Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 810: Curse of the King-level Pet (7000)
The King-level Pet’s roar made everyone’s hearts tremble.
Although there were many wild Pets in the 30th District, King-level Pets were quite rare, and Emperor-level Pets had their own territories, which were always designated as forbidden areas. As long as one didn’t actively step in, they usually didn’t bother with humans.
Therefore, having Yu Beast Masters with King-level Pets stationed at the airport already showed how much importance was placed on the airport’s security facilities.
With the airport’s Barrier and a King-level Pet guarding it, the number of wild Pets intentionally coming in to cause destruction significantly decreased.
It was also unknown if King-level Pets usually had high intelligence and knew that the airport was guarded by Pets of the same level every day, making it difficult to breach, so they never actively entered.
This was the first time they had seen a King-level Pet break into the airport since they started working.
The appearance of the Grass Candle Monster made the Staff’s hearts heavy, and they all looked at Archie, the Yu Beast Master of the Lightning Fury Horse, and the King-level Pet Heavy Suspended Crocodile, who was on duty today, hoping they could deal with the Grass Candle Monster without damaging the aircraft.
Archie looked at the Grass Candle Monster, his expression solemn, feeling a headache about how to deal with it.
Although there was the Heavy Suspended Crocodile at the airport in addition to his Lightning Fury Horse, the Heavy Suspended Crocodile’s Yu Beast Master was not at the airport, and he couldn’t communicate with the Heavy Suspended Crocodile, making cooperation impossible.
Moreover, he also had to consider the dozens of parked airplanes and couldn’t fight freely, which would inevitably greatly reduce his combat power.
Difficult to handle…
At this moment, the Grass Candle Monster, the focus of attention, ignored the Lightning Fury Horse and Heavy Suspended Crocodile, who were at the same level as it, and instead fixed its angry gaze on Qiao Sang.
In its opinion, the human’s eyes were full of Taunt in the two seconds they made eye contact after she recalled that bird.
It was simply blatant Taunt!
“Grass Candle!”
How could the Grass Candle Monster tolerate this? It let out a loud cry, and purple light gleamed in its eyes.
In an instant, the world grew dim.
The originally clear night sky suddenly became pitch black, without a trace of light.
Even though Qiao Sang had received feedback and had good night vision, she could only see Ya Bao’s two pairs of flame wings.
Its flame wings were no longer so dazzling, able to illuminate the surrounding objects, as if their light was suppressed by the power of darkness.
“Let’s go!” With the previous eye contact, Qiao Sang anticipated that the Grass Candle Monster was coming for her, and without hesitation, she chose to leave first.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
The imagined Space Movement failed, and Xiao Xunbao cried out in panic, indicating that the Space Movement had failed.
Qiao Sang’s heart instantly chilled.
…
Waiting hall.
The rescued passengers did not run out of the airport.
The wild Pets in the waiting hall had been dealt with all at once, which gave them more or less a sense of security.
Running out of the airport at this time might not be safer than staying inside the airport.
At least there were professional security personnel inside the airport expelling wild Pets.
However, the passengers were now looking at the pitch-black scene outside the glass curtain wall, their hearts filled with fear, becoming uneasy once again.
“That Ghost-type Pet that appeared looks over ten meters tall, could it be a King-level Pet?”
“Grass, Grass Candle Monster, it, it’s a King-level Pet…” A passenger who recognized the Grass Candle Monster turned pale and said tremblingly.
Some of the people around who had just learned that the Ghost-type Pet was King-level instantly became agitated.
“Everyone, don’t panic! We also have a King-level Pet on duty tonight!” A Staff member on the side soothed, “Please believe in us!”
Hearing this, the passengers were no longer so panicked.
The pregnant lady stared at the glass curtain wall outside.
She had seen it earlier when it wasn’t completely dark outside, that the young girl who had saved her was out there.
Her eyes were filled with worry.
Please be safe…
…
Dark Imprisonment… After realizing that Xiao Xunbao couldn’t perform Space Movement, Qiao Sang immediately understood the skill the Grass Candle Monster was currently using.
Dark Imprisonment, a Ghost-type Ultra-level skill, when cast, can turn a certain area completely dark and imprison creatures within it, preventing them from going anywhere. It’s not an attack skill, but it makes escape impossible, vision impossible, and also blocks signals. Staying in it for a long time has a high probability of causing the target to have a mental breakdown.
Fortunately, Ya Bao is here… Qiao Sang felt the soft fur of Ya Bao in her hand and the slight warmth from its flame wings, and her heart felt a little safer.
At this moment, a loud “rumble” came from above.
Thunder roared, and electric light twisted like mad snakes in the air, suddenly appearing, briefly illuminating the entire darkness for a moment.
Immediately after, Qiao Sang felt two auras approaching her.
Judging from the sound, one of the auras seemed to be approaching by flapping its wings.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao obviously also felt the two unfamiliar auras. It opened its mouth, and scorching flames condensed in its throat.
Just as it was about to spray, a voice came from far to near:
“Don’t panic, it’s me.”
At this time, the thunder dissipated, and the surroundings were already pitch black again.
Qiao Sang listened to the voice, feeling a little familiar, and tentatively asked:
“Uncle?”
“It’s me.” Archie quickly responded.
Ya Bao silently closed its mouth, dissipating the flames.
“Don’t be afraid, the Grass Candle Monster is using Dark Imprisonment, not an attack skill.” Archie comforted, “I called you for help, and I will absolutely be responsible for your safety. You just need to stay by my side.”
If you say so, I’ll be relieved… Qiao Sang immediately felt much more at ease.
She was about to speak when she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, experiencing an unprecedented crisis.
“Go!” Qiao Sang instinctively shouted.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao’s eyes glowed blue, and it took its Yu Beast Master and disappeared from its original spot.
The Grass Candle Monster appeared at the spot where Qiao Sang had disappeared, revealing a “tsk” expression.
Just as it was about to continue looking for that human, dozens of chains condensed from lightning struck from all directions.
…
I left Uncle behind… But he’s a Yu Beast Master with a King-level Pet after all, he should be fine… Qiao Sang couldn’t feel the two auras beside her, her heart first skipped a beat, and then she quickly began to comfort herself.
Dark Imprisonment can confine creatures within the dark area, preventing them from using Space Movement or similar skills to go outside, and they cannot leave this area. However, teleporting within this dark area is not a problem.
She looked at the still pitch-black surroundings, unsure of her location.
But without that chilling feeling down her spine, she knew she had escaped danger.
Suddenly, intense sounds of fighting and explosions came from the front, occasionally a yellow electric arc flashing by.
Did I come from that direction? Did the Grass Candle Monster and Lightning Fury Horse start fighting? Qiao Sang instinctively began to analyze.
Actually, she wasn’t completely unable to interfere in a King-level Pet battle now.
Lu Bao’s energy had reached the General-level peak, and it had just replenished with A-grade Energy Recovery Liquid, so performing the Ice Heaven Domain a second time was no problem.
Ya Bao and Xiao Xunbao both knew Mind Headbutt, and if they used it simultaneously, briefly controlling a King-level Pet for one or two seconds should be easy.
The problem was that Ghost-type Pets were elusive, and being in Dark Imprisonment made it impossible to determine its location.
Conversely, the Pet casting Dark Imprisonment had normal vision within this area and could move freely.
The Grass Candle Monster clearly had its eyes on her, but it hadn’t continuously attacked her now, so it must have been held back…
As thoughts flashed, there was a loud “bang.”
It seemed as if something heavy had slammed to the ground.
Immediately after, there was a miserable cry of “Flash!”
Dust flew, stones splattered, and the huge airflow almost blew Qiao Sang off Ya Bao’s back.
“Flash” was the cry of the Lightning Fury Horse, could it be that it was knocked down by the Grass Candle Monster… Qiao Sang’s heart sank, and she hugged Ya Bao tightly to keep herself from falling off.
Suddenly, an elderly voice came from outside through a loudspeaker: “Sandstorm.”
“Heavy!”
With a roar, in the darkness, a world-engulfing Sandstorm suddenly swirled up.
The sand devoured everything in the darkness like a tsunami.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao’s flame wings closed upwards, tightly shielding Qiao Sang, Lu Bao, and Xiao Xunbao inside.
Its claws gripped the ground firmly, trying to stabilize its body.
But the power of the Sandstorm was too great. Ya Bao only held on for three seconds before it was lifted like dust and swept into it.
Qiao Sang only felt dizzy, as if she was being rolled around by something.
A little dust seeped through the gaps in the wings.
Fortunately, Ya Bao protected them very tightly; even while in the Sandstorm, its wings remained firmly closed upwards.
Soon, Qiao Sang felt a downward falling sensation.
Her heart tightened, and she shouted:
“Xiao Xunbao!”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao had practiced anti-dizziness, so its mind was still relatively clear. When it heard its Yu Beast Master’s voice, it immediately understood, and blue light glowed in its eyes.
In an instant, the feeling of falling disappeared.
Then, the gem on Lu Bao’s forehead glowed blue, illuminating Ya Bao’s body.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao’s energetic voice rang out, and it spread its wings.
What met their eyes was a sky full of yellow curtain.
The sky was still dim, but it was no longer completely plunged into darkness.
Qiao Sang clearly saw the Grass Candle Monster not far away, covering its nose and mouth, and the Lightning Fury Horse on the ground, still struggling to get up.
At this moment, she heard her own strong heartbeat, forgetting that this was the best time to use Space Movement to leave, and shouted:
“Ice Heaven Domain!”
Lu Bao jumped off Ya Bao, its body slowly growing larger until it returned to its original size.
When a Pet’s body shrinks, it will more or less affect the发挥 of its strength. Otherwise, the previous fight in the VIP room wouldn’t have just simply damaged the ceiling.
“Ice Ai!”
Lu Bao let out a loud cry, and the surrounding temperature plummeted, but no frost condensed. Instead, thick ice suddenly froze on the Grass Candle Monster not far away.
Ice Heaven Domain, as long as it’s within the range of its activation, the target will be frozen. Whether or not the ice in other areas freezes is entirely up to the Pet casting the skill.
This, what kind of skill is this? It can instantly freeze a King-level Pet… The small number of Staff members who were still conscious under the Sandstorm’s assault stared at the scene before them, stunned.
“Quick, focus your attack!” Qiao Sang picked up the loudspeaker that Lu Bao had just dropped on Ya Bao’s back, aimed it, and said urgently.
Ice Heaven Domain is indeed an Ultra-level skill, but the further along it goes, the greater the difference between each Pet level.
A King-level Pet being frozen by a General-level Pet was entirely because Ice Heaven Domain was an Ultra-level skill, plus Lu Bao’s current energy was sufficiently abundant.
But even so, a King-level Pet could break free from the ice shell’s restraint at any time with just a little effort.
They must seize this period of being frozen to attack quickly!
“Lightning Chain!” Archie suppressed the shock in his heart and issued the command first.
“Power Gem.” The elderly voice sounded through the loudspeaker.
“Ten Thousand Volts!”
“Ice Beam!”
“Shadow Ball!”
“Bullet Seed!”
The Staff members recovered and issued commands one after another.
Qiao Sang formed hand seals.
The orange-yellow star array lit up.
Steel Treasure quickly appeared within it.
“Attack it!” Qiao Sang shouted loudly.
Ya Bao opened its mouth without a word, and a golden-red spherical flame shot straight out instantly.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao’s head condensed white light, intending to use Mind Headbutt, but when it saw various colored skills concentrating their attack in the same direction, it silently withdrew the white light on its head, raised its paw, and condensed a huge Shadow Ball to throw over.
“Steel Slash.”
Although Steel Treasure had just come out, it still understood the current situation immediately.
It flew high into the sky, its body rapidly growing larger, and then it shook its body, purple light gleaming on all its feathers, and half of them flew directly towards the Grass Candle Monster’s location.
Dozens of lightning-condensed chains tightly bound the still-frozen Grass Candle Monster.
Hundreds of gem-like spherical energies burst forth from the Heavy Suspended Crocodile’s body.
Flames, lightning, ice beams, green lasers, sparkling gems…
“Bang bang bang!!!”
Various colored skills struck the Grass Candle Monster.
The ice shell instantly shattered into powder!
“Grass Candle!!!”
The Grass Candle Monster let out an extremely painful cry.
Explosions followed one after another.
Wave after wave of shockwaves ravaged the Grass Candle Monster’s body.
The entire apron was completely filled with the light emanating from these skills, as various skills collided, forming countless shockwaves that continuously vibrated the space.
The lingering yellow curtain and black clouds were dispersed, but they churned into an even murkier curtain, obscuring everything on the apron.
Inside the glass curtain wall.
The waiting hall.
Everyone watched the scene outside, their eyes wide, then, a beat later, one by one they pulled out their phones, opened their cameras, and began to film and record this shocking scene.
On the apron.
The sound of explosions lasted for a very, very long time.
When everything returned to calm, the Grass Candle Monster was already lying on the ground, charred all over, eyes closed, and motionless.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.
But just then, the Grass Candle Monster, which had suffered continuous heavy injuries, laboriously opened its eyes, revealing an extremely unwilling gaze, slowly opened its mouth, and suddenly began to sing:
“Grass grass~ Grass grass~ Grass…”
“Everyone cover your ears!” An aged voice rang out through the loudspeaker.
The singing, however, stopped abruptly at this moment.
The Grass Candle Monster closed its eyes again.
The Staff, who had just felt a surge of joy, suddenly felt their hearts chill.
The atmosphere became extremely solemn for a moment.
Grass Candle Monster, likes to wander and sing at night, and if you hear its song, you will be cursed… Qiao Sang thought of the Grass Candle Monster’s information, and her heart skipped a beat:
She hasn’t been cursed yet, has she…
The surrounding Staff were clearly worried about this as well.
After a brief silence, they began to panic:
“Are we cursed?”
“No way, the Grass Candle Monster doesn’t seem to have finished a single line…”
“Don’t scare me, I can’t bear a King-level Pet’s curse, I’m still so young…”
“This counts as a work injury! The company should find us a Pet that can lift curses!”
“I want to ask, what type of curse is the Grass Candle Monster’s curse power?”
“I don’t know! I haven’t seen it in any books!”
“Could it be that everyone who was cursed by the Grass Candle Monster is gone, so there are no detailed records…”
“Ah! Don’t scare me!”
“Alright, alright, calm down everyone, you all finish up the aftermath work first,” Archie said.
As a Yu Beast Master with a King-level Pet, his words clearly carried great authority.
Everyone stopped talking and quickly got to work.
Archie looked around, finally his gaze fell on the black-haired girl in the distance, he smiled, and walked towards her.
“Click…”
Just then, a sound of something breaking came from the sky.
Everyone heard the movement, looked up one after another, and then their faces turned pale, filled with despair.
Only to see that the Barrier in the high sky was broken again!
Immediately, various Flying-type Pets excitedly swooped down from the high sky.
Archie’s expression was grave, and he had no choice but to stop.
What the hell, what’s going on, could it be the power of the curse? Qiao Sang’s expression changed.
“Ya Ya!”
Yabao continuously sprayed Flame Jet at the wild Pets charging towards them.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao used three-dimensional Dark Shadow Control, binding one charging wild Pet after another.
“Ice Ai…”
The previous Ice Heaven Domain had drastically reduced the energy within Lubao, so it subconsciously conserved energy and used Water Gun, which consumed relatively less energy, to attack.
“Steel Slash.”
Compared to Yabao and the others, Steel Treasure seemed relatively more strained.
It was using Wing Blade to attack.
Hundreds of purple blade-like feathers continuously attacked the wild Pets that were coming towards it.
At first, it could still block them, but later, many wild Pets broke through the purple blade attacks and continued to attack.
Steel Treasure had no choice but to turn its entire body into a glowing iron-gray, using Iron Wall for defense.
The occasional pain on her body made Qiao Sang think of something, she looked in the direction of Steel Treasure, and asked in her mind:
【Do you want to go back?】
【Steel Slash.】 Steel Treasure remained still and replied in her mind.
No.
It didn’t want to go back to a safe place just because it felt a little pressure.
Yabao and the others were fighting, so why should it go back?
It was weaker than Yabao and the others, but it couldn’t get stronger without getting hurt. True powerhouses don’t grow in their comfort zones.
Fortunately, I’ve been practicing defense for a while now… Qiao Sang looked at Steel Treasure’s stubborn back, feeling both fortunate and a little relieved.
It’s a good thing for a Pet to be proactive.
If she and Steel Treasure experienced a few more battles like this, they might even be able to develop an indestructible body in the future…
Suddenly, Qiao Sang saw something, her thoughts stopped abruptly, and she shouted:
“Dodge!”
In the high sky, a cyan figure, moving at the speed of a meteor, charged towards Steel Treasure with a magnificent aura.
In just a glance, Qiao Sang judged from its aura and size that it was a General-level Pet.
Yabao and the others naturally weren’t afraid of a General-level Pet, but Steel Treasure had to avoid it and couldn’t directly confront it.
In the blink of an eye, the cyan figure collided with Steel Treasure’s body.
It was so fast that there was no time to dodge.
Qiao Sang’s heart trembled, but the imagined pain did not come.
She realized something, her gaze moved upwards, looking at a higher position.
Only to see two identical Steel Treasures appearing in the sky.
Qiao Sang was stunned at first, then a wave of pleasant surprise.
Clone!
Steel Treasure learned Clone!
In fact, after Yabao and the others learned high-level skills in a short period of time, and even awakened Ultra-level skills, she should have been numb to mere intermediate-level skills.
But Steel Treasure had wasted too much time learning this Clone.
During this period, she even found the Dean of Lingwen Academy to draw a Spiritual Mark on it to improve its comprehension.
In order to better learn Clone, when Steel Treasure first entered the Pet beauty salon, it only accepted massages and refused any styling on its body to avoid damaging the Spiritual Mark.
But even so, there was still no progress with Clone.
She had thought that Steel Treasure had low talent for learning the skill of Clone.
She didn’t expect the surprise to come so suddenly.
Indeed, strength still needs to grow in battle!
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao wiggled its short toes, and the ribbon-like shadow instantly bound the cyan bird Pet, spinning it 360 degrees at high speed.
This move was incredibly effective against wild Pets that hadn’t prepared beforehand.
Before long, the black shadow loosened, and the cyan bird Pet’s eyes showed a mosquito-coil pattern, falling to the ground and fainting.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao grinned, just about to continue attacking.
As it wiggled its short toes, it suddenly sensed something, paused, turned its head and called out to its Yu Beast Master, indicating that the guy who played the flute was about to come out, and that it could help.
Hmm? Aodinihi is willing to help? No, can it see the outside scene from the ring? Then wouldn’t it have seen everything that happened… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then said:
“Let it out.”
Aodinihi itself had voluntarily entered the ring, and it had eaten so many of her things in the ring. If it could see everything happening outside, if it saw the danger she had suffered for its sake earlier, it shouldn’t be so cold-hearted as to turn around and leave…
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao heard its Yu Beast Master’s words, took off the ring, and reached its paw inside to rummage around.
After realizing it couldn’t pull it out, the ring slowly grew larger.
Before long, a round-bodied Aodinihi, its face full of flesh and completely unrecognizable from its original appearance, was pulled out of the ring by Xiao Xunbao.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
As soon as it came out, Xiao Xunbao glared at it.
Every pound of fat on its body was food from inside the ring!
Aodinihi guiltily avoided its gaze.
“Di, burp~”
It looked around, let out a satisfied burp, and then its eyes glowed blue.
The next second, Aodinihi’s figure disappeared.
Gone?
It just left?!
Qiao Sang could hardly believe her eyes, her heart “splatted” and felt like it had shattered into two.
However, just then, a melodious flute sound suddenly echoed in the air.
Qiao Sang quickly looked up, but couldn’t see any trace of Aodinihi.
Even though the sounds of fighting and explosions on the apron were extremely intense, this flute sound accurately penetrated the ears of every person and Pet.
Inside the glass curtain wall.
The waiting hall.
The soundproofing was excellent, so everyone couldn’t hear the flute sound outside, but they noticed that the fighting outside had suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked at each other, and question marks could be seen in each other’s eyes.
…
Apron.
All the wild Pets showed confused expressions, their emotions gradually calmed down, and they no longer frantically charged through the airport or attacked.
The melodious flute sound echoed in the sky.
This, this flute sound… In a huge pit, Fuan Li raised his head, revealing his bruised and swollen face, which had already turned into a pig’s head.
He laboriously raised his hand, trembling, wanting to form a seal and summon the rest of his Pets.
The flute sound, Aodinihi’s flute sound!
The airport wouldn’t have a flute sound for no reason.
It could only be Aodinihi, who came with Qiao Sang!
At the same time.
Almost all the Staff noticed this flute sound.
Their previous despair gradually subsided, and they even had the mood to start discussing.
“Where did that flute sound come from?”
“It sounds so good…”
“I feel an unprecedented peace…”
“Huh? Why did all the wild Pets fly away?”
From a panoramic view, one by one, the wild Pets flapped their wings and left, without the slightest reluctance, as if they weren’t the ones who had just been fighting desperately.
The flute, Aodinihi played the flute… When the flute sound disappeared, Qiao Sang, with an excited heart, eagerly asked: “Did you see your next stage of evolution location just now?”
“Ya Ya.”
“Ice Ai.”
“Steel Slash.”
Yabao, Lubao, and Steel Treasure all shook their heads at the same time.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao froze for a moment, then also shook its head.
Qiao Sang: “???”
No.
Didn’t they say that listening to Aodinihi’s flute sound could predict the next stage of evolution location?!
Could it be that Aodinihi played a flute sound with a different effect…
That’s right, otherwise, these wild Pets wouldn’t have left so suddenly… Thinking of this, Qiao Sang felt such heartache that she could barely breathe.
Not only had she encountered multiple crises, but the emergency food in the ring had also been completely eaten, and it all turned out to be for nothing…
“Di Di.”
At this moment, a familiar cry sounded.
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
It’s Aodinihi’s cry!
Qiao Sang quickly looked in the direction of the sound, but found nothing.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration went through her mind, and she remembered the first time she saw Aodinihi, she also couldn’t see it directly. It seemed that at that time, it had used a Space-type skill.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
As her thoughts flickered, Xiao Xunbao called out with a tired expression, indicating that the flute-playing guy wanted to go back into the ring, and asking if it should let it go back?
“Yes! Of course, yes!” Qiao Sang’s spirits lifted, and she said without thinking.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao took off the ring.
Just as it was about to put Aodinihi in, Qiao Sang added:
“Let it go into the same ring it went into at first.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating understanding.
“Di Di…”
…
On the other side, Fuan Li slowly climbed out of the pit, feeling satisfied.
It seemed that Aodinihi should have left the Ghost Ring King’s ring, and it was most likely no longer here.
Fortunately, he successfully heard the flute sound.
As for Aogefu asking about it later, he couldn’t blame himself, it was his fault for coming so slowly…
Fuan Li grinned, wanting to laugh, but the pain in the corner of his mouth made his expression instantly retract.
Although the cost was a bit high, as long as he heard Aodinihi’s flute sound, everything was worth it…
Just as he was thinking, a voice sounded in front: “Sir, we suspect you are involved in tonight’s incident. Please come with us.”
I tried my best
