Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 930: Qingfeng Nini (two in one)

A few wild Pets poked their heads out, looking at this scene with longing.

They were all familiar with the Light of Evolution.

Mi Jiala stood by, watching the wild Pets that appeared, and did not make a move.

She could tell that these wild Pets had no intention of interrupting the evolution.

Time passed minute by minute, but the white light never dissipated.

One could only see the white light gradually expanding, and the outline within it was changing at an extremely slow pace.

When Tooth Treasure and the others first evolved from Beginner to Intermediate, it wasn’t this slow… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but show a hint of worry.

Could it be that the evolution of legendary Pets is different from that of ordinary Pets?

“I heard that legendary Pets awaken some memories every time they evolve. Do you think Qingqingni’s slow evolution is because she’s awakening memories?” Mi Jiala walked over, looking at the Light of Evolution and speaking as if guessing.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang was first startled, then relaxed slightly.

That’s right, she had seen it in a book she borrowed from the Yu Liandun University library, which stated that some uniquely blessed Pets would inherit partial memories at each stage of evolution to guide them better into higher realms.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang nodded and said, “It should be.”

Besides this, it should also be related to that super large demon spirit heart… Mi Jiala didn’t say this aloud, and instead said:

“Once Qingqingni successfully evolves, you rest tonight, and I’ll stand guard.”

Qingqingni’s evolution made her realize that they had stayed in the Mystic Realm long enough. It was time to finish the mission early and go out to find someone from the Imperial Beast Academy to re-examine Qingqingni’s evolved form and refine new Energy Pills.

With you always sending out Sleepy Bird, I wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly even if I wanted to… Qiao Sang refused, “No need, I’m already used to staying up late.”

“You haven’t rested much for over forty days, don’t you want to get a good night’s sleep?” Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang slowly said, “Compared to sleeping, I prefer safety.”

Mi Jiala fell silent.

She suddenly felt that her frequency of taking action might be too low, to the Point that her student felt so insecure about her strength.

However, it was also because Qiao Sang could basically resolve crises on her own whenever she encountered them, leaving her with few opportunities to act.

“Dong Xing!”

As thoughts flickered, Dong Xing Rat suddenly burrowed out of the ground, showing an anxious expression, and let out a cry.

Qiao Sang immediately became alert.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao adopted a serious expression, staring at the ground ahead.

“I’ll do it!” Mi Jiala stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, “Hidden Turtle Shield.”

After a brief silence, a terrifying and invisible force suddenly descended, completely pulverizing the ground behind Dong Xing Rat!

All the wild Pets that had poked their heads out fled in fright.

“Bang bang bang!”

The sound of the ground collapsing echoed, and a cat-like Pet about 50 centimeters in size, mostly earthy yellow, screamed as it was shaken out from underground by the shockwave, Flying high into the air.

Immediately after, it fell from the sky like a meteor, closing its eyes and fainting.

“Dong Xing…”

Dong Xing Rat looked at the fallen Pet and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then it remembered something, gave a thumbs-up to Mi Jiala, who looked like she was thinking “Who am I, what am I doing,” and burrowed back underground.

Ground Sand Cat, a Beginner Ground-type Pet, Dong Xing Rat’s natural enemy… Information about the fallen Pet appeared in Qiao Sang’s mind, and she silently glanced at Xu Gehong beside her.

The scene fell into a strange silence for a moment.

“What happened?” A startled voice broke the silence.

Guo Ruiqi emerged from his sleeping bag, looking around vigilantly at the scene before him.

“Nothing, just dealt with a wild Pet,” Qiao Sang explained.

Mi Jiala’s body was still slightly stiff, and she didn’t speak.

These words made the vigilant Guo Ruiqi relax.

Soon, he saw the dazzling white light.

Guo Ruiqi was first stunned, then asked:

“Did a Pet evolve?”

The dazzling white light enveloped the entire Pet’s figure, making it impossible for him to see what kind of Pet it was.

Qiao Sang hummed in response.

“What kind of Pet is it?” Guo Ruiqi asked with interest.

He had seen wild Pets evolve before during his many days in the Mystic Realm, but not often.

“Qingqingni,” Qiao Sang said.

Who?

Who did you say?

Qingqingni evolved?!

Guo Ruiqi was astonished, excited, and thrilled, his expression changing multiple times within a few short seconds.

He then thought of something, eagerly burrowed into his sleeping bag, fumbling to take out his phone, turning it on and opening the camera function, aiming it at the Light of Evolution.

Qingqingni’s evolution!

He was actually fortunate enough to witness Qingqingni’s evolution!

Guo Ruiqi’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly with excitement.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she said:

“Send it to me after you’re done filming.”

“Okay!” Guo Ruiqi readily agreed.

After about ten seconds, the white light gradually dissipated.

Qiao Sang thought, finally, the evolution is over…

Mi Jiala looked over.

Guo Ruiqi’s breathing suddenly quickened, and his heart pounded.

The surrounding wind suddenly picked up around the gradually disappearing white light.

Although the night was cold and the wind was biting, this sudden gust of wind was strangely warm.

The white light dissipated.

A Pet appeared before them, about forty centimeters in size, entirely snow-white, wearing a hat like white clouds, with two pointed greenish antennae emerging from the sides, a white cloud-like collar around its neck, a pair of pure green eyes, and its lower body covered by fluffy white clouds.

Clear Wind Niuniu, Qingqingni’s evolved form… As Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao’s new form, an untimely thought suddenly popped into her head:

With both a hat and a collar, wouldn’t it be hot…

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao happily let out a cry, and the surrounding wind expanded and dispersed like an airflow.

The air around them seemed to clear up quite a bit at this moment.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao floated around Qingbao, happy for it.

Lu Bao, whose head had been sticking out of the backpack, seeing Qingbao successfully evolve, safely burrowed its head back into the backpack.

“Clear Wind Niuniu…” Guo Ruiqi looked at the Pet before him and murmured excitedly.

He instantly felt that everything he had encountered in the Mystic Realm during this period seemed worthwhile.

“Qingqing~”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Qingbao and Xiao Xunbao floated happily in the air.

“Qingqing?”

Suddenly, Qingbao stopped, staring at Xiao Xunbao and simply cried out, indicating, “I evolved, why are you so happy?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao was first stunned, then cried out with a sincere expression, indicating, “We are companions, of course it’s happy that you evolved.”

“Qingqing~”

Qingbao smiled happily, and the wind lifted with it.

Then, it floated in front of its Yu Beast Master, raised its head, and its pure eyes just stared.

Qiao Sang seemed to understand its meaning, reached out and touched the white cloud on its head, feeling only softness in her palm.

“Congratulations on evolving,” she said softly.

“Qingqing~”

Qingbao’s eyes curved into crescent moons.

“Qingbao has successfully evolved. You all continue to sleep, I’ll stand guard,” Qiao Sang turned and said.

“Having seen Qingqingni evolve with our own eyes, how could we possibly sleep!” Guo Ruiqi was too excited, and for the first time, he refuted Qiao Sang’s words.

Mi Jiala heard this, suddenly remembered her current identity, and nodded in agreement:

“We can’t sleep.”

Qiao Sang looked at Xu Gehong, remembering the skill she had just shown, and her opinion of her strength improved slightly.

She then thought of something else, looked at Qingbao, and asked:

“Are you sleepy?”

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao shook its head, full of energy.

Since everyone wasn’t sleepy, then… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then said to Xu Gehong:

“Then you stand guard for a bit, I’ll rest for ten minutes.”

What can you rest in ten minutes… Mi Jiala nodded and said, “Okay.”

Guo Ruiqi only thought that Senior Qiao was too agitated because Qingqingni had just evolved into Clear Wind Niuniu, and now needed to calm down.

He felt it himself and decided he also needed to calm down, so he sat down and said, “I’ll also rest for ten minutes…”

After speaking, he stared motionlessly at Qingbao.

At the same time, Qiao Sang closed her eyes, and her consciousness entered the yu beast codex.

The pages turned, quickly arriving at the one about Qingbao.

“Name: Clear Wind Niuniu”

“Attributes: Fairy-type, Flying”

“Level: Intermediate (5000 / 10000) +”

“Abilities: First Ability: Wind Transformation”

“Level: S (MAX), Status: (Masterful), Description: (Can transform into wind anytime, anywhere, at any stage, and go anywhere)”

“Second Ability: Charming Body”

“Level: A (21 / 10000), Status: (Extremely useful), Description: (When opposite-sex Pets use contact-type moves to attack a Pet with this ability, there is a 70% chance of them falling into a fascinated state)”

“Third Ability: Mischievous Heart”

“Level: A (377 / 10000), Status: (Extremely useful), Description: (Can use status moves first)”

“Fourth Ability: Pressure”

“Level: A (1 / 10000), Status: (Extremely useful), Description: (Will put Pressure on the opponent, making them feel an aura of dominance)”

“Fifth Ability: Fairy Aura”

“Level: S (MAX), Status: (Masterful), Description: (Pets with this ability will enhance the effect of Fairy-type skills cast by all Fairy-type Pets within a certain range)”

“Sixth Ability: Fairy Skin”

“Level: S (MAX), Status: (Masterful), Description: (Normal-type moves will become Fairy-type, and their power will be increased)”

“Skills: Fairy Wind (Beginner 1 / 100) +, Charm (Minor Accomplishment 1797 / 2000) +, Mist Field (Beginner 1 / 100) +, Favorable Wind (Great Accomplishment 3143 / 5000) +, Draining Kiss (Beginner 1 / 100) +, Instruct (Beginner 1 / 100) +, Dazzling Gleam (Beginner 1 / 100) +”

Pressure, Fairy Aura, Fairy Skin… This, this… Qiao Sang only felt her mind go “buzz,” and it was a blank.

Holy crap!

Three abilities, one A-grade, two SS-grade, is this really not an illusion?!

Qiao Sang was stunned. She had never imagined that a Pet’s evolution could directly awaken two SS-grade abilities! Even if this Pet was the legendary Qingqingni!

demon spirit heart! Is this the effect of the SSS-grade demon spirit heart?!

Also, just evolving to Intermediate level, it already awakened A-grade Pressure, how does that make Xiao Xunbao feel!

After the daze, Qiao Sang’s emotions became uncontrollably excited and thrilled.

Qingbao, being a legendary Pet, certainly had innate advantages in its talent, but to be able to directly awaken two SS-grade abilities at the Intermediate stage, the SSS-grade demon spirit heart given by Qingfengyun Ren must have contributed to this!

If only I had known that SSS-grade items had such miraculous effects! I should have focused on SSS-grade items long ago, not those S-grade items!

Calm down, calm down, it’s not that I don’t want them, it’s that I’ve never encountered them… S-grade items are actually quite good, I can’t let my standards get so high just because I coincidentally own an SSS-grade item… Qiao Sang took a deep breath, calmed her excited mood, and looked down.

After the excitement of one A-grade and two SS-grade abilities, Qiao Sang calmed down considerably when she saw the three additional skills.

Draining Kiss, a high-level Fairy-type skill, uses a kiss to absorb the opponent’s energy to restore its own energy.

Instruct, a high-level Fairy-type skill, stimulates one’s own brain by waving a finger, randomly using one of the many moves it has learned.

Dazzling Gleam, an intermediate Fairy-type skill, causes mental damage to the opponent through a charming cry, causing pain and confusion.

The three awakened skills are all Fairy-type skills, it seems that the Pet evolution items are very important… The Point for this level has already reached half of the Intermediate level… Qiao Sang stared at Qingbao’s data from beginning to end for a while, then opened her eyes, her consciousness returning to reality.

“Rested well?” Mi Jiala asked.

“That’s right.” Qiao Sang stood up and said, “Since everyone doesn’t want to sleep, let’s continue moving.”

Alright, Qingqingni has evolved now, it’s better to get out early… Mi Jiala nodded and said, “I have no problem.”

Guo Ruiqi withdrew his gaze from Qingbao and said energetically:

“I have no problem either.”

Qingqingni’s evolution had already made him completely awake.

After a simple收拾, they took out the item to confirm the direction, and the three walked towards the distant dense forest.

The night was deep, Qiao Sang held Tooth Treasure, using its flame wings to illuminate the path around them.

After finding a spot and placing the leaf stone fragments, the three hid among the nearby vegetation, concealing themselves.

“Qingqing~”

Qingbao transformed into wind and came to the leaf stone fragments, swirling the energy within them and dispersing it around.

A silence.

Qiao Sang waited patiently.

After about five minutes, rustling sounds came from all around, and one by one, Pets resembling fruits, about twenty centimeters in size, with bodies alternating between purple and green, darted out from the layered tree canopies.

Before long, wild Pets attracted from afar also arrived one after another.

When these arriving Pets from afar saw the fruit-like Pets, they paused, stopped, and their eyes showed hesitation and a desire to retreat.

Qiao Sang saw the fruit Pets still continuously jumping down from the tree canopies, and then thought of something, her heart chilling.

She remembered a post on the forum that said there was an undeveloped area in the No. 53 Mystic Realm, full of Fruit Hair Monsters. They were extremely united, and if you offended one of them, all the Fruit Hair Monsters in the entire area would consider you an enemy.

Fruit Hair Monster, a Beginner dual-type Pet of Poison and Grass-type, can spray a terrifying liquid from its body that causes people to lose hair and Pets to shed fur. When they feel they are in danger and cannot win, they will adopt a ‘if I die, you die too’ mentality and spray out all the accumulated venom in their bodies, which is extremely terrifying… (End of this chapter)
