Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Chapter 87: This is 5 Million!

Gone was the narrow mountain path, and before Qiao Sang lay a vast expanse of green open space.

Within her field of vision, she suddenly spotted two wild pet beasts.

On the grass, a Lithe Sparrowhawk was chasing after a Saddleback Caterpillar.

A normal-sized Lithe Sparrowhawk would be around 14 centimeters, but the one in front of her was fat and sizeable, obviously overfed.

It looked to be about 25 centimeters long, its body mostly a grape grey-brown color with the head being chestnut brown, a black line extending from the head straight to the end of the tail.

The bird’s beak seemed exceptionally sharp and long for its size.

...

The Lithe Sparrowhawk was a gregarious pet beast, and even if there weren’t many on the mountain, there must be members of its kind nearby.

Qiao Sang, however, had no intention of engaging these two wild pet beasts in combat.

A Flight Type pet beast not flying but instead chasing a slow-moving Bug-Type pet on the ground, deliberately lagging behind as if it couldn’t catch up, was clearly familiar and playfully frolicking.

She had no desire to be a killjoy while others were having a good time.

The Lithe Sparrowhawk in the midst of dieting sensed Qiao Sang’s presence.

Seeing that it was the Magnetic Brute Rat and her offspring who had led her here, it paid them no attention and turned back to its dieting business.

Halfway through this area, the mother Magnetic Brute Rat came to a halt.

“Magnet magnet.”

It pointed to the tree in the middle of the area with half of the green fruits remaining and made a sound.

Qiao Sang found herself unable to move a step further at the sight before her.

This kind of fruit was called Satiety Fruit.

Eating it had no special effects other than being able to satisfy hunger for three meals with one fruit.

If one was strapped for cash and couldn’t afford to keep a pet beast, they could buy Satiety Fruit to ensure that the pet would not want to eat anything else for a day after having one.

Of course, this was only effective for pet beasts below the high level.

Research had shown that pet beasts at the high level needed to eat three Satiety Fruits a day to be effective, whereas General-level ones required six.

Still, many Beast Tamers chose to buy Satiety Fruits to feed their pets in order to save money.

Being a beast tamer with tens of thousands to her name, Qiao Sang was certainly not so captivated by the sight of Satiety Fruits that she couldn’t proceed.

Her gaze stiffly fixed on the huge, dark, and silver figure ahead.

Who could tell her why there was a General-level Silver-tailed Sea Snake on Huangming Mountain!

In the shadow of the central Satiety Fruit tree coiled a giant snake-like pet beast about four meters long, its front three-quarters black, with the remaining tail end a cold silver.

As the third evolutionary form of the Short-tailed Snake, Qiao Sang was not unfamiliar with it.

The evolutionary form after the Short-tailed Snake is solely the Long-tailed Snake, and the second stage of evolution can only become a Silver-tailed Snake.

But there were two forms to the third stage of evolution from a Silver-tailed Snake.

One was the Venomous Black Python, a pure Poison Series pet beast, and the other was the Silver-tailed Sea Snake, which belonged to both the Water and Poison Series. _{freёwebnovel.com}

The Venomous Black Python was the standard evolutionary form of the Silver-tailed Snake.

But to evolve into a Silver-tailed Sea Snake required two conditions.

First, the beast had to be in the sea during evolution, and it also needed to have a Poison Dew Pearl in its mouth, both conditions indispensable.

This was certainly not a pet beast that should be on Huangming Mountain!

While the Silver-tailed Sea Snake hadn’t opened its eyes, Qiao Sang tiptoed back, picking up the curious Fire-Toothed Dog who was still looking intently at the tree.

“Tooth?”

The Fire-Toothed Dog looked confused.

Weren’t they supposed to move forward?

Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, quietly sucked on its milk atop Qiao Sang’s head.

It only wanted to drink milk and had no interest in the tree fruits.

The Magnetic Brute Rat and her offspring watched Qiao Sang walk in the opposite direction, paused for a moment, and then followed along.

Only when she retreated to where the Lithe Sparrowhawk and the Saddleback Caterpillar were playing did Qiao Sang begin to feel safe.

Encountering a General-level pet beast without its Beast Tamer nearby on Huangming Mountain was very abnormal.

The Magnetic Brute Rat showed no sign of surprise when it saw the Silver-tailed Sea Snake, which meant it knew of the beast’s existence.

But this Silver-tailed Sea Snake could not possibly be a wild pet.

Regardless of whether the necessary Poison Dew Pearl existed, on the matter of the condition being in the sea, let alone Huangming Mountain, there wasn’t any sea in all of Hangkang City.

There wasn’t time to think much earlier, but recalling the appearance of that Silver-tailed Sea Snake, it was indeed very strange.

The blackness of its face concealed much, but the silver part of its tail bore three deep, untreated wounds that were festering.

Whoever had enabled a Short-tailed Snake to evolve into a Silver-tailed Sea Snake definitely wouldn’t lack the funds to treat it.

Even if temporarily strapped for cash, this was a General-level pet beast—any normal person would take out loans to cure it.
