It was night, and the one person and four pets who had closed their business quietly came to Luolei Valley.

"This is it." Looking at the deep valley where terrifying thunder kept flashing in the distance, Xu Ran lowered his voice and spoke, "Twelve, can you tell what's wrong?" ”

"Chirp~" (I'll try.) ）

Twelve couldn't help but glance twice more at the direction of the inside of the deep valley.

It could feel that there was a powerful beastmaster entrenched there.

Of course, it's much worse than Daddy.

This gave Twelve a little more confidence in his heart.

The rich super-energy power rippled around its body like water waves, and soon enveloped all the people and four pets, isolating them from the surroundings, and indirectly playing a hidden effect in the form of illusions.

Immediately afterward, it took one person and three floors, and began to carefully explore the outer area of Luolei Valley.

"The Thunder Willow has always lived in the interior of the valley, so if the guy who made the mark wants not to alarm it, the mark will definitely stay on the outside of the valley, so that the Thunder Willow will not notice."

While analyzing, Twelve flapped his wings and flew quickly over the scene in front of him, and soon landed somewhere, "There is a trace of abnormal aura left here. ”

"Cha!" (Leave it to me!) ）

Without saying a word, Cancan immediately dived into the earth, and after a while, he grabbed a ground spirit mouse and floated up.

Twelve: "..."

It's clearly not a mark left by a guy.

It flicked a thread at random, restrained the poor ground mouse, and stared into the other's wise eyes.

"Chirp?" (How long have you been living here?) ）

"Squeak squeak~" (Just a few days after I arrived here, I fled.) ）

"Chirp~" (Okay, let's go back.) ）

Twelve shook his head helplessly, knowing that he couldn't ask for any useful information from the other party, and let it burrow back into the dirt.

"Chirp~" (Let's go to the next place.) ）

Seeing the twelve who flapped their wings and flew to another place, one person and three pets quickly followed, and at this moment, Cancan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

It glanced suspiciously in the direction in which the spirit rat had burrowed into the ground.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ran asked.

"Cha~" (Nothing.) ）

Cancan shook his head.

I guess it's my own delusion.

At the same time, deep underground, the Earth Spirit Rat, which had just been released by Twelve, suddenly crashed into a stone.

The next moment, a flash of lightning flashed on the surface of the stone, directly turning the earth spirit rat into ashes.

A trace of energy escaped from the body of the fallen Earth Spirit Rat, and was quickly devoured by the strange stone.

The light that flickered on the stone also became brighter and brighter at this moment.

It seemed to be silently probing for something, and soon the light converged along with the aura that had just emerged, and it fell into dormancy again.

For this anomalous stone underground, one person and four pets are completely unaware.

Under Twelve's leadership, they soon made new discoveries.

"You say, four months ago, a beastmaster passed by?"

Xu Ran looked at an electric pattern rabbit controlled by Twelve, and couldn't help but ask.

The electric rabbit nods mechanically.

"Chirp?" (How strong is it?) What ethnicity is it? ）

Twelve's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

Hearing this question, the electric striped rabbit was a little more dazed on its face, and it subconsciously shook its head.

With its weak strength at the elite level, being able to perceive that the other party is a beast king is already the limit, and it has no concept of the specific situation of strength.

As for race, that's not something it can know.

"Sigh~" (Let it tell me about the specific situation at that time.) ）

The stars on the side hissed, and a thoughtful look appeared in their eyes.

Although there are many things that are not clear about the electric striped rabbit in front of them, since they have witnessed each other with their own eyes, they should be able to deduce some key information from the other party's description.

Twelve nodded, controlling the electric rabbit to speak.

Four months ago, the Electro Rabbit and its colony had been living around the Thunder Valley.

Although each other's Falling Thunder Valley does not have the world-destroying thunder like it is now, it also has a strong thunder power surging, and there are not a few thunder transcendent creatures living here.

And one day, an uninvited guest quietly arrived.

It was a transcendent creature like a dragon, with no strong power surging around it, and it seemed to be deliberately keeping a low profile.

But it happened to pass near the electric striped rabbit clan, and the fear that originated from the instinct of life made the electric striped rabbit judge for the first time that the other party was a kind of beast king.

The dragon did not enter the Falling Thunder Valley, but just stood far away outside the Falling Thunder Valley and observed the situation in the valley, and quickly turned away.

And after it left, the only electric rabbit who found it ushered in the catastrophe, except for this electric rabbit who escaped by luck, and the other members of the tribe died strangely and tragically.

Because of this, this electric striped rabbit will be impressed by the other party.

"Dragon... Dragon-like transcendent creatures? After listening to the electric striped rabbit's story, Xu Ran touched his chin, and his face showed a thoughtful look, "Sure enough, Twelve's guess is right." ”

"According to the introduction of the adventure map, there should be no dragon-type thunder supernatural creatures nearby." Xu Ran's voice paused, "Being able to quietly make the electric striped rabbit clan die tragically afterwards, the other party's methods are also very weird." ”

"Chirp~" (That guy should be the yellow finch behind the scenes, and the thunder pattern golden willow is just an opponent on the surface.) ）

Twelve confidently draws conclusions.

"Chirp~" (It wants to kill the electric pattern rabbit clan, just to prevent its whereabouts from being discovered, if it shoots directly, it will be detected by the thunder pattern golden willow, and it can only be used in this way.) ）

"Meow~" (It's just that this electric rabbit is lucky, and he didn't die.) ）

Ziyun took over the conversation and looked at the controlled electric striped rabbit.

"Let it go, we already know the situation." Xu Ran said softly, "It seems that Ziyun's resources are to be obtained, and there are other troubles. ”

He took a deep look in the direction of the Thunder Valley.

From this position, a towering part of the canopy of the thunder-striped golden willow can be faintly seen.

Originally, Xu Ran thought that the Thunder Pattern Golden Willow was the last hurdle for them to obtain the Extinction Thunder Guide, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Let's get here today."

He spoke softly, and returned the same way with the four little ones.

When the four pets walked to the position where the twelve controlled the earth spirit mouse, Cancan couldn't help but stop again and kept looking in the direction where the earth spirit mouse had left.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ran spoke curiously.

"Cha~" (I feel that the breath of the earth spirit mouse is gone.) ）

"Meow~" (I was taken aback by us, I guess I have already run to other places.) ）

Ziyun waved his claws absently.

Twelve and the stars didn't take the matter seriously either.

"Cha~" (Probably.) ）

Cancan thought for a while and nodded, no longer dwelling on this issue.

One person and four pets quickly disappeared in place.

Back in the store, recording the new discoveries on his adventure map, Xu Ran casually threw the adventure map aside, and then looked at the four small ones in front of him.

"Today, a lot of things happened." He smiled, "But the most important thing is that Twelve has successfully completed his evolution and returned to us. ”

"Chirp~" (That's right!) ）

Twelve nodded heavily, his sea-blue eyes radiant.

"The thunder dragon hiding in the back, don't worry too much." Xu Ran's voice paused slightly, "This extermination thunderbolt, we are bound to get it, we really can't do it, and we have the last killer weapon to use." ”

"Meow~" (What you are talking about... ）

Ziyun looked at Xu Ran and his eyes widened.

"Yes, this is it." Xu Ran carefully took out a cherished leaf, the blue-gold leaf was full of mysterious and magical lines, just looking at it made people dizzy.

"Chirp?" (Is this the leaf of a demi-saint?) ）

The twelve, who had already heard of this from the other three little ones, but had never seen it, came up with a look of surprise.

"Cha~" (It can easily change the rules around it.) ）

Cancan also came up, his face full of yearning.

I don't know when I can become so strong.

"This resource is the last killer weapon, and we should not use it until it is absolutely necessary." Xu Ran carefully put it away again, "There is still a month to go, all we can do is to work hard to become stronger." ”

"The strength is strong enough, so there is no need to rely on external forces."

"Meow~" (I still have three skills that have not been upgraded to four stars.) ）

Ziyun spoke immediately.

In a month's time, it can also allocate resources twice, and if it goes well, it will hopefully improve all its skills to four stars before the Exterminating Thunder is born.

The improvement of star rating is only one aspect, and more importantly, it is the improvement of skill proficiency.

"Meow~" (Next time the resources are allocated, my skills will be upgraded to the sun level one after another.) ）

Ziyun spoke with a serious face.

During this period of high-intensity training, the proficiency of its various skills has been greatly improved, and with the exchange of a large number of skill points, it is no longer a dream to increase the skill proficiency to the scorching sun level in advance.

And when all the skill proficiency is raised to the Blazing Sun level, and all the skills have reached four stars, Ziyun's evolution conditions will be basically achieved, and the evolution will not be far away.

"Sigh~" (I also want to have a second four-star skill as soon as possible.) ）

Not to be outdone, Xingchen spoke.

Starry Night's Prayer has already given it a taste of sweetness, and it's looking forward to the next second skill.

(I'm also...) ）

Cancan opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but he shrank his head weakly when he met the gaze of Ziyun and Xingchen.

"Cha~" (I'll cheer you on too!) ）

Damn, when will the next Emperor Race Evolution Route come!

"Chirp~" (It seems that I will also break through to the general rank as soon as possible.) ）

Looking at the three friends, Twelve had a thoughtful look on his face.

Under Xu Ran's casual addition, it has just evolved and broken through to the commander level, and it has reached the consummation of the commander level, and it is not bound by the bottleneck of the growth level, and it can advance to the general level at any time.

But it can be broken through, but it doesn't mean that it must be broken through.

Having just gained a large number of new powers, the most important thing for the twelve at this moment is to consolidate and master these powers, and when they are fully controlled, it will be too late to advance.

"Jiu~" (I need to use the Super Training Zone!) ）

Thinking of this, Twelve spoke earnestly.

"I've given you the same permissions as Ziyun, Xingchen, and Cancan." Xu Ran raised his hand and gestured twice, "You can enter the training area at will, and the maximum training time per day is eight hours." ”

"Sigh~" (Let's go, let's go training together!) ）

The stars hissed, making a request to find a training partner.

Soon, the four disappeared into the room.

Looking at the room that had become empty again, Xu Ran smiled, slowly closed his eyes, and quickly fell into meditation.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Xu Ran left the four children who had worked hard all night in the room and came to the foster care area alone.

In the foster care area, Mr. Han, a system employee in charge of feeding, is feeding the residents in the foster care area.

"Hello boss, do you need a pan-fried steak of mine?" Mr. Han smiled and picked up a plate of fragrant meat and handed it to Xu Ran.

"What meat?" Xu Ran asked vigilantly.

"If you know, then boss, you probably won't have an appetite." Mr. Han shrugged his shoulders and put the meat back in his hand.

The corners of Xu Ran's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't forget the purpose of coming this time, "How is the situation of the Silver Quoak King in the past two days?" ”

"Very good." Mr. Han smiled, "Eat well, sleep well, play well, if you want to say that the only bad thing is that there is no pleasure value." ”

"Sure enough, it's still the same as before." Looking at the Silver Quall King who was enjoying the food not far away, Xu Ran sighed slightly, "Okay, I'll contact its beast master, you don't have to worry about this resident for the time being." ”

Except for Firefly in special circumstances, Silverquill King is the only foster resident in the store, and it is Xu Ran's obligation to make it live happily.

Although the Silverquill King was very happy everywhere, Xu Ran could completely pretend not to see the system's pleasure value reminder, but this was not what he wanted.

It's been like this for three days in a row, it's time to call Zong Hua.

"It's not my intention, though." Mr. Han shrugged, "But my workload is about to be cut in half." ”

"The foster care business will gradually get better, and so will the sparring partner." Xu Ran comforted casually, and quickly turned his head to the storefront.

After saying hello to the manager of the system, he rummaged through the drawer behind the counter and found the business card that Zong Hua gave him at that time, and dialed the phone.

"Hello, I'm Zonghua."

Not long after, Zong Hua's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Zonghua, this is the Xinghuo foster care shop, I am Xu Ran." Xu Ran took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Oh, it turned out to be Boss Xu, what's wrong? My Silverquill King is in good condition with you, isn't it? Zong Hua smiled heartily.

"No, it may not be in good shape." Xu Ran shook his head slightly, and his voice became a little more solemn.

On the other end of the phone, the smile on Zong Hua's face gradually disappeared.

He didn't speak, and immediately used the contract to contact the old guy in the Starfire foster care store.

"Silver, how does your life in the Spark Foster Care Store feel?"

Soon, the Silverquill King responded via contract induction.

"Everything here is amazing!"

Zong Hua: "??? ”

Excellent?

But why did Boss Xu say that the situation of his pet beast was not particularly good?

Under normal circumstances, the foster care store feels that there is no problem with the pet animal, and the pet animal itself feels that there is a problem.

Now it's the other way around.

"Okay, you stay for now." Zong Hua dropped a sentence with contract induction, and then picked up the phone receiver, "Boss Xu, are you still there?" ”

"I'm here." Xu Ran responded quickly.

"I just asked my pet beast through contract induction, and it said it was okay?" Zong Hua had a puzzled look on his face, "What do you think is wrong with it?" ”

"It's probably not easy to talk about it on the phone, but if you can, I'd like you to come over." Xu Ran's voice paused slightly, "After a few days of observation, I think it's pretending to be happy. ”

"This..."Zong Hua's face couldn't help but be a little more dazed, "Okay, I'll come over now." ”

He hung up the phone, sat up from the bed, and quickly got dressed and walked out of his room.

In the living room, his wife was tutoring her daughter to complete her homework, and when she saw Zonghua walking out, her daughter seemed quite happy, "Dad, are we going to the amusement park?" ”

"I'll go back in the afternoon, there's no hurry." Zong Hua smiled and shook his head, suddenly thinking of the phone call Xu Ran had made to him just now, and said tentatively, "Why don't we take the Silverquill King to the playground together?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the smile on her daughter's face disappeared, she pouted, with a little worry and fear on her face, and tears quickly rolled in her eyes.

"Isn't the Silverquill King fostered well? Don't take it with you. The wife sighed, "Xiao Ru was startled by the Silverquill King before, and now she occasionally has nightmares." ”

"Okay." Unable to resist his wife and daughter, Zong Hua shook his head, turned around and walked out of the house, "I'll go see King Silverquill." ”

Not long after, Zong Hua came to the Xinghuo foster care store.

Passing the dense queue of customers in front of the door, Zong Hua went straight into the store and soon saw Xu Ran waiting for him.

"Mr. Zonghua, please come here." Xu Ran took Zong Hua to the foster care area, and at the same time spoke, "Everything behaves normally in the foster care process, but our store has a special way to sense whether the pet beast is happy from the heart. ”

"And the answer is no." He looked at Zong Hua, who was listening attentively, "Your pet beast's happiness doesn't come from the heart, it's more like a pretend. ”

"You said before that if the Silverquill King wasn't happy, he would call you, so..."

"So you called me." Zong Hua took over the conversation, a confused look appeared on his face, "But why is my Silverquill King pretending to be happy?" ”

"You should know this better than I do." Xu Ran glanced at Mr. Zong Hua, "Can you tell me how long you have been fostering the Silverquill King, and why you have fostered the Silverquill King?" ”

"Is this...," Zong Hua recalled on his face, "The earliest foster Silverquill King was about half a year ago. ”

"You know, the Silverquill King is a race that is extremely cruel to its enemies when it fights, but it is very loyal to the Beastmaster."

"I am a combatant who often needs to fight alongside the Silverquill King, and I am no stranger to his murderous appearance, but my wife and daughter have only seen the Silverquill King at home."

"Once, he followed my daughter out and encountered a pet beast that was going crazy and attacking the surroundings." Zong Hua sighed, "King Silverquill chose to protect my daughter without hesitation, but the means were too cruel. ”

"When it tore the crazy pet beast to pieces, and then stood in front of my daughter covered in blood, my daughter was directly frightened and fainted."

"Since then, my daughter has often had nightmares, and my wife and I have no choice but to temporarily foster the Silverquill King for a while."

"This foster care has been foster care until now." Speaking of this, Zong Hua couldn't help but sigh.

"I understand that the Silverquill King has done nothing wrong, and the way it fights is already so brutal that it's hard to change, but I also can't watch my daughter get emaciated from nightmares every day."

"The only consolation is that the king of silver quills does not reject the arrangement of foster care, and he has always been very happy in the foster care store."

Zong Hua's voice paused, "The reason why I asked Boss Xu to tell me at any time if you find it unhappy is to let it always stay happy in the foster care place, so that I can feel less guilty about it, but..."

"But you tell me that its happiness is pretended."

"In the last foster care store, has the Silverquill King always been like this?" Xu Ran was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but ask.

"Not bad." Zong Hua looked at the Silverquill King who was constantly beating the stone pillars in the living area in the distance, running quickly, "In the last foster care store, the Silverquill King also lived like now. ”

"Perhaps, the Silverquill King doesn't like fostering, but he never said it." Xu Ran spoke softly.

Listening to Zong Hua tell the story of the Silver Quill King, he already had some guesses.

"Mr. Zonghua, is there a possibility that King Silverquill doesn't want to scare your daughter when he comes home, and he doesn't want to make you blame yourself more in the process of foster care, so he keeps pretending to be very happy?"

"This..."Zong Hua's body shook, and his expression instantly became complicated.

He looked deeply at the old fellow not far away, and fell silent.

Before Xu Ran told him this, Zong Hua had always thought that his Silverquill King was easy to satisfy, so he was fostered outside and lived very happily every day.

And now, Xu Ran told him that his pet beast was not so happy, and it also made him reflect on the performance of the Silverquill King in the past six months.

Under intentional reasoning, Zong Hua also found some unreasonable points from the performance of the Silverquill King in the past.

In his heart, he has gradually believed Xu Ran's speculation.

An inexplicable sourness welled up in his heart, making Zong Hua's eyes a little red.

"You guy!" He couldn't help but rush towards the Silverquill King quickly.

The Silverquill King, who was immersed in his own hard performance, sensed a familiar aura approaching quickly, and only then did he realize that Zong Hua was coming.

A look of imperceptible surprise flashed in the depths of its eyes, and it wanted to rush to meet it at the same time, but it quickly resisted.

Well... You can't let the Beastmaster feel that he is very excited, excitement means that he is not happy here, and he must not let the Beastmaster see this.

Thinking of this, King Silverquill continued to hammer the stone pillar with a straight face, and waited until Zong Hua was about to get closer, then Shi Shiran stopped.

As everyone knows, all its actions are under the observation of Xu Ran and Zong Hua.

Under the careful observation, the careful mind of the Silverquill King was full of flaws.

"Silver, you're not having a good time here, are you?" Zong Hua was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and hugged the Silverquill King heavily, "Why don't you tell me?" ”

“… Roar? ”

The Silverquill King's heart trembled, and he quickly showed a blank and puzzled look, as if he was puzzled why his beast master said this.

"Don't pretend, I know it all." Zong Hua's eyes were even redder, and his tiger eyes were full of tears, "It's me who can't stand you, and you've been wronged during this time." ”

Hearing the Beast Master's sincere words, King Silverquill understood that the other party already knew the truth.

It was silent for a moment, then stopped pretending to be lost.

"Come home with me!" Completely confirming the previous speculation from the expression of the Silver Quill King, Zong Hua spoke without hesitation, "We will no longer foster it. ”

A flash of light quickly flashed in the Silverquill King's eyes, but then it dimmed again, and it shook its head vigorously.

"Roar~"

I'll scare Ru when I go home.

"But you're also part of the family." Zong Hua and the Silver Quill King looked at each other, "Xiao Ru's problem, I will find other ways to solve it." ”

"Maybe you can ask a psychiatrist to enlighten her."

"You saved her, she shouldn't be afraid of you."

This time, Zong Hua's attitude was extremely firm.

Thinking that the Silverquill King couldn't go home in the past half a year, and always pretended to be very happy in order not to worry him, he felt a heartache at this moment.

Whatever he says, he must make up for the debt in his heart.

"Psychiatrist..."Hearing Zong Hua's words, Xu Ran showed a thoughtful look.

After a moment, he suddenly spoke, "Mr. Zonghua, if you need to enlighten your daughter, I may be able to help. ”

"Oh?" Zong Hua's eyes lit up, "Boss Xu, do you have a way?" ”

"I have a super-powered pet beast, maybe I can find a way to enlighten your daughter." Xu Ran smiled, "Do you want to try it?" ”

"Is it a super pet beast... Pet beasts of this attribute do have some abilities that enlighten the spirit. A look of anticipation appeared on Zong Hua's face, "I didn't expect Boss Xu that you still have such a pet beast, so, then please." ”

"Little things." Xu Ran shook his head slightly, "Since the Silverquill King is no longer fostering, then I will refund you the overpaid foster care fees, and then we can set off." ”

"The money doesn't have to be returned." Zong Hua shook his head without hesitation, "If it weren't for Boss Xu, I wouldn't have found out about the problem of silver until now, and this extra foster care fee would be a thank you gift." ”

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Xu Ran smiled.

When the two returned to the store, the four were already waiting.

Xu Ran contacted Twelve in advance through contract induction, while the other three only learned about the situation and wanted to go together one by one.

"Twelve, you should know the situation, can you enlighten the other party?" Xu Ran asked casually.

"Chirp~" (No problem at all!) ）

Twelve's expression was tinged with pride.

Before it completed its evolution, it was able to easily erase the psychological shadow of others with the order of no signs, and now it has evolved into a deep sleeping bird, and it has more abundant means, such a small thing is too simple.

Seeing Twelve's confident appearance, Xu Ran looked at Zong Hua on the side with a smile.

"In that case, we can go to your house."
