Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

After taking out the map from her backpack, Gu Ling placed it next to her along with her suitcase, emphasizing "traveling light".

"Hehe~" The mischievous little devil chuckled and floated to the suitcase, then grabbed a corner of the suitcase and backpack with his chubby little hands and threw them directly into his stomach.

After finishing, the mischievous ghost floated back to Ling's side, much to Wang Bing's astonishment.

Wang Bing was completely dumbfounded: "..." Damn! He forgot that this was a mutated glutton! It already had the ability to store items.

"It's nothing, I'll start the assessment now, see you later." Gu Ling waved.

"……become."

In the end, Wang Bing returned to the helicopter with mixed feelings.

"This mutated glutton... its stomach shouldn't have contained much food originally, right? I guess so?" Wang Bing was starting to have doubts, but he could only comfort himself with that thought.

This surprise assessment was designed to catch the trainees off guard and to see how they would react and handle unexpected situations in the unfamiliar and dangerous wilderness.

If Gu Ling hadn't discovered Wang Bing beforehand and brought it up in advance, Wang Bing wouldn't actually be so inhuman. At the very least, Gu Ling should have settled things properly, preferably on her way out for dinner in the evening when she had nothing on her, before stepping in to take him away.

……

on the ground.

As soon as the helicopter flew away, Gu Ling hurriedly looked at the mischievous boy: "Mischievous boy, bring out three small cakes."

After sitting in a car and on a plane for several hours, Gu Ling's stomach was growling with hunger.

The mischievous child took out three small cakes, which were then divided equally between the child and the two pets.

"Mmm...delicious." The moment the mini-cake entered her mouth, Gu Ling felt much better, mumbling, "With mini-cakes to eat, who needs compressed biscuits?"

Xian Jiu nodded in agreement: "Meow~" And there's also my fragrant bubble tea canned food~

Upon hearing this, the mischievous boy immediately rummaged in his belly and pulled out a jar of fragrant popcorn, handing it to Xian Jiu: "Hehe~" Plenty in stock, plenty to go around~

At this moment, the drone slowly flew up to Gu Ling, its red-lit camera pointed directly at her face.

Gu Ling was stunned.

hiss……

"I forgot there was a drone following us, sorry." Gu Ling waved to the drone with a smile.

On the other side, Wang Bing, who was really worried about checking the drone's monitoring footage, thought, "..." The thing he least wanted to see still happened.

Gu Ling finished the rest of the small cake in a couple of bites and calmly began to study the map.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... the air suddenly fell silent.

"This map... is quite unique." After a long while, Gu Ling sighed.

Gu Ling stared at the hand-drawn map in her hand, which looked no less than a three-year-old's scribbles, with a head full of questions. There were no decent reference points, and the map was not proportionally accurate.

Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost gathered around, curiously looking at the map in Gu Ling's hand.

"Meow~" Why did the sun on the right fall to the ground?

"Hehe~" What's that little red flag in the upper left corner? Is it edible?

In the end, after a long period of research, the person and their two pets managed to decipher some information.

The map didn't show the cardinal directions, but the large sun on the right was quite conspicuous. Gu Ling guessed that the right side was east, which was consistent with the normal map's orientation of north at the top, south at the bottom, west on the left, and east on the right.

The two red dots represent the starting point and the ending point. The small red flag next to it is the ending point. There are forests on both sides, and there is a river near the ending point. Gu Ling will have to cross the river to the other side.

"Ugh... no wonder no normal person can understand this lousy map," Gu Ling complained, then obediently compared his location with the map.

Before getting off the plane, Gu Ling's electronic devices were disconnected from the internet. Although they could still be turned on and used, they couldn't connect to the internet and therefore couldn't use location tracking to cheat.

"let's go."

After determining the departure route, Gu Ling gave the two little ones instructions: "Xian Jiu, you stay by my side at all times. You naughty boy, you're in charge of scouting the way."

"Miwoo~" Let's explore!

"Hehehe~" Treasure hunting~

Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost were both very excited, as this was a rare opportunity to come to the wilderness.

Xianjiu had never seen it before, and the mischievous ghost hadn't been in the wild for a long time. Compared to the congestion and constraints of the city, pets naturally prefer the freedom of the wild.

However, the two little ones' good mood quickly vanished.

Having just arrived, even with all the caution Gu Ling took, she was unfamiliar with the habitat layout of wild animals in the area and would occasionally encounter some wild animals along the way.

However, it's fine if you only encounter one or two lone insect-type or grass-type pets. With Xianjiu and Mischievous Ghost, two warrior-level pets, protecting you, ordinary wild pets wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Gu Ling.

But soon, Gu Ling's good luck ran out. She accidentally stumbled into the habitat of the yellowtail wasps and was discovered by the outer sentries of the yellowtail wasp swarm.

"Swordsman 9, Instant Teleportation!"

"Swordsman 9, Instant Teleportation!"

When faced with a large swarm of yellow-tailed bees chasing her, Gu Ling couldn't outrun them, so she had Xian Jiu use teleportation repeatedly to help her escape.

The mischievous bug that stayed behind to cover the rear kept exhaling smoke to obscure the Yellowtail Wasp's vision.

After several teleportations, Gu Ling ran a considerable distance before finally shaking off the Yellowtail Bee swarm.

"I'm so tired..."

Because she had run so intensely, Gu Ling felt like her lungs were about to explode. Seeing a flat, open space, she didn't care if she got her clothes dirty and just sat down.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the ground collapsed, creating a hole, and Gu Ling fell into it without warning.

"Meow!" Xian Jiu was shocked to see her beast tamer disappear in a flash and ran over to him.

Xian Jiu stood at the edge of the cave entrance, sticking her little head out to look down, anxiously calling out, "Meow!" Beastmaster, are you alright?

"...Ouch!" Gu Ling clutched her sore buttocks and gasped, "Xian Jiu, quickly use your telekinesis to take me up."

Almost as soon as Gu Ling finished speaking, a muddy head popped out of the soil inside the cave, its two small eyes staring blankly at Gu Ling, the intruder who had suddenly appeared.

Gu Ling was taken aback: "This is... a little groundhog?"

Gu Ling remembered that this was a pet beast that loved to dig holes and tunnels everywhere. Under normal circumstances, it was very docile, except for one situation...

The next second, Gu Ling saw more and more little ground squirrels emerging from the soil, densely packed together, and their eyes seemed to be staring at Gu Ling with hostility.

"Chirp~"

The swarm of ground squirrels let out a piercing cry, then buried their heads in the dirt and charged toward Gu Ling!
