Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 58 Suspected Pet Poacher (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

wrong!

The moment the thought crossed Gu Ling's mind, she immediately dismissed it.

Although this ancient book on taming beasts is not very reliable, and she has to figure out all the rules and usage herself, the pet data it provides is always very accurate.

"If it's not a mistake in the Ancient Book of Beast Taming..." Gu Ling's pupils contracted slightly.

That's a real dragon-type pet egg!

Moreover, it's a dragon-type pet with the King-level aptitude, which is even better than the High-level aptitude. This pet egg is worth at least tens of millions of Dragon Xuan Coins.

Those two men were carrying more than a dozen pet eggs. Could they all be dragon-type pet eggs?!

Gu Ling suddenly understood why the bald man had been so nervous.

When you're out and about, carrying around a dragon-type pet egg worth tens of millions of dollars would make anyone nervous, right? Let alone a dozen or so!

Thinking of this, Gu Ling subconsciously turned her head to look for the two men.

At this moment, the two were standing not far away, waiting for the bus like other passengers. All the pet eggs were put into their luggage bags, and Gu Ling could no longer see the colors of the pet eggs' patterns.

Gu Ling was certain that her memory was not mistaken; what she had just seen was indeed a pet egg with green markings.

"Did the pet egg mutate? Or did it spoil?" Gu Ling wondered.

Using the color of the eggshell to identify a pet's attributes is not 100% accurate. Some pets may have undergone some kind of mutation, resulting in attributes after hatching that do not match the eggshell color.

Take Xianjiu for example. It has a super-power type, but no abnormalities were detected before it hatched. Only after hatching was it identified as an electric-type pet with a missing electric-type talent at the pet hatching base.

"Something feels off..." Gu Ling frowned and pondered.

At that moment, a whistle sounded, and the high-speed train slowly pulled into the station. Several doors opened at the same time, and the waiting passengers carried their luggage into the train.

Seeing this, Gu Ling temporarily put the matter of the pet egg out of her mind, went into the car with the other passengers to find seats, put away her luggage, sat in the aisle seat, and placed the pet cage on the seat next to her.

The night before last, Gu Ling booked two seats so that she wouldn't have to hold Xian Jiu in her arms the whole time during the five or six-hour journey, making things a little easier.

Gu Ling unzipped the pet compartment and took Xian Jiu out: "Xian Jiu, come out for some fresh air, but remember not to run around."

"Meow~" Xian Jiu gripped the tablet, her cat-like eyes fixed on the screen, afraid of missing any plot point of the TV series.

Gu Ling checked the water bottle in the pet storage room; Xian Jiu had almost drunk all the water inside.

"According to online travel guides, there seems to be a water dispenser on the bus..."

Gu Ling stood up from her seat, carrying the water bottle, and casually glanced around—

"Hmm? This person..."

On the opposite seat, a man was sleeping on a small table. He was wearing a white cotton hoodie and black trousers, giving the impression that he was completely covered up. Because the man was wearing the hoodie's hood, Gu Ling couldn't see his face clearly. She could only judge that he was a man by his figure and clothing.

Gu Ling muttered to herself, "Wearing a hoodie in October? Aren't people hot...?"

Although Hailan City in October is no longer as hot as it was in August, and the weather is gradually cooling down, it's not yet time to go out wearing thick cotton sweatshirts.

Even though Gu Ling had considered that she was going on a long trip, she only wore a thin jacket over a short-sleeved shirt underneath.

After stopping for a few minutes, the high-speed train started moving again, and the scenery outside the window rushed past.

Gu Ling filled the kettle with water and returned to her seat. She scrolled through short videos on her phone for a while, but found them uninteresting, so she took out the notes that Teacher Zhou Mengran had given her.

Two weeks ago, Zhou Mengran compiled her study notes from earlier years into a booklet, made 35 copies, and distributed them to all the students in the elite class.

Gu Ling turned to the page with the bookmark and continued reading the notes—

Pet poachers steal pet eggs illegally in the wild. To avoid detection, they often use special camouflage liquid to cover the egg patterns, thus evading capture...

and many more!

Why does this feel so familiar...? Hmm!

To deceive others? To disguise the patterns on a pet egg?

Gudong~

Gu Ling's heart raced for a moment, and an unbelievable thought arose in her mind.

Immediately, Gu Ling recalled the news she had heard in the waiting hall not long ago, and immediately used her phone to search online for the protected areas that had recently been targeted by pet poachers.

"I've got it! There is indeed a protected area called Dragon Peak Cave, which is home to many dragon-type pets. And coincidentally, a dragon-type pet egg was recently stolen..."

If Gu Ling originally thought there was only a 30-40% chance of it being a coincidence, now there's a 60-70% chance!

Although it was somewhat inappropriate, Gu Ling couldn't help but think of the 50 yuan reward mentioned in the news...

wipe!

Is this an unexpected windfall of wealth?

"Calm down! Calm down!"

Gu Ling's rationality quickly returned, and she began to analyze the situation in her mind:

"Dragon Peak Cave Nature Reserve is one of the top-tier dragon-type pet protection areas in the Dragon Profound Kingdom, with a very high security level. The fact that these two pet poachers dared to trespass into this place, and even successfully steal pet eggs and escape... they must be quite powerful!"

"And I'm just a novice beast tamer. In terms of pet level and strength, I definitely can't beat them."

"We absolutely cannot act rashly!" Gu Ling clenched her fists instinctively.

Moreover, there are hundreds of passengers on this high-speed train. If these two are indeed pet poachers wanted by the Longfeng Cave Nature Reserve, once they discover something amiss, all the passengers on the train will become hostages! Their lives will be in danger!

Even worse... this is a high-speed train!

If these two were to unleash a few skills from their pets, the entire carload of people could very well be destroyed and killed!

"What should I do... pretend I know nothing? Just let them take the pet egg?"

Damn! That's a 50 yuan bounty!

Gu Ling turned her head and glanced at Xian Jiu, who was watching the drama and grinning foolishly, and immediately sighed.

"How about we forget it? With Xian Jiu's current strength, there's no way he can beat two powerful pet poachers. Let's just provide clues to the Dragon Peak Cave Nature Reserve. We'll still get some bounty, even if it's only ten thousand yuan..."

Damn it! That 50 is a lot of money!

Gu Ling couldn't help but let her imagination run wild...

With this 50 yuan, she can finally get her second pet.

Alternatively, the 50 could be used to buy various pet resources for Xianjiu, allowing Xianjiu's strength to be significantly improved in a short period of time.

"Should we call the police first? Or notify the security personnel in the car first? Yes! Notify the security personnel first..."

With her mind in complete disarray, Gu Ling finally came up with a feasible solution and immediately got up to find the security personnel in the car.

Just as Gu Ling was about to step out of the carriage, she stopped abruptly, her pupils dilating as if she had seen a ghost—

It was in the next carriage.

One of the men, suspected to be a pet poacher with scorpion-tailed hair, was leaning against a corner, whispering something to a security guard in a car.

Although they appeared to be exchanging words, their gazes were constantly and subtly taking in their surroundings.

I revised the text a bit beforehand, so the update is late QAQ
