Beast Taming Starts from Zero

After saying that, it picked up the phone that was on the coffee table.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then asked:

"What's going on, Dragon King?"

“It’s contacting the Rain Phoenix,” Michaela said.

"Contact Qi Yufeng?" Qiao Sang asked, her tone a mixture of surprise and delight.

"Does the Dragon King know Qi Yufeng?"

Michaela smiled and hummed in agreement: "Before I decided to come to Bird Island, the Dragon King mentioned to me that he had met Qi Yufeng at the Tenth Seat's gathering and they had exchanged contact information."

The surprise in Qiao Sang's tone completely turned into delight, and she said, "That's wonderful!"

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and hesitated again:
"But I remember it's been a long time since the Dragon King attended the gathering of the tenth seat. Will Qi Yufeng still remember the Dragon King?"

I don't know either... Michaela looked at the Dragon King, waiting for its answer.

"Grind."

The Dragon King gave him a "What are you talking about?" look and shouted arrogantly.

Who is it? The leader of the Little Dragon Clan, how could Qi Yufeng not remember it?

To verify what he said, King Long dialed the number, placed it on the coffee table, and deliberately pressed the speakerphone button.

Ya Bao and the others all looked over.

The phone rang, but I didn't answer it.

A short while later, a familiar female voice rang out:

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."

"Grind."

The Dragon King called out casually, indicating that Qi Yufeng was probably busy right now.

“Then we’ll contact you again later,” Michaela said.

"Grind it," the Dragon King called out, indicating that it was fine with anything.

Qiao Sang had no objection and began to have Xiao Xunbao take out some daily necessities from the ring.

Once everything that needed to be taken was taken out, the Dragon King dialed the phone again and pressed the speakerphone button.

A few dozen seconds later, the phone rang with that familiar female voice:

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."

The Dragon King frowned.

"How about we play again tonight?" Michaela suggested.

"Grind."

The Dragon King roared, indicating that it would try again.

After saying that, he dialed the number.

This time, the call was answered after only two beeps.

Finally, it's working... Qiao Sang and Ya Bao's eyes lit up.

The Dragon King's lips curled into a smile, and he was about to speak when an unusually irritable voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone:

"Pray for rain!"

"Pray for rain!"

"Pray for rain!"

Who do you think you are! You keep calling me! If you call again, I'll flood you, you believe me?!

Upon hearing this, Josan, Michaela, and Ya Bao all looked at the Dragon King with surprise.

...The Dragon King maintained his composure and called out:
"Grind."

He is the chieftain of the Little Grinding Dragon clan.

"Pray for rain!"

"Pray for rain!"

Qi Yufeng's tone remained irritable.

I don't know you! Leave me alone! Don't call me again!
After that, hang up the phone.

The room fell silent.

A few seconds later, Ya Bao looked at the Dragon King and called out:
"Ya?"

Didn't you say the rainbird would remember you? But why did it say it didn't recognize you and hang up on you?

Its expression was both puzzled and serious, and its tone contained no mockery; it was clear that it was simply asking a question.

The Dragon King's already stiff body instantly became even stiffer.

My dear tooth... Qiao Sang coughed, trying to smooth things over:
"Perhaps the gathering lasted too long, and Qi Yufeng has a bad memory, or perhaps she didn't make a note of it at the time and thought it was a scam number. I've mistaken many numbers for scam numbers before."

"Tooth."

Ya Bao gave him an "Oh, I see" look.

The Dragon King's expression improved slightly, and he tried to save face by calling out:
"Grind."

It has indeed not contacted Qi Yufeng since the gathering.

Michaela: "..."

“It’s alright if Qi Yufeng doesn’t remember the Dragon King. We have its number, so we can still find it,” Michaela said.

"Grind it!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King immediately bared his teeth and roared.

Then why did you make me call it?

"Didn't you say you knew it? Who knew Qi Yufeng didn't know you and even hung up on you!" Michaela responded with her eyes.

She did give the Dragon King some face, not saying it directly, but instead saying:
"I just realized that we could let Guilunsail locate Qiyufeng directly through her mobile phone number."

The Dragon King understood the meaning in his beast tamer's eyes. His body stiffened slightly, and he gave a cold snort out of pride, then dropped the subject.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang was initially delighted, but then hesitated and said:
"If you want Guilunsail to help you find Qiyufeng's location, you should give it points, right?"

Michaela glanced at her: "Spend your points when you should."

That's true, what are points for anyway? They're for getting stronger, right...? Qiao Sang glanced at Gang Bao and nodded.
“I understand, I will contact Guilunsell now.”

As he spoke, he took out his phone, found his chat with Guilun Saier, and sent a message:
Could you help me find the location of Qi Yufeng?

[Guild Wheel: Which Rain-Praying Phoenix?]

[This one is on Asuka Island.]

[Guild Wheel: Does it go online?]

[We should go, the Dragon King still has its phone number.]

[Guilun Sai'er: Give me Qi Yufeng's phone number.]

Qiao Sang immediately asked Dragon King for Qi Yufeng's phone number and sent it over.

A moment later, an address was sent.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to set his location, a message appeared at the top of his phone:

At 20:07 PM, 3 points were paid to Guilunsair to purchase information.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, pretending not to have seen it, and continued to locate the position.

"So, has Guilunsel found the location of Qiyufeng?" Michaela asked.

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement: "It's located 68 kilometers away from us."

“Where?” Michaela asked again.

Qiao Sang looked at the address displayed above and said:

"Valley of Soundbirds".

She paused for a moment, then added, "It just says 'Sound Bird Valley' on it, without specifying a particular address."

Michael pondered for a few seconds, his brow furrowing slightly, and said:
"If it's the Valley of Soundbirds, then we can't just go there."

Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Why?"

"Grind."

"Grind."

The Dragon King roared twice.

Because Soundbird Valley is the territory of the Soundbirds, this species hates it when others enter their territory without their permission. If someone goes there without permission, they will be attacked by all the bird pets in Soundbird Valley. They have a very bad temper.

"You dare call someone bad-tempered...?" Michaela thought to himself, then nodded.
"Yes."

She didn't translate what the Dragon King said; she knew that with the current bond between Qiao Sang and Gang Bao, they could understand what their pet was saying without translation.

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then said:

"With Penjami and Dragon King around, the oppressive aura should deter the Soundbird from attacking us."

She remembered that the Sound-Sound Birds were fairly intelligent; as long as their pets were intelligent enough, they wouldn't attack pets much stronger than themselves. Michaela sat on the large sofa, looked at her, and said, "Do you know why Flying Bird Island, though the territory of the Rain-Praying Phoenix, has a specially designated area for the Sound-Sound Birds?"

Qiao Sang guessed:
"Is it possible that the Rain-Praying Phoenix and the Sound-Master Bird are of the same species?"

Otherwise, why would Qi Yufeng be located in Yin Niao Valley?

Michaela paused for a moment; this was an answer she hadn't expected.

“A Sound Spirit has appeared among the flock of Sound Master Birds,” Michaela said. “The Sound Spirit is an Emperor-level pet. It can claim an island as its own territory, but the location of Sound Bird Valley on Flying Bird Island is particularly suitable for the flock of Sound Master Birds to live in, so the Sound Spirit asked Qi Yufeng for it.”

"It is said that Yin Panling defeated Qi Yufeng in a battle, so Qi Yufeng gave Yin Bird Valley to Yin Panling."

This means that Yinpanling is more powerful than Qiyufeng.

Qiao Sang understood, but asked in confusion, "Isn't Penjami more powerful than Yinpanling?"

"Puff."

Penjami paused for a moment, then called out.

It is certainly more powerful than Yinpanling.

“Then what do we have to be afraid of?” Qiao Sang said.

“You still don’t understand what I mean.” Michaela stood up, went to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of drink, and said, “The Soundbird Valley was personally assigned to the Soundbird Spirits by Qi Yufeng, and the rules in this valley were also tacitly approved by Qi Yufeng.”

"Right now, Qi Yufeng is in Yin Niao Valley. If we enter without following the rules it recognizes, do you think Qi Yufeng will still have a proper conversation with us?"

Qiao Sang recalled the phone call from the Dragon King not long ago and sighed, "No."

“So we can’t just go there,” Michaela said, sitting back down on the sofa.

Qiao Sang frowned and said:
"How do we contact Qi Yufeng?"

Although Teacher Michaela is definitely stronger than Qi Yufeng, this is Qi Yufeng's territory, and the purpose of coming here is for Steel Treasure's resources. We can't ask for help and then use force against others.

As Michaela sipped his drink, he spoke slowly and deliberately:

“We’ll follow the rules of Soundbird Valley and submit our application to enter the valley first.”

"How do I submit it?" Qiao Sang asked quickly.

“Just send a Sound-Sounding Bird inside to deliver the message,” Michaela said.

Without hesitation, Qiao Sang immediately picked up his phone and prepared to post a task to find the Sound-Master Bird.

Michaela saw what she was about to do and stopped her, saying, "There's no need to issue a mission. The Soundbird will appear in places with beautiful sounds. It's best to look for it near Soundbird Valley so that you can find out as soon as possible whether your application has been approved."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang picked up her phone, turned on the location of Yin Niao Valley, and held it in front of Xiao Xunbao, saying:
"Then I'll go over now."

Michaela sipped her drink and nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Looking around~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Little Treasure Hunter's eyes lit up with blue light, and he disappeared from the spot with his Beastmaster and Ya Bao.

Two minutes later, a group of figures appeared out of thin air on a grassy area a few hundred meters away from Yin Niao Valley.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Lala looked around at her surroundings, her eyes lit up, and she floated up with the wind.

"Gis!"

Giss Egg's eyes lit up as well, and he happily rolled around on the grass.

However, halfway through its roll, it keenly sensed something, stopped, and looked in a certain direction.

On the grass not far away, a bird-like pet was staring intently at him.

Gisdan suddenly remembered the phrase "many flying-type pets like to eat eggs".

"Gis!"

It suddenly shrieked and ran towards where Josang was.

He jumped onto the backpack, trying to crawl inside.

Qiao Sang remained as steady as a mountain, not even swaying his feet, as if he hadn't felt the sudden increase in weight. He turned to Lu Bao and said:

"Lu Bao, please."

"Hyotei".

Lu Bao, carrying the egg of the jewel, popped out of the backpack.

It had overheard the previous conversation and naturally knew what its beast tamer had asked for.

It cleared its throat and began to sing:
"Bingbing~ Bingbingbing~ Bingbingbingbing~"

“Giss…”

Gisdan's fear vanished, and he looked up at Lu Bao with an expression of ecstasy.

"Looking around~"

"Searching, searching, searching~"

"Search..."

Little Treasure couldn't help but hum along twice.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao immediately covered its mouth from the side.

Don't ruin the singing.

"Search..."

Little Treasure Hunter nodded.

Qingbao then removed its claws.

"Ice~ Ice~ Ice ice ice~ Ice~"

A mesmerizing voice, as alluring as a siren's, rippled through the air.

Before long, one bird pet after another appeared around.

They either show expressions of rapture, sway their bodies from side to side, dancing to the melody of the song, or sing along with the song.

Qiao Sang looked around and soon his gaze settled on a bird-like pet that was mostly white with a black musical note on its head.

The Sound-Master Bird...

Before the pet could even recognize it or speak, Steel Treasure flapped its wings and flew over to talk to the Sound Master Bird.

The power of bonds can be really good sometimes... Qiao Sang thought to himself.

About thirty seconds later, the Soundbird flew over with Steel Treasure.

Lu Bao's singing stopped.

The surrounding birds and pets flapped their wings and flew away.

"You've already discussed it with the Sound Bird?" Qiao Sang asked Gang Bao.

She actually overheard the conversation, but confirmed it in front of the Sound Bird.

"Steel Chieftain".

Steelbao nodded.

"Music Master".

The lynx glanced at the human in front of it and let out a cry.

Beast Taming Badge.

He also wanted the Beast Taming Badge... Qiao Sang took out the Beast Taming Badge and handed it over.

The Soundbird looked down and paused for a moment when it saw the color of the badge, then its eyes lit up.

When it looked at Qiao Sang again, its expression became very satisfied, and it chuckled and called out:
"Music master?"

Do you want to go in and contract a pet?
“No,” Qiao Sang shook her head.

The smile on the Soundbird's face vanished instantly, and its eyes began to scrutinize again.

At that moment, Gangbao's voice rang in my mind:

"Steel Chieftain".

Give it money.

Qiao Sang was taken aback; this was something Gangbao and Yinshi Niao hadn't discussed before.

She reacted in just 0.01 seconds, took out her wallet from her pocket, pulled out a few bills, and handed them over.

"Music master?"

Upon seeing this, the Sound-Master Bird let out a cry full of righteous indignation.

What are you doing?
"I hope you can help me apply; I want to enter the Soundbird Valley," Qiao Sang said, while stuffing money into the Soundbird's claw.

The bird-like creature calmly grabbed the money and cried out:
"Music Master".

wait.

Having said that, it grabbed the money, flapped its wings, and flew towards the valley. (End of Chapter)
