Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 649: The Best Strategy

Lava Beasts puke blue? Qiao Sang was instantly drawn to the creature.

She couldn’t help it, the blue liquid it vomited was too conspicuous. It even glowed, like molten lava.

Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on the blue liquid on the ground, and a thought struck her, causing her pupils to contract.

This blue liquid… why does it look just like real lava?

Rather than a liquid, it was more accurate to call it a viscous substance.

Upon hitting the ground, white smoke rose from it.

Even though she wasn’t particularly close, she could still feel its terrifying heat.

Blue, high-temperature, lava-like, and from a Lava Beast… Qiao Sang’s mind worked at high speed, piecing the information together. Suddenly, she realized something, and her heartbeat quickened.

Oh wow! Could this be Ghostfire Essence?!

"Xun xun."

Little Treasure was also drawn to the blue liquid vomited by the Lava Beast.

He put down his pet identifier device and floated over, curiously peering at the blue substance, then at the still-vomiting Lava Beast, as if wondering why something coming out of a pet’s mouth looked so extraordinary.

"Yap yap."

At that moment, Yabao let out a call, indicating that he had encountered this creature near the volcano and that he was part of its group.

Part of the same group… Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang became even more convinced of her guess.

This Lava Beast was definitely not a wild pet! She hadn’t even done anything, and the Ghostfire Essence had come right to her doorstep!

Qiao Sang immediately forgot about losing her identity wristband and lightweight miniaturization bracelet. Her spirits soared, and she wanted to collect the Ghostfire Essence on the spot.

She remembered purchasing a high-temperature-resistant container from the Blue Star item shop, it would be perfect for collecting the essence.

However, just as she turned to instruct Little Treasure to retrieve the container, she felt countless eyes on her. Her rationality returned, and she realized this was not the best time to collect the Ghostfire Essence.

Her mind raced as she analyzed the situation.

There were three groups here: Tourists, Beast Masters seeking the Ghostfire essence, and Official Personnel.

Tourists could be ignored. Neither the Beast Masters nor the Officials would allow her to openly collect the Ghostfire Essence and walk away with it.

They hadn’t acted yet for two reasons: First, their attention was on Yabao;Second, they weren’t sure if Yabao was a wild pet.

Anyone who suddenly saw a powerful pet appear would hesitate before making any moves, they wouldn’t want to risk drawing its attention.

More importantly, they knew nothing about Yabao.

But seeing how he interacted with her, they would soon catch on. To ensure safety, they might even send someone over to confirm her status...

A third reason: She was too young.

Neither group likely considered her a serious threat. The Beast Masters seeking the Ghostfire Essence probably saw her as an easily deceived rookie…

The fact that they hadn’t recalled the Lava Beast immediately suggested they saw her as an ally, meaning it didn’t matter if the beast was in her hands.

Another possibility: They weren’t sure if the Lava Beast had already gathered the Ghostfire Essence, so they didn’t want to take the risk of recalling it just yet.

After all, summoning it back could expose their location.

At the moment, the Beast Tamers seeking the slurry had their ghost-type pets fighting while they remained hidden among the tourists.

But if both sides confirmed that the Lava Beast had released Ghostfire Essence, they would undoubtedly battle over it.

If she attempted to collect the essence now, she’d become the center of attention… Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on the Lava Beast, still vomiting intermittently.

She wondered how much Ghostfire Essence it had inside, would it be enough for half a pound?

If so, she had a plan…

Just as she was thinking, a loud voice shouted: "Is this your pet?!"

Everyone heard the voice, and silence fell as they waited for her answer.

Guesses were one thing, but confirmation from the person involved was better.

Qiao Sang followed the voice and saw an official personnel member, one who had spoken to her twice before.

Unlike their previous interactions, the person was now much further away, their expression and posture far more cautious.

Did they see the Lava Beast vomiting Ghostfire Essence and assume she was with the Beast Tamers who had attacked them?

Qiao Sang speculated internally but outwardly feigned ignorance. She asked, "You mean this Lava Beast?"

No, I meant that terrifying red pet over there… The man didn’t respond, which was as good as confirmation.

He was also curious about the Lava Beast’s origins. If this kid knew…

"It’s not my pet." Qiao Sang deliberately stepped aside, fully exposing the blue liquid on the ground.

"My pet brought it out of the volcano. He doesn’t know what’s wrong, it just keeps vomiting."

Confirmed, this kid’s pet. The tourists all thought the same thing.

Meanwhile, the official personnel and the Beast Tamers with ghost-type pets focused their gazes on the blue liquid.

Ghostfire Essence… Previously, some obstructions had made them uncertain, but now, they could confirm it without a doubt.

The Beast Masters’ eyes gleamed with desire.

Due to the monopolization and rarity of special materials, Beast Masters inherently craved and coveted rare materials they needed but rarely encountered.

The officials' expressions changed. They couldn’t afford to delay any longer. With a quick exchange of looks, a group of them mounted their Sharp-Beaked Firebirds and rushed toward Qiao Sang.

But just then, a whirlwind five meters wide and six meters tall suddenly erupted!

The wind howled!

The fierce whirlwind tore into the officials' ranks, forcing them to halt and scatter.

"Get out of here!" A male voice called out.

Is that directed at me? Qiao Sang clicked her tongue inwardly.

When the purple pet had attacked the official in the black jacket but not her, she had already gotten a sense of things.

These people after the Ghostfire Essence were also protecting her.

Not out of kindness, of course, just that in this situation, having an extra teammate meant extra fighting power and a better chance of getting what they wanted.

She had already planned for this. With a flick of her hand, she recalled Yabao and Gangbao into her Beast Tamers’ Codex.

Fighting the officials head-on was a losing strategy. Teaming up with them would only get her tossed aside later. The best move was to escape while neither side wanted the other to get the Ghostfire Essence!

"The ground is covered in the Lava Beast’s vomit, watch your step!"

Qiao Sang deliberately shouted, then nodded at Little Treasure and whispered, "The farthest distance."

"Xun xun~" Little Treasure's eyes glowed blue.

In the next second, Qiao Sang and Little Treasure vanished, taking the Lava Beast with them.

"Spatial Shift?!" Hidden among the tourists, Fleur’s expression changed drastically.

He growled, "Summon the Lava Beast back, now!"

"I-I can’t sense its location." McCarthy stammered, panic-stricken.

Then, something occurred to him. His expression brightened, and he reassured, "It’s fine! I arranged to meet her at Black Camel Spring."

Idiot! Fleur cursed internally.

Only weaklings get arranged by stronger people. That kid was clearly no ordinary child, she might even be stronger than McCarthy! Why would she follow his plan?

Fleur took a deep breath, suppressing his frustration. His gaze shifted to the already solidifying Ghostfire Essence on the ground. Making a snap decision, he ordered:

"Forget the Lava Beast! Get the Ghostfire Essence first!"
