Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 807: I want to complain (two in one)

Aodinihi… Qiao Sang immediately thought of something, her face suddenly changed, and she said urgently, “Quickly check what happened to everything else in the ring!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao heard her Yu Beast Master say that, her body stiffened, and then the ring became larger, and she hurriedly burrowed her entire head into it.

The movement inside the ring could not be heard from outside, but Xiao Xunbao’s half-body was exposed, twisting violently, obviously very exasperated.

At this moment, Qiao Sang had a bad premonition.

After about a minute, Xiao Xunbao’s head emerged from the ring, looking at her Yu Beast Master with a snotty and tearful face. Qiao Sang’s heart sank, and she asked, “What happened?”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao finally couldn’t hold back and burst into tears.

Most of the food was gone!

“Ya?!”

Upon hearing this, Ya Bao’s fur immediately bristled, wishing she could go in and fight the guy who ate everything.

“Ice Ai…”

Lu Bao’s eyes deepened, and two bubbles emerged directly from her nostrils.

“Steel Slash…”

Steel Treasure’s face completely darkened.

Qiao Sang was mentally prepared, so she remained relatively calm and asked, “What about other things besides the food?”

“Xun, Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao wiped her tears with a tissue controlled by her telekinesis on the coffee table, shaking her head to indicate that other things were not affected.

The situation was better than she had imagined. It seemed Aodinihi only touched the food. Her unlimited card had not expired yet, so she could return to the First District and quickly stock up on various energy foods again. It was just a pity about the Energy Pills specially made for Ya Bao and the others by the Vice Principal… But the problem wasn’t big. As long as Aodinihi was willing to play the flute at that time, the sacrifice of food would be worth it… While comforting herself, Qiao Sang didn’t forget to appease Ya Bao and the others:

“I heard that Aodinihi only wakes up once every hundred years. It hasn’t eaten for a hundred years, so it’s understandable that it’s so hungry when it wakes up. When we go back, we’ll buy all this food again.”

“Xun, Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao continued to wipe her tears.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao pouted, still a bit upset, but since her Yu Beast Master had said so, there was nothing she could do.

“Ice Ai…”

Lu Bao froze for a moment, then the two bubbles in her nostrils, which were still fluctuating in size, popped with a “bang,” and she calmed down.

She had slept for a hundred years without eating, and then was chased like this after waking up, how pitiful…

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure’s face was still dark as he called out, indicating that even so, he couldn’t eat all of someone else’s emergency rations.

Qiao Sang looked at Steel Treasure and conveyed with her thoughts:

【We can’t defeat it.】

“Steel Slash…”

Steel Treasure had been outside earlier and naturally saw the battle between Aodinihi and several other General-level Pets. He immediately calmed down.

【But once we’re safe, we can have it predict the location of your next stage of evolution as repayment.】 Qiao Sang continued to say in her mind.

【Steel Slash.】 Steel Treasure replied with his thoughts.

This was the only way.

After comforting Steel Treasure, Qiao Sang went to the coffee table, pulled out a tissue, handed it over, and said softly,

“You’ve worked hard this time. Don’t cry. We might have another tough battle ahead.”

“Xun… Xun!”

When Xiao Xunbao heard the first half of the sentence, she took the tissue, wiped her tears, and then, as her Yu Beast Master’s latter half of the sentence reached her ears, she immediately perked up.

All the food was eaten, if that flute-playing guy was also snatched away, then she would truly be losing both her Pet and her wealth!

If she could protect this guy and become the boss, the sacrifice of these foods would be worth it!

In an instant, Xiao Xunbao reignited her fighting spirit.

Seeing Xiao Xunbao’s state recover, Qiao Sang felt relieved and clicked the service button on the nearby virtual screen.

“Hello, how may I help you?” A pleasant voice sounded.

Qiao Sang stated her request: “Please bring me a few bottles of energy recovery fluid.”

As it was VIP service, they were well-prepared for food, and naturally, energy recovery fluid was also prepared.

“Okay, please wait a moment.”

After about four or five minutes, a knock on the door sounded.

“Come in.” Qiao Sang said.

A female Staff in uniform pushed the door open and entered.

As she entered, a fresh scent seemed to permeate the air.

The Staff placed four bottles of energy recovery fluid on the coffee table and said respectfully in a slightly low voice,

“Here is the energy recovery fluid you requested.”

Qiao Sang looked up at her.

Fair skin, a few freckles on her nose and cheeks, a mole on her lower left lip, and chestnut hair neatly coiled at the back, she looked exactly like one of the people in the photo she had seen not long ago.

!!!

Freydin Tate… Qiao Sang almost blurted out a “holy crap.”

How did she know she was here?

What about the other Staff?

Did they just let her replace them so easily?

Qiao Sang’s heart was churning with turmoil, but she calmly withdrew her gaze and said to Steel Treasure in her mind:

【Use Air Absorption on this person.】

Steel Treasure stood still and did not move.

“Is there anything else you need?” Freydin asked in a respectful tone.

Qiao Sang: “???”

What’s going on?

Steel Treasure couldn’t hear what she was saying in her mind?

Could it be that her bond with Steel Treasure had weakened at some point?

Qiao Sang was full of questions, but she maintained a calm facade, just about to answer.

“Ah…”

At this moment, she suddenly heard an extremely painful sound, as if from a far distance, yet also as if right beside her.

Qiao Sang was all too familiar with this kind of painful sound.

It was the sound of someone struggling to breathe.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then said to Steel Treasure in her mind:

【Stab me with a feather.】

The Steel Treasure in front of her didn’t move.

But a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of Qiao Sang’s hand, as if something had pricked it.

In an instant, the scene before her eyes quietly shattered.

Freydin, who had been standing respectfully, was now lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

Steel Treasure was beside her, looking confused, raising his wing, seemingly ready to stab again.

Ya Bao and Lu Bao were still standing nearby as before, but their eyes were vacant, as if their souls weren’t present.

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes were also vacant, and beside her was a Pet about 80 centimeters tall, wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet, purplish-red all over, with a diamond-shaped nose, two large yellow agate-like objects on either side of its head, and several translucent tentacles on its lower body. This Pet was using a tentacle to hold a transparent device and was about to cover Xiao Xunbao with it.

Qiao Sang’s adrenaline surged, and reflexively, she waved her hand, retracting Xiao Xunbao into the yu beast codex.

Phew…

Seeing Xiao Xunbao safely returned, she let out a sigh of relief.

“Malao.”

The purplish-red Pet covered nothing, then turned to look.

Freydin had already recovered by this time.

She climbed up from the ground, looked at Qiao Sang, and asked with a grim expression,

“How did you wake up?”

Qiao Sang looked at her, her expression also somewhat grim.

Freydin Tate’s General-level Pet, Malao Li, is Water-type and Poison-type, capable of emitting toxins that induce hallucinations in targets.

When she entered earlier, that fresh scent was probably the poison released by Malao Li.

If she hadn’t already seen her photo beforehand and instantly become alert, communicating with Steel Treasure through telepathy, Xiao Xunbao might have truly been successfully taken away.

Fortunately, this hallucination didn’t seem to block telepathic communication, allowing Steel Treasure to successfully hear her command, use space absorption, and also wake her up.

It’s just that the world in Steel Treasure’s eyes didn’t seem real either.

Qiao Sang got up, dodged Steel Treasure’s feather that was about to stab her again, her expression solemn, and knowingly asked,

“Who are you?”

At the same time, she shouted telepathically in her mind: 【Wake up quickly, you are in a hallucination now! Stab yourself with a feather!】

Steel Treasure froze for a moment, then immediately raised his feather without hesitation and struck himself hard.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure’s eyes cleared, and then he sensed something, turning to look warily at Malao Li, who had not been in the room earlier.

Seeing Steel Slash Giant Falcon’s movement, Freydin’s heart sank.

Steel Slash Giant Falcon had actually woken up too, what on earth was going on…

She couldn’t delay any longer. If Flame Qilu and Ice Aipalu also woke up, this hard-won opportunity would be wasted.

Thinking of this, Freydin stopped talking nonsense and immediately said,

“Poisonous Liquid Impact!”

“Malao!”

Malao Li opened her mouth and sprayed a torrent of corrosive green liquid like a tide.

The entire room was instantly filled with a foul stench.

The direction the poisonous liquid was sprayed was not at Steel Treasure, but at Qiao Sang.

“Steel Slash!”

Steel Treasure’s body slowly grew larger, subconsciously wanting to shield his Yu Beast Master.

At this moment, her Yu Beast Master’s voice appeared in his mind:

【Don’t mind me, go wake up Ya Bao and the others.】

Steel Treasure’s heart trembled, he really wanted to refuse, but he still spread his wings, turning into a white light, and rushed towards Ya Bao’s direction.

Once under a hallucination, any real external damage can basically wake one up. She had received feedback from Lu Bao, and Coach Er’ma had said that her immunity had reached a superhuman level. Even if she was poisoned by a General-level Pet, she wouldn’t die immediately. As long as Steel Treasure successfully woke up Ya Bao and the others, she should be able to hold on until Lu Bao woke up… Qiao Sang thought, while quickly lifting the coffee table and tilting it to block in front of her.

With her current strength, lifting the coffee table was incredibly easy and effortless.

Although she wouldn’t die immediately if poisoned by a General-level Pet, she couldn’t just stand there foolishly and let the venom spray all over her.

“Poof…”

The green liquid impacted the coffee table, immediately emitting corrosive green smoke, and penetrating to Qiao Sang’s hand.

Pain immediately struck.

The venom penetrated and landed on her hand, instantly creating a dark red wound.

Hiss, it hurts so much… Qiao Sang endured the pain and didn’t cry out.

She understood that if she cried out, it would definitely distract Steel Treasure.

Freydin formed hand seals.

An orange-yellow star array lit up.

At the same time, Steel Treasure used Electro-optic Flash, continuously colliding with Ya Bao and Lu Bao.

“Ya Ya!”

“Ice Ai!”

The pain instantly cleared Ya Bao and Lu Bao’s eyes.

When they saw the scene before them, they all showed angry expressions.

Calm down, as long as I control Qiao Sang first, her Pets will naturally be nothing to fear. At this distance, I will definitely get her first… Freydin looked at the black-haired girl about two meters away from her, just about to open her mouth and have the summoned Electric Wave Toad attack.

Suddenly, she was violently slammed to the ground by a huge force.

Freydin felt the pain in her back and her face twisted.

She tried to struggle to her feet, but found she couldn’t move at all.

Freydin looked up and saw Flame Qilu stepping on her, with what seemed like fire in his eyes. Her heart stopped for a moment, and an uncontrollable panic welled up. She roared,

“Ten Thousand Volts!”

She had received feedback from the Electric Wave Toad, so she had a certain resistance to lightning, and thus was not afraid of the Electric Wave Toad’s Ten Thousand Volts affecting her.

Now the most important thing was to get this Flame Qilu off her!

“Electric Wave.”

The Electric Wave Toad let out a cry, and countless yellow electric arcs suddenly surged from its body.

Ya Bao stared intently at the human below, opening her mouth.

Several times the size of Flame Qilu’s head, condensed from flames, immediately appeared in front of her.

At this time, Ya Bao was still in her shrunken state, so the condensed Flame Qilu head wasn’t particularly large.

However, the heat of its flames seemed capable of scorching everything.

Freydin felt the heat wave rushing towards her, her face turned pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

Violent yellow lightning bolts suddenly struck towards Ya Bao’s location.

Ya Bao seemed to not feel the approaching lightning at all, revealing her fangs engulfed in flames, and bit down fiercely.

Just as the lightning was about to strike Ya Bao, the ground beneath the Electric Wave Toad’s feet turned to ice, causing it to slide forward, its body leaning back. The lightning arced gracefully upwards, striking the ceiling above.

The ceiling above exploded with a “boom,” shattering into pieces, and stones rained down like a storm.

“Malao!”

Seeing this, Malao Li rushed out immediately, wanting to rescue her Yu Beast Master.

But just as she took her first step, she suddenly couldn’t breathe and felt suffocated. She stopped her movement, revealing a painful expression.

Steel Treasure was on the side, opening his mouth and using Air Absorption.

Freydin felt the scorching heat rushing towards her, and only one thought flashed through her mind:

It’s over.

However, the imagined pain of being roasted by flames did not come.

Freydin opened her eyes and found that Flame Qilu had disappeared from her body.

Before she could even be happy, countless stones came crashing down, completely burying her underneath.

On the other side, Lu Bao had already grown larger, shielding her Yu Beast Master beneath her.

Stones crashed down with “bang, bang, bang” sounds, and dust drifted down.

“Malao!”

“Electric Wave!”

Malao Li regained her breath, and Electric Wave Toad also stabilized her body. When they saw their Yu Beast Master buried by stones, they couldn’t help but rush over, showing anxious expressions.

At this moment, the door was suddenly thrown open with a “bang.”

Several Staff appeared at the doorway.

“Oh! My goodness! What happened here?!” exclaimed a woman whose uniform was different from the others, looking like a leader.

No, not coming early, not coming late, but only coming when the scene is like this, they won’t make me pay, will they… Qiao Sang had experienced Ya Bao’s destruction incident before, and she still had lingering fears.

She crawled out from under Lu Bao, looked at the messy scene in the room, and decided to preemptively strike:

“I want to file a complaint.”
