Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's first thought was: Holy crap, a forbidden area?!
The second thought was: we can't go to the forbidden area. At worst, we can find the resources that Steelbao needs through other means. There's no need to take this risk.

What is a forbidden area? Only places with an extremely high risk factor, where there is basically no chance of returning, can be called forbidden areas.

Upon thinking of this, Qiao Sang immediately said, "I may not be able to do this for you. Why don't you ask for something else?"

"Yinpan." Yinpanling looked at her and called out calmly.

It also has resources for flying-type pets of the king level.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang shamefully felt a fleeting attraction, but still refused:
"I'm just a B-rank Beast Tamer, so I probably won't be able to go to places like the Void Cliff."

Michaela did not stop them upon hearing this. No one knew what was inside the forbidden area, and for safety's sake, it was indeed not suitable to go there.

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling cried out, indicating that you have no way to help, but it can try.

As he spoke, he looked at Gangbao.

"Steel Chief?"

Steel Treasure pointed to himself with his wings.

"Yinpan." Yinpanling nodded and called out.

It had been to the bottom of the Void Cliff once before. A space would suddenly appear below, and destructive energy would suddenly appear in the space. If a pet with high defense went down, it might have a chance to come back.

Qiao Sang instantly understood why Yin Panling had been staring at Gangbao from the beginning; she was drawn to Gangbao's feathers, which looked even harder than steel.

From the very beginning, it intended to get Steel Treasure into the Void Cliff.

What is this saying...? Michael looked left and right, hoping that Penjame and the others could translate it for him.

However, neither Penjami, Dragon King, nor Jiu Bugu were paying attention to the conversation and did not notice her.

"Since you've already gone down there, why didn't you just bring the pet egg back up?" Qiao Sang asked.

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling cried out.

It didn't go all the way down; it saw the commotion below and knew it couldn't go any further, so it came back.

Yin Panling answered patiently, without any arrogance befitting an Emperor-level pet, appearing to have a very good temper.

Spatial collapse or spatial storm? After hearing Yin Panling's words, Qiao Sang had a slight idea of ​​what was going on.

It appears that the problem below the Void Cliff is not a terrifying wild beast, but rather a natural disaster.

Although natural disasters can sometimes be as destructive as those caused by venerable or even god-level pets, simply surviving a natural disaster for a period of time to obtain a pet egg is something that Qiao Sang could actually accomplish.

After all, Little Treasure Hunt has Shadow Penetration, and Steel Treasure in its Royal Form has Absolute Defense. Combining these two moves might make it possible to obtain the pet egg that Yin Panling mentioned at the bottom of the Void Cliff...

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

She remembered that Yin Panling had mentioned the resources needed for Royal-level Flying-type pets...

Qiao Sang feigned difficulty and said, "Gangbao is only a King-level beast. Even if its defense is much stronger than that of an ordinary King-level beast, if you can't go down there, it definitely can't either."

"Steel Chief..."

Steel Treasure's thoughts were in sync with its beast tamer's, and it feigned a troubled expression. Then, its eyes lit up, revealing a "I've got it!" look, and it barked:
"Steel Chieftain!"

Or we can wait until it has fully evolved into a royal-level creature before going down there.

Qiao Sang sighed, "But if you don't have the resources, it will take a long time for you to fully evolve into a royal-level being."

"Steel Chief..."

Gangbao looked thoughtful, as if asking, "What should we do?"

At this moment, Yin Panling cried out:
“Yinpan”.

I can give you the resources you need for a King-level Flying-type pet first. Once you have fully evolved to the Emperor level, you will have to go down.

It's done... Qiao Sang was secretly delighted, but on the surface she still looked troubled:

“But you are an Emperor-level pet beast. Even if you can’t go down completely, even if Steel Treasure evolves into a Royal-level beast, it’s not certain that it can stay down there for a long time.”

Hearing this, Michaela finally understood where Josang and Yin Panling had been talking about. Without thinking, she frowned and said:
"We can't go down the Void Cliff, so change your request."

"No, teacher..." Josan suddenly remembered that Teacher Michaela didn't know that Steelball had awakened Absolute Defense after evolving to Emperor level. She showed an understanding expression and said:

"Yin Panling made this request because the pet egg below the Void Cliff must be very important to it. Teacher, let me think about it."

Upon hearing this, Yin Panling's usually calm gaze flickered slightly, and her expression softened considerably.

Michaela gave Jossan a complicated look, but did not refute him.

She knew her student wouldn't joke about the safety of her pet; she must have her own ideas.

"Steel Chief..."

Gangbao sighed and called out.

If only I were stronger.

“We found this place because we want to become stronger,” Qiao Sang comforted him.

"Steel Chief..."

Steelbao continued to sigh.

What I mean is, I wish I could quickly become strong enough to descend the Void Cliff.

"You acted well," Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Steel Chieftain".

Steel Treasure responded in his mind.

The same to you.

"Search?"

Little Treasure looked at Steel Treasure sighing and looked puzzled.

It remembered that the fourth brother didn't seem to have this kind of personality.

“Yinpan”.

“Yinpan”.

As the thought flashed through her mind, Yin Panling cried out twice, indicating that it could give you the resources of the royal-level flying pet ahead of time, but at most six months later you would have to go to the Void Cliff. During this period, you would have to stay with the Yin Gu Bird.

"Okay, okay..." Qiao Sang resisted the urge to nod immediately and put on a troubled look again.

"Steel Chieftain".

Steelbao struggled for a moment, its expression matching its expression, before becoming determined and barking to indicate that it wanted to try.

Qiao Sang looked at it, silently counted "3, 2, 1", then showed a resigned expression and said:

"Okay, let's try it then."

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling smiled slightly and called out, indicating that they could rest anywhere in Yin Niao Valley, and that Yin Shi Niao would give them the resources they needed.

“Okay,” Qiao Sang nodded.

Qi Yufeng stared at the human and the unfamiliar bird-like pet as if they were idiots.

Michaela listened to the conversation and seemed to guess something. He frowned but did not interrupt.

After initially showing some interest, Jiu Bugu listened to the conversation with a dazed expression, seemingly lost in thought.

Soon, a soothing bird flew over, called out, and began to lead the way.

Josan, Teacher Michaela, and Toothbo followed behind.

After the group of figures disappeared, Qi Yufeng sighed and called out:
"Praying for rain."

It's just a king-level being, why demote it?

It actually tried to go down to that place, but it couldn't get close at all.

"Yinpan." Yinpan called out calmly.

It could sense the little guy's powerful defense.

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng cried out.

That's just a king-level being.

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling spoke calmly.

Didn't the other human say that it can already evolve temporarily, and as long as it absorbs enough resources, it can evolve completely?

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng couldn't help but call out again.

But even if it evolves, it's only at the Emperor level. Even we can't go down there. What good is the defense of an Emperor level?

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling called out softly.

I have provided them with enough resources; even if they fail, it will be their choice.

Qi Yufeng wanted to say something more.

But at this moment, Yin Panling had already flapped its wings and flown forward.

Qi Yufeng instantly forgot what she wanted to say and flapped her wings to follow.

……

high in the air.

The soothing bird led the way.

Qiao Sang sat on Gang Bao's lap and asked:

"Why is Jiu Bu Gu here?"

Michaela said with a forced smile, "I followed the location you gave me and then saw two Emperor-level pet beasts, so I summoned Jiu Bugu here."

Jiu Bu Gu remained silent, drifting quietly, occasionally gazing into the distance with a wistful expression, its silhouette exuding an indescribable desolation and loneliness.

"Grind."

The Dragon King chimed in from the side.

Jiu Bugu only arrived today. If I hadn't summoned Jiu Bugu, we might have already started fighting.

Sure enough, Qi Yufeng and Yin Panling would only be willing to talk when their strength was evenly matched. Luckily, she left quickly... Qiao Sang felt a sense of relief and turned to look at Jiu Bugu, just about to have a chat with it.

Michaela suddenly asked:

"You agreed to go down the Void Cliff with Yin Panling."

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement and explained, "When Steel Treasure temporarily evolved before, I had it test out its newly awakened skills, and I suspect that one of them is an absolute defense."

"Absolute defense?" Michaela looked astonished.

“Yes.” Qiao Sang nodded and said, “When Steel Treasure temporarily evolved, it seemed to have awakened a defensive skill, so I let Tooth Treasure attack it to test it out. As a result, it didn’t feel any pain at all in the first few seconds.”

In order to make sure that the skills that Gangbao had awakened were reasonable, she would make Gangbao demonstrate them.

"Tooth."

Ya Bao nodded.

It remembers this.

"Why do you suspect it's an absolute defense?" Michaela asked after a moment's thought.

"Because Ya Bao used the skill Radiant Impact at that time," Qiao Sang said.

Radiant Impact, a super-tier fire-type skill. A royal-level pet uses an offensive super-tier skill to attack a temporarily evolved royal-level pet, but the latter does not feel any pain in the first few seconds. There is indeed a high probability that it has awakened a defensive skill of the same level... Michaela thought of something, and his expression became somewhat dazed.

Therefore, after Steel Treasure temporarily evolved to the Emperor level, it not only awakened the super-tier skill Skywing Blade, but also the super-tier skill Absolute Defense.
It awakened two super-level skills?
"Moreover, when Steel Treasure uses his skill, a custom-made white armor will condense on his body." Qiao Sang continued, "I remember that's what Absolute Defense looks like when it's used."

Michaela's resilience had increased considerably. She took a deep breath and, after only about three seconds of processing, spoke:

“Even if Gangbao has absolute defense, we can’t agree to this. If it were possible to go down the Void Cliff, Yin Panling would have gone down herself long ago.”

“Yin Panling actually went down there…” Qiao Sang immediately recounted her conversation with Yin Panling.

"You mean Yinpanling is willing to give you the resources of the King and Emperor-level flying-type pets in advance?" Michaela couldn't help but ask to confirm.

“Yes.” Qiao Sang nodded. “Moreover, it gave us six months. That’s a long time, enough for Steel Treasure to improve his absolute defense proficiency.”

If someone else had said that, Michaela would have laughed at her inwardly, but when Jossan said it, she didn't realize anything was wrong.

Michaela pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Then we'll stay here for a while."

Since Yin Panling is willing to provide resources first, there is no need to refuse. She can try to explore the Void Cliff first. If it is too dangerous down there, she can simply leave after Gangbao has absorbed the corresponding resources and make amends to Yin Panling later.

During the conversation, the Sound-Bird stopped, pointed downwards with its wing, and cried out:
"Music Master".

You can rest here.

After saying that, it flapped its wings and turned to leave.

Below is a place full of flowers and grass.

Flying-type pets stayed in various places, insect-type pets crawled among the plants, and grass-type pets basked in the sun.

Everywhere is teeming with life.

Steel Treasure flew downwards.

Various kinds of pets looked over curiously. Some chose to leave, while others continued to observe with curiosity, without being afraid.

This won't do. If we stay here for a long time, Ya Bao and the others will definitely train, and the environment here will be completely destroyed... Qiao Sang glanced around and immediately decided to discuss with Yin Panling about moving to another place after he got Gang Bao's resources.

Amidst a flurry of thoughts, Jiu Bugu, who had been in a daze for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, drifted over and called out:
"Indeed?"

do you remember me?

It feels much more composed now, no longer as oily and greasy as it used to be.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course."

Then something occurred to her, and she asked, somewhat surprised and delighted, "You remember me?"

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bugu nodded.

You have a beautiful pet that left a deep impression on me, but I only recently remembered you.

After saying that, it looked puzzled and called out, "Jiujiu?"

Why didn't I see that pretty little guy this time?
“You mean Lu Bao?” Qiao Sang said. “It’s in the Beast Taming Manual right now.”

She did not summon Lu Bao.

To be honest, Jiu Bugu left a deep impression on her, and she was a little worried that Lu Bao would be harassed after being summoned.

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bugu did not mention Lu Bao again, and then changed the subject by calling out.

Actually, I came here specifically for you.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "For me?"

"Investigate further."

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bugu nodded and called out twice.

I remember my beast tamer once said that you traveled back a hundred years, and that the time-traveling pet was summoned by you. I want you to summon it again so I can travel back to a previous time. (End of Chapter)
