Even if that canyon really was Yabao’s evolution site, going there now wouldn’t help. What she should focus on first was finding the Lele Seed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Qiao Sang resumed searching for any signs of the Lele Seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze swept around, and soon she spotted two Lele Seeds near the edge of a mountain top close to the canyon, happily gnawing on yellow fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s why they couldn’t find any Lele Seeds before, they’d just been using the wrong method to search…Qiao Sang thought wryly and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you see them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy flowed through Little Treasure’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s vision darkened for a moment, and when light returned, she found herself already standing exactly where she’d intended to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lele!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Lele Seeds froze in surprise, bit down on their fruits, and bolted to the side with remarkable speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even running, they still remembered to take the fruits with them…Qiao Sang silently complained in her heart and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are any of them yours?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she asked, she already knew the answer, probably not.No pet would run away from its own Beast master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Ruiqi shook his head in disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected… Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a glance, and Little Treasure understood. His eyes glowed faint blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 3D map of the surrounding terrain appeared in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, rustling sounds reached her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly alert, Qiao Sang broke off the mental link, opened her eyes, and turned toward the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, a few fox-like pet beasts, about ten centimeters tall, their fur bright as flame, were parting the grass and peering curiously at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she looked back, they didn’t flee in fear. Instead, their eyes gleamed with interest as they continued staring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire-tail Foxes, low-level Fire-type pet beasts. The fur on their tails was highly sought after in the fashion world. Clothes made from Fire-tail Fox fur were not only naturally soft and warm but also ageless, they could stay glossy even after decades in storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That information flashed across Qiao Sang’s mind as her gaze unconsciously drifted toward their tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are Fire-tail Foxes here?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Ruiqi exclaimed in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Central Hollow, Fire-tail Foxes were extremely popular. To get a contract for one usually required an advance reservation, they were considered rare pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his eyes also fixated on their tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered once when his parents had a huge fight. The next day, his father gifted his mother a scarf made from Fire-tail Fox fur. They reconciled instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire-tail Foxes, noticing the humans’ gaze fixed on their tails, became tense and wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huowei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the foxes took a step back, its tail stiffening as it cried out sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t tell me it’s calling its parents…Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gang Zhan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had she thought that than Gangbao’s voice rang in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really is calling its parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Gangbao, her look clearly saying,Compared to the parent that hasn’t even shown up yet, you look way more terrifying right now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gang Zhan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gangbao flapped her wings helplessly, as if to say she didn’t mean to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanwei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a deafening voice boomed like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound shook the forest, trees toppled one after another, the shockwave rolling closer and closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao rushed to Qiao Sang’s side, watching warily toward the noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a massive creature leapt out from the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huowei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huowei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small Fire-tail Foxes ran up beside the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame-tailed Fan Fox, Fire-type, General level…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked up at the towering figure, about six meters tall, its bright red tail fur thick and fanned out like a great feather fan, and exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it’s just a General-level pet beast…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lubao.” Qiao Sang called calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, when facing wild pet beasts, you didn’t have to fight at all. A simple show of overwhelming size and aura could make them retreat on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the reckless ones, or those backed by a group, would dare to attack a stronger foe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Di.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao took a step forward, her body expanding as her aura surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanwei…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flame-tailed Fan Fox’s eyes shifted from looking down, to level, to up, its tail trembled, and its mouth slowly gaped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huowei…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the smaller Fire-tail Foxes now showed clear fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Qiao Sang thought they’d retreat, another rumbling sounded in the distance, trees crashing as something enormous charged toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, more Flame-tailed Fan Foxes emerged from every direction, encircling the group completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air temperature shot up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanwei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their kin beside them, the first Flame-tailed Fan Fox regained its courage, glaring once more with hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huowei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little ones followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao glanced at the fanned, fluffy tails of the Flame-tailed Fan Foxes, unable to hide his envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five of them in total… Qiao Sang’s expression hardened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No big deal, just five of them. Senior Qiao could handle this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Ruiqi unconsciously moved closer to her for safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanwei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All five Flame-tailed Fan Foxes opened their mouths at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five roaring torrents of fire burst out, merging into a massive wave of flame that shot straight toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure had already prepared, his eyes glowed blue, and in the blink of an eye, they were teleported high into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire blast hit nothing but air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In midair, Yabao opened his mouth, a red-and-gold beam shot down, striking the center Flame-tailed Fan Fox before it could dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening explosion rang out, flames scattered as the creature screamed and was blown backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanwei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yanwei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining four did not retreat, instead, they grew even angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their tails swung in unison, sending countless flaming projectiles upward like fiery rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Ruiqi’s face paled. Even if he believed Senior Qiao could handle it, the sheer scale of the attack was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Di.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment the blazing rain was about to reach them, Lubao let out a soft call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of visible frost burst from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature plunged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each flaming projectile froze midair, encased in ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the four Flame-tailed Fan Foxes and several Fire-tail Foxes below froze solid, turned to ice sculptures where they stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, massive icicles like mountain peaks formed overhead and came crashing down upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The icy mountains shattered, fragments scattering everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about twenty seconds, the barrage ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice melted, and warmth slowly returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foxes lay unconscious on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure’s eyes flashed blue again, and the group reappeared on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Ruiqi stared at the fallen foxes, excitement in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Qiao, their tails—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, the ground gave way beneath them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blast of scorching hot air surged upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the-!” Guo Ruiqi screamed on instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla raised her head, frowning deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang cursed inwardly, but her expression stayed calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that last free fall from the sky, and the mental expansion that followed, reaching 50% brain domain development, she’d built some tolerance for sudden drops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huge boulders fell beside them, along with the unconscious foxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, several silhouettes peered down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked up, and saw them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen Fruit Sprayers stood proudly at the cliff’s edge, looking smugly downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At their center was an enormous creature, over ten meters tall, its body a dark green-brown, with a fruit tree growing from its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its expression was cold, eyes filled with disdain, as if looking at mere insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fruity Rock Decay, a tri-type King-level pet beast, Poison, Grass, and Rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was the one that broke the mountaintop… When had it gotten this close without her sensing it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s heart tightened, her muscles instinctively tensed as she took a slow, steadying breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t struggle, didn’t even consider fighting back up the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Fruit Sprayers, Fruity Rock Decay's poison could corrode even a Steel-type’s armor or a Dragon-type’s scales, leaving them unable to regenerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao was already half bald, she couldn’t bear to imagine what Lubao or Gangbao would look like if they lost their fur or scales too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Lubao had already used Ice Field Domain once during the last battle, her energy reserves were low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing another King-level opponent immediately would be risky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, Guo Ruiqi had no combat power, and Xu Gehung had been suspiciously quiet the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mission came first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to clashing head-on with a Fruity Rock Decay, falling below was actually safer… Qiao Sang reasoned calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silhouettes atop the cliff shrank to dots, then vanished from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary people, falling off a cliff happened in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for someone whose brain domain had developed 50%, that instant was enough to think through a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure screamed in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gangbao, synced with her Beast master’s mind, heard her elder brother’s cry, glanced his way, and flapped her wings, catching him mid-fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling steady again, Little Treasure exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was terrifying…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he’d calmed down, he patted Gangbao’s head proudly, as if saying,Good job, little bro!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gangbao: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing qing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingbao appeared nearby, tilting her head in confusion at Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t he able to float on his own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure stiffened awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla stayed still, confident that her student could handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Fruity Rock Decay completely disappeared from view, Qiao Sang nodded at Yabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao, noticing, shrank back to her smaller form and hopped into the backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao flapped his wings, catching everyone safely and gliding down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang glanced at the falling foxes below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingbao, catch them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing qing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingbao turned into wind and swept under the unconscious Flame-tailed Fan Foxes and Fire-tail Foxes, catching them gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they reached the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The base of the cliff was sweltering, the ground glowed red, heat rising visibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the cliff walls shimmered faintly red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No plants grew here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Qiao Sang, whose body had been strengthened by Yabao’s energy feedback, could feel the oppressive heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla looked down thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Ruiqi, whose soul had nearly left his body earlier, slowly came back to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing Senior Qiao was here…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought this, he remembered that Yabao disliked others riding on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His legs wobbled as he prepared to dismount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! Hot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his foot touched the ground, he yelped and jumped back onto Yabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao stepped lightly on the ground with his front claws, testing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked down at the glowing red surface, then at Guo Ruiqi’s still-intact shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt the heat through his shoes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Little Treasure floated down from Gangbao and touched the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he teleported fifty meters into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it really that hot…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tempted to test it herself, Qiao Sang restrained the urge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place… felt a lot like Yabao’s previous evolution site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing something, Qiao Sang turned her backpack to the front and took out Lubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A refreshing coolness washed over her, and she couldn’t help letting out a content sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So comfortable…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, Yabao was the one being hugged for warmth, now it was her turn to cool everyone down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing qing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting down the foxes, Qingbao wiped sweat from her forehead and floated beside Lubao, brushing against her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So refreshing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Little Treasure’s eyes lit up and he began drifting closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao gave him a single look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure froze midair, not daring to come closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Qiao, why did the mountain suddenly collapse earlier?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Ruiqi finally remembered to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fruity Rock Decay.” Qiao Sang said simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Ruiqi blinked, then his eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A King-level Fruity Rock Decay?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was it intentional?” He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, in that moment, Qiao Sang suddenly understood how her old vice principal must’ve felt hearing her ask stupid questions like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was avenging the Fruit Sprayers.” Mikayla replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then wouldn’t it be dangerous to go back?” Guo Ruiqi worried aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who said we’re going back?” Qiao Sang replied, nodding toward Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure teleported to her side, blinking innocently at Lubao.Hey, it’s not that I wanted to come over, Master needed me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao could only sigh wordlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, she hadn’t glared at him to keep him away earlier, he was just being too timid himself.\u003C\u002Fp>",2128,"2026-06-06T02:23:30.155Z",1,"novelbin.me","09c1f38bb499e3f467227e48fe9141946c242ff19b79500c2225043901bf03de","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-927","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-925",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
