Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 879: Saw Dragon (2 in 1)
“Who went?” the person in charge’s voice rang out.
After about three or four seconds, Fang Lan replied, “It’s Qiao Sang…”
The event was grand, so there were many people from the Special Operations Department. Besides those specifically assigned to this area, there were also many strangers who came to take on tasks, so the person in charge couldn’t remember everyone’s names individually.
However, Qiao Sang was an exception.
Aside from her looking like a minor, her Pets were also unusual, making a deep impression.
The person in charge quickly recalled who Qiao Sang was.
He frowned, “Nonsense! Her assigned area is B Zone. How could she reach the Saw-Sound Dragon before the contestants? Is there anyone responsible for the Flying Obstacle Course who is near the Saw-Sound Dragon? A few of you should go over.”
Although the Saw-Sound Dragon was a King-level Dragon-type Pet Beast, its ability to appear so openly without causing a disturbance or being pursued and captured by the Patrol Department meant it must have been a contracted Pet.
Having been cultivated to the King-level, it must be well aware of human societal rules and able to communicate well. Even if its Yu Beast Master wasn’t nearby, as long as communication was established, there shouldn’t be any major problems.
Otherwise, not so many Yu Beast Masters would feel at ease letting their Pets act independently.
However, no one responded.
Even though everyone knew this Saw-Sound Dragon was definitely a contracted Pet, the Pressure a King-level Dragon-type Pet Beast brought was still enough that no one wanted to be the first to face it.
At this moment, Fang Lan spoke again:
“Um, I think Qiao Sang should be able to get there before the contestants. She has a Pet that can teleport. I just watched her teleport away.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Sang’s voice came through the walkie-talkie:
“I’m already here.”
“!!!”
That fast?!
All the Special Operations Department personnel were stunned.
…
Xiao Xunbao’s teleportation had now reached the Profound Meaning pinnacle level. As long as it knew the designated route and wasn’t afraid of wasting energy, long-distance movement was a matter of minutes.
Qiao Sang looked at the massive Saw-Sound Dragon not far away, which almost occupied half of the track, and her heart rate inevitably sped up again.
Although she didn’t know what would happen next with this Dragon-type Pet Beast, it was clear that the Pet in front of her was the Dragon-type Pet Beast from her dream, and it was the key to her brain domain development.
Her current brain domain was 49%; if she developed it further, it would be 50%.
With 50% brain domain, and then passing the B-Grade Professional Pet Tamer assessment, she could barely be considered a big shot in the future…
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang took a deep breath and, with a righteous aura, shouted:
“Saw-Sound Dragon! This is the Flight Tournament track! No stopping allowed!”
At the same time, she subconsciously imagined:
The Saw-Sound Dragon looked over with disdain, thinking, “How dare a mere human try to control me?” Then it attacked.
Ya Bao clashed with it, but was defeated.
She would definitely be attacked by the Saw-Sound Dragon during this process.
She remembered the data said the Saw-Sound Dragon could emit ultrasonic waves from its horns, attacking surrounding targets indiscriminately.
This Saw-Sound Dragon must be a contracted Pet, so it shouldn’t actively attack humans. However, there was a high possibility of being accidentally injured by its ultrasonic waves.
At that time, her brain domain would be severely affected, but she would ultimately persevere with her strong and unyielding will, achieving a breakthrough.
Just like when she was hypnotized, she struggled to wake up, resulting in a brain domain breakthrough and incidentally contracting Lu Bao…
However, the imagined scene did not happen.
“Saw, saw.”
The Saw-Sound Dragon looked to the side, and seeing that its stopping place was indeed different from elsewhere, it showed an apologetic expression, let out a cry, then flapped its wings and flew to the side, leaving the track.
Qiao Sang: “?! !!”
Ah! My destiny! Don’t leave!
What will I do if you leave!
“Ya Bao, chase it!” Qiao Sang said without thinking.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao moved its four limbs, about to run.
The next second, her Yu Beast Master’s voice rang out again:
“Wait!”
“Ya…”
Ya Bao stopped.
No, the location is wrong… Qiao Sang looked down through the gaps in the white clouds.
This wasn’t above the Yu Beast Center.
In other words, this wasn’t the place where she would have her breakthrough…
Should she chase it or not… Qiao Sang looked at the Saw-Sound Dragon’s gradually shrinking figure, feeling a bit hesitant.
The Saw-Sound Dragon was undoubtedly the Dragon-type Pet Beast from her dream.
Dragon-type Pet Beasts weren’t like those common Pets seen everywhere on the streets; it was impossible to see one and then see another a few minutes later.
What’s more, this was a King-level Dragon-type Pet Beast.
The probability of encountering two identical King-level Dragon-type Pet Beasts in the same city within a short period was practically zero.
This Saw-Sound Dragon in front of her was most likely the one she saw when she dreamed of the breakthrough location.
But the Pet was right, the location was wrong…
Should she give up? Maybe she would see it above the Yu Beast Center next time…
But would there really be such a coincidence? Meeting a Saw-Sound Dragon, which was usually unseen, again in a short time…
Could it be that Aodinihi’s prediction for her was also based on her already known predictions?
Just like Lu Bao’s evolution last time…
Various thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind, making it difficult to decide for a moment.
After a brief moment of thought, her eyes became firm:
“Chase!”
She shouldn’t place her hopes on an uncertain future. She should have learned from Lu Bao’s evolution experience last time that she needed to take the initiative into her own hands!
“Ya!”
Ya Bao cried out, flapped its wings, and turned into a streak of fire, chasing after it.
The Saw-Sound Dragon was Flying leisurely, so Ya Bao quickly caught up.
“Saw, saw?”
The Saw-Sound Dragon heard the movement, turned its head, recognized the human who had just told it to leave, and showed a puzzled expression, letting out a cry, indicating if there was anything else.
Ya Bao didn’t translate immediately as usual; most of its energy was still focused on controlling its doppelganger training.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao, seeing that Brother Ya Bao hadn’t spoken, promptly filled in as translator.
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “Nothing, I just came to ask why you’re here alone. Where’s your Yu Beast Master?”
“Saw, saw.”
Upon hearing this, the Saw-Sound Dragon showed a bewildered expression. It wasn’t a cub that needed its Yu Beast Master to accompany it everywhere.
“Xiao Xunbao.”
Xiao Xunbao finished translating and nodded in agreement.
Indeed, when it grew up, it also went out alone to gather its subordinates; its Yu Beast Master didn’t accompany it.
“That’s not what I meant.” Qiao Sang put on a kind smile: “I was just simply asking why you’re out alone. Is something wrong?”
She paused, then added: “Maybe I can help.”
“Saw, saw.”
The Saw-Sound Dragon retracted its gaze, continued Flying forward, and cried out, indicating that nothing was wrong and it was just wandering around.
Qiao Sang’s eyes immediately lit up:
“Then do you want to visit the Yu Beast Center? Should I take you there?”
“Saw, saw.”
The Saw-Sound Dragon looked over again, displaying an expression that said, “Are you alright?”
The Yu Beast Center, what’s so good about that rundown place?
Qiao Sang: “…”
Right, the Saw-Sound Dragon was already a King-level Dragon-type Pet Beast. Its Yu Beast Master must have been to many places, and perhaps they stayed at the Yu Beast Center every time they visited a new place, so the Saw-Sound Dragon should be very familiar with it…
“Xiao Xunbao~”
At this moment, Xiao Xunbao raised its short paw and cried out, indicating that the current Flight Tournament was very interesting and it could go watch.
“Saw, saw?”
The Saw-Sound Dragon stopped and looked at Xiao Xunbao.
Flight Tournament?
Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, feeling there was a chance.
Although the direction of the Flight Tournament was not the same as the Yu Beast Center, as long as she could get the Saw-Sound Dragon to follow, there would always be an opportunity to lead it to the Yu Beast Center.
Moreover, she was currently on a mission and it was time to go back.
Thinking this, Qiao Sang gave Xiao Xunbao an approving look.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao felt its Yu Beast Master’s gaze and instantly perked up, gesturing and promoting even more enthusiastically.
Although it didn’t know why its Yu Beast Master was following this guy, getting this guy to follow was always the right thing to do.
Steel Treasure silently glanced at Xiao Xunbao.
It remembered that its big brother hadn’t even finished watching a complete match…
“Saw, saw.”
Just as Xiao Xunbao was vigorously promoting, the Saw-Sound Dragon cried out, indicating that it had watched the Flight Tournament before.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao’s expression froze, revealing an awkward look.
Then wouldn’t the other party know that it had just been making things up…
“Saw, saw.”
Just when it thought it was about to be exposed, the Saw-Sound Dragon showed a wistful expression.
It hadn’t expected the Flight Tournament to have developed so much.
“Saw, saw.”
Then, it cried out, indicating that it would go and see it.
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded.
Then it looked at its Yu Beast Master, displaying an expression that said, “Praise me, praise me!”
Qiao Sang responded with her eyes: Well done!
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao understood and happily led the way.
“Wait.” Qiao Sang suddenly spoke.
Xiao Xunbao quickly braked.
The Saw-Sound Dragon turned its gaze.
“It might not be appropriate for you to go like this.” Qiao Sang looked at the Saw-Sound Dragon and asked, “Can you shrink?”
“Saw, saw.”
The Saw-Sound Dragon was also a well-traveled Pet and understood what the human in front of it meant by “not appropriate.” It nodded, and then its body gradually shrank until it was about 60 centimeters in size.
Such an easy-to-communicate King-level Pet, it seemed impossible for it to suddenly fight with Ya Bao and them, affecting her and causing her brain domain to break through… A thought flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind, and she looked at Xiao Xunbao: “Let’s just move directly.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao nodded, its eyes glowing blue.
The next second, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao disappeared from their original spot.
…
Two minutes later.
Flight Tournament.
Above B Zone.
Qiao Sang appeared out of thin air, sitting on Ya Bao’s back.
Fang Lan was caught off guard and startled, then she leaned closer and cautiously asked:
“Isn’t this one of yours a Ghost-type Pet? How can it use Superpower…”
Her voice abruptly stopped as her gaze fell upon the Pet that had just appeared beside them, and she shrieked:
“How did you bring the Saw-Sound Dragon here?!”
Qiao Sang coughed and said:
“It was just wandering aimlessly, and when we started talking, I saw it was interested in the Flight Tournament, so I brought it over.”
Fang Lan: “!!!”
Just because it was interested in the Flight Tournament, you brought a King-level Dragon-type Pet Beast here?!
Fang Lan took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and asked:
“Where’s its Yu Beast Master?”
Qiao Sang answered truthfully: “I don’t know.”
“You didn’t even tell its Yu Beast Master and just abducted the Saw-Sound Dragon?!” Fang Lan’s eyes widened, unable to control her expression, showing clear shock and bewilderment.
“Abducted” is a bit harsh… Qiao Sang said earnestly: “Don’t you know? Its Yu Beast Master isn’t nearby. Don’t worry, the Saw-Sound Dragon is already a King-level Pet; it has the ability and right to act on its own. Its wandering outside means its Yu Beast Master trusts it to be out alone.”
“Saw, saw.”
The Saw-Sound Dragon heard the conversation, nodded, and expressed agreement.
Fang Lan saw the Saw-Sound Dragon’s actions, and for a moment, her expression became extremely complex.
To convince the Saw-Sound Dragon and bring it over in such a short time, this ability, this courage, and that Pet which was clearly Ghost-type but could use Superpower System skills… If she really participated in this Regional Competition smoothly, she might achieve remarkable results on her first try…
The Flying Obstacle Course event on the giant virtual screen was still being broadcast live.
After about three minutes, the leading contestant finally passed the spot where the Saw-Sound Dragon had been.
The competition proceeded in an orderly manner.
All the spectators and contestants were unaware that a King-level Dragon-type Pet Beast had just been on the track.
“Well done.” The person in charge’s voice rang out through the walkie-talkie.
“This is my job,” Qiao Sang said.
The person in charge’s tone was amused: “I’ll give you a good review on your task evaluation.”
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “Then can I just work for this one day?”
The other end of the walkie-talkie went silent.
“I’m just kidding,” Qiao Sang quickly said.
“I know, keep up the good work.” The person in charge’s voice finally rang out again.
Time passed bit by bit.
The Saw-Sound Dragon remained quietly watching the competition.
Given that she still had tasks to do in the afternoon, Qiao Sang didn’t go back and simply had lunch nearby.
It wasn’t until evening that the day’s competition officially ended.
After saying goodbye to Fang Lan, Qiao Sang was about to climb onto Ya Bao’s back but remembered something at that moment. She stopped, looked at Ya Bao, and knowingly asked:
“You’ve been training all day, haven’t you?”
“Ya.”
Ya Bao nodded.
“Then you must be very tired,” Qiao Sang said with concern in her voice.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao shook its head.
Not tired. It had drunk a lot of energy recovery potions and recovered very well. Lu Bao even gave it a Healing Light in the middle.
Qiao Sang sighed:
“Don’t try to be brave. After a day of training with your doppelganger, even if you drink energy recovery potions and your energy recovers, your mental state will still be fatigued.”
“Ya ya.”
Ya Bao was stunned for a moment.
Didn’t it just say that Lu Bao gave it a Healing Light? Did its Yu Beast Master not hear?
Just as it was about to explain again, Qiao Sang said softly:
“You’ve trained all day, so rest well first. Go back and continue training after you’ve fully recovered.”
She paused, then added: “Otherwise, I’ll worry.”
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao looked at its Yu Beast Master’s gentle eyes, felt a rush of emotion, and nodded.
Just rest, it could do that!
Immediately, its body slowly shrank.
Done! Qiao Sang secretly praised herself in her heart, then looked at the Saw-Sound Dragon, which hadn’t left yet, and asked with hesitation:
“My Pet is too tired. I wonder if you could send me back to the Yu Beast Center?”
“Saw, saw.”
The Saw-Sound Dragon thought that the human in front of it had brought it here and watched the competition together, so it nodded without much thought, indicating it could.
As expected, it was an easy-going Pet! Qiao Sang’s heart swelled with joy, and she said gratefully: “Then thank you.”
“Saw, saw.”
The Saw-Sound Dragon cried out, its body slowly growing larger. Then, it curled its tail forward, brought Qiao Sang onto its back, and flapped its wings forcefully, Flying towards the direction of the Yu Beast Center.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “I haven’t even set the navigation yet, and you already know the way?”
“Saw, saw.”
The Saw-Sound Dragon cried out as it Flew.
“Ya ya.”
Ya Bao translated in due course.
It said its Yu Beast Master was at the Yu Beast Center. (End of Chapter)
