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

Chapter 75 Little Wu: Respect in attitude, contempt in strength! Instant kill!

If she used to regard Qiao Bai as a gifted junior, from this moment on, both Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu became real, evenly matched opponents in her eyes, opponents she had to be prepared for!

"I was arrogant."

"This time I will use a level 5 high-level Violent Giant Bear to fight you."

Chu Yanyi pursed her lips and said with a solemn expression.

Chu Yanyi was alarmed by Xiao Wu's improvement in strength.

But compared to figuring out how Xiao Wu did it, what's more important now is that Xiao Wu has already done it.

Accepting reality and adjusting one's mindset to face it as much as possible is the best choice.

Chu Yanyi retrieved the fallen fourth-tier advanced violent giant bear into her spiritual sea beast-taming space. It wasn't seriously injured, since Xiao Wu hadn't really made a move. It just needed to rest for a while in her spiritual sea beast-taming space.

immediately.

A much larger, fifth-tier high-level violent giant bear with black markings on its body makes its appearance!

"Hurrah!"

Standing about four meters tall with even more developed muscles, the violent giant bear pounded its chest like a gorilla while roaring to the sky.

"Big Bear, don't let your guard down," Chu Yanyi said. "That Hua bird didn't even make a move, and Little Bear is already lying down."

The violent giant bear's gaze toward Little Wu became even more serious, filled with fighting spirit.

Qiao Bai's attention, however, was on... Xiong Da and Xiong Er?

What's the name of that low-level, fourth-tier, super-strong bear? Bear Three?

Well-reasoned and supported by evidence.

Very reasonable.

Aside from being slightly...embarrassing, there were no problems.

"The name you gave the Violent Giant Bear is quite unique," Qiao Bai said.

Chu Yanyi nodded, completely unaware of Qiao Bai's meaning: "Xiong Da was the first pet I contracted, so it ranks first. The other pets I contracted after that follow the same order."

Qiao Bai didn't expect that his casual guess would actually be correct.

After coughing twice, the battle between Little Wu and the violent giant bear was about to break out!

The little black bear's red eyes were fixed on the violent giant bear, its pupils constantly stretching and contracting, like a raptor on the hunt.

As the wings flapped, the intense heat continued to rise.

Without using any skills, this was the pressure and aura that Xiao Wu unconsciously exuded in battle!

"roar--"

"Hurrah—!"

The fifth-tier advanced violent giant bear was not to be outdone.

The powerful aura seemed to be pressing down on it, making it almost impossible for it to kick over, but the violent giant bear roared to the sky, using its roar to make its aura equal to that of the little bear.

The scorching heatwave and the down-to-earth Xiong Da had a clash of styles!

The two sides seemed evenly matched!

Evenly matched!

Chu Yanyi's expression became even more serious and solemn.

Starting from the fifth tier, the differences between each sub-tier are all different.

There is a clear difference between a pet that is about to break through to the sixth tier and one that has just broken through to the fifth tier. It's not that the latter will definitely lose, but even if it wins, it will generally not be an easy victory.

Although it's unclear whether Xiao Wu is a low-level, mid-level, or high-level Tier 5, it's unlikely that he and the Violent Giant Bear, who has long since become a high-level Tier 5, would be evenly matched to this extent.

This is no longer a question of whether it is strong or not.

This is absolutely defying the heavens!

In particular, Chu Yanyi knew very well that Xiong Da had been stuck at the advanced fifth rank for nearly a year, and all he needed was a suitable opportunity to break through to the sixth rank.

Normally speaking.

Little Wu, who has just entered the fifth level, could never be so at ease in front of Xiong Da!

...Chu Yanyi took a deep breath.

She already had a bad feeling.

Chu Yanyi refused to think about it any further.

"Violent Giant Bear, use slamming!"

The violent giant bear raised its hands high, about to grab the little bird flying in mid-air.

Is it so easy for Xiao Wu to be caught?

Even before evolving, Ulquiorra's speed was already maxed out, let alone after evolving.

Despite having a body nearly two meters long, Xiao Wu flew with an agility, nimbleness, unrestrained speed, and unbridled ability to change lanes at lightning speed, easily shaking off the violent giant bear.

And because the attack started, the passive skill was triggered, and the Violent Giant Bear's strongest skill, Mount Tai Press, was completely copied and used on the Violent Giant Bear himself.

An invisible, unseen mountain suddenly pressed down on the head of the violent giant bear!

The violent giant bear straightened its back, trying to fight back, but the downward force only increased exponentially. The violent giant bear, who usually used this skill to kill opponents with ease, now tasted the immense pain.

"Bang—"

With a loud bang and billowing dust, the violent giant bear fell straight down face down on the ground, and the ground visibly sank slightly into a large crater shaped like the bear.

"..."

Then I remembered that Xiao Wu also had a passively triggered skill, Chu Yanyi.

"Violent Giant Bear, get up quickly!" Seeing the Violent Giant Bear lying on the ground, unable to get up for a while due to its lack of agility, Chu Yanyi keenly realized that the situation was not good, and she quickly shouted loudly.

"Little Crow, Blazing Sun."

Little Crow understood immediately. It flapped its wings and flew high, so fast that only a golden-red afterimage could be seen in the air, as if Little Crow was everywhere.

As Chu Yanyi watched... he suddenly realized something was wrong!

Something's very wrong!

Those afterimages weren't her imagination!

Instead... the air throughout the entire arena seemed to be shrouded in wisps of red mist.

It's the blazing sun!

The entire venue was transformed into Xiao Wu's domain!

The scorching sun is everywhere!

The few staff members scattered around the training ground were all taken aback by the scene before them. They rushed out to check the situation and saw Qiao Bai and Chu Yanyi engaged in battle on a certain battlefield.

"What kind of skill is this? It can cover the entire area of ​​our venue?"

"Absolutely! When did our school have such amazing students?!"

"Area of ​​effect attack! This must be an advanced area of ​​effect attack skill!"

"Let me see! Let me see what kind of extraordinary creature could do something so amazing!"

The staff looked up.

The most eye-catching feature is the brightly colored little bird beneath its feathers.

No one doubted that the moment they saw Xiao Wu, they were certain that the extraordinary creature affecting the entire venue's environment must be this golden-red bird, as if the sun had descended!

At the same time, a gasp was heard.

They couldn't help but wonder: What kind of extraordinary creature is this?

Why does it feel like... I've never seen this before?

To know.

As staff members of the Bluebird University training ground, they had seen most of the extraordinary creatures, but none of them could identify Xiao Wu's identity.

As the little bird flapped its wings toward the sky.

A golden-red figure, formed from condensed flames and identical to Xiao Wu, detached from Xiao Wu's body and attacked the violent giant bear that was crawling up on the ground with lightning speed!

The golden-red flames instantly pierced through the violent giant bear's body.

"Violent Giant Bear!" Chu Yanyi shouted the name of the Violent Giant Bear, "Big Bear, stand up!"

However, the violent giant bear's body seemed to be stuck, maintaining the motion of climbing up, motionless, like a frozen statue.

Chu Yanyi was extremely anxious.

Then, it wasn't the violent giant bear that started moving, but Little Wu.

After circling once in the air, Little Wu landed gently and easily on the arched body of the violent giant bear.

at last.

The violent giant bear's body plummeted violently to the ground once again!

His limbs lay limply outstretched.

There was no need to go over and check on the violent giant bear; just looking at the little crow bouncing on its back, one could tell that the violent giant bear had already passed out.

Chu Yanyi: "..."

The surrounding staff members: "..."

"Little Wu, come here." Qiao Bai smiled and waved to Little Wu, breaking the unspoken silence.

It's simply because... the violent giant bear lost too quickly!

A crushing victory!

one move!

Little Wu easily and effortlessly killed this enormous, violent bear in one move!

Those who don't know might think the violent giant bear is the weaker one.

...Well, Chu Yanyi isn't sure now whether her Xiong Da is stronger or Qiao Bai's Xiao Wu is stronger.

"Could it be that Little Wu is about to break through to the sixth rank?" Chu Yanyi stepped forward to check on the unconscious Violent Giant Bear Xiong Da. Looking at the Violent Giant Bear, who had no wounds but was completely unconscious, her voice was full of confusion.

Qiao Bai: "No, senior, there are some basic rules to leveling up. Xiao Wu is indeed only at the mid-level of the fifth rank."

Fifth-tier intermediate level?

Chu Yanyi looked at Qiao Bai with a reproachful gaze.

She glanced at Xiao Wu, who was being held in Qiao Bai's arms like a clingy, spoiled brat, and then at Xiong Da, the violent giant bear lying on the ground like a mountain of flesh. Chu Yanyi fell silent.

What exactly went wrong?

It feels like her normal values ​​were completely shattered by Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu working together.

After thoroughly inspecting the Violent Giant Bear and confirming that it did not have any fatal wounds, Chu Yanyi stored the Violent Giant Bear Da Ye into her spiritual sea beast-taming space.

"Go get treatment."

……

With the help of the treatment device, the two bears quickly regained consciousness.

Open your eyes.

Xiong Da and Xiong Er were not discouraged at all; in fact, they excitedly surrounded Xiao Wu.

"Hurrah!"

No wonder he's Xiongxiong's destined rival!

"Roar! Hurrah!"

No, no!

This is my opponent!

Go cool off somewhere else, you brat!

"Hurrah!"

Xiongxiong met him first!

"Roar! Hurrah—!"

I'm stronger!

We are the more compatible couple!

"Hurrah!"

Don't you have your destined rival?

They insisted on taking my bear!

tui!

Stupid big brother!

The two bears, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, started arguing over Xiao Wu, almost turning into an internal family feud.

Xiaowu: (▼ヘ▼#)

Does it mean the birds don't exist?

They're all going to get lost!

The little bird spread its wings, flapping its left and right hands, demonstrating that it treats everyone equally and no one should be left out.

The bears, Big Bear and Little Bear, who were beaten, were not angry at all. Instead, they gave Little Crow a "lovable" smile, provided that you ignored their enormous size, which was like a mountain.

Feeling the burning sensation in her eyes, Xiao Wu buried her face in Qiao Bai's arms.

Little Wu: Beastmasters are still the best!

"You two..." Chu Yanyi hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

She probably never imagined that these two bears would one day compete for attention (?).

Chu Yanyi didn't understand.

Chu Yanyi, like Xiao Wu, also found it offensive.

She had always known that the Violent Giant Bear's appearance, whether in its infancy or adolescence, had nothing to do with cuteness, and it wasn't particularly good-looking. However, Chu Yanyi considered herself to be someone who didn't care about the appearance of extraordinary creatures, but rather focused more on their inner qualities.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have successively contracted with three extraordinary creatures, all of which were bears.

Until she saw this scene... Chu Yanyi suddenly realized that good looks are still somewhat important.

At least when she saw Xiao Wu acting cute towards Qiao Bai, she found it adorable.

But seeing the two big bears acting cute on the side... I instantly felt a sense of dislocation, like Lu Zhishen shedding tears while embroidering flowers.

Unable to bear the sight of anything else, Chu Yanyi decisively stored both of the violent giant bears into his spiritual sea beast-taming space, and said, "Go and rest!"

Stop hurting her eyes here!

The two enormous, violent bears suddenly disappeared, and the air seemed to become smoother all of a sudden.

"Qiao Bai, how did Xiao Wu improve so quickly? Is there any secret?" Chu Yanyi exhaled from her chest and asked curiously.

Qiao Bai: "It's evolution. After evolving, Xiao Wu's strength increased dramatically."

kindness?

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanyi's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"The evolutionary path of Xiaowu shouldn't be the same as the two known Hua birds," she said with certainty.

Although Chu Yanyi was not a student majoring in pet evolution, this was a unique feature of Qingniao University, with many related elective courses. She had also taken many related courses and was familiar with the evolutionary paths of some common extraordinary creatures.

Hua Niao... Normally, even after Hua Niao evolves, it doesn't look like this!

The two sat in the spectator area of ​​the training field. Since it was still a holiday, there was no one else around them.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Bai didn't hide anything: "Hmm... Xiao Wu's evolution can be considered a new evolutionary path for Hua Niao."

This matter definitely cannot be kept secret.

After all, the evolved Little U is right here, and anyone who knows Little U's original species will immediately notice something is wrong as soon as it appears.

"You...you really are a genius." Chu Yanyi was somewhat surprised: "I remember half a year ago? It seems like half a year ago, you discovered the little fire fox's new evolutionary path, and less than a year has passed, and you've discovered another extraordinary creature's new evolutionary path?"

If Chu Yanyi didn't know just how difficult it is to discover new evolutionary paths for extraordinary beings, she would have doubted whether this was something that could be done easily.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai smiled.

"There's an element of luck involved," Qiao Bai said, half-jokingly. "It'll probably be difficult to replicate Xiao Wu's evolution. After all, finding another Hua Niao that has mutated in the same bad direction as Xiao Wu isn't an easy task."

Qiao Bai did not see the evolutionary path of the Three-Legged Golden Crow and the Radiant Peacock in normal Hua birds.

This also shows that there are prerequisites for Hua Niao to follow these two evolutionary paths.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai stroked his chin. If other extraordinary creatures also mutated, would they also experience a situation similar to Xiao Wu, with a new evolutionary path?

Qiao Bai felt that it was worth observing if there was an opportunity.

Chu Yanyi nodded: "I understand. Cases like yours do exist."

As she spoke, Chu Yanyi seemed to be thinking about something, before finally asking, "Qiao Bai, what are you planning to do next?"

kindness?

Qiao Bai paused for a moment: "This... I haven't thought about it yet."

His original plan was to take Xiao Wu to the volcano to cultivate and comprehend the essence of fire.

Unexpectedly, after attending a party with Zhou Xinran, Xiao Wu successfully comprehended the essence fire and evolved.

While pleasantly surprised, Qiao Bai was also slightly confused about what to do next.

After working hard for more than 200 days, the goal has finally been achieved.

How about... taking a break?

Before Qiao Bai could decide whether to take a trip around the area, he heard Chu Yanyi say, "There are still about ten days before school starts. How about we go to the forbidden area of ​​Dongzhou City together?"

"This season is perfect for the vigorous growth of Welcoming Grass, and the forbidden area of ​​Dongzhou City is also open during this period. We can plan our route and stay for a few more days, then come back before school starts."

Chu Yanyi spoke very fluently.

Clearly, this was a trip she had planned long ago. After acknowledging Qiao Bai's abilities, she wanted to invite him to join her.

Qiao Bai did not refuse immediately, but thought about it for a moment.

Yingying grass is a low-level herb, not precious, but it is a very useful all-purpose herb.

When processing any other herbs or medicines, adding a little bit of Yingying grass can improve the quality by 10% to 20%.

Alternatively, consuming the Welcoming Grass directly can also grant extraordinary creatures a positive buff of mental clarity and peace of mind, making it the favorite herb that the Breeding House likes to add to the food of extraordinary creatures.

Because of this characteristic of the Welcoming Grass, during the two months of its growth cycle, the number of ferocious supernatural creatures on the outskirts of the Forbidden Land has decreased by 90%, with only one or two remaining. These creatures will give up fighting after smelling the overwhelming scent of the Welcoming Grass.

It's not that only fresh jasmine has this effect.

Weeping grass will definitely become the most popular herb, bar none.

Drying the forsythia and making it into a pillow filling can also help people get good sleep quality. You will wake up quickly and comfortably every day, and you will not experience symptoms such as splitting headaches after staying up late.

It is truly all-powerful.

The Chinese tallow tree is great in every way, except that its growth cycle is too short and the harvesting process is too tedious.

With only a two-month growth cycle after the New Year, the area outside the forbidden zone in Dongzhou City and even further away in Miyun City is covered with Welcoming Grass, so much so that it is impossible to harvest it all.

The growing environment of the Welcoming Grass is not delicate, but if you try to harvest it by machine, the Welcoming Grass will wither instantly.

Yingyingcao: Machine harvesting is a lifeless harvesting method! Reject it!

Furthermore, the person harvesting the fruit cannot be an ordinary person; at the very least, they must be a prospective beast tamer who has awakened the qualifications of a beast tamer.

Pets can also help with the harvesting.

In addition, once the two-month growing season is over, the day before, when the hillsides were covered with forsythia, they would disappear completely, vanishing into the air without a single one remaining.

then.

Every year during the growing season of the Welcoming Grass, the Forbidden Lands of Dongzhou City and Miyun City open up the harvesting rights for Welcoming Grass and are willing to buy the freshly harvested Welcoming Grass from Beast Tamers at a considerable price.

But there are beast tamers who are truly willing to go through the trouble of picking Welcoming Grass... there are, but not many.

After all, picking Welcoming Grass is a physically demanding job, and the money earned is hard-earned. Most Beast Tamers would rather just buy it ready-made.

They really will go. Either they are beast tamers who don't have much money and not much potential, and they want to make a quick buck, or they are beast tamers who desperately need Welcoming Grass.

As for how the authorities harvest enough Welcoming Grass... they wait until a week before the Welcoming Grass season is about to end, and then mobilize the Beastmasters guarding the Forbidden Land to harvest it together.

Fifth-tier Beast Tamers: "..."

Don't ask.

The answer is that every year when it's time to harvest the welcoming grass, it's the time when their nightmare begins!

Thankfully, I was able to get my own pets involved!

Otherwise, they would really want to quit at this point!

Therefore, the Forbidden Land truly welcomes any Beast Tamer willing to go and pick Welcoming Grass.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If you ask me, picking Welcoming Grass should be done by college students. As long as it can earn credits, I guarantee that many college students who are Beast Tamers will be willing to do it."

Money isn't important.

The most important thing is academic credits!

Not every beast tamer who gets into university can smoothly complete all their credits and graduate. Some people are not smart enough and will fail their exams as usual.

Not to mention that many people are only interested in training and have no intention of taking elective courses.

But if you don't attend classes, you won't get enough credits.

Can you earn academic credits by picking fern grass?

I absolutely have to go!

Chu Yanyi: "..."

Chu Yanyi didn't want to speak.

Because, upon hearing Qiao Bai's suggestion, Chu Yanyi himself was subtly tempted.

Ahem... She herself is the kind of beast tamer who doesn't really want to take elective courses if she can. She would rather spend that time training with the three bears.

"Let's not talk about that for now. I can give the principal some advice when I have the chance." Chu Yanyi shook her head, dismissing the charming idea. "Bear Big, Bear Two, and Bear Three are all fighting-type pets. When they break through to the sixth rank, they may become enraged and emotionally unstable. I want to go and pick some Welcoming Grass."

"See if you're interested."

"If you have time, you could consider preparing some welcoming grass just in case?"

Chu Yanyi wasn't just saying that casually.

As pets train and their levels and strength increase, they may exhibit symptoms of rage under certain circumstances.

The more aggressive a supernatural creature is, the more likely it is to experience a similar situation.

Qiao Bai fell silent upon remembering this.

I almost forgot about that.

After Ulquiorra evolves and gains the fire attribute, this situation may occur.

"Okay, let's go together then." This time, Qiao Bai didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

Bring back more.

Let's sew a bird's nest for Little Wu!

If someone fills the bird's nest with privet grass every day, the likelihood of this happening to the little bird will be greatly reduced!

Chu Yanyi laughed.

She had originally planned to go alone, since the outer perimeter of the forbidden land wasn't very dangerous at this time. However, with Qiao Bai by her side, the chances of something going wrong would be even lower.

……

Qiao Bai sent a message to Zhou Xinran, explaining that he was going to the forbidden area of ​​Dongzhou City to pick the Welcoming Grass.

[Zhou Xinran: Forsythia? Pick more, I haven't prepared any forsythia for this year yet.]

[Qiao Bai: ...Are you trying to get away with my hard work for free?]

[Zhou Xinran: How can you say that? I'm practically your teacher, so helping me pick five or ten pounds of forsythia isn't unreasonable, is it?]

[Qiao Bai: Goodbye, farewell!]

Five or ten pounds of *Welcoming Grass*?

A normal person could only harvest about two kilograms of jasmine by manually picking it for a whole day or eight hours.

I'm exhausted.

Qiao Bai went to pick the Welcoming Grass, not to become a grass slave.

Qiao Bai spends three or four hours picking each day, taking several days to gather about three to five kilograms, enough to make a nest for Xiao Wu.

More?

Even if it wasn't meant to kill him!

Qiao Bai promptly slipped away.

[Zhou Xinran: Okay, okay, just give me about a pound of Weeping Grass, alright?]

[Qiao Bai: ...See?]

Anyway, I'm not sure.

We'll talk about it later if there's more.

After sending a message to Zhou Xinran, Qiao Bai quickly packed his luggage.

The money for the plane tickets to Dongzhou City was transferred directly to Chu Yanyi, and the two of them booked the tickets together.

After it was dealt with.

Qiao Bai placed Xiao Wu on the newly made little bed and then prepared to go to bed himself.

No sooner had he lain down than Xiao Wu snuggled up to Qiao Bai and, before Qiao Bai could react, plopped down on him with a crushing weight. Xiao Wu curled up into a ball, happily preparing to go to sleep.

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Little Crow".

Xiao Wu: zzz

"You can't do that."

Xiao Wu: zzz

"If you don't behave, I'll take you back to the Beast Taming Space."

Little Crow: "!"

Instantly, Xiao Wu could no longer pretend to be asleep.

Xiao Wu opened its eyes, eyes that shone even in the darkness. Looking at Qiao Bai, its golden-red eyes were filled with grievance, as if saying:

Are birds not cute enough?

Did the beast tamer dislike the bird?

Otherwise, why can't we sleep with the birds?

This time, it was Qiao Bai's turn to pretend to be asleep and not say anything.

What could he say?

Back when Xiao Wu was still a tiny little thing, even if he slept on his chest, he wasn't very noticeable.

Most of the time, if Qiao Bai simply rolled over, Xiao Wu would tumble down with a "gurgle gurgle".

But after evolving, Xiao Wu slept on Qiao Bai's chest... Qiao Bai really didn't want to describe that feeling, mainly because he was afraid of being beaten up by Xiao Wu if he said it.

The evolved Little U made Qiao Bai realize something profound—

Every bite of food that Xiao Wu ate was worthwhile!

Each bite successfully transformed into Xiao Wu's heavy weight, pressing down on Qiao Bai's chest like a weight.

It can give you the illusion that you could break a bone at any moment if you're not careful.

"How about... I hold you while we sleep?" Qiao Bai said helplessly.

These words cannot be spoken.

If he were to reveal it, neither he nor Xiao Wu would be able to sleep tonight. Qiao Bai had no choice but to change his approach and try to distract Xiao Wu.

All I want is to sleep with him!

The position doesn't matter!

The important thing is to stick it on when you sleep, right?

Upon hearing this, Little Crow's golden-red eyes shone even brighter.

(* ^ ▽ ^ *)

Okay, okay!

Little Wu happily squeezed into Qiao Bai's open arms.

Qiao Bai rolled over, holding Xiao Wu, her voice full of helplessness: "You're a grown-up bird now, you need to learn to sleep alone from now on, understand?"

Xiao Wu: zzz

You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep, just as you can't wake a bird that's pretending to be asleep and doesn't want to listen. This is an unchanging truth.

Little Crow: As long as the bird doesn't hear it, it can pretend it doesn't know!

See you next time!

Absolutely no repentance!

……

The two set off in the morning and arrived at the forbidden area of ​​Dongzhou City a little after 1 p.m.

Just got off the plane.

As soon as he turned on his phone, he received a series of notifications. Upon seeing them, Qiao Bai wanted to do what Xiao Wu did last night and pretend he hadn't seen anything.

"What's wrong? Is this a message from your friend?" Chu Yanyi asked when she saw Qiao Bai trying to put her phone away.

Qiao Bai rubbed his forehead: "...You could say that."

Actually, the messages were from Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian, and there were even two messages from Vice President Cen Yuanjin.

No one knows how they found out that Qiao Bai had arrived in Dongzhou City, Dongzhi Province, but news kept coming in one after another.

It's not that Qiao Bai dislikes them.

It's really... Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian's enthusiasm is making Qiao Bai feel a bit overwhelmed.

And then there's Cen Yuanjin. I don't know what's wrong with this vice president of the Incubator Association. These past two days, he's been showing me concern beyond what's normal... If it weren't for the age difference, Qiao Bai would have suspected that the other party is secretly... cough cough!

You're overthinking it; you're definitely overthinking it.

"They're from Toshiba Province. I don't know how they found out I was in Dongzhou City, but they insisted on coming to find me," Qiao Bai sighed.

Chu Yanyi said without much concern, "Are they beast tamers? How strong are they? If they're alright, it wouldn't be a problem to have them come over."

"Prospective Beast Tamers," Qiao Bai said impartially and without emotion. "However, their pets have quite good potential; one is a baby dragon, and the other is a Balin turtle."

"Baby Dragon and Balin Turtle? That's not just good potential, it's exceptionally good!" Chu Yanyi's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Ask them if they're interested in picking Welcoming Grass together. Putting everything else aside, they should be able to protect themselves, right?"

"Maybe we can even have a friendly match."

Qiao Bai glanced at Chu Yanyi: "Your map of Yan is a bit too short."

Let him ask her, is it because she wants to fight them?

Qiao Bai clearly saw through Chu Yanyi's battle maniac nature.

Before losing to Qiao Bai, Chu Yanyi would come to challenge Qiao Bai to a duel every few days; the rest of the time he was either fighting or on his way to a fight.

Training and battles are the keynote of Chu Yanyi's life.

Chu Yanyi looked at Qiao Bai with an embarrassed smile, without saying a word, just blinking her long, narrow eyes.

Qiao Bai wasn't sure whether the pet resembled the beast tamer or the beast tamer resembled the pet. He inexplicably saw the silly expression of the violent giant bear in Chu Yanyi.

...This must just be his imagination!

Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian kept sending him messages.

Looking at Chu Yanyi, who was standing next to her with an expectant expression, Qiao Bai had no choice but to quickly send messages to both of them to inquire.

[Qiao Bai: In the forbidden area of ​​Dongzhou City, would you be interested in picking Welcoming Grass together?]

[Zou Tang: Yes, yes, yes! Wait two hours! I'm coming right now!]

[Huo Xiaotian: You need Welcoming Grass? I have some I can give you. I'll bring it to you right now!]

Both were equally enthusiastic, but Huo Xiaotian was even more enthusiastic towards Qiao Bai.

Huo Xiaotian was stubborn and refused to admit that he was concerned about Qiao Bai. Instead, he felt that if Qiao Bai wanted to use Yingying Grass, it must be because Xiao Wu had some problems. As someone who had gone through a crisis with Xiao Wu, it was normal for him to care about Xiao Wu!

Seeing that these two people really intended to come, Qiao Bai and Chu Yanyi were not in a hurry to enter the forbidden area.

They first walked around the forbidden area of ​​Dongzhou City together, and then went to register their identities.

"This place feels a lot like the forbidden zone in New York City," Qiao Bai said with a smile, looking at the city walls, which were about the same height as the walls, and the atmosphere of people coming and going inside.

"The more you go, the more you'll find that most forbidden places in cities are actually very similar. The difference lies in the extraordinary creatures on the stalls and the internal environment," Chu Yanyi said as she walked past the bustling stalls. "For example, the forbidden place in NY City is generally fire-oriented, and the area covered by jungle is actually not very large."

"It's said that a new fire-attribute mine was discovered at the end of last year? It might be open to the public this year."

Qiao Bai nodded.

indeed.

With volcanic environments, fire-attribute mineral deposits, and abundant rocks, the Forbidden Land of NY City leans towards a rugged, offensive nature, with fire being particularly prominent.

Chu Yanyi continued, "Unlike the forbidden land in NY City, the forbidden land in Dongzhou City is more focused on wood, special, fairy, and dark attributes, making the environment inside much more complex."

"To date, the exploration rate of the forbidden area in Dongzhou City is only 21%, because the internal environment is too difficult."

"Fortunately, we're only exploring the outer perimeter of the forbidden land this time, so we don't need to go deep into it and don't have to worry about it too much."

Qiao Bai nodded.

It sounds pretty complicated.

Of these attributes, only the wood attribute is somewhat straightforward. As for the rest... special attributes, fairy attributes, dark attributes... Qiao Bai just wanted to ask, are you sure this isn't just stacking buffs?

Followed by.

Qiao Bai then thought of Li Gan.

The problem with Li Gan's dragon lizard before... seems to have occurred in the forbidden area of ​​Dongzhou?

Somewhat uncertain, Qiao Bai sent a message to Li Gan.

[Li Gan: Right! Xiao Qi's abnormality started after we went to the forbidden land in the Eastern Continent. So, my good brother, are you planning to help me get revenge?]

[Qiao Bai: I just happened to be passing by and remembered you, so I just asked.]

[Li Gan: I knew it! You heartless bastard, how could you possibly remember your wife if you weren't in trouble...?]

As the messages were being sent out, Li Gan's message abruptly stopped.

Qiao Bai immediately realized what was going on.

This time should have been right when Li Gan was in class, but Li Gan was secretly replying to his message on his phone... He probably got caught by the teacher!

Amen.

Hopefully it's not Lao Wang's class.

Otherwise, you can forget about getting this phone back before the college entrance exam.

Qiao Bai silently offered a few insincere prayers for Li Gan. When she looked up, she saw Zou Tang running excitedly in this direction, followed by Huo Xiaotian, who looked unhappy.

"Why are you running so fast!" Huo Xiaotian was dragging two suitcases and couldn't keep up with Zou Tang's speed at all, so he could only curse under his breath.

"Ha! Qiao Bai, you're really not being fair! You came to Dongzhou City without even telling me beforehand!" Zou Tang ran excitedly to Qiao Bai's side without turning his head. "Luckily, I have special information channels, otherwise we would have missed each other!"

Zou Tang's white hair was so shiny it practically reflected the sunlight.

She was wearing a simple and neat down jacket.

It took Chu Yanyi quite a while to confirm that she was a girl.

"Hello," Chu Yanyi greeted Zou Tang.

Zou Tang also looked curiously at Chu Yanyi standing next to Qiao Bai. The two girls, who had similar styles, looked at each other and felt like they had known each other for a long time. In an instant, they achieved a kind of spiritual resonance... Ugh, ugh, ugh.

We hit it off immediately.

They became good friends instantly.

Qiao Bai, who hadn't noticed anything amiss in their eye contact, was completely bewildered.

Huo Xiaotian, who finally caught up with him while dragging two suitcases, was speechless.

"Aren't you guys bringing a bit too much stuff?" Qiao Bai asked Huo Xiaotian. "Bringing so much stuff... it'll be a lot of trouble once we get inside."

Just moments ago, Huo Xiaotian looked exhausted and was panting. Upon hearing this, a smug expression instantly spread across his face: "You don't understand! My suitcase is full of necessities! You'll see once we're inside!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai did not ask any further questions.

Anyway, the area outside the forbidden zone is not dangerous during this period.

Even though having so much luggage is a bit cumbersome, it won't cause any serious consequences.

The four of them... mainly Huo Xiaotian, Zou Tang, and Chu Yanyi, got to know each other, then packed up and headed to the small gate to level up.

Identity, name, and other information as detailed as possible, and finally, the length of stay.

"Let's stay for a week!" Zou Tang suggested. "The growing season for the Welcoming Grass is still long. We can stay for a week and explore the entire outer area. It's a rare opportunity!"

Huo Xiaotian: "...We didn't have enough time off, did we?!"

"Why don't you send Uncle Huo a message and ask him to tell the teacher?"

Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang are also senior high school students. Normally, they should both have started school, but they attend a private school. The most important thing at school is not classroom courses, but more extracurricular and outdoor activities.

A tour around the outskirts of forbidden lands... could be considered a form of outdoor course.

Qiao Bai listened to their conversation and a look of emotion appeared on his face.
