After being comforted by Fang Miao, the green peacocks finally looked at Gu Ling with less hostility and wariness.
Fang Miao smiled and touched the smooth feathers of the green peacock in front of her, then turned to Gu Ling and said, "Gu Ling, you can touch it too."
"Um."
While paying attention to the reaction of the green peacock, Gu Ling reached out his hand and tentatively touched the green peacock at the front.
Green Peacock subconsciously took half a step back, but quickly stopped and was touched by Gu Ling.
【Name】: Green Peacock
[Attribute]: Flying system
[Characteristics]: Natural recovery (after leaving the combat state, abnormal status and physical strength will slowly recover)
[Qualification]: 465 (Advanced)
[Level]: Warrior level
【Skill】:
[Normal skills]: Shout, impact, lightning flash, sand splash
[Flying Skills]: Peck, Wing Attack, Fierce Wind, Downwind, Air Slash
Gu Ling touched several green peacocks in succession. This batch of green peacocks indeed mastered several more attack skills than the previous batch of green peacocks.
However, none of these green peacocks have mastered the [Singing] skill.
Thinking of this, Gu Ling frowned slightly.
The green peacock who mastered the [Singing] skill was not top-notch in strength, but the top-notch Green Peacock did not master the [Singing] skill.
"Doesn't any of these green peacocks have singing skills?" Gu Ling looked at Fang Miao and asked.
Fang Miao shook her head in distress: "None of them."
"The chanting skill is a group amplification skill and has a strong auxiliary effect. It stands to reason that green peacocks cannot learn this skill, but every once in a while, one or two green peacocks will learn the chanting skill inexplicably."
"And most Green Peacocks who have learned the singing skill are generally not very proficient in other skills, and they can't even comprehend too many skills. This can be considered a pros and cons."
Gu Ling sounded a little surprised: "What's the reason?"
Logically speaking, if it can independently comprehend skills that do not belong to this race, the qualifications and understanding of this kind of pet beast will not be too low.
Why can't the Green Peacock, who has learned the rare advanced amplification skill [Singing], be unable to master more skills?
"Not sure." Fang Miao spread her hands: "However, many animal pet scholars who specialize in the study of green peacocks have put forward some opinions and speculations."
"The Green Peacock spent a lot of talent and effort to understand the [Singing] skill, so that it can no longer understand the other skills."
"It's like a bucket of water. The amount of water is fixed. If you use a bucket of water to water the flowers, there will be no water left to boil water for cooking."
Gu Ling turned to look at the green peacocks who had mastered the [Singing] skill: "So, these green peacocks have probably exhausted their talents? So they can no longer master other skills?"
Fang Miao: "The generally accepted statement is this."
Gu Ling retracted his thoughts. The most important thing right now was not to do research.
In the eyes of pet beast researchers, whether the green peacock can understand the [Singing] skill is an uncontrollable factor. However, Gu Ling has the ancient book of beast control, and she can now teach it to any green peacock present.
Gu Ling changed the subject: "By the way, it's been a while since you first released the mission. Have you found any new clues about the old leader of the Green Peacock during this period?"
Fang Miao sighed: "My sister speculates that the old leader of the Green Peacock should still be in the reserve, because all the surveillance outside the reserve did not capture the old leader."
"The green peacock will evolve into feathers before dying of natural old age. This process will last at least more than a month. The old leader of the green peacock disappeared on the 3rd of last month, which was just after the New Year's Day holiday. As soon as my sister and I came back, I discovered that the old leader of the green peacock was missing, and after questioning the other observers in the reserve and the green peacocks, I determined that he disappeared on the 3rd.”
Hearing this, Gu Ling fell into deep thought.
"Half a year ago, the Green Peacocks had a collective physical examination. The old leader's physical condition at that time was expected to last for a few more years." Fang Miao's tone was not very optimistic.
Although all the data showed that the old leader of the green peacock should not be dead yet, but now there is not even a bird feather in sight, any accident may happen, causing the old leader to die prematurely.
Afterwards, Fang Miao continued to take Gu Ling around the green peacock habitat to get familiar with the environment.
In the sky above, rows of green peacocks fly past from time to time.
The streamlined body and beautiful blue feathers look a bit shining in the sun, as if they have been coated with a light golden light.
Afterwards, Gu Ling made his request: "I want to take a walk around the green peacock habitat first to see if there are any new discoveries. In addition, I also want to observe which green peacocks have the ability to become the new leader."
"Okay." Fang Miao nodded: "In the past few days, my sister and I have been managing the green peacock habitat. The green peacock has a gentle temperament. Now that I know you are not an intruder, I will basically not attack you. of."
"However, there are habitats for other pet animals outside the green peacock habitat. Some of the pet animals have not very good tempers. Please be careful not to go too far."
After saying that, Fang Miao glanced at the Xianjiu on Gu Ling's shoulder, and above Gu Ling's head, the naughty ghost kept floating.
The naughty ghost's eyes are constantly turning, and he is full of curiosity about everything he can see in his habitat.
"Okay, I remember." Gu Ling replied.
Before coming to the protected area, Naughty Ghost was told by Gu Ling that after entering the protected area, he should always follow her to protect her safety.
All in all, even though he was very curious about the things around him, the naughty boy still resisted wandering around casually.
The naughty ghost floated for a while and landed on Gu Ling's head. The chubby hand pulled the scarf around Gu Ling's neck: "... Jie Jie~"
Guigui must protect the beast master at all times~
But it’s so boring QAQ~
Finally able to move freely, Gu Ling excitedly started to touch every green peacock that appeared in front of him in the habitat by observing the pet animals.
There are no wild pet beasts in the Bishugang Protected Area that exceed the warrior-level strength. Once a pet animal reaches the lord-level strength, it will be transported to a larger protected area.
Therefore, with the two protective gears on Gu Ling and the close protection of Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost, she could walk sideways in Bishugang Protected Area as long as she was not besieged by multiple warrior-level pet beasts at the same time.
…
A few hours later.
Gu Ling sat on the grass by the river.
Xianjiu jumped off Gu Ling's shoulders and rolled comfortably on the grass.
The naughty ghost floated around for a long time. Seeing that there were no green peacocks approaching, he happily imitated Xianjiu and rolled on the grass.
Even though the naughty ghost has no physical body and does not need to touch the grass, he still has a lot of fun.
Gu Ling looked at the green peacocks on the other side of the river who had just finished training and were resting, and thought about it:
"The green peacocks on the other side of the river are indeed the strongest green peacocks in the habitat... If there is no better choice, we can only choose a few from them and help them 'understand' the singing skills."
Gu Ling currently only has 10 spots left to teach skills. Although it is enough to teach 3 green peacocks, there are so many pet beasts here that can be touched at will. They are all worthless points. If you don't touch them, you will get nothing.
Moreover, the wool comes from the sheep.
After touching the pet beasts in the reserve, and then using the refreshed teaching skill quota on the green peacock, you can earn points for free without consuming the original teaching skill quota. This wave of profit is guaranteed.
"I've touched more than 500 green peacocks, and I've refreshed my quota for teaching skills once. Do you want to find a green peacock to try now..."
Gu Ling stood up and walked across the bridge across the river.
At this time, the green peacocks were resting quietly. Gu Ling walked over and touched the feathers of several green peacocks.
"boom……"
At this time, a sound came from the forest.
A young green bird fell rapidly from mid-air, its wings brought strong wind, and it used the [Air Slash] skill to slash towards a tree.
The dense branches on the tree swayed with a rustling sound, and many slender branches were cut off.
After the young green bird landed, its eyes were fixed on the big tree that had not fallen down in front of it, and it continued to take off and start a new round of attacks.
"Eh? This young green bird is still training?" Gu Ling had some surprise on his face.
Bang...bang...bang...
After several attacks, the big tree rooted in the ground was finally overwhelmed and felled to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Gu Ling suddenly thought of a question: "It seems that the data of this young green bird has not been included yet..."
The young green bird had been training and seemed to have never rested. Until the sun was about to set, Gu Ling did not find a chance to touch this special young green bird.
After dinner time, Fang Miao came over and asked people to go to the canteen to eat together.
After dinner, Gu Ling couldn't find Fang Yue, so he asked Fang Miao directly: "Can I move freely in the reserve at night?"
Fang Miao looked startled: "At night? Are you going out now?"
"Um."
Gu Ling expressed his thoughts: "The flamingo is usually active during the day and rests at night. I plan to go to the habitat of the flamingo twice now."
The target of Gu Ling's mission is the green peacock, and the flamingo has a big conflict with the green peacock, so he naturally needs to know something about the former.
and……
Gu Ling continued: "Fang Miao, during the day, you said that you had searched many places in the reserve, but you could not find any trace of the old leader of the Green Peacock. In fact, I feel that there is still one place that has not been searched. Then This is where the flamingos live.”
Flamingos have a violent temperament and a strong sense of xenophobia. They will fight in groups if they disagree. Even observers who have been exposed to flamingos for a long time can only wander around the periphery of the flamingo habitat and are rarely allowed to go deep into the hinterland of the habitat.
Therefore, the flamingo's habitat has not been thoroughly searched.
"this……"
This is something Fang Miao has never thought about.
If the old leader of the Green Peacock goes to the flamingo habitat, he will definitely be driven out by the flamingos immediately, and the noise caused by that will definitely not be small.
"Since you are going to the flamingo habitat, let me first ask a flamingo observer to go with you."
"Well, please."
"..."
After a while, Fang Miao came over with a man also wearing work clothes.
The man's name is Lin Jing. He is in his early fifties and is one of the observers of the Flamingo.
Lin Jing pushed a bicycle in front of Gu Ling: "The habitat of the flamingos is a bit far away, but the sound of motor vehicles is too loud and can easily disturb the animals in the reserve, so we can only ride our bicycles there."
"At night, some insect-type beasts will come out to look for food under the cover of darkness. When riding, be careful not to get too close to trees or bushes."
Lin Jing told Gu Ling all these precautions.
Soon, the three of them rode their bicycles to the flamingo's habitat.
But when we arrived at the outskirts of the flamingo habitat, we found many flamingos hovering in the air, and the sounds of birds were constantly heard.
"Strange……"
Lin Jing looked up at the many flamingos hovering in the sky, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "The flamingos generally don't have large-scale activities at night. Could it be that something happened?"
Gu Ling asked: "What does it mean for a general group of flamingos to suddenly have such abnormal collective activities?"
"There is an enemy attack, or they are besieging the enemy, but it cannot be ruled out that the flamingos are communicating in some way."
The three of them rode their bicycles for a while. They saw more and more flamingos nearby. They seemed to be wary of their surroundings. Lin Jing stopped first and said hesitantly: "These flamingos are... It’s emotionally unstable and we can’t go any further.”
"If we go any further, we will easily be discovered by the flamingos, who will attack us as intruders."
After thinking about it, Gu Ling nodded: "Okay, let's go back first."
Seeing that Gu Ling did not insist on going in, Lin Jing also breathed a sigh of relief: "If you still want to go in during the day, you can come to me at any time."
If Gu Ling hadn't been present, Lin Jing would have gone deeper and found out the reason for the restlessness of the flamingos.
only……
Although Lin Jing knew that Gu Ling was the one responsible for the mission, he really couldn't make such a decision in view of Gu Ling's obviously young and immature face, which was about the same age as his daughter.
"..."
After the three of them exited the flamingo habitat, Gu Ling turned to the naughty guy next to him and said, "Naughty guy, I'll give you a task now."
"Now you sneak into the flamingo's habitat and use a tablet to record the situation inside the habitat. It's best to figure out the reason for the abnormal activity of the flamingo tonight."
"Jie Jie~" The naughty ghost nodded, then turned around and drifted away.
Xian Jiu, who was sitting in the front basket of the car, was a little envious, but thinking that he was next to the beast master now, he immediately cheered up and became more vigilant about the surrounding situation.
Xianjiu's idea was very simple: If a flamingo suddenly flew out in the dark and took the beastmaster away, wouldn't it be very embarrassing for me?
Fang Miao curiously looked at the naughty ghost's 'green skin' that became more conspicuous at night, and couldn't help laughing: "Your naughty ghost is dressed in green. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous to lurk in like this?"
"Of course there is a way." Gu Ling smiled slightly.
Before meeting Gu Ling, Naughty Ghost had been wandering in the wild for decades. Not to mention other things, he had done many things like hiding his body to avoid wild animals that lived in groups.
Naughty people are very familiar with this.
Seeing that Gu Ling was so confident, Fang Miao had no choice but to believe it.
