Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 318 The first resident in the foster care area

"The feathers at the end of the Thunder Owl's wings are made of thunder elements, so that the feathers in energy form can be automatically repaired after wear and tear, and allow them to fly faster."

"But its disadvantages are also obvious. The feathers in the energy state cannot clearly sense the wind direction. This lack of subtle perception makes Yuanlei Xiaokong have speed but lacks the flexibility of flight."

"The reason why the Yuan Lei Xiao in the base has to keep turning during flight is to exercise his flight flexibility and make up for his own shortcomings."

"I understand." Song Xuan quickly recorded Xu Ran's explanation with a pen. After a moment, she smiled with relief, "I have finished reading the last race."

"Yeah." Xu Ran nodded.

After finally checking all the beasts in the Qingya Pet Beast Breeding Base, Xu Ran had a preliminary estimate of the situation of the more than one hundred pet beasts that needed to be cared for.

Thanks to Song Xuan's unique free-range breeding method, these pet beasts have figured out many life tips that can help them maintain their condition.

Although they have not received care before, they are all in good condition, and only a few of them require more than four stars of care.

In this way, the workload of washing and caring will be reduced accordingly.

"Those pet beasts I ordered before, you will bring them to my foster care shop in the next two days to wash and care for them." Xu Ran warned, "I will make time for the remaining ones to be washed and cared for all at once." Protect.”

With four stars or above, the need for cleaning and care is relatively urgent, and the quantity is not large. Cleaning and caring in advance will not delay the promotion of popularity. Xu Ran has already pointed out this during the inspection just now.

"No problem." Song Xuan nodded without hesitation, raised the notes in his hand, and showed a grateful look, "Thank you also for the knowledge you told me today. I believe that with this, everyone will have a better understanding of the pet beasts in the base. The impression will be greatly improved.”

"I just hope that these outstanding pet beasts can find suitable masters as soon as possible." Xu Ran paused slightly, turned to look at the little guy who was following closely behind him, covered with flame-colored hair, " Besides, you’ve already given me a thank you gift.”

After leaving the fire-tailed bear living area, No. 6, who had decided to follow Xu Ran, joined the visiting team, following closely behind Xu Ran like the three little ones.

It was a little unfamiliar with Cancan and Zi Yun at first, but this unfamiliar feeling quickly dissipated as the three little ones communicated with it word by word.

It can be considered as initially integrated into it.

"No. 6 is also lucky to be able to follow you." Song Xuan smiled and suddenly reminded, "But Boss Xu, No. 6 is just its code name. Take it back and you can give it a better one." name."

"Don't worry." Xu Ran nodded seriously, "My naming skills are very good."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yun, who was whispering to the other three little ones, suddenly became a little weird.

I don’t know how the guy who almost named it “Dian Mu” thought he was good at naming it...

"It's getting late, I have to open business in the afternoon, so I'll leave first." Feeling Zi Yun's slight dislike behind him, Xu Ran laughed and quickly said goodbye to Song Xuan.

"Stars!"

"唏伦~" (Yes!)

Xingchen neighed, and his body that had shrunk in order to better communicate with Six quickly lifted up a few points.

It raised its front hooves and took two steps forward, approaching Xu Ran, ready to be ridden.

"Luhou?" (This is?)

Looking at the movement of the stars, No. 6 couldn't help blinking his eyes.

It is not surprised that the stars can grow bigger, because the other party has shrunk before its eyes before.

But having just integrated into one person and three pets, it is still a little confused about what to do next.

"Cha~" (We are going home!)

Cancan, who was familiar with him, was the second one to get acquainted with No. 6. At this moment, he stretched out a paw and patted No. 6 on the shoulder, and spoke excitedly.

go home?

No. 6 was stunned for a moment, and then there was strong expectation in his eyes.

For it, which was born in Qingya Base and has never left here, its former home is undoubtedly the area where the Fire-tailed Bear lives.

But there, it didn't feel much of the warmth of home. Instead, because it was different, it could feel the alienation from its companions since it was a child.

The new home will definitely be different, right?

It thought silently, and an outstretched hand appeared in front of its eyes.

"Come."

While No. 6 was in a daze, Xu Ran had skillfully turned over and sat on Xingchen's generous back. Zi Yun and Cancan also climbed up on their own familiarly. At this moment, he bent down slightly and stretched out his hand to No. 6. hand.

"Luhou~" Looking at Xu Ran's close eyes, No. 6 subconsciously put a paw on Xu Ran's body.

The next moment, it only felt a huge force coming from Xu Ran's hand. Before it could recover, it had already risen from the ground and landed on the back of the stars in front of Xu Ran.

"Luhou?!"

After realizing it, No. 6 let out an exclamation, subconsciously looking left and right.

"Let's go!" Looking at No. 6's dazed look, Xu Ran laughed and clamped his legs slightly hard on Xingchen's abdomen.

Accompanied by a clear neighing sound from Xingchen, the figure of one person and four pets quickly disappeared in front of the Qingya Base.

——

"Luhou!"

After being gently picked up by Xu Ran from Xingchen's back and placed in the Star Fire Pet Store, No. 6 gradually recovered from the excitement of speeding just now. It raised a pair of front paws and excitedly He shouted loudly and began to look at his surroundings.

On the way here and in the process of communicating with the three little ones before, it already had a certain understanding of the beast master who took it away.

This man's name is Xu Ran. He runs a foster care shop and earns resources for advancement by serving the pets of other beast masters and working hard for Zi Yun, Xingchen and Cancan.

Is this Xu Ran's foster care shop?

Number Six walked around the store curiously.

Although it has never left the base, it often hears about various things in the human world and is no stranger to foster care shops.

I heard that the foster care shop has a grooming service that can keep the pets in peak condition at all times, but I don’t know if this is true.

No. 6's footsteps finally stopped in front of the door of the bathroom.

"Want to give it a try?" Xu Ran's voice appeared behind it, "The feeling of washing and caring is very good, isn't it?"

Looking back at Xu Ran with a smile on his face, No. 6's eyes flashed with confusion.

As a fire pet beast, like other fire pet beasts, it does not like water. Although it has never been washed before, it still instinctively resists it.

But thinking that it had just been picked up by Xu Ran, it gritted its teeth and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, my bathing will not make you feel uncomfortable." As if he guessed what No. 6 was thinking from the subtle changes in its eyes, Xu Ran smiled and touched its head, and then walked into the bathing room. room, "come with me."

"Luhou!"

No. 6 responded and followed Xu Ran into the nursing room.

Even the three little ones couldn't help but join in and watch the show.

"Come here." Xu Ran pointed to the washing table prepared for small pets, motioned No. 6 to lie on the washing table, then turned around and began to prepare for its washing.

No. 6 looked at everything in the bathroom curiously, then climbed onto the bathroom table and lay down obediently.

Looking at the light on the top of the bathroom, its eyes were a little more nervous about the unknown, but this nervousness was relieved a lot after seeing the three heads that quickly came up to it.

"Xilu~" (It's very comfortable to wash and wash, don't worry.)

Xingchen neighed and comforted.

"Cha~" (That's right.)

Cancan nodded heavily in agreement, looking at the smaller No. 6, and couldn't help but feel a bit of envy in his eyes.

Being big has its advantages, but there is one thing that makes it very distressing.

Compared with Zi Yun and Xingchen, Xu Ran washes and cares for it significantly less frequently. It's not that it's treated differently, but it's more difficult to care for it.

Fortunately, Cancan's condition will not be worse than Zi Yun and Xingchen.

Because when Xu Ran washes and cares for it, he will add some special resources to the bath to maintain the care effect for a longer period of time.

"Meow~" (You will know how comfortable washing is later.)

Zi Yun licked her paws, comforting her, and lost in thought.

It seems that I haven’t taken care of myself for a while.

I have decided to let Xu Ran wash and care for myself in two days!

In the comforting words of the three little ones, No. 6's nervousness quickly dissipated, replaced by more intense expectations.

"You three give way."

Xu Ran's voice sounded at the right time.

He has completed the preparations before washing, and will start washing No. 6 next.

The three little ones quickly left the washbasin area, leaving the place to Xu Ran, and then looked around curiously.

As they watched, Xu Ran sprayed the bath liquid with the shower head and began to evenly wet No. 6's fine, flame-colored hair.

The moment the bath liquid touched his body, No. 6 instinctively felt a bit of resistance, but after he truly felt the feeling of the bath liquid touching his hair and skin, the resistance disappeared.

For fire-type pets, touching water feels like a person encountering static electricity. They will feel a slight tingling at the contact area, resulting in strong discomfort.

When No. 6 was a child, it had a similar experience, and it still remembers it.

But when it was fully mentally prepared, it found that there was no similar feeling when the bath liquid touched the body. Instead, it was the warmth of the warm bath liquid.

This warm water seeps in along the gaps in its hair, and then flows close to the skin under the hair. The nourishing resources incorporated in it slowly seep into the body, causing the fire power in No. 6's body to change accordingly. Got to be more active.

A feeling of relaxation and joy suddenly appeared in No. 6's heart.

Its big red eyes narrowed quietly, its face was full of satisfaction, and it couldn't help but make a "snoring" sound in its throat.

Unexpectedly, washing and caring can be such a comfortable experience.

It loves to be cared for!

"Don't worry, more comfortable things are yet to come!" Looking at No. 6's happy little appearance, Xu Ran said with a smile, then gently poured shampoo on him and began to gently rub No. 6's hair with his fingertips. deep enough to allow the shampoo to fully penetrate into it.

Waves of strange feelings, like tiny electric currents passing through, made No. 6's expression more and more comfortable.

Soon, its slightly weird sound came from the bathroom.

"Luhou~~~"

——

For Xu Ran today, it would not take more than twenty minutes to wash and care for a small pet animal.

However, Xu Ran gave it a special reason for taking special care of No. 6.

Half an hour later, No. 6 walked out of the nursing room, following Xu Ran and the three little ones.

Its condition looks very different from when it was entered.

The flame-colored hair no longer had the roughness of the past, and felt like smooth satin, shining with a strange luster under the light.

What's even more eye-catching are No. 6's ears.

Before, No. 6's ears needed to be scratched with its claws to ignite the flames, but now it doesn't require any action, and the ears are already covered in sticky and deep flames.

During the cleaning and care process, Xu Ran found that No. 6’s ears were very dirty, so he performed targeted care. He did not expect such an effect.

Probably, this is the original state of the fire-eared bear.

But Xu Ran didn't care about No. 6's special ears at the moment.

He stared at the system panel that only he could see, looking thoughtful.

When cleaning No. 6, he habitually uses Hair Removal.

The result he got surprised him.

[★★Eternal Flame] (not teachable)

This is a skill he acquired from Number Six.

Xu Ran is no stranger to fire-tailed bears.

They have a one-star skill, Eyes of Fire.

Eyes of Fire is a skill that enhances vision. It allows fire beasts to see subtle changes during combat and increase combat efficiency. Xu Ran has seen this skill before when facing Su Xiaoxiao's Inferno Fox.

There are quite a few fire beasts that have it.

The fire-tailed bear's four two-star skills are rare and excellent in the fire system.

It means to ward off fire, set fire to the sky, flaming body, and blazing flames.

Fire Protection is a passive skill that does not need to be actively triggered. It can greatly reduce the fire-type damage the Fire-tailed Bear receives, giving the Fire-tailed Bear a great advantage when facing other fire-type pets.

Sky-Breaking Strike is a long-range output skill recognized as one of the most powerful among the two Star Fire skills.

Flame Body covers the whole body with flames, greatly increasing the strength. At the same time, opponents who come into contact with itself will be severely damaged by the flames. It is the first fire melee skill.

The intention of the flames is a fire-based amplification skill, which can increase the power of all fire-based skills.

Damage-free, long-range, melee, and amplification.

The extremely comprehensive skill set is the reason why the Fire-tailed Bear is so popular.

But the problem is that Xu Ran is very sure that the fire-tailed bear does not have the skill of immortal burning, and he has never even heard of this skill.

So, this is No. 6’s new skill after mutation?

For a moment, Xu Ran was curious about No. 6's innate skills.

But before getting to know Six's other abilities, there's something more important to do.

"No. 6, do you want a name?" Xu Ran squatted down, looked directly at No. 6, and spoke softly, "If you want, can I choose one for you?"

"Luhou?"

name?

After listening to Xu Ran's words, No. 6 thought seriously.

Since he was a child, he has been called "No. 6" by Song Xuan. This name has been with him to this day, and No. 6 has become very familiar with it.

But it also knows that No. 6 is not its name, just a code name.

This codename is not unique to it.

Among the other races in the Qingya Pet Beast Breeding Base, the codename "No. 6" also exists.

After leaving Qingya Base and the group that made him unhappy, he felt the closeness of Xu Ran and the three little ones again, and enjoyed the care he had never enjoyed before. At this moment, No. 6 felt a strong sense of happiness in his heart. Full of feelings.

It wants to say goodbye to the past and the code name "No. 6".

Thinking of this, No. 6 nodded sharply.

It wants a name!

"In that case..." Xu Ran touched his chin, looking thoughtful, "You are of the fire element, I think there can be a word related to 'fire' in your name."

"Luho!" No. 6 nodded seriously, his eyes full of approval.

This way, you can tell that it is a fire pet beast, which is great!

It is already looking forward to the new name Xu Ran gave it.

On the other side, Zi Yun's expression suddenly became a little strange.

This scene... seems familiar!

When Xu Ran almost named it "Dian Mu", wasn't it based on its attributes?

For a moment, Zi Yun cast a sympathetic look at No. 6.

Don’t have any expectations for Xu Ran’s naming skills!

"You are a little male bear, so you have to pay attention to your gender when choosing a name." Xu Ran touched his chin and continued to speak.

Number Six continued to nod in agreement.

There are naturally differences in the names of different genders.

Xu Ran is so right!

The sense of anticipation in its heart became even stronger.

Zi Yun on the side had already started shouting in his heart.

Don't expect it!

Don't expect it! ! !

"So how about I call you Firefly?"

…Eh?

Zi Yun's expression froze slightly, and a big question mark popped up in his head.

Why? !

Why is it that with the same idea of ​​naming, I am Mother of Lightning, but it is Firefly?

What about the name you agreed on? How did you learn to name secretly behind my back? !

On the other side, completely unaware of Zi Yun's psychological activities, No. 6... no, Yinghuo expressed strong satisfaction with its new name.

It raised a pair of paws and waved them excitedly.

"Luhou!"

I have a new name!

From now on, it is the firefly!

"Let's go and see where you will live next." Xu Ran patted Zi Yun's head with a smile and said softly to Yinghuo.

He clearly felt Zi Yun's violent mood swings, and he already had a rough idea of ​​what Zi Yun was thinking.

Are you kidding? He, Xu Ran, is named Fei?

It must be impossible!

address?

Yinghuo, who had just received a name, nodded in surprise.

Before it even thought about where to live, Xu Ran had already started to prepare for it, and a warm feeling came to her heart for a while.

After leaving with Xu Ran, every minute and every second I felt was unprecedented. Sure enough, its choice was correct.

"Come on, this way." Xu Ran smiled and led Yinghuo to the foster care area.

Behind them, there were three little ones.

Xingchen glanced at Zi Yun, who suddenly became depressed for some reason, and quietly tapped him with his hoof.

"Xi Lv?" (What's wrong?)

Zi Yun opened her mouth and suddenly remembered that when Xu Ran named herself, she had not yet met the stars.

In order to prevent this dark history that only he and Xu Ran knew from becoming his nickname, Zi Yun shook his head violently.

Don't say it!

Seeing that Zi Yun was unwilling to say anything, Xingchen had no choice but to shake his head.

One person and four pets soon arrived at the empty foster care area.

Counting the time, Star Fire Pet Store has been open in Minghui City for two or three days, but the foster care business is still blank.

The huge foster care area is still a desert.

"Luhou?"

Do I live here?

Yinghuo blinked and couldn't help but murmured softly.

Nature is a good thing in your living space.

But is this a little too big?

And there isn’t even a stone in it. Isn’t it too monotonous?

"Of course not." Xu Ran took out the control center, "Open your eyes wide and let me do a magic trick for you."

Before he could ask what the magic was, Yinghuo noticed something moving somewhere nearby and quickly turned his head to look. The next moment, his eyes widened rapidly.

A volcano spewing magma rose up from the ground. Countless magma sprayed in all directions, quickly condensing into countless strangely shaped magma rocks at an incredibly fast speed.

The countless caves they formed are the favorite places for the fire-tailed bears to live.

Although Yinghuo has undergone changes, these preferences have not changed.

She rushed in excitedly and looked at various lava rock facilities for entertainment such as slides and swings. Ying Huo's joy was even more obvious, and she soon had a lot of fun.

Soon, Yinghuo noticed Xu Ran who was looking at him with a smile. Yinghuo stopped playing, quickly ran to Xu Ran's side and hugged his legs to express her gratitude.

happy!

"As long as you like it." Xu Ran slowly knelt down and said, "Well, Yinghuo, can you show me your skills?"

Upon hearing Xu Ran's inquiry, the three little ones looked at each other and quickly became interested.

They also want to see what is unusual about Yingfeng as a mutant race.

"Luhou!"

no problem!

Although a little surprised, Yinghuo agreed to Xu Ran's request without hesitation.

It looked around and quickly walked to an open space that was a little more open and could be used to show off its skills.

After brewing for a while, Yinghuo quickly raised his claws to cover his eyes, and then his claws ignited flames.

When the flame-covered claws left its eyes, its red eyes really started to burn. The blazing fire was extremely sharp, making its aura suddenly become stronger.

One-star skill, star-dust level·Eye of Fire!

Compared to the Eye of Fire that Inferno Fox used back then, the way Firefly used it now is a little different, but the effect is the same.

It seems that the one-star skills have not changed after the firefly mutation.

Xu Ran nodded slightly and signaled Yinghuo to start performing the next skill.

"Luhou!!!"

Yinghuo suddenly let out a ferocious roar, and the flames covering its ears instantly spread towards its head and body, and finally covered its limbs. A powerful aura was wrapped in the sweeping heat wave, and it moved towards one person and three pets. Coming at you.

Two-star skill, star crumb level, flame body!

After the skill was cast, Yinghuo quickly swung her claws at a large stone not far away. The next moment, the stone shattered with a sound. Countless gravels were covered with continuous burning flames, and the scene was ferocious.

Zi Yun on the side narrowed his eyes slightly.

It’s quite powerful!

If this little brother really makes a contract with Xu Ran, he might be able to receive his slap in the face in the future.

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction.

2. Which of the Star Fire-type long-range output skills is the strongest? There are still debates among beastmasters, but when it comes to the strongest melee output skills, everyone has a common answer.

That is the Flame Body.

The fire-type pet that uses this skill can even fight in close combat with the fighting-type pet that is best at melee combat without falling behind, which shows its tyranny.

Fortunately, among Firefly's skills, this one belonging to the Fire-tailed Bear is still retained.

After displaying the flame body, Firefly's display did not end.

The flames around it were extinguished, and when it reappeared, it roared excitedly, raised a pair of bear paws high, like holding up the sky, and then turned its palms and slapped the ground heavily.

"Bear!!!"

Accompanied by a very oppressive roar, in the open space in front of Yinghuo, two blazing flames intertwined and rushed towards the sky, turning the sky red in a large area.

"This is..." Xu Ran looked at the intertwining firelight in the sky, his eyes quickly lit up, "Liao Tian Wu?"

2. Star Fire skill, Sky Dance.

Not only does it have a similar name to Sky Strike, but the casting action is almost the same.

The difference is that the Liaotian Strike releases one flame, while the Liaotian Dance releases two weaker flames, but the overall power is stronger when intertwined.

There is no doubt that the Sky-Scorching Strike that the mutated Yinghuo was supposed to master has been transformed into the Sky-Sky Dance, which is a wave of strengthening.

"Continue!" Xu Ran had a look of strong anticipation in his eyes. He wanted to see what other skills Yinghuo could show next.

"Luhou!"

Yinghuo nodded heavily, and then slowly raised his paw.

A ball of flame appeared in its claws, burning brightly.

Different from ordinary flames, the color of this flame is not red, but a very deep brick red, which looks somewhat similar to the color of the flames on the fireflies' ears.

Taking a deep breath, Yinghuo threw out the brick-red flame.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of one person and three pets, the brick-red flames that had just landed on the ground spread at an extremely fast speed and evenly adhered to every part of the magma rock.

Slowly, the magma rock was remelted by the terrifying high temperature and turned into magma flowing on the earth. However, the brick-red flame continued to burn on the magma tenaciously, as if it would never go out.

"Is this the eternal flame?" Looking at the flames that were spreading crazily, as if they were about to light up the entire foster care area, Xu Ran was about to take action to suppress it, but found that all the brick-red flames were suddenly extinguished.

All the power of Yinghuo was exhausted at this moment.

That eternal flame burns nothing but the power of the firefly itself.

Every inch it spreads will absorb the power of the fireflies accordingly.

The power never goes out, the flame never goes out.

"Xingchen, help it recover." Xu Ran spoke without hesitation.

Looking at the chain of fate floating in the void, one person and three pets thought of a question at the same time.

What would happen if... the stars were allowed to hold the firefly with a chain of fate, giving it almost unlimited power?

No, it shouldn't be endless.

With such consumption, it would be difficult for Xingchen's recovery speed to keep up, right?

"Luhou~"

Feeling the rapid recovery of its own power, Yinghuo's eyes were full of surprise, but it did not forget to introduce its last two-star skill.

This time, it was not shown directly, but gestured with movements.

After some communication, Xu Ran finally determined that Yinghuo's last skill was to ward off fire.

Fire eyes, flaming body, blazing sky dance, immortal burning flames, and fire-proofing.

Xu Ran's eyes looking at Yinghuo became brighter and brighter, and he stretched out his hand towards Yinghuo.

"From now on, this will be your home."
