Beast Taming Starts from Zero

After staring at the lake for more than ten seconds, Lu Bao opened her mouth and began to sing again:

"Ice ice ice~ ice ice~ ice~ ice ice ice~"

Invisible sound waves rippled outwards.

Giss Egg stopped rolling, and its expression became peaceful.

"ice King?"

Lu Bao stopped singing, turned her head and called out, as if to say, "Are you still hungry?"

“Gis”.

Giss Egg sensed it for a moment and honestly shook its head.

Not hungry.

"ice King?"

Lu Bao looked puzzled and called out.

Then why were you crying just now?
“Gis”.

“Gis”.

Gisso gave a calm cry.

It missed Qiao Sang, Xiao Xunbao, Xianxianpu, Tingbao, Yabao, Qingbao, and its beast tamer.

Lu Bao fell silent.

"Hyotei".

After about two seconds, Lu Bao called out calmly, indicating that we would see them soon.

“Gis”.

Giss Egg let out a cry.

But half a month felt like a long time.

"Hyotei".

Lu Bao called out calmly, indicating that it wouldn't be long and would pass quickly, and that Lu Bao should stay close to Lu Bao during this time.

“Gis”.

Gisdan nodded calmly.

Lubo went to the side, packed the package with its tail, rolled it up, and placed it under a tree not far away. Then, it went to a spot a hundred meters away from Geese Egg and began training.

It looked up at the sky, the gem on its forehead shimmered slightly, and then its whole body was covered with a layer of crystal-clear ice armor.

At the same time, the entire oasis suddenly seemed to be shrouded in shadow.

High in the sky, a colossal ice cone, resembling a mountain, is plummeting at an extremely high speed.

The speed was so fast that it created a powerful airflow below.

And right in the center of the crash site was Lu Bao.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the colossal ice cone, as large as a mountain, shattered into pieces, revealing Lu Bao's figure below.

Two fine cracks appeared on its crystal-clear ice armor.

A surge of cold air caused the two cracks to heal completely at a visible speed.

Lu Bao looked up at the sky.

The next moment, a colossal ice cone, resembling a mountain, reappeared, this time appearing even larger than before.

“Giss…”

Gisdan watched calmly from the side.

However, it soon discovered that the shadows high in the sky seemed to have enveloped it as well.

“Gis”.

Giss Egg sensed the danger, calmly rolled forward, and prepared to roll out of the shadows.

However, it is too slow.

"boom!!!"

The massive ice cone, as large as a mountain, crashed heavily to the ground with a deafening roar.

The ice spikes shattered, revealing Lu Bao's figure clad in ice armor.

Just as it looked up at the sky, preparing to create an even more powerful giant ice cone than before, it suddenly sensed something and turned its head to look.

The egg had disappeared from its original location.

Lu Bao had a bad feeling and dispelled the chill from her body.

The crystal-clear ice armor disappeared.

Lubo walked in the direction where Giss Egg had been.

Based on the sensed presence, it stopped at a certain location, looked down and saw a pit below, and inside the pit was the unconscious Gith Egg.

Lu Bao: "!"

Lubo quickly used its tail to lift the egg from the pit, and then the gem on its forehead emitted a faint blue light that shone on its body.

Before long, the pale blue light dissipated.

Giss Egg slowly opened its eyes.

"Hyotei".

Lu Bao called out apologetically.

Giss Egg looked at it.

The next second, her mouth twitched, and tears instantly streamed from her eyes.

"Gis!"

"Gis!"

Giss rolled on the ground and burst into tears.

Lu Bao: "..."

……

The open space surrounding the villa.

“Little Treasure Hunter, now it’s time to test your new skills and traits and see what they’ve awakened,” Qiao Sang said.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded.

Just as it was about to sense it, Josang said again:

"Gangbao, why don't you have a match with Xiaoxunbao?"

“Steel Power.” Steel Treasure nodded.

"Search?"

Little Treasure Hunter was startled and quickly cried out.

Weren't we supposed to try out the newly awakened skills and traits? Why are we in battle now?

"Because of your newly awakened traits and some skills that can only be manifested in battle..." Josang said, "Some traits can only be known in battle. Your mutual destruction, cursed body, and cursed body are all like this."

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter had no way to refute this.

It looked at Steel Treasure, uncontrollably recalling its complete form and the way it pulled out all its wings.

Little Treasure Hunter stopped reminiscing, opened its mouth, and was about to say that it might be better to let it try to use its special characteristics and skills on its own first.

"Ya Ya!"

However, at that moment, Toothpick barked, indicating that it wanted to have a battle with Little Treasure Hunter.

"Search!"

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter immediately perked up and barked, indicating that it would fight Steel Treasure right away.

After saying that, he teleported high in the sky, beckoned to Steel Treasure with his short toe, and called out:
"Search!"

Come on!

"Go," Qiao Sang said in her mind.

"Steel Power".

Steel Baby cried out, flapped its wings, and flew into the sky.

"Ya?"

Seeing this, Ya Bao looked confused and called out, as if to say, "Does Little Treasure Hunter not want to fight me?"

What do you think? Even you noticed… Qiao Sang pretended to think for a moment, then said:
"I think so. It's probably because it thinks you're too strong. You know, Little Treasure Hunter has always been afraid of pain."

"Tooth."

Ya Bao sighed and called out with concern, indicating that Xiao Xunbao's behavior wouldn't do. If he didn't dare to fight against opponents stronger than himself, how could he participate in the competition?

"If it were a real competition, it would definitely dare to go up," Qiao Sang said with a smile, looking at the inky black figure high in the sky.

"Tooth."

Ya Bao nodded.

It seems that's indeed the case.

High in the sky, Steel Treasure spread its wings, and countless purple feathers instantly swept from its body like sharp blades towards the direction where Little Treasure was. Little Treasure vanished in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a black hole appeared behind Steel Treasure's head, from which a small black claw emerged.

At the same time, a black energy ball with a diameter of about five meters instantly condensed on its claw.

Steelbao seemed to sense the danger and manipulated countless purple blades to sweep towards its rear.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a black energy ball with a diameter of five meters struck Steel Treasure precisely.

Countless purple blades also gathered around the black hole.

The shockwave, carrying black energy, spread in all directions.

Once the commotion subsided, Gangbao's unharmed figure was revealed.

At the same time, a black hole appeared out of nowhere a few hundred meters away, and Xiao Xunbao's figure floated out from it, completely unharmed.

Steel Treasure and Little Treasure seeker stared at each other.

Then, with a flap of its wings, it flew high into the sky, while the other disappeared into a black hole that appeared out of nowhere.

Time flew by, and after nearly an hour of playing, Qiao Sang finally couldn't help but shout:

"Wait first!"

Gangbao stopped what he was doing and looked over.

"Search?"

Little Treasure Hunter teleported to a closer location and called out, indicating what was wrong.
“I think if you want to test your characteristics more quickly, it would be better to stand still and let Steelball attack you,” Josan said.

To be honest, she really didn't expect it to last this long. She thought that Little Treasure Hunter would be attacked soon and its special ability would be activated, or that it would activate new skills in the high-pressure battle environment.

As a result, Xiao Xunbao's actions were too strange. After so long, Gangbao hadn't been able to land a single hit, let alone bring Xiao Xunbao to the brink of his limit and trigger his life-saving ability.

Of course, this is related to Steelbao holding back.

Steel Treasure was attacked many times, but because of its strong defense, Little Treasure Hunt didn't go all out. After fighting for nearly an hour, it didn't suffer any injuries.

If they keep fighting like this, they'll probably run out of energy, and Little Treasure Hunt won't be able to activate any special features or skills.

"Search?"

Little Treasure Hunter took a step back, his eyes wide, seemingly unable to believe his ears, and cried out.

Am I supposed to just stand there and take the beating?

Steel Treasure, having synchronized his thoughts with those of his Beastmaster, remained silent.

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement.

"Search?"

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter exclaimed twice in disbelief.

Why? It believes that even without standing still and taking hits, it can still unleash its special abilities and skills!

“Don’t forget that a property like mutual destruction takes an hour to activate, and you didn’t take a single hit. How would you activate a similar property?” Qiao Sang said.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao appeared and nodded in agreement, "That's right."

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter wanted to try to refute again.

At this moment, Steel Bao calmly called out twice:

"Steel Power".

"Steel Power".

Boss, the match is about to be broadcast live across the entire galaxy. It's better to activate the new abilities you've awakened as soon as possible, so you'll have a better chance of winning.

Live broadcast across the entire galaxy… Little Treasure Hunter heard the keyword, took a deep breath, teleported in front of Steel Treasure, closed his eyes, and shouted:
"Search!"

come on!

"Activate Life-Borrowing first. This trait can only be activated when your own condition is about to reach its limit. Don't hold back, lest Little Treasure Seeker suffer again," Qiao Sang said in his mind.

"Steel Power," Steel Treasure responded in his mind, and then his size slowly increased.

Little Treasure sensed something, opened one eye, and when it saw Steel Treasure growing larger, both eyes widened instantly.

Once its body had fully recovered, Steel Treasure flapped its wings and transformed into a streak of purple light, soaring into the sky.

Then, like a purple meteorite, it suddenly plummeted from the clouds.

Little Treasure Hunter: "!!!"

A black hole appeared out of thin air in front of Xiao Xunbao.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Sang immediately shouted, "Don't forget to broadcast it live across the entire intergalactic space!"

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter fell silent.

It neither spoke nor moved; the black hole in front of it simply vanished.

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, the purple meteorite crashed to the ground, creating a massive crater.

Hopefully, the little treasure hunter can be activated directly, otherwise I'll have to attack a second time... Qiao Sang thought to herself, enduring the pain.

It's one thing to not want to trigger the Life-Borrowing trait in the competition, but it's another to understand it. Her previous understanding of this trait came from that interstellar news article: what is the activation rate of S-level Life-Borrowing, how wide is the range of influence, and how long can the Life-Borrowing recovery state be maintained? She had to understand all of these things in advance.

After all, borrowing life is a special ability, and whether it is activated or not is passive and uncontrollable... As Qiao Sang thought about this, he looked in the direction where the steel treasure had crashed down in the distance, and suddenly sat down cross-legged.

If I were to have my life stolen, I probably wouldn't be in this position face down...

In the giant crater, Steel Treasure swayed, flapped its wings, and flew out, looking severely injured.

"Didn't it work...?" Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Search?"

In a flash of thought, Little Treasure Hunter suddenly floated out of the giant pit, looked down at himself, touched himself, and his eyes lit up, revealing an expression of "how amazing".

"Great, it worked! And it wasn't me whose life was borrowed..." Josang felt the pain disappear and smiled, saying, "It seems the new characteristic has been activated..."

Before he could finish speaking, a hurried voice suddenly reached his ears from afar:

"Spray spray!"

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, a bad feeling suddenly creeping into her heart. She quickly stood up and said, "Let's go back first."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter wanted to say something, but seeing his beast tamer's somewhat serious expression, he swallowed back what he was about to say, his eyes gleaming with blue light.

The next second, Qiao Sang appeared in the villa's living room.

On the ground, Teacher Michaela was lying face down.

Penjami stood to the side, looking anxious.

The usually melancholic Jiu Bugu revealed a murderous aura, his eyes gleaming with purple light as he warily surveyed his surroundings.

The Dragon King's aura had completely dissipated. It looked at Qiao Sang and called out in an extremely serious tone:
"Grind."

There is an enemy attack.

"Xunxun?!"

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter's eyes widened instantly, and he looked around.

The enemy? Where are they?!
Qiao Sang: "..."

Honestly, based on the timing of Little Treasure Hunt rising from the giant pit and the sound made by Penjami, as well as Teacher Michaela's face-down position, she could almost conclude that Teacher Michaela was the victim of Little Treasure Hunt's life-borrowing this time...

She truly hadn't expected that the scope of Little Treasure Hunter's life-saving ability would be so vast...

"Lu..." Qiao Sang felt a little guilty and avoided the Dragon King's gaze, subconsciously turning her head to ask Lu Bao for help with the treatment.

However, she stopped after saying only one word.

I almost forgot, Lu Bao has already left...

I wonder what Lu Bao is doing now...

……

at the same time.

Amidst the lush greenery, Lu Bao sneezed.

It frowned, and then the gem on its forehead emitted a faint blue light that enveloped it.

Before long, the eerie blue light disappeared, and Lu Bao checked her body.

At this moment, Gisso, standing nearby, let out a calm cry:
“Gis”.

It's hungry.

"Hyotei".

Lu Bao gestured with her eyes towards the package and called out, indicating that the food was there and that everyone could take everything except the energy pills.

“Gis”.

Giss Egg shook its head calmly and let out a cry.

It already checked this morning, and it doesn't like any of the food there. Could you get me something to eat?

Lu Bao: "..." (End of Chapter)
