Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Watching the retreating figure of the Sound-Master Bird, Qiao Sang chuckled in his mind:
How do you know it wants money?

"Steel Chieftain".

Steel Treasure responded in his mind.

The TV shows and movies that Little Treasure Hunt showed it were all like this: if you wanted to ask someone for a favor, you had to give them money or something else. This was their territory, rich in resources, and the Musician Birds probably didn't lack things like tree fruits, so the only option was money.

If only Ya Bao were half as smart as you… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Steel Bao turned to look at Tooth Bao.

Ya Bao noticed Gang Bao's gaze, paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something, his expression became excited, and he shouted:
"Ya Ya!"

Do you want to fight me?

Steel Treasure: "..."

"Steel Chieftain".

Gangbao shook his head.

"Ya?"

Ya Bao looked puzzled.

So what do you see me doing?
"Steel Chieftain".

Steel Treasure called out.

I'm just thinking about when I can become as strong as you.

"Tooth."

Ya Bao immediately looked embarrassed and called out.

Actually, it's not that powerful.

"Steel Chieftain".

Steel Treasure called out in his mind.

Ya Bao is actually doing quite well as she is now.

So you're saying that Toothpuff can't possibly be half as smart as you... Qiao Sang blocked the connection with Steelpuff and silently complained to himself.

"Steel Chieftain".

No sooner had I finished complaining than Gangbao's voice echoed in my mind.

You've blocked me again.

The connection between bonds can be blocked unilaterally or together; Qiao Sang just blocked only his own.

I only blocked it for a short while and it was still discovered... Qiao Sang quickly reconnected with Gang Bao's connection, pretending that he had never blocked it.

"Search?"

Just then, Little Treasure Hunter floated over and called out, indicating how long we should wait.

“It should be soon,” Jossan said.

According to Teacher Michaela, if you apply to enter the Valley of Soundbirds outside the Valley, they will come out and tell you whether your application has been approved or not.

"Search?"

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter immediately seemed to realize something and called out.

Can I start a live stream after I go in?

Upon hearing the question, Qiao Sang first searched online and found many videos about the interior of Yin Niao Valley before answering:

"can."

"Looking around~"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao immediately took out his phone and started a live stream.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang casually said:
"If you want to be a referee in a major competition, it's not enough to just increase your profile; you also need to raise your referee level."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter showed a smug expression and barked, indicating that it knew.

After saying that, he took off the ring, pulled out his referee's badge from it, and proudly waved it in his paw.

Qiao Sang looked over in that direction.

The capital "D" is clearly visible above.

"You're already a D-level referee?" Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao in shock.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure puffed out his chest proudly and nodded.

"How did you level up two levels at once?" Qiao Sang asked.

If she remembered correctly, Little Treasure Hunter was only an F-level referee before.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter called out as he put the referee's badge back into the ring.

It didn't know either; it just passed the test casually.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"I remember that to become a D-level referee, in addition to passing the corresponding assessment, you also have to be responsible for a certain number of matches and make no mistakes in your rulings. When did you referee a match?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure's lips curled into a smile, and he called out.

While you're sleeping at night, many pets are fighting instead of sleeping, so it acts as the referee.

Qiao Sang's expression became complicated.

She thought that Little Treasure Hunt had been training diligently every day because of Steel Treasure and Bonefire King, but she didn't expect it to go out as a referee in the middle of the night. It seems that the idea of ​​becoming a referee in a large competition is quite important to it.

Just then, a white light rushed towards them.

Qiao Sang had amazing eyesight. Although the white light was moving very fast, it seemed to her as if it had been slowed down. She could clearly see that the bird that had left earlier was flying towards her.

"Music Master".

The lynx landed in front of us, chirped once to indicate that our application was approved, and told us to go in, but to remember that we could only stay for a maximum of one week.

The application was approved so quickly... Qiao Sang thought of something, picked up his phone, and started contacting Teacher Michaela.

"Music master?"

The bird chirped, indicating that the application had been approved. Aren't you going in?
“I’ll call someone else over,” Qiao Sang said.

"Music Master".

The Sound-Bird gave a serious look and cried out.

You are the only one whose application has been approved; no one else can be added.

As Qiao Sang typed, he said:
"Then I'll wait for the other person to come and apply, and we'll go in together."

"Music Master".

The Sound-Bird looked displeased and squawked, indicating that it wasn't waiting for the other bird and was leaving if the other bird didn't come in with it.
Huh? You're coming in with me? Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment, then said:
"No need to wait for me, I can go in by myself."

"Music Master".

"Music Master".

The Soundbird chirped impatiently twice, indicating that if you want to enter our Soundbird Valley, you must be led in by a Soundbird from inside the valley. I helped you with the application, so of course I have to lead the way.

It means that you can't get in without it leading the way.

Qiao Sang understood. After sending the message, she skillfully took out her wallet, took out a few bills, and handed them over.
"Could you wait a moment? The other person is my teacher, and I'd like to wait until her application is approved before we go in together."

When the bird saw the money, its expression softened.

However, the next second, it saw the phone that Little Treasure Hunter was holding up, seemed to understand something, flapped its wings, showed an angry expression, and cried out:
"Music Master!"

What do you take me for! If you don't go in now, then don't go in at all!
After saying that, it flapped its wings and turned to leave.

"Okay, okay, I'll go in now!" Qiao Sang quickly shouted upon seeing this.

The bird stopped what it was doing, turned its head and gave a "hurry up and leave" look.

[Teacher, the plan has changed. I'll go into Soundbird Valley first. Please contact me after you're inside.]

Qiao Sang quickly finished sending the message, put away his phone, and followed the Sound Master Bird with Ya Bao and the others.

Half a minute later, Michael, Penjami, and the Dragon King appeared out of thin air.

The grassland was now deserted, with only a few wild animals leisurely resting there.

"Puff."

Penjami called out, indicating that we were late.

For Penjami, a distance of over sixty kilometers is actually a matter of spatial movement and doesn't take that long. But coincidentally, just as she was about to set off, Jiu Bugu called.

"Grind."

The Dragon King let out a nonchalant shout, indicating that catching up with us would be a piece of cake.

After saying that, it flapped its wings and was about to fly towards the direction of the Soundbird Valley.

“Wait,” Michaela stopped her, “Let’s apply first.”

The Dragon King stopped what he was doing, a troublesome expression on his face. Michaela took out his phone, searched for photos of the Sound-Master Bird clan, placed them in front of Penjami, and said:
"Find a pet that looks like this."

"Puff."

Penjami cried out, then disappeared from the spot and reappeared hundreds of meters above the ground.

It scanned the area below and its gaze quickly and accurately landed on a soothing bird a kilometer away.

Penjami raised her claws.

The next second, a harpy that was eating tree fruit a kilometer away appeared out of thin air in Penjami's claws.

The Sound-Master Bird was startled at first, then realized that it had been grabbed by something and was about to struggle.

But the moment I looked up, I saw a pet I had never seen before.

Penjami glanced at it indifferently.

"Music master..."

A sudden, intense fear gripped the bird, causing it to tremble violently. It let itself be held, unable to muster any will to struggle.

Penjami teleported back to the ground.

“I want to go into the Valley of the Soundbirds,” Michaela said.

The Sound-Master Bird trembled all over.

"Grind."

Dragon King glanced at Penjami.

Look at you, you've scared this little guy so much.

Penjami glanced at the trembling Soundbird and released its claws.

The lyrebird steadied itself, its body no longer trembling so violently, but it dared not fly away.

“I want to enter the Valley of the Soundbirds,” Michaela repeated his earlier words.

"Sound, Sound Master!"

The Sound-Master Bird nodded vigorously, skipping even the basic procedure of checking the Beast Taming Badge, and simply cried out, indicating that it would apply right away.

Having said that, it eagerly flapped its wings and turned to leave.

……

at the same time.

Inside the Sound Bird Valley.

The soothing bird led the way.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao followed behind.

In the woods, many pheasants perched on the trees and looked over. When they saw the pheasant leading the way, they went back to their own business and stopped staring.

"Music Master".

"Music Master".

After walking for a few minutes, the Soundbird suddenly stopped, pointed ahead with its wing, and cried out, indicating that it would take them this far and that they would have to walk the rest of the way on their own. It also warned them that they could only stay here for a maximum of one week, and that they had to leave Soundbird Valley when the time was up.

"Understood," Qiao Sang said.

The Sound-Master Bird glanced at Little Treasure Hunter with a hint of displeasure in its eyes before flapping its wings and leaving.

"Search?"

Little Treasure Hunter looked puzzled and called out.

Does the sycamore bird dislike itself?
"Qingqing."

Qingbao called out without thinking.

It doesn't even know you, so why would it dislike you? Whether it likes or dislikes you depends on whether it knows you.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter thought it made sense and called out.

It might have misread it.

After saying that, he continued to happily interact with the viewers in the live stream.

Josan took out his phone and sent a message to Teacher Michaela:
Teacher, have you applied?

[Teacher Michaela: I've already applied, but the Soundbird hasn't returned yet.]

Okay, I'll wait for you here.

Qiao Sang added his own positioning.

After waiting for ten minutes, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Michaela:

I reckon the Sound-Master Bird I found before won't be coming back. I'll find a new one and apply for it. You should try finding a Rain-Praying Phoenix yourself first.

Hmm? Why didn't the Sound-Master Bird we found before come back? Although Qiao Sang had some doubts, she didn't ask. She replied "Okay," then found the chat interface with Gui Lunsai'er, opened the location of Qi Yu Feng, placed it in front of Little Treasure Hunter, and said:

"Let's go here."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and quickly added:
"Don't go directly to this location if you are several hundred meters away."

Praying Phoenix, a flying-type Emperor-level pet beast. From my previous conversation with the Dragon King, I could tell that this Praying Phoenix probably has a bad temper.

If Qi Yufeng were still in this position, it would be like positioning itself directly in front of it. If Qi Yufeng got angry, it wouldn't be able to handle it.

After all, Teacher Michaela is not around right now, and his strongest pet, Fangbao, is only at the Royal level, definitely no match for Qiyufeng.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter called out, indicating that he understood.

It looked at the location, its eyes glowing blue.

About twenty seconds later, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao disappeared from the spot.

On a towering tree with gnarled branches, a group of figures appeared out of thin air.

The birds that had been perched in the tree were startled and scattered, flapping their wings.

Qiao Sang looked around, and when her gaze fell on a figure a few hundred meters away, her pupils narrowed.

We've found Qi Yufeng!

It is about one meter tall, with its body mostly ice blue, black feathers on its belly, curved beak, a raindrop-like feather standing upright on its head, small slit-like eyes, two stripes on its tail, and tiny shrinking bracelets on its paws. The pet is looking at itself from left to right, about two meters away, as if it were a mirror made of ice. It is admiring it with a touch of sadness, and sighs from time to time.

Exactly the same as the photos circulating online, it's Qi Yufeng!
Surprisingly, it was still in the position given by the standard.

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao followed his master's gaze, his face lighting up with excitement. He barked, as if to say, "Is this the guy we're looking for?"

Qiao Sang was startled and quickly covered Ya Bao's mouth, whispering a warning:

"Keep your voice down."

"tooth……"

Ya Bao nodded.

Logically speaking, all Emperor-level pets, regardless of their attributes, should have keen senses and be able to hear everything happening within a few hundred meters.

But Qi Yufeng seemed not to hear the commotion, and continued to gaze sadly at herself in the mirror made of ice.

In this situation, either Qi Yufeng heard the noise but didn't care, or it was too immersed in its own world and automatically blocked out the surrounding noise.

The sun on Yantian Star is scorching, but the ice mirror, exposed to the sunlight, exudes a chill and shows no signs of melting.

"Ya?"

Ya Bao remembered his beast tamer's words and called out in a low voice.

Aren't you going to go find it?
“Let’s wait for Teacher Michaela to arrive,” Josan said.

After saying that, she took out her phone and sent a message:
I've found Qi Yufeng.

After sending, include your current location.

Just as Qiao Sang put down her phone, Qi Yufeng seemed to sense something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her whole demeanor was radiant.

Immediately afterwards, the ice mirror disappeared.

Before long, a bird-like pet, about one meter in size, mostly white, with two musical note-like feathers floating behind its head, wearing miniature bracelets on its claws, and with a vacant look in its eyes, flew in from the sky.

The flying-type Emperor-level pet, Yin Panling... Qiao Sang recognized the pet that flew in.

At the same time, Gissouk moved forward, wanting to get a better look.

However, it slipped and fell from the tree.

"Gis!"

The egg screamed.

A flash of purple light appeared, and Steel Treasure caught it.

When Steelball brought the egg back to the tree, Josan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She immediately sensed something, her heart inexplicably quickened for a moment, and she looked up.

Yin Panling was flying, watching them from afar.

To be precise, they were staring at Steel Treasure. (End of Chapter)
