Chapter Nine, crying like a three-hundred-pound child

The people around had a look of disapproval on their faces

Level 12, already classified as elite monsters, in such suburban areas, elite-level monsters are almost equivalent to top-tier predators. In regions with the danger level of Mirror Lake, one is unlikely to encounter any natural enemies.

The dinner in the evening consists of grilled fish, sourced from the wild fish in Mingjing Lake

Tan Qianjin, in a state of conditioned reflex, caught the pickled vegetables, staring blankly at the package of pickled vegetables in his hand. After taking a deep look at Gao Peng, he chuckled and put the package of pickled vegetables into his pocket.

Let it be, just go with the flow

Meanwhile, on the other side

It turns out to be a giant mutated individual, as generally, mutated individuals tend to be stronger and of higher quality than others

Murong Qiuyue's chubby face was full of smiles, "Classmates, take it easy. Ling Que has a rather reclusive personality; you can look, but do not touch."

Monster Name: Silver-Winged Bird (Giant Mutation)

Gao Peng felt a pang of guilt in his heart, but if the brown rock snake wanted to continue evolving in quality, it needed to consume special attribute blood and flesh, as well as treasures. To Da Zi, the corpse of this brown rock snake was merely slightly more nutritious than ordinary blood and flesh. It would be better to take this relatively well-preserved corpse back to sell it and then use the proceeds to specifically purchase resources to cultivate Da Zi

With their head held high and their mouth puffed out, they then let out a joyful cry. "Oh ~ Oh ~"

The black violent ape seems to have not been in the wild for a long time, appearing very excited

In the end, there seemed to be a hint of impatience, as the silver-winged bird flapped its wings a couple of times and flew away, leaving behind a few silver feathers that slowly drifted down.

"Silver-winged bird, if I call your name, would you dare to respond?" Tan Qianjin said with a smile.

The Silver-winged Bird is a commonly domesticated avian creature. Due to its strong reproductive capabilities, diverse and easily obtainable food sources, and moderate individual strength, many people choose to domesticate Silver-winged Birds as their avian companions

Oh. Li Hongdou glanced at him, rubbed her wrist, and said, "I still feel sore from the beating."

Along the shore, fish caught from the lake are lined up side by side. A shadow sweeps across the surface of the lake and soars into the sky, then turns and dives down, landing at the edge of the lake. This shadow finally reveals its form: a silver giant bird standing at least 1.5 meters tall, its sharp claws resembling giant hooks firmly grasping a half-meter-long lake fish. After placing the fish down, it strides over on its slender legs to Murong Qiuyue, nuzzling her with its head, its eyes filled with a sense of dependence.

As night fell, a bonfire was lit at the edge of Mingjing Lake. Murong Qiuyue took a pile of tents from the luggage compartment under the bus. Under her hands-on demonstration and guidance, all the students quickly set up their tents. Each tent was shared by two students of the same gender.

The silver-winged bird subtly turned its head, its eyes revealing a hint of disdain with a touch of human-like expression

[Monster Quality]: Elite

He stepped forward and tapped Gao Peng on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "Let's go eat grilled fish," as a pair of dimples appeared on his face.

He is a security personnel from Blue Shield Security Company, responsible for ensuring the safety of this group of students during the trip. Of course, this only pertains to the protection of their lives, not acting as babysitters. They are solely responsible for safeguarding the personal safety of the students, while the safety of their beasts is beyond their scope of responsibility. If they die, they die; they are all high school students. In this new era, turning sixteen is considered adulthood, and adults should be accountable for their actions.

... ...

Coincidentally, the one sharing a tent with Gao Peng is the class monitor, Tan Qianjin. Upon seeing the group arrangement, Tan Qianjin chuckled, rubbed his slicked-back hair, squinted his eyes into a narrow slit, and extended his right hand, saying, "Hello, academic overachiever."

At first, Hai Lanyu was prepared to intervene, but upon considering the strong physique of the black violent ape, he realized that even if he added ten of himself, it would merely be delivering vegetables.

... ...

Although it is one's own beast, I remember the teacher seemed to say something in class... ? ... Occasionally let the beast unleash itself. ? Hai Lanyu's grades are very poor because he always daydreams in class and thus can never remember the key points.

These individuals have never seen such a large silver-winged bird, and a group of people surrounded the silver-winged bird at the center

In fact, the teacher's original words were to balance work and rest, emphasizing that while training with the beast, one should not forget to play with the beast to cultivate the bond between them. As the intimacy between the beast and the beast master increases, exclusive abilities unique to the beast master and the beast will be unlocked. These abilities are the key to the beast master's survival

"Smack!" Li Hongdou slapped Li Zigong on the back of his head, "Can you even speak!"

The black violent ape joyfully jumped around, bending its legs to transform into a shadow that leaped several meters high. It swung its arms onto the branches, swaying back and forth in the forest, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from Hai Lan Yu's sight

However, Gao Peng is quite self-aware of his skill in grilling fish, so he brought along several packets of spring fish pickled vegetables to use as seasoning

"Teacher Murong, my big golden monkey is missing. I summoned it through the blood pact, but there was no response. Has it met with an accident?" Hai Lanyu rushed out from the side, crying with snot and tears, like a three-hundred-pound child

Moreover, the range of activity of the avian monsters is extensive, and their support speed is extremely fast. This should serve as the second layer of assurance for the school regarding their safety

Gao Peng is not accustomed to shaking hands with others, but when others extend their hands, he does not want to show a negative expression. He raises his right hand and lightly touches it, which can be considered as having shaken hands.

Upon entering the tent, Gao Peng took out two sealed packets of pickled mustard greens from his backpack, threw one packet to Tan Qianjin, and then placed the other packet into his pants pocket

Wow, Teacher Murong, your bird is so big!" Li Zigong exclaimed with great excitement

The area he chose is not the same forest as that of Gao Peng. The forest where Gao Peng is located is a grove outside the sunny side of the lake, where the trees, although tall, are relatively sparser. In contrast, the forest where Hai Lanyu is situated is in the corner area where the lake meets the mountains behind it, which belongs to a shaded area, and the vegetation here is more lush.

Tan Qianjin choked, and he was actually looked down upon by a bird

With both arms wildly pounding on his chest, a dull thudding sound echoed.

However, the book states that adult individuals of the silver-winged bird are generally only one meter tall, while this particular silver-winged bird measures a full one and a half meters, making it a giant among its kind.

If it were not for the fear of the silver-winged bird pecking at them, some individuals might even reach out to touch it

Hai Lanyu was excitedly wandering through the surrounding woods with his beast, the Black Violent Ape. The earlier conflict with Gao Peng had already been cast aside; after all, he was just a high school student, and it was merely a minor friction, not something that could be considered a deep-seated hatred.

What Gao Peng did not notice was that a man in a blue security uniform was watching him from a large tree trunk one hundred meters behind him. "This kid is quite cautious; a brown rock snake could probably sell for about half a credit point."

Li Zigong had a face full of grievance, "Sister, please stop hitting me on the back of the head. I have always suspected that my low IQ is due to you frequently hitting me on the back of the head."
