Beast Taming Starts from Zero

"Grind?"

The Dragon King paused for a moment, then cried out.

How did this guy end up under its butt?

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter silently took two steps back.

Could it be because of this again...?

Poor Geese Egg… Josan silently mourned for Geese Egg for a second, then said in a complicated tone:
"You just happened to be where the Geese Egg was rolling."

After she finished speaking, she called out:
"Lu Bao".

"Hyotei".

Lu Bao called out, but instead of approaching, she shone a ghostly blue light directly onto the egg by the wall.

“Giss…”

Bathed in a pale blue light, the egg slowly awoke.

"Gis!"

It opened its eyes, saw the Dragon King's huge face, was startled, and quickly jumped down, rolling into a corner.

Michaela then noticed the black aura emanating from Little Treasure Hunter, frowned slightly, and asked:

"Why is the aura of curse overflowing?"

"It's more than just overflowing," Qiao Sang couldn't help but complain. "Even without being used, the curse energy on its body can unconsciously curse the creatures around it."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King glanced at the little treasure hunter emanating black energy and took a big step back.

Little Treasure Hunter: "..."

"Didn't you have the Night Ring King cast a curse?" Michaela asked again.

“It’s cursed.” Qiao Sang said helplessly, “I had Ya Bao follow Xiao Xunbao the whole time today so that it could easily cast the curse, but the power of the curse is still so strong. Ya Bao didn’t even have time to purify the power of the curse before it encountered bad luck.”

"Tooth."

Ya Bao nodded in agreement.

"Even the sacred fire within its body couldn't be purified in time? A ghost-type pet that has condensed a cursed crystal... could its level be higher than she imagined...?" Michaela pondered for a few seconds, then said seriously:

"The ghost-type pet that condensed the curse crystal must be of a very high level. Such a phenomenon can indeed occur when the curse power within the body is excessive. The only curse that Night Ring King knows is the curse of bad luck. The curse power that is scattered outward will automatically transform into the power of the curse of bad luck, cursing the surrounding creatures."

After saying that, she realized that Qiao Sang and Ya Bao were both leaning against the wall, and couldn't help but laugh:

"It seems you've already realized that."

"Because Ya Bao just saw that I have a cursed power in my body..." Qiao Sang briefly recounted the unfortunate things that happened to her after meeting Xiao Xunbao.

After listening, Michaela suddenly asked, "What level is the Night Ring King's curse of bad luck?"

As a teacher who provides one-on-one instruction, one should theoretically know the level of each skill of the student's pet. However, Qiao Sang's situation is quite special. Her pet awakens more skills with each evolution than other pets.

Moreover, her pet's skills would noticeably improve every now and then. In addition, she hadn't participated in any particularly important large-scale competitions yet, so she wasn't really aware of the skills that her prodigy student's pet didn't usually use.

“Perfect,” Qiao Sang said.

On the way to Yantian Star, Xiao Xunbao either practiced Shadow Penetration or practiced Curse of Misfortune on ants he caught from who-knows-where. Although he hadn't reached the ultimate level yet, he had already reached a state of perfection.

A curse of bad luck at its peak...? Michaela very naturally stepped back and sat down on the sofa where the black aura couldn't reach, saying:

"If that's the case, I suggest you put Night Ring King back into the Beast Taming Manual recently. If it unconsciously releases curse power, it may affect your search for Hidden Shadow Grass."

"Search!"

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter quickly waved its paws and barked.

It doesn't want to be included in the Beast Taming Manual!
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, "But among Ya Bao and the others, only Xiao Xun Bao can see the Hidden Treasure Grass."

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded repeatedly.

That’s right!

“I will have Toothbear stay by Little Treasure Hunter’s side so that it can easily cast curses,” Qiao Sang continued.

This means it's best not to include Little Treasure Hunter in the Beast Taming Manual.

It's unclear when the power of this curse will be fully absorbed. If it's too strong, it might take a month to absorb completely. I can't keep Little Treasure Hunting in the Beast Taming Manual for a whole month.

"Tooth."

Ya Bao nodded, indicating that it was willing to accompany Xiao Xunbao.

The beast tamer's current task is to find a certain herb. Since only Little Treasure Hunter can see this herb, he naturally has to accompany it to complete the task.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter looked at Tooth Treasure and showed a touched expression.

"So what are you going to do tonight?" Michaela asked.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:
"Let Toothball cleanse us every morning when we wake up."

“A curse of bad luck at its peak won’t let you sleep soundly,” Michaela said slowly. “There was a time when someone was cursed by a ghost-type pet while sleeping at night, and as a result, the light above his head fell down and hit him in the middle of the night.”

"Some people have been cursed and an earthquake occurred in their area that night."

"There will be earthquakes?" Qiao Sang was shocked.

"Later investigations revealed that the area itself had signs of an earthquake, but the curse brought it forward," Michaela said.

"Why are you so sure that the earthquake was caused by the curse?" Jossan asked.

Michaela said calmly:

"Because in that area, everyone was fine after the earthquake, except for the person who was cursed, who lost a leg."

Oh dear… Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure pouted, its eyes brimming with tears, and let out a cry, indicating that it should still enter the Beast Taming Records...

Evenings are usually its free time to play. It doesn't want to enter the Beast Taming Manual at all, but when it thinks about how its Beast Tamer will break its leg because of it, it feels that it should still enter the Beast Taming Manual.

That's what she thought, but the thought of spending a long time every night in the Beast Taming Manual made Little Treasure Hunter want to cry.

“Little treasure hunter, you should go out and search all night, and come back in the morning,” Qiao Sang said.

"Search!"

The tears that were about to fall from Little Treasure's eyes immediately disappeared. He shouted excitedly, indicating that he would definitely find it outside and come back in the morning.

“The power of the curse only affects the creatures around it, and has no effect on itself.” Josan looked at Teacher Michaela and said, “I think Little Treasure Hunter should be fine searching for treasure on his own.”

Michaela said in a deep voice, "It is very dangerous to let a pet that exudes the power of curse search alone. No one knows if there are people or pets in the places it is searching for."

That's true... Qiao Sang fell silent.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Seeker realized something, his lips trembled, his eyes filled with tears again, and he cried out.

It should stay in the Beast Taming Manual...

"Tooth."

At this moment, Ya Bao barked, indicating that it could accompany Xiao Xun Bao outside to search for that grass at night.

"Searching..."

Brother Ya Bao… Little Xun Bao looked at Ya Bao with teary eyes.

“But you probably won’t be able to stay up all night,” Josang said.

"Hyotei".

Lu Bao barked, indicating that it could stay with Ya Bao and help cast a healing spell to keep Ya Bao from falling asleep.

"Searching..."

Third brother... Little Xunbao looked at Lu Bao with teary eyes.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do it this way for now, but I'll go with you tonight to look for it."

The mission only lasts for a month. Even if she goes out to search every night, it's just a month without sleep. She's experienced this before.

Moreover, the mission time was too short, so she definitely needed to spend more time searching outside.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter looked at his Beastmaster, and his emotions finally burst forth. He floated towards his Beastmaster with a grateful expression.

"Stop!" Qiao Sang quickly raised her hand to stop them.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter stopped what he was doing and looked aggrieved.

Then it seemed to remember something and barked at Toothball:
"Looking around~"

Brother Ya Bao, I'm going to curse you.

"Tooth."

Ya Bao called out, indicating that he was ready to come.

Little Treasure's eyes gleamed with purple light as it looked at Tooth Treasure.

Instantly, a visible black aura appeared on Ya Bao's body, but it quickly disappeared.

At the same time, the black aura on Xiao Xunbao's body instantly faded considerably. Having learned from his previous experience, Ya Bao immediately circulated his energy to purify the black aura within his body, fearing that he would be in trouble again if he was too late.

Little Treasure looked at the black aura on his body, then looked at Tooth Treasure again, his eyes flashing purple, and cursed once more.

"Looking around~"

Once the black aura that had appeared on its body had completely disappeared, Little Treasure Hunter floated to its master's side and happily nuzzled its master's cheek with its head.

This time, Josan did not stop him.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Michaela asked.

“With Lu Bao by my side, not sleeping isn’t a big deal.” After saying that, Qiao Sang immediately remembered the important matter and asked, “You just said that the pet that increases luck has been found?”

Michaela hummed in agreement: "It's a pet named Dance Luck Dodo, which can increase other people's luck by dancing."

As she spoke, she glanced at the time on her phone and said, "It should be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Michaela put down her phone and smiled, "It's here."

"Dong Dong~"

There was a second knock on the door.

Qiao Sang looked towards the door, a thought flashing through her mind.

The next second, a gust of wind blew and opened the door.

"Dance Dance".

A pet, roughly ninety centimeters tall, wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet, mostly red in color, with petals on its lower body resembling a skirt, pushed open the door and politely called out.

Sharara's eyes lit up, and she floated to its side.

Wu Yunduo smiled slightly at it.

"Qingqing."

Sharara smiled in response.

Wu Yunduo was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting the cry of the "fresh cattail" in front of her to be so unique.

“I think the object that will increase your luck is Qingfeng Yunren,” Michaela said, glancing in the direction of Qingbao.

"Dance luck".

Wu Yunduo came to her senses and looked at Qingbao.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao called out as a greeting.

Wu Yunduo was stunned again, looking at "Xianxianpu" and then at the pet beast named Qingfeng Yunren, her expression full of bewilderment.

Qiao Sang somehow understood the meaning behind its expression, coughed, and explained, "Xianxianpu has recently been learning the language of another race."

"Qingqing."

Xia Lala nodded.

"Dance luck".

Wu Yunduo suddenly realized, looked at "Xianxianpu", and showed an expression that said "You're really amazing".

"Qingqing."

Xia Lala showed a shy expression.

"Dance luck".

Remembering her business, Wu Yunduo came to Qingbao's side, waved her paws, kicked her legs, and began to dance.

As it danced, red petals began to flutter in the wind, swirling around it and Qingbao.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter's eyes lit up, and he floated over.

However, at that moment, a wisp of black mist appeared on its body.

Qiao Sang was startled and quickly put the Little Treasure Hunter back into the Beast Taming Manual with a wave of her hand.

"Dance luck, dance luck."

Wu Yunduo danced for about a minute before stopping.

The red petals disappeared just as they were about to fall to the ground.

"Dance..."

Wu Yunduo, panting, let out a cry, indicating that its luck had been boosted and it would be surrounded by good fortune for the next day.

A day... Qiao Sang suddenly realized something, her heart stirred, and she asked:

"Could you add another stroke of luck to your goal?"

Wu Yunduo hesitated for a moment, then looked at "Xianxianpu," feeling inexplicably relieved, and her internal energy rekindled. She nodded and called out:
"Dance luck".

can.

"Dance luck".

It paused, then barked again, but this time it would cost extra.

"of course."

Qiao Sang nodded.

As she spoke, she formed a hand seal.

A mysterious, deep purple star array lit up the room.

"Dance..."

Wu Yunduo stared blankly at the colors of the star array, her mouth gradually opening wider.

“Dancing Luck is only a general-level pet, it shouldn’t be able to suppress the curse power within Night Ring King,” Michaela said.

“I’m not trying to suppress it. I just want to improve Little Treasure Hunter’s luck. Even if the increased luck doesn’t help it find the Hidden Grass quickly, it might help it absorb the power of the curse sooner,” Qiao Sang said.

During the conversation, Little Treasure Hunter appeared in the star array, giving its beast tamer a pitiful look.

"Dance..."

Wu Yunduo quickly began to dance.

This time, however, its movements were much stiffer, as if it was afraid of making a mistake.

Before long, Wu Yunduo finished her dance.

"Dance..."

Wu Yunduo was panting heavily.

"Qingqing."

Xia Lala handed her a glass of water.

"Dance luck".

Wu Yunduo called out gratefully, took the water, and poured it on herself.

Suddenly, it sensed something, paused for a moment, looked at Sharara, and called out:
"Dance luck".

You smell so good.

"Qingqing."

Xia Lala gave a "Really?" look and smiled slightly.

"Dance luck".

Wu Yunduo nodded firmly, indicating that she believed no flower or plant would reject the scent.

As Qiao Sang listened to the conversation, a strange feeling stirred within her.

One dance performance by Wu Yunduo earns 100,000 Alliance Coins.

Although the luck boost from the Dance of Luck only applies to ordinary things, pets that can increase luck are rare and precious, making this price quite reasonable in the market.

After transferring 200,000 Alliance Coins, Wu Yunduo said goodbye and left the room.

"Little Treasure Hunter, bring out the Demon Fruit." Qiao Sang remembered the important matter, withdrew her gaze from Xia Lala, and said.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter called out, took off the ring, and took out the Demon Fruit from it.

Qiao Sang took the demon fruit, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Stay in the Beast Taming Manual for a while longer."

Little Treasure Hunter: "???"

Before Little Treasure Hunt could speak, Qiao Sang waved his hand and put it back into the Beast Taming Manual.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao floated over.

"Eat it." Qiao Sang handed over the demon fruit.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao took the demon fruit, cried out, and popped it into her mouth. (End of Chapter)
