Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 787: Red Crystal

Oppressive Might, commonly known as King’s Aura, is formally called Pressure Presence.

When the pressure reaches a certain level, and the opponent’s rank is far below one’s own, it can directly intimidate or knock out the opponent through sheer aura.

However, they’ll usually wake up within a few minutes, and it doesn’t cause actual physical harm.

Of course, there’s still a chance it might leave psychological trauma on some mentally fragile beasts.

At the open space, about three minutes later, the specially selected beasts began to wake up one after another.

Upon seeing the Famu Moth, they instinctively trembled with fear.

One by one, their fur stood on end, and they shrieked again, trying to escape in panic.

“Healing Soundwave.” Qiao Sang ordered.

Lubao hopped out from her backpack.

Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and began to sing: “Lu-Ai~ Lu~ Lu-Ai-Lu~ Lu-Lu-Lu~”

As the song rang out, an invisible sound wave spread through the air.

The panicked beasts quickly calmed down and grew peaceful, stopping where they were.

Once their emotions settled, their sense of crisis faded too. One by one, they stopped running away and instead turned their curious gazes toward the humans and beasts who had captured them, wearing expressions like, Why did you catch us?

Ice Aipalu’s skills are really practical… Pirite silently thought, then directly said: “I hope you can all sing nicely. Once you finish singing, we’ll let you go.”

“Guan-guan…”

“Duo-xi…”

“Qing-lie…”

One beast after another exchanged glances, then looked at the humans speaking to them, all showing expressions like, Why should we sing?

Peaceful didn’t mean brainless, it simply meant they could now think calmly.

In other words, they understood the Famu Moth was a powerful being, but they no longer felt much fear toward it.

With their fear gone, the beasts wouldn’t just obey commands blindly.

Pirite was momentarily at a loss for words, trying to figure out how to persuade them when Qiao Sang spoke up: “If you sing, we’ll prepare food for you. Sing once, and you’ll get a meal in return. How about that?”

“Xun xun~”

As soon as she finished speaking, Little Treasure cooperatively removed his ring and pulled out bags of snacks, as well as some energy pellets and fruits suitable for beasts.

She had bought these from a pet food store during her previous shopping spree for tools and materials.

Since she used an unlimited spending card, she wasn’t concerned at all.

Qiao Sang had already noticed this since arriving, although wild beasts ran rampant in 30th District, seemingly freer than those in the Upper or Middle Ten Districts, their available resources were much scarcer. They often had to compete for food.

Many weaker wild beasts were frequently starving, unable to find enough to eat. Otherwise, wild beasts wouldn’t have resorted to working in human society in exchange for currency or food.

“Guan-guan…”

“Duo-xi…”

“Qing-lie…”

The wild beasts all stared calmly at the pile of food.

“Grrr…”

At that moment, the sound of a stomach growling echoed.

Qiao Sang followed the sound and discovered it was Dosidola.

“Duo-xi?”

Dosidola didn’t seem embarrassed by its rumbling belly. It called out calmly, asking if it could eat first.

“Gang Slice.”

Before Little Treasure could respond, Gangbao proactively translated.

“Of course.” Qiao Sang nodded with a smile.

“Duo-xi.”

Dosidola walked up to the pile of fruits it usually couldn’t snatch in the wild, picked one up, and took a bite.

Although it remained calm outwardly, it instinctively paused for a moment before digging in heartily.

“Grrr…”

More and more beasts’ stomachs began to growl.

“You can all fill your bellies first before singing.” Qiao Sang offered.

The beasts exchanged glances again. Seeing Dosidola’s feast, they finally couldn’t resist temptation and rushed toward the pile of food, devouring it ravenously.

Pirite furrowed his brows slightly, worrying aloud, “What if they refuse to sing after eating?”

In his opinion, Qiao Sang’s method was reasonable, but he thought they should’ve waited until after the beasts sang to give them food, giving it upfront came with the risk of betrayal.

After all, wild beasts were unpredictable.

“Well, we still have the Famu Moth, don’t we? If they refuse, we’ll just intimidate them again.” Qiao Sang waved her hand nonchalantly, unconcerned.

Soft or hard tactics, beasts will always fall for one or the other.

Hearing this, Pirite said no more.

“Xun xun…”

Amid the dozens of feasting beasts, no one knew when Little Treasure had slipped in, silently pulling out a bag of chips for himself.

The food was soon devoured.

“Duo-xi.”

Dosidola was the first to call out, signaling it was ready to sing.

“Xun xun…”

With a calm expression, Little Treasure took out the loudspeaker he had bought before and floated to the side. After giving a “Xun xun” demonstration into the mic, he handed it over.

“Duo-xi.”

Dosidola took the loudspeaker and began to sing.

“Duo-xi~ Duo-xi~ Duo-duo-xi~”

Honestly, it did sound pretty good… Qiao Sang admired the performance, thinking to herself.

All the beasts sat quietly nearby, none of them left.

They actually all stayed… A glimmer of surprise flashed in Pirite’s eyes.

After Dosidola finished its song, the black-and-white bear-like beast took over and began singing: “Dan-dan~ Dan-dan~ Dan~ Dan-dan~”

“Duo-xi?”

While the black-and-white bear-like beast was singing, Dosidola approached Qiao Sang and called out, asking if it could get another meal if it sang again later.

“Gang Slice.”

Gangbao once again proactively translated.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

“Of course.”

And so, Dosidola stayed.

More and more beasts began singing.

None of them left after singing, instead, like Dosidola, they chose to stay.

Time passed unknowingly, and the area gradually filled with rustling noises.

Qiao Sang followed the sounds and discovered that wild beasts, attracted by the singing, were watching them from behind the bushes or through gaps in the leaves.

She tried to discern if any of their eye shapes or colors resembled Adinishi, but none did.

The night deepened, with a gentle evening breeze blowing.

The beasts gradually let down their guards, beginning to circle or hop lightly to the rhythm of the songs.

Some of the wild beasts that had been drawn by the music couldn’t resist and also joined in the dancing.

“Lu Ai…”

Lubao jumped out of the backpack, swaying her tail to the rhythm.

“Xun xun~”

Little Treasure spun around in the air, twirling and twirling again.

“Gang Slice.”

Gangbao mingled with the wild beasts, dancing along with them.

Qiao Sang slowly relaxed, lying flat on the ground, gazing at the night sky where only the outer ring of the moon glowed faintly. Her heart felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

Th𝐢𝘴 𝗰hɒp𝙩𝓮r 𝐢ѕ pⲟ𝙨τ𝖾𝒹 b𝑦 𝘬𝒾ṯᥱ𝙣𝕠𝖛ɛ𝓁

She didn’t know when, but Pirite had already fallen asleep nearby.

“Fa fa…”

The Famu Moth remained loyally by its tamer’s side, swaying its head along with the music like a guardian.

A pair of eyes, as red as rubies, peered at the scene through the gaps in the bushes.

If anyone were to see this beast with ruby-like eyes at this moment, they would notice that its paw held a flute resembling a red crystal.
