Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 788: Capture

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

The beasts, tired from singing, took their food and left one after another.

The number of wild beasts dwindled, and before long, only Dosidola remained.

“Duo-xi?”

Dosidola cautiously approached Qiao Sang and let out a small call.

By now, the effects of the Healing Soundwave had long since worn off, and from its stiff posture, it was clear it was feeling quite nervous.

“Gang Slice.”

Gangbao, who had danced all night, flew over to translate.

It asked if there would be more singing tonight.

Dosidola, a mid-level ground-type beast, walked on two legs. Most of its body was dark brown, with a pointed tip on its tail. It could dig through the earth using the tough skin on its face. Normally, its facial features were very well developed, and its head was bigger than its body.

But this Dosidola in front of her was too skinny, its cheeks sunken, and its head not proportionally large, clearly showing poor development.

Qiao Sang didn’t answer right away. Instead, she glanced at Little Treasure.

“Xun xun~”

Sensing his master’s gaze, Little Treasure immediately floated over.

“Take out some food.” Qiao Sang said.

“Xun xun~”

Little Treasure deftly removed his ring and pulled out some snacks suitable for beasts.

Qiao Sang took the snacks, crouched down, handed them to Dosidola, and said: “I don’t know if we’ll come back tonight, but if we do, it’ll be at this same spot. You can come find me here. Also, you sing very well.”

“Duo-xi…”

Dosidola hugged the snacks, then looked up at Qiao Sang before turning around and running off.

“Got any food left? I’m a little hungry.” Pirite, who had just woken up, suddenly spoke.

“Yeah.” Qiao Sang glanced at Little Treasure.

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure swiftly took out some food.

When he pulled out a bag of bread, he seemed to think of something and took out another one.

“Xun xun~”

Little Treasure handed the bread to his master first, then gave one to Pirite.

What a good kid… Qiao Sang’s heart warmed as she accepted the bread.

While eating, Pirite sighed, “As expected, Adinishi isn’t that easy to find.”

Obviously. If you could find a phantom beast in just one day, it wouldn’t be treated as such a big deal… Qiao Sang silently retorted, but outwardly stayed calm as she asked: “What’s our plan for today?”

Pirite thought for a moment and said: “We’ll check out some places that deal in intelligence. Then we’ll buy a speaker and play instrumental music. Tonight, we’ll gather another group of singing beasts to sing along with the music. That might work even better.”

“As for bars, forget it. I realized that there are too many people in bars. Adinishi is a phantom beast, it’s likely been captured by humans in the past during its awakening periods. It wouldn’t appear in crowded, chaotic places.”

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment.

“So basically, we’re pulling another all-nighter tonight?”

Pirite chuckled.

“Didn’t we sleep last night too? The weather on Chaosu Star is great. Staying out all night isn’t a big deal.”

That’s you, I didn’t sleep at all… Qiao Sang thought. Then she suddenly remembered Dosidola from earlier and said: “I think the beasts from last night sang really well. We could find them again.”

Pirite let out a laugh.

“Wild beasts don’t have fixed homes. Even if we come back here, there’s no way we’ll find them all again. Plus, after we caught them last night, they probably think this place isn’t safe anymore and are already looking for a new spot.”

The scenes of the beasts singing and dancing last night replayed in Qiao Sang’s mind. She paused for a few seconds and said, “I actually think they’ll stay here. They might even wait for us.”

Hearing this, Pirite couldn’t help but seriously consider it.

If it had been any other student saying this, he wouldn’t have taken it seriously, but it was Qiao Sang speaking.

It wasn’t hard to see from her ability to evolve Little Steel Falcon’s bond evolution multiple times in a short period that she had great talent and potential in beast training and psychology.

If she believed it, there was a good chance those beasts would stay…

In fact, it would be best if last night’s wild beasts continued singing.

Their voices were great. Plus, after the initial communication on the first night, the second time around would save a lot of time and go even more smoothly.

Also, constantly finding new beasts in different locations wasn’t ideal either.

It was just like a concert, only by holding it in the same place for several consecutive days could more people hear about it and come over.

Beasts communicated with each other too. Once the news of this place having dozens of singing beasts spread, Adinishi might show up specifically…

With that thought, Pirite no longer hesitated. He nodded and said: “Since you said so, we’ll return here tonight. For now, let’s go look for an intelligence trading spot.”

Hearing this, Qiao Sang pulled out her phone to check the time.

Then she formed a hand seal and summoned Yaba.

“Yap…”

Yabao yawned as soon as he appeared.

Meanwhile, Deep in the forest near the ruins.

“Duo-xi!”

Dosidola sat under a lush, leafy tree, placed its food in front of it, opened a bag of chips, and happily munched on one, its eyes narrowing into crescents.

“Dee-dee.”

Suddenly, a voice came from nearby.

Dosidola turned its head and saw a creature it had never met before.

That creature held something red, crystal-clear, and brilliantly colored in its paw.

“Duo-xi…”

Dosidola had never seen anything so beautiful. It couldn’t help but stare, mesmerized.

“Dee-dee.”

Adinishi extended its paw.

“Duo-xi!”

Snapping out of its daze, Dosidola quickly clutched its chips and looked alert and wary.

Seeing this, Adinishi remembered the look in Dosidola’s eyes just now and brought the flute to its lips.

At once, a pure, distant melody rang out.

“Duo-xi…”

Dosidola instantly became entranced.

It felt like it was hallucinating. The scene before its eyes rippled like water, transforming into an empty field covered in clumps of wild grass.

“Duo-xi…”

Dosidola thought the field looked somewhat familiar.

Soon, the scene faded, and everything returned to normal.

The strange creature was gone.

Suddenly realizing something, Dosidola looked down, and found that its entire bag of chips had vanished.

“Duo-xi!!!”

—

On the other side, Yabao seemed to hear something and turned his head toward the forest.

Pirite finished sending a few minutes’ worth of messages on his phone, then set it down and said gravely: “We can’t openly ask about Adinishi anymore.”

“Why?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

“Several groups were asking about flute-wielding beasts yesterday. They’re probably also after Adinishi.” Pirite said, his tone heavy.

Thḭ𝑠 ςh𝖺p𝘵𝑒r 𝚤𝙨 pο𝖘ƚℯ∂ b𝗒 𝓀𝒾𝖙𝖾𝐧𝟬νꬲ𝙡

Qiao Sang’s brows furrowed as she suddenly understood.

Pirite continued, “If I’m not mistaken, they’re looking for Adinishi to capture it.”
