Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 934: Yebird (two in one)

Qiao Sang closed her eyes, preparing for another Sympathetic Positioning with Xiao Xunbao.

However, just then, Yabao’s ears twitched, and it suddenly leaped upwards, stopping in mid-air.

“Bang!”

The next second, three striking Flame Claws fiercely appeared at the location where it had been.

Qiao Sang heard the commotion, broke the connection, and opened her eyes.

She saw a gigantic bird-type Pet, about six meters in size, mostly crimson all over, with red and white feathers on its head, a pair of magnificent crimson wings, and black claws with three toes, staring directly at them from high in the sky.

Yan Ye Bird, a General-level Pet with Fire-type and Flying-type dual attributes, prefers to stay in places where the temperature is incredibly high even at night, and it is said that where it is, it never rains year-round… Qiao Sang’s mind recalled the information about the Pet in front of her, and she spoke:

“Ya Bao!”

“Ya!”

Yabao was already poised and ready.

It opened its mouth, and a scorching flame immediately shot towards the Yan Ye Bird’s location.

“Flame Night!”

The Yan Ye Bird did not dodge, allowing the thick, rotating flame to strike its body.

The imagined scene of the flame exploding did not happen; the Yan Ye Bird flapped its wings forcefully, and the flames splashed out like sparks.

Looking at the Yan Ye Bird again, its expression was disdainful, and it was completely unharmed.

“Ya Ya…”

Yabao gnashed its teeth secretly.

It felt as if the other party’s expression was mocking its current unsightly appearance.

Flash Fire… It seems its level isn’t low… Qiao Sang immediately understood why the Yan Ye Bird wasn’t afraid of the flame just now and immediately prepared to switch to another Pet for the battle.

As thoughts flickered, the Yan Ye Bird flapped its wings, and streams of flames immediately assailed them like a rain of bullets!

The density was such that Yabao, with its large size, simply couldn’t dodge.

“Control!” Qiao Sang gave the command.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao teleported in front of Big Brother Yabao, its eyes glowing blue.

Instantly, all the incoming flames were controlled by an invisible force, suspended in the air.

“Flame Night…”

Only then did the Yan Ye Bird notice the little one.

Its gaze turned to Xiao Xunbao, and its expression became slightly serious.

The next second, all the flames in the air changed direction and attacked the Yan Ye Bird.

“Flame Night!”

Seeing this, the Yan Ye Bird directly retracted its wings, turning into a streak of fire and charging into the rain of fire bullets, heading straight for Xiao Xunbao!

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao instinctively teleported to a higher position, dodging the attack.

Behind Xiao Xunbao was Yabao.

If Yabao wasn’t carrying anyone, or only carried her, this direct charge could be met head-on, but now Yabao’s back carried not only herself but also Xu Gehong and a fragile Guo Ruiqi who could be severely injured with a slight mistake.

A close-range skill clash with a General-level Pet, she couldn’t guarantee that Guo Ruiqi would be fine.

“Dodge!” Qiao Sang said.

“Ya Ya…”

Yabao really wanted to meet it head-on, but hearing its Yu Beast Master’s words, it still teleported dozens of meters away.

The Yan Ye Bird controlled its body, changed direction, and the fire streak shot straight upwards like a blurred afterimage, continuing to attack Yabao’s location.

At the same time, a purple light flashed beside Yabao.

Guo Ruiqi only felt a blur before his eyes, his body was swept away by a force, and the sensation beneath his buttocks suddenly changed from soft to hard.

He looked forward and found that the one carrying him had changed from Flame Qilu to Steel Sword Falcon.

Looking to the side again, Senior Xu was also there.

Goodness, sometimes I feel like Steel Treasure being able to synchronize with my thoughts is pretty good; I just thought it was troublesome for Yabao to carry two people, and now it’s taken me away… Qiao Sang was first stunned, then inwardly delighted, her expression serious, and without delay, she issued a command:

“Explode!”

“Ya!”

Yabao showed an excited expression, opened its mouth, and an Exploding Flame Bullet, only the size of a fist, instantly condensed.

“Boom!”

Immediately after, it turned into a red-and-gold beam of light that shot straight out, directly hitting the Yan Ye Bird, which was less than two meters away.

“Flame Night!”

Amidst the earth-shattering destructive power, the Yan Ye Bird was sent flying backward.

Yabao’s eyes glowed blue, and it promptly teleported its Yu Beast Master out of the range of the violent air currents and flames.

Although Exploding Flame Bullet is also a Fire-type skill, its damage mainly comes from the continuously condensed and compressed explosive power, and Yabao has now mastered this move to the Profound Meaning level. Unless the Yan Ye Bird’s Flash Fire ability is A-grade, it will definitely be injured… Qiao Sang sat on Yabao’s back, watching the Yan Ye Bird flying backward, thinking while directly pinching out the flame that had accidentally ignited on her sleeve.

Sure enough, after the Yan Ye Bird screamed and flew backward, it crashed heavily to the ground, closing its eyes and fainting.

“Ya Ya!”

Yabao let out a loud cry, feeling relieved.

Steel Treasure flapped its wings and flew to Yabao’s side.

“You did great just now.” Qiao Sang turned her head and praised.

“Steel Sword.” Steel Treasure showed an expression of “It’s nothing.”

Guo Ruiqi held it in for a long time, then spoke: “Senior Qiao, I always have a feeling that this place is very unusual…”

Meaning he wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

You can feel it, how could I not… Didn’t the Yan Ye Bird interrupt me when I wanted to leave just now… Qiao Sang said calmly:

“We still need to leave here as soon as possible.”

Guo Ruiqi nodded repeatedly; that was exactly what he meant!

“Xiao Xun…” Qiao Sang looked up in the direction of Xiao Xunbao, just about to ask it to come over and continue the unfinished Sympathetic Positioning.

But as she looked up at the high sky, her face changed dramatically, and her voice cut off abruptly.

She saw red lights suddenly rushing down from all over the high sky.

If one looked closely, one could still recognize their outlines as being individual Yan Ye Birds!

Holy cow, there are so many Yan Ye Birds?!

Qiao Sang’s pupils constricted.

Honestly, the two King-level Pets she encountered earlier didn’t give her such a strong visual impact.

The sky was filled with Yan Ye Birds rushing down, looking to be about a hundred of them!

One General-level Pet is nothing, but a hundred General-level Pets is terrifying!

Guo Ruiqi looked at Qiao Sang, stunned. He rarely saw Senior Qiao with such an unsettled expression, so he followed suit and turned to look.

When he saw the scene in the high sky, Guo Ruiqi’s face instantly turned pale.

His lips began to tremble, his pupils shook violently, and intense fear enveloped him as he unconsciously mumbled the name that gave him a sense of security:

“Senior, Senior Qiao…”

Mi Jiala had already looked up, her expression grave as she gazed upward.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao sensed the unusualness behind it, and with a stiff body, slowly turned its head.

Just as it turned its head, a flame came from above, diagonally down from the left and right, attacking in a pincer movement.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao jolted, relying on its many escape experiences, almost instinctively its eyes glowed blue, and it teleported to dodge.

“Bang!”

Two scorching flames collided, emitting a violent sound.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, its shoulder was poked twice.

Xiao Xunbao turned its head and saw a Yan Ye Bird close by.

“Xiao Xunbao!!!”

When Qiao Sang recovered from the shock and was about to tell Xiao Xunbao to move, she saw Xiao Xunbao in close contact with the Yan Ye Bird, and the surrounding Yan Ye Birds stopping their Flame Jet towards it.

It’s too late to use Teleport or Space Movement… Almost instinctively, Qiao Sang waved her hand, preparing to recall Xiao Xunbao into the yu beast codex.

But it was still too late; just as Xiao Xunbao shrieked in fright, one of the flames accurately struck Xiao Xunbao’s body.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao screamed and fell from the sky.

The Yan Ye Bird did not let it go. Dozens of surrounding Yan Ye Birds opened their mouths and simultaneously unleashed Flame Jet in the direction Xiao Xunbao was falling.

At the same time, Xiao Xunbao disappeared during its descent.

The Yan Ye Birds seemed to understand something and looked separately at the figures on Yabao and Steel Treasure.

I should have reacted sooner… Qiao Sang felt a little self-reproach.

If she had made the judgment even a second earlier, Xiao Xunbao wouldn’t have been attacked.

“You shouldn’t have put Ghost Ring King into the yu beast codex.” Mi Jiala said in a deep voice from the side: “In this situation, the best way is to rely on Ghost Ring King’s Space Movement. A single Flame Jet wouldn’t make Ghost Ring King fall directly; maybe it could successfully use Space Movement before being caught in a pincer attack by flames.”

In battle, one often needs to be bolder to seize that sliver of hope; she felt that sometimes Qiao Sang was too cautious.

No sooner had she spoken than dozens of flames descended.

Yabao and Steel Treasure weaved through the flames to dodge.

You also said ‘maybe,’ so there’s still a risk of being focused on… Qiao Sang looked at her: “Doesn’t your Hidden Turtle Shield use Space Movement?”

Mi Jiala: “…”

Qiao Sang looked at the Yan Ye Birds covering all sides, her eyes gradually becoming sharper, and she said loudly:

“Ice Heaven Domain!”

“Ice Emperor!”

Lu Bao didn’t even have time to jump onto its Yu Beast Master’s head this time; instead, it directly activated its energy, and a visible chill emanated from its entire body.

The biting cold spread rapidly to the surroundings.

Everything it touched turned to ice.

However, there were simply too many Yan Ye Birds, and the spread was too wide; the Ice Heaven Domain could not cover all of them, leaving some Yan Ye Birds that were already at the edge and reacted quickly to retreat a distance, successfully escaping.

“Flame Night!”

“Flame Night!”

The few escaped Yan Ye Birds flapped their wings downwards forcefully, and gusts of Typhoon with scorching heat assailed downwards, attempting to help the frozen Yan Ye Birds melt the ice shells on their bodies.

“Ice Cone! Mars Rain!” Qiao Sang said.

Lu Bao’s Ice Heaven Domain consumes too much energy, and it had been used twice not long ago, so its energy hadn’t fully recovered. If it relied on itself alone, even if it threw one giant Ice Cone at each Yan Ye Bird, it would have to cast a hundred or so, and after this wave of attacks, its energy would probably be completely depleted. The attacks still need to be coordinated; not all Yan Ye Birds here have the Flash Fire ability like the previous one.

“Ice Emperor.”

Giant Ice Cones, like small icebergs, appeared one after another out of thin air.

“Ya!”

Yabao opened its mouth upwards.

A crimson Energy Ball containing terrifying energy quickly shot upwards.

The “Ice Cones” successfully smashed onto one frozen Yan Ye Bird after another.

However, as the Energy Ball ascended to high altitude, three powerful Flame Claws with fiery glows precisely slashed across its surface.

With a “bang,” the Energy Ball exploded.

The fire rain did not fall.

To the side, a Yan Ye Bird retracted its claws.

Qiao Sang suddenly realized a mistake; she seemed to have underestimated wild Pets too much.

Wild Pets don’t have systematic training or abundant resources for rapid growth, but their combat awareness is not low. This Yan Ye Bird that attacked the Energy Ball clearly knew not to let the Energy Ball be successfully cast…

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and turned to Xu Gehong:

“You’re not planning to do nothing at all, are you?”

Mi Jiala coughed and said:

“How could I.”

After speaking, she looked at the Sleepy Bird, which had shrunk and was hiding beside Ice Emperor Ram, and said:

“Go.”

The Sleepy Bird looked up at the few remaining active Yan Ye Birds, plucked up its courage, flapped its wings, and slowly grew in size as it flew upwards.

“Sleepy!”

“Yabao, we’re going too!” Qiao Sang said.

“Ya!”

Yabao let out a cry and teleported to the side of the Yan Ye Bird that had previously shattered the Energy Ball with its Flame Claw. It opened its mouth and quickly bit down hard on its wing.

Immediately after, flames erupted from its sharp teeth.

“Flame Night!”

The Yan Ye Bird cried out in pain.

Several nearby active Yan Ye Birds condensed energy, flapped their wings forcefully downwards, preparing a concentrated attack.

Just then, a whirlwind, as if containing sharp blades, swept towards them.

The Yan Ye Birds had no choice but to stop their attack and quickly dodge to the side.

In the instant of dodging, the Sleepy Bird spread its wings, its entire body and wings turning into a cyan blade, directly cutting through the blade whirlwind of its own combination skill, successfully striking one of the Yan Ye Birds.

“Flame Night!”

That Yan Ye Bird screamed and fell downwards.

The Yan Ye Bird bitten by Yabao, seeing this, endured the pain and turned its head, raising its other uninjured wing, which turned into a white blade, preparing to attack.

But just then, while Yabao was biting, a red-and-gold spherical energy condensed in its mouth and was shot out first.

With a loud “bang,” the Yan Ye Bird was sent flying backward directly amidst the violent shockwave and raging flames.

At this moment, Yabao had already teleported to a higher position.

It opened its mouth.

A terrifying crimson Energy Ball condensed again and shot upwards.

Several Yan Ye Birds tried to block, but were blocked by a whirlwind that seemed to contain blades.

With a “bang,” the Energy Ball exploded high up, and fire rain fell.

“Ice Emperor…”

Lu Bao breathed a sigh of relief, stopped the formation of giant Ice Cones, and slightly reduced the energy output for maintaining the Ice Heaven Domain.

It could feel its energy running low.

The sky was filled with falling fire rain.

Wherever it landed, explosions constantly sounded, and patches of flames burned incessantly.

One Yan Ye Bird after another fell downwards.

The crimson ground was pitted and gradually cracked.

Several Yan Ye Birds broke through their ice shells, and upon seeing the fire rain filling the sky, their spirits became even more invigorated, and their expressions grew more excited.

These few all have the Flash Fire ability… Qiao Sang quickly locked onto them and said:

“Steel Treasure.”

“Steel Sword.”

Previously, all the hatred had been drawn by Yabao, Lu Bao, and Sleepy Bird, so the few Yan Ye Birds that could move through the fire rain had not paid attention to Steel Treasure.

The purple-glowing blades, like streaks of purple afterimages, successfully launched sneak attacks from angles the Yan Ye Birds had not noticed.

Two that dodged at the first moment were successfully frozen for a second by Yabao’s blue-glowing eyes from above.

In that one second, hundreds of purple blades changed direction and swept across their bodies.

When the last Yan Ye Bird fell, Qiao Sang finally relaxed her held breath.

Good thing Lu Bao has Ice Heaven Domain, otherwise with so many Yan Ye Birds, we definitely wouldn’t have been able to handle them…

Then she thought of something, formed hand seals, and summoned Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Inside the yu beast codex, Xiao Xunbao had already recovered a little. It appeared outside, covering its face with its paws, looking as if it was too ashamed to face anyone.

It was too embarrassing; as a professional escape artist, it was actually the first to be attacked.

And it was seen by its little brother and future little brother.

How could it be the boss after this…
