Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

Once outside the city limits, the network provided by the terminal beast becomes unavailable, and the phone automatically switches to offline mode.

Zhu Ran is unable to send messages to anyone; she can only view files, audio, and video that were downloaded before going offline.

Even DouDing, after entering the secret realm, was disturbed by the mysterious magnetic field, often dying and having to restart repeatedly, making it a big problem to shoot footage anytime, anywhere.

"nailed it!"

The phone showed the time as 2:00 AM on February 1st.

After drinking a bottle of mental tonic, Liang Baizhou's pale complexion returned to a rosy hue.

At this moment, the Fire Lion Elephant disappeared from sight, and the heavy panting of the savage beasts ceased to be heard around.

Between Liang Baizhou's fingers, the white sealing card was tinged with red, resembling a blazing flame.

"Master Elephant, sleep for a few days. When you wake up, I'll prepare a feast for you!"

If Liang Baizhou doesn't address it as "Master" if it falls into his hands, then something must be wrong.

Zhu Ran shook his head. The most urgent thing now was to find a place to pitch a tent and make do for the night.

If you don't get enough rest, your physical function will deteriorate as time goes on, greatly increasing your chances of getting into danger and making you an easy target for prey in the secret realm.

Zhu Ran glanced at Qin Taozhi.

This S-rank blessed woman took a nap while Grandpa Liang was casting the seal.

Did she anticipate that nighttime would be the most dangerous and dangerous time for us new recruits, the time when we needed to be most vigilant?

"Do it your way, don't worry about me."

Noticing Zhu Ran's speculative gaze, Qin Taozhi's lips curved into a subtle smile.

Through these few hours of observation, Zhu Ran and Liang Baizhou have already established basic profiles in her mind.

Liang Baizhou, a piece of trash.

If one had to add a supplementary term, Qin Tao would call her a "useless tool".

His purpose is to liven up the atmosphere and add a touch of humanity to the team.

If you really leave him alone, believe it or not, he'll use that Taiping Stone pendant in less than half a day.

As for Zhu Ran...

My impression of Qin Taozhi was neither good nor bad.

From the perspective of a non-combat pet trainer, his performance was commendable.

But it's not necessary to say that it's exceptionally outstanding.

Meaningless soft-heartedness led to the team being given a fire lion-elephant with a huge appetite... Don't you know that it's better to have too many high-quality pets?

Moreover, he is a patient.

The mental wound has been torn apart, leaving my combat power low for at least a week. The secret realm training has only just begun, so what's the point of finding a class to take? All this time and energy wasted, and I can't even find a mere 350,000 worth of substitutes.

Zhu Ran, on the other hand, vaguely sensed the scrutinizing look in Qin Tao's eyes.

Whatever.

No matter how outstanding Qin Tao is, it has nothing to do with him.

If you don't get along well with others.

I'll just be a tool then.

Although this tool might only be activated at the most critical moment.

But aren't they still just tools?

"Shizuka, Nobita, let them lead the way."

While Liang Baizhou was sealing away, Zhu Ran was not idle either.

There are still three Firemoss Rat corpses left.

He disemboweled himself, deliberately creating a bloody smell, which unexpectedly attracted another type of rat-like pet—the Flaming Moss Rat.

The Fire Moss Rat and the Flame Moss Rat are closely related.

However, the former has a stronger bloodline, ranking as a mature C-level being. It is better at breathing fire and digging holes, and its body is also larger, making it look short, chubby, and strong.

At this moment, one of the two moss rats was lying in front of Shizuka, and the other was lying in front of Nobita. Their eyes were rolling around, and the heart-shaped marks in their eyes were bright pink.

Clearly, "Sweetheart Charm" is in effect.

Upon hearing Zhu Ran's command, Jingxiang raised her chin, patted the Yantai Rat's forehead with her little tiger paw, and let out a cute little bleat.

Da Xiong followed suit.

So the two moss rats happily ran to the right front.

"You've torn this perfectly good rat couple apart, each falling for a cute little tiger cub?"

After understanding the situation, Liang Baizhou became very interested and couldn't help but comment.

Zhu Ran smiled without saying a word.

What happened to the rat couple?

If someone has poor mental resilience, they'll steal all of our adorable little tigers away.

Not convinced? Then call me big brother. In this land shrouded in black fire, are there any "Yi Moss Rat" or "Shen Moss Rat"?

"Squeak squeak squeak".

After walking for more than 600 meters, there is a recessed hole between two stone pillars.

The recess is three meters wide and two meters deep. It is not vertical, but slopes downwards, and is just big enough for three people to rest.

Zhu Ran let out a soft "Eh".

There's no black fire here?

Along the way, the black flames, sometimes dense and sometimes sparse, never escaped our sight.

Only around this crater did the black flames wither and the temperature drop, so even without getting close to the Ice Spirit Armor, Liang Baizhou wouldn't be covered in sweat.

"The Moss Rat is attracted to fire; how could it possibly live here?"

With this question in mind, Zhu Ran jumped into the hollow and began to explore it inch by inch.

The spiritual eye gave a hint: in a handful of sand, there was an object the size of a fist, which continuously emitted a blackish-red luster, and was suspected to be some kind of energy aggregate.

Zhu Ran was surprised when he unearthed it.

It turned out to be a piece of metal.

Several broken flame patterns remained on it, firmly attracted by the black and red spiritual light.

It turns out that there was no black flame near the crater, but rather that the black flame was completely contained within the fragments, changing from being scattered and drifting to being gathered and compressed.

Upon closer inspection of the panel, there was no activity whatsoever.

Zhu Ran was certain that this was a part of the weapon that had been lost after the beast had fallen.

Moreover, this weapon/beast is based on the fire element, so its rank cannot be too low.

Otherwise, such a small fragment could not possibly possess such miraculous power.

"Master Liang, with this item, you can move freely within this fiery domain."

Zhu Ran possessed the Ice Armor, and Qin Tao possessed the Azure Lotus Demon, so he directly threw the fragment to Liang Baizhou.

In this way, Liang Baizhou could even summon the steel giraffe without having to be restrained or timid.

Thanks.

Liang Baizhou took a light breath and solemnly accepted it.

Now is not the time to refuse.

The only way to repay what I owe Master Zhu is to work hard in the future and make a name for myself in helping Super Burning Life achieve something.

"I'll make do here for the night and look for a way out tomorrow."

Zhu Ran got a tent and sleeping bag from Hercules Frog.

Because the products I bought were all high-end, the materials themselves had the functions of heat insulation, warmth retention, insect prevention, and moisture protection, so even if I turned off the ice armor, I could still sleep comfortably.

Liang Baizhou slept next to him, half a meter away.

The guardians are an electric turtle, a husky pig, and a steel giraffe.

Of course, there's also the Yantai Rat couple, who've become hopelessly in love.

And the Doraemon team.

Because they were so active today, they took turns resting to ensure they maintained their charm throughout the day.

As for Qin Taozhi.

She certainly couldn't possibly sleep with two stinky men.

The lotus leaves of the Azure Lotus Fairy are the best bed—soft, cool, and automatically fold up in the event of a sudden attack, providing passive defense.

However, Qin Taozhi couldn't let the two newcomers spend six or seven hours in this situation.

She took out another sealed card.

The pet that answered the call to report is named "Shadow Seed," a mature B-rank rare beast.

Its body resembles a bunch of grapes hanging from a vine, with plump purple berries suspended on the vine, each of which can detach and move freely.

Qin Tao tossed it casually.

More than fifty purple balls rolled in all directions and disappeared into the crevices of the rubble.

In this way, whenever a living creature approaches, the sticky seed will attach to the target and simultaneously transmit a sensing signal. Upon receiving the signal, the host will immediately issue an alarm.
