Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

"Swordsman 9!"

Just a second before the little groundhogs were about to crash into Gu Ling, Xian Jiu used her telekinesis to pull Gu Ling up.

After landing, Gu Ling carefully stepped onto solid ground and breathed a sigh of relief: "...If someone breaks into the little ground squirrels' burrows and causes damage, even the gentlest little ground squirrels will become agitated and angry."

"Meow~" Xian Jiu circled around Gu Ling's feet twice, her eyes filled with concern.

"I'm fine." Gu Ling squatted down, hugged Xian Jiu in her arms, and patted Xian Jiu's little head.

Just then, the mischievous ghost who had brought up the rear floated over. Seeing Gu Ling's disheveled appearance, with her clothes covered in mud, it tilted its head in confusion and chuckled, "Hehehe~".

"You little rascal, throw a few small cakes down here, and then we'll get out of here quickly. This area is probably a habitat for little ground squirrels." Gu Ling pointed to the pit they had just fallen into.

The mischievous boy pulled several small cakes out of his belly and, as instructed by Gu Ling, threw them down.

The little ground squirrels below initially thought it was some kind of dangerous object, but when they smelled the aroma coming from the small cake, they couldn't help but gather around it.

"Sorry for collapsing your tunnel. Consider these small cakes as an apology." Gu Ling shouted into the pit and then immediately left.

If she didn't leave soon, Gu Ling was worried that the little groundhogs would rush out and continue attacking her.

The school curriculum mentions that if you accidentally encounter a small ground squirrel in the wild, it means there are hundreds of small ground squirrels in the vicinity.

A single ground squirrel is not difficult to deal with, but when hundreds of ground squirrels swarm together, the ground shakes and even a warrior-level pet beast has to take a detour.

Gu Ling ran a long distance and sent the mischievous ghost to patrol the area. Only after confirming that there were no wild pets did she feel relieved enough to catch her breath.

This time, Gu Ling made sure the ground was solid before sitting down to rest.

After running around for most of the day, Gu Ling checked the time on her phone and realized that it was already past 6 p.m.

Today is the first day. Gu Ling is not familiar with the conditions in the wild and does not dare to continue traveling at night, so she asked the mischievous ghost to find a suitable place to pitch a tent nearby.

That's right.

The mischievous boy's belly contained a complete set of wilderness survival gear.

Gu Ling had previously thought that since the mischievous ghost had an alternate dimension, and she would eventually go to the wilderness, it wouldn't hurt to buy some equipment in advance and give it to the mischievous ghost for safekeeping.

However, Gu Ling didn't expect to be able to use it now.

"Hehe~" The mischievous little devil pulled a lot of things out of his belly.

Then, the person and the two pets worked together to set up the tent and start a fire.

After dinner, it was completely dark. Before Gu Ling went into the tent, she instructed Mischievous Ghost, "Mischievous Ghost, you'll be on watch tonight. If anything happens, wake me and Xian Jiu."

The Mischievous Ghost is a Ghost-type pet, so it doesn't need to sleep and is perfect for keeping watch at night.

"Hehe~" The mischievous boy nodded with a grin and patted his belly with his chubby little hand.

After a long day of exhaustion, Gu Ling was so tired that she collapsed into bed and fell asleep immediately.

Fortunately, nothing happened on the first night. Gu Ling slept soundly until dawn. After being woken up by her phone alarm, she had a simple breakfast and continued her journey.

……

"Instant teleportation!"

"Instant teleportation!"

"instant……"

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Holding a graffiti-like map, Gu Ling wandered around the forest, but with only a vague sense of direction, she took many detours and accidentally wandered into the territories of countless pet beast clans, being chased by various pet beasts along the way.

During the lunch break, Gu Ling slumped to the ground, staring at the map in front of her with a frustrated look: "This...this lousy map! Who even drew this?"

Being chased and beaten up by wild pet animals is one thing.

However, if one is not careful, one will deviate from the map route, which means that Gu Ling has not traveled much in the past three days.

"Wandering around like this isn't a solution," Gu Ling thought to herself. "If we can't find our way, we should ask someone for directions."

"There's no one here, but there are pets."

Gu Ling's eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly waved to Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost to come over: "I've always been by your side before. Wild pets generally become more wary when they see humans."

"Xian Jiu, you're so cute, why don't you go ask a pet for directions?"

Xian Jiu put her hands on her hips and said, "Meow~" while hugging me.

"You little rascal, stay with me."

"Hehe~" The mischievous boy nodded.

After confirming the mission, Xian Jiu was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and turned back, stretching out her little paw at the mischievous ghost: "Meow~" Ghost, give me some small cakes and candies. (End of Chapter)
