Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 103 - 99: Racing Flight
Chapter 103: Chapter 99: Racing Flight
The Fire-Toothed Dog got up early in the morning to search through its backpack, but after a long time, it still couldn’t find the pair of sunglasses it was looking for.
Its rummaging paused for a moment, its head tilted, a look of confusion on its face.
It remembered that those flashy pink sunglasses were definitely in the bag.
The Fire-Toothed Dog didn’t fret for long and immediately turned to look for Qiao Sang.
When in doubt, seek your own Beast Tamer.
With the backpack in its mouth, the Fire-Toothed Dog approached Qiao Sang, who was tying her ponytail.
...
“Ya!”
“Ya Ya!”
Qiao Sang tied the last loop of the hairband and calmly said, “That pair, I also forgot where I put it. Just wear the red ones. They match the color of your fur, and they look good on you.”
To one side, Xiao Xunbao, who was preparing to remove the ring, paused.
Didn’t its own Beast Tamer just put those pink sunglasses there last night?
Xiao Xunbao glanced at its owner and caught her winking at it.
It instantly understood.
The Beast Tamer did it on purpose.
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao instinctively covered its mouth.
So it was a secret!
Hearing this, the Fire-Toothed Dog immediately forgot about the sunglasses it wanted to find and started to rummage for the red triangular sunglasses to put them on.
“Ya!”
After putting on the sunglasses, it wagged its tail and barked at Qiao Sang.
“So pretty!” Qiao Sang praised with a face full of sincerity.
Compared to that pair of pink heart-shaped sunglasses, any pair looked nice on it.
“Ya.”
The Fire-Toothed Dog’s tail wagged even more joyfully.
If only there was a full-body mirror like the one at home, it would definitely want to take a look at itself.
…
Qiao Sang had also participated in an official competition before, so she wasn’t the least bit flustered by the marathon relay race.
Anyway, she was just there to make up the numbers…
But when she arrived at the scene, she was still startled by the scale of the event.
Pingxiang Street.
The starting point of the race.
She saw that from one end of the street to the other, it was packed with people standing shoulder to shoulder.
Looking up, the race track made from clouds conjured by Flight Type Pet Beasts stretched from the west end to the east end, seemingly endless.
On either side of the cloud race track, there were dozens of Beast Tamers flying on Flight Type Pet Beasts.
She couldn’t tell if they were staff members or just onlookers.
Looking at the bustling crowd on both sides of the street, Qiao Sang seriously wondered if the entire Qitang Town had shown up.
Xiao Xunbao perched on Qiao Sang’s head, blinked its eyes curiously, and looked around.
This was its first time seeing so many people.
Soon, it made eye contact with several of them.
Following that, those people all smiled at it.
Xiao Xunbao was taken aback and a bit puzzled.
“Xun?”
In the past, whenever people made eye contact with it, they would move away in fear.
Why was it different this time?
“Ah Sang, come here to pick up your equipment,” Ye Ranran called out from a place marked ‘Athletes’ Check-in’.
“I didn’t expect so many people to come,” Qiao Sang said as she walked over.
“It must be pretty much the whole town. There’s usually not much entertainment, so everyone hardly ever misses a competition involving Beast Tamers,” said Ye Ranran.
Qiao Sang nodded her head, noting that in the city, with many Beast Tamers and frequent competitions, small competitions would be ignored if not publicized.
The Bai Xinsai race is a perfect example.
In the town, with fewer Beast Tamers and competitions, any whisper of a Beast Taming competition didn’t need to be advertised—it would spread from person to person.
“Ah Sang, don’t get nervous later on, just stay calm and treat it as usual,” her uncle suddenly said on one side.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Although surprised by the number of people who had arrived, she really wasn’t nervous—it wasn’t her who was racing…
“Yaobao, are you nervous?” Qiao Sang bent down and asked.
“Ya.”
The Fire-Toothed Dog, wearing sunglasses, looked cool as it shook its short middle claw on its right paw.
“Uncle Three, we’re not nervous, so you shouldn’t be either,” Qiao Sang said looking up.
Uncle Three: “… Yeah.”
Qiao Sang queued up to receive two number cloths and tied them onto the Fire-Toothed Dog and Little Treasure-seeking Ghost.
The Fire-Toothed Dog was A071, and the Little Treasure-seeking Ghost was C166.
The start of the race numbers were marked with A, B, C.
They represented the first, second, and third racing tracks: land, river, and sky, respectively.
These racing numbers were not just for identifying the competitors; they also came with timing chips. When passing the timing points, the chips would be read to capture their arrival times, thus uploading the information to the timing backend to compile the race results.
“I’m heading to the second track now. Aunt Three and Jing Wen are waiting over there; we’ll meet up in a bit,” Uncle Three said.
“Uncle Three, you can go ahead with peace of mind; we’ve got this,” Ye Ranran said.
Qiao Sang nodded in agreement.
The Pet Beasts Uncle Three was racing were the Howling Swamp Crocodile and the Inkfish, both suited for the second track.
After Uncle Three left, Ye Ranran spoke up, “I’ll have Aunt Lin drive you to JinSong Village. You know her; she’s the one who went with me to Huangming Mountain last time. She really likes you; she’s been talking about you a lot lately.”
Ye Ranran’s Desert Tail Fox was the first leg of the first track.
Meanwhile, Qiao Sang’s Fire-Toothed Dog was the second leg, stationed 10 kilometers away from the starting point at JinSong Village.
“No need, I can get there myself. It’s not good to trouble others. Besides, with so many people on the streets now, it wouldn’t be easy to drive,” Qiao Sang declined.
“Alright, then I’ll call you when Ah Mo is about to reach JinSong Village,” Ye Ranran didn’t insist.
…
30 minutes later, Qiao Sang regretted her decision.
This was her first time in such a race, and she had no experience.
Who could tell her why the first leg was so far from the second leg!?
Qiao Sang pedaled fiercely, racing down the streets on her bike.
Had the race started?
It must have… probably…
It wouldn’t be that the Desert Tail Fox finishes the first leg and she still hasn’t arrived, would it!?
“Ya!”
“Ya!”
The Fire-Toothed Dog in the bike basket cheered her on.
Little Treasure-seeking Ghost clutched tightly onto Qiao Sang’s hair with its short claws, its round eyes squinting in the wind.
Qiao Sang biked with a sense of panic sweeping through her.
Taking someone else’s car would’ve been so much better.
Why the heck was she riding a bike for no reason…
Now look, she had thought she was just going to have an easy ride, but even that was looking doubtful…
“Beauty, want a lift on the fly?”
Qiao Sang looked up excitedly.
Above her, she saw a large-winged sharp-beaked bird flying, with two men and a woman seated on it.
At the very front was a man who appeared to be in his 40s, while the man and woman seated behind looked to be in their early 20s.
While riding her bike, Qiao Sang shouted, “I need to get to JinSong Village, is that on your way?”
The large-winged sharp-beaked bird flew beside her to her right.

Hearing her, the middle-aged man in his 40s replied cheerfully, “On the way, on the way! They’re also heading to JinSong Village. I’ll charge you 800; how about it?”
The two young people exchanged a knowing look. They were going to fleece a youngster because of her age.
They had agreed to share the ride for 600 each, and now this man was asking a child for 800.
Qiao Sang hadn’t flown on a pay-per-ride basis before, but her mother was a professional at ferrying people by flight.
Even though it was tourist flights, she still knew the going rates.
“400 to fly!?” Qiao Sang called out.
The middle-aged man decisively replied, “Fly!”
The two young people were taken aback; were they the ones being fleeced?!
