Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 647: Second Eruption

The tourists who had been drawn in by the battle were suddenly stunned when they saw a mysterious pet beast appear above the volcano’s crater, quickly shifting their attention.

"Why did it teleport to the volcano?"

"It seems like this pet beast's target was Kotea Volcano from the start!"

"What’s it doing there?"

"I know a little about this! I heard Kotea Volcano erupts at night and spews out a rare material. Maybe it’s after that?"

"Isn’t it all just lava? Where’s the rare material coming from?"

"I have no idea."

At that moment, a slightly raspy voice spoke up:

"Just now, a girl over there shouted 'Teleport,' and then that pet beast really teleported. Do you think she’s its Beastmaster?"

More than one person had heard the voice earlier.

Immediately, some tourists chimed in:

"I heard it too!"

"Me too!"

"I think it was that black-haired girl with a backpack, she looks like she’s from Dragon Nation!" A tourist pointed in her direction.

Many curious and envious gazes turned toward the girl, who was staring at the volcano crater.

"How... how did she make her pet beast teleport there?" McCarthy was dumbfounded.

This move would surely attract the officials’ attention to the crater!

How was he supposed to sneak the Lava Beast in now?!

"Ignore it."

Fleur analyzed the situation and said, "Someone else has already made a move. Just remove the Lava Beast’s identity bracelet. The officials won’t notice a pet without an identity tag, and they’re already preoccupied with other matters."

McCarthy thought about it and nodded.

"Got it."

---

Above the crater.

"Yap?"

Yabao tilted his head, looking confused.

At the same time, Qiao Sang was completely bewildered.

Why hadn’t Yabao evolved?

Wait a minute, hadn’t she maxed out his evolution points?

Realizing this, she was about to check her Beast Codex when-

A slightly familiar voice called out from above:

"Is that teleporting pet beast yours?"

Qiao Sang looked up.

She recognized the speaker as the official who had warned her earlier to retreat 200 meters for safety.

Her heart tensed. She recalled the conversation between the two people earlier, who had said the officials were here not just to protect tourists but also to prevent anyone from taking the mysterious lava.

Might as well just come clean.

After all, she needed the volcano for Yabao’s evolution, it was a major matter for a pet beast. Even if the officials questioned her, she had a valid reason.

She did want the Ghostfire Essence, but she hadn't taken any yet.

"Yes, it’s mine." Qiao Sang nodded.

"Don’t you know that when the volcano erupts, no one and no pet beasts are allowed near it?" The man frowned.

Qiao Sang feigned a surprised expression.

"Oh, it’s my first time here. I didn’t know about that rule."

What kind of guardian lets their kid wander around like this…? The man, recalling how she was holding her pet earlier, had no doubts about her sincerity. He sternly said, "When the volcano erupts, pet beasts are forbidden from getting close. Call it back immediately."

Qiao Sang opened her mouth, about to explain that Yabao needed to be near the volcano for its evolution-

But before she could finish a sentence, a black Shadow Ball suddenly struck the Sharp-Beaked Firebird from the side!

A purple figure appeared before the Firebird, swiftly raising its claws and slashing down.

The speed was so fast that the Firebird couldn't react, it let out a miserable cry before plummeting down.

"Shadow Control."

Seeing the man also falling, Qiao Sang quickly commanded, "Xun xun!"

Little Treasure extended his short toes, summoning a shadowy ribbon from the ground. The dark tendrils shot forward, wrapping around the man’s ankle and pulling him back.

The man barely spent a second on the ground before flipping over and summoning his Firebird back with a quick hand gesture.

"Thanks." His gaze toward Qiao Sang was complicated.

He had never imagined that one day, he would be saved by a child.

Qiao Sang ignored him, focusing instead on the purple pet beast before her.

The black ghost-type pet beast was still fighting in the sky. But this one was different, it was another ghost-type pet beast…

Qiao Sang immediately became alert and was about to order Little Treasure to attack-

But unexpectedly, the purple pet beast merely glanced at her before turning and floating toward the battle above.

Qiao Sang: ???

Not far away, a woman with a high-collared coat covering most of her face frowned in confusion.

She had seen the man talking to the girl earlier. The girl had a ghost-type pet and had even let another of her pets make the first move, wasn't she supposed to be on their side?

Why would she help an official?

Had she miscalculated?

Qiao Sang had no idea that the other side had attacked with the intention of helping her. She refocused on Yabao.

Yabao was still hovering over the crater, staring blankly downward.

Don’t tell me he’s thinking about jumping in…

A chill ran down Qiao Sang’s spine. She quickly attempted to enter her Beast Codex to prevent any accidents.

Just then, the man beside her spoke again:

"Call your pet beast back immediately! Our sensors indicate a high probability of a second eruption tonight. The heat will be unbearable even for fire-type pets, let alone your psychic-type pet."

As he spoke, he formed hand seals, activating a green star formation. A three-meter-tall brown eagle-like pet beast with a pale pink beak emerged.

The man climbed onto the eagle beast and said, "I’m heading to assist in battle. Summon your pet back and leave quickly."

With that, the eagle beast flapped its wings and soared toward the battlefield above.

Meanwhile, at the volcano.

A three-meter-tall red pet beast with a molten rock body, black eyes, and flame-like antennae atop its head slowly emerged at the crater’s edge. It began crawling toward the bubbling lava at the center.

"Yap?"

Yabao looked at it.

"Lava."

The Lava Beast lifted its head slightly and murmured, Stay quiet. We’re on the same side.

Yabao: ???

Who are you? Since when were we on the same side?

But before Yabao could react, a force from deep within the volcano seemed to beckon it inside.

"Yap yap…"

Yabao forgot about the Lava Beast, staring at the churning lava again.

He wanted to go in…

Needed to go in…

Though the Lava Beast almost blended perfectly with the molten surroundings, Yabao’s presence still attracted attention.

Just as Yabao made a sound, someone noticed the Lava Beast.

Above, several officials still had the energy to observe the crater while fighting.

"Why is there a Lava Beast in there?"

"It doesn’t have an identity tag."

"I remember Kotea Volcano doesn’t have wild Lava Beasts."

"If it has no identity tag, it doesn’t matter. There are too many wild pet beasts to monitor."

"But…"

Before the round-faced official could continue questioning, a freezing aura swept through the air.

Dozens of eerie green ghost fires rushed toward them.

The Sharp-Beaked Firebird, sensing danger, dove downward in an elegant arc, narrowly dodging.

Distracted by the attack, the official forgot what he was about to say.

"Are you okay?" A man in a black combat uniform flew over, asking.

"I’m fine."

The official replied, then asked, "Did you capture the suspect?"

"It was just a kid, she’s not with them. It’s her first time here, and she didn’t know the rules. I told her to recall her pet."

Hearing this, the round-faced official said nothing more.

Elsewhere.

Fleur and McCarthy hid in the shadows, watching.

Seeing the officials distracted, McCarthy grinned.

"You’re smart. Perfect timing."

Fleur exhaled in relief as the Lava Beast disappeared into the crater.

"Now I just hope there’s Ghostfire Essence down there."

"Relax." McCarthy said, still watching.

"With two eruptions tonight, the chances are high… Oh, my God!"

His face twisted in shock.

"That pet beast just jumped in too?!"

Fleur was equally stunned.

The pet beast that had taken the lead to attract the attention of the officials had just charged headfirst into the volcano!

Wasn't that a Psychic-type pet beast?

This volcano had just erupted!

Even Fire-type pet beasts couldn't withstand the temperature at this moment!

Fleur suddenly thought of something and abruptly turned to look at the girl in the distance.

After seeing the girl’s expression, Fleur was dumbfounded.

Why was she ignoring her pet beast and closing her eyes?

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

Fleur immediately forgot about the girl and fixed his gaze on the Kotea Volcano.

He understood, the volcano was about to erupt again.

Level: Advanced (100000/100000) +

The moment Yabao charged into the volcano, Qiao Sang had a strange premonition, she wasn’t particularly surprised.

Yabao had been staring blankly at the volcano for a while, and she had already sensed that something was off.

Qiao Sang didn’t waste a single second and immediately entered the Beast Taming Codex.

The species name of [Fire Qilu] had stabilized significantly compared to before, but it was still flickering.

Qiao Sang ignored that and frantically added points.

The moment the level data maxed out, [Fire Qilu] shone brightly!

The blinding light almost made Qiao Sang go blind.

She opened her eyes, and her consciousness returned to reality.

---

At the heart of the volcano.

A Lava Beast that had just collected some Ghostfire Essence was caught off guard by the sudden eruption and was blasted upward along with the magma.

The terrifying, overwhelming magma surged skyward like a tidal wave.

Before losing consciousness, the Lava Beast seemed to see a streak of white light.

"Yap yap…"

As the white light faded, the transformed Yabao suddenly sensed something.

Looking upward, he spotted the unconscious Lava Beast.

He remembered, this guy had claimed to be on his side…

"Yap!"

With a powerful flap of his massive wings, Yabao stopped stabilizing himself. Instead, he harnessed the force of the erupting magma, turning into a fiery streak and shooting straight up!

As he passed by the Lava Beast, he grabbed it effortlessly.

---

Around the crater, most of the tourists were drawn back by the second volcanic eruption.

Even the officials engaged in battle had to stop fighting.

Many people had seen the mysterious pet beast charge into the volcano.

"It's over, it's over! I didn't even get to learn its name before it was gone."

"Is it crazy? Why did it charge into the volcano?!"

"How would I know?!"

"Holy-! What… what kind of pet beast is that?!"

The scorching magma erupted like hellfire from the gates of the underworld, consuming everything in its path.

But amid the apocalyptic scene, a massive six-meter-tall, flame-winged red figure burst forth from the molten sea!

Its imposing presence made almost everyone freeze in shock.

This was yet another pet beast they had never seen before!

"Yabao…"

Only Qiao Sang recognized it at a glance, this was her Yabao.
