Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Chapter 101 Red Lightning

Ye Ranran’s Desert Tail Fox was so powerful that Qiao Sang had never imagined; her emotions immediately relaxed.

With over two hundred Pet Beasts, the Fire-Toothed Dog being the second to run, there’s no way it would end up last.

No sooner had the Fire-Toothed Dog put on the yellow relay strap than it whooshed out.

“Xun!”

“Xun!”

The little Treasure-seeking Ghost shouted desperately, cheering on.

...

While shouting, it also floated along.

Qiao Sang was quick to pull it back.

“Xun?”

The little Treasure-seeking Ghost looked innocently puzzled.

“Don’t waste your energy, we’re relying on you for the sixth leg, let’s go directly to Liuyang River to wait for Yaobao,” Qiao Sang said.

Her words were half true, half false; the first part was false and the latter true, she hadn’t really counted on the little Treasure-seeking Ghost for the sixth leg.

Running along was out of the question; the third leg was at the Liuyang River over 10 kilometers away, and with her tiny arms and legs, she’d probably be done for before even reaching halfway.

Moreover, marathons didn’t allow pacing, and during the race, there would be professional medical teams and technical services, ensuring safety with backend support.

Pacing could cause unnecessary trouble and chaos during the race, making it hard to control the order.

Qiao Sang gazed in the direction where the Fire-Toothed Dog had disappeared.

Yaobao, we can only support you in spirit!

Come on!

…

The Fire-Toothed Dog ran desperately forward.

It remembered its Beast Tamer saying to follow the main group, but now there wasn’t even a single opponent in sight, let alone a main group.

Then, it thought of the Six-Tentacled Snail that had started running before it.

“Ya!”

The Fire-Toothed Dog sped up.

It could only try to catch up to that Six-Tentacled Snail for now!

After running for who knows how long.

The Fire-Toothed Dog, exhausted, dragged its limbs, struggling to move forward.

Now, it was not just hard to run, but even walking was tough.

Although the Pet Beast marathon was different from the traditional human marathon, both essentially were high-load, strenuous, and long-distance athletic events.

Even though Pet Beasts could use their attributes and Skills to speed up and make the race more interesting, it was impractical to continuously use attributes and release Skills.

Excessive energy consumption could cause the Pet Beasts to run out of stamina during the race.

So experienced marathon-running Pet Beasts would run on their own for a while and then sporadically use Skills to increase their speed.

They would use their attributes or Skills for a sprint when they were close to the destination, just like Ye Ranran’s Desert Tail Fox did.

But the Fire-Toothed Dog didn’t know this; from the start, it had been running with all its might.

Initially, it was fine, but when it slowed down, dozens of other competing beasts gradually overtook it.

The Fire-Toothed Dog wasn’t stupid.

When it noticed that some of the other competing beasts used Skills, it too released Skills to accelerate.

Blazing Charge, Bash, it used them all.

But soon it was drained of energy.

The Fire-Toothed Dog hadn’t undergone professional training, and had mainly been practicing Skills recently.

The few laps it ran around Liugan Creek did nothing to prepare it for the marathon.

Its physical fitness might be decent among its peers, but it was far from enough for a marathon.

The scorching sun baked the earth.

Even the usually heat-resistant Fire-Toothed Dog felt the torture. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Panting with its tongue out and struggling to breathe, it felt increasingly unable to catch its breath, its limbs needing great effort to lift, even more difficult than when it first wore the Weighted Ring.
