Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

the other side.

Among the blue peacocks, a small young blue peacock looked on in surprise: "Sparrow~" How come you suddenly learned to sing?

One of the blue peacocks, who had just learned to sing, puffed out its chest proudly: "Sparrow~" A kitten said, "We are geniuses! We can learn it just by looking at it once!"

Suddenly, a big question mark seemed to appear on the young bluebird's forehead: Huh?

Despite patiently listening to his companions' endless flattery, the young bluebird still didn't gain any useful information.

Even after being persuaded by its companions, the young bluebird listened to many of its companions' loud singing with a skeptical attitude.

However, no "miracle" occurred to him.

It still hasn't learned the [Chant] skill.

Finally, the young bluebird lowered its head, sighed, and turned away dejectedly.

Forget it, it's not a genius after all.

It should continue training.

Not far away, Gu Ling observed that the blue peacocks did not seem to suspect anything, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems the deception tactic used in Sword and Fairy 9 was quite successful!

Gu Ling.

At this moment, Fang Miao walked over hurriedly: "Uncle Lin and the others sent a drone into the habitat of the Mad Birds, and sure enough, they found a blue peacock trapped inside. However, they couldn't get too close, so they can't confirm for the time being whether that blue peacock is the old leader."

Even if it's not 100% confirmed now, it's highly likely that it's the old leader of the Azure Peacock that we've been searching for.

The number of pet animals in the reserve is recorded.

In the past few days, Fang Miao and the other observers were afraid that another blue peacock might be missing. They counted the total number of blue peacocks every other day. Except for the missing old leader of the blue peacocks, all the other blue peacocks were still there.

Gu Ling wasn't too surprised by the answer, but simply asked, "So, the next step is to bring the old leader of the Blue Peacocks out of the Wild Birds' habitat. Your reserve should be able to do that, right?"

Gu Ling's task is to help the peacock flock get through the critical mating period, and finding the old leader of the peacocks is not a hard requirement of the task.

Fang Miao looked somewhat troubled: "It's possible, but we'd still like to ask Gu Ling for your help."

The mad peacocks are known for holding grudges; the fact that they've kept their nemesis in their habitat for days is clearly a way of venting their anger on the old leader of the blue peacocks.

If the observers in the reserve openly show favoritism towards the peacock flock, they will lose the trust of the frenzied birds, and they may become unruly in the next step.

"Got it, you want me, an outsider, to be the bad guy, right?" After hearing Fang Miao's explanation, Gu Ling immediately understood.

Fang Miao smiled and said, "You could say that."

Beside him, the mischievous boy couldn't contain his excitement: "Hehehe~" The little devil is going to be the big bad guy!

Xian Jiu, sitting next to Gu Ling, pouted, looking arrogant and unwilling to go along with the scoundrels: "Meow~" This cat is a great hero! I would never do anything underhanded!

"This isn't petty theft." Gu Ling reached out and ruffled Xian Jiu's hair, her tone firm and resolute: "This is a righteous rescue plan!"

Xian Jiu was somewhat skeptical: "...Meow?"

Gu Ling coaxed, "Xian Jiu, think about it, why did we come here to do this mission?"

Xian Jiu blinked her cat-like eyes.

"Meow~" Training? To earn a little money to buy dried fish?

"What are the requirements for this mission?"

"Meow~" helps the blue peacock get through its mating season?

Why do the blue peacocks need help? Did the mad pheasants bully them?

Hearing this, Xian Jiu vaguely felt that she understood something.

Oh right~

The peacocks were bullied!

I'm their savior, here to help them drive away the (mad) villain (bird)!

Just like Meow Meow Ranger!!

"Yes! That's right! Xianjiu is the second generation of Meow Meow Ranger!" Gu Ling continued to encourage.

Upon hearing this, Xian Jiu couldn't help but rub her hands together eagerly, and jumped up from Gu Ling's shoulder: "Meow~" Let's hurry and rescue the trapped old leader of the Azure Peacock!

Fang Miao stared at the puzzling conversation between the owner and the pet, somewhat bewildered: "Um... Gu Ling, what's a Meow Meow Ranger? And why is your Thunder Seal Cat suddenly so excited?"

Gu Ling smiled and said, "Ahem, Xian Jiu likes to do good deeds, and it also wants to rescue the old leader of the Azure Peacock."

Xian Jiu nodded repeatedly.

The mischievous ghost floated above Gu Ling's head. Seeing that the Beast Tamer was a human and was talking nonsense, it covered its mouth and secretly chuckled.

"……oh oh."

Gu Ling returned to the main topic: "Fang Miao, what's the situation inside the Fiery Bird habitat as captured by the drone? How is the old leader of the Blue Peacocks doing?"

"The flock of ferocious birds sends out a group to guard the low-lying area at all times, and they even take turns to change shifts, which is very strict," Fang Miao began to explain the current situation.

"However, judging from the fact that the Mad Flying Birds are only keeping a defensive posture, the old leader of the Blue Peacock should not be in too bad a situation. At least the Mad Flying Birds believe that the old leader is still a threat, so they are hesitant to attack directly and can only surround him."

"We don't know how much longer the old leader can hold on. A rescue operation is imminent. The commotion of the mad birds last night was likely an attempt to organize a force to attack the old leader. It could be a test or a way to wear him down."

Gu Ling nodded in agreement: "Indeed, let's set the time for tonight."

"Now, let's discuss the details..."

Suddenly, a young bluebird peeked out from behind a nearby tree, took a few steps, and blocked Gu Ling's path, flapping its wings vigorously: "...Bird!"

"This is... a young bluebird?"

Although there are many young bluefin finches in the habitat, Gu Ling was able to roughly distinguish the special young bluefin finch because of the extra attention it received.

The young bluebird in front of us is exactly that "special" young bluebird.

Originally, the young bluebird wanted to continue training.

Halfway through the training, he was still a little unwilling to give up, so he went back to continue questioning his three companions who had suddenly mastered the [Chanting] skill.

Later, they learned from their companions that a kitten had confidently declared that they were all geniuses, a once-in-a-century talent.

So the young bluebird sneaked over, wanting to ask Xianjiu for advice and to see if it was a genius. As a result, the young bluebird overheard the old leader's whereabouts.

Gu Ling immediately turned to look at Xian Jiu: "Xian Jiu, what is it saying?"

Xian Jiu jumped to the ground, took the initiative to approach the young blue sparrow, and began to chat.

"Meow~ Meow~"

"Bird~Bird~"

Xian Jiu suddenly realized: "Meow~" So you wanted to go rescue the old leader together~

"Sparrow~" The young blue sparrow nodded firmly.

"You want to do your part too?" At this moment, Gu Ling squatted down and took the opportunity to reach out and touch the young bluebird's head.

-

Gu Ling's gaze lingered slightly on the resources of the young bluebird.

This bird hasn't even evolved into a blue peacock yet, and it already has 460 points of high-level aptitude. Other blue peacocks with high aptitude only have this many points.

If it evolves in the future, there might be a chance to raise its aptitude to 500 points.

Although the young bluebird did not learn the [Chant] skill, it did master the advanced skill of Feather Perch, and its comprehension was not bad.

Gu Ling suddenly thought of a question: "Young Bluebird, you're so strong, why haven't you evolved into a Blue Peacock yet?"

"...Sparrow." The young blue sparrow's expression turned somewhat disappointed.

The old leader once promised me that he would personally "bless" me when I evolved.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ling blinked and silently turned her head to glance at the mischievous ghost floating behind her.

Gu Ling: You little rascal, does this look familiar?

Mischievous Kid: Hehe~ Seems so~ ╰(*°▽°*)╯

"As long as we rescue the old leader together, he can 'bless' you on the night of the full moon four days from now," Gu Ling said, patting the young blue sparrow's head to comfort it.

The young bluebird flapped its wings happily: "Bird~"

"Fang Miao, what are your plans?" After resolving the issue with the young blue sparrow, Gu Ling stood up and looked at Fang Miao.

Fang Miao replied, "We plan to lure the flock of mad birds away from the old leader's location with food. Then, Gu Ling, you can sneak in and bring the old leader out. We've arranged a car to pick you up outside."

"Is the food tempting?"

Gu Ling glanced down at the baby bluebird at her feet, pondered for two seconds, and said, "Perhaps we can try a different approach. Let the blue peacocks provoke the mad birds. In a fight involving two different species, the mad birds will definitely send out most of their elites to fight back."

"Well... it wouldn't be good if the two groups got too into a fight." Fang Miao hesitated.

"Don't worry about that. Just let the young bluebird explain to its companions that this is just a feint attack, not a real fight." Gu Ling pointed to the young bluebird, who was still reluctant to leave.

Fang Miao's brows relaxed slightly, and she smiled as she looked down at the young bluebird: "Young bluebird, then I'll leave it to you."

The young bluebird nodded happily: "Bird~"

……

Half an hour later, all the blue peacocks were gathered together.

Gu Ling stood on a large rock and spoke loudly:

"Now, let's begin to formulate a battle plan to rescue the old leader of the Blue Peacock Clan—"

"Sparrow~" The peacocks flapped their wings in response to Gu Ling.

Gu Ling raised her right hand, made a fist, signaling the blue peacocks to quiet down, and then continued speaking:

"The first step is for the peacocks to move out in groups to provoke the ferocious flock, enrage them, and lure them out of their habitat, which will also make it easier for us to infiltrate."

"The second step is for me, my pet, and the young bluebird to infiltrate the mad bird's habitat and rescue the old leader."

"The third step was for Fang Miao to drive outside the habitat to meet us."

"Finally, after we rescue the old leader, the young bluebird can go back and report the news so that the blue peacocks can retreat as a whole."

After explaining the battle plan, Gu Ling began the next round of deployment.

"Now let's assign some homework."

Gu Ling pointed at Xian Jiu and Mischievous Ghost, her voice carrying a hint of seriousness: "Xian Jiu, Mischievous Ghost, you two give the Blue Peacocks some emergency training, teach them how to quickly provoke the Berserker Birds."

Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost quickly stepped forward.

"Meow~" When it comes to teasing people, this cat is a pro!

"Hehe~" Mission accomplished!

Then, Gu Ling turned to Fang Miao beside her and said, "Fang Miao, could you please plan out the shortest and least detectable route from the infiltration point to the old leader's location?"

Fang Miao nodded: "Okay, no problem."

The young bluebird flapped its wings anxiously, constantly seeking attention at Gu Ling's feet.

Gu Ling jumped off the rock, smiled at the young bluebird, and then said in a serious and earnest tone, "Young bluebird, the old chief doesn't recognize me. When you see the old chief, you can explain the situation to it."

"Sparrow~" Upon hearing that he also had a specific task, the young blue sparrow happily agreed.

Having learned of the old leader's whereabouts, all the blue peacocks were full of energy.

As the sun set and night fell... the plan to rescue the old leader officially began!

Most of the blue peacocks left their habitat and flew in an orderly fashion to the habitat of the mad shrews.

At the same time, Fang Miao was also driving, taking Gu Ling and the young bluebird from another location to the habitat of the raging bird.

Large numbers of blue peacocks appeared in the skies above the habitat of the mad strife, and without any attempt to conceal themselves, they quickly attracted the attention of the mad strife flock.

Several strong peacocks flew out from the group and then launched a barrage of verbal attacks on the newly arrived mad birds.

"Sparrow~" A bunch of scruffy little chicks! You'd better come over and kowtow to your grandpa right now!

"Chirp~" My grandchildren! Grandma has come to visit you!

"Sparrow~" Oh my~ It's been a few days, how come you scraggly free-range chickens are getting uglier and uglier?

The already short-tempered Fiery Bird was enraged when it saw that the Blue Peacock, which it had always suppressed, dared to come and provoke it!

The leader of the Berserkers let out a shrill cry of rage: "Aaaaaah! Pluck their feathers! Let them see who the real scraggly little pup is!"

Suddenly, a chaotic battle broke out in the sky.

"..."

On the ground, Gu Ling looked up and saw that the two groups of pet beasts in the sky had started fighting. He immediately led Xian Jiu and the others into the habitat of the Mad Bird.

Along the way, Gu Ling rode his bicycle, carrying Xian Jiu and You Qing Que, while the mischievous ghost was responsible for clearing the way ahead. If they encountered a Mad Bird, he would come back to inform Gu Ling and then go around it.

Most of the Fiery Birds were drawn to the Blue Peacocks, while the remaining Fiery Birds guarded the Fiery Bird's pet eggs and cubs.

Finally, when Gu Ling arrived at the place where the old leader of the Azure Peacock was trapped, he only saw four fierce birds landed on the nearby rocks, their sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, clearly on guard duty.
