Chapter 32 Taming
The stream flows, insects chirp and flutter their wings, and the reeds sway in the night wind.

In a peaceful atmosphere, Chuying, Mi Duoduo, and Bubu's eyelids kept sinking, all lurking and waiting, and they were all a little sleepy.

Only Li Ming was very excited about obtaining [Green Bear Arm Strength] and looked full of energy.

bang~ bang~
The sound of heavy treading on the ground came from far to near.

Midoduo leaned his ear to the ground and listened for a moment. The cat's claws drew a huge outline out of thin air.

Signaling the approaching monster, judging from the sound of footsteps on the ground, it is definitely not small.

In order to be safe, the two cats got up and started digging on the ground, trying to hide themselves in holes.

Li Ming rubbed back and forth on the mud floor, creating depressions.

Half of the prone body soon submerged into the mud, as if it was integrated with the ground.

Chuying looked left and right, feeling that she didn't have any concealment methods and could only crawl back.

Use the deeper cover of the reeds to hide your tracks.

bang~ bang~
The three-toed pointed claws covered with light yellow scales stepped into the mud, leaving deep claw marks.

The white curly hair on the outside of the limbs and the erected and folded claw blades allowed Li Ming, who was lying down, to identify the type of monster even if he could not see the whole thing.

Green Bearmon's corpse has been covered up with deodorizing balls and odor balls, so why does Thunder Wolf Dragon come again?

Just when Li Ming was confused, a dense sound of flapping wings sounded.

Countless bright blue light spots emerged from the reeds and surrounding jungles, converging towards the location of the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

The stream bank was instantly illuminated.

A cluster of lightning bugs suddenly stopped mid-flight and hovered over Li Ming.

Li Ming raised his hand slightly, stretched out a finger, and pointed at the insect group with an evil look, indicating that you should die as soon as possible.

slap~
A flash of bright blue electricity appeared at the fingertips.

what?
Li Ming was also shocked when he saw this.

I thought that this might be a side effect of eating lightning bugs. Electricity was flowing out of my body?

Aw~ Aw~
At this time, the thunder wolf dragon roared, and the hovering lightning bugs quickly flew away as if they were inspired by some strong force.

Bah!Bah!Snapped!Snapped!
Under the concentrated energy of countless lightning bugs, multiple thick electric lights intertwined with each other on the arched back of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, crackling and exploding.

Now that it was confirmed that the Thunder Wolf Dragon was not here for the body of the Green Bear Beast, Li Ming's nervous mood relaxed slightly.

Turning around, the Thunder Wolf Dragon started running towards the direction it came from.

Strange, it doesn't look like it's fighting. What's it doing with so many lightning bugs?
Li Ming, who was confused, put his arms on the ground, dug out the mud potholes and began to move, passing the news to the other members of the team that the Thunder Wolf Dragon had left.

Not long after, the team gathered together again in the reeds.

"So dangerous, meow."

Bubu, who was covered in mud, said happily.

"Although the guild has confirmed the sighting of Meow, we still submit the information about the encounter."

Following Midodo's suggestion, the team compiled the information they had seen.

"It's such a strong sense of oppression, I feel like I'm going to stop breathing."

Chuying let out a sigh of relief.

"Yes, if you want to face the Thunder Wolf Dragon directly, you must at least have extraordinary courage."

Li Ming agreed.

The team continued to stay in hiding and drove away three approaching dog dragons, and the scene became quiet again.

About two hours later, a "maru bird" with human legs poked its head into the reeds.

"That shouldn't be."

Chuying said unconvincingly.

"It must be him."

Li Ming confirmed.

"Here meow!"

Midoduo shook the reed vigorously and gave guidance to the investigators wearing bionic pill bird equipment.

Soon, the humanoid Marutori lay down in the reeds.

"Your team is experienced enough. If it weren't for the guidance of Melu, even I wouldn't be able to find it. Let me introduce myself. Volo, the field investigator of the Jieyun Underground Cave Branch, known as the Master of Disguise, is me."

After Wolo finished speaking, he pushed Marutori's neck back, and the head of a middle-aged man poked out of the wooden chest.

"Hello Investigator Wolo, I am Chu Ying, a two-star hunter. Thank you for coming for contract verification."

Chuying also introduced herself.

"You are the only one here to guard the other members. They must have been sent back to the camp by the cat car?"

Volo speculated.

"No, everyone is here. Hello Volo, I am Li Ming, and I am also a two-star hunter."

Volo turned his head sideways, looked at the slightly raised dirt pile on the side, and praised, "What a great concealment method."

"It's okay. Wait for me."

wow~
The hardened mud shell shattered, and a fist holding the hunting contract stretched out.

"Very good. The nearby area is very dangerous right now. You just need to stay here and stay here. I will inform you after the certification is completed."

After saying that, Waro stood up, lowered his head and clasped Marutori's neck tightly, and then moved towards the Green Bear beast's body.

Covered by vine nets and masked by scent, the team is done.

The certification process was completed quickly, and Waro stamped it.

“It’s a pleasure to cooperate and thank the ruthless team for their efforts towards ecological stability.”

After Wolo finished speaking, he handed the contract into the hole in the dirt pile.

"You can evacuate now, leave this place to me."

Volo informed.

"Investigator Volo, one of your feathers has fallen off."

After Midoduo reminded him, he helped pick it up.

"Thanks for the reminder. Just help to stick it to the buttocks. Yes, that's it. I have something to tell you. If the team is not in a hurry, they can try to bring two wild Maru Birds back. It can not only reduce the weight, but also sell them at a good price. , of course, this is on the premise of ensuring safety.”

Warlow gives advice.

"Thank you. You should also pay attention to your safety."

After Li Ming waved goodbye, the team headed towards the camp.

"Strange, meow, why did Investigator Volo say that taking Marutori back would reduce the burden?"

Midoduo asked puzzledly.

"Because it's a living Marutori and can help carry supplies."

Li Ming explained.

"Oh! So that's it, meow!"

Midoduo suddenly realized.

"Then if you bring it back to the base, you can sell it as a pack monster. It should be very valuable."

Chuying started to think about it.

"The price shouldn't be low, but domestication is different from hunting. It probably takes a long time to learn before you can master it."

Li Ming expressed his concerns.

"You can start with food, nya. Marutori's favorite thing to eat is lightning bugs."

After Bu Bu finished speaking, he and Chu Ying Mi Duoduo looked at Li Ming.

"It all depends on what I do? I've eaten lightning bugs, but that doesn't mean I can tame Marutori."

Li Ming said helplessly.

"Li Ming is right, but now that the hunting contract has been reached, you can try to tame the Maru Bird while collecting in the wild. If you still can't tame the Maru Bird after the collection meets the demand, there is no loss in giving up."

Chuying expressed her opinion.

"That's a good suggestion, I agree."

Li Ming agreed.

On the second day, the team took a full rest during the rotation, completed preparations at noon, and marched off.

Herbs, honey, blue mushrooms, strange power seeds, club bones, spider's nests, earth crystals.
The team searched all the way through the low-risk areas designated on the map. As long as they were useful materials, they collected them and put them in their backpacks.

When meeting other hunter teams or gatherers, materials will be replaced according to the needs of both parties.

This feeling of picking up money in the wild made Li Ming very happy.

As for the shortcomings, it is its limited load-carrying capacity, the inability to pack everything away, and the extremely long material generation cycle.

"So tired, meow~"

Midoduo removed the bulging cyst that was bigger than himself and sat on the ground to rest.

"Compared to Sand Plains, the ecological resources here are really rich."

Li Ming sighed.

Shasha~
Hearing a noise in the trees, the team immediately became alert.

But when they saw that it was a Marutori looking over their heads, everyone's eyes became intense.

Marutori, sensing something was wrong, quickly retracted his head.

The team covered the bulging backpack with a vine net and started tracking.Next to a forest shoal, the team discovered seven Maru Birds gathered together.

In terms of taming methods, since no one in the team had experience, they chose to use their own methods to conduct research and development.

Whoever succeeds will be followed by the rest of the team.

"We went Meow."

After Bubu finished speaking, Yu Midoduo walked out of the bushes together.

"Come on, let's look out for the wind."

Li Ming sent encouragement.

Seeing the two cats go away, Chu Ying asked curiously: "Li Ming, what is your taming method?"

"Love."

Li Ming gave a short answer.

“Does love work?”

Chu Ying didn't know how serious she was.

"I don't know, but I think it's worth a try. What about yours?"

Li Ming said seriously.

"I'm not very well prepared, and I don't think it's feasible, so I won't talk about it."

Chuying informed.

"It doesn't matter, feel free to practice it boldly, I'm still here."

Li Ming encouraged.

Deng ~ Deng ~ Deng ~
Duwu~duwu~
Bubu played the waist drum and Midoduo played the horn.

Although the Marutori flock was not too frightened, the actions of the two cats still shocked them.

Before he could finish playing, he fled along the shoal.

"Stop bragging about Mido, Marutori will run away, nya."

Bubu Catpaw pressed the horn and said helplessly.

"You should dance first, meow."

Midoduo summed up the reasons for the failure.

"No, nya, it's mainly because my development of fried lightning bugs failed, otherwise I would have definitely attracted Marutori."

Bubu sighed.

After the two cats returned dejectedly, it was Chuying's turn to try.

She first used the lightning bugs in the insect net to seduce, and after bringing a Marutori into a relatively short distance, she jumped up and jumped on the Marutori's back.

Feathers were scattered and screams continued.

In a panic, Marutori kept running quickly, and finally jumped with his legs and fell into the shallows.

A man and two cats were watching, their heads moving left and right.

When Marutori, who continued to run back and forth, was exhausted, he finally slowed down and lowered his head to rest.

pat~pat~
Chuying reluctantly pinched the lightning bug that flashed with lightning and delivered it towards Marunori's mouth.

Marutori raised his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the delivered lightning bug in one gulp.

After that, Marutori was no longer as panicked as before, and he didn't seem to care that much about Chuying climbing on his back.

"It's a bit similar to my thinking, but the details and concepts are different."

Li Ming felt that Chuying acted smoothly and clearly thought carefully about every step.

"It's different there, meow?"

Bubu asked curiously.

"She took advantage of Marutori's fear. After Marutori was frightened, she realized that the other person had not hurt her, thus creating trust and dependence."

Li Ming explained.

"Then what's your way, meow?"

Bubu asked eagerly.

"I like to make Marudori feel happy and develop dependence."

Li Ming informed.

After putting the rope around Marudori's neck, Chuying tried to pull him away.

After resisting a few times with slight resistance, Marutori finally gave in and walked with him.

"It worked, meow! Chuying is so amazing."

Bubu said excitedly.

"It's just that I'm lucky. It seems a little afraid of you. We have to keep a certain distance before it fully adapts."

After Chuying finished speaking, she took Marunori away to the side.

At this time, all eyes fell on Li Ming.

"Chu Ying, your method is very good, but I also want to try my own."

"Well, come on."

Chuying gave encouragement.

"Li Ming is really persistent, meow, he insists on using his own method."

Bubu said with emotion.

"I believe he can succeed."

Midodo responded.

"I don't feel like it's working. After all, Chuying has optimized the process perfectly."

Bubu felt that Li Ming was a bit stubborn and there was no practical way to make Marunori feel happy.

"Just wait and see, meow."

Midoduo clenched his cat's paws tightly and said unwillingly.

After watching for a moment, Li Ming picked a smaller Marunori.

It is also attracted by lightning bugs and induced to leave the group.

Li Ming made a flying leap, but instead of jumping on his back, he landed under Marutori.

Before Marutori had time to be frightened, he felt that something was suddenly firmly grasping the joints of his paws.

Call ~
A few bright blue feathers fell.

Marutori suddenly noticed that what he saw in his field of vision suddenly rose.

"Drink! Drink! Drink!."

Amidst a burst of shouting, Li Ming, holding the Maruniao high, turned back and ran quickly on the shore of the shallows.

Marutori twisted his neck from side to side and looked at the sky, completely confused.

Call ~
Suddenly, Marutori suddenly landed smoothly.

The familiar sound of the flapping wings of lightning bugs sounded, and then he turned his head to check, and a cloth bag was placed on his head.

hum ~ hum ~
Inside the bag is a blue world illuminated by lightning bugs.

Marutori only needs to open its mouth, and a large number of lightning bugs will fly into it.

Call ~
Marudori was lifted up again by the claws.

During the rapid movement, the strong wind blew through the body and the feathers trembled.

Vaguely, Marutori liked this feeling.

The vestigial short wings try to spread outwards, as if they are flying into the wind.

"Is this the love Li Ming talks about?"

Chuying looked stupid and whispered softly.

"Marutori didn't resist at all. It's impossible, nya."

Bubu stood stunned and quickly shook his head in denial.

"Well, I just said Li Ming is fine, meow."

Seeing such a surprising taming method, Midoduo was also shocked.

The turning back attack stopped, and the claws fell to the ground.

After taking off the bag, the lightning bugs flew away.

The dreamlike experience ends and Marudori returns to reality.

After the panting Li Ming calmed down, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked softly.

"Are you cool?"

Marutori couldn't understand human language, so naturally he couldn't respond and could only stand there stupidly.

Li Ming didn't say much, turned around and left.

Marutori looked back at the group of people on the shore, and then at the backs of the humans who were retreating.

He moved his paws and chased after him.
