Unorthodox beast control

Chapter 320 The Doubtful Nightmare Beast King

"Huh?" (So, that human beastmaster claims to have mastered a velvet bird evolution path that is more powerful than the Nightmare Kite?)

Although the twelve words that were forced to tell the situation were full of ambiguities, the Nightmare Beast King, who was almost as intelligent as a demon, distilled the most critical information in an instant.

The first thoughts that came to its mind were absurd and unbelievable.

As the current de facto controller of Beast Domain No. 97, the Nightmare Beast King not only operates in his own Beast Domain, he has also traveled to other nearby Beast King-level beast domains, and even to nearby Beast Emperor-level beast domains.

And it travels just to find the evolutionary route of the velvet finch.

For wild extraordinary creatures, especially extraordinary creatures with outstanding intelligence, exchanging the evolutionary routes they have mastered with other races of the same beast domain is a very effective way to improve their own evolutionary routes.

If it encounters a group of velvet sparrows that have also evolved into Nightmare Kite, it can compare the differences in the evolutionary routes of the two groups and further optimize the evolutionary route of its own race.

It would be a great joy to encounter a velvet finch group with different evolutionary types. This would give the group more evolutionary choices and create more possibilities.

After traveling around the beast realm and making many comparisons, the Nightmare Beast King finally came to the conclusion that, for now, the Nightmare Kite is still the strongest evolved form of the Velvet Bird family.

In this case, her daughter suddenly told it that there was a stronger evolutionary route, and the source of the news was actually just a human kid living in a third-level town. How could it believe it?

"Hey~" (I think you were deceived by that human being.)

The Nightmare Beast King spoke in a deep voice, and his originally good impression of Xu Ran suddenly changed at this moment.

And such whispers will not appear in the evolution of pet beasts.

Looking at his daughter's still stubborn gaze, the Nightmare Beast King composed himself.

Therefore, it is not very convincing to prove that the other party has a more powerful evolutionary form of Velvet Bird.

Relying on these evolutionary routes, powerful beastmasters appeared frequently in the secondary towns.

Seeing that his father was still full of disbelief, Twelve's stubborn temper suddenly rose.

Although there are no restrictions or rules, the idea of ​​​​burying this secret in their hearts and never letting other creatures know it was like a steel stamp on their minds when they first heard this chaotic whisper. .

If he has a way to get in touch with the secondary town, he may not be able to do it.

The Nightmare Beast King's breakthrough failed, but its luck was surprisingly good. The secret it captured happened to be closely related to the nature of evolution.

This is the biggest secret hidden behind wild extraordinary creatures.

Although it failed in the end, it still captured some whispers in the process of impacting that new level of life.

This is relatively rare among third-level towns.

"Hey~" (Is there any more specific content about the evolutionary route that human boy gave you?)

"Hey~" (He is a human boy from a third-level town, and he probably knows only a little about evolution. How can he master such an evolutionary route?)

"Huh?" (Are you talking about his three pet beasts?)

Hearing this, the Nightmare Beast King was slightly stunned.

Xu Ran was able to successfully evolve three pet beasts, which was considered special in Beast Domain No. 97, but it was nothing more than that in a secondary town.

The Nightmare Beast King looked at Twelve's stubborn eyes and sighed in his heart.

The Nightmare Beast King, who wanted to find and complete the evolutionary path for the Velvet Bird family, also did not miss the evolutionary path that humans have mastered.

Could it be that this human being really masters some evolutionary routes, including the Velvet Finch?

At this moment, the Nightmare Beast King's original suspicion was slightly shaken.

By ambushing human beast masters and searching their memories using superpower methods, it can basically confirm that humans currently have no grasp of the Velvet Bird's evolutionary path.

"Chirp!" (Xu Ran is not a liar!)

This gives it a profound understanding of evolution.

This evolutionary route, in its view, is so absurd.

The daughter is searching for resources, which means that the human being at least gave it some information.

There are more powerful beast masters there, and there are also some things that are not available in the third-level towns.

As Twelve finished speaking, the audience fell into an eerie silence.

It knew that compared to the weak human cities like No. 97 Beast Territory, where the beast king could bring about destruction with his attack, the second-tier city was almost unshakable.

During every evolution process, they will capture strange whispers. These whispers are full of messy and huge messages, related to the ultimate secret of the evolution of life.

That is part of the evolution route of pet beasts that humans have mastered through generations of attempts.

Twelve, who was still vague at first and didn't want his father to know the exact situation, became dissatisfied for a moment after hearing his words.

"Chirp!" (But Ziyun, Xingchen and Cancan all successfully evolved according to the evolution route he gave!)

Now that my father has guessed the truth, let him know that the beast master he chose is no ordinary one!

"Chirp!" (This evolutionary route is...)

Without much hesitation, Twelve told the evolution route of the velvet bird into the deep sleeper bird in one breath.

After Twelve's reminder, it also had a vague impression that when it saw the other party before, the other's three pet beasts had indeed completed evolution.

It wants to determine the authenticity of this evolutionary route, so that its daughter will give up completely.

As long as Twelve can tell more specific information, it can easily find contradictions and errors in the evolutionary route, thus proving that this is just something that the human boy made casually.

Even if there is one, it is an extremely rough and weak evolutionary path.

But soon, it seemed to have thought of something, and it shook its head again.

As long as you are lucky enough to capture a secret about your own race, you will have a chance to soar into the sky.

Because it once tried to attack the emperor race.

The expression of the Nightmare Beast King showed obvious changes for the first time.

"唳~" (They may be a race of pet beasts that humans have mastered the evolutionary route, but the velvet sparrows are not.)

The Nightmare Beast King, who has traveled to the Beast Emperor-level beast realm, has seen what a second-level town looks like.

This may be difficult for other wild extraordinary creatures, but it is not difficult for the Nightmare Beast King.

Letting the dominant race upgrade all their skills to three stars before evolving is simply a fantasy.

According to the knowledge it learned from the mysterious murmur, only the Holy Spirit race can upgrade four-star skills to five-star skills.

And that's not a pure star promotion, but integrating all the talents and skills into the life wheel. The essence is different.

Skill star upgrade is a feature of evolution. How can it be completed before evolution?

But just when the Nightmare Beast King wanted to refute this evolutionary route and tell his daughter that there was definitely something wrong with this evolutionary route, it fell silent again.

Because except for this point, this evolutionary route has no faults in any aspect, and it can even be said that it is so perfect that it is amazing.

Whether it is the combination of evolutionary materials or the setting of the evolutionary ritual, there is an impeccable feeling.

This made him feel a little dazed for a moment, and he had a feeling in his heart that if he could really evolve according to this evolutionary route, the evolutionary type called Sleeping Bird would be extraordinary.

It took a deep look at Twelve, who had a somewhat proud look in his eyes, and then slowly spoke.

"Huh?" (How to upgrade talent skills to three stars before evolving?)

"Chirp" (Xu Ran has a way!)

The proud look in Twelve's eyes became a little more intense.

Xu Ran was able to do things that his father didn't even know about. Facts have proved that Xu Ran is still awesome!

Is there anything the human kid can do?

The Nightmare Beast King's eyes flashed.

Its first reaction was naturally disbelief.

But after Twelve came up with the evolutionary route of the Sleeping Bird, its attitude toward Xu Ran also quietly changed.

The other party doesn't seem to be simple.

In this case, maybe he really has such a method?

With a thought in his mind, the Nightmare Beast King flapped his wings, hugged the twelve small bodies, and soared into the sky.

Twelve spoke in shock.

"Chirp?" (Where are we going?)

The Nightmare Beast King looked at the end of his field of vision, a city so small that only a dot remained.

"唳~" (Qingzhou City.)——

"It's right here, right!"

On the city wall of Qingzhou City, Gu Wu directed the staff of the Beast Masters Association to complete the construction of the last part of the city wall's defenses.

Looking at the towering city walls that were much more powerful than before, Gu Wu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little more secure in his heart.

More than twenty days have passed since the Lava Beast King attacked the city, but until now, the feeling of powerlessness still echoed in his heart for a long time.

As a general-level beast master, he is no match for the opponent. Even if the four beasts work together, they are far inferior.

To solve this problem, the best way is to break through the fifth-level contract power as soon as possible, but the further you practice, the more difficult it becomes.

How easy is it to reach level five?

"Senior Gu, with this more magnificent city wall, even if the Beast King attacks again, it will not be so easy to destroy the city wall." Beside Gu Wu, an association staff member said excitedly.

"Stand up after breaking down." Gu Wu nodded slightly, "If beings like the Lava Beast King come to attack the city again, this new city wall will be enough to make them return in defeat."

"But..." There was a hint of thought in Gu Wu's eyes.

He thought of that day when the Nightmare Beast King suddenly appeared.

The opponent can easily kill the Lava Beast King. His strength has exceeded his understanding of the king level, and his skills are even more bizarre and unpredictable. The city wall may not be able to resist it.

Fortunately, the Nightmare Beast King doesn't seem to have many thoughts of killing humans.

When it attacked that day, it took away its own daughter without harming any human being.

This is good news.

Thinking of this, Gu Wu's expression became obviously relaxed.

"But what?" the staff on the side asked curiously.

"If it is..." Gu Wu was about to express what he had just thought, but was interrupted by a sharp alarm that suddenly appeared.

This is... an enemy attack!

There was a slight commotion on the city wall that had just been completed.

Everyone looked left and right, but saw no sign of the beast tide, and couldn't help but wonder.

At this moment, a cry came from the crowd, "Look at the sky!"

Everyone looked up one after another, and soon their eyes were fixed on a small black spot that was rapidly enlarging in the sky.

Gu Wu's expression stiffened slightly, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He immediately summoned his four dragons, and while flying into the air, he looked at the staff aside and said, "Go and call the president."

"No, I'm already here." Almost at the same time as Gu Wu's words fell, He Nian's voice came quickly.

The next moment, he had appeared next to Gu Wu.

Looking at the rapidly enlarging figure in the sky, He Nian's expression was as solemn as Gu Wu's.

In the past half month, it is impossible for the human world to be completely unaware of the fact that the Nightmare Beast King in Beast Domain No. 97 made other beast kings surrender one by one.

Counting the time, the Nightmare Beast King has now brought all the extraordinary creatures under his control.

At this moment, it came to Qingzhou City.

Isn't just conquering wild extraordinary creatures not enough for it?

"Old He, do we have any hope against it?" Gu Wu suddenly said as he looked at the nightmare beast king whose figure had become clearer.

"There is no hope." He Nian shook his head slightly.

He would rather come with the other four beast kings.

Because the opponent, as a super-powered beast king with mainly illusion abilities, poses too great a threat to a city.

"Then what do you think...its purpose of coming this time?" Gu Wu asked again.

"I don't know everything." He Nian smiled helplessly.

He just relies on the special ability of his pet beast to find out some information more easily, but this does not mean that he can know everything.

At least, when the Nightmare Beast King arrived this time, he was completely confused.

"But..." He Nian seemed to have discovered something. He Nian's sharp eagle eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and then his expression became a little more relaxed, "Maybe the thing is not so bad?"

Before Gu Wu could ask again, the Nightmare Beast King had already arrived.

He sighed slightly in his heart, and then led his four dragons to greet him, "What's the point of the Nightmare Beast King coming here?"

"I'm looking for Xu Ran." The Nightmare Beast King glanced at the two of them, and invisible fluctuations filled his thoughts.

"Looking for Xu Ran?" Gu Wu was startled, and then suddenly realized that the Nightmare Beast King did not come alone.

There is a little fluffy guy on its back.

This seems to be the twelfth princess who was accepted by Xu Ran after she disappeared? Only then did he realize why He Nian suddenly said that maybe it wasn't that bad.

"Xu Ran is not in Qingzhou City now. If nothing else happens, he should be in Xieyun City in Beast Domain No. 47." Gu Wu shook his head helplessly, "If you are looking for him, you may not be able to find him for the time being. .”

"Beast Domain No. 47..." The Nightmare Beast King was silent for a moment.

That was a Beast Emperor-level beast domain, and it was something it had never set foot in before.

The degree of danger can be imagined.

As a beast king who controls the spirit and illusion, it can judge that Gu Wu didn't tell a lie.

Originally, it planned to find Xu Ran and let Xu Ran help Twelve complete his evolution in front of it.

For now, the idea can only be put on hold.

"If he comes back, let him come to me as soon as possible, otherwise he will never be able to contract with my daughter." After leaving a word, the Nightmare Beast King didn't want to say more, turned around and left with Twelve, and quickly followed him. The route disappears into the sky.

"It's a false alarm." Looking at the disappearing figure of the Nightmare Beast King, Gu Wu breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head helplessly, "It's just that we can't be sure when Boss Xiao Xu will come back."

He suddenly noticed that He Nian next to him looked different, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." He Nian shook his head, took a deep breath, and calmed his expression again.

That boy actually did it?

Originally, after watching the Nightmare Beast King take Twelve away, he no longer had any hope in the contract.

But judging from the words left behind by the Nightmare Beast King when he left, it seems that there is another hidden meaning behind all this.

"Let's go to Xinghuo Nursing Home." He Nian turned around and left.

"What are you going there for? There are only employees hired by boss Xiao Xu." Gu Wu followed quickly and asked in surprise.

"Maybe they have a way to contact Xu Ran?" He Nian chuckled, with a hint of meaning in his eyes.

"Contact? How is that possible!" Gu Wu shook his head, thinking He Nian was joking.

Xu Ran is in Beast Domain No. 47, how can he be contacted?

At the same time that the two arrived at the Starfire Nursing Home, the Nightmare Beast King and Twelve also returned to the place where they left before.

Seeing Twelve's calm expression, the Nightmare Beast King's eyes flashed.

"Huh?" (Do you know about him going to Beast Domain No. 47?)

"Chirp!" (Of course I know.)

Twelve nodded and spoke without hesitation.

Hearing this, the Nightmare Beast King looked a little weird.

"Hey?" (Why didn't you say it just now?)

"Chirp~" (You didn't ask me!)

Twelve spoke innocently, with a trace of pride flashing in his eyes.

Shaking his head slightly, the Nightmare Beast King stopped mentioning this topic, and then suddenly spoke.

"Hey?" (How to find other materials needed for evolution?)

"Chirp~" (If you really can't find it, Xu Ran can be bought in the second-level town.)

Twelve waved his wings with an indifferent expression on his face.

It asked Xiao Liu to help search, just to save Xu Ran some money.

Xu Ran had already told it before that these resources could be redeemed in Xieyun City, so there was no need to worry too much.

Hearing this, the Nightmare Beast King suddenly snorted.

“Hey!” (My daughter’s evolution materials don’t need to be provided by other guys!)

After saying that, it flapped its wings and quickly disappeared at the end of the sky.

Looking at his father's disappearing figure, Twelve suddenly couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Could it be that...father is jealous?
-

"It's time to eat!"

Xu Ran's shouts rang out in the foster care area of ​​Minghui City's Xinghuo Nursing Store.

Guided by the sound and the unusually alluring fragrance, the four little ones who had been playing happily all afternoon appeared together with the silver-haired king who had just moved into the foster care shop.

"These three portions are for Ziyun, Xingchen and Cancan." Xu Ran handed the three food bowls to the three little ones waiting to be fed, then picked up another food bowl and placed it in front of Yinghuo, "This is for Yinghuo. of."

"Luhou!"

Firefly couldn't help but make excited noises.

In the afternoon, under the leadership and company of the three little ones, it trained for a long time in the fire training area, and it was already hungry.

What's more, the alluring fragrance wafting from the food bowl in front of him was something it had never smelled before.

It not only remembered that the three little ones told it in the afternoon that the food Xu Ran cooked was very delicious.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

Without hesitation, it reached out a bear paw, grabbed a handful of food from the food bowl, put it into its mouth, and then licked its paw happily.

Hmm...very strong honey scent.

Not only that, but there are various other flavors that it likes very much!

tasty! Love to eat!

Soon, Yinghuo got into the cooking mode, got close to the three little ones, and started showing off.

On the other side, Xu Ran had already handed the food bowl belonging to King Yinhao to the other party.

Seeing the joy value that popped up after King Yinhao enjoyed the delicious food, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although King Yinhao's pleasure value when eating is also low, it is still acceptable.

Thinking that King Yinhao had never experienced any happiness due to the foster care environment, Xu Ran hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively spoke, "King Yinhao, do you think your living area needs some improvement?"

"If you have any ideas, feel free to tell me and I will help you change it."

King Yinhao stopped eating, with a thoughtful look on his face, and shook his head slightly after a moment.

Apparently, it doesn't feel that its intimate surroundings need any adjustments.

"Then...are you happy here?" Xu Ran asked again.

Hearing this question, King Yinhao nodded sharply.

hapiness?

Why doesn’t happiness provide pleasure value?

Looking at King Yinhao who was back to work, Xu Ran had a thoughtful look on his face.

Whether it is King Yinhao's performance or King Yinhao's answers to his questions, it fully demonstrates his love for the foster care environment in Xinghuo Nursing Store.

But the system’s pleasure value prompts will not go wrong.

So... King Yinhao is just faking it?

But why would a foster pet pretend to be happy?

Xu Ran was filled with doubts.

After a while, the four little ones and the Silver Hao King all finished the food in the food bowl.

After tidying up the food bowl, Xu Ran glanced at King Yinhao who turned back to his living area.

There was still no reminder of the pleasure value, which made his doubts become more and more intense.

Thinking of what Zong Hua, King Yinhao's beast master, had told him before leaving, Xu Ran decided to wait a few more days. If the situation persisted, he would truthfully report the situation of King Yinhao to him.

Suddenly, there was a hint of joy on Xu Ran's face.

A line of text appeared in front of his eyes.

[Phase mission completed]

He quickly opened the task panel, and lines of text appeared in front of him.

[Main mission 4: Spreading branches and leaves

Task description: Ask the host to successfully open branches in four different secondary towns. The branch's popularity reaches more than 50%, which is regarded as a successful opening. This task is a phased task, and the task rewards will be distributed in stages.

Mission reward: System skill upgrade token x1, system upgrade experience +600]

[Task at the current stage: Successfully open branches in three different secondary towns.

Mission progress: 3/3

Capture Cloud City (Completed)

Yaomu City (Completed)

Minghui City (completed)

Stage task reward: System clerk x3]

In just a few days, with the blessing of the "Holy Hands of Cleansing" and the eye-catching geographical advantage of Shuguang No. 1 Building, the popularity of the Spark Nursing Home in Minghui City has skyrocketed. For the first time, the popularity task has gone so smoothly. Finish.

At the same time, sensing Xu Ran's excitement, the three little ones all looked at him.

Xu Ran smiled and said, "The popularity is up to standard," and then walked towards the store lobby.

He couldn't wait to see the three new clerks.

The curiosity in the three little eyes turned into surprise.

The popularity is up to standard!

This means that Xu Ran can let three clerks take over the store, which means they have more time to explore the world outside the city.

"Luhou?"

Yinghuo looked at the three little ones curiously.

What popularity? What meets the standards?

It always feels like everyone is very excited.

"Cha~" (I can't tell you this yet, it's a secret.)

Cancan patted Yinghuo on the shoulder mysteriously, shook his head and said.

"Xi Lv~" (Let's follow too!)

Xingchen neighed and took the lead to follow Xu Ran. Ziyun and Cancan quickly followed without saying anything.

Seeing the eager expressions of three pets, Yinghuo scratched his head, and then couldn't help but lick his paws.

The aroma of the food just left was still on its paws, and while it was intoxicated, it quickly forgot the idea of ​​exploring.

Walking into the closed store, Xu Ran looked at the three little ones following him, and then chose to summon the three clerks without hesitation.

As the three whirlpools turned into portals, three figures soon appeared.

Not surprisingly, the clerk this time was still very systematic, but Xu Ran found that he had gradually become immune to it.

Selecting one of the more serious ones to be promoted to the system store manager, Xu Ran looked at the three new faces with a smile, "Starting tomorrow, the store will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, boss, we will definitely live up to our mission." The system store manager hit his chest hard, and the next moment, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth as if he had been hit hard.

He took out a white handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth without leaving a trace, then raised his hand to give himself another blow.

"That's enough, that's enough." Xu Ran stopped him dumbfounded.

I don’t know when the system will assign him some normal clerks.

"Let's all go to bed early today. We'll see you tomorrow."

Seeing the three clerks returning to the living area to rest, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

With the store being maintained by store employees, he has less to worry about and can focus more on other things.

"Cha?" (With the new clerk, can we go out of town again today?)

Cancan asked excitedly.

Thinking of how he and his other friends had killed a beast king last night, it felt like there was nothing nearby that could stop it from exploring.

"Don't worry, there was such a big fuss yesterday, so we have to keep a low profile for a few days." Xu Ran shook his head and chuckled, "We..."

Just as he was about to say something, a rapid ringing sound suddenly came from the store.

This sound is...

Xu Ran's expression changed slightly and he quickly looked at the landline phone hanging next to the counter.

That's a cross-town phone number that only store managers from other stores have the right to make.

Xu Ran stepped forward and picked up the phone, "Hello?"

"Boss, it's me." Teacher Tony's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. "Today the Nightmare Beast King came to Qingzhou City and asked to see you by name. He also said that if you don't go find him, you won't be able to contract his daughter."

Xu Ran: "...Huh?"
