Chapter 84: The Story of the Pony

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

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

"It's a little different." Xu Kun nodded slightly, "It seems that Boss Xiao Xu has been discovering it for a while." ”

"I saw it halfway through." Xu Ran nodded, "It doesn't seem to be using any skills, is it training itself in this way?" ”

"Speaking of which..."Xu Ran suddenly thought of something, "According to what Uncle Xu just said, horse beasts have the skill of 'toughness', even if they don't use other skills, they shouldn't be so tired after running a lap, right?" ”

"It's true that normal equine pets don't do that." Xu Kun stepped forward, held down the foal, and gently touched the newly grown mane on the back of its neck, "But what if this little guy is not an extraordinary creature?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Ran blinked.

He looked at the foal in front of him carefully, and then looked abrupt.

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

The foal in front of him didn't have the slightest fluctuation of extraordinary strength, it was just an ordinary creature, no wonder it was so much worse than its companions just now.

"Uncle Xu, there are still ordinary horses in your base." Xu Ran smiled dumbly, "I almost didn't see it." ”

"There are never ordinary horses at 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 can make an extra ordinary horse in a base that breeds horse pets?

"It was an accident, indeed." Xu Kun nodded slightly, looked at the foal who was quietly stroking, and there was a little more complicated color in his eyes, "It's a child chasing the wind." ”

"The kid chasing the wind?" Xu Ran's voice rose a little, and a little surprise appeared on his face, "The descendants of extraordinary creatures, why are they ordinary creatures?" ”

"Could it be that its mother is an ordinary horse?" Xu Ran guessed.

"No, its mother is also a horse pet." Xu Kun shook his head and pointed to the black unicorn that was not close not far away, but kept looking this way, "That's Wuxiao, its mother." ”

Xu Ran had even more doubts in his heart.

He knew that it would be more difficult for transcendent beings to reproduce than ordinary creatures, but the mating offspring of two transcendent creatures was an ordinary creature, which made him a little dazed.

"There are unique rules for the reproduction of transcendent beings." Xu Kun spoke softly, "If different races reproduce, the offspring will inherit the race of the stronger of the parents, and no new race will be generated. ”

"If the parents are close in strength, then the offspring will inherit the race of one of the families at random, in which case there is a small probability that an event may occur."

"That is, the descendants did not inherit the race of either of them."

"That's how it is." Xu Kun patted the foal's head and stood up, "Although it can't outrun other companions, it has grown up in the atmosphere of the base since it was a child, and it also has a character of not admitting defeat in its bones." ”

"Even if he is several laps behind his fellow laps each time, he will do his best and run until he is exhausted."

Hearing Xu Kun's words, Xu Ran's face couldn't help but show a look of emotion.

It turns out that this stubborn foal has such a bizarre background.

He couldn't help but step forward and tentatively reach out his hand.

The foal glanced at him and the purple cloud that followed him, and stood there without fear.

"Wouldn't it be afraid of otherworldly creatures?" Xu Ran asked.

"Although it is not an extraordinary race, it is the offspring of two transcendent creatures, and it is physically better than the average foal, and it is not afraid of the might 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 the stars." Xu Kun smiled slightly, "It has a little hobby, and on a night without dark clouds, it likes to look up at the stars in the sky alone, so I gave it such a name." ”

"That's good." Xu Ran nodded seriously.

"Meow~"

Ziyun approached Xingchen's side and circled around it curiously.

Perhaps because he used to be an ordinary creature, he was more able to understand the insurmountable gap between ordinary creatures and transcendent creatures, and the more he admired Xingchen's persistence.

Living with a horse pet animal every day, but not being able to really fit in, must be very painful for this guy.

Thinking of this, Ziyun couldn't help but reach out his claws, wanting to pat Xingchen's shoulder and back as a comfort.

"Wow!"

Xingchen didn't grasp Ziyun's kindness, and this unfamiliar contact caused it to rise from the ground for the first time, and jumped back a few steps, with a look of vigilance in its eyes.

"Meow?"

Ziyun's paws that stopped in the air were slightly embarrassed, and then he sat on the ground and scratched his neck with his hind paws to alleviate the embarrassment.

"Sigh Rule~"

A long hiss with a bit of majesty came from not far away.

It seemed that Xingchen's exclamation just now attracted the attention of Chasing Wind, and it came side by side with Xingchen's mother, Wuxiao, and walked in front of Xingchen.

The family of three got together, as if they were discussing something in a whisper, and after a while, Chasing Feng lowered his head, put his head on the body of Xingchen, and easily pushed it in front of Xu Ran, and then looked at Xu Ran, and let out a majestic voice.

"Sigh Rule~"

"Chasing the wind said, I hope to entrust the stars to you." Xu Kun translated the meaning of chasing the wind for the first time, and then his expression became slightly strange.

As the Beast Master of Chasing the Wind, he knew very well that although Chasing Wind usually showed indifference to the child Xingchen, he had been secretly observing its performance.

It cares so much about the stars, but at this moment it wants to entrust the stars to Boss Xiaoxu?

And the same look of surprise was Xu Ran.

"Entrust it to me?" Xu Ran blinked.

He almost blurted out, "How do you know I have an awakening stone."

But if you think about it, it's probably a coincidence.

Maybe it was yesterday's washing and today's interaction that made Chasing Wind feel that he was a trustworthy person, so he handed over the young stars to his own care?

"This is the meaning of chasing the wind, if Boss Xu is willing, he can take the stars with him." Xu Kun smiled, "Judging from the situation just now, Boss Xu, you still like the feeling of riding a horse very much." ”

"Xingchen has the blood to chase the wind, and when he grows up, he is much stronger than ordinary horses, so he is a good choice."

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

After listening to this little guy's life experience, he admired this little guy a lot, and the awakening stone that he had never used in his hand just happened to make Xingchen a transcendent creature.

However, whether we want to do this will have to wait and see.

Xingchen raised his head slightly, his eyes glowing with a little purple in the black were like deep gems, looking at Xu Ran, who was taller than himself.

With its extraordinary blood, it has a lot of wisdom, and just now its father told it that following the person in front of it, there may be hope to change its fate.

Fate, the stars are unbelieving.

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

Because it doesn't believe in fate, it runs so hard, trying to catch up with its other companions, trying to prove that it can bridge the gap between the two.

Although it was always a failure, it never gave up.

Now, when his father, who had always been regarded as an idol, told him that his fate might be changed, a throbbing suddenly appeared in Xingchen's heart.

It wants to... Seize this opportunity!

"Sigh Rule~"

Xingchen suddenly let out a rapid hiss, as if inviting Xu Ran to ride on his back.

"Well, you're still young, you may not be able to move..."Looking at the foal who was shorter than himself, Xu Ran subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after looking at Shang Xingchen's firm eyes, he was slightly moved, "Then I'll try." ”

He rode cautiously on the back of the stars.

Xingchen's back was not broad, and it looked even weaker than its father's, but it carried Xu Ran's body steadily, and he never trembled.

One-step... Two steps...

After Xu Ran sat down, Xingchen began to move forward step by step, and then gradually accelerated and ran.

Xu Ran, who was sitting behind Xingchen, could clearly feel its struggle, after all, this was still a young foal, but Xingchen was always persistent, and his weight-bearing body was always trying to stabilize.

"Meow~"

Ziyun slowly sat up straight, looking at the stars who were trying to carry his beast master away, and moved his head slightly, with a bit of recognition.

Although the guy was hiding from it just now, the magnanimous one decided to forgive the guy.

If the Beastmaster decides to take it away, then he has no objection!

Xingchen carried Xu Ran faster and faster, circled around the empty field in front of him, and finally returned to the same place and stopped.

After Xu burned down, it held its head high, like a child trying to get praise after performing a show.

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

"Hmm..."Xu Ran turned his head to look at Ziyun, and after learning Ziyun's thoughts in the eyes of one person and one pet, he nodded slowly, "Since that's the case, then I'll bring Xingchen back, thank you Uncle Xu." ”

"It's just a foal, you're welcome." Xu Kun smiled even more.

"Sigh Rule~"

Seeing that Xingchen was recognized by Xu Ran, a hint of joy flashed in Chasing Wind's eyes.

Although he didn't tell the beast master, Chasing Wind's perception was very keen, and it knew very well in its heart that it was able to win this championship today, which was closely related to yesterday's washing.

Just washing and caring can bring such a miraculous effect, and the human in front of you is not simple.

Perhaps it was the effect of the sixth sense, Chasing 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.

"Then congratulations to Boss Xu for winning the love horse!" Xu Kun patted Xu Ran on the shoulder, "Let's have lunch here and then go!" Try my craft. ”

"Then you're welcome." Xu Ran smiled and nodded.

——

"Xingchen, let's make this place my home in the future."

led Xingchen into his foster care store, Xu Ran said with a smile.

"Sigh Rule~"

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

"Meow~" (Welcome home!) )

Ziyun circled the stars as a welcome ceremony for the new members, and then jumped on the counter to take his own place.

On the way over, Xingchen and Ziyun gradually became familiar with each other, and there was no more frightened resistance like before, at this moment it hissed at Ziyun in a friendly manner, and then waited for Xu Ran to settle down.

"I want to think about it... Take a break here and you'll be in foster care tonight. Xu Ran thought for a moment and quickly had an idea.

At this point, the system is still in an upgraded state, and the stars entering it will be considered a new occupant, so it will not be able to enter it yet.

Wait until the evening when the system upgrade is complete and it will be ready to move in.

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

Once you've determined how the stars are settled, there's only one last thing left.

Awaken the stars into supernatural beings.

"Xingchen, close your eyes."

Xu Ran silently took out the awakening stone, pasted it on the center of Xingchen's eyebrows who obediently closed his eyes, and added a sentence of "good luck" as when he awakened Ziyun before, and then let go and stood aside.

"Sigh~"

Xingchen's body trembled slightly.

The Awakening Stone attached to its eyebrows did not fall even if Xu Ran let go, but hovered in the air, gradually merging into its eyebrows.

As the Awakening Stone fully merged, colored light emerged from the inside of the star's body, enveloping its body layer by layer.

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

Because of the previous use of the Insight Mirror to select the eggs, he was already familiar with the colors represented by the different attributes.

If you look closely, you can find that the light emitted by the awakening at this moment happens to be intertwined with ten different colors, corresponding to ten different attributes.

While Xu Ran observed, the ten colors changed to nine, and the cyan corresponding to the wind system quietly disappeared.

This is followed by the red color corresponding to the fire system.

According to the previous experience of Ziyun Awakening, the disappearing color means that the corresponding attribute does not match the star.

And the color left for the end will be transformed into the final attribute of the star.

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

Ziyun, who was lying on the counter, watched this scene with interest.

There is a very different way to see this scene from the perspective of a bystander, and to see it from the perspective of an eyewitness.

Looking at the stars whose bodies were wrapped in colored light, Ziyun's eyes were a little more distracted.

How did you feel when you first woke up?

If memory serves, it's like a dream.

In its dreams, all sorts of things that it had once feared came flooding back, and at last it saw a thunderbolt falling from the sky.

Thunder and lightning, that was the most feared power of Ziyun when it was still a stray cat, it once saw another stray cat that wandered with it die under the lightning strike, and since then it has a very deep psychological shadow.

Perhaps the most fearful is also the deepest desire in the heart, so it finally awakened the thunder system and took this power into its own hands.

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