Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 1783 - 106: Another World

Fertile Forest.

Gangbao flew high in the sky, flapping its wings as it went.

The wild wind blew away.

Qingbao occasionally merged into the wind, controlling its direction, dispersing the mist around them.

The mist churned, and the scene ahead became clear.

After about three seconds, the white mist once again eerily surged back.

Qiao Sang weaved through the jungle along the briefly clear path.

After walking like this for over ten minutes, she suddenly stopped.

Gangbao also stopped in its tracks.

"Xun Xun?"

Little Treasure Spirit, who was flitting through the white mist, floated back to its Beast Tamer, calling out, wondering why they suddenly stopped.

"I feel something’s strange," Qiao Sang said.

"Qingqing?" Qingbao floated over, curiously calling out.

What’s strange?

"Don’t you guys think this mist isn’t behaving like normal mist, returning way too quickly?" Qiao Sang said.

Gangbao’s wild wind, combined with Qingbao’s wind control, could always clear the mist within a hundred meters, and sometimes, when Gangbao exerted a bit more force, it could even blow away the white mist within a kilometer.

No matter how large the cleared area was, it would nearly always surge back within about three seconds, obscuring everything around them again, unlike normal mist behaviors, making it quite eerie.

"Ya Ya!"

Hearing their Beast Tamer’s words, Yaobao seemed to understand something and immediately displayed a vigilant expression, surveying the surroundings.

Just having returned to the backpack, Lubao quietly poked its head out again.

"Ting Ting..."

Little Ting Dragon hadn’t quite caught on to Qiao Sang’s words, instead watching Lubao poke its head out of the backpack, with a hesitating expression.

Qiao Sang continued:

"Yaobao, Little Treasure Spirit, use your spiritual power to see if there’s anything unusual about this place."

Pet Beasts of the Psychic Series generally possess spiritual power superior to other same-level Pet Beasts, and by the King Level, they can directly sense everything around them with their spiritual power. Little Treasure Spirit usually uses spiritual power to sense its location for positioning.

Though Yaobao cannot perform Spatial Movement, it is still capable of using its spiritual power to sense its surroundings.

"Ya Ya!"

"Xun Xun~"

Yaobao and Little Treasure Spirit called out, their eyes glowing blue.

"Ya Ya..."

"Xun Xun~"

A few seconds later, the blue light in the eyes of Yaobao and Little Treasure Spirit faded, and they shook their heads, indicating nothing was there.

Nothing at all... Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are there any Pet Beasts nearby?"

"Ya Ya..." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Xun Xun~"

Yaobao and Little Treasure Spirit shook their heads again, indicating no.

No Pet Beasts either... Qiao Sang fell into thought.

According to the mysterious old man, due to the persistent surrounding mist, Pet Beasts get lost inside easily, thus seldom venture in, yet there shouldn’t be none at all.

Perhaps she was overthinking it; with the small size of Pet Beasts, Yaobao and Little Treasure Spirit’s broad sensing might not have detected them, which is entirely possible...

Gathering her thoughts, Qiao Sang said:

"Forget it, let’s keep going."

...

At the same time, within the white mist, pairs of eyes of different colors and shapes were tightly watching Qiao Sang and Yaobao’s movements.

In the Fertile Forest, there seemed to be another world, where the surrounding scenery shifted from dense, white mist into a landscape lush with colorful flowers and greenery, brimming with boundless vitality.

On the trees, among the flowers, on the meadows, in the air, Pet Beasts that could draw masses of onlookers and screams outside were everywhere.

Mid-air, a screen of condensed energy was suspended, upon which played footage of Qiao Sang and Yaobao’s activities in the Fertile Forest.

"Ningning."

A predominantly blue, horse-like Pet Beast with white wings turned to a nearby fog-formed Pet Beast about a meter tall, calling out.

"Wuwu..."

The fog-formed Pet Beast appeared embarrassed, scratching its head, then brought its paws together, channeling energy.

...

In the woods, Qiao Sang suddenly halted again.

"Ya Ya?"

Seeing this, Yaobao also stopped and called out, indicating what was wrong?

"Gang Chief."

Before Qiao Sang could reply, Gangbao surveyed the surroundings with a serious expression, calling out that the time the mist was taking to return had changed.

"That’s right." Qiao Sang nodded, saying, "If it was previously around three seconds, now it’s about ten seconds, the time has gotten much longer."

"Ya Ya?"

Yaobao displayed a bewildered expression.

Does it matter?

Qiao Sang said gravely:

"For the past ten minutes or so, the mist always returned in about three seconds, but after I raised the issue, the time suddenly extended to ten seconds, don’t you think this matter is quite serious?"

"Ya Ya..."

Yaobao tried to fathom the gravity of the issue.

"Xun Xun!"

Little Treasure Spirit seemed to realize something, showing a horrified expression, and called out.

Could this mist be conscious!

Mist? Conscious? Yaobao tried once more to digest.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao’s eyes showed a hint of excitement, but it quickly restrained itself, showing a worried expression, and floated over to its Beast Tamer’s side, calling out that this was terrifying, what should they do?

"Let’s get out first." Qiao Sang decided promptly.

Ah? Qingbao was dumbfounded; that wasn’t the answer it wanted.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Spirit’s horrified expression turned to disappointment, indicating shouldn’t we play a little longer?

The conscious mist was frightening, sure, but with Brother Yaobao and Lubao by its side, it still felt quite secure.

...

In the same area, another world.

"Gaogao."

A predominantly pink, cat-like Pet Beast looked at the fog-formed Pet Beast with disdain.

"Wuwu..."

The fog-formed Pet Beast displayed a dejected expression.

"Ningning."

The horse-like Pet Beast with white wings comforting called out, it indicated it was alright, the human was about to leave anyway.

"Wuwu."

The fog-formed Pet Beast gathered its spirits.

"Juju!"

Suddenly, a spectacled Pet Beast, predominantly white, with eyebrows drooping low, appearing very old, looked at one figure on the screen, called seriously.

All the Pet Beasts looked over.

"Kuikui."

The Pet Beast completely covered in golden armor with no visible form inside glanced at the screen then took up a list and quickly skimmed through it, shaking its head, indicating that figure wasn’t on the list.

"Juju!"

The Pet Beast with drooping eyebrows seriously called out that it was certain about its sense.

All the Pet Beasts exchanged glances, unsure what to do.

The fog-formed Pet Beast hesitated a lot.

"Xiaxia."

Then, a young voice sounded.

All the Pet Beasts looked at the speaking Pet Beast and nodded in agreement.

"Wuwu."

The fog-formed Pet Beast no longer hesitated, nodded, and brought its paws together, channeling energy.

...

Elsewhere.

"I’ll go back to check what’s going on and come back tomorrow," Qiao Sang said cautiously.

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit showed a "then fine" expression, its eyes glowing blue.

Yet at that very moment, the surrounding mist suddenly surged wildly, seeming to engulf Qiao Sang and Yaobao within it.

"Gangbao! Qingbao!" Qiao Sang called.

"Gang Chief." Gangbao’s voice followed.

Then, a fierce wind arose.

The white mist again dispersed with the wind.

Qiao Sang suddenly realized something was wrong and looked around.

Where’s Qingbao?!
