0032 Tame
The stream flows, the insects chirp and flutter their wings, and the reeds sway with the night wind.
In the midst of peace, Chu Ying, Mi Duoduo, and Bubu's eyelids continued to sink, all of them were a little sleepy.
Only Li Ming was very excited about the acquisition of [Blue Bear Arm Strength], and he looked energetic.
Bang~Bang~...
The sound of heavy stomping on the ground was heard, from far and near.
Mi Duoduo leaned his ear to the ground, listened for a moment, and the cat's paw drew an oversized outline out of thin air.
Signaling the approaching monster, judging by the sound of stepping on the ground, the size is definitely not small.
To be safe, the two cats got up and began to dig in the ground, trying to use the pit to further conceal themselves.
Li Ming rubbed back and forth on the mud floor, creating depressions.
Half of the body quickly dived into the mud, as if it had become one with the ground.
Chu Ying looked left and right, and felt that she had no good means of concealment, so she could only retreat in a crawling way.
Use the deeper shade of the reeds to hide your tracks.
Bang~Bang~...
Three-toed claws covered with yellowish scales that step into the mud and leave deep paw prints.
The white curly fluff on the outside of the limbs, as well as the claw blades that were erected and retracted, made Li Ming, who was crawling, recognize the type of monster even if he didn't see the whole picture.
The corpse of the Blue Bear Beast has been covered up with deodorization balls and odor balls, why does the Thunderwolf Dragon still come?
Just when Li Ming was puzzled, a dense sound of flapping wings sounded.
Countless bright blue points of light emerged from the reeds and the surrounding jungle, converging towards the place where the Thunderwolf Dragon was.
The banks of the stream were instantly illuminated.
A cluster of thunder light insects gathered in the shape of a group, halfway through the flight, suddenly stopped, hovering over Li Ming.
Li Ming raised his hand slightly, stretched out a finger, and pointed at the insect cluster with an unkind gaze, signaling you to hurry up and give me a farther death.
Bang~
A flash of blue lightning surged up at his fingertips.
Yes?
Li Ming was also shocked when he saw this.
I thought that this might be a side effect of eating thunder light insects, and my body was electrified?
Whoa~Whoa~...
At this time, the roar of the thunder wolf dragon sounded, and the hovering thunder light insect group quickly flew away as if it had been strongly inspired.
Yikes! Yikes! Syllable! Syllable! ...
Under the convergence and charging of countless thunder light insects, on the arched back of the thunderwolf dragon, multiple thick electric rays intertwined with each other, crackling and exploding.
Now that it can be confirmed that this Thunder Wolf Dragon is not here for the corpse of the Blue Bear Beast, Li Ming's nervous mood relaxed slightly.
The body turned, and the thunderwolf dragon ran in the direction it came.
Strange, it doesn't look like it's fighting, what are so many thunder light bugs summoned for?
Li Ming, who was in doubt, propped his arms on the ground, rubbed out of the silt pothole and began to move, passing the news that the Thunderwolf Dragon had left to the other members of the team.
A short time later, the team regrouped among the reeds.
"It's dangerous."
Bubu, covered in mud, said happily.
"Although the guild has confirmed that the meow was witnessed, let's submit the information about the encounter."
At Midodo's suggestion, the team compiled the information they saw.
"It's so oppressive, I feel like I'm going to stop breathing."
Chu Ying let out a sigh of relief.
"That's right, if you want to face the Thunderwolf Dragon, you need at least extraordinary courage."
Li Ming agreed.
The team continued to hide and squat, driving away the three approaching dog dragons, and the scene fell silent again.
About two hours later, a "Marutori" with human legs poked into the reeds.
"Could that be..."
Chu Ying said unconvinced.
"It must be him."
Li Ming confirmed.
"Meow here!"
Midodo shook the reeds vigorously and gave guidance to the investigators wearing Bionic Pill Bird equipment.
Soon, the humanoid Marutori was lying on his stomach in the reeds.
"Your team is experienced enough, if it weren't for the guidance of this Meilu, even I wouldn't have been able to find out, let me introduce myself, the field investigator of the Jieyun Underground Cave Branch, Volo, who is known as the master of disguise, is me."
After Volo finished speaking, he pushed Marutori's neck back, and the head of a middle-aged man poked out of his wooden chest.
"Hello Volo Investigator, I'm the two-star hunter Chu Ying, thank you for coming to verify the contract."
Chu Ying also introduced herself.
"You're the only one standing here... The rest of the group must have been sent back to camp by catcart?"
Volo speculated.
"No, everyone is here, hello Volo, I'm Li Ming, and I'm also a two-star hunter."
Volo turned his head sideways, looked at the slightly raised mound of dirt on the side, and exclaimed, "What a powerful concealment method." ”
"It's okay... Wait a minute. ”
Crash~
The shell of the hardened mud pile shattered, and a fist clenching a hunting pact stretched out.
"Very good, the area around is very dangerous at the moment, you can continue to stay here, I will come to inform you after the certification is completed."
After Volo finished speaking, he got up, lowered his head and clasped Marutori's neck, and then moved towards the corpse of the blue bear.
Rattan netting masking, smell masking, the squad has been completed.
The certification process was quickly completed, and Volo stamped the seal.
"Happy cooperation, thanks to the efforts of the ruthless team for ecological stability."
With that, Volo handed the contract into the hole in the dirt pile.
"Now you can evacuate, leave it to me."
Volo informed.
"Investigator Volo, you've got a feather that has fallen off."
After Mi Duoduo reminded him, he helped pick it up.
"Thanks for the reminder, just help stick to your buttocks... Yes, that's... I would like to inform you that if the team is not in a hurry, they can try to bring two wild pill birds back, which can not only reduce the load, but also sell them for a good price, of course, this is under the premise of ensuring safety. ”
Volo gave advice.
"Thank you, you should also be safe."
After Li Ming waved goodbye, the team marched towards the camp.
"Strange meow, why did Investigator Volo say that taking Marutori back would reduce the weight?"
Mi Duoduo asked puzzled.
"Because it's a living Marutori, and it can help carry the supplies."
Li Ming explained.
"Oh! So that's how it was! ”
Midodo was stunned.
"If you bring it back to the base, you can sell it as a pack monster, so it should be worth a lot of money."
Chu Ying thought about it.
"The price should not be low, but domestication is not the same as hunting, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to learn before it is possible to master it."
Li Ming voiced his concerns.
"You can start with food, and Marutori's favorite thing to eat is thunder light insects."
After Bubu finished speaking, together with Chu Ying Mi Duoduo, he cast a look at Li Ming.
"It all depends on what I do? I've eaten thunderbolts, but that doesn't mean I can tame pills. ”
Li Ming said helplessly.
"Li Ming is right, but now that the hunting contract has been reached, everyone can try to domesticate the pill bird by the way while gathering in the wild, if it can't be domesticated after the collection reaches the demand, then there is no loss in giving up directly."
Chu Ying expressed her opinion.
"That's a good idea, I agree."
Li Ming agreed.
On the second day, the team rested well in the rotation duty, completed preparations at noon, and set off.
Herbs, honey, blue mushrooms, seeds of strange powers, rod-shaped bones, spiders' nests, earth crystals...
The team scavenged through the low-risk areas designated by the map, collecting and loading them into their backpacks as long as they were useful materials.
When encountering other hunter squads or gatherers, materials will be exchanged according to the needs of both parties.
This feeling of picking up money in the wild made Li Ming very happy.
If there are shortcomings, it is the limited load carrying capacity of its own load, the inability to pack everything away, and the long material generation cycle.
"I'm so tired of meow~"
Mi Duoduo unloaded the bulging bag larger than himself and sat down on the ground to rest.
"Compared to the sand plain, the ecological resources here are really rich."
Li Ming sighed.
Rustling~
Hearing the sound of the bushes, the team immediately became vigilant.
But when they saw that it was a pill bird watching from the probe, the eyes of all the people became hot.
Marutori, who sensed that something was wrong, quickly retracted his head.
The team used rattan nets to cover the bulging backpacks and began to track them.
Beside a shallow beach in the woods, the team spotted seven marubirds gathered together.
In terms of taming methods, since no one in the team has any experience, they choose to use their own good ways to carry out research and development attempts.
Whoever really works, the rest of the members will follow suit.
"We went to Meow."
After Bubu finished speaking, Yu Miduoduo walked out of the bushes together.
"Come on, let's watch 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.
"Love... Will this work? ”
Chu Ying didn't know how to feel it.
"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."
Chu Ying informed.
"It's okay, don't worry to practice boldly, I'm still here."
Li Ming encouraged.
Oh~Oh~Oh~...
Woo ~ Woo ~ ...
Bubu beat the waist drum, and Midodo played the trumpets.
Although the Marutori flock was not too frightened, they were still shocked by the actions of the two cats.
Before the blowing was finished, he fled along the shallows.
"Don't blow Midodo, Marutori has run away."
Bubu Cat's Paw pressed the horn and said helplessly.
"Meow who should have danced first."
Midodo summed up the reasons for the failure.
"No, meow, the main reason is that my fried thunder light insect has failed, otherwise it will definitely attract Marutori."
Bubu sighed.
After the two cats returned dejectedly, it was Chu Ying's turn to try.
She first seduced the thunder light insect in the insect net, and after introducing a Marutori to a closer distance, she jumped up and pounced on Marutori's back.
The feathers are scattered and the screams are incessant.
The panicked Marutori kept running fast, and finally jumped on both legs and fell into the shallows.
One person and two cats in the watch, their heads constantly moving sideways from side to side.
When Marutori, who continued to run back and forth, was exhausted, he finally slowed down and hung his head to rest.
Pap~Papa~...
Chu Ying reluctantly pinched the lightning insect that flashed with electric sparks, and delivered it towards Marutori's beak.
Marutori raised his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the delivered thunder light worm in one gulp.
After that, Marutori was no longer as panicked as before, and he didn't seem to care so much about Hatsuei on his back on his back.
"It's a bit like my thinking, but the details are not the same as the concept..."
Li Ming felt that Chu Ying's actions were smooth, and he obviously considered every step.
"It's not the same there?"
Bubu asked curiously.
"She took advantage of Marutori's fear, and when Marutori's panic passed, she realized that the other party had not hurt her, so she felt trust and dependence."
Li Ming explained.
"And what's your way?"
Boo asked eagerly.
"I like to make Marutori feel happy, which creates dependence."
Li Ming informed.
After putting the rope around Marutori's neck, Hatsuying tried to pull it away.
After resisting a few times, Marutori finally gave in and marched with him.
"Meow! Chu Ying is so powerful. ”
Bubu said excitedly.
"It's just lucky, it seems to be a little afraid of you, and we have to keep a certain distance before we fully adapt."
After Chu Ying finished speaking, she took Marutori away to the side.
At this time, all eyes fell on Li Ming.
"Chu Ying, your method is very good, but I still want to try my own."
"Well, come on."
Chu Ying gave encouragement.
"Li Ming is really persistent, meow, he wants to use his own methods."
Bubu said with emotion.
"I'm sure he can make it."
Midodo responded.
"I don't feel very good, after all, Chu Ying has optimized the process perfectly."
Bubu felt that Li Ming was a little stubborn, and there was no practical way to achieve such a thing as making Marutori feel happy.
"Wait and see, meow."
Mi Duoduo clenched his claws and said unconvincedly.
After watching for a moment, Li Ming picked out a smaller pill bird.
It is also attracted by thunder insects to induce them to stray from the group.
Li Ming swooped forward, but instead of jumping on his back, he landed under Marutori.
Before Marutori could get scared, he noticed that the joints of his feet and claws were suddenly firmly grasped by something.
Call~
A few bright blue feathers fell.
Marutori suddenly noticed, and what he saw suddenly rose.
"Drink! Drink! Drink! ...”
In a burst of cheers, Li Ming, who was holding up the pill bird, turned back and ran fast on the shore of the shallows.
Marutori twisted his neck from side to side and looked at the sky, completely in a state of confusion.
Call~
Suddenly, Marutori suddenly landed smoothly.
The familiar sound of thunder insects flapping their wings sounded, and only then did he turn his head to check, and a cloth bag was buckled on his head.
Buzz~Buzz~...
Inside the cloth bag is a blue world illuminated by thunder bugs.
As soon as Marutori opened his mouth, a large number of thunder light insects flew into it.
Call~
Marutori was raised by the supporting paw again.
In the rapid gallop, a strong wind blew through the body, and the feathers trembled.
Vaguely, Marutori liked this feeling.
The short, vestigial wings try to spread outward, as if they were flying in the wind.
"Is this what Li Ming said about love..."
Looking at the stupid Chu Ying, she whispered softly.
"Marutori didn't resist at all... Impossible meow. ”
Bubu, who stood still, quickly shook his head in denial.
"Uh... I'll just say that Li Ming can meow. ”
Seeing such a surprising taming method, Mi Duoduo was also shocked.
The turnaround run stopped, and the paws hit the ground.
Removing the cloth bag, the thunder light insects scattered and flew away.
The fantastic experience is over, and Marutori returns to reality.
After panting violently, Li Ming calmed down, wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked softly.
"Isn't it cool?"
Marutori couldn't understand human language, so naturally he couldn't respond, so he could only stand in place.
Li Ming didn't say much, turned around and left.
Marutori looked back at the tribe on the shore, and then at the backs of the humans in the distance.
He moved his paws and chased after him.
