Beast Taming Begins with Evolution

Chapter 2 Muto
Baiyin hesitated again and again about the three kinds of pets, and finally looked at Mu Teng's introduction.

Wood vines are very popular among ordinary pets. There are three known stable evolutionary directions. They can be regarded as national pets. Otherwise, the animal breeding garden in the third-tier small city where Baiyin lives cannot raise so many wood vines at one time. Wood vines can evolve into the rare wood attribute pet Wanmu vine, the known end is super rare, evolve into the rare wood attribute pet Jingang vine, the known end is super rare, and evolve into the rare fire attribute pet Huo Tengtiao, the known end is mysterious.

The savings that Baiyin's parents left for Baiyin include resources with wood attributes and a very precious resource with space attributes. This is the last asset that Baiyin's parents left for him.

Baiyin finally decided to choose the ordinary pet, Mu Teng. She wanted to try whether she could find a new path of evolution based on her talent.

The next day, Baiyin took the money and her ID to the zoo. Under the guidance of the salesperson, Baiyin came to a place similar to a botanical garden. She stood outside the glass wall and listened to the salesperson's introduction: "These are all young wood vines. There are 34 in total. The largest is 2 meters tall and the shortest is 1.2 meters tall. You see, they are all very healthy. The shortest one is not defective. It just reached the seedling stage and was transplanted here."

Baiyin observed these vines carefully. The one closest to her was dark green all over, with three vines as thick as forearms. The longest was 1.5 meters long, and the shortest was about 1 meter.

Baiyin frowned as she looked at these wooden vines. With the naked eye, she could not see any difference between these wooden vines. Suddenly, Baiyin had an idea. She secretly activated her power, covered her eyes with her innate power, and observed the wooden vines in the glass house again.

Baiyin discovered that there really was a difference!
A few lines of words appeared on the vine closest to her.

【Woodvine】

Attribute: Wood

Level: Late Stage 1

Growth period: Seedling stage

Potential: Average-Excellent (evolvable)

Evolution Path: Unknown

Compatibility: Very high
Looking at the other vines, they all had the same words on their heads. They were basically in the late stage of the first order. The tallest one was in the great perfection of the first order, and the shortest one was in the early stage of the first order. Then there were the differences in the degree of fit. The strange thing was that except for the vine she saw at first glance, which had the potential of ordinary-excellent and a very high degree of fit, the others, even the one in the great perfection of the first order, had the potential of ordinary-good and a high degree of fit.

This surprised Baiyin. There were actually subdivisions in the potential classification of the evolutionary path!

She glanced at the salesman who was still talking nonstop, concealed the astonishment in her eyes, and said to him, "Please, I want this one." After that, she pointed to the wooden vine that was highly suitable.

The salesperson smiled happily, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Okay, please go to the contract room and wait after paying. Our breeder will deliver this wood vine to you."

Baiyin nodded, and under the guidance of the salesperson, went to pay the money, and then went to the contract room to wait.

After a while, a keeper with some animal patterns on his face came over with a transparent special glass box containing a wooden vine in one arm. Baiyin first used his talent to check if the keeper had made a mistake. The result was that it was the same one. Baiyin breathed a sigh of relief. Under the keeper's watchful eyes, he activated the "sun" in the beast control space, which materialized into his hand and touched the wooden vine.

As a pet, Mu Teng consciously, almost subconsciously resisted the contract. In just a few seconds, Baiyin was sweating all over her forehead, but as a level 12 Baiyin was at the early second level of the corresponding pet, she finally succeeded.

The contract is completed, and you will get the first-level late-stage pet Wood Vine.

Baiyin's face was filled with visible joy. She entered the Beast Taming Space with her mind and saw that Mu Teng was doing very well in her Beast Taming Space. Judging from the emotions fed back by Mu Teng, Mu Teng no longer had the instinctive resistance he had at the beginning. He liked this place very much. This place had most of the energy he needed for growth, and he felt very good staying here.

The keeper saw Baiyin looking at his pet and didn't stay any longer, leaving with the empty box. Baiyin looked carefully at Mu Teng's current condition.

【Woodvine】

Attribute: Wood

Level: Late Stage 1

Growth period: Seedling stage

Potential: Average-Excellent (evolvable)

Evolution Path: Unknown

Skill 1: Primary - Absorption (upgradable) - Can take root in the earth, absorb the earth's energy and feed it back to itself, which can be used for its own growth on weekdays and increase endurance in battle.

Skill 2: Primary - Entanglement (upgradable) - Vines wrap around the enemy, blocking or strangling them.

That’s all, there are only two skills at the moment.

Baiyin withdrew from the beast taming space, and after being checked by the staff of the zoo, he left and went home.

After returning home, Baiyin could hardly wait to take out the few resources her parents had left for her.

He also took out a flowerpot and planted the wooden vine that was in the beast-controlling space in it.

She first opened the wood-attributed resource, which was a fourth-level honey fruit. As soon as the honey fruit was taken out, the wooden vine next to it became restless, and its three vines stretched towards this side, and its consciousness also conveyed a desire to Baiyin.

Mu Teng's instinct told him that if he could eat this honey fruit, he would have the hope of entering a growth period, which would be of great benefit.

However, Baiyin did not give it, but instead used his own talent.

Evolution path: Common-Excellent [Wood Vine] (contracted) + Level 92 Honey Fruit = Rare-Excellent [Spirit Vine], success rate 2%, mutation rate %, mutation situation unknown

[Spirit Vine]: New skill - Condensation (upgradable), can condense wood spirit liquid at the tip of the vine. The wood spirit liquid can be taken orally to promote the absorption of wood attribute energy.

Baiyin took a breath. She had never seen Lingteng in textbooks or on the Internet. She thought it might be a brand new pet, and it was very likely an extremely excellent auxiliary pet.

After all, because Baiyin's mother awakened the talent of wood attribute, she knew about the wood spirit liquid. Wood spirit liquid can promote the body's absorption of wood attribute energy. This promotion is not only for pets, but also for humans. Wood attribute beast masters can speed up their cultivation speed and the compatibility with pets after drinking wood spirit liquid. It is a very precious and useful resource. Currently, ten milliliters of low-level wood spirit liquid can be sold for tens of thousands.

If Baiyin evolves the wood vine into a spirit vine, maybe she can finish high school and raise enough money for college.
However, Bai Yin frowned, not fascinated by this top-notch early-stage auxiliary pet. Wood Spirit Liquid is good, but she is not of wood attribute, so she cannot use it. Even if she exchanges Wood Spirit Liquid for resources, she cannot use the exchanged resources for the time being. After all, before she reaches level 20, she can only have one pet. If it is auxiliary, it will be difficult for her to get a high ranking in the high school entrance examination.
