After waiting for the scheduled time to go to sea, Gu Ling finished counting the equipment, then put on his backpack and took Xian Jiu downstairs to meet Gu Mingsheng.

In the living room on the first floor, Xiang Jinli and the three were also there.

After seeing Gu Ling come down, Xiang Jinli stuffed the plastic bag containing several small cakes in her hand into Gu Ling's hand: "Xiao Ling, bring these small cakes, if you feel hungry, take one out and eat it." ”

Gu Ling was a little confused: "Second aunt, my second uncle and I have only been on the island for a few hours, maybe we will be back at zero o'clock." ”

Xiang Jinli waved her hand: "It's okay to take it with you, what if the consumption of strength is too great and you are hungry?" ”

All right.

There is a type of hunger called "Your parents think you're hungry."

Gu Ling had no choice but to stuff the small cake into his backpack.

After saying goodbye to Xiang Jinli and the others, he set off for the port with Gu Mingsheng.

When I came to the port, there was already a small boat waiting to pick up people, and there was an acquaintance on board, who was the man in a suit who recruited the beast master in the cultural building during the day.

After the two got on the boat, the man in the suit immediately asked the crew to drive the boat and sail in the direction of the island.

Aboard.

The man in the suit looked at the island where his vision gradually became clear in the distance, and turned his head to Gu Ling and Gu Mingsheng and said, "That ghost pet beast usually appears at night, and it is elusive, so the time to land on the island is only set at 19 o'clock in the evening." ”

"Originally, among the beast masters of the accompanying fleet, there were also contract pet beasts to learn the skills of seeing through the class, but they couldn't win it in the first fight, the IQ of that ghost pet beast is very high, it seems to remember the appearance of those beast masters, as long as those few people appear, the ghost pet beast will not choose to show up, but directly go to riot others."

"So, you only have one chance, and if you don't succeed once, it will make it wary, and it will be even more difficult to deal with later."

Gu Mingsheng asked, "What race is that ghost pet beast?" Did you find it? ”

The man in the suit replied: "That ghost-based pet beast is elusive every time, and it uses smoke as a cover when it appears, so no one can see clearly, only a pair of big blood-red eyes are seen, but the body of that pet beast seems to glow green......"

Gu Mingsheng pondered for a moment and spoke: "Among the many ghost-type pet beasts in the Asia-Pacific region, there are many races with blood-red eye signs, such as the Blood Soul Eye Clan, the Nightmare Demon Clan, and the Gluttonous Ghost Clan......

"But it doesn't match the characteristics of the body that can glow green...... Could it be a nocturnal spirit moth? Yellow Springs Firefly? Or a jack-o'-lantern? ”

This is a bit contrary to the common sense in Gu Mingsheng's cognition.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Gu Ling couldn't help but be curious.

What is the origin of the ghost pet beasts on the island?

Seeing that the island was getting closer and closer, Gu Mingsheng turned his head and told Gu Ling: "After you go to the island, you must always follow me and don't get separated." ”

"Let Xian Jiu be ready to use the Recognition Skill at any time, once you successfully hit the ghost pet beast, you will run far away, and the rest will be left to me."

"Uh-huh, I know." Gu Ling nodded.

After a few more moments, the boat docked on the shore and the group landed on the island.

Gu Mingsheng opened the two yellow summoning arrays, the light dissipated, and a majestic white feather eagle and a domineering fiery rat appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Feeling that the two pet beasts exuded an aura stronger than the transcendental, Gu Ling instantly understood: "They are all general-level ......"

"Second uncle, has your pet beast space level broken through?"

In his memory, Gu Mingsheng was just a three-star beast master, but now the color of the summoning circle has changed to yellow, which means that he is already a four-star beast master.

"Yes, it was not long before the breakthrough." Gu Mingsheng nodded.

Gu Ling couldn't help but guess, was the task that Gu Mingsheng had spent so long doing before very special and important? So much so that the quest rewards afterwards are very rich?

After coming back, Gu Mingsheng not only casually gave three glazed strange wood fruits worth 600,000 yuan, but also became a four-star beast master, but I don't know if Gu Mingsheng has a contract with the fourth pet beast now.

However, even if it is a contract, it is estimated that it is still a pet beast cub, and it has not yet formed combat power.

As for whether he will directly contract with wild adult pet beasts, Gu Ling feels unlikely.

Most of the contract pet beasts of the beast master are cultivated from pet beast eggs or pet animal cubs, which not only helps to cultivate feelings, but also pet animal cubs are not trained, and their potential is in the untapped stage.

In contrast, wild adult pet beasts are not easy to establish feelings, and wild pet beasts have some kind of incurable dark wounds on their bodies because of survival reasons in the wild wanderings again and again, and they may overdraw their potential prematurely and forcibly evolve.

"White Feather Eagle, watch out for your surroundings." Gu Mingsheng let the white feather eagle fly into the air to guard, and then let the fiery rat follow Gu Ling to protect him.

"Fire Mouse, wait a minute, your main task is to protect Little Zero."

The fiery rat nodded, and then walked to Gu Ling's side.

Gu Ling took the opportunity to stroke a handful of dark blue hair on the back of the fiery rat, and the fiery rat only glanced at Gu Ling, then turned his head and dutifully acted as a bodyguard.

The fiery rat recognized Gu Ling and knew that this was the relative of the beast master, and his personality was mild, so he did not resist Gu Ling's touch.

[Name]: Fire Mouse

[Attributes]: Fire type

[Characteristics]: Fierce fire

[Qualification]: 425 (Advanced)

[Level]: Warrior level

[Skills]:

[Normal Skills]: Impact, Roar, Head Hammer, Smoke, Flash of Lightning

[Fire Skills]: Sparks, Flame Wheels, Jet Flames

[Ground Skill]: Dig a hole

[Introduction]: The temperament is generally mild, but once provoked, the flame momentum behind it will become fierce.

When he saw that the qualification of the fiery rat was 425 points, Gu Ling was secretly shocked in his heart.

In his memory, when Gu Mingsheng first got the unevolved body of the Explosive Mouse, he was only with a medium qualification of 390 points.

The racial qualifications of pet beasts are innate and almost impossible to change, and the only common way to increase them is through evolution.

After the pet beast evolves, there will be a qualitative change, and the racial qualification will also be improved.

"When Immortal Jiu evolves, the intermediate qualification of 398 points should be able to break through to the advanced qualification......" Gu Ling turned his head and glanced at Immortal Jiu, who was sitting on her shoulder, looking around at the moment, thinking secretly in his heart.

Evolution is different from pure strength level up.

The factors of the evolution of pet beasts are very complex, and there are no pet beast researchers who can thoroughly understand the evolution theory of pet beasts. Some pet beasts just slept and evolved directly; Some pet beasts evolve at the moment of life and death because of the strong desire to survive......

Evolution is generally more beneficial than disadvantageous, pet beasts of the same level, usually evolved pet beasts are stronger than unevolved pet beasts.

However, evolution also has some fly in the ointment, such as the pet beast that originally looked very cute, but after evolution, it became fierce and ugly, so that the immutable stone that can make the pet beast unable to evolve has been selling very well in the market.

Another example is the ghost pet beast gluttonous family, after evolving from the nightmare eater to the final evolution of the glutton, it was originally immune to the floating characteristics of all ground skills, and became a cursed body, although the cursed body has a 30% chance of the opponent being immobilized after being attacked, but it is not as good as the floating characteristic.

On the way, the man in the suit led the way while explaining the follow-up plan:

"We have investigated in advance, and the hiding place of the ghost pet beast is likely to be in the abandoned house in the east, and we will arrange for workers to deliberately work there later, make a noise, and lure the ghost pet beast over."

Gu Ling asked, "After the ghost pet beast appears, it will attack those workers, right?" ”

Man in the suit: "Yes." ”

"That can make my Xianjiu hide, and when the worker pretends to escape, lure the ghost pet beast over, so that the recognition skill can be easier to hit." Gu Ling proposed.

"This is a good solution, and we will fully cooperate with it." The man in the suit nodded.

Taking advantage of the fact that he hadn't gone to the abandoned house area yet, Gu Mingsheng said to Gu Ling: "When the beast master walks in the wild, he usually puts one or two pet beasts outside, and he will also leave one or two pet beasts in his pet beast space. ”

Hearing this, Gu Ling subconsciously glanced at the white feather eagle flying in the sky, as well as the fiery rat walking beside her.

Looking closely at the flight trajectory of the white feather eagle, it has always been in the direction of the group, constantly turning in circles in the air.

Each time, I flew over in advance to find out the route I was going to take, and I was also vigilant about the movements in the surrounding area.

And the distance between the fiery rat and Gu Ling is very close, there is only a gap of two or three steps, and from time to time he will look back at the situation of the two.

"The pet beast that is placed outside, protecting the safety of the beast master is the primary responsibility, and always be alert to all kinds of dangers that may arise around you, whether it is to find the way or break off, these jobs need to be done by the pet beast."

"With the beast master as the center, the two pet beasts stand in front of the other and one behind, so that whether there is danger in front or behind, the pet beast can resist it at the first time, and the beast master only needs to walk on the safe route that the pet beast has checked and is not dangerous."

Gu Ling felt a little itchy in his hands.

If it weren't for the situation, she would have wanted to take her notebook out and take notes.

"Mi woo~" Xian Jiu gently rubbed Gu Ling with his head, and the cat's pupils were full of seriousness.

Don't worry!

Ben Meow will protect you~

Gu Ling smiled and touched Xian Jiu's head: "Okay." ”

Fifteen minutes later.

The group came to the designated abandoned housing area.

Here, there were already seven or eight workers left behind beforehand.

After seeing the man in the suit coming, he immediately began to turn on the machine.

Gu Ling looked around and hid Xian Jiu in an empty cardboard box, the top of the box was just a void, and Xian Jiu only needed to jump lightly to come out.

Afterwards, Gu Ling placed Xian Jiu and the cardboard box next to an aisle, and then turned his head and ordered a few workers: "Wait a minute, you guys run this way." ”

"Okay." The workers replied.

When everything was ready, the extra others found a place to hide nearby, quietly waiting for the arrival of the ghost-type pet beast.

"Rumble—"

The sound of the machine running was heard all around, and it was unusually noisy and harsh in the otherwise silent night.

Gu Ling, who was hiding in the shadows, held his breath and stared, his eyes fixed on the running machine, and his afterglow kept scanning everything around him.

Rustle Rustle –

The shadows of the surrounding trees are scattered, forming dappled shadows on the ground.

Time passed little by little, and in the darkness, something seemed to be speeding towards this side.

The fiery rat beside Gu Ling seemed to feel something, arched his body slightly, and a trace of murder appeared on his face.

At this moment, a cloud of black mist erupted from the nearby abandoned house, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye, and surging in the direction of the machine.

In the black mist, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared!

"Ahhh The monster is coming! ”

"Run!"

“……”

Several workers were so frightened that they began to run in all directions, but they didn't forget Gu Ling's words, and ran in the direction of the cardboard box intentionally or unintentionally.

The monsters in the black mist followed suit, chasing after the workers.

Inside the carton, Xian Jiu stared closely at the black mist blood eyes that were getting closer and closer through a gap, and when the black mist was about to envelop a worker, Xian Jiu immediately jumped out of the carton and used his ability to see through.

A faint blue light flashed from the cat's pupils, as if there was an invisible ray, piercing through the heavy black fog and locking the "monster" inside.

“…… Boom? ”

In the black mist, the monster let out a strange sound that seemed to be confused.

In the next second, in the eyes of everyone, the black mist monster that could not be seen clearly gradually revealed its figure.

Gu Ling looked from afar, and for a moment he felt blinded.

Because this monster is like a large balloon that emits green light, the surface of the 'balloon' has a pair of blood-red eyes and a large mouth of blood.

Red with green...... It looks weird and funny.

"White Feather Eagle! Use wings to attack! ”

The white feather eagle in the sky heard the command and quickly swept downward, a pair of powerful big wings lit up with white light, and slashed towards the 'monster' in the black mist!

Boom!

The 'monster' couldn't dodge and was slashed out of the black mist with a single blow.

"Xiao Zero, you take Xianjiu to retreat first!" Gu Mingsheng only had time to explain this sentence, then immediately rushed out and continued to command the white feather eagle to attack:

"White Feather Eagle, use air slash!"

The 'monster' came to his senses and rolled on the ground several times before he could avoid the air slash.

At the same time, Gu Mingsheng raised his hand and played a summoning array, summoning his third pet beast and blocking the rear of the 'monster'.

Gu Ling picked up Xianjiu who had slipped over and glanced over there.

Gu Mingsheng's third pet beast is Walilang of the fighting department, no wonder it was not released in advance.

Normally, the skills of the fighting system are ineffective against the ghost pet beast, but the mysterious pet beast is now hit by Xianjiu's recognition skill and is in a short-term entity state, at this time, the fighting system of Wali Lang can attack the mysterious pet beast.

"Varielang! Approaching the past! Use Split Tiles! ”

“……”

How the battle was in the future, Gu Ling didn't continue to look at it any longer.

Instead, he listened to Gu Mingsheng's words, opened the way by the fiery rat, and fled the scene quickly with Xianjiu in his arms.

"Whew... Whew..."

After passing through a dense forest, Gu Ling came out from the other end.

At this time, the sound of fighting in my ears was already very small.

Gu Ling had time to observe the situation around him.

It was too dark nearby, even if there was a flame lighting on the back of a fiery rat next to it, the visibility was not high, so Gu Ling took out a flashlight from his backpack.

After the flashlight was turned on, Gu Ling shone around.

Halfway up the mountainside not far away, there was a blurred black shadow, and the light of the flashlight shone through, and Gu Ling vaguely saw that it was a small single-family house.

However, the house looked old and dusty, the white paint around the walls was almost gone, and there were all kinds of moss and greenery all over it.

Gu Ling's arm tightened slightly, and he hugged Xian Jiu in his arms a little tighter: "This house looks like it has been around for many years, its appearance and structure are not the same as those of the abandoned housing area, and it looks like it will collapse at any time......"

And, the big night feels more like a haunted house.
