Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 102
Chapter 102 Red Lightning
Qiao Sang had never expected that Ye Ranran’s Desert Fox would be so powerful, and she immediately relaxed. There
were more than 200 pets, and the Fire Fang Dog was the second one to run, so there was no way he could be the last one.
The Fire Fang Dog put on the yellow relay belt and rushed out.
“Xun!”
“Xun!”
The little treasure hunter shouted desperately.
He followed and floated over.
Qiao Sang quickly pulled it back.
“Xun?”
The little treasure hunter looked innocent.
“Don’t waste your energy, the sixth leg depends on you, let’s go directly to Liuyang River to wait for Yabao.” Qiao Sang said.
This was half true and half false, the first half was false and the second half was true, she didn’t expect the little treasure hunter to run for the sixth leg at all.
It was impossible to run with him, because the third leg was in Liuyang River, 10 kilometers away, and with her little arms and legs, she would probably be useless before she ran halfway.
Besides, running behind is not allowed in marathon races. They have professional medical teams and technical services, and the logistics support is also very safe.
Running behind will cause some unnecessary troubles and chaos in the race, and it will also make the order difficult to control.
Qiao Sang looked at the direction where the Fire Fang Dog disappeared.
Yabao, we can only support you spiritually!
Come on!
…
The Fire Fang Dog ran forward desperately.
It remembered that its beastmaster said to follow the large group in front, but there was no large group in front, not even a single competitor.
At this time, it thought of the six-tentacled snail that had just run ahead of it.
“Ya!”
The Fire Fang Dog accelerated.
Then we can only catch up with the six-tentacled snail first!
I don’t know how long it ran.
The Fire Fang Dog dragged its limbs tiredly and tried to move itself forward.
Now, let alone running, it’s hard to even walk.
Although the pet marathon is different from the traditional human marathon, it is generally a high-load, large-volume and long-distance competitive sport.
Although pets can use their characteristics and skills to speed up their own speed and make the race more interesting, it is unrealistic to use their characteristics to release skills all the time.
Excessive consumption of energy may cause pets to lose their physical strength during the race.
Therefore, pets with experience in participating in marathon races will run a distance on their own and occasionally release skills to increase their speed.
When they are close to the destination, they will use their characteristics or skills to sprint for a while, such as Ye Ranran’s Desert Fox.
But the Fire Fang Dog didn’t know that it had been running as hard as it could since the start. It
was fine at first, but when it slowed down, dozens of participating pets surpassed it one after another.
The Fire Fang Dog was not stupid.
During the period, after seeing several participating pets use skills, it also released skills to speed up.
It used Fiery Charge and Slam.
But it soon became exhausted.
The Fire Fang Dog has not received professional training, and the training it has been doing recently is basically about skills.
Running around the Liugan River for a few laps has not played any role in training for the marathon.
In terms of physical fitness, it might be pretty good among pets of the same level, but it still can’t meet the standards of a marathon.
The scorching sun was scorching the earth.
Even the fire-toothed dog, who was never afraid of heat, felt the torment.
The fire-toothed dog stuck out its tongue and had difficulty breathing. It felt that it was getting more and more out of breath. It had to use a lot of strength to lift its limbs. It was even harder to lift its legs than when it was wearing the weight ring.
“Tooth.”
The fire-toothed dog called out unconsciously, and its throat was so dry that it felt like it was on fire.
At this moment, it suddenly remembered the water that its beastmaster had mentioned.
It looked around, but didn’t find any tables or water.
Haven’t we arrived yet?
The Fire-toothed Dog’s eyes were full of stars, and he looked ahead in a daze. For the first time, he thought of the word “give up”.
So tired…
Really so tired…
“Ball. “
A pinball pig happened to pass by .
Its tail was like a spring, with a gray ball at the end of the tail, and it had a race number A099 tied to its body.
Its tail was upright, and the gray ball at the end of its tail touched the ground. It used the spring-like characteristics of its tail to jump and surpass the Fire-toothed Dog in an instant.
“Ball.”
The pinball pig did not leave immediately. It turned around and smiled triumphantly at the Fire-toothed Dog, and raised its smallest short toe provocatively.
“Tooth.” The Fire-toothed Dog
was instantly enraged.
It wanted to roar at the pinball pig, but the roar was so weak that only it could hear it.
Seeing the pinball pig in front of it turn around and jump away, the Fire-toothed Dog felt a fire in his heart and wanted to rush over.
But he was willing but not strong enough.
The force of the charge was too strong, and the already weak limbs could not support it at all. After two steps, the Fire Fang Dog’s legs softened and fell down.
In a trance, it seemed to hear its own beastmaster calling its name.
Yabao.
In fact, it didn’t like this name very much, and it didn’t have any momentum, but its own beastmaster liked it and there was nothing it could do.
If it fell here, would
its own beastmaster be disappointed? And its little brother, it was still waiting for its relay.
The Fire Fang Dog suddenly felt a little frustrated.
Its own beastmaster trusted it so much and told it to wait for it at Liuyang River. If it didn’t come…
I really wanted to continue…
The weak sparks in the Fire Fang Dog’s body gradually turned into flames. The next moment, the flames jumped, and the red flames rose up, instantly sweeping it from inside to outside.
“There is a Fire Fang Dog here, it seems to be exhausted, send it quickly… Shit!” The logistics staff was shocked.
“What’s wrong? What happened?” The person on the other end of the phone said worriedly.
“It’s okay. It was just a fallen fire dog that suddenly caught fire… It should have triggered the fierce fire characteristic, and then it ran away in a flash. This is the first time I’ve seen a fire-type pet run a marathon with fierce fire.” The logistics staff explained with lingering fear.
It’s like seeing a fallen patient suddenly stand up and perform a backflip for you. It’s still quite scary…
…
Liuyang River.
Qiao Sang looked at the pinball pig not far away, which was jumping on its tail and quickly heading to the handover point of the third baton, and sighed: “This tail is too suitable for this competition.”
“I still think that the skill of the ice and snow raccoon is more suitable. It actually let the meat ball on its paw stick to the ice ball and slide over. I don’t know how it came up with it.” Ye Ranran said.
“It’s summer, and the ground is so hot. The ice ball won’t last long before it melts. It just wants to relax in the middle. But you can see that it has put in a lot of effort. The balance is excellent.” Qiao Sang analyzed.
“For the pet marathon, it is enough to come up with a slightly less strenuous plan to buffer the tiredness in the middle. It mainly depends on the physical fitness and endurance of the pet.” Ye Ranran smiled.
Qiao Sang was silent for a while and asked, “What if there is no plan to save energy?”
Ye Ranran pondered for a while and said, “Purely rely on physical strength and endurance? It shouldn’t be. That would be too tiring. Everyone in the pet marathon will prepare a plan. I haven’t seen any idiot come to the competition without a plan.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Ha, the idiot is here.
“Search!”
“Search!”
The little treasure hunter suddenly shouted excitedly twice.
Qiao Sang looked at the track.
In the distance, she saw a figure wrapped in flames rushing over, like a red lightning that whizzed past her eyes in an instant, and stopped only after passing the pinball pig that was about to reach the junction.
