Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Chapter 102: Where’s the Relay Baton?!

Red flames wildly darted about, unabashedly flaunting themselves there.

With its unique, triangular sunglasses, she instantly recognized the familiar figure as her own Yaobao.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, not feeling the joy of the Fire-Toothed Dog reaching the relay point so quickly but, instead, deep concern.

This is a fierce fire state, isn’t it?!

What happened?

How did the fierce fire come out?!

...

Could it have been triggered by running out of stamina in the marathon?

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang suddenly felt somewhat guilty.

It seemed like it wasn’t impossible…

The Fire-Toothed Dog stopped in its tracks and didn’t immediately look for the Howling Swamp Crocodile at the third relay point. Instead, it contemptuously hooked its mouth corner at the Bounce Ball Pig that was half a step slower and extended its right front paw, raising its outermost little toe.

The Bounce Ball Pig glanced at the Fire-Toothed Dog with Yu Guang, and in the next second, brushed past it, taking the lead in passing the yellow relay band to a little Rain Frog on the shore.

The Fire-Toothed Dog still maintained its cool posture, but from the stiffness of its mouth corners, it wasn’t hard to tell that it was petrified there.

The Fire-Toothed Dog, not yet half a year old, was experiencing the great ups and downs of life for the first time.

The transition from swagger to emotional trauma happened in an instant.

The flames raging on its body also wilted in no time.

“Yaobao, the relay band!” Qiao Sang shouted.

“Xun! Xun!”

It was only then that the Fire-Toothed Dog came to its senses and turned around, intending to hand over the relay band to the Howling Swamp Crocodile, who was almost in tears.

It lowered its head.

“Tooth?!”

Where was the relay band?!

…

Since its inception, the Qitang Town Pet Beast Marathon had never before experienced a situation where the relay band was lost midway.

There was no choice but to reissue it urgently.

No one expected that a relay band would be burned to ashes by a Fire-Toothed Dog whose Fierce Fire trait had been activated.

In the town, Fire Attribute Beasts were already rare, and those with the Fierce Fire trait were even scarcer. Seeing a marathon trigger the Fierce Fire trait was also a first for the town’s old-timers.

In a way, the Fire-Toothed Dog had become famous in Qitang Town.

Latter on, when hosting another Pet Beast Marathon, organizers would specially provide Fire Element Beasts with relay bands made of special fireproof material.

Of course, that’s a story for another time.

By the time the logistics staff got a new relay band, three minutes had already passed.

There were four levels to the strength of the Pet Beast Marathon competitors.

First, those who were far ahead, leaving others behind; second, those who could keep up with the main group; third, those who reached the checkpoints within the allotted time; and fourth, those who quit midway.

The Fire-Toothed Dog’s performance was decent this time, making it into the second tier, but the differences in strength within the second tier were not significant, and some rankings were separated by just a few seconds.

The three-minute delay directly caused the Fire-Toothed Dog’s initial ranking of 51st in the second leg to plummet to 62nd.

“It’s okay, I hadn’t even thought we’d make 62nd place,” Qiao Sang consoled.

“Tooth.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog’s eyes grew even more woeful.

It had never lost before, and now, not only had it lost, it had lost to 61 competitors all at once.

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao timely removed the hoop and offered up some milk.

The Fire-Toothed Dog took the milk and started drinking with mournful determination.

Sad as it was, it still had to drink the milk.
