Beast Taming Starts from Zero

"Xiaxia."

Xia Lala's face turned purple, and she trembled.

Lu Bao glanced at it, and the gem on its forehead suddenly shone with a faint blue light, illuminating its body.

"Xiaxia."

Xia Lala stopped shaking and showed a comfortable expression.

Once the eerie blue light disappeared, its complexion returned to normal, and it was fully recovered.

"Xia Xia!"

Xia Lala sensed her own state, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Lu Bao and exclaimed, "You're amazing!"

Lu Bao's expression remained unchanged, but she looked around, her ears twitched, then she breathed a sigh of relief and called out:
"Ice Saint".

We should be safe now; the guy who was following us hasn't caught up.

"Xia Xia?"

Xia Lala looked around with a curious expression and called out.

Where are we now?
"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao let out a calm bark, indicating that it didn't know either.

After saying that, he walked forward.

"Xia Xia?"

Xia Lala quickly followed and called out.

Where are we going now?

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao called out.

I don't know, I'll just take it one step at a time.

Two small figures walked forward in the snow and ice.

"Gurgle."

Suddenly, my stomach started growling.

Lu Bao looked at Xia Lala.

"Xiaxia."

Sharara looked embarrassed and meowed, indicating that she was hungry.

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao calmly called out, indicating that we should go find something to eat first.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Lala nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.

Lu Bao walked forward, and Xia Lala quickly followed.

The two small figures gradually shrank and disappeared into the snow and ice.

In temperatures around minus forty degrees Celsius, the surrounding greenery was bent under the weight of thick snow, and the river was frozen into a solid ice path. Apart from ice-type pets, scattered people and pets were all wrapped in heavy clothes as they walked across the icy river.

After walking a little further, streets and houses covered with thick snow appeared, and there were more people and animals.

When Lu Bao saw the sudden increase in the number of humans, she subconsciously frowned and stopped in her tracks.

Xia Lala sniffed the air and, following a rich aroma, spotted a food shop.

"Xia Xia."

It looked at Lu Bao, its eyes full of anticipation, and pointed to the shop where a rich aroma was wafting out.

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao glanced at the restaurant, called out, and said, "Wait here for me, don't let the humans find us."

After saying this, a drop of water dripped from the tip of its tail, ready to merge into it.

However, the moment the water droplet hit the ground, a chill swept over it, and the droplet instantly froze into ice.

Lu Bao stared at the frozen water droplets and fell silent.

"Xia Xia?"

Xia Lala exclaimed curiously, indicating why it couldn't be discovered by humans.

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao acted as if nothing had happened and calmly gave her answer.

If they are discovered, they could be captured by humans.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Lala looked shocked and exclaimed, "How could this be?" as if asking, "Are humans really that bad?"
Lu Bao was about to nod, but a voice deep inside told it that wasn't true. It was silent for two seconds, then barked:
"Ice Saint".

Not all humans, but there are still many bad humans.

"Xia Xia."

Sharara nodded with a serious expression, indicating that she understood and would wait for her here without being discovered by humans.

After saying that, it floated to the wall of a building, raised and bent its two claws, transforming into the shape of a flower, as if it had grown out of the ground.

Lu Bao watched it quietly.

After staring at it for three seconds, the flower suddenly made a "gurgling" sound. Then, the blooming flower opened its eyes and cried out:
"Xia Xia."

Go ahead, don't worry about me, I'll wait for you here.

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao barked once to indicate that she understood, and then another drop of water dripped from the end of one of her tails.

A chill swept in, and the water droplets froze into ice the instant they hit the ground.

Lu Bao: "."

After waiting a while, Xia Lala couldn't help but open her eyes again and call out:
"Xia Xia?"

Aren't you going yet?
Lu Bao's body stiffened slightly, but she quickly recovered and called out:
"Ice Saint".

It goes now.

With that, he turned and ran toward the restaurant that was emitting a rich aroma.

Lu Bao first ran to the side of the shop steps to hide, looking around to make sure no one or any pets were looking at her before quickly running into the shop.

The moment it entered, the shop owner, the staff, and the customers sitting and eating all looked over, their expressions filled with amazement.

Lu Bao's body suddenly stiffened, and then she tightened her claws, assuming a posture ready to attack at any moment.

At this moment, the shop owner asked warmly, "What do you want to buy?"

Lu Bao's body stiffened again, silently withdrawing her attack stance, and she called out:
"Ice Saint".

The shopkeeper said, "I don't understand. Where is your beast tamer? Or do you have a note with you?"

The weather in Novorovo is cold, and some beast tamers are afraid of the cold and don't want to go out. So they write down what they need on a piece of paper and give it to their pet to run the errand.

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao barked once, indicating that it did not have a beast tamer.

As it said this, for some reason, it felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

The boss sighed and said, "I've already told you, but I don't understand."

A man at the next table, with a blue wolf-like pet beside him, a thick beard, and who looked to be about thirty years old, suddenly spoke up:

"It says it has no beast tamer."

Everyone in the shop immediately looked at Lu Bao again, their eyes shining with a strange light, as if they had suddenly learned that the goddess they always thought was taken was actually single.

Someone enthusiastically said, "What do you want to eat? It's on me!"

The surrounding customers began to speak up:
"Have you ever considered becoming a contracted beast tamer?"

"My granddaughter is a beast tamer. Make a contract with her. She'll definitely like you when she sees you. Once the contract is successful, I'll take care of all your meals from now on!"

"Why can't the pet identification device recognize you? Are you a pet from the neighboring Ice Kingdom?"

“Ice Saint.” All the humans were looking at her and talking to her. Lu Bao subconsciously took a step back, revealing a wary expression.

The bearded man who had helped with the translation stood up, smiled confidently, and said, "Who here is more qualified than me to form a contract with it? I am a C-level Beast Tamer. Is there anyone among you, or in your family, who is of a higher level than me?"

Nodongvi is a small country, and a C-level beast tamer is considered a very powerful being in this country.

Although the people around him were dissatisfied, they all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound when they thought that the other party was a C-level Beast Tamer and looked at the high-level pet beast Ice Desert Wolf beside him.

Seeing this, the bearded man revealed a satisfied expression, then looked at the obviously rare ice-type pet at the door and said:

"Although I don't have a new contract page to form a contract with you yet, don't worry. With my talent, I'll awaken a new contract page sooner or later and become a B-rank Beastmaster. Come back with me, and I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."

"Ice Saint."

As Lu Bao looked at him, a visible chill gradually emanated from her body.

Despite the language barrier, the man could tell that this incredibly beautiful and rare ice-type pet didn't want to form a contract with him. He called out:
"Desert Wolf".

"Ice Desert".

The Ice Desert Wolf leaped out, looking down at Lu Bao.

"I don't want to fight. You don't have a Beast Tamer, so forming a contract with me is your best option." The man's tone was calm, but his expression was full of confidence and pride.

No one around dared to intervene, partly because they didn't dare, and partly because it was common practice in their country to use force to coerce pets into signing contracts if they disagreed.

"Well, have you made up your mind?" the man asked.

Lu Bao stared at him coldly, saying nothing, but a chilling aura suddenly emanated from her.

A chill spread, and the bearded man and the Ice Desert Wolf maintained their superior positions, their bodies crackling as a thick layer of ice solidified, turning them into ice sculptures, frozen in place.

The store fell silent instantly.

The customers stared in horror at the incredibly beautiful ice-type pet, unable to believe that it was so powerful. It seemed like it hadn't used any skills at all, yet it had frozen a C-level beast tamer and a high-level ice-type pet!

A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Bao's face; she seemed not to have expected herself to be so powerful.

It looked at the frozen humans and pets in front of it, and then at the humans around it who looked terrified and frightened. Suddenly, a warm voice flashed through its mind: "In the end, it's because you're too weak. If you were stronger than him, do you think you would still need to hide from him? Although you are rare, if he encounters a legendary divine beast, who do you think should be the one to run away?"

"I have a way to make you stronger, but I don't know if you're willing."

Lu Bao looked bewildered.

Who said these things?
Why do I have absolutely no recollection of it?

In the blink of an eye, the owner, who had somehow already packed the food, handed over the bag with trembling hands, saying cautiously:

"Here, these are the best dishes in our shop."

Lu Bao put away her confused expression, looked at the bag, smelled the fragrance inside, flicked her tail, grabbed it, and quickly ran outside, leaving the store.

The owner and the customers breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Someone said, "This is not a wild pet at all. Didn't you see? It has a miniature shrinking bracelet and an identity bracelet on its body. Only pets that have formed a contract with a beast tamer have identity bracelets!"

Upon hearing this, other customers chimed in, and the scene suddenly became noisy.

"I told you it didn't look like a wild pet; it was too luxurious. You could tell at a glance that it had been well-bred."

"What's wrong with its beast tamer? Could it be that he doesn't want to pay, so he sent his pet beast over?"

"If someone can afford to contract such a pet, why would they wear such an expensive miniature shrinking bracelet?"

"How could it not be? Let me tell you, the richer people are these days, the stingier they are."

“The situation is different in every country. That pet was clearly not from our country. I’ve heard that some countries also require wild pets to wear identification bracelets.”

"What kind of pet is this? It's incredibly powerful!"

As Lu Bao heard the increasingly faint voices inside, she gradually slowed down her running speed, looked at the two bracelets on her paws, and once again showed a confused expression.

Where did these two things come from?

Who was that voice in my head just now?

Could it be that it really made a pact with humans?
impossible.
Just then, a "gurgling" sound reached her ears from not far away. Lu Bao immediately snapped out of her thoughts and ran towards Xia Lala's direction.

"Xia Xia!"

Xia Lala looked at Lu Bao running towards her and showed a happy expression. The leaves on both sides moved and returned to their original form.

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao stopped in front of it and handed it the bag on its tail.

Xia Lala took the bag, opened it, and eagerly took out the food inside and stuffed it into her mouth, eating it in big mouthfuls.

"Xia Xia!"

As it ate, its eyes curved into crescent moons, revealing a smile.

After they had almost finished eating all the food, a "glug" sound suddenly rang out.

Sharara stopped eating, looked at Lu Bao's stomach, and then understood what was happening. She quickly handed over the remaining food she was holding in her paws.

"Xia Xia."

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao called out calmly, indicating that I was not to be bothered.

No sooner had he finished speaking than another "gurgling" sound rang out.

"Xia Xia!"

Sharara pushed the food in her paw forward again.

Lu Bao glanced at Xia Lala, then at the food, and finally stretched out her paw, took it, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Xia Xia?"

Xia Lala's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she called out, "What are we having for dinner?"
Lu Bao froze, swallowed the food in her mouth, and called out:
"Ice Saint".

It has no money, and there doesn't seem to be any place where fruit trees grow.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Lala was taken aback at first, then looked around and exclaimed, "We can go make money!"

"Ice Saint?"

Lu Bao looked at Xia Lala.

make money?

The next morning, on the balcony of a simply decorated hotel room, Qiao Sang sat cross-legged on the floor, frozen solid, like an ice sculpture.

Last night, she chose a beast tamer with a high level of proficiency in ice-type skills and a high-level ice-type pet to freeze her.

"Teeth."

Inside the room, Ya Bao looked at his beast tamer with a worried expression.

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure noticed Ya Treasure's worry and barked to indicate that she was alright; it had the power of bonds and could sense her presence.

Upon hearing this, Ya Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, it remembered something and cried out:
"Teeth?"

How long will our own beast tamer be frozen like this?

"Steel Power".

Gangbao shouted, indicating that she would freeze it for as long as she said it could.

"Search."

Little Treasure Hunter looked at its Beastmaster's frozen figure and cried out, indicating that it absolutely had to be frozen until its brain was completely broken through.
Last night, under the guidance of its beast tamer, it logged into its account. When it discovered that its followers were about to surpass 100 million, it excitedly barked. However, it soon realized that its follower count was decreasing at a visible rate, and its heart sank instantly.

These fans left because they forgot their memories!

Only when the effect of the memory brushing wears off will these fans remember them!
Little Treasure looked at her Beastmaster and wished she could use her ice-type skills to freeze her.

Unfortunately, it doesn't know any ice-type moves, so all it can do is pray silently.

"Searching, searching"

Just as he was praying, on the balcony, with a "crack," the ice shell around Josang shattered, and he stood up.

Little Treasure Hunter: "!!!" (End of Chapter)
