Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chappter 650: Don’’t You Want to Try?
High above, another group of officials who were unaffected by the whirlwind noticed the disappearing girl and the lava beast, their expressions shifting slightly.
"That lava beast probably still has some Ghostfire Essence inside. Should we go after it?" The round-faced official asked.
The man in a black tactical jacket pondered for a moment before saying,
"Forget it. That kid was probably just startled by the sudden battle, which led to the mistake of taking the lava beast with her. Her fire-type pet can move freely in the volcano’s core. If she wanted the Ghostfire Essence, her pet could retrieve it. There's no need to cling to the lava beast."
"But even if she’s not in league with those people, are we just going to give up on the Ghostfire Essence inside that lava beast?" The round-faced official questioned again.
The man hesitated before replying, "There probably isn't much left in the lava beast. After all, it hadn’t been inside long before the volcano erupted. It was still unconscious when the fire-type pet carried it out."
Boom!!!
Before the round-faced official could respond, a sonic boom roared through the sky, the deafening sound echoing around them.
The man in the black tactical jacket swiftly maneuvered his eagle-like pet to evade the attack. As he dived toward the battlefield below, he shouted, "Forget it! The priority now is eliminating these people!"
With his words, the remaining officials still hovering in the sky quickly rode their sharp-beaked firebirds downward, joining the battle.
Seeing this, the round-faced official no longer said anything and also joined the fray.
Explosions erupted continuously. Around the area where the lava beast had vomited earlier, the two factions clashed fiercely, plunging the scene into chaos.
The remaining tourists finally realized that spectating wasn’t as entertaining as they had thought, it might even cost them dearly. One after another, they summoned their pets or rushed to their vehicles to leave.

Meanwhile, after using multiple space-shift ability in succession, Little Treasure finally stopped in a desolate area.
Qiao Sang didn’t care where they were. After confirming no one else was around, she turned to look at the lava beast, which was still vomiting, hesitating.
What’s going on? It’s been throwing up for so long…
The lava beast's eyes were filled with tears, its expression one of extreme suffering.
It felt absolutely miserable. It had gone into the volcano to retrieve what its beastmaster wanted, but just as it lowered its head and opened its mouth, the volcano erupted.
A huge wave of unknown substances had rushed into its stomach, making it feel like it was about to burst.
It had no idea how it lost consciousness, but when it woke up, it felt sick and nauseous, surrounded by strangers.
Before it could even react, the scenery around it had changed multiple times in a blur.
Originally, only its stomach hurt, now, its head did too…
"Lava… ugh…"
Qiao Sang quietly took a step back and looked at Little Treasure.
"I remember buying a transparent, ultra-high-temperature-resistant container from a tool shop before. Get it and collect some of this."
"Xun?!"
Little Treasure widened his eyes in shock.
Collect… vomit?!
Qiao Sang patiently explained, "This is Ghostfire essence."
"Xun…"
Little Treasure suddenly understood.
So this is Ghostfire Essence…
Since he had once followedhis beastmaster invisibly, he naturally knew she needed this for a trade.
Without hesitation, Little Treasure removed his circular ring and rummaged through it with his claws.
After about half a minute, he finally pulled out the transparent container.
"Xun…"
But the next second, staring at the Ghostfire Essence splattered all over the ground, he looked deeply conflicted.
Even though this was Ghostfire Essence… it was also vomit.
How was he supposed to collect it…?
Even though Little Treasure didn’t say anything, his expressive face made his thoughts obvious.
Qiao Sang twitched at the corners of her mouth and said, "You can use telekinesis to move it in."
"Xun~"
Upon hearing that, Little Treasure instantly brightened up. He opened the container, his eyes glowing blue as he guided the regurgitated Ghostfire Essence into the container.
Actually, since Little Treasure could use Will-o'-the-wisp flames, absorbing Ghostfire Essence would probably save him a lot of training time… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she watched.
"Lava… ugh."
The lava beast, seeing this, instinctively covered its mouth with its claws, wanting to swallow the Ghostfire Essence back down. It knew its beastmaster needed it.
But in the end, it couldn’t resist the physiological response and continued vomiting.
Soon, the container was full.
Little Treasure sealed the lid and placed it back into his ring.
"Lava… ugh…"
The lava beast was still vomiting.
What a waste… Qiao Sang felt a pang of regret as she watched the Ghostfire Essence spill onto the ground.
This stuff could be traded for an SS-ranked Yin Dynasty Pearl…
Unfortunately, she only had one heat-resistant container, and it was already full. The rest of the slurry would likely be wasted…
Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she turned to Little Treasure.
"Xun?"
Little Treasure blinked, confused by his beast master’s gaze.
Qiao Sang cleared her throat.
"Here’s the thing... Ghostfire Essence is great for ghost-type pets with fire abilities. Do you want to try it?"
Little Treasure’s eyes lit up at first, but when he looked at the steadily flowing blue liquid coming from the lava beast’s mouth, he immediately became wary.
"Xun?"
How… how would he try it?
"You just need to use the energy from your Will-o'-the-wisp flames to wrap the Ghostfire Essence before swallowing and absorbing it." Qiao Sang explained.
When she had learned about Ghostfire Essence, she had also looked up its absorption method.
"Xun!"
Little Treasure instantly shook his head furiously.
Swallow it? No way!
That’s someone else’s vomit!
Qiao Sang tried to reason, "Think about it: You won’t actually be touching the essence since your energy will be wrapping it."
"Xun…"
Little Treasure was always a logical thinker. He visualized the process in his mind.
That… did seem to make sense…
"And haven’t you been wanting to get stronger lately?" Qiao Sang pressed on, seeing his hesitation.
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
"If you absorb the Ghostfire Essence, your attack power will increase significantly."
"Xun…"
Hearing that, Little Treasure subconsciously glanced at Qiao Sang’s backpack.
Qiao Sang seized the opportunity and added,
"Ghostfire Essence is precious. You can’t buy it even if you have money. Even if you want to absorb it in the future, you might not get the chance. Now there’s an opportunity right in front of you, don’t you want to try it? Others wouldn’t even get the chance!"
"Xun!"
After a brief hesitation, Little Treasure clenched his teeth and nodded.
He would try!
Perfect! Qiao Sang was overjoyed and immediately urged, "Then start quickly—once it solidifies, it’ll be a lot harder to absorb."
"Xun…"
Little Treasure stared at the Ghostfire Essence on the ground, took a deep breath, and mentally prepared himself.
It’s wrapped in energy… It won’t touch me… It’s wrapped in energy…
With a determined expression, Little Treasure activated his power, enveloping his mouth in energy. His eyes glowed blue, and the Ghostfire Essence slowly rose from the ground, moving toward his mouth.
The moment it entered, layers of energy wrapped tightly around him.
Then, Little Treasure swallowed.
If any professional beast trainers were present, they would have screamed in outrage.
Ghostfire Essence had an extremely high temperature, how could it be swallowed so casually?!
Any ghost-type pet that absorbed Ghostfire Essence would normally take special cooling agents or dilute it first.
Letting a ghost-type pet consume it raw? That was insane!
Qiao Sang didn’t know this, but she did know that lava was dangerous to ingest.
"Lubao, if Little Treasure shows any discomfort, use Healing Light immediately." She instructed, unzipping her backpack.
"Lu."
Lubao jumped out of the bag, nodded, and stood by.
With Lubao there, Qiao Sang relaxed. She closed her eyes, her consciousness entering her Beastmaster Codex.
