Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

The sand cave is very spacious.

The high temperature persisted, and flames continued to burn in the corner, their red light obscuring the area behind which was still covered by the barrier.

A lion-like pet with enormous wings stood in the center of the sand cave, its dark eyes watching the human and fox who had entered.

Its outstretched wings cast large shadows.

Ahri remained vigilant despite the oppressive atmosphere from the other side, ready to use spatial teleportation to take her beast tamer away at any moment.

Being so close, it instinctively felt that this pet was extremely dangerous, and that it could easily defeat it with a single blow...

Ignoring the mountain of fruit and various resources piled on the ground, Lin Su's attention was completely drawn to the pet beast opposite her.

The Fiery Griffin is a high-level pet beast with both fire and flight attributes. It is the species most closely related to and similar in bloodline to the legendary divine pet beast, the Fiery Griffin.

Possessing a strong sense of loyalty and honor, flying at extremely high speeds and naturally having a temperature higher than that of ordinary fire-type pets, they are skilled in combat, brave and fearless, and their racial maximum is the Venerable level.

Lin Su recalled the introduction of the Flaming Flying Lion in her mind.

Don't back down, don't back down...

Lin Su silently recited the words in her mind, gently holding Ah Li's raised tail in her hand, her face remaining calm.

Based on her limited experience with novels, the cave that appeared after the anomaly, the rare pet beast that appeared within the barrier, and her having a cheat-like ability, might just be some kind of mysterious test. The real story is yet to come.

"Blazing Flames".

The Flaming Lion watched Lin Su's reaction with great satisfaction, let out a majestic roar, and then raised its head slightly, like a king waiting for his subjects to answer.

Lin Su shook the tail in her hand.

"Huanhuan".

Ali promptly translated, saying, "Congratulations on passing its third test. It has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lin Su was slightly taken aback.

Has she already passed? Or is this the third one...? The things she encountered weren't independent of each other, and she couldn't figure out which one was the test it was giving her.

The desert is clearly trying to drive people away: endure the high temperatures, find the cave entrance, and what else?

However, she could think about the details later... She was more curious about the reward for passing the test.

The fact that the Flaming Lion had waited for her for so long proves that it definitely has something to deliver to her.

If it has already passed the test, it is definitely not a mission. Rare resources can also be ruled out. So it must be a contract or a pet egg... And pets usually do not choose a beast tamer of a lower rank than themselves, so it must be a pet egg?

Lin Su smiled politely and said, "Thank you."

Without further pleasantries or small talk, the Flaming Lion nodded, folded its wings, and then let out a cry to state its intentions:

"Blazing Flames".

"Huanhuan".

Ahri and her beast tamer translated in sync as much as possible.

It said there was a rare pet egg that could be given to Lin Su to take out, on the condition that it must form a contract with her after hatching.

Lin Su thought to herself, "Just as I thought."

But a contract with her is required? It's not just about giving gifts; there are additional conditions, it's taken to this extent...

"Is it your descendant?" Lin Su asked.

The Flaming Lion race is said to have difficulty producing offspring, so they cherish every cub in their race. If it is a member of their own race or their own offspring, it makes sense that they would deliberately set up tests.

Although she didn't understand why it wanted to find a beast tamer for its offspring, the combination of fire, flight, and fluffy fur perfectly matched its target pet...

Compared to cubs, pet eggs only have an extra step of hatching. Moreover, cubs will naturally develop a fondness for the first person they see after hatching. In fact, many people will specifically raise pet eggs for this reason, so that the hatched pets will be closer to the tamer.

She just didn't want the hassle of taking it with her all the time, and besides, pets can hear outside sounds while they're still in their eggs, which is like giving them prenatal education.

If it's a Flaming Lion's pet egg, what's a little trouble? She wouldn't feel at ease leaving it at home; what if it gets stolen or she's not the first person to see it?

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Su's mind in an instant, and she waited expectantly for the other party to continue.

"Blazing Flames".

The Flaming Lion nodded proudly and barked, indicating that it was of course its descendant.

Although it is only the managing beast of the desert area, its jurisdiction is the largest. How could it have time to pay attention to which pet beast has been contracted or which egg has been taken away? Let alone after it has been taken away.

It is only responsible for security and territorial issues.

It really is!

Lin Su was momentarily excited, but reason was ingrained in her bones and difficult to change. Her first reaction was not to agree but to ask:

"Can I take a look first?"

It's hard to agree to something without inspecting the goods first.

Upon hearing Lin Su's request, the Fiery Flying Lion hesitated for a moment before shifting its position, revealing the red barrier behind it, and let out a cry:

"Blazing Flames".

Then, it flapped its wings and scattered the Crimson Calamity Cloud Stones used to form the barrier on the ground. The barrier immediately disappeared, revealing a pet egg surrounded by numerous fire-type energy crystals.

My excited heart instantly calmed down.

Lin Su fell silent for a moment, wondering if the Fiery Flying Lion had been cheated on.

It was a pet egg with a large auspicious cloud pattern outlined in silver-gray lines. The eggshell, which was the cloud, was mostly fiery red and white, but the part near the top was ice blue.

There are usually obvious differences between the pet eggs of different species, making them not easy to mistake. Although she doesn't recognize them all, the color scheme of this one is clearly not right.

"Xiao Tu?" She immediately called for help from outside the venue.

The mechanical sound provided the answer:

"The Flaming Lion's pet egg has a golden-brown shell with red feather patterns. Judging from the pattern, this one should be the Snow Dream Beast's egg. As for the color, it's because the attribute hasn't been completely determined yet."

Lin Su paused for a moment.

Snow Dream Beast is a beginner-level pet with both Ice and Steel attributes. Its image became widely known because of a children's movie. Rather than its poetic race name, people prefer to affectionately call it "Crazy Big Dream".

It is indeed a rare pet, but fire is practically its natural enemy...

Moreover, it is not uncommon for pet eggs to undergo attribute changes due to environmental factors at birth, and ordinary species also have regional differences in appearance, which is a kind of adaptive change.

But this egg was deliberately placed here to be heated, and the changes are not yet complete... In short, there is definitely something wrong with this egg.

Seeing Lin Su standing still, the Flaming Flying Lion was also a little uneasy.

It was indeed as fast as possible, but the initial temperature couldn't be too high, so the secret realm opened before the attributes stabilized...

"Isn't it the egg of the Snow Dream Beast?" Lin Su asked in a more tactful way.

"Blazing Flames".

The Fiery Flying Lion immediately roared, looking somewhat anxious, and gestured to the fox cub to translate quickly.
