Chapter 6: The Language of the Beast
is also because Liu Yiran's physical strength is only a little, so when he was locked up and fell into silence, he quickly felt the exhaustion coming from all over his body, and of course, there were bursts of hunger, which haunted him.
Liu Yiran has been fighting wits with the gardener for almost a day, at this time the sky is close to dusk and evening, and the red sunset is obliquely shining in from the window, adding a bit of lazy feeling to the tired Liu Yiran's nerves.
Looking at the gardener who was busy in the kitchen, it was estimated that he would not be able to leave for a while.
Liu Yiran, who was extremely hungry on an empty stomach, thought that if he escaped now, he would be caught immediately. So, he chose to sleep. Heavy eyelids closed, and he quickly fell asleep.
I don't know how long it has been.
Anyway, when the stars illuminated the earth and the moon faintly showed its face from the stars, Liu Yiran was woken up by the mechanical voice in his head-
[Ding Dong, except for the yellow quest, every time you complete all the quests on a page, you will awaken a special skill, please carefully choose the most advantageous skill at the moment. 】
[Dingdong, your quest has been updated, please check in the quest list.] 】
The voice of the system did not come from his ears, but appeared directly in his mind, so Liu Yiran woke up very thoroughly.
Secretly scolding from the bottom of his heart for destroying his good dreams, Liu Yiran opened his eyes. When looking around at the black environment, Liu Yiran was startled by the scene in front of him!
I saw a huge flat mouth, just through the gap in the bamboo basket, stagnating in front of me. There was still a fishy smell left on the mouth, and the whole duck's mouth was almost completely stunned on Liu Yiran's face.
But what Liu Yiran didn't know was that the duck that came out of the basket was actually trying to get himself out of the basket in his own way. It's just a bit stupid to open the gap in the cage with your mouth.
"Quack! Quack quack!! ”
The duck saw Liu Yiran open his eyes and seemed to be very happy. He pulled his mouth back and screamed. The sound was like the sound effect of a mobile phone suddenly playing out in a quiet classroom, so noisy that Liu Yiran hurriedly opened his eyes wide, and said in a low and nervous voice:
"Ahhh Do you want me to die here? )”
The duck also came back to his senses, and it seemed that talking like this would attract the gardener or others again, so he quickly lowered his volume, but he still whispered "quack" in Liu Yiran's ear.
"Uh-uh-uh (what are you talking about?) I don't understand! )”
The duck was stunned for a moment, and saw that Liu Yiran didn't seem to be joking with himself, but even more powerful, as if he was explaining what he was talking about.
Liu Yiran, who looked at the cage structure, ignored the duck. After looking at it, a new task interface was directly brought up.
【Mission:】
[Raise ducks (at least until you can cultivate immortals and reach the source sea realm.] )】
【Sea bass release】
[Hide the three knives]
【Turn salt from a salt shaker into sugar】
【Find the recipe and tear it up】
【Fill the kitchen with flour】
These tasks are the same as the last one, and there are only five tasks except for raising ducks. But the difference is that this time the mission does not have green tasks, and all the tasks are white tasks that only increase a little bit by doing two.
"It looks like a lot of these tasks can be done tonight, so hurry up, if you ......"
While thinking about things, Liu Yiran used twice his strength to break a big gap in the bamboo cage he was in. The bamboo cage, which was not very strong, broke down directly, and the whole goose broke out of the cage, which stunned the ducks on the side.
"Quack, quack!"
Liu Yiran's thinking of his brain, which was not smart, was interrupted by a stunned duck on the side. Faced with a loud duck call, Liu Yiran went completely crazy. Raise your neck and stretch your face to bite the duck's beak, which startles the duck.
But the duck was very agile and quickly flipped its wings backwards. The duck jumped backwards, flapped its wings, and accidentally jumped high, knocking over the pots and pans on the upper shelf in the kitchen, making a jingling sound.
Liu Yiran was so frightened that his eyes closed. He was not afraid that the basin would hit him, but that the noise made by these things would attract the gardener.
Luckily, the kitchen door was closed, perhaps the gardener or someone else lived late in the kitchen, so the noise didn't attract anyone.
Liu Yiran, who closed his eyes and waited for the voice to come over and others to judge him, waited for a long time and found that there was nothing wrong, and the tense nerves in his body relaxed.
With a long sigh of relief, Liu Yiran listened to the duck cry ringing in his ears again, and was completely speechless.
"Is there anything I can do to understand what he's saying?"
Liu Yiran sighed lightly, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering what the system said that he could open a skill.
He unfolded the list of skills, thinking that he would see a dazzling array of skills, but the skills on it were all gray, and he couldn't even see what skills should appear in the future.
The three skills at the top of all skills, that is, the only three basic skills that Liu Yiran seems to be able to unlock now, are - beast language, flying, and swimming.
And there is a row of small words behind these three skills: unlock two of the basic skills, and you can open the subsequent skill unlocking conditions.
Liu Yiran is now suffering from the curse of this duck's hoop and urgently needs to get rid of it. After seeing the basic skill "Beast Language", I didn't hesitate to unlock this skill.
"Quack quack...... (Big goose, why can't you understand me?) I'm obviously talking about ordinary beast language, huh? For spirit beasts like you who can use spiritual power, isn't it the most basic to be able to understand the language of beasts? So where did your spiritual power come from? Why can't you understand what I'm saying, but I can understand what you're saying? You can't explain this! ...... )”
Liu Yiran finally understood what the duck was talking about, but he found that the key to the problem was not what the duck was saying, but that the duck was indeed a big talker. No matter what language is spoken, it is a headache for the goose.
(I can understand what you're saying, can you shut up?) I have something very important to do now, and when you wait quietly for me to finish my work, I will tell you where my spiritual power comes from. )”
After Liu Yiran answered most of the duck's questions, the duck found that the goose could understand his words.
