Chapter 107
Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 107: Chapter 103 Teleportation âIsnât that Officer Ye?â
âOfficer Ye, is this child a relative of yours?â
âOfficer Ye, I just saw your white fox, it got second place. Although quite a few looked the same in that round, yours seemed especially lively. I recognized it at first glance.â
âOfficer Ye, have you found a partner yet?â
âWhatâs the name of this little red dog of yours, Officer Ye?â
âOfficer Ye...â
...
Qitang Town was small, so small that one would bump into acquaintances just a few steps away. Qiao Sang wasnât well-known in Hangkang, being away for years, but Ye Ranran was quickly recognized by people.
It was like when elders accompany a child and encounter people they know; the adults engage in conversation while the child becomes the backdrop.
Ye Ranran answered with a smile, while Qiao Sangâs attention was on the live broadcast.
On the big screen, a tangerine-red lamp star was positioned backward opposite to the racetrack, releasing a water jet from its rear that propelled it several meters forward.
Qiao Sang secretly scoffed at the method; although it could speed up the progress, positioning backward came with numerous safety risks, as it could easily lead to collisions with other competing pet beasts.
Before long, the live broadcast on the big screen switched from the surface of the river to the underwater view.
A blue sponge salamander was seen constantly waving its two tails at 360 degrees, spinning like an activated propeller to hasten its speed.
However, it quickly tired out, and the tails finally came to a stop.
The live broadcast then made another shift.
A deep blue spiny seahorse appeared in the view.
Qiao Sang immediately understood that the broadcast was focused on pet beasts that employed unique methods of moving forward!
It made sense, though, considering a marathon is a lengthy athletic event, and continuously watching pet beasts simply running or swimming could be pretty dull.â
The spiny seahorse on the screen would use its straw-like, thin and long snout to take a deep breath every time it moved a distance, and with each deep breath, its coiled tail would unfurl.
Then, a stream of gas surged out, causing the water behind it to bubble up as if boiling.
The force of the gas propelled the spiny seahorse forward by more than a dozen meters.
Qiao Sang stared in disbelief.
Damn, it was actually using the expulsion of âgrain qiâ to increase its speed!
Who in the world thought of this method?
It was simply brilliant!
It did, however, make one feel sorry for the competing pet beasts in the rear...
Although the method seemed crude, the technology behind it was far from simple. After all, farting wasnât something one could just do on commandâ
it must have taken specialized training.
For a moment, Qiao Sang held the spiny seahorse and its Beast Tamer in high regard.
Standing there, dumbstruck, was also the Treasure-seeking Ghost. It looked at the live broadcast, feeling as if a door to a new world had opened.
Ever since seeing the spiny seahorseâs method of propulsion, Qiao Sang found the broadcast of other pet beasts somewhat bland in comparison.
Finding it uninteresting, Qiao Sang thought of her third uncleâs Howling Swamp Crocodile.
Where was the Howling Swamp Crocodile?
Why hadnât it appeared on screen for so long?
Three minutes later, the screen switched to a black inkfish.
Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then involuntarily squinted and peered closer.
This inkfish, why did it look so much like the one belonging to her third uncle?
âRanran, donât you think this inkfish looks a lot like third uncleâs?â Qiao Sang asked Ye Ranran uncertainly.
Ye Ranran, who was chatting with the auntie next to her, turned her head upon hearing this.
Seeing the inkfish on the screen using its wing-like side fins to push itself forward by releasing jets of water, she felt a sudden jolt and quickly stood up.
âAh Sang, weâre doomed!â
Although third uncle desired to be the individual champion of the marathon, it was, after all, a team relay race.
If the pet beast was not properly waiting on the racecourse for the handoff, naturally, the result would be invalidated.
Qiao Sang wasnât finished; she was the final leg.
But Ye Ranran was rather flustered and rushed over in a hurry.
...
Pingxiang Street.
The starting point for the first leg of the first racetrack is also the hand-off point for the last leg of the third racetrack.
After Qiao Sang placed the Treasure-seeking Ghost on the track, she hugged the Fire-Toothed Dog and waited to the side.
Many people around laughed and pointed at the little Treasure-seeking Ghost.
Ordinary people knew of the existence of Spectral-type Pets, but they didnât understand what Spectral-type meant in the eyes of a Beast Tamer.
Fearless are those who are ignorant; sometimes, not understanding something means not fearing it.
In their eyes, the little Treasure-seeking Ghost was just a pet beast that could leave the ground but couldnât reach the floating cloud racetrack.
The floating cloud racetrack was dozens of meters up in the air, while the little Treasure-seeking Ghost could only stay around 2 meters above the ground.
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost looked up at the competing pets far above in the sky, and, thinking of something, suddenly gripped its claws tight, its little grey face turning red with strain.
âFang?â
The Fire-Toothed Dog pointed at the little Treasure-seeking Ghost and questioned.
âIt must be thinking about how to make its movements faster,â Qiao Sang said uncertainly.
In fact, she thought its posture looked a bit like it was trying to take a big one, but she quickly dismissed the idea.
Taking a big one was impossible, after all, Spectral-type Pets have a bottomless pit inside them, as some of them can swallow anything.
Emotions, life, dreams, etc. can all become their strength.
Experts have indicated that the higher the level of the Spectral-type Pet, the more malevolent they are because their evolution is essentially based on swallowing, and not just energy at that.
...
Who knows how long it had been when a blue-and-white pet beast raced by like the wind.
The Wind Sculpture, true to its nature as a Flight Type pet beast known for speed, was the sixth to arrive for the final legâs hand-off.
It soared past the little Treasure-seeking Ghost with the relay strap, swiftly attaching it above.
Having passed on the baton, Qiao Sangâs task this time was now successfully completed.
She took out her phone to contact Ye Ranran, when suddenly, the onlookers started to stir.
âWhat is this?!â
âHow can a Spectral-type pet beast teleport!â
âIsnât it a Flight Type pet beast?â
âAm I seeing hallucinations because of the heatstroke?â
âWhose pet beast is this?â
âCould it have turned invisible and then floated forward before appearing again?â
âYou TM show me how quick you can float! If you can float like that, Iâll directly call you daddy!â
âWhatâs wrong with you? If I could float like that, you should be shouting âsave meâ!â
â...â
Qiao Sang was taken aback by the commotion. Spectral-type pet beasts?
It seemed that the Treasure-seeking Ghost from her home was the only one in the entire marathon.
Qiao Sang put down her phone and looked up at the racetrack.
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost was no longer in its original position.
At that moment, it gripped its claws tightly, its little grey face as red as when Qiao Sang first suspected it of trying to take a big one.
But in the next second, the little Treasure-seeking Ghost suddenly disappeared and reappeared out of thin air 3 meters away.
Qiao Sang: â!!!â
This is teleportation, isnât it?!
Qiao Sang was completely flustered.
Could the little Treasure-seeking Ghost teleport?
No, it couldnât! Just last night, when she was reading the Beast Taming Codex, nothing had changed, and after absorbing the Dark Elixir and waking up, there were only 40 extra points behind the level and an additional 60 points in the level of the skill Cursed Body.
Qiao Sang watched the little Treasure-seeking Ghostâs silhouette, continuously clenching its fists and teleporting, somewhat bewildered.
Is learning a skill this easy nowadays...
