Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 119 The Silver-Quality Thornbird Hunter!

The thorny branches of the sun wheel precisely cut open the restraints of the two thorn-hunting birds.

If there is only one thornbird, it might weigh the pros and cons when it encounters thorns.

When a pair of thorn-hunting birds discover a thorn with amazing potential, they will immediately want to use the basic skill "Sparrow Accompanying Thorn" to form a contract with the thorn.

While gaining strength, they were also able to build nests and reproduce on the thorns. Before long, the Sun Wheel Thorns unfolded their thorns.

The two thornbirds, which had originally resembled small sparrows, reappeared in front of Zhong Yi.

At this moment, the two thornbirds had changed drastically from before.

The two thornbirds have not changed much in size, but their beaks have become longer and their claws have become sharper.

Its feathers turned a dark green, the same color as the thorns, and had golden ring patterns similar to those on the thorns of the Sun Wheel.

A layer of dazzling orange flames surrounded his body.

It's hard to believe that such stunning looks could be found on two ordinary-level bird-type tamed beasts.

The two thornbirds had received instructions from the Sunwheel Thorn beforehand, and upon seeing Zhongyi again, they showed no hostility towards her.

It circled around Zhongyi a few times like a guard before landing back on the thorns of the Sun Wheel Thorn.

Zhong Yi used his knowledge of all things to investigate the two thornbirds whose appearances had changed drastically once again.

【Beast Name】: Thorn Hunting Sparrow 【Beast Species】: Finchidae/Genus: Guardian Sparrow 【Beast Level】: Common Beast (1/10)

[Beast Taming Type]: Light/Fire [Beast Taming Quality]: Silver Quality Skills:

【Sparrow Accompanying Thorn】: Taking a thorn as the main force, it seeks to parasitize the thorn. After parasitizing the thorn, it will gain the attributes and strength of the thorn. When the thorn dies, it will also die due to the contract.

Exclusive Features:

[Desperate Burst]: Enters a burst state by sacrificing one's own energy, gaining a short-term boost to strength. After the burst state ends, one will fall into a state of exhaustion.

【Fire Feather Burns Life】: Uses flames to temper its own specialized parasitic feathers. During battle, after the parasitic feathers are injected into the enemy's body, the feathers will continuously burn the target's life force. The degree of life force burning is related to the number of feathers injected into the target's body.

The rank and quality of the Thorn Hunter Sparrow will be consistent with the Sunwheel Thorn of the Contract.

Both of these Thornbirds have been upgraded from ungraded to silver quality.

Seeing the Thornbird's newly acquired exclusive traits, Sacrifice Burst and Fire Feather Burn, Zhongyi's face broke into an uncontrollable smile.

When Zhongyi first obtained the Sunlight Thorn, he did not intend for it to be merely a functional beast that could quickly boost his strength.

At that time, Zhong Yi hoped that the Sunlight Thorn would improve its rank and quality, so that it could have a certain combat power.

However, after obtaining the Thornbird, the Sunwheel Thorn became the vessel for the Thornbird.

In the defensive system composed of the Sun-shaped Thorn and the Thorn Finch, the Thorn Finch is responsible for both offense and defense.

The optimal solution for this combination is to allow the Sunwheel Thorn to quickly improve its rank and quality through its skills and unique characteristics, thus ensuring the strength of the Thorn Bird Hunter.

Generally, thornbirds that become husband and wife, and parasitize the same thorn bush, will often acquire the same skills and unique traits.

After these two Thornbirds are upgraded to higher quality, they acquire the same exclusive traits.

Both "Desperate Burst" and "Fire Feather Burning Life" are extremely powerful offensive exclusive traits.

The Thornbird increases its power ceiling by sacrificing its own energy through a suicidal burst.

In a short period of time, one can gain the qualification to fight against opponents who are superior to their current rank.

The burst-type exclusive trait, such as the "Desperate Burst," which temporarily enhances combat ability, is extremely suitable for any combat-type beast. However, this burst-type exclusive trait is not without its weaknesses, namely, it will cause the Thornbird to fall into a state of exhaustion after the burst.

Once you fall into a state of exhaustion, it takes a long time to recover your strength and replenish your energy.

During this period, the Thornbird will lose its basic fighting ability.

However, compared to the explosive means of crossing boundaries in a short period of time, the side effect of exhaustion is negligible.

After all, separation does not cause any fundamental trauma to the thornbird.

The exclusive trait Fire Feather Burning Life obtained from upgrading to 100 Silver quality allows the Thorn Hunter Sparrow to make good use of the fire attribute gained from Parasitic Sunflower Thorns.

Normally, the Thornbird can use fire energy to temper the special feathers that grow on its body, called parasitic feathers.

After being refined, the parasitic feathers are injected into the enemy's body.

These parasitic feathers, brimming with fiery energy, continuously burn the life force within the target's body.

Furthermore, this method of burning the enemy's life force using parasitic feathers can be continuously stacked.

The more feathers injected into the enemy's body, the more efficient the burning of the target's life force will be.

Besides the short-range burst damage provided by Sacrifice Burst, the exclusive ability Firefeather allows the Thornbird to continuously wear down its opponent in battle, perfectly suited for prolonged fights.

Because of the presence of the star-studded plum, the flowers of the star-studded plum contain medicinal properties.

No matter how well-landscaped a mansion is, ordinary insects will not venture into it.

The thornbird has no way to hunt for itself within Zhongyi's mansion.

Zhongyi hung a box of fireworms that he had prepared beforehand on the ironthorn wood frame.

And he had the Sun Wheel Thorn use a thorn to secure the box containing the fire-loving worm.

This opaque, specially made iron box contains more than a hundred fire-loving worms.

Fireworms are creatures that can survive for a long time as long as they can absorb fire elemental energy.

In an environment rich in fire elemental energy, fire-loving worms will multiply chaotically and lay tiny, vermilion eggs the size of rice grains. These eggs will fall through the gaps in the iron box into the tray below.

Hanging this box of fireworms here will provide ample food for the thornbird-hunting couple.

Once new chicks have been bred, they can be fed directly with the eggs of the fireworm.

The eggs of the fire-loving worm contain abundant fire elemental energy, making them an excellent food source for raising chicks.

As the chicks grow up, the thornbird colony becomes increasingly prosperous.

Just hang a few containers on the ironthorn frame to hold the fire-loving worms.

Just then, Zhong Chenghuai's voice rang out from behind Zhong Yi.

"Young Master, this is the first time I've seen such a big house. It takes several tens of minutes to walk around the yard."

"I noticed you didn't come back with Xiaolingdang and Xiaoxuan, so I thought I'd come out and look for you."

"It's open and windy here, so I brought you a jacket."

As they were talking, Zhong Chenghuai had already walked up to Zhong Yi and draped a thin but windproof blue coat over Zhong Yi's shoulders.

Sensing the approach of strangers, the two thorny hunting birds that were very close to Zhong Yi immediately flapped their wings and went into a state of alert. Zhong Yi first ordered the Sun Wheel Thorn to remember Zhong Chenghuai's scent.

He then turned to Zhong Chenghuai with a smile and said.

"Uncle Huai, I was just thinking of letting this thorn take root first."

"If it doesn't take root soon, I can't make a contract with it."

Zhong Chenghuai took a close look at the Sun-ring Thorn and the two Thorn Hunting Birds that were starting to build their nest on the thorns of the Sun-ring Thorn.

I never imagined that this magnificent thorn bush would already be contracted by Zhongyi.

In Zhong Chenghuai's mind, Zhong Yi is a chosen one who has awakened a healing-type Order Beast.

Logically speaking, if you're going to contract a new beast, it should be a healing-type beast.

Could this fire-attribute thorn be a healing-type beast tamer?

Could you perhaps apply cupping therapy to an injured beast?

No matter how you look at it, Zhong Chenghuai cannot regard the Sunwheel Thorn as a healing-type beast.

However, Zhong Chenghuai did not say anything more about Zhong Yi's contract with beast taming.

Firstly, because Zhong Chenghuai himself knew very little, only a superficial understanding.

Secondly, as the chosen one, Zhong Yi received the best resource investment from Star City.

It's likely that the other chosen ones will also offer advice to Zhongyi regarding the beast-taming contract.

"Young master, you previously told me to place ironthorn frames around the area behind the mansion as much as possible."

"There is still a quarter of the area where these iron spike wooden frames have not been properly installed."

"The Antai Infrastructure team will come over early tomorrow morning to continue building these iron thorny wooden frames."

Since arriving in the central urban area, the person Zhong Chenghuai has had the most contact with is Wen Tao's adjutant, Xu Anjun.

Xu Anjun provided Zhong Chenghuai with a lot of help, and even the people from Antai Infrastructure were introduced to Zhong Chenghuai by Xu Anjun.

Antai Infrastructure is a long-established top-tier force in Star City, mainly responsible for the construction, renovation, and decoration of various mansions, estates, and some urban buildings.

Ironthorn wood is a type of material that is not uncommon in the market.

However, it's not so easy to find ironthorn wood that has a similar color and is from a mature plant and has grown in a regular pattern.

AnTai Infrastructure, a top-tier force, has tens of thousands of stable material bases in Star City that produce various infrastructure materials. They will provide high-quality materials produced by themselves according to the needs of their clients.

These ironthorn wood frames were made by An Tai Infrastructure after learning about Chung Cheng-huai's requirements, specifically by selecting high-quality ironthorn wood.

During the construction process, many high-end beasts with infrastructure capabilities will also be used.

First, the soil-shifting rhinoceros changed the land structure, and then the bottom of the iron thorny wooden frame was buried in the ground.

This not only avoids damaging the soil structure but also loosens the soil.

Sowing grass seeds on the soil turned over by the elk will ensure the aesthetic appeal of the lawn after construction, as the elk promotes germination.

Xu Anjun directly introduced Zhong Chenghuai to a person in charge of Antai Infrastructure.

Otherwise, no matter how good An Tai Infrastructure's services are, it would be impossible to complete most of this kind of work, which requires burying thousands of iron spike wooden frames, in just three to five days.

When he first met Xu Anjun, Zhong Chenghuai did not consider himself Zhong Yi's adjutant.

It was only after talking with Zhong Yi that Zhong Chenghuai placed himself in the position of Zhong Yi, the chosen one's adjutant.

After learning that Zhong Chenghuai had been confirmed as Zhong Yi's adjutant, Xu Anjun became much closer to Zhong Chenghuai than before.

Zhong Chenghuai could clearly sense this.

Even though he knew why Xu Anjun was helping him so much, Zhong Chenghuai still appreciated her kindness.

If it were before, Zhong Chenghuai would definitely have told Zhong Yi about what Xu Anjun had done.

Now that he has become Zhong Yi's adjutant, Zhong Chenghuai can repay this kindness to Xu Anjun in his own way.

It would be a burden for Zhongyi not to have to decide even small things.

"Uncle Huai, have all the Blood Peonies I gave to Brother Zhao been planted?"

"How are you feeling?"

After learning that Zhong Yi valued these Blood Peony plants, Zhong Chenghuai took extra care of them.

They deliberately commissioned Antai Infrastructure to build a sunroom for these fifty Blood Peony plants.

Zhong Chenghuai had just visited the sunroom this afternoon.

"Young Master, your Blood Peony plants are growing very well, and two or three of them have already opened their buds."

"I heard from Brother Zhao that in another three or four days, all these Blood Peonies will be in full bloom."

"Young Master, it's late at night now, and you've just come out of the secret realm."

"Why don't you go back and get some rest first? I'll take you to see the sunroom where the Blood Peony is planted tomorrow morning."

"We now have a total of twenty Creation Master apprentices here, and these Creation Master apprentices are carefully cultivating these Blood Peonies and Dormant Dreams."

"With these master craftsmen apprentices around, many things become much easier to handle."

At this point, Zhong Chenghuai seemed to remember something and said to Zhong Yi.

"By the way, young master, Xu Anjun invited me to a private exotic beast park in the upper district tomorrow to choose an exotic beast."

"I heard from Lao Xu that this exotic animal park is by invitation only, and it has many rare and exotic animals inside."

"Brother Xu sent me the invitation this afternoon. I don't understand those strange beasts, so going there would be a waste of time."

"Young master, here is the invitation. If you're interested, please take a look."

"I heard from Lao Xu that these privately invited animal parks are rarely open to the public, sometimes it takes two or three years to get one." Upon hearing Zhong Chenghuai mention these privately invited animal parks, Zhong Yi immediately became interested.

Mythical beasts are not a special type of tamed beast, but rather those tamed beasts that have mutated during the process of evolution.

Variations of farmer's earthworms, such as gardener's earthworms, can be classified as exotic animals.

Many mutated beasts have transcended the limitations of their own bloodlines and have extremely high cultivation value.

Since there was a chance to go to the alien zoo to choose an alien beast, Zhongyi naturally wouldn't miss it.

Zhong Yi smiled and said as she accepted the invitation from Zhong Chenghuai.

"Uncle Huai, I'll contact Brother Xu tomorrow and go with him to take a look."

Zhong Chenghuai was very happy to see that Zhong Yi was interested.

Originally, Zhong Chenghuai did not plan to go, but now many things in the mansion are inseparable from Zhong Chenghuai.

"Young Master, I've discovered that Old Xu is a night owl. He probably hasn't gone to sleep yet. I'll send him a QQ message right now."

"Judging from the time displayed, it seems this animal park opened very early this morning."
