Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 86: The Adventures of Magnetic Mouse
The ultimate goal of coming to Qiao Sang’s Old Home this summer vacation was to help the Fire Fang Dog train and evolve.
Finding wild Transcendent Beings to battle in Qiao Sang’s Old Home was already a part of the training.
Actually, Qiao Sang’s favorite training ground was the small forest near Tan’an Township.
Because the mountain required climbing, which was troublesome, while the small forest in Tan’an Township was on flat ground, making it easy to come and go.
But since she was already at the foot of Huangming Mountain this time, she thought of going up to train with wild Pets along the way.
On Huangming Mountain.
Qiao Sang cautiously observed her surroundings.
Although this was not a secret realm, and high-level wild Transcendent Beings would not appear, necessary safety precautions still had to be taken.
Facing an environment with wild Pets, the most taboo thing was carelessness.
The mountain path wound, and Qiao Sang walked on a narrow trail, with the Fire Fang Dog and Magnetic Armored Rat leading the way.
The surroundings were eerily quiet; after walking for several tens of minutes, not a single wild Pet was seen.
Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on the Magnetic Armored Rat leading the way.
It wasn’t that there were no wild Pets at all…
The Magnetic Armored Rat shivered, inexplicably feeling a chill.
Ten minutes later.
Qiao Sang finally saw the first wild Pet—a Saddle Fluffworm.
Its body was brown with a yellow-green vest, making it look like a saddle, and this saddle-like body was covered in fine white fluff.
“Ya Bao!” Qiao Sang immediately shouted.
“Ya!”
The Fire Fang Dog immediately stopped and assumed a battle stance, while the Magnetic Armored Rat was startled and also stopped.
The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost lay on Qiao Sang’s head, watching curiously.
The Saddle Fluffworm heard the sound, turned its head to look over, and then slowly wiggled past Qiao Sang without a care.
Qiao Sang stood stunned for a long time.
This was quite awkward…
Some Beginner wild Pets were relatively simple and non-aggressive; as long as they were not provoked, they generally would not attack without reason.
And the Saddle Fluffworm was clearly of this type.
Qiao Sang found it a bit hard to attack this type of wild Pet.
“Ya?”
The Fire Fang Dog looked at its Yu Beast Master in confusion.
Qiao Sang cleared her throat and said, “It’s nothing, I just wanted you to be careful when walking.”
“Ya.”
The Fire Fang Dog became embarrassed.
It had actually misunderstood its Yu Beast Master’s meaning.
After walking for another ten-odd minutes on the mountain road.
The Magnetic Armored Rat stopped and pointed to a certain spot, making an inviting gesture.
“Ci.”
“Cici.”
Without needing the Fire Fang Dog to translate, Qiao Sang understood the Magnetic Armored Rat’s meaning just from its actions.
She was about to refuse when her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a certain spot.
Compared to other patches of grass, the movement in that particular patch was especially noticeable.
“Ya Bao!”
“Ya!”
The Fire Fang Dog’s eyes changed, and it once again assumed a battle stance.
The next second, a slightly larger Magnetic Armored Rat suddenly burst out from the bushes and attacked without a word.
Golden-yellow electricity permeated its body, and an arc of electricity instantly shot straight towards Qiao Sang.
Seeing this, the Fire Fang Dog rushed forward without thinking, intending to block the electric arc with its body.
Fortunately, Qiao Sang, quick-witted, hugged the Fire Fang Dog, who had suddenly run in front of her, and rolled to the side.
The electric arc struck the ground, sparks flew, leaving a small pit.
“Ya!”
“Yaya!”
The Fire Fang Dog turned its head and looked at Qiao Sang worriedly.
“I’m fine.” Qiao Sang quickly got up and shook her head.
She was afraid that if she moved too slowly, another electric arc would strike her.
After seeing that its Yu Beast Master was fine, red flames suddenly surged from the Fire Fang Dog’s body. It angrily looked at the suddenly appearing Magnetic Armored Rat, poised to rush over.
But just as the Fire Fang Dog was about to rush over, it found that the Magnetic Armored Rat actually rose into the air, suspended in mid-air.
“Ci!!!”
The floating Magnetic Armored Rat struggled desperately, its eyes glaring at Qiao Sang, as if it wished it could rush up and bite her.
Qiao Sang also noticed the commotion here. She paused, then turned to look at the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost beside her.
At this moment, there was no longer any curiosity in the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s eyes.
She saw a blue light emanating from its body, its body floating in mid-air, and its yellow eyeballs had also turned blue.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a long time.
Using telekinesis to control objects and controlling living beings were two completely different concepts.
The energy consumption difference was not just a little bit.
And the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was actually able to use telekinesis to control others, and it was even controlling a wild Pet that was struggling desperately.
One must know that the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was only four days old…
The Fire Fang Dog quickly recovered.
It pushed its hind legs back, the flames on its body expanded again, and it rushed out like lightning.
Its speed was so fast that one only felt a red light flash by.
Just as the Fire Fang Dog leaped up to hit the Magnetic Armored Rat, a yellow figure blocked in front of that Magnetic Armored Rat.
The Fire Fang Dog’s Flame Charge was so fierce that it directly knocked the yellow figure, along with the Magnetic Armored Rat blocked behind it, flying.
“Ci!”
“Ci!”
Two Magnetic Armored Rats with different vocal tones cried out simultaneously.
Soon after, both Magnetic Armored Rats fainted.
Qiao Sang looked at the smaller Magnetic Armored Rat that had just rushed out and blocked in front, and she understood everything.
The larger Magnetic Armored Rat that suddenly appeared and attacked clearly knew the Magnetic Armored Rat she had brought back.
It must have decided that she was a bad person and chose to attack…
Qiao Sang looked sympathetically at the Magnetic Armored Rat she had brought back, which was now lying on the ground unconscious.
This child had had such a miserable few days.
After finally escaping and almost reaching Qiao Sang’s Old Home, such a vexing thing had to happen.
She felt that this experience could even be written into a book.
She had even thought of the title: “The Adventures of the Magnetic Armored Rat.”
“Ya!”
“Ya!”
The Fire Fang Dog, realizing it had knocked out the little companion it had just been chatting with, anxiously ran to Qiao Sang’s side and barked.
“It’s okay, you didn’t do it on purpose. Even if you had discovered it was him blocking in front of you while you were rushing out, you wouldn’t have been able to control Flame Charge at such a short distance.” Qiao Sang stroked the Fire Fang Dog’s head and comforted it: “I brought medicine, which I can use to provide Healing for it.”
Since she hadn’t contracted a Pet with Healing skills, Qiao Sang bought some medicine that could heal injuries, just in case.
As for this type of Healing medicine, Qiao Sang bought some at the Pet base after contracting the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
Even if she didn’t go to a secret realm, it was always good to carry some around.
Sure enough, it came in handy so quickly.
“Qunbao, medicine.” Qiao Sang turned to look at the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
The Fire Fang Dog already had a name, and Qiao Sang didn’t want to show favoritism, but she couldn’t think of a nice name for the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost for a while, so she simply removed the character for ‘ghost’ and called it Qunbao.
This name had been used for two days, and the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost liked it very much.
The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was currently floating beside the larger Magnetic Armored Rat, just about to use Dream Eating on it to restore its own consumed energy.
When Qiao Sang called out, the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s body stiffened, feeling as if it had been caught doing something bad.
“Xun~”
The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost decisively gave up what it had just intended to do.
It floated back to Qiao Sang’s side, took off its ring, and pulled out a bottle of medical spray from inside.
