Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

After the peacocks finished their 'prelude dance,' the old leader led the remaining peacocks out.

Under the silver moon and inky night, streaks of light, like cyan sprites, danced freely. With each movement, their beautiful tail feathers resembled ribbons plated with silver light, outlining their nimble shadows. The occasional soft chirping sounds blended perfectly into this visual feast.

Gu Ling rested her hands on the balcony, tilting her head slightly to look at the 'visual feast' in the night sky, while Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost beside her were also stunned.

"The Fiery Birds are here." Suddenly, Fang Miao spoke up.

In the distance, a dark, shadowy shape gradually appeared on the horizon, approaching the observation deck.

As if sensing something, the blue peacocks let out a short cry, unlike their usual sounds, more like an alarm.

Soon, the outermost peacocks responsible for guarding the perimeter quickly adjusted their formation in mid-air, ready for battle.

On the ground, the young bluebirds spontaneously organized themselves, surrounding the weaker little bluebirds in the middle, while keeping a wary eye on the fierce flock of birds that were coming on strong.

The moment the main forces of the Blue Peacock and the Mad Bird met in the air, the two sides, who regarded each other as enemies, immediately broke into a chaotic battle.

Gu Ling sized up the flock of Fiery Birds. The lead Fiery Bird was clearly more ferocious than the others, both in its eyes and its aura. So she asked, "Is that larger Fiery Bird the leader?"

"That's right." Fang Miao nodded.

"This styrofoil defeated the previous styrofoil leader five years ago, drove out the seriously injured old leader, and then became the new styrofoil leader. Although its strength is rated as warrior level, it feels like it is close to lord level."

The system by which the Fiery Birds elect their leader is not as peaceful as that of the Blue Peacocks; it is more brutal.

Within the Fiery Bird clan, anyone who believes they are capable of becoming leader can challenge the current leader at any time. The victor becomes the leader, while the loser is expelled from the clan.

In the wild, a mad strife driven from its flock may be lucky enough to join another mad strife flock, but if its injuries are too severe, its final fate may be to die in some corner of the world.

"Fierce~"

"Sparrow~"

At first, the blue peacocks fought and retreated, but after forming a protective circle around the little blue peacocks, they attempted to counterattack.

But then, the leader of the Mad Birds let out a loud cry, and its broad wings flapped forcefully, creating a powerful gust of wind that directly blew the blue peacock at the front away!

Gu Ling's attention was mostly focused on the leader of the Mad Birds. She quickly noticed that the peacocks that approached the leader seemed to slow down and their flight movements became stiff and less fluid.

"...It's the aura of a lord!" Fang Miao exclaimed in surprise.

"The leader of the raging birds has already comprehended the 'Lord's Aura,' so it should be breaking through to the Lord level soon. This is going to be trouble for the blue peacocks."

All lord-level pets possess a 'lord aura'; the weaker the pet, the greater the influence of the lord aura.

At best, it will put the opponent in a state of "intimidation", reducing their attack and speed; at worst, it will cause the opponent to lose their will to fight and retreat and run away.

In the wild, in larger pet beast groups, the leader is usually at least a lord-level pet beast, which is partly due to the 'lord aura'.

A leader in a group possesses a "lordly aura," which makes it easier to manage the group and divide its territory.

Gu Ling was taken aback: "Lord-level pets, aren't they supposed to be relocated within the protected area? Can you move the Mad Bird leader away now?"

Currently, almost no Blue Peacock can suppress the leader of the Mad Birds. If the fighting continues without finding a solution, the Blue Peacocks' fighting spirit will soon collapse.

Behind the two, Fang Yue walked out of the house, her face not showing much relief: "Not yet."

"The leader of the raging birds has not yet truly broken through to the lord level. Strictly speaking, its strength is only at the warrior level, and the reserve cannot interfere."

"On the Blue Peacock side, the old leader of the Blue Peacock was originally close to the Lord level, but due to this injury, his strength has declined somewhat, and his injury has not yet healed... At present, there is no opponent in the Blue Peacock flock who can contend with the leader of the Mad Bird."

Fang Miao also looked worried: "But we've only grasped the Lord's aura, and haven't fully advanced to the Lord level yet, so we can't make a move."

Both Fang sisters are three-star beast tamers, and each has contracted a lord-level pet beast.

This is also standard equipment for observers in the Bishugang Nature Reserve. Each observer has contracted at least one lord-level pet, so that they can take action to stop any sudden incidents.

"Gu Ling, it's all up to you." Fang Miao patted Gu Ling on the shoulder.

Seeing that there was no way to slack off, Gu Ling said directly, "Since we can't beat the leader of the Mad Birds one-on-one, let's have a group fight."

Fang Miao was somewhat puzzled: "A group fight? How could it be a group fight?"

Gu Ling turned to Xian Jiu beside her: "Xian Jiu, go and tell the old leader of the Azure Peacocks to come over. I have arrangements."

Xian Jiu raised her little head: "Meow~" Received~

So, Xian Jiu jumped off the observation platform and used her telekinesis to control her body to float towards the direction of the old leader of the Azure Peacock.

Gu Ling took a moment to glance at the description of chanting skills in the Beast Taming Ancient Book.

[Chant]: A normal-type skill that heals the pain of oneself and allies by emitting beautiful and melodious songs, and increases attack and speed by 70% for a short period of time.

Not only can it heal, but it can also boost attack and speed by 70%, which is practically cheat code.

If used properly, even a mere Fiery Bird leader that has grasped the "Lord's Aura" can be easily overwhelmed by a group of enemies!

Soon, Xian Jiu arrived with a flock of blue peacocks: "Meow~" Beastmaster, we're here~

Looking at the 27 blue peacocks in front of him who had learned the singing skill, Gu Ling got straight to the point: "To catch the thief, you must first catch the leader. The Mad Birds bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as we defeat their leader first, the rest of the Mad Birds will naturally collapse."

"However, the leader of the Fiery Birds has mastered the 'Lord's Aura' and is very powerful. I need your cooperation to gang up on him!"

One of the blue peacocks spoke up: "Sparrow~" Then tell me what to do.

"You, you, and you..." Gu Ling quickly pointed out 15 of the blue peacocks: "You will each divide into three groups and be responsible for casting [Chant] on the companions attacking the leader of the mad peacocks. If they are not strong enough, let the next group take over."

"The remaining 12 blue peacocks are responsible for boosting the main force and protecting the little blue peacocks and young blue peacocks. They are also divided into three groups, and when they are exhausted, they are replaced by the next group."

The chanting skill has a significant auxiliary effect, but it consumes too much of the user's stamina, which is why Gu Ling made this "shift" arrangement.

After arranging the blue peacocks in front of him, Gu Ling continued to instruct Xian Jiu: "Xian Jiu, find the old leader of the blue peacocks again and have it select the 30 strongest blue peacocks from the clan, divide them into three groups, and surround and attack the leader of the Mad Birds."

"If anyone is injured and falls to the ground, members of the other two groups should immediately take their place. We absolutely cannot give the leader of the raging birds even a chance to catch his breath."

Gu Ling not only wanted to engage in a group brawl, but also planned to use a tag-team approach.

Xian Jiu's cat-like eyes lit up slightly: "Meow~" It's just teaming up to fight a boss~ This is my forte~

After enthusiastically agreeing, Xianjiu led the group of blue peacocks away.

The mischievous imp beside him, not wanting to be left out, floated over and stared at Gu Ling expectantly: "Hehe~" Beastmaster, does this imp have any missions?

Gu Ling, of course, hadn't forgotten the mischievous one: "Mischievous one, in a moment, use smoke to cover the Blue Peacock's 'assault' squad, giving them a chance to gang up on the leader of the Mad Birds."

The Blue Peacock and the Mad Bird are evenly matched, but the Blue Peacock is now also distracted by protecting the weaker little Blue Peacocks and young Blue Peacocks, so they are basically at a disadvantage.

If the Blue Peacocks mobilize their elites to gang up on the leader of the Mad Frenzy Birds, the remaining Blue Peacocks will be even less able to defeat the ordinary Mad Frenzy Birds in terms of both strength and numbers.

The mad birds weren't stupid; they couldn't just stand by and watch their leader get ganged up on.

The mischievous boy immediately became serious and saluted Gu Ling: "Hehe~" Received~
