Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.

Especially with the final destination, the depression, so close at hand, the young bluebird flapped its wings, ready to rush out and fight these ferocious birds!

"Hey... wait!" Gu Ling quickly stopped the young bluebird from rushing out.

"There are four Fiery Birds here. We can't take them down in one hit if we fight them head-on. It would easily attract reinforcements from other Fiery Birds."

After calming the young bluebird, Gu Ling turned to Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost: "Mischievous ghost, use smoke and strange light."

"Xian Jiu, use teleportation and hypnosis."

Upon receiving the order, Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost bowed solemnly and immediately took action.

The mischievous creature first stood upwind, opened its mouth and exhaled puffs of smoke, which drifted with the wind towards the guarding mad birds.

Using the smoke as cover, the mischievous ghost hid inside, while Xian Jiu used teleportation to get close to the raging birds in the blink of an eye.

[Strange Rays]

Hypnosis

Caught off guard, the four raging birds were hit directly.

The two mad birds hit by the strange light began to sway and spin around in circles, while the other two mad birds, hypnotized, drooped their eyelids and eventually fell asleep.

"Meow~"

As the smoke cleared, Xian Jiu turned her head and gave Gu Ling an "OK" sign.

Seeing this, Gu Ling and You Qingque rushed over.

Without the obstruction of the raging bird guards, the three of them passed through without hindrance and found a wounded blue peacock at the bottom of the depression.

"Is he your leader?" Gu Ling turned to ask the young blue sparrow.

The young bluebird nodded happily.

It's the leader!

We've really found the leader!

After confirming her identity, Gu Ling ran downstairs in a few steps.

Below, the injured old leader of the blue peacocks sensed the commotion. Looking up, he saw a strange human, and his eyes flashed with intense hostility and wariness. He roared, "...Sparrow! Get lost! Human!"

Under that fierce gaze, Gu Ling silently took two steps back: "Young Blue Sparrow."

The next second, the young bluebird behind Gu Ling rushed to the old leader with tears in its eyes.

The old leader of the Blue Peacocks was a little confused when he saw the young Blue Peacock suddenly appear behind Gu Ling: "Sparrow~" How did you get here?

The young bluebird quickly explained, "Sparrow~ Sparrow~" Leader, we've come to rescue you!

"Hello, Chief." Seeing that the old chief's emotions had stabilized considerably, Gu Ling gave a brief self-introduction: "I am a beast tamer invited by your observers. This is my temporary work permit, and you should recognize the work uniform I'm wearing, right?"

For convenience, Gu Ling not only wore a temporary work permit tonight, but also borrowed an observer's uniform from Fang Miao to wear, ensuring that she could gain the trust of the old leader of the Green Peacock as quickly as possible.

Having lived in the reserve for so many years, the old leader of the blue peacocks was naturally very familiar with the observers' uniforms. With the help of the young blue peacocks, the wariness and hostility in the old leader's eyes disappeared.

The young bluebird looked at its leader's body covered in wounds, the most serious of which were on its wings, and couldn't help but feel sorry for it and cried out, "Sparrow~" Leader, you have suffered.

The old leader shook his head slightly: "Sparrow..." I'm fine.

Gu Ling coughed lightly and interjected, "Let's catch up outside. Let's leave here as soon as possible."

"Chief, are you still able to move?"

Upon hearing this, the old leader of the Green Peacock struggled to his feet. He took only a few steps forward before his steps became unsteady.

Clearly, with its injured wing and little strength left, the old peacock leader was now having difficulty even walking.

Seeing this, Gu Ling bent down, picked up Xian Jiu, and patted Xian Jiu's head: "Xian Jiu, use your telekinesis to move the old leader out later."

Xian Jiu nodded: "Meow~" Leave it to me~

Although Xianjiu can use telekinesis to move the old leader, there is still a long way to go before they can completely leave the habitat of the Mad Bird.

It must have been very difficult for Xianjiu to maintain this for so long.

Gu Ling took out her phone and quickly called Fang Yue: "Fang Miao, the old leader is injured and can't walk on his own. Could you drive the car a little closer to meet us?"

"good!"

Fang Miao on the other end quickly agreed and ended the call.

"You little rascal, you lead the way."

"The young bluebird is responsible for covering the rear."

The mischievous boy and the young bluebird nodded in unison.

After instructing the three little ones, Gu Ling turned to the old leader of the Azure Peacock again: "Leader, please do not resist. Xian Jiu will use his telekinetic power to take you out."

The old leader of the Blue Peacocks nodded slightly.

Then, a sliver of blue light appeared in Xianjiu's cat-like eyes, and she stared intently at the old leader of the Azure Peacock.

The next second, the old leader of the Azure Peacock was controlled by telekinesis and lifted into the air, floating away towards the outside.

The mischievous boy quickly followed.

And so, the one person and four pets began their return journey, everything seemed to be going smoothly, until...

"……strong!"

A piercing scream rang out from above.

Immediately afterwards, an injured mad pheasant fell from the sky like a cannonball, hitting Gu Ling precisely in front of him and blocking his way.

"……Forehead?"

"...Meow?"

"...Heh heh?"

The raging bird struggled to its feet, but soon noticed several pairs of eyes staring at it. When it turned its neck and saw Gu Ling and his accomplices, it was stunned.

For a moment, the two stared at each other blankly.

Gu Ling shouted, "Xian Jiu!"

A fierce glint flashed in Xianjiu's cat-like eyes!

Whoosh!

A blur flashed by!

Before the mad raven could react, a cat's paw appeared in front of it, growing larger and larger!

boom!

The Mad Bird was kicked away, and as it flew into the air, Xian Jiu suddenly appeared behind it and then used a double kick.

boom! boom! boom!

In just a few seconds, the Mad Bird was kicked more than a dozen times by Xian Jiu. When it fell to the ground, it was already bruised and swollen, and had lost a lot of feathers.

The mischievous creature floated over, its chubby little hands forming eagle claws as it grabbed at the head of the raging bird, forcing it to look into its blood-red eyes. Then it unleashed a strange beam of light, causing the bird's consciousness to become confused.

Then, the mischievous boy picked up a rock from the side and smashed it hard on the head of the mad bird, knocking it unconscious.

Seeing that everything was settled, Gu Ling said, "Let's go."

Xian Jiu jumped back into Gu Ling's arms and continued to use her telekinesis to control the old leader of the Azure Peacock, making him move forward while suspended in mid-air.

After this little incident, the mischievous boy also began to pay attention to the raging birds that could fall from the sky at any moment.

When they encountered a few more Fiery Birds, without Gu Ling saying a word, the mischievous guy immediately took action, using a combination of smoke, strange beams, and knocking them unconscious.

"...Gu Ling! Over here!"

After Gu Ling had driven quite a distance, he saw car lights flashing ahead.

Fang Miao drove over to pick them up.

Fang Miao's car has a seat in the front for people to sit in, and a large space in the back for loading goods.

Gu Ling's face lit up with joy: "Xian Jiu, put the leader in the car."

With some difficulty, Xian Jiu continued to use her telekinesis to control the old leader of the Azure Peacock to float up and then slowly descend.

After doing all this, Xian Jiu relaxed completely, her little tongue lolling out as she breathed out in exhaustion.

"Xian Jiu, well done." Gu Ling patted Xian Jiu's head and turned to look at the young bluebird: "Young bluebird, go and tell everyone to retreat quickly."

"Sparrow~" The young bluebird nodded, flapped its wings, and flew away.

Fang Miao urged, "Gu Ling, get in the car."

"it is good."

"..."

When we drove back to the peacock's habitat, the peacocks that had gone to provoke the mad finches returned after being notified by the young peacocks.

Although the peacocks' feint attack was just a diversionary tactic and they didn't actually fight the mad peacocks, the peacocks are now all standing tall and proud, as if they had won a battle.

After Gu Ling sent Xian Jiu to inquire, he immediately understood the reason.

It turned out that three more peacocks had suddenly appeared on the peacock flock, having learned the singing skill, which greatly enhanced the flock's strength. As a result, the peacocks had a relatively easy time in this battle.

"Sparrow~" I knew I was a genius, one in a million!

The three blue peacocks that had just learned to sing that day were now revered as heroes by the rest of the flock and were highly sought after.

At such a coincidence, they actually mastered the chanting skill today. This is not only genius, but also... what that little cat called "the chosen ones"!

After Fang Miao took the old leader of the Azure Peacock to receive treatment, she finally had a chance to say to Gu Ling, "Gu Ling, thank you."

"It's nothing." Gu Ling waved her hand, then stretched. "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep now."

As for how to treat the old leader of the Azure Peacock, that was beyond Gu Ling's ability to help.

"Just in case, have the blue peacocks keep an eye out tonight. If the mad birds discover that the old leader is missing, they might assume that the blue peacocks rescued him and could come looking for trouble."

"Mm." Fang Miao nodded.

Exhausted after a long night, Gu Ling took Xian Jiu and the mischievous boy back to rest, falling asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

……

On the morning of the third day.

Gu Ling was awakened by the sound of a truck.

When Gu Ling came downstairs, she saw several trucks in the protected area, and Fang Yue, who had disappeared for two days, was standing next to them.

"Good morning, Fang Yue." Gu Ling walked over and greeted her.

Fang Yue turned around and saw that it was Gu Ling. She smiled and said, "Fang Miao has already told me about the old leader's matter. Thank you, Gu Ling."

"You're welcome, I've already received the money," Gu Ling replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yue couldn't help but chuckle, and then continued, "We really didn't expect that the old leader of the Blue Peacock was in the habitat of the Mad Bird. The Mad Bird basically drives away all intruders who invade its habitat, and rarely surrounds them."

"Because the old leader injured its wing and could not fly away from its habitat, and because it was very strong, ordinary mad birds could not do anything to it, so the two sides were stuck in a stalemate."

This is a protected area, and the observers do not interfere excessively with the lives of the animals, maintaining the wild and natural ecology to the greatest extent possible. They generally observe and record from the sidelines, similar to "free-range" animals.

Unlike pet hatcheries, which meticulously care for every pet and leave no room for error, this place is more like a "nursery."

Gu Ling pointed to the other workers unloading goods: "The contents of these trucks..."

Fang Yue explained, "The Mandarin Duck Fruit is needed for the peacocks' mating activities. We made several trips to finally get everything ready."

"Then I'll head over to the peacock habitat first."

"Okay, see you later."

When Gu Ling returned to the peacock habitat, she could clearly feel that the atmosphere within the group was much lighter than before.

The old leader of the blue peacocks was found, and the entire flock of blue peacocks seemed to have found its backbone again. From top to bottom, whether it was the blue peacocks that had finally evolved or the little blue peacocks that had just hatched and were learning to walk, they all became full of fighting spirit.

Many of the blue peacocks greeted Gu Ling warmly upon her arrival.

"Good morning, everyone~" Gu Ling waved with a smile.

Two days ago, when Gu Ling first arrived, the peacocks were very protective of their young and didn't want her to get close to their pet eggs, fearing that something might happen.

As a result, Gu Ling was unable to touch the peacock's pet egg.

But now...

Gu Ling became a "great hero" in rescuing the old leader and was very popular with the peacock flock, so she should have no problem touching the pet eggs.

After finding Fang Miao, Gu Ling inquired about the old leader of the Azure Peacock Clan: "How are the old leader's injuries?"

Fang Miao replied, "I spent the night in the medical pod last night, and I feel much better today. This injury will take a month to heal. I've focused on treating the wing injury and hope to be able to fly briefly in two days so that all the peacocks can get through their mating season... This is also the old leader's own idea."

"Hmm." Gu Ling continued, "What's the situation with the Mad Bird?"

Although Gu Ling went back to sleep last night.

However, since I was able to sleep so soundly, nothing major must have happened last night.

Fang Miao shrugged: "There was a commotion last night, but Uncle Lin and the other Wild Bird observers managed to persuade me to go back."

"By the way, that young bluebird is quite strong. Now that the old leader has been rescued, it should be able to evolve without any worries, right?" Gu Ling asked.

Fang Miao suddenly asked mysteriously, "Gu Ling, have you ever witnessed a pet beast evolve?"

"No." Gu Ling shook her head.

Let alone evolution, even breaking through strength levels... Gu Ling wasn't by Xian Jiu's side when he broke through in the Starry Sky Training Camp, and I've always regretted not being able to witness it in person.

"On the night of the full moon two days from now, you might have a chance to witness the evolution of the young bluebirds."

Gu Ling was somewhat surprised: "Young bluebirds? There's more than one?"

"Um."

Fang Miao's tone revealed a certain excitement: "Usually, when the moonlit blessing is performed, all the blue peacocks start chanting, which to a certain extent triggers the collective evolution of the little blue peacocks or young blue peacocks. It's a... very magical and amazing scene."

"Really? Then I'm starting to look forward to it."

Collective evolution.

This is a rare "spectacle" that would be seen in any species of pet.

After saying goodbye to Fang Miao, Gu Ling wandered around the habitat for a while and finally found the peacock pet egg that she had been longing for.

During a break, as Gu Ling began to ponder how to ensure the smooth progress of the subsequent tasks, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head, and beckoned to Xian Jiu and the mischievous boy: "Xian Jiu, mischievous boy, come here~"

"I'm giving you a task."

Upon hearing this, Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost curiously gathered around.
