Bishugang Reserve, back entrance.
A capable girl wearing protective work clothes and a single ponytail pushed open the iron door and walked out.
Stopping on the side of the road, the girl would look from time to time to see if there were any new vehicles or pedestrians on the road in the distance, and then she would take out her mobile phone in her pocket and flick her fingertips.
Another girl walked out of the door. She looked a few years younger. She took a few steps closer and said, "Sister, today is the day when the new mission leader is coming, right?"
Fang Yue's eyes were fixed on the mobile phone in her hand. The mobile phone interface was staying on the call interface: "Well, the time is set for today."
Fang Miao stretched her neck and looked around: "Then why hasn't it come yet? It will soon be the second mating time of the green peacock. The last mating event was harassed by the flamingos and was forced to be suspended. If this mating event is If it doesn’t go smoothly, then there will be only one last mating event left this year.”
Although there is a three-month preparation time for the critical mating period of the green peacock every five years, it only takes place on a full-moon night. There are only three mating events in three months.
"I hope the taskmaster this time can be more effective. If it still doesn't work... we can only increase the task level." Fang Yue sighed softly.
The difficulty of the Green Peacock mission is set at Level 2, and the commission for the mission is only 30,000 Dragon Mysterious Coins. No beast master with any ability is willing to take on such a mission with less money and more tasks.
The Fang sisters waited for half an hour and finally saw a taxi parked on the side of the road, and a tall girl got out of the car.
The girl was wearing an off-white sweatshirt, and a scarf of the same color covered most of her face. From a distance, she could only see a pair of eyes as bright as snow.
After getting off the car, the girl turned around and took out a black backpack from the car, slinging it casually on her right shoulder. On her left shoulder was a beautiful thunder-marked cat with white fur, its little paws tugging at the girl's scarf. , the beautiful and round cat eyes reveal a touch of agility and cunning, looking around curiously.
Leather boots made a slight, regular sound as they stepped on the road.
The girl walked towards the direction of the Fang sisters, raised her hand and pulled off the scarf covering her face to protect her from the wind, and raised a slight smile on her lips: "Hello, my name is Gu Ling, and I am taking over the Green Peacock mission this time. taskmaster."
After saying this, Gu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She went to the Pet Alliance branch in Qingyun City on the way to get protective gear and healing medicines. There was a traffic jam on the road, so she was delayed a little and almost missed the meeting time.
Fang Yue also showed a friendly smile on her face: "Hello, my name is Fang Yue, and I am an observer of the green peacock group in Bishugang Reserve. This is my sister Fang Miao, who is also the observer in charge of the green peacock group."
Fang Miao, who was standing next to him, looked at Gu Ling with some surprise.
Gu Ling looks younger than Fang Miao. He hasn't gone to college yet, right? Already have the strength to complete the second level mission of the Pet Beast Guild?
"This is a temporary observer's ID. Wearing this, you can freely enter and leave Bishugang Reserve during the mission. You will return it when the mission is over."
Fang Yue handed an ID card to Gu Ling and reminded: "Bishugang Nature Reserve is relatively wild, and there are many pet animals in it that have not retreated from their ferocity. They may not recognize people, so you should be careful. "
"Okay, thank you for reminding me." Gu Ling took the ID tag and put it on him.
Fang Yue looked at her sister and said, "Miaomiao, please take Gu Ling in first."
"Yes." Fang Miao nodded, and then waved to Gu Ling: "Come with me."
So, Gu Ling and Fang Miao entered the Bishu Gang Protected Area.
After coming in, Fang Miao immediately asked: "Gu Ling, what are you going to do with this mission?"
Gu Ling: "Take me to see the green peacocks first."
The old leader of the Green Peacock has been missing for such a long time, and I don’t know if he can be found again.
If the old leader cannot be found, then the selection of the new leader will be the top priority.
After receiving this task, Gu Ling did a lot of homework, including specifically checking the relevant information on the succession of Green Peacock leaders.
It would be great if the old leader is still there and can assist the new leader to take over his position.
But if the old leader is gone, it's not impossible to elect a new leader, it's just more difficult.
There are two hard conditions for becoming the "leader" of the Green Peacock:
First, the new leader is the strongest among the tribe.
Second, the new leader learns the [Prayer] skill.
In the history of Longxuan Kingdom, the green peacock was once worshiped as the legendary phoenix bathed in fire. Wherever the green peacock stopped, it would leave its mysterious "blessing" power, blessing the local area with good weather and good people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Later, with the deepening of research, people discovered that not all green peacocks have the "power to bless". Among a hundred green peacocks, maybe only one green peacock can learn to "pray for blessings" and has the legendary ability to pray for blessings. "The power of blessing".
On the way to the green peacock habitat, Fang Miao glanced at Gu Ling from time to time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Gu Ling, how old are you this year? Have you gone to college?"
Gu Ling: "I will be 17 years old after my birthday this year, and I am in my second year of high school."
Fang Miao clicked her tongue in surprise: "You are indeed younger than me, and you are now a two-star beast master? You are so awesome."
"I became a two-star beast master when I was a sophomore in college. My sister is a little better than me, and she became a two-star beast master in her freshman year."
Hearing this, Gu Ling couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Since you are all two-star beast masters, why do you still issue a guild level two task and find other beast masters to solve the problem?"
Fang Miao sighed: "We are observers of the protected area. We can only mediate conflicts between pet beasts. We cannot directly intervene, let alone injure the pet beasts. That's why we issued a mission to seek the assistance of external beast masters."
"In addition, each pet animal sanctuary has signed relevant treaties, promising to launch a certain amount of tasks to the pet animal guild every year. The more common tasks are to clean the sanctuary and help record pet animal data."
Gu Ling suddenly understood: "So that's it."
Fang Miao's eyes were curious: "Gu Ling, did you take this task because you were short of money?"
Gu Ling turned his head, glanced at Xian Jiu who was sitting on his shoulder, and smiled slightly: "This is just the second thing. I want my pet beasts to exercise."
"What is your second pet beast? Is it a warrior-level one? Or is this Thunder Seal Cat a warrior-level one?"
Gu Ling, who had come all the way in the car, asked the naughty ghost to go back to the pet space first for the sake of convenience.
Now when he heard Fang Miao ask about Naughty Ghost, Gu Ling summoned Naughty Ghost and introduced it to Fang Miao: "It's called Naughty Ghost. It's my second contracted beast. Its strength is at the level of a warrior."
As soon as the naughty ghost came out, he first floated around curiously, and then floated to the top of Gu Ling's head with an obedient expression. The little chubby hand grabbed Gu Ling's head and tilted his head to look at Fang Miao, who looked surprised at the moment. .
"This... what kind of pet is this?"
Gu Ling explained calmly: "There was a slight mutation when the Naughty Ghost evolved, which caused it to have two forms: the Evil Ghost and the Greedy Ghost."
"Jie Jie~" The naughty guy grinned at Fang Miao.
"Wow! So cool!" Fang Miao looked excited: "It's still different colors!"
"Thank you for the compliment, I think it's cool too." Gu Ling blinked.
"Jie Jie~"
The naughty ghost who was praised had a happy face and kept circling around the heads of the two people.
Not long after, the two came to a forest.
"...We're here. Ahead is the forest where the green peacocks live."
Fang Miao continued to lead Gu Ling into the forest.
Gu Linglu saw many green peacocks one after another, either flying past in the sky, landing on tree trunks to comb their hair, or pecking at fruits on the ground.
"The green peacocks over there were selected by my sister and I as seed players who may become the next leader of the green peacocks." Fang Miao pointed to a dozen green peacocks by a river.
Many of those green peacocks were combing their feathers in the water.
Gu Ling asked: "Can I observe and contact you up close?"
"OK."
Fang Miao picked up the whistle hanging on her chest and blew it gently.
The whistle sounded leisurely, and the green peacocks by the river turned their heads, seeming to be looking for the source of the sound.
When they saw Fang Miao, many green peacocks spread their wings and flapped them a few times, as if saying hello.
"Let's go over there."
Fang Miao took the lead and walked over, skillfully reaching out to stroke the nearest green peacock.
Gu Ling touched the protective vest that he had worn under his sweatshirt. After feeling a little relieved, he reached out to touch the green peacocks in front of him.
At the moment of contact, the various data of the green peacocks were included in the ancient beast control book.
【Name】: Green Peacock

【Name】: Green Peacock
[Attribute]: Flying system
[Characteristics]: Natural recovery (after leaving the combat state, abnormal status and physical strength will slowly recover)
[Qualification]: 380 (medium)
[Level]: Warrior level
【Skill】:
[Normal skills]: Shout, impact, high-speed movement, chanting
[Flying skills]: Wing attack, violent wind
After collecting several green peacocks in succession, Gu Ling compared the data of these pet beasts and began to think about it.
The batch of green peacocks selected by the Fang sisters are indeed good. Basically, they have mastered the most important [Prayer] skill. However, judging from the number of other attack skills mastered, the strength of these green peacocks is somewhat uneven.
After touching the tenth green peacock that learned the [Prayer] skill, the Ancient Beast Control Book automatically unlocked the authorized status of the [Prayer] skill.
Gu Ling's heart skipped a beat and he turned to look at the other green peacocks not far away.
Those are all green peacocks who have not learned the [Prayer] skill.
Suddenly, a bold idea came to Gu Ling's mind——
For uncontracted pet beasts, the Ancient Beast Control Book can teach up to two skills.
There are so many green peacocks here. She can select the strong green peacocks who have not learned [Praying] and teach them the [Praying] skill. In this way, wouldn't she be able to "create" a perfect candidate for the leader of the green peacocks?
"Which of the green peacocks here have the strongest combat abilities?"
Fang Miao pointed to a group of green peacocks on the other side of the river: "Those who are doing flight training over there are the ones with stronger fighting abilities in the group of green peacocks. They usually serve as guards for the group. When faced with the harassment of the flamingos, this group of people also The green peacock rushes to the front."
Gu Ling also looked over.
The green peacocks on the other side of the river were arranged in a neat team, flying back and forth in the air, and rushing down to the ground from time to time. The strong wind caused by them easily cut off branches.
This group of green peacocks are more fierce and powerful than the other green peacocks in terms of their momentum and eyes.
"……Huh?"
At this time, Gu Ling discovered that behind the training team of green peacocks, there was an obviously smaller pet beast.
"That...is the young green bird?"
Gu Ling took a closer look and confirmed that it was a young green bird.
The young green bird is the evolution of the small bird, and after the young green bird evolves again, it will become a green peacock.
When Fang Miao saw the young green bird, there wasn't much surprise on her face. She was even a little used to it, "Hey, this little guy is training again."
Gu Ling suddenly became interested: "What is going on? Why does this young green bird not move with other young green birds, but trains with the green peacocks?"
"The green peacock clan is generally very docile in character, but this young green peacock is different. It is more lively and active, and more competitive than other members of the same clan." Fang Miao explained.
"It is currently the strongest young green bird in the reserve, so it trains with the green peacocks."
Gu Ling turned his head again and looked at the young green bird being trained over there.
Although it was one evolution away, the young green bird was able to catch up with the training speed of the green peacocks without falling behind at all.
"It seems like the green peacocks are used to it too."
Fang Miao shrugged: "It's okay if you don't get used to it."
"This little guy has challenged the Green Peacock many times. Every time he was defeated, he became more frustrated and braver. Later, he gradually won more and lost less."
Gu Ling's face was shocked: "Can it defeat the evolved green peacock?"
Fang Miao nodded: "Yes, it's amazing."
"That's truly remarkable."
Although the strength advantage brought by evolution is not absolute, after the young green bird evolves into a green peacock, its wings will become more powerful and its size will increase significantly several times.
This young green bird was able to overcome these disadvantages and defeat the green peacock. The hard work behind it and its own qualifications are definitely not low.
"I also want to take a closer look at these green peacocks." Gu Ling said seriously.
The number of places for teaching skills in the ancient book of beast control is limited, and Gu Ling cannot be extravagant and just use up the teaching places when he sees a green peacock.
Furthermore, if too many green peacocks all learned the [Singing] skill overnight, it would not only attract too much attention, but also easily break the natural balance of Bishugang Nature Reserve.
No matter how docile the green peacock is, once it has excessive strength, it will also seize more habitats to reproduce.
Seeing Gu Ling's interest, Fang Miao blew the whistle again and called all the green peacocks across the river over.
This group of green peacocks were obviously wary of Gu Ling, an outsider. Fang Miao quickly said: "Everyone, her name is Gu Ling, and she is also here to help you get through the critical period of mating. Please get along well with her during this period." (This chapter) over)
