Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 115 The Evolutionary Path of the Cat-like Insect and the Punishment of the Nocturnal Bird! Qiao Bai: After all, I'm not a devil.

Nocturnal birds: withered

The nocturnal birds have fallen silent.

Shivering.

At the same time, he didn't forget to use his large wings to protect the two pet eggs and the cat bug beneath him.

run away?

The nocturnal bird glanced at the pet egg beneath it, then at the tombstone in front of it.

Running away is impossible.

"This..." Luo Yiming was stunned when he saw this scene.

The unexpected situation actually happened right before his eyes.

There really are extraordinary beings who would risk their lives to protect their unborn offspring, which are not even their own.

Luo Yiming knew that Qiao Bai wouldn't harm the Weaver Bird, but the Weaver Bird, who didn't recognize Qiao Bai and sensed danger from the other pets, was unaware of this!

"I think we can communicate properly now, right?" Qiao Bai did not stop Xiao Wu's actions. The best way to get extraordinary creatures to cooperate was to intimidate them with his strength first.

As he spoke, Qiao Bai reached out to the little bird in the air and picked it up and held it in his arms.

The little crow that was displaying its might just a second ago.

The next second, she nestled obediently in Qiao Bai's arms like a chick whose wings had been caught, even her eyes were very docile.

Xiaowu:（￣へ￣）

Fine.

Who told you to be the bird tamer?

The bird will cherish you.

Let's not take action against that guy for now!

Nocturnal bird: "..."

angry.

But they dared not show it.

The little bird's suppression of it wasn't based on strength or level, but on its innate bloodline. If it weren't for the guardian beast tamer's mentality and the desire to protect the child, which forcibly overcame its instinct to escape, the nocturnal bird wouldn't have been able to stay in this place for even a second!

The bird will fly as far as it can!

Qiao Bai: "Can you tell me why you stole the pet beast egg?"

The nocturnal bird, upon hearing this, had no intention of answering or even looking at Qiao Bai.

But... Little Crow's piercing gaze fell on its feathers, as if it were a silent threat: Not going to talk? Then I'll burn all your feathers!

The nocturnal bird, unwilling and reluctant, like a young maiden forced into silence, finally spoke.

"Li-jiji!" Of course, because they are all my children!

Qiao Bai: "..."

After going around in circles, Qiao Bai felt like he had come full circle again.

No... So even if you have the ability to communicate with your pet, it's still this difficult to communicate with them properly?

Qiao Bai sighed.

"Senior Yu Yan," Qiao Bai turned to Yu Yan, "Could you please come over here for a moment?"

He can't do it alone; he has to appeal to the emotions of the nocturnal birds.

Qiao Bai decisively pulled Yu Yan along.

Nocturnal bird: "!"

Upon hearing Yu Yan's name, the nocturnal bird's pupils dilated, as if it didn't want to, and dared not, face her.

At the same time, she secretly and angrily glared at Qiao Bai.

Nocturnal birds: Despicable humans!

Specifically target its weaknesses!

Qiao Bai, who was glared at, wasn't angry: "You stole my partner first."

Qiao Bai pointed to the pet egg and cat-like insect in the nocturnal bird's arms.

The nocturnal bird stubbornly looked up and met Qiao Bai's gaze.

What do you mean by stealing?

This is its partner!

Qiao Bai smiled.

Upon hearing Qiao Bai's words, Yu Yan immediately ran over.

Yu Yan wanted to rush over as soon as she saw Qiao Bai, Xiao Wu, and the night-walking bird clashing, but Luo Yiming stopped her, telling her to trust Qiao Bai and not to disturb him at this time.

This is not.

As soon as Qiao Bai spoke, Yu Yan rushed over without hesitation.

"Professor Qiao, weave the bird..." There was no malice intended.

Yu Yan wanted to explain, but felt that words were too weak. Her lips moved a few times, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"It firmly believes that the pet eggs it stole are all its offspring. Could you help me communicate with it?" Qiao Bai smiled, not taking it to heart: "Solving the problem is more important."

"I'll explain it to you from the side."

Hearing Qiao Bai's gentle voice, Yu Yan felt her tense heart relax a little.

It seems Qiao Bai isn't angry, that's good.

Yu Yan agreed to Qiao Bai's request without hesitation.

"Weaver Bird, I know you still remember me, right?" Without Qiao Bai's prompting, Yu Yan turned her head and began to play the emotional card with the night-walking bird: "What has happened in the past two and a half years... I feel like you have changed a lot."

"If you could, could you tell me about it?"

Yu Yan, who had always maintained a lukewarm demeanor at Honghu University, seemed to completely change her attitude when facing nocturnal birds, displaying a warm and familiar demeanor.

"Senior...Senior must also want to know, right?" Yu Yan looked at the tombstone in front of the Night-Walking Bird and took a few more steps closer to it.

Unlike Qiao Bai's rejection when he approached, the night-walking bird only stared intently at Yu Yan as she was about to reach her. It seemed very repulsive, but in reality, it didn't even move its wings.

at last.

Yu Yan stopped less than half a meter away from the night-walking bird. She squatted down gently and shifted her gaze from the bird to the tombstone in front of her.

In a color photo without a hat, a woman with long hair and bangs has a smile on her face with her eyes crinkling, and one hand is placed next to her cheek, making a cute kissing gesture.

A farewell kiss! I'm off now!

"I remember this photo. I took this photo of my senior." Yu Yan looked at the photo on the tombstone and smiled softly.

Yu Yan's eyes were slightly red, but no tears fell.

"I remember you loved to compete for attention with the water dragonfly, and every time you fought, you would inexplicably start fighting, and then that guy, Flame Dragon, would take advantage of the situation."

The nocturnal bird relaxed its tense body, and its wary eyes gradually became more alert. Looking at the tombstone in front of it, it called out softly.

"ji...jijili..." Beastmaster...Flame Dragon...Flame Dragon, Flame Dragon...child...

Qiao Bai, standing to the side, was speechless.

How did we end up talking about children again?

Qiao Bai vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Qiao Bai.

"Is the weaverbird male or female? Has it had offspring in the past?"

As soon as Qiao Bai spoke.

Not only was Yu Yan stunned, but the other people standing behind her, who seemed to be just background figures, were also stunned.

hey hey?

They hadn't really thought of that before!

Looking at this big bird's persistent attitude towards its pet egg, doesn't it resemble a human's... stress-induced trauma response?

The description isn't quite accurate, but it does seem somewhat similar!

Luo Yiming, Qi Yuelin, Weiwei, and Li Gan all felt that they understood.

"I know! The Weaver Bird must have been pregnant at the time, and then through a series of coincidences, the baby was lost... The pain of losing both her Beastmaster and her baby was too much for the Weaver Bird to bear, and that's why..."

As they talked, Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei both looked at the nocturnal birds, their eyes filled with sadness and sorrow.

awful.

The nocturnal birds are truly pitiful.

They lost both their child and their beast tamer.

Maybe the child's father is among them!

Yu Yan: "...Isn't something wrong?"

Yu Yan said in an uncertain tone.

Pregnant?

child?

Stress trauma?

"But if I remember correctly... the Weaver Bird should be male, right?" Yu Yan said hesitantly and uncertainly. She silently turned her head to look at the Night Wanderer. If the Night Wanderer hadn't looked so uncooperative, Yu Yan would have taken matters into her own hands.

It's okay if your memory is unreliable; just confirm it on the spot.

Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan: "???"

male?

real or fake?

The three people looked at the nocturnal bird with eyes full of shock and disbelief.

Regardless of whether the weaver bird has ever lost its chicks, just look at how much it cares for and protects its chicks now... it's truly overflowing with maternal love!

So male superhuman creatures actually have maternal love?

"Um... The female-to-male ratio of the Weaver Bird is indeed unbalanced at 2:8, with at least eight out of ten Weaver Birds being male." Luo Yiming also cooperated by explaining to Qi Yuelin and Weiwei: "However, the genes of male Weaver Birds are quite special. When they mate with other extraordinary creatures, the resulting pet eggs are very likely to be Weaver Birds."

Therefore, weaverbirds do not have problems with reproduction.

"Speaking of which, weaverbirds do not have the instinct to protect their young, but male weaverbirds are rare, extraordinary creatures that take care of both their young and mates." Remembering something, Luo Yiming stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Is this why evolved weaverbirds appear so maternal?"

"So Yanlong was pregnant at that time," Qiao Bai said with certainty.

Others: "?"

Nocturnal bird: "..."

The nocturnal bird chose to burrow into its wing, staring at its several soon-to-be-born chicks.

What?

There are other people around, is this place unsafe?

Nocturnal bird: Whatever, it won't be stressed anyway.

"No...no..." Yu Yan felt like her tongue was about to tie itself in knots: "How did you know?"

Were the weaver bird and the water dragonfly originally a pair?

She didn't notice at all!

Yu Yan felt dazed and confused, and the scenes of weaverbirds and water dragonflies fighting over a man she remembered seemed strange.

Was the Weaver Bird really just playing around with the Water Dragonfly, allowing the Flame Dragon to overtake it and successfully monopolize the Beastmaster's kisses, hugs, and affections?

No!

Following this logic... the Weaver Bird did it on purpose, to give the Flame Dragon a chance to get close to the Beastmaster, right?

Yu Yan: "..."

She's really seen something new today.

I've learned something new.

"...I didn't expect you to be such a cunning bird so early on!" Yu Yan looked at the nocturnal bird with a shocked expression.

The nocturnal birds didn't even raise their heads.

"No... Flame Dragon and Night-Walking Bird... their sizes don't seem quite right, do they?" Lin Weiwei looked puzzled as she searched for pictures of Flame Dragon on her phone.

Flame Dragon, a dragon with fire attributes, is entirely red. Unlike either Eastern or Western dragons, it looks more like a dinosaur, with a row of fiery red barbs running from its back to the tip of its long tail.

How did these two seemingly disparate extraordinary beings come together and eventually have a child?

And... does no one find it strange that a dragon lays a bird's egg?

The nocturnal bird continued to play dead.

say?

What did you say?

It's incubating its eggs.

Yu Yan rubbed her forehead, as if she had been hit by the belated truth, but she quickly came to her senses.

Although the Weaver Bird is not female, it still means that it has lost its beast tamer, lover, and children at the same time.

Even worse.

The Weaver Bird's lover is the Flame Dragon, who is also Su Que's most powerful pet.

At that time, the weak Weaver Bird was powerless to protect its Beastmaster, let alone its powerful lover. Instead, it was protected by its lover and ended up being the only one to survive... Yu Yan let out a long breath.

"Weaving Bird..." Yu Yan reached out towards the nocturnal bird, as if she wanted to touch its feathers and soothe it.

But halfway through reaching out, Yu Yan remembered something else... Oh, the nocturnal birds are still quite wary of them.

Just as Yu Yan was about to pull her hand back, the night-walking bird, which had been hiding its head and pretending not to hear anything, suddenly raised its head and gently rubbed its head against the palm of Yu Yan's hand. Before Yu Yan could react, the night-walking bird withdrew its head again.

Nocturnal birds: Nothing happened.jpg

Yu Yan smiled.

"Don't forget we still have important business to attend to." Just then, Qiao Bai's calm voice rang out.

To the lingering smoke and the nocturnal birds, it was like a thunderclap.

oh oh!

That's right!

Yu Yan frowned slightly: "Weaver Bird, I know you're heartbroken over losing your child, but... you can't take someone else's child! Besides, these pet eggs and pets already have beast tamers!"

The nocturnal bird glanced at Yu Yan, then silently turned its head back.

Nocturnal bird: I didn't hear it, I don't understand it, but if I say it's my child, then it's my child!

The beast tamer won't blame me!

I don't know if it was because I was scared by Xiao Wu, or because of the appearance of Yu Yan, an old acquaintance. At first, I was as wary as a nocturnal bird with a feather duster, but then I became a little childish.

Although she didn't understand what the night-walking birds were saying, Yu Yan couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her mouth, and then she forcibly pressed the corners of her mouth down.

"Weaving Bird".

Do you think your senior would be happy if she knew what you did?

Yu Yan stared intently at the nocturnal bird, as if questioning it on behalf of the now-gone Su Que.

The nocturnal bird trembled as it tried to turn its head away.

This time, Yu Yan no longer held back.

She took a sudden step forward, forcibly shortening the already short distance between them. Yu Yan cupped the night-walking bird's fluffy face in her hands, and the night-walking bird looked back at her.

This move startled not only the nocturnal birds, but even Luo Yiming and his group.

Good guy!

This bird is truly unafraid of nocturnal birds suddenly going berserk!

On the contrary, Qiao Bai... well, he's alright. I was a little surprised, but playing the emotional card was indeed quick and effective.

At least when Qiao Bai used his innate skill to look at the Night Wanderer, the Night Wanderer's inner thoughts were already so chaotic and tangled that they were almost a complete mess.

Try to feel the emotions of the cat-like insect again...

She slept soundly.

Delicious.

External noise and disturbances?

I didn't hear it.

The [Raising Offspring] talent skill is so powerful, striving to provide the best incubation environment for all pet eggs.

A nocturnal bird that has been caught.

Not moving at all.

She opened her mouth, as if wanting to scold, "ji..." The human quickly let her go...

The nocturnal bird knew that Qiao Bai could understand its language.

But Qiao Bai wasn't buying it at all.

Threaten him?

Where do nocturnal birds get their courage?

"It refuses to admit its mistakes, remains unrepentant, and even says that you have no relation to it, so why should it listen to you?" Qiao Bai calmly said these words that were meant to kill... no, I mean, to pierce the heart of the shark bird.

Nocturnal bird: "?"

Nocturnal bird: "!"

The nocturnal bird suddenly opened its eyes wide and twisted its head violently, as if it wanted to give Qiao Bai a murderous look.

pity.

Yu Yan held its head tightly with both hands, giving the nocturnal bird no chance to break free.

"Ha." Yu Yan sneered, "Meddling in other people's business?"

Nocturnal bird: "..."

Afraid.

A little bit.

Just a tiny bit.

"Come on, look at your senior, tell me you didn't do anything wrong." Yu Yan coldly and decisively turned the nocturnal bird's face towards Su Que's photo on the tombstone: "Speak up, and I'll leave you alone once you tell me."

"It would be good to beat you to death."

"You're sad and upset that Senior Sister is gone and Yanlong is gone, right?" Yu Yan sneered, and Night Wanderer felt her heart skip a beat. "Come on, as long as you call out that you're right, I'll personally send you down to see them right now."

"Perfect timing. You can also explain to Senior Sister and Yanlong why you went down to keep them company now."

Nocturnal birds: QAQ

None of my family members can understand this.

It desperately wants to admit its mistake, but it's too afraid to even open its mouth!

It was afraid that if it opened its mouth, the only human nearby who could understand what it was saying and translate it would deliberately distort its meaning again!

Qiao Bai seemed to understand what it was thinking, so he looked at it and smiled slightly.

Nocturnal bird: "..."

That's when your temper flares up instantly!

Thinking I shouldn't be polite... but before I knew it, my eyes met those of the little black dog in Qiao Bai's arms.

Night-walking bird: ...I'd better just stay and look at the Beastmaster's tombstone.

The warmth of the tombstone couldn't compare to the chill in his heart.

"You actually have the mind to daydream?" Yu Yan noticed the Night Wanderer's shifty eyes, and her tone suddenly rose and became sharp. The Night Wanderer shuddered and hugged the pet egg in its arms tightly, opening its mouth to explain.

"grumble?"

Just then.

The three... no, two of the pet eggs in its arms remained motionless, and the cat-like insect let out a long cry.

Qiao Bai looked down into the arms of the night-walking bird, and Little Crow also perked up.

Has the bird's little brother woken up?

Then, the cat-like insect hopped out of the nocturnal bird's embrace, shaking its head and waddling along.

"Chirp—woof—" The cat-like bug stepped on the wings of the nocturnal bird and climbed onto its head. If no one had been holding it up, it would have been a classic scene from "The Lion King Simba".

Qiao Bai: "..."

"You slept well." Qiao Bai looked at the cat-like insect and asked in a casual tone.

Just moments ago, Cat Bug was excitedly puffing out its chest and howling at the sky, but as soon as it turned its head, it met the cool gazes of Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu, and the overly excited Cat Bug instantly calmed down.

Perhaps...it seems...it didn't notify the beast tamer when it voluntarily left with the nocturnal bird?

Catbug: ∑(O_O；)

Is it too late to apologize to the beast tamer now?

The cat-like insect "whooshed" off the head of the nocturnal bird, moving its seven...hmm?

Qiao Bai noticed that Xiao Wu's running wasn't as dazzling as before. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the cat-like insect's legs had finally become a normal even number.

Six legs?

Shouldn't it have an extra leg?

Upon closer inspection... oh, there was no tail behind its butt originally, but now there's a small, round, short, tail-like protrusion.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Catbug trotted over to Qiao Bai's side, looked up at him pitifully with its big, messy, line-drawn eyes.

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp!"

"Chirp chirp!"

The dragon knows it was wrong, Beast Tamer!

Don't blame the dragon!

The dragon has gone to become stronger!

Look!

As it spoke, the cat-like insect couldn't help but proudly raise its head again.

Yes.

After walking with the nocturnal birds, the appearance of the cat-like insect did change slightly, not much, but it was quite subtle at first glance.

For example, the limbs become more harmonious.

It has six legs, and the tail that was originally missing has been restored. The scales on its body have become harder, and they have a matte velvet-like color in the sunlight. Most notably, the two small horns on its head, which would puzzle ordinary people if they saw them, have become more prominent.

The dragon horns have grown from about ten centimeters in length to more than twenty centimeters in length, and the details that belong to the dragon horns have become more obvious, making them more recognizable to more people at first glance.

The cat-like insect has also become a little slimmer.

It wasn't something you could tell just by looking at it.

It was when Qiao Bai bent down to pick up the cat-like insect that he sensed the change in texture.

Finally...

【Pet: Cat Bug*】(*Form is fixed)

[Attributes: Fairy + Dark + Poison]

【Type: Intermediate/Superior Intermediate*】(*Upgradeable)

[Level: Intermediate Fourth Tier]

[Skills: Mind Control, Shadow Stealth... Blade of Destruction]

[Bloodline: A special extraordinary creature naturally born from the combination of various consciousnesses and energies within the forbidden land. Its survival rate is extremely low. It has now been successfully conceived and hatched, but its attributes are insufficient, and its bloodline has not yet awakened.]

[Talent Skill: Reversal]

[Reversal (Upgradeable): Skills learned normally will be reversed when used on the Cat Bug]

Evolutionary Paths: Multiple choices are available based on attributes; the path is not fixed (the more attributes, the more evolutionary paths to choose from).

Current options: Dark Phantom (Poison + Dark), Ender Dragon (Fairy + Dark + Poison)

[Beastmaster, don't be angry! Isn't the little dragon super pretty?]

The cat-like insect blinked its innocent-looking big eyes.

What I'm really thinking is: If I admit my mistake, I'll do it again next time!

Helpless, Qiao Bai reached out and gently tapped the dragon horn of the cat-like insect with his finger.

The next second, the cat-like insect started making whimpering noises.

"Chirp chirp!"

The beast tamer is wicked!

Don't touch the corners!

This is a symbol of Xiao Meilong's identity!

The symbol of the dragon!

Domineering and majestic!

Qiao Bai: "..."

A symbol of identity?

The symbol of the dragon?

Qiao Bai almost rolled his eyes.

Look, look.

Of the two existing evolutionary paths, which one is related to dragons?

No.

does not exist.

The Ender Dragon... it sounds like some kind of awesome dragon-type extraordinary creature, but in reality, none of its three attributes are related to the dragon attribute.

"What if it doesn't evolve into a dragon?" Qiao Bai asked softly.

Catbug: Σ(゜ロ゜;)

Why would a beast tamer say such vicious things?

Just because I didn't report it, did you run off with other extraordinary beings?

QwO

Give the dragon another chance to explain!

Don't just issue a verdict against Long right away!

The cat-like insect almost burst into tears!

Qiao Bai helplessly reached out, avoiding the two dragon horns that the cat-like insect cherished, and ruffled its head: "Let's talk about evolution when we get back."

The hatching of the cat-like insects is great news.

The strength of the cat-like insect has been improved to a certain extent, and the complex situation has become detectable... but there are still some problems.

This place is not suitable for research.

We still need to solve the problem of nocturnal birds first.

Qiao Bai didn't explain to the cat bug. After rubbing it a few more times, the cat bug was completely overwhelmed by Qiao Bai's superb rubbing skills and fell into Qiao Bai's arms in a daze, not remembering what Qiao Bai had said just now.

"By the way, where were we?" Qiao Bai asked Yu Yan with a relaxed demeanor, holding a cat-like insect in one hand and a small bird in the other.

Yu Yan looked completely bewildered.

Just now... her emotions were suddenly interrupted, and Yu Yan's mind went blank.

Although she was still holding the night-walking bird's face, she wasn't holding it as tightly as before.

It was just that the nocturnal birds were afraid of upsetting Yu Yan, which is why they didn't move their heads.

"I said..." Yu Yan blinked, struggling to recall.

The nocturnal birds were terrified when they saw this.

We absolutely must not let Yu Yan remember this!

Mistaking the wrong person is a mistake!

Now is the perfect opportunity to admit your mistakes!

Just as the nocturnal bird was about to speak, Qiao Bai's voice came again: "Didn't you just say you were going to send the Weaver Bird down to see its Beastmaster and wife?"

The rhythm was abruptly interrupted, bringing back the nocturnal birds that had been playing their original rhythm: "..."

The nocturnal bird glared menacingly at Qiao Bai... and then its gaze met that of the cat-like insect in Qiao Bai's arms.

While being kneaded comfortably by Qiao Bai, the cat-like insect wiggled its six paws, its face showing a look of sympathy for Qiao Bai and a desire to watch the show together.

Nocturnal bird: "..."

A mother's anger at seeing her unfilial son surged up instantly.

"Ji-li-" You unfilial son! I've wasted my time raising you!

Catbug: [w?]

But... dragons have beast tamers among their offspring!

I am very grateful to the unborn father for delivering the baby.

But the dragon will eventually return to its beloved Beastmaster and stand on the same side as its Beastmaster!

Isn't that right?

Isn't that how you treat your beast tamer?

Completely unaware of what had happened in between, the cat-like insect struck a fatal blow to the bird's heart, stabbing it in the most painful spot with a single sentence.

Nocturnal bird: "..."

well.

A look that confirmed it.

This cub is definitely not its cub!

The nocturnal bird angrily turned its head away, not even glancing at the caterpillar. It didn't care about taking care of the hatchlings anymore; what mattered more were the chicks in its arms!

My dear child... The nocturnal bird's wings gently caressed the two pet eggs.

Yu Yan also put down her hands that were holding the Night-Walking Bird's large face. She patted the Night-Walking Bird's head with her other hand: "The doubts are cleared up, and Qiao Bai's pet is fine, but that doesn't mean that stealing the pet's egg was the right thing to do."

"Tell me, what have you decided to do now?"

"Admit your mistake, or show any aggressive intent, and I'll send you to see your wife and kids." Yu Yan shrugged as she said this. "Anyway, once Yanlong sees you, he definitely won't mind beating you up, right?"

The nocturnal bird, gazing lovingly at its pet egg, thought: "..."

Hearing the words "Flame Dragon + Beating Up" and "punishment" unconsciously reminded the Night-Walking Bird of its memories from when it was still a Weaver Bird... It's not that it wasn't wonderful; being beaten up by one's wife is also a kind of fun.

"ji..." I... my child...

The nocturnal bird looked up at Yu Yan with a wronged expression, then at the humans behind her.

Admit your mistake.

But he never repented.

That's the meaning conveyed by those aggrieved eyes.

Qiao Bai glanced down at the cat-like insect, then at the nocturnal bird opposite him: "This is really your wild father. You two are even similar in this kind of unrepentant spirit."

Cat Bug: ╭(╯^╰)╮

Nocturnal bird: "..."

Thank you, but I don't really think it's a compliment!

Seeing that the nocturnal birds did not show any intention to attack, Luo Yiming breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

If possible... Luo Yiming also didn't want to issue a hunting order to the only surviving pet of a beast tamer who had sacrificed himself in the beast tide. It was a very heartbreaking thing.

The pets that once fought alongside their tamers against the beast tides have gradually fallen into pain and madness due to the loss of their tamers' restraint and companionship, to the point where they can no longer control their own reason... Death is the best ending they can give to these pets.

Fortunately, the current Weaver Bird evolution has not reached that stage.

However, appropriate measures should still be taken.

"You like taking care of pet eggs, right?" Luo Yiming stepped forward and looked at the nocturnal bird: "As long as you accept the punishment, after the punishment is over, we can arrange a position for you to take care of pet eggs in the hatching center, and we will also give you the freedom to visit your beast tamer."

Luo Yiming looked at Su Que's tombstone, then turned back to the nocturnal bird: "What do you think?"

"I know you may have spent several years accumulating the emotions and energy for evolution, but you haven't been evolving for very long, have you?"

"We can understand why someone might act irrationally in a moment of weakness."

While Luo Yiming wasn't exactly an expert at handling this series of events triggered by extraordinary beings, he was certainly no stranger to them either.

"Professor Qiao Bai, what's your thinking?" Luo Yiming turned to Qiao Bai and explained, "According to Star City's different levels of punishment for supernatural creatures, the Night-Walking Bird will be assigned to the Forbidden Land by the Beast Taming Alliance to eliminate supernatural creatures with higher danger levels. The number of supernatural creatures it needs to eliminate will vary depending on the severity of its crime."

"If you want a heavier sentence, the league will take your opinion into consideration."

As an extraordinary creature without the restraint of a beast tamer, fighting with wild extraordinary creatures will drive the Night Wanderer into a berserk state. The more extraordinary creatures it fights, the more the Night Wanderer's state will resemble those uncontrolled wild extraordinary creatures dominated by instinct and savagery.

In other words, it brings you one step closer to death.

Qiao Bai glanced at Luo Yiming: "I'm not some kind of devil."

Luo Yiming and Yu Yan were just about to breathe a sigh of relief—thank goodness, they knew it…

"A heavy sentence is unnecessary," Qiao Bai continued. "If I had to say I have any thoughts... after the Nocturnal Bird's punishment is over, you plan to have it do volunteer work at the Honghu University's incubation center, right?"

"Then I hope that the working hours for nocturnal birds will be fixed at eight hours a day, and that nocturnal birds will not be allowed to enter the hatchery outside of working hours."

Luo Yiming and Yu Yan: "?"

Nocturnal bird: "..."

Qi Yuelin, Weiwei, and Li Gan exchanged a glance.

well.

Qiao Bai is still the devil they know.

It's one thing to risk the lives of nocturnal birds, but we'll definitely not let them have an easy time either.

Eight hours a day?

This timeframe may be the limit for humanity.

This is not the case for extraordinary beings.

This is especially true for a male nocturnal bird that treats all the pet eggs as its own children and wants to stay with them forever, exhibiting a special stress response—if possible, the nocturnal bird could even sleep directly in the incubation center in the future!

Qiao Bai: "How about it? Aren't I incredibly humanitarian?"

"The egg thief stole my reward and also took my pet, but in the end, I not only didn't hold it against it, but also arranged a wonderful job for it in the future," Qiao Bai said seriously.

"Mmm-hmm." Luo Yiming and Yu Yan were both too shocked to speak by Qiao Bai. It was Qi Yue who gave a perfunctory reply: "You're such a kind devil."

Luo Yiming and Yu Yan: "Ahem!"

Although... what Qiao Bai said makes some sense, doesn't it?

"Okay... eight hours a day is fine." Luo Yiming glanced at the evolved Weaver Bird and silently mourned for it in his heart.

Hey.

You have to take responsibility for the mistakes you make, right?

The punishment Qiao Bai requested wasn't really that harsh; it was just a slight test of the nocturnal bird's willpower.

I'm sure nocturnal birds can do it!

The nocturnal bird, who understood their conversation, thought: "..."

Did you ask for my opinion?

Yu Yan glanced at him.

The nocturnal birds immediately fell silent.

"Admit your mistakes and face them. I'll come to see Senior Sister with you next time," Yu Yan said calmly. "Then we can tell Senior Sister about what happened in the past two years. I'm sure Senior Sister and Yanlong will be very happy to see us then, right?"

The words of rebuttal stuck in his throat.

After evolving, the brain, which had been caught up in its own emotions, gradually came to its senses, and the nocturnal bird reluctantly took out the two pet eggs from its arms.

"jiji——li——" I can't embarrass the Beast Tamers... I have to control myself... Beast Tamers, my wife... I'll come back to see you openly and honestly next time!

Wait for me!

Wait for me!

I promised, I will live well and will never try to kill myself.

I've become stronger.

I can kill even more extraordinary creatures!

Who knows, we might even be able to participate in the next action to resist the beast tide!

As long as I'm alive, I'm waiting for the next time.

If we die—we'll be reunited!

Before leaving Dongling for the Beast Taming Alliance to be dealt with, the nocturnal bird gently rubbed against Su Que's tombstone a few times, then folded its wings obediently and without resistance, following Luo Yiming and the others away.

……

the next day.

Qiao Bai returned to Honghu University, and compared to the unfamiliarity he felt yesterday, he now exuded a more familiar and skilled demeanor.

The issue of the nocturnal birds was reported to the Beast Taming Alliance after it was resolved.

Because Qiao Bai did not request a severe punishment, the Beast Taming Alliance, after assessing the condition of the Night-Walking Bird, imposed the appropriate punishment on it.

"Kill ten Tier 6 Transcendent creatures." Luo Yiming smiled and told Qiao Bai the punishment result: "Then we injected subcutaneous positioning chips into the nocturnal birds, officially bringing them under control. This will allow us to better monitor their movements and also make it easier to give them some freedom."

This result is meaningless to Qiao Bai.

Actually, the cat-like insects were found and even hatched... cough cough, in a sense, Qiao Bai should thank the nocturnal bird.

Thinking about it this way, Qiao Bai suddenly felt a little guilty.

The size of a little fingernail.

"By the way, let's add a time limit to the punishment for nocturnal birds, six months. After six months, the eight-hour restriction will be lifted," Qiao Bai said calmly.

Mainly...

Working hours really depend on the person, don't they?!

What if Luo Yiming or other school staff couldn't bear to listen to the nocturnal birds' pleas and turned a blind eye?

It would be better to set a timeframe, ensuring that nocturnal birds' working hours remain exactly eight hours for at least the next six months.

Good.

Punishment and kindness have achieved a perfect balance.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yiming couldn't help but laugh: "Professor Qiao Bai, you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

As he spoke, Luo Yiming looked at Qiao Bai with even greater admiration.

In other words, which school wouldn't be tempted by a beast tamer who is both literate and skilled in martial arts, possesses great strength, and has a kind heart?

Anyway, the swan cannot.

Qiao Bai smiled but remained silent.

"Oh right, this is the reward I should have given you after the competition ended. I didn't expect it to take so long and have so many twists and turns..." As he spoke, Luo Yiming turned around, opened the pet egg behind him, took it out, and gently wiped the special liquid off the shell of the pet egg onto a soft cloth.

"We re-examined the pet egg yesterday and found it undamaged. It's in good condition and should hatch in the next day or two."

"To express our apology, these resources are presented to you, Professor Qiao Bai, as compensation."
