Volume 4: The Rise of the Dragon Chapter 372: Capture and Taming Plan
(I have to cover for a colleague again tonight. I originally wanted to be lazy all day, but now I’ve failed again. Hurry up and code this chapter.)

It wasn't until the white shadow fell to the ground that He Lin and others saw what this guy looked like:
The head is like a wolf, the tail is like a dog, the front legs are short and thick, and a pair of paws is as big as a cattail fan; the hind legs are strong and thick, which can often support the weight of the body. The whole body is white, and a pair of vertical skin with scales can be seen under some sparse hair. The orange-red pupils in his eyes flashed with a cunning and ferocious look.
No wonder this guy has been hiding behind the scenes and giving orders. It turns out that its front legs are short and its back legs are long. It can't run fast at all. If someone discovers it, it will definitely be beaten to death.
This is a monster.
As the saying goes, wolf becomes cunning and wolf is also a kind of mutated wolf. Legend has it that only one wolf can be born among the offspring of a thousand wolves and a thousand foxes. It combines the cruelty and coldness of the wolf with the cunning and cunning of the fox. Yandu is very smart. Once a wolf is born in the wolf pack, he will definitely be regarded as the wolf pack's strategist. However, Yan was born with deformed limbs, short front legs and long hind legs, and had to be carried on the back of a wolf to move quickly. This situation was seen by people and the saying "wolf gangs work together" spread.
Since there are wolf-like creatures such as wolf-infused demons in the demon world, there will naturally be monsters similar to Ao. Ao's strength in commanding the wolf-infused demons will be increased several times.
However, although the wolf demon is extremely intelligent, its strength is not much stronger than other wolf-filled demons, otherwise it will not be discovered and injured at once. It seems that being able to become the leader of this wolf-filled demon group is entirely due to wisdom.
Yongxin's palm was very powerful. After being knocked away, the demon struggled hard for a long time, but he couldn't stand up at all. He could only turn his head towards them and bared his teeth, which were as sharp as daggers. He could not stop roaring in a low voice, threatening everyone. . It looked like he had injured his bones and was unable to move.
Yongxin didn't care about the threat of the demon, strode forward, kicked the demon away, and then raised his fist as big as Shabo. He punched the demon so hard that it was dizzy, making a whimpering sound, and arching its front paws as if it was bowing and begging for mercy.
Although it was not the first time for He Lin and others to see a monster, it was indeed the first time to see such a cowardly, timid and ferocious monster, and they couldn't help but marvel. They gathered around and commented on the monster as if they were watching the fun.
"Sir, this guy has been leading this group of monsters and he has hurt many people during this time. He is also an immature wolf cub. Why do you only catch but not kill him?" He Lin saw that Yongxin only injured the monster and then used his fingers to After tapping it a few times and placing a Buddhist mantra on its forehead, he put it on his shoulders and looked like he was about to take it away, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, yes, if this guy hadn't commanded the wolves just now, maybe a few of our brothers wouldn't have died." "Why don't you just leave it and kill it with a knife." "These monsters are not good things. They all deserve to die. ."~~~~~~The gangsters were talking about it. They had suffered a lot of casualties under the attack of the wolf-infused demons just now. They were still angry and they really didn't understand Yongxin's behavior. However, none of them had the guts to accuse Yongxin face to face. After all, they had just been saved in the world and their status and reputation were high, so even though they were angry and confused, they only discussed it privately.
Yongxin's cultivation has reached the realm of transformation. Although the voices of the gangsters were small, he heard them without hesitation. However, he did not get angry. Instead, he pinched the soft flesh of the back of the demon's neck with his hands and lifted the demon up. He said to He Lin: "Brother He, you are wrong. Yes, demons have indeed caused a lot of losses to humans, but it does not mean that all demons are enemies. A large number of demons must be eliminated. In fact, they are all very useful. Whether to kill or capture alive. For example, if this magic warding talisman does not contain a large amount of body materials of monsters, how can it be supplied to everyone in large quantities?
Don’t forget that the ancestors of the watchdogs we raise in our homes today were just wolves, but they were domesticated. The same goes for these demons. They are intelligent, have many unique abilities, and if they can be tamed, they are also good helpers for humans. Not to mention far away. Let’s just say that the Magic Bird, which has become popular in recent years, isn’t it a great convenience to mankind? "
The magic bird is a bird native to the demon world with a high IQ and an omnivorous habit. The magic crystal containing wind attributes in its body flies very fast and can use some small wind-based spells. However, the Magic Bird is a lower-middle-level existence in the food chain of the demon world. Even the largest and most powerful Magic Bird can only grow to half a leg high and has a wingspan of two meters. It can use some simple intermediate wind spells and is not one of those large raptors. Monster-like opponents are often treated as food.
Fortunately, the demon bird has a strong reproductive capacity and can grow quickly. It can eat most food and is widely distributed in the demon world. In addition, it lives in groups and is relatively united. It is easy to avoid being hunted in large numbers, so it does not worry about the danger of extinction.
But after all, it was in the demon world where competition was fierce and the environment was dangerous. The Magic Bird had arrived in the human world and its competitiveness had greatly increased. Those ordinary falcon-like raptors were no match for it at all. Except for those demon birds and bird monsters, there are few birds that can threaten the magic bird. In addition, the human environment is superior and the food is abundant. Within a few years, the number of magic birds has greatly increased, and it has become one of the most common monsters. Moreover, Magic Bird also has a very bad habit of bullying the weak. As long as the cats, puppies, chickens and ducks raised by ordinary people are seen by the Magic Bird, they will bully them when people are not paying attention, and some chickens and ducks will even be bitten to death. It became food for the Magic Bird.
It was only then that many people who had previously ignored this weak monster reacted and began to vigorously attack these magic bird flocks. However, Demonic Birds are flying monsters and it is really difficult for ordinary people to harm them. They ambush, sneak attack, set traps, fish for bait, dig out their nests, and even send out cultivators and mages to help. Various methods have been used, but they are still not very effective. These Demonic Birds seem to pass through During these days of living in the human world, I optimized my physique and stimulated my potential. I actually became smarter, and my flying speed became faster and faster, but I became more and more rampant.
Seeing that this kind of little monster is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, people are at a loss to do anything. Some cultivators even ask the masters of the Returning Void Stage to eliminate the evil for them. This proposal was naturally abandoned immediately. No matter how rampant the magic bird is, it is nothing more than a weak low-level monster; even because it has been at the low end of the food chain for a long time, there are no large animals in its diet. They usually eat some bugs at most. Are they just some small fish, shrimps, and birds smaller than it? Even because of the genetic imprinted in their bones, they have some fear of humans larger than themselves. As long as no one provokes them, they will never attack humans.
Generally speaking, although the magic bird is annoying, it does not pose a fatal threat to people. It is just as uncomfortable as scabies but not fatal. Who is the master of the returning stage? Which sect is not treated as a treasure and is used every day to practice in seclusion and discuss major sect matters. Where can one take action against this "scabies disease"? Even if it does take action, it can only be faced by demon sect elders or big devils or demon lords. Only demons show up. Even if there are many low-level demons like Demonic Bird, they are just a group of ants in the eyes of the Master of the Returning Void Stage. Why would they take action for such a trivial matter? So this suggestion was not supported at all.
Neither this nor that will work. In the end, the imperial court could only tell the people to strengthen the protection of livestock and be careful of small monsters like the magic bird. Human wisdom is infinite. Although there is no way to eradicate the magic bird, there is still a way to protect your home from these guys. So every household that raises poultry and pets has used their brains to come up with ways to protect their homes. . After a period of "actual combat" testing, several practical and effective methods finally came to the fore and were quickly promoted under the propaganda of the imperial court. In this way, the harm of the magic letter bird to ordinary people was also greatly reduced. After repeated encounters with the wall, the magic letter bird Birds also no longer frequently harm livestock and pets. After all, there is so much food and weak animals in the wild that there is no need to hang yourself from a tree. Gradually, people downplayed the threat of the Magic Bird.
Until one day, a witcher who was formerly a bird trainer accidentally got a few baby magic birds. Out of nostalgia, he kept these little magic birds at home and used the old bird training methods from time to time. Training the magic bird; anyway, the magic bird has long been regarded as a threat to humans. Even if someone sees it, it will not make a fuss. And the magic bird that has survived in the dangerous environment of the devil world has strong vitality and adaptability, so it is not afraid of being easy to feed. In this way, these magic messenger birds were raised by him.
It was also his luck that one day when he was training birds, he suddenly thought of the long-standing art of training pigeons, so he suddenly had the idea to train the magic bird using the same method as homing pigeons. The magic bird has a very high IQ and is much smarter than ordinary domestic pigeons. Learned it quickly. Moreover, this person was also surprised to find that because the magic messenger bird has sufficient physical strength, great strength, fast flight speed, strong survivability, and is smart and can recognize its owner, it can not only deliver letters, but also carry heavier letters and fly to farther places, and the delivery speed is faster than ordinary letters. Domestic pigeons are four to five times faster and are much better than ordinary homing pigeons in every aspect.
He immediately informed the government of his discovery.
In this era of rampant demon disasters, all methods that are beneficial to mankind will be valued. This time, the domestication of the demon bird is no exception. The people in the government soon discovered the value and did not dare to neglect it. They immediately reported it to the court. There were many capable people in the court. He immediately pointed out that this technology has not only military value but also civilian value. If this technology can be widely promoted, it will definitely greatly facilitate the military's operations and the lives of the people.
The story of flying pigeons delivering messages has been around since ancient times and is still being circulated today. If you want to notify people far away from the country with news, you need to attach a letter to the carrier pigeon and then the carrier pigeon will deliver the message. This is much faster than a quick horse delivery. Nowadays, when the path of cultivation is flourishing, some emergency notices from the imperial court are sent to officials and people in other places through small teleportation arrays. In addition, some notices that are not extremely urgent, but cannot be delayed, are notified by flying pigeons and then sent to the public. A quick horse brings the details to the recipient.
However, the use of the teleportation array consumes spiritual stones and mana and is not easy to build. Even the imperial court does not have many; and the flying pigeons to send messages also have many shortcomings. The carrier pigeons are weak and cannot fly too far. On the way, they will encounter wind, snow, thunderstorms, natural disasters, Due to the impact of natural enemy hunting, the letter may not even be delivered; even if it is delivered, because carrier pigeons cannot bear heavy letters, they usually only write the content on a note and the meaning can only be described briefly, and the rest is entirely up to the recipient to understand. If the recipient understands the letter incorrectly, Will make mistakes.
Despite all the shortcomings, the court had no other choice but to pay attention to its use. However, the successful domestication of the magic bird also provided an idea for the court. Since just one kind of magic bird can bring such great benefits after being tamed, will it also achieve better results if other monsters are successfully tamed? For example, tame monsters that are not picky eaters and grow quickly as meat, tame monsters to guard homes and courtyards, tame monsters that can run fast to form cavalry, even tame large monsters that can fly to form aerial cavalry, and tame monsters that can cast spells to form spellcasters. Group~~~~~~etc., etc. These conditions exist, but no one has discovered them before; now that we have a good idea, everyone’s inspiration will naturally come flooding in.
In the end, the imperial court decided to form a new Yamen "Beast Taming Department", which gathered various animal taming elites from the Song Dynasty and even some practitioners who were good at taming spiritual beasts. They began to study various methods of taming monsters and demons to enhance human strength. This can also be regarded as a method of "turning waste into treasure" and "using barbarians to control barbarians".
But how can monsters be so easy to tame? Except for monsters like the Magic Bird, which have always been at the bottom of the food chain in the demon world, the stronger monsters are all ferocious, bloodthirsty, and unruly types. Trying to tame them is simply heartbreaking. brain. ——It is not surprising that 95% of the monsters in the demon world are carnivorous, and the remaining 5% are omnivorous and purely herbivorous. It is also common sense that carnivorous creatures are highly aggressive. Therefore, the number of failures encountered by the "Beast Labor Division" is also foreseeable.
However, despite repeated failures, the task of taming the Demonic Birds has been going very smoothly. After two years of training, the first batch of one thousand Demonic Birds began to flow into the army on a large scale, and the response from various bureaus was very enthusiastic. Most of the users continued to I praised the magic messenger bird for its usefulness. Apart from having a larger appetite and a wilder temper, it is much better than the previous homing pigeons.
It is precisely because of the success of taming the magic bird that both the court and the people are very optimistic about the prospect of taming monsters. Despite repeated failures, many casualties caused by demon backlash, and a large consumption of resources, the court still We have continued to invest more in the "Animal Labor Division" and never stopped.
Finally, after experiencing countless failures and spending tens of millions of money, the "Beasts Division" finally succeeded in taming another kind of monster - the water polo rat. As the name suggests, this kind of monster is a water-attributed monster, but it doesn't have the ferocity of a monster at all. Its status in the food chain of the demon world is even more underground than that of the Demonic Bird - the Demonic Bird can still fly after all. The water polo rat, on the other hand, can only live in water and on the ground and is considered an amphibian.
Even though it looks like a rat, it is an oviparous animal that is willing to lay eggs. A pair of water polo rats can lay twelve eggs in one clutch. If there is enough food, they can lay ten clutches in a year. This reproductive ability is even more powerful than that of the magic bird. Because it lives in the water for a long time, its four claws are connected with webs. Although it is good for swimming, it is not good for running and it can easily become a predator. Moreover, water polo rats have very good digestion ability and can eat anything. Even dirt can be digested when they are very hungry. Therefore, they never lack food and each one of them is as fat as a meat ball. However, they move slowly, have a lot of meat, and like to run around. They are simply the best prey for carnivores. Ninety-nine percent of carnivores have eaten this little monster.
Perhaps due to its own attributes, the bones in the water polo rat's body are soft, the meat is tender and smooth, and it also has a trace of water vapor, which can replenish water and nourish the body. As long as you pay attention to removing the internal organs and magic crystals when cooking, you can use it without any sequelae. Water polo rats can grow to the size of rabbits when they are adults. They reproduce quickly and are not aggressive. They are easy to feed. Just throw them in a water tank or pond and they will grow quickly. They are simply one of the best sources of meat.
So after overcoming many difficulties in domestication and breeding, and after repeated trials and demonstrations, water polo rats were finally promoted as the first monster food. Next, freshwater devil fish, wilderness devil rabbit, sword-horned devil sheep and other monsters were successfully tamed one after another, gradually setting off a trend of taming monsters and even demons in the world.
It is a pity that so far only the lowest and least aggressive monsters and monsters can be tamed, and they can only be used as food for the time being and cannot be converted into combat power. The "Department of Beasts" has established the militarization of monsters as a long-term issue and is ready to attack it with all its strength.

"This is probably the first time that this kind of wolf monster has been discovered, not to mention the fact that it is so timid and handed over to the research madmen of the 'Beast Control Department'. Maybe it can have some inspiration for the domestication of fighting monsters." Yongxin patted him. The demon's head explained patiently.
"I see." He Lin understood. "Sir's actions indeed have profound meaning, but my gaze
