Beast Taming Starts from Zero

"Good morning," Qiao Sang greeted calmly, then asked, "How did the search go last night?"

With her current strength and experience, once she understood what was going on, she wouldn't feel any pressure even if a dozen or so Ghost-type pets were watching her, let alone a hundred or so Ghost-type pets.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter sighed and called out, indicating that he hadn't found anything.

"Did you ask a ghost-type pet for help?" Qiao Sang asked again.

"Searching..."

Speaking of this, Little Treasure Hunter sighed again and called out, indicating that he had searched, but all the little guys had been scared away by Jiu Bugu.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, looked around, and asked, "Where is Jiu Bu Gu?"

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter barked once, indicating that it was still searching outside.

"You're quite attentive..." Qiao Sang got up and said as she headed to the bathroom, "I'll go look for it with you outside today."

Having spiritual vision, I can also see the Hidden Grass. As for finding a reliable Ghost-type pet, besides the Ghost-type pet that Steel Treasure left behind last night, I also posted relevant tasks on the Beast Taming Center's official website, so I don't need to make a special trip to the Beast Taming Center.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded.

The next second, a ghost-type pet's voice rang out:
"Mumble..."

Sigh, if my own beast tamer goes along, it won't be able to play...

Qiao Sang stopped at the bathroom door and looked in the direction of the sound.

The speaking ghost-type pet was about thirty centimeters in size, with a mouth on each side.

Nannanling, a low-level ghost-type pet, likes to tell people what's hidden in their hearts... Qiao Sang recalled the information about this pet in her mind.

Little Treasure seeker looked at Nan Nanling in surprise.

"Muttering?"

Nan Nan Ling opened her right mouth and called out again.

Strange, what it said is exactly what I was thinking.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter was stunned at first, but after realizing what was going on, his expression changed drastically. He suddenly pounced over and covered Nan Nan Ling's mouth.

"Search!"

Then, it quickly called out to its beast tamer to indicate that what it had just said was definitely not what it thought!

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then said:
"This pet is called Nan Nan Ling, and it will tell you what's hidden in your heart."

Little Treasure Hunter's body suddenly froze.

"Mumble..."

At that moment, another murmuring spirit beside them let out a cry.

it's over... it's over...

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter's expression changed drastically again. He used his substitute ability to cover the mouth of the other Murmuring Spirit.

The commotion in the room was so loud that Ya Bao and the others gradually woke up.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao rubbed her eyes.

"Ya Ya!"

Upon seeing the numerous ghost-type pets in the room, Ya Bao instantly snapped to attention, baring its teeth and displaying a wary expression.

An invisible sense of oppression permeated every corner of the room.

All the Ghost-type pets simultaneously felt fear. Except for the two Murmuring Spirits whose mouths were covered by Little Treasure Hunter, the other Ghost-type pets huddled together, trembling.

“Ya Bao, these pets are all here to help,” Qiao Sang said.

"Teeth..."

Ya Bao concealed his aura.

In fact, as soon as its own beast tamer spoke, it realized that these little guys meant no harm and were too weak to pose any threat at all.

"Qingqing?"

Qingbao looked at Xiaoxunbao and its substitute with a curious expression and called out, "What are you doing?"

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter gave a wry smile, indicating that this guy would tell what was on his mind.

Qingbao paused for a moment, then understood, her eyes lit up with interest, and she called out:
"Qingqing."

Don't cover its mouth, let me hear what it has to say.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter ignored it, looked at its own Beastmaster, and called out, indicating whether it could seal the mouth of the Murmuring Spirit.

Before Qiao Sang could speak, Qing Bao called out:
"Qingqing."

Why should we block things out? People have the freedom to speak.

As soon as the words were spoken, a murmuring cry came from the window:
"Muttering."

Why the censorship? It would be more interesting if you just said what's on your mind.

Qingbao was stunned for a moment, and her expression changed slightly.

"Nannan?!"

The murmuring spirit by the window called out again.

Is this what I was just thinking?!
"Clear!"

Qingbao's expression changed drastically. It vanished into the wind and reappeared beside the murmuring spirit by the window. It covered the spirit's mouth, let out a loud cry, and indicated that it also agreed to seal the spirit's mouth shut.

Little Treasure Hunter gave a "I knew it" look.

The three murmuring spirits blinked their innocent eyes.

Now you all understand what it feels like to have your privacy exposed. She used to go through this all along... Qiao Sang suppressed her inner thoughts and glanced subtly at where Gang Bao was.

Gangbao was looking at him.

Qiao Sang quickly looked away, coughed, and said:
"First, loosen the left side of Nan Nan Ling's mouth."

The Murmuring Spirit has two mouths. The left mouth is used to speak its own language, while the right mouth is used to speak what is in everyone's heart.

"Searching..."

"Qingqing..."

Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao exchanged a glance, their expressions hesitant.

“Only its right mouth can speak what's on everyone's mind,” Jossan explained.

"Searching..."

"Qingqing..."

Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao both breathed a sigh of relief and released Nan Nanling's left mouth.

“You can choose to leave or stay. If you stay, I might have to seal your right mouth,” Josang said.

Although the Murmuring Spirit has a gentle personality, people tend to avoid it because it speaks their minds. Even with a Beast Tamer contract, when taking it out, people usually seal its right mouth shut.

There are also special gadgets on the market to seal its mouth.

The three murmuring spirits looked at each other, quickly nodded, and cried out in unison.

They know they can't control their mouths, so they don't object to having their mouths sealed, since they can still talk and eat normally from their left mouth anyway.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter quickly released its paws, removed the ring, took out the tape from inside, and stuck it on the mouths of the Murmuring Spirits.

Then, it looked around the room and, seeing that there was no fourth Murmuring Spirit, put the tape back into the ring.

After a quick wash and breakfast, Josan told Teacher Michaela that after arranging the training for Lu Bao and the others, he took Little Treasure Hunter and the Ghost-type pets out to search.

She first went to the shop and bought a map of Zhangjia Kingdom and the city where she was currently located. Then, she rode the wind to the sky, opened the map, and said:

“We’ll split up and search. We’re in Dunt City now, so let’s search the surrounding area first, and then slowly expand outwards. Hidden Grass can’t be cultivated artificially; it generally grows in forests, streamsides, or grassy hillsides where there’s a lot of yin energy, so we don’t need to search inside the city center…”

Josang assigned the areas to search.

The ghost-type pets around them listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

After about five minutes, Qiao Sang finally finished explaining and said:

"That's about it. Alright, everyone split up and search. If you find it, bring it back directly. As a reward, I will grant you any of your requests."

The ghost-type pets immediately showed happy expressions and all barked.

"Steel Power".

Steel Baby suddenly barked from the side, indicating that they might get lost.

That's right, these ghost-type pets were left behind by Steel Treasure because they got lost... Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure Hunter and said:

"Take out a pen."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter took out a ring and a pen from it. Qiao Sang took the pen and wrote her number on each of the ghost-type pets.

After writing down all the Ghost-type pets, she put down her pen and added, "If you find the Hidden Shadow Grass but can't find our hotel's location, call this number to contact me."

The ghost-type pets all cried out and scattered.

"Search?"

Little Treasure Hunter called out, indicating that we shouldn't go to one place to look.
“Let’s split up and search,” Qiao Sang said. “That will be more efficient.”

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter let out a joyful cry, then realized it had been too happy, quickly composed itself, and looked reluctant, letting out another cry:
"Looking around~"

Then I'll be going.

After saying that, he turned around and floated in the direction that his beast tamer had arranged earlier.

"Wait," Qiao Sang called out.

"Xunxun?" Little Xunbao stopped what it was doing and turned to look at it.

“Let Gangbao go with you,” Qiao Sang said.

She hadn't forgotten what Nan Nan Ling had said that morning: if Little Treasure Hunt went out to search on its own, it would definitely want to play, and although it would search, it would waste a lot of time.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure froze, trying to refuse.

But the fourth brother can't see the Hidden Grass...

Before Qiao Sang could answer, Gang Bao called out:
"Steel Power".

Boss, let me stay with you.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter paused for a moment, then couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay then."

After saying that, he hummed a song while searching and drifted towards the direction arranged by his beast tamer.

"Don't let it play," Josan thought to himself.

"Steel Power." Steel Treasure called out in his mind to indicate that he understood, then flapped his wings and chased after Little Treasure Hunter.

Qiao Sang turned around and flew in the opposite direction.

"Tooth."

As Ya Bao followed, it barked once, indicating that it didn't want to sit on its back, as that would make things faster.

“No need,” Qiao Sang smiled. “I can speed things up.”

As he spoke, a slight thought stirred within him, connecting him to the prevailing sentiment.

The next moment, the wind blew, and her speed suddenly increased.

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao's eyes lit up, and he sped up to catch up.

……

On a hill somewhere, amidst clumps of tender green grass.

"Searching~ Searching~" Little Xunbao hummed a song as he searched through the grass.

Suddenly, a red insect-type pet emerged from the ground and met Little Treasure Hunter's gaze.

Little Treasure Hunter stopped singing, looked at it, grinned, and greeted it with a smile:
"Looking around~"

"It's hot!"

The red insect-type pet screamed as if it had seen something terrifying, and twisted away quickly.

"Search?"

Little Treasure was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Steel Treasure and called out.

Is it scary?

"Steel power..."

Gangbao looked at it and called out with a solemn expression.

You are covered in black energy.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter paused for a moment, took off the ring, and took out a mirror to look at himself.

Sure enough, he saw that his whole body was emanating black energy.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter seemed to realize something, put the mirror back into the ring, and casually exclaimed that it was nothing, just that the curse power had overflowed a little, but it would be fine in a while.

"Steel Power".

Steel Bao called out, indicating that if you couldn't control your urge to curse, we would go back first.

"Search..."

Little Treasure Hunt gave a reassuring look and called out, but stopped halfway through its story, frowning.

At the same time, the black aura on its body spread out again.

A few seconds later, Little Treasure Hunt looked up, pouted, and called out:
"Searching..."

Fourth brother, why don't you curse me first? It seems like it can't hold back anymore...

Steel Treasure: "..."

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure called out in his mind.

Two seconds later, it and Little Treasure Hunter vanished into thin air.

……

By the stream.

Qiao Sang formed a hand seal, and two mysterious and profound purple star arrays lit up simultaneously.

Before long, Little Treasure Hunter and Steel Treasure appeared in their respective star arrays.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Seeker suddenly realized something when he saw his own Beastmaster in front of him, and looked at Steel Treasure beside him.

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure calmly called out, indicating that the boss's curse power seemed to be getting out of control.

Hearing the words "boss," Little Treasure Hunter felt a surge of satisfaction, but outwardly sighed and called out:
"Searching..."

It definitely felt like it was about to lose control and really wanted to curse someone.

Qiao Sang watched as the black aura around Xiao Xunbao gradually thickened, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Ya Bao, you go with Xiao Xun Bao to find it."

There is only one month left, and one day has already passed. The search for the Hidden Grass must not be stopped.

After absorbing the curse crystal, the ghost-type pet will be unable to control itself for a period of time. If it tries to control itself and does not release the power of the curse, it will be bad for its body. In this case, it is best to release the power of the curse.

Ya Bao is the most suitable choice.

"Ya?"

Ya Bao paused for a moment, then called out.

it?
To be honest, it didn't really want to go; it wanted to stay by its beast tamer's side.

“Yes.” Qiao Sang nodded and said, “In the current situation, it is best for Little Treasure Hunt to have a target for its curse. If it curses you, the holy fire in your body can directly purify it, so there is nothing to fear.”

"Tooth."

Ya Bao gave a "okay" look, looked at Xiao Xun Bao, and called out, indicating that he would accompany Xiao Xun Bao to find that herb.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure looked at Tooth Treasure, then at Steel Treasure, and cried out, indicating that he could actually endure a little longer.

To be honest, it prefers having the fourth brother with it. If its older brother, Toothpick, is with it, it definitely won't be able to play anything...

"Ya?"

Upon hearing this, Ya Bao frowned and called out.

Don't you want me to stay with you?
"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter quickly shook his head.

No no!

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao called out.

Then let's go.

"Searching..."

Knowing the matter was settled, Little Treasure stopped struggling, its eyes glowing blue, and it disappeared with Tooth Treasure.

With Ya Bao watching over him, Xiao Xunbao shouldn't slack off... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Just then, my phone vibrated. (End of Chapter)
