and the Chaotic Magnetic Mother with its mouth open.
All of them were frozen and sealed in thick ice shells.
Only Qiao Sang’s area remained a vibrant, bright color.
Using Lubao’s Ice Heaven Domain to deal with three people at once wasn’t a loss… Qiao Sang removed the earplugs she had prepared before coming.
Indeed, understanding the enemy’s Pets beforehand was the correct choice.
The Ghost-type Pet that had attacked by coming through the wall earlier, and among the five people, only Chen Shu’s Shadow Sprite and Lieao Diesel’s Evil Spirit were Ghost-type Pets.
For a Ghost-type Pet to pass through walls and attack with a clear target, it must be nearby. The highest possibility was the adjacent room.
It couldn’t be that in the instant the lights went out, the Ghost-type Pet continuously passed through several walls to attack.
Since the range was narrowed, it was much easier to determine if they were in the next room; Lubao just needed to turn into water, slip in, and take a look.
When Lubao came out and said there were three of the people from the photos inside, she knew it was an opportunity.
The other party didn’t yet know that she had their specific information and appearances, and they were still in the perspective of hunters, so they hadn’t considered that they themselves would be actively targeted by the prey.
Yabao and Lubao both had large-scale attack skills.
However, Yabao’s skills caused too much commotion, so using Lubao’s Ice Heaven Domain against them was perfectly suitable.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they were gathered in one place.
Coincidentally, they provided such an opportunity.
Now, there were only two people left… Qiao Sang came to Pulaer Pallet’s side and pointed to his pocket for Lubao.
She remembered that Pulaer had told Lieao in front of her that he hadn’t made contact, so the task of contacting the others must have been on this guy…
“Ice Ai.”
Lubao took off the earplugs from its ears and called out.
The next second, the ice shell on Pulaer’s pocket melted.
Qiao Sang took out a phone from his pocket, tried to open it, but found it required a password.
Just as she was about to have Lubao melt the ice shell on this guy’s finger, the phone vibrated continuously.
Caller ID: Freya Tin.
Qiao Sang calmly answered the call.
“Hello, I’m here. Where are you now?” A low female voice came from the speaker.
Another one arrived, good, I don’t have to wait specifically… Without waiting for the other party to speak again, Qiao Sang hung up the phone.
She glanced at the three people frozen in front of her and said to Xiao Xunbao: “First, throw these three guys outside the airport.”
She hadn’t specifically tested how long Lubao’s Ice Heaven Domain could freeze, and it would be bad if the freezing was released before she boarded the plane.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao heard its Yu Beast Master’s words, and its eyes glowed blue.
Immediately after, it, along with the frozen trio, disappeared from their original spot.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
After about ten seconds, Xiao Xunbao reappeared in the room, calling sweetly, indicating that the mission was complete.
“Take me back to the room next door.” Qiao Sang said.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue again.
Qiao Sang’s vision went dark.
When her vision returned, she found herself back in the original VIP exclusive lounge.
Qiao Sang sat on the sofa, remembering Lubao who had used Ice Heaven Domain, and looked at Xiao Xunbao:
“Get a bottle of energy recovery potion.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating understanding.
It took off its ring, rummaged inside, and quickly pulled out an energy recovery potion.
Qiao Sang looked at the energy recovery potion and hesitated:
“This seems to be empty.”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao looked down and found that it really was.
It casually tossed the empty bottle of energy recovery potion behind it, then rummaged in the ring again.
Then it pulled out another empty bottle.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao rummaged again.
Empty bottle.
Rummaged again.
Empty bottle.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes turned red from rummaging, but they were still all empty bottles.
“Yaya!”
Yabao, who had been feeling a bit sleepy, instantly sobered up, showing an expression of “how could this be”.
“Ice Ai.”
Lubao’s expression became serious.
“Steel Slash.”
Even Steel Treasure’s expression became serious.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao looked at its Yu Beast Master, on the verge of tears.
It must have been that flute-playing guy who drank them all!
