Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 160 High-Speed ​​Deer

Amber clearly remembered Gao Zhixian and was very affectionate towards him. Gao Zhixian didn't hold back and directly made it the leader.

Pulling out its pink paw pads, I coldly and ruthlessly pressed the blood collection device onto it.

The amber tiger shuddered, feeling as if its paw had been bitten by an insect. After Gao Zhixian stepped back, it sniffed its paw.

Amber smelled a faint scent of blood on its paw and licked it with its tongue, looking aggrieved. Although it didn't hurt much, why did its first owner poke it with that little thing?

Lin Manman came over and ruffled its big head. "It's okay. I'll have him prepare a few more pieces of meat for you later."

Upon hearing that he would get more meat after being hit, Amber generously stretched out his paw in front of Gao Zhixian.

"Awoo~" Even if it comes, the tiger is not afraid of pain!

Lin Manman: ……

Well, all that heartache was for nothing.

"Eek?" Xiao Qi flew curiously closer to Gao Zhixian and tentatively reached out her hand.

"Good tree spirit, you don't need this, go play over there." Gao Zhixian patted Xiao Qi's head, and Xiao Qi seemed to be very affectionate towards him, the flower buds on its head even trembled.

Hearing him say that, Lin Manman became puzzled, "Why doesn't Xiao Qi need to be picked?"

"Well, there are two reasons. One is that tree spirits, which are spirit beasts formed from pure elements, are different from ordinary spirit beasts. They do not have blood, and their bodies are filled with pure elemental energy."

"Another reason is that although the forms of spirit beasts formed from pure elements may differ, they are all elemental spirits at their origin. Therefore, their evolutionary direction is fixed and singular, and has little reference value."

While explaining things to Lin Manman, Gao Zhixian didn't neglect his work. He changed the blood collection device and went to the honey badger.

The honey badger hesitated before extending its thick claws. It was puzzled as to whether this thin human, holding something the size of a nose, could really break through its thick skin and draw blood.

As Gao Zhixian pressed the blood collection device, the honey badger opened its mouth wide. Its proud physical defenses had actually been breached by this thing the size of a snout!

The honey badger looked at the small, weak human, then at the tiny thing in his hand, and although the sting was only brief, it felt like the sky had fallen!

These claws, trained every day to split rocks and cut through steel, were actually pierced by such a tiny creature!

Lin Manman was also startled. "Senior brother, what material is your blood collection device made of? The honey badger's physical defense is comparable to that of a level four warrior with a shield."

"Screw steel is the most economical and practical material for advanced professionals to forge weapons."

Silk, a material used by advanced professionals to make weapons, is it a bit too extravagant to use it for such a consumable?

"Only the tip of the needle is pure; otherwise, many spirit beasts with higher defense than your Black Rock Emperor Bear wouldn't be able to be examined."

Hearing that even spirit beasts with higher defenses had been defeated by the Nose-Grill artifact, the Honey Badger finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Ah-Dai was held by Gao Zhixian's wings, he still had a wise look in his eyes, but his eyes cleared for a moment when he was pricked by the blood collection device.

Hongyu was very enthusiastic, but when Gao Zhixian poked his head into the gaps in her scales, she turned around and buried her beautiful head in Lin Manman's arms, whimpering.

Silver Moon snorted disdainfully, raised its head high, and walked towards Gao Zhixian. As it passed Rainbow Jade, it didn't forget to step on its tail.

Lin Manman's gaze swept around and finally found Ruyi next to Pipi. "It seems you really like our new family."

"Squeak..."

Ruyi said she didn't know why, but she felt very calm and at ease when she was with Pipi.

That's really great. With Pipi around, Ruyi won't need desensitization treatment anymore.

Lin Manman touched the Ruyi with one hand and the Pipi with the other.

"In that case, you two should get along well. And you should give Pipi more guidance in his cultivation, understand?"

Ruyi nodded seriously, and under Lin Manman's caress, she squinted her beady eyes contentedly.

Pipi remained motionless, his eyes like those of an old monk who had seen through the illusions of the world.

Oh no, being too emotionally stable isn't a good thing. It's unlikely I'll be able to keep up with her promises in the future.

No, that won't work. We'll have to get Honey Badger and Ah-Dai to train it separately.

After a busy period, Gao Zhixian finally finished collecting blood from all of Lin Manman's spirit pets. His second task was to have Lin Manman select a few spirit beasts that met the requirements for bloodline awakening, and he would track and record the data of these spirit beasts.

This is easy to do, and I can also pick out my own spirit pet while I'm at it.

Since it was a rare opportunity for the spirit pets to see other spirit beasts, Lin Manman didn't take them back, but instead took them with her to wander around the research institute.

As usual, Xiaoqi and Ruyi found a spot to lie down on Lin Manman's body.

The most amazing thing is Pipi, who has somehow climbed onto Hongyu's back and stands there motionless, like a decoration.

After Lin Manman reminded her, Hongyu realized that Pipi was on her body. She didn't know when the guy had gotten on her, and she didn't even feel it.

After staring into Pipi's eyes for a long time, it suddenly couldn't bear to chase the newcomer away. Oh well, it can carry it; it's not heavy anyway.

Upon seeing this, Lin Manman couldn't help but marvel inwardly. No wonder Kapibala can ride anything.

There were too many areas in the research institute where spirit beasts lived. Fortunately, Gao Zhixian gave her a shorter route. She followed the route and visited the first area, which was the ecological area for deer-shaped spirit beasts.

Although there is more than one species of deer-like spirit beasts here, they are all gentle in nature. Each group guards its own area and does not disturb each other.

Yes, that's what Gao Zhixian said in his introduction, but it's clearly different from what she saw after arriving here.

Several distinct herds of deer were seen, separated by a small distance, each peacefully at peace.

However, there was a fawn that was over 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder. The fawn was pure white, with a burning flame on its tail and clear, glass-like antlers on its head. It was running wildly through several herds of fawns at an incredible speed.

Every now and then, it would let out a few soft cries, disturbing the peace of several herds of deer.

As it ran faster and faster, Lin Manman's eyes shone brighter and brighter. "Great! Great!"

The high-level legendary [Glassy Horned Deer] possesses an extremely high bloodline of the mid-level mythical deer.

It possesses both light and fire attributes, as well as two talent abilities. Its talent, "Blessing of Light," grants immunity to all dark attribute control and increases all stats by 50%.

[Divine Aura] can provide a comprehensive boost to attack, defense, and speed to friendly targets within a certain range, based on the user's own abilities.

Its skills are versatile, capable of attacking, healing, and providing support; it's incredibly well-rounded.

Lin Manman chuckled, took out her bracelet, took a picture of the little guy, and sent it to Meng Wenbin.

"Teacher, I'll be starting school in a few days, and I think I need a fast mount. What do you think of this one?"
