Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Chapter 141 Phantom Ghost Ring

Qiao Sang, because of the contract bond, could sense in which direction Xiao Xunbao was.

Liu Yao was different, though. The visual device was right at his feet, and a simple glance down revealed a grey and yellowish Spectral-type Pet Beast within sight, causing his heart to skip a beat.

Fortunately, his encounters with the Sky Manifest Bat, which appeared and disappeared unpredictably, had forged a strong heart in his younger days, preventing him from losing composure and crying out.

Liu Yao steadied his mind and crouched down to check on Xiao Xunbao.

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao handed over the endoscope with one claw while pointing at its ear with the other.

...

Although Liu Yao couldn’t understand what the Treasure-seeking Ghost was saying, as a Breeder, he could often understand the meaning behind a Pet Beast’s actions.

“You don’t need an ear check,” Liu Yao said.

“Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao pursed its mouth, and its two yellow eyes stared straight at Liu Yao, seemingly asking why.

At that moment, Liu Yao’s attention was completely drawn to its eyes, and he exclaimed in surprise, “The color of your eyes is actually golden yellow.”

Qiao Sang was taken aback and grew anxious, “Is there a problem?”

She knew that normal Treasure-seeking Ghosts had medium-yellow eyes, but golden yellow was also within the yellow spectrum.

People in Dragon Country also had various pupil colors, including black, light brown, and dark brown. To her, it seemed merely a matter of genetics. Could it be more complicated than that?

“No problem. I just think the color is quite nice,” Liu Yao replied.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She really was going to snap!

It’s like when you go for a medical check-up and the doctor looks at you and says an organ isn’t quite like others—it’s terrifying, okay!

After examining for a while, Liu Yao asked, “You’ve raised it very well. Have you thought about its future evolution path?”

Qiao Sang was startled. The only evolutionary form of a Treasure-seeking Ghost was a Treasure-seeking Demon, but there were two evolutionary paths after becoming a Treasure-seeking Demon.

These were the Treasure-seeking Spirit and the Spectral Loop Ghost.

Truth be told, Qiao Sang hadn’t given this much thought; both the Treasure-seeking Spirit and the Spectral Loop Ghost were High Level Pet Beasts, and Xiao Xunbao was still a low-level one.

To her, it felt too early to consider this, at least until Xiao Xunbao evolved into a Treasure-seeking Demon and became a mid-level Pet Beast.

“I haven’t thought about it yet,” Qiao Sang honestly replied.

“Then you need to start thinking now,” Liu Yao stopped his examination and looked up, “If you want it to eventually evolve into a Treasure-seeking Spirit, then there’s no issue—you just continue to raise it normally. But if you want it to evolve into a Spectral Loop Ghost, you will need to adopt a different breeding strategy while it is still a Treasure-seeking Ghost.”

This was news to Qiao Sang.

Most Pet Beast breeding was focused on preparing for the next stage of evolution; she hadn’t heard of the need for such early cross-stage preparations.

After pondering for a few seconds, Qiao Sang asked, “What would I need to do if I want it to evolve into a Spectral Loop Ghost later?”

Having contracted the Treasure-seeking Ghost, she naturally sought to fully understand this species through online research.

Although she hadn’t considered whether she wanted it to evolve into a Treasure-seeking Spirit or a Spectral Loop Ghost, that hadn’t prevented her from conducting research on both potential forms.

The Treasure-seeking Spirit, a Spectral and Evil Attribute dual-type Pet Beast, could evolve naturally once sufficient conditions were met.
