Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 316 Green Bud Beast Breeding Base

Having decided in his mind how to arrange Song Xuan's tasks, Xu Ran thought of one more thing when looking at the business card in his hand.

Just now, Song Xuan invited him to visit the other party's pet animal breeding base.

And he was actually somewhat interested.

On the one hand, on-site inspections can help you see the specific conditions of pets that need care.

It's all clear at a glance how many small, medium, and large animals there are, and how many pets require more than four stars for care.

on the other hand…

Xu Ran is really curious about the pet animal breeding base.

Counting the time, it has been a while since he broke through to Rank Four.

With the superimposed meditation speed of two meditation accelerator cards, Xu Ran could already feel Rank Five waving towards him from afar.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should not take more than two months for him to break through.

Therefore, it is necessary to consider the choice of the fifth favorite in advance and put it on the agenda.

Although Twelve has not been found yet, and the fourth favorite has not yet been contracted, is this a conflict?

It's not a conflict at all.

For the fifth favorite, Xu Ran currently has only one request.

That is, the attributes of the other four little ones do not overlap.

In this way, you can only choose between the five attributes of water, fire, ice, wind, and light.

As for other requirements and directions, Xu Ran has none.

Looking at the pet animals in the pet animal breeding base may bring him some inspiration.

Thinking of this, Xu Ran quickly made a decision to take the three little ones to have a look during lunch break today.

After informing the three little ones who were training hard in the training area of ​​his decision through the contract induction, Xu Ran quickly walked to the door of the foster care shop and shouted to the long line of customers outside the door.

"Next person."

——

"Cha?" (Did you hear what Xu Ran said? He is taking us to the pet animal breeding base at noon.)

The three little ones who had completed training walked out of the training area almost at the same time. Cancan approached Zi Yun and Xingchen and spoke in a low voice.

"Meow~" (Xu Ran also told me, I think he is probably going to find a fifth partner for us?)

Zi Yun licked his paw calmly, but the occasional flash of nervousness in his eyes gave it away.

No wonder it thinks so. Although the three little ones are not from the pet animal breeding base, everyone knows what the pet animal breeding base does.

"Xi Lv~" (What I'm worried about now is whether Twelve will become the fifth contract.)

Xingchen neighed, with a hint of meaning in his eyes.

Now Xu Ran's fourth contract slot is still vacant, and Twelve has not completed the contract. If he meets a suitable fifth partner, it is very likely that the fifth partner will occupy the fourth contract slot.

In this case, it's hard to say who is the fourth child.

"Cha~" (Probably not, right?)

Cancan scratched his head and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

Zi Yun said nothing, but his eyes towards Cancan were a little weird.

According to the order of priority, the second pet beast Xu Ran got should be Cancan.

It's just that Cancan was still an egg at that time and couldn't make a contract, so Xu Ran's second favorite in the contract was Xingchen.

In a sense, Xingchen's worries may actually become a reality.

The three little ones talked to each other, looking forward to the fifth new partner, but also worrying and missing Twelve who was far away in Beast Domain No. 97.

Soon, they appeared in the store together.

As soon as he arrived at the store, Xu Ran gave a violent shudder and said in a dumbfounded voice, "What are you thinking about? I just went to take a look, and I don't necessarily want to find the fifth pet right away."

"What's more, the fourth contract position is twelve. Even if we find a suitable fifth partner, this decision will not change."

Although he did not hear the communication between the three little ones with his own ears, Xu Ran had clearly felt their thoughts through the contract induction.

"Meow~" (I was wrong~)

Zi Yun embarrassedly touched the place where Xu Ran hit her head just now.

The first person to guess that Xu Ran was looking for his fifth pet was him.

"Xi Lv~" (I'm wrong too.)

Xingchen neighed, also with a bit of embarrassment.

It is speculated that Xu Ran will contract the fifth pet first, and it will be it.

"Okay, this time we are just going to see what the pet animal breeding base looks like and do a field trip. The other party is also our guest." Xu Ran simply told the three little ones about Song Xuan's request, "Anyway, let's see The pet beast is just incidental.”

The three little ones nodded suddenly.

That’s what happened!

The misunderstanding was resolved, Xu Ran picked up Zi Yun and Cancan, turned over and sat on Xingchen's back, and quickly set off from the store.

The Green Ya Pet Beast Breeding Base is not unknown in Minghui City.

After simply asking a few passers-by, Xu Ran quickly found its specific location and arrived quickly following the navigation.

Looking at the large base with the words "Green Bud Pet Beast Breeding Base" written on it and the signboard decorated with green sprout patterns hanging high, Xu Ran nodded slightly.

It looks pretty good.

At the entrance gate of the base, beast masters are constantly entering. Some of them look very young and are accompanied by their parents. Their faces are full of excitement. They are probably reserve beast masters who have not yet contracted a pet beast and are about to contract a first pet.

With so many people entering the base, the business of the Qingya Pet Beast Breeding Base should not be bad.

But Xu Ran shook his head slightly when he saw the situation at the exit gate on the other side of the base.

No one who walked out of the base was accompanied by a pet beast.

When such a situation occurs, there may be some problems in the operation of Qingya Pet Beast Breeding Base.

Xu Ran has no intention of criticizing other people's business. Xu Ran's trip was just to inspect the actual situation of the pet animals in the breeding base.

So after a brief observation, Xu Ran walked to the entrance gate, stood at the back of the queue, and waited in line to enter.

The three little ones restrained their breath one by one, followed closely behind, and looked around curiously.

Obviously this experience is the first time for them.

In front of Xu Ran, a father and son were lined up, and their exchanges quickly attracted Xu Ran's attention.

"Dad, my classmate said that Qingya's pet beasts are a little abnormal. Do we have to come here to choose a pet?"

"Shop around. Qingya is our old pet animal breeding base in Minghui City. Let's take a look first. If it really doesn't work, I'll take you to other pet animal breeding bases and have a look."

"Okay, it's agreed." The boy nodded reluctantly, and it seemed that he didn't have much hope for this trip.

Hearing the words of the two people clearly from behind, Xu Ran touched his chin with a bit of curiosity on his face.

Qingya's pet beast...isn't normal?

What kind of abnormal method is this?

After thinking for a while, he stretched out a hand, patted the boy in front of him on the shoulder, and then asked with a smile, "Little brother, this is my first time here, can you tell me what Qingya's pet beasts are?" What's wrong?"

"That's a lot to talk about." The boy's expression was a bit speechless. "Green Ya's smoke fish can climb trees together, flame heart pigs like to take baths, stone monsters tear down homes every now and then, and small electric bells discharge electricity everywhere. ,besides…"

"Okay! Stop talking." The boy wanted to continue, but his father stopped him and patted the boy's shoulder. The boy's father smiled apologetically at Xu Ran, "Sorry, Tongyanwuji, Qingya It’s not that bad.”

"However, the original manager of Qingya passed away two years ago, and after his granddaughter took over, Qingya did undergo some changes."

Xu Ran nodded slightly, touched his chin, and looked thoughtful.

The Yanbo Fish is a water-type pet.

Yanbo fish climbing trees does sound bizarre.

but…

Xu Ran has a deeper understanding of many pet beasts than ordinary people, and he knows that Yanbo Fish has a rather special characteristic.

They like high places.

The Flame Heart Pig is a fire-type pet beast.

As we all know, fire beasts are naturally averse to contact with water, and are not sensitive to prolonged contact with water such as bathing.

But... Flameheart Pig is different.

Although this race has a body of flesh and blood, its heart is almost elemental, existing in the form of fire.

This gives it an extremely high internal temperature.

This kind of internal temperature radiates to the outside of the body, which will cause the Yanxin Pig's epidermis to be in a state of overheating. This overheating state will not affect its health, but it will cause certain changes in the Yanxin Pig's personality.

In the overheated state, the Flame Heart Pig's strength will be improved to a certain extent, but its character will become more restless and lack of composure.

Many people may think that this is a character flaw of the Flameheart Pig itself, but its overheating state can actually be suppressed through very simple physical cooling techniques.

That's right, taking a shower.

In addition, in Xu Ran's eyes, the abnormal behavior of the stone monster and the little electric bell mentioned by the boy just now also has its own internal logic and necessity.

In other words, these behaviors that may seem abnormal to outsiders are actually normal.

The boy's words not only did not lower Xu Ran's impression of Qingya Base, but made him more curious about the inside.

Does Ms. Song Xuan who came this morning really understand the habits of pet animals so well?

Or is it some other reason?

Xu Ran was not made to wait too long. While he was talking to the father and son in front, the teams in front had already entered the base one after another, and it was his turn.

Entering the base, what you will see is an open space and a road sign in the center of the open space. There is a shelf next to the road sign. There is a guide map on the shelf. You can take it by yourself to learn about the Qingya Pet Animal Breeding Base. internal division.

All of this looks a bit like the zoo in the previous life.

Xu Ran stepped forward and took a guide map, opened it and took a look at it, and quickly confirmed it.

Not similar, almost exactly the same.

Except that the animals in the park have become pet animals, and you can choose to take them away for a fee, the breeding base is almost the same as a zoo.

"Welcome to the Qingya Pet Animal Breeding Base. I hope you can find a partner worthy of lifelong companionship here. I wish you all a happy life!"

A familiar voice reached Xu Ran's ears through the loudspeaker. Xu Ran looked around and soon saw a beautiful figure holding a loudspeaker equipment.

As if aware of Xu Ran's gaze, Song Xuan looked in the direction of Xu Ran, and after seeing Xu Ran clearly, a look of surprise and surprise appeared on her face.

She handed the loudspeaker equipment in her hand to another staff member on the side, and after a few brief explanations, she quickly ran to Xu Ran.

"Boss Xu, why didn't you tell me when you came?"

"Just taking a look, I won't bother you." Xu Ran smiled politely.

"What kind of language are you talking about? Let me show you. I am most familiar with this place." Song Xuan smiled, took the guide map from Xu Ran's hand and put it back on the shelf.

Xu Ran: "…"

"Please go this way." Song Xuan gestured to Xu Ran, and then walked towards the nearest passage, "This is the living area for wind beasts. There are four wind beasts to choose from. A total of 29."

Xu Ran nodded clearly and followed Song Xuan towards the passage.

As soon as they entered the passage, a petite and agile beast rushed towards the two of them quickly, then jumped lightly and landed in Song Xuan's arms.

Only then did Xu Ran see clearly that it was a blue-spotted wind-type cat.

The condition of this green-spotted cat is not good. There are several obvious wounds on its body. Although it is in the process of healing and seems to be receiving good treatment, it has not fully recovered yet.

"The blue-spotted cat is one of the four wind races in your base?" Xu Ran asked casually.

"No." Song Xuan shook her head, "The four wind races in our pet breeding base are Wind-breaking Eagle, Wind God Deer, Cang Jade Dragon and Duyun Yuan. This green-spotted cat only goes there to play occasionally. After all, it's inside The environment is very friendly to the wind element.”

"This poor little guy just came to the base not long ago. I usually take care of it personally." Song Xuan touched its head with pity. "Those four races are very easy to get along with and will not bully it."

"Is that so..." Xu Ran nodded slightly.

He knew all the four races mentioned by Song Xuan.

All four races are naturally Apex Level leaders with four two-star skills. This situation is quite normal in a secondary town.

After listening to Song Xuan's words, he became more interested in the green-spotted cat in Song Xuan's arms, "Does this little guy also need to be cared for?"

"It's not healed yet, I'm not sure if it can..."

"Yes." Xu Ran replied in the affirmative, "Not only that, adding some healing resources to the cleaning process can also speed up its recovery."

"Then let's wash and care together!" Song Xuan said without hesitation.

The blue-spotted cat also understood what the two said, and stuck its head out and meowed "meow" to Xu Ran to express its gratitude.

"So, why is this blue-spotted cat injured?" Xu Ran couldn't help but asked curiously.

From Song Xuan's words, he could deduce that the injury to the blue-spotted cat was definitely not caused by Song Xuan.

"This..." Song Xuan paused for a moment, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, "It's the Fengyun Pet Beast Breeding Base next door."

"I found this blue-spotted cat accidentally at their base."

"...Huh?" Xu Ran blinked, "If you open a breeding base, do you need to buy pets from other breeding bases?"

"That's not the case..." Song Xuan shook her head, "Fengyun Base keeps a group of gale apes. In order to cultivate the wild nature of the gale apes, they sent this green-spotted cat into their living area as a target for the gale apes to bully."

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Ran was a little surprised.

"After all, gale apes are expensive, and blue-spotted cats are cheap." Song Xuan spoke meaningfully, with a hint of disgust and contempt in her eyes.

Hearing this, Xu Ran's expression became a little ugly.

Gale Apes are a race of pet beasts with a relatively aggressive and cruel personality. Although they are social creatures, they are not united. Strong members of the group take pleasure in bullying weak members of the group.

He also understood the meaning of Song Xuan's words.

Gale apes that have been bullied by other members of the same race for a long time will definitely not be sold as pet animals. They will have physical and mental problems.

This is a big loss for the pet animal breeding base.

If you want to avoid this situation, add someone to the Gale Ape group that everyone can bully.

In this way, no Gale Ape will be bullied and unable to sell.

And the blue-spotted cat became this unlucky guy.

"I couldn't stand it, so I bought this green-spotted cat." Song Xuan's eyes became a little darker, "But there must have been a new victim among the group of gale apes."

"Such an approach is indeed excessive." Xu Ran said in a deep voice, "Doesn't the breeding base violate relevant regulations by doing such a thing?"

"The association has not made such a request, and Fengyun Base is private. The person in charge can make the decision on many matters." Song Xuan shook her head slightly and gently touched the green-spotted cat in her arms, "If you don't say this, I Let me take you to see the Wind-breaking Eagle first."

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded helplessly.

If the association can't control it, then he has no qualifications to control it. He can only condemn the other party from a moral level, which doesn't make much sense.

Following Song Xuan, one person and three pets quickly arrived at a steep rock cliff. Although it was an artificially simulated terrain, many details still showed the intention of the decorator.

Under the cliff, there were a few people standing sparsely. They were the beast masters who were preparing to select the Wind-breaking Eagle.

Song Xuan winked at Xu Ran, and then the two quickly blended into the crowd.

Soon, bright cyan eagles spread their wings and cut through the sky, making a sharp sound of breaking wind, and quickly appeared in front of everyone.

The vigorous figure caused everyone to exclaim. Several beastmasters' eyes lit up, and they seemed to have made their favorite choice.

It's just... when these wind-breaking eagles flew close to everyone, they no longer maintained their previous flying posture, but flew like somersaults, turning over and over in the air. It looked like... one by one looking for... A dumb eagle that has no direction.

For a moment, the eyes of the beast masters who were just about to make a choice dimmed. Several bursts of laughter came from the crowd, and they quickly turned and left in disappointment.

There was a hint of helplessness in Song Xuan's smile, "It's like this again."

She was about to turn around to explain the current situation to Xu Ran, but found that Xu Ran did not laugh at the seemingly stupid behavior of these Wind-breaking Eagles, but instead looked quite surprised.

"Boss Xu, what are you doing?"

"Sorry, I was fascinated." Xu Ran smiled, "These wind-breaking eagles are the best I have ever seen. They are really smart."

"Uh..." Song Xuan was silent for a moment, and then said quietly, "Boss Xu, are you really not saying something sarcastic?"

"Irony? Of course not." Xu Ran shook his head without hesitation, "Although the wind-breaking eagles are extremely fast and have the ability to break the wind, such rapid flight will put a certain burden on their own bodies, especially for Fragile ear piercings.”

"Their tumbling and flying movements at the moment..." Xu Ran pointed to the weird flying movements of the Wind Breaking Eagle, "Although it looks a bit strange, it can effectively eliminate the negative effects of the previous fast flight."

"This is an adjustment to their own bodies. It can be understood as them washing themselves in a broad sense." Xu Ran smiled, "Such skills are essential for wild Transcendent creatures."

Many wild Transcendent creatures are unable to take care of themselves and can only watch their condition getting worse and worse. They can only find other ways to improve their condition and develop some similar special behaviors.

Pet animals have better conditions and can receive professional care, but it is difficult to master such skills.

In the past, the wild Transcendent creatures in the Demonic Wood Domain were also rarely mastered, because the Demonic Wood Semi-Saint would regularly prepare Blackwood Dew for them, but unknowingly caused them to lose this need.

"Is...is that so?" Song Xuan was stunned by Xu Ran's statement.

It sounds very reasonable.

"You don't know?" Xu Ran glanced at Song Xuan in surprise, "I thought you taught them these."

"No." Song Xuan shook her head in embarrassment, "I don't have such an in-depth understanding of pet beasts."

"Huh?" Xu Ran raised his eyebrows.

Whether it was what they heard or what they saw with their own eyes, it was proved that there must be experts in this animal breeding base.

Xu Ran originally thought that this person would be Song Xuan, the person in charge of the base, but now it seems that it is not the case, and Song Xuan herself does not know what the situation is.

"Let's go to the next place and have a look." Xu Ran said no more, secretly noted it in his mind, and then motioned to Song Xuan to go to the next place.

"Okay, the next place is the living area of ​​the Fengshen Deer." Song Xuan nodded and continued to lead the way, taking Xu Ran and the three little ones to a vast area of ​​grass and shrubs.

There, the deer-like beasts with strong bodies and brown fur lowered their heads and ate grass quietly.

Different from ordinary deer, the huge horns on their heads are light blue in color and are completely composed of the constantly rotating wind. Only the outline can be vaguely seen.

It was like there were two small tornadoes sticking out of its head.

In the bushes, several guests can sometimes be seen surrounding a wind god deer, seemingly discussing whether to choose them as pet animals.

This tall, fast pet beast can be used as a mount. The two horns on its head are particularly attractive. The main point is that it is very powerful, so it is very popular.

At this moment, a long deer call came from the mouth of the largest of the several Fengshen deer, echoing throughout the entire living area.

Before everyone could react, the Wind God deer, which had been standing quietly grazing on the spot, paying no attention to the observers coming up from all around, suddenly shook their heads and walked towards the first deer like crazy.

Soon, they spontaneously lined up in a single file and twisted their heads neatly, letting their stormy horns sway like the oars of a rowing boat.

Seeing this somewhat neurotic scene, each selector suddenly lost interest in this group of Fengshen Deer.

A wry smile appeared on Song Xuan's face again.

But when she turned around again, she saw Xu Ran showing the same expression as before.

Could it be...

"Mr. Xu, do you know the reason why these Fengshen Deer do this?" Thinking of Xu Ran's analysis just now, Song Xuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"If I guess correctly." Xu Ran paused slightly, "This should be the Wind God Deer increasing the solidity of its horns."

"Among the Fengshen deer group, the degree of solidification of the horns is a key factor in determining the choice of the first deer, and more solid horns can also play a greater role."

"Every time the two horns are damaged, they will become insubstantial again, so they need to be constantly re-solidified to maintain their peak condition."

"That's it." Song Xuan looked astonished.

"Let's... go and see the next race." Xu Ran opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but he refrained from asking and just continued to look at the next place.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that there is an expert behind the Qingya Pet Beast Breeding Base. With a little trick, you can better keep the pets in good condition.

But why does Song Xuan know nothing about this?

"Okay." Song Xuan did not doubt that he was there, and quickly took Xu Ran and the three little ones to the next place.

The two races, Cang Feilong and Du Yunyuan, are in good condition like the previous two races, but they all behave abnormally.

These abnormal behaviors made one beast control master give up choosing them.

But Xu Ran would be severely shocked every time he saw a similar move.

He was also more curious about the master behind Qingya Base.

Finally, after viewing all the wind areas, Xu Ran couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Song, is it true that there are no experts in your base to teach these pet beasts self-care techniques?"

"Self-care skills? No!" Hearing Xu Ran's words, Song Xuan was slightly stunned and kept shaking her head, "Don't talk about such skills, these pet beasts will never be taught anything in my breeding base. "

"I just let them live their own lives."

"Huh? Wait." Xu Ran's eyes narrowed and he seemed to realize the problem, "You let them live on their own?"

The pet animal breeding base is not just about buying pet animals and letting them mate and produce offspring.

From an early age, these pet beasts will be instilled with the concept of beast masters and the relevant rules that pet beasts need to abide by, so as to ensure that they are naturally close to humans, are willing to take the initiative to contract with the beast masters, and can obey the instructions of the beast masters.

This is almost a compulsory course for the pet animals in the breeding base.

But now, Song Xuan says that Qingya's pet beast can't teach these things?

"That's right." Song Xuan nodded naturally, "I don't think pet beasts exist for contracted beast masters, and there is no need to instill those things."

"So I will only provide them with a place to live and the food they need every day. I will leave the life matters to them themselves."

"Although this kind of teaching method makes them behave strangely and cannot be sold..." At this point, Song Xuan's expression turned bitter.

"That's it." Xu Ran looked surprised and surprised.

He seemed to know who the master behind the Qingya Pet Beast Breeding Base was.
