Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 87 The Story of the Little Pony

"Uncle Xu, it seems a little different from other horse beasts?"

Noticing Xu Kun sighing, as if there was some special story in it, Xu Ran pointed to the little black horse that was eating silently and asked.

"There is indeed something different." Xu Kun nodded slightly, "It seems that Boss Xiao Xu has discovered it for a while."

"I saw it halfway." Xu Ran nodded, "It didn't seem to use any skills. Is it training itself in this way?"

"Speaking of..." Xu Ran suddenly thought of something, "According to what Uncle Xu said just now, the horse beast has the skill of 'resilience'. Even if it doesn't use other skills, it shouldn't be so exhausted after running around for a lap, right?"

"Indeed, normal equine pets would not be like this." Xu Kun stepped forward, held down the foal, and gently touched the newly grown mane on the back of its neck, "But if this little guy isn't Where are the Transcendent creatures?”

"Huh?" Xu Ran blinked.

He took a serious look at the little pony in front of him, and then showed a look of surprise.

Because other horses are Transcendent creatures, Xu Ran mistakenly thought that there were no ordinary horses in the base.

The little pony in front of him didn't have any fluctuations in Transcendent's power. He was just an ordinary creature. No wonder his performance was so much worse than his companions just now.

"Uncle Xu, you still have ordinary horses in your base." Xu Ran laughed dumbly, "I almost didn't notice."

"There have never been ordinary horses in the base." Xu Kun shook his head slightly, "The appearance of this little guy was an accident."

"Accident?" Xu Ran became more and more surprised.

What kind of accident could lead to an extra ordinary horse in a base that breeds equine pets?

"It was indeed an accident." Xu Kun nodded slightly and looked at the foal, which was quietly being stroked, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, "It is the child of Chasing the Wind."

"A child chasing the wind?" Xu Ran's voice rose a little higher, and a bit of surprise appeared on his face, "Why are the descendants of Transcendent creatures ordinary creatures?"

"Is its mother an ordinary horse?" Xu Ran guessed.

"No, its mother is also an equine pet." Xu Kun shook his head and pointed at the black unicorn horse not far away that was not approaching but kept looking here, "That is Wuxiao, its mother."

Xu Ran was even more confused.

He knew that it would be more difficult for Transcendent creatures to reproduce than ordinary creatures, but the offspring of two Transcendent creatures were ordinary creatures, which made him a little confused.

"The reproduction of Transcendent creatures has unique rules." Xu Kun said softly, "If different races reproduce, the offspring will inherit the more powerful race of the parents, and no new race will be produced."

"If the strength of both parents is close, the offspring will randomly inherit the race of one of them. In this case, a small probability event may occur."

"That is a race whose descendants do not inherit either."

"That's what it is like." Xu Kun patted the colt's head and stood up, "Although it can't outrun other companions, it has grown up in the atmosphere of the base, and it also has a character that refuses to admit defeat. "

"Even if it is several laps behind its other companions every time, it will try its best and stop only when it reaches exhaustion."

Hearing Xu Kun's words, Xu Ran couldn't help but feel moved on his face.

It turns out that this stubborn little pony has such a bizarre life experience.

He couldn't help but stepped forward and tentatively stretched out his hand.

The foal glanced at him and Zi Yun who was following him, and stood there without fear.

"Isn't it afraid of Transcendent creatures?" Xu Ran asked.

"Although it is not a Transcendent race, it is the offspring of two Transcendent creatures after all. It is physically better than ordinary foals, and is not afraid of the power of Transcendent creatures."

"I see..." Xu Ran put his hand on the foal's mane and stroked it gently, "Does it have a name?"

"Yes, it's called Xingchen." Xu Kun smiled slightly, "It has a little hobby. On nights when there are no dark clouds, it likes to look up at the stars in the sky alone, so I gave it this name."

"It sounds good." Xu Ran nodded seriously.

"Meow~"

Zi Yun approached Xingchen and circled around it curiously.

Perhaps because it was once an ordinary creature, it is better able to understand the insurmountable gap between ordinary creatures and Transcendent creatures, and the more it admires Xingchen's persistence.

It must be very painful for this guy to live with equine pets every day without being able to truly integrate into them.

Thinking of this, Zi Yun couldn't help but reach out her paws and wanted to pat Xingchen on the shoulder and back as a comfort.

"Xilulu!"

Xingchen did not understand Zi Yun's kindness. This unfamiliar contact made him immediately rise from the ground and jump back a few steps, with a look of caution in his eyes.

"Meow?"

Zi Yun retracted her paws that were suspended in the air with some embarrassment, then sat on the ground and scratched her neck with her hind paws to relieve the embarrassment.

"叏lvlv~"

A long, majestic neighing sound came from not far away.

It seemed that Xingchen's exclamation just now attracted Zhui Feng's attention. It came side by side with Xingchen's mother Wuxiao and walked up to Xingchen.

A family of three gathered together and seemed to be discussing something in a low voice. After a while, Zhui Feng lowered his head, put his head on Xingchen's body, and easily pushed it in front of Xu Ran. Then he looked at Xu Ran and made a majestic voice. .

"叏lvlv~"

"Zhui Feng said, I hope to entrust the stars to you." Xu Kun immediately translated Zhui Feng's meaning, and then his expression became slightly weird.

As Zhui Feng's beastmaster, he knew very well that although Zhui Feng usually showed indifference to the child Xingchen, he had been secretly observing its performance.

It cares so much about the stars, but now it wants to entrust them to Boss Xiao Xu?

And Xu Ran also looked surprised.

"Leave it to me?" Xu Ran blinked.

He almost blurted out, "How do you know I have the Awakening Stone?"

But if you think about it carefully, this is probably a coincidence.

Perhaps it was yesterday's care and today's interaction that made Zhui Feng feel that he was a trustworthy person, so he left the young Xing Chen in his care?

"This is what chasing the wind means. If Boss Xiao Xu is willing, you can take Xingchen with you." Xu Kun smiled, "Judging from the situation just now, Boss Xiao Xu still likes the feeling of riding a horse."

"Xingchen has the blood of Chai Feng. When he grows up, he will be much stronger than ordinary horses. He is a good choice."

Hearing Xu Kun's words, Xu Ran turned his head and looked at Xingchen, who was walking towards him step by step under the gaze of his parents.

After hearing about this little guy's life experience, he quite admired this little guy, and the awakening stone in his hand that he had never used happened to be able to turn Xingchen into a Transcendent creature.

However, whether we should do this remains to be seen.

Xingchen raised his head slightly, and his black eyes with a hint of purple were like deep gems, looking at Xu Ran, who was taller than himself.

It possesses the blood of Transcendent and has considerable wisdom. Just now, its father told it that by following the person in front of it, it might be possible to change its own destiny.

I don’t believe in fate and stars.

From the moment it was born, its companions kept telling Xingchen that it was an ordinary creature, different from everyone else, and that this was its destiny.

Because it doesn't believe in fate, it runs so hard, wanting to catch up with its other companions, and wanting to prove that it can close the gap between them.

Although it always fails, it never gives up.

Now, its father, who has always been regarded as an idol, tells it that its fate may be changed, and Xingchen suddenly feels a throbbing in his heart.

It wants to... seize this opportunity!

"叏lvlv~"

The stars suddenly let out a rapid neighing, as if inviting Xu Ran to ride on his back.

"Well, you're still young, so you might not be able to carry it..." Looking at the foal that was shorter than him, Xu Ran subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after meeting Xingchen's firm eyes, he was slightly moved, "Then I Try it.”

He carefully rode on Xingchen's back.

Xingchen's back was not very broad, and was even weaker than its father, but it carried Xu Ran's body steadily without any trembling.

One step...two steps...

After Xu Ran sat firmly, Xingchen began to walk forward step by step, and then gradually accelerated and started running.

Xu Ran, who was sitting behind Xingchen, could clearly feel its difficulty. After all, this was still a young pony, but Xingchen kept persevering, and his weight-bearing body was always trying to stabilize.

"Meow~"

Zi Yun slowly sat up straight, looked at the stars that were struggling to carry his beast master away, and nodded his head slightly with a hint of recognition.

Although this guy was avoiding it just now, it was so magnanimous that it decided to forgive this guy.

If the beast master decides to take it away, then he will not object!

Xingchen carried Xu Ran faster and faster, circled the empty field in front of him, and finally came back to where he was and stopped.

After Xu Ran came down, it held its head high, like a child trying to get praise after performing well.

"Boss Xiao Xu, what do you think?" Xu Kun said with a smile.

"Well..." Xu Ran turned his head and glanced at Zi Yun. After understanding Zi Yun's thoughts from each other's eyes, he nodded slowly, "In that case, I will take Xingchen back. Thank you Uncle Xu."

"It's just a little pony, you're welcome." Xu Kun's smile became even wider.

"叏lvlv~"

Seeing that Xingchen was recognized by Xu Ran, Zhui Feng's eyes flashed with joy.

Although he didn't tell the beast master, Zhui Feng's perception was very keen, and he knew very well that his ability to win the championship today was closely related to yesterday's care.

Just washing and caring can bring such magical effects. The human being in front of you is not simple.

Perhaps due to the sixth sense, Zhui Feng felt that entrusting his child's future to the person in front of him would be the most correct choice, just like it chose Xu Kun, the beast master.

"Congratulations to Boss Xiao Xu for winning his beloved horse!" Xu Kun patted Xu Ran on the shoulder, "Let's have lunch here before leaving! Try my craftsmanship."

"Then I'm welcome." Xu Ran smiled and nodded.

——

"Xingchen, please call this place your home from now on."

Leading Xingchen into her foster care shop, Xu Ran smiled and spoke.

"叏lvlv~"

Xingchen looked around, his eyes flashing with anticipation for a new life.

"Meow~" (Welcome home!)

Zi Yun circled around the stars as a welcome ceremony for the new members, then jumped up to his own place on the counter and lay down.

On the way here, Xingchen gradually became familiar with Zi Yun, and it no longer had the frightened resistance it had before. Now it hissed at Zi Yun in a friendly manner, and then waited for Xu Ran to settle for him.

"Let me think about it... take a rest here first, and you can live in the foster care area tonight." After thinking for a moment, Xu Ran quickly came up with an idea.

At this moment, the system is still being upgraded, and Xingchen will be considered a new resident when entering it, so it cannot enter yet.

When the system upgrade is completed in the evening, it will be ready for occupancy.

Although the foster care area is still a bit small compared to Uncle Xu's horse farm, it is more than enough for Xingchen to run around every day, and there are other residents there, so Xingchen will not be alone.

After deciding how to arrange the stars, there was only one last thing left.

Let the stars awaken as Transcendent creatures.

"Star, close your eyes."

Xu Ran silently took out the awakening stone and placed it between the eyebrows of Xingchen who had closed his eyes obediently. He added "I wish you good luck" just like when he awakened Zi Yun before, and then let go and stood aside.

"Xilu~"

Xingchen's body trembled slightly.

The awakening stone attached to its eyebrows did not fall even if Xu Ran let go. Instead, it hovered in the air and gradually blended into its eyebrows.

As the Awakening Stone was completely integrated, colorful light emerged from the inside of Xingchen's body, wrapping its body layer by layer.

Seeing the scene of awakening again, Xu Ran's face became a little more enlightened.

Because he used the Insight Mirror to select beast eggs before, he was already familiar with the colors represented by different attributes.

If you carefully distinguish it, you can find that the light emitted by the awakening at this moment is exactly ten different colors intertwined, corresponding to ten different attributes.

While Xu Ran was observing, the ten colors changed into nine, and the cyan corresponding to the wind element quietly disappeared.

Next, there is the red color corresponding to the fire element.

According to the previous experience of Zi Yun's awakening, the disappearing color means that the corresponding attributes are not suitable for the stars.

The color left until the end will become the final attributes of the stars.

"Meow~" (Is this how I woke up in the first place?)

Zi Yun, lying on the counter, watched this scene with interest.

Viewing this scene from the perspective of a bystander is completely different from viewing this scene from the perspective of a witness.

Looking at the stars whose body was wrapped in colorful light, Zi Yun's eyes were rare and a little absent-minded.

How did you feel when you first woke up?

If I remember correctly, it seemed like a dream.

In the dream, all kinds of things that it once feared came to mind one after another, and finally it saw a bolt of thunder falling from the sky.

Thunder and lightning were the power that Zi Yun feared the most when he was a stray cat. He once saw another stray cat wandering with him die from a lightning strike, and he had a deep psychological shadow from then on.

Perhaps what it feared the most was also what it longed for deep down, so it finally awakened the thunder element and took control of this power in its own hands.

So, what will the awakening of the stars look like?
