Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

"When did you find out?" Qiao Sang asked with a look of surprise.

“While Steel Treasure is absorbing the Elephant Fruit,” Michaela said, “Although Penjami can’t go down, locating the pet egg’s position is still not a problem.”

"So what kind of pet egg was that?" Qiao Sang asked curiously, "It actually managed to survive at the bottom of the Void Cliff."

Michael paused for two seconds, then said:

"You can't tell what kind of egg it is from its appearance."

Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Why?"

Each species' pet egg has a unique appearance. Even if some species' pet eggs look similar, they can be easily identified by professionals. Teacher Michaela is an S-rank Beast Tamer with extensive knowledge and experience; he shouldn't be unable to recognize the pet eggs.

Michaela said in a deep voice, "Because that pet has been petrified."

Qiao Sang was stunned again: "Petrified?"

Michaela hummed in agreement: "There is only that one pet egg at the bottom of the entire Void Cliff, so there is no possibility of finding the wrong one."

Qiao Sang couldn't help but say, "If it's petrified, this pet egg must be older than Yin Panling. It's never been down there, so how would it know there's a pet egg at the bottom of the Void Cliff?"

“Even a petrified pet egg cannot withstand an explosion caused by spatial instability,” Michaela said slowly. “That should not be a pet egg that petrified naturally, but a pet egg that was petrified by an unnatural ability.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, and several pets with the ability to petrify flashed through her mind.

After about five or six seconds, she hesitated and said, "Could it be a stone giant?"

The Stone Armored Giant is an ancient Emperor-level pet beast. It is born with the ability to petrify its targets. It is said that targets petrified by it are incredibly hard and indestructible. She had seen one before at the Tenth Seat Gathering.

“That’s possible,” Michaela said.

The only pet beast she could think of that possessed the ability to petrify, and whose petrified targets were not easily destroyed, was the Stone Armored Giant.

"Should we confirm with Yin Panling again?" Qiao Sang suggested.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Penjami, but the next trip to the Void Cliff wouldn't be easy. If she finally managed to bring out the pet egg, but ended up bringing the wrong one, that would be a bit of a problem.

“There’s no need to specifically look for Yin Panling,” Michaela said calmly. “Qi Yu Feng is so familiar with it, it must know what kind of pet egg it’s looking for.”

……

"Praying for rain."

The Rain-Praying Phoenix flapped its wings and cried out, indicating that it did not know.

“How could you not know?” Qiao Sang asked.

As a proper simp, shouldn't you know every little detail about your goddess?

"Praying for rain."

Qi Yufeng cried out, indicating that when it recognized Yin Panling, the pet egg was already below the Void Cliff; otherwise, Yin Panling wouldn't have thought of living in Yin Bird Valley.

Qiao Sang was quite surprised and asked in astonishment, "Yin Panling lived in Yin Bird Valley because of that pet egg?"

Wasn't it said that the environment of the Soundbird Valley was very suitable for the Soundbirds to live in, which is why Soundbird Spirit fought against Rainphoenix and came to the Soundbird Valley?

Michaela looked over, his eyes showing the same surprise.

"Praying for rain..."

Qi Yufeng nodded, recalling the scene of her first meeting with Yin Panling, a dreamy expression on her face, and began to reminisce.

It was a wonderful day, I...

“It seems we still need to confirm with Yinpanling,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Teacher Michaela.

Qi Yufeng: "..."

Michaela didn't speak, but instead gave Penjami a wink in the direction of the window.

Penjami looked towards the window, her eyes gleaming with blue light.

The curtains were suddenly pulled open as if by some unseen force.

"Music Master!"

Immediately afterwards, a scream rang out, and a Sound-Master Bird was controlled to swoop in from outside the window.

Qiao Sang's expression remained unchanged upon seeing this scene.

She already knew that a soothing bird had been following her outside.

The blue light in Penjami's eyes dissipated.

Caught off guard, the bird fell to the ground.

However, it quickly realized what was happening, flapped its wings and flew up to Qi Yufeng's side, letting out a fierce but ultimately weak cry:
"Sound, Sound Master!"

What do you want to do?! I was sent by the King!

Your Majesty…you must be referring to Yin Panling…Qiao Sang smiled socially and said, “I just wanted to trouble you to go back and tell Yin Panling that we are preparing to go down the Void Cliff to get the pet egg, but before we go, we hope to communicate with it in person to confirm what the pet egg looks like, so as not to make a mistake.”

"Music Master".

The bird paused for a moment, nodded, and flapped its wings to fly out the window.

About twenty minutes later, there were two knocks on the window.

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw that the one knocking on the window was none other than Yin Panling.

She thought Yin Panling would ask the Yin Shi Bird to tell her to arrange a time and place, but she didn't expect it to come over so quickly. It seems that the pet egg is indeed very important to it... Well, if it weren't important, it wouldn't have been so generous in giving Gang Bao so many Hundred Wind Fruits and two Ranxiang Fruits... Qiao Sang went from surprise to understanding and got up to open the window.

At the same time, Qi Yufeng saw Yin Panling's eyes light up and she showed a happy expression when she saw her outside the window.

Immediately, it seemed to remember something and flapped its wings, flying hurriedly towards the bathroom.

Qiao Sang opened the window.

Yin Panling flew in, a serious expression on her face, and called out:
"Yinpan?"

Are you guys getting ready to go down the Void Cliff?

Michaela gestures to Penjame for translation.

Qiao Sang replied, "Yes, we plan to descend the Void Cliff soon."

"Yinpan?"

"Yinpan?"

Yinpanling glanced in Gangbao's direction, a puzzled expression on its face, and barked twice, indicating that it had just finished absorbing energy and officially awakened. "Aren't you going to spend some time training its defense?"
“No need,” Qiao Sang said, “because I’m planning to have Qing Bao go down and get the pet egg.”

"Qingqing."

Qingbao floated forward and sweetly called out, indicating that she was Qingbao.

Yin Panling looked at Qingbao, scrutinizing her for several moments, and then exclaimed:
"Yinpan?"

Does it have any special abilities?
Qiao Sang nodded to Qing Bao.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao called out.

The next second, a gust of wind suddenly appeared, swirling around Yinpanling and blowing it into the air.

Startled by the sudden gust of wind, Yin Panling paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she cried out:
"Yinpan?"

Can you control the wind?
As an Emperor-level pet beast, it easily discerned that the wind was not controlled by energy or skills, but was generated naturally.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao nodded.

"Yinpan?"

Yin Panling looked at Qingbao with curiosity for a few more moments, then seemed to realize something and called out suspiciously.

Can you control the wind to go down a cliff?
Before Qingbao could answer, Qi Yufeng called out in a low voice:
"Praying for rain."

Just trust this human. She also has a ghost-type pet that can use shadow penetration and control the wind to go to the bottom of the Void Cliff without any problem.

Yinpanling, Josang, and Michaela looked in the direction of the sound.

Qi Yufeng flew out of the bathroom, shook her head, and crystal-clear water droplets fell from her body, looking extremely flirtatious.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Michaela: "..." Yin Panling seemed unsurprised, her expression remaining unchanged.

Its gaze swept around the room, finally settling on Little Treasure Hunter.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure recalls the scene from their first meeting when she uncontrollably teleported to Chaoyin Panling, and silently floats to Ya Bao's side.

Although Steel is currently the strongest in terms of pure energy, the sense of security that Tooth provides is far superior to that of Steel.

"Yinpan?"

Yin Panling withdrew her gaze, her expression becoming much more serious. She called out, indicating, "What did you want to ask me?"
After confirming that the other party had a pet that could control the wind and penetrate shadows, it knew that the chances of obtaining the pet egg had increased significantly.

"Praying for rain..."

Qi Yufeng couldn't help but show a disappointed expression when she saw that Yin Panling had stopped paying attention to her so quickly.

“My teacher found a pet egg at the bottom of the Void Cliff,” Qiao Sang said. “However, the pet was petrified, so I wanted to confirm with you first whether it was this one.”

Yin Panling suddenly looked at Michaela.

Noticing Yin Panling's gaze, Michaela smiled faintly.

She could still understand what Qiao Sang was saying and knew why Yin Panling was looking at her.

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

This is it.

Penjami continued translating.

"Why are the pet eggs petrified?" Qiao Sang couldn't help but ask.

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling was silent for two seconds, then called out, indicating that it was because this was a pet egg of a Stone Armored Giant.

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

Josan was shocked.

She had considered that this was a pet egg petted by a stone behemoth, but she never imagined that it was actually a pet egg petted by a stone behemoth!

The Stone Armored Giant is an ancient pet beast. The only information available is its appearance after it was resurrected from fossils. There are no pictures of its pet egg, which explains why Teacher Michael didn't recognize it.

Just as Josang was in shock, Penjami finished translating.

Michaela: "!!!"

Michaela then revealed a shocked expression.

"How do you know that's the pet egg of the Stone Armored Giant?" Josang asked.

Considering the high probability that the other party could obtain the pet egg, Yin Panling didn't hide anything and explained in detail:
“Yinpan”.

“Yinpan”.

“Yinpan…”

Qiao Sang filled in the corresponding scenes in her mind from Yin Panling's narration.

A hundred years ago, a global drought struck. Yin Panling, then a high-level pet beast, was thirsty and nearly died in the forest.

When it woke up, it found a giant stone armored creature feeding it water.

Later they became friends, traveled together to find water, and spent a pleasant time together.

One day, they found the bottom of a cliff, which is now known as the Void Cliff.

Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared.
Before Yin Panling could figure out what was going on, the stone-armored giant's expression changed drastically.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Panling found herself suddenly petrified, and the stone-armored giant took it in its hand and threw it towards the top of the cliff.

Although petrified, Yin Panling clearly saw the space below explode, and the stone giant was blown to pieces in the explosion...

"Wait a minute." Qiao Sang interrupted after finishing her mental calculations, "It was blown to pieces, how did it become a pet egg again?"

What exploded into pieces? Michaela was still listening to Penjami's translation, outwardly appearing to be attentive, but inwardly he was somewhat anxious.

In the past, when I was with other people, I always had to listen to my pet's translation, so I didn't feel anything special.

Before she could even finish translating her own pet's work, Qiao Sang started communicating with it, which made her feel inexplicably excluded.

If she can break through the Beast Taming Manual again in the future, she must contract a little steel falcon! Michaela thought to herself.

“Yinpan”.

Yinpanling cried out, indicating that the Stone Armor Giant had told it that it possessed the ability to regenerate, and that even if it died, it could turn into an egg and come back to life.

Qiao Sang stared in astonishment, her eyes widening: "There's such a characteristic?!"

"What characteristics?" Before Penjami could finish translating, Michael couldn't help but ask.

"The rebirth ability!" Qiao Sang's voice rose: "Yin Panling said that the Stone Armored Giant has the rebirth ability! Even if it dies, it can turn into a pet egg and come back to life!"

Michaela pondered for a few seconds, then nodded and said:
"Yes, it does have this characteristic. It is said that even if a pet with this characteristic dies, it can turn back into a pet egg and, after hatching, retain all its past memories."

"However, the number of times a pet can be reborn varies depending on its trait level, and even if it is reborn, its talent will be reduced and its evolution limit will be reduced by one level."

"Each time you are reborn, your evolution limit decreases by one level."

This means that even if a Stone Armored Giant, whose original maximum level was Emperor, is re-hatched from a pet egg and develops using its previous training experience, it can only evolve to the highest level of Emperor.

"It's amazing that you can come back to life..." Qiao Sang said sincerely.

Then, as if remembering something, she looked surprised again and asked:

"A hundred years ago? The stone-armored giant stayed at the bottom of the void cliff for about a hundred years without hatching?"

“Yinpan”.

Yinpanling cried out, indicating that it didn't know either.

Michael thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

"It's possible that the Stone Armored Giant died several times during that period, which may have resulted in it being turned into a pet egg countless times."

Yin Panling's face turned pale instantly.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Teacher, although this might be the truth, saying it so bluntly might scare Yin Panling to death... Qiao Sang quickly reassured her when she saw Yin Panling's troubled expression:
"This is just speculation. The most urgent task now is to bring the Stone Armored Giant's pet up from the Void Cliff as soon as possible."

"Yinpan?"

Yin Panling's expression returned to calm, and she called out, indicating when you were planning to go.

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then said:

"Just now."

She was initially worried that the sudden explosion of space after the wind lifted the pet egg would destroy it, but now that she knew it was a pet egg of a giant stone armored creature that had been there for a hundred years, she knew that the pet would not be easily destroyed.

Since that's the case, there's no need to waste time.

Michael listened to Penjami's translation and Jossan's words without saying anything, which was considered as his agreement with the decision.

“Yinpan”.

Yin Panling's eyes flashed with excitement, but she still called out in a calm tone, indicating that she would go with them.

"Pray for rain!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yufeng quickly called out, indicating that it would also go.

“Then let’s all go together,” Qiao Sang said.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Little Treasure Hunter.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure received a look from its Beastmaster, understood what it meant, and its eyes glowed blue.

The next second, the two people and their pets disappeared from the room. (End of Chapter)
