Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 516: Chapter 243: Taking the Dragon on a Winter Excursion! Farewell to the Inverted Brothers!

At the gate of the Heart of Myriad Spirits’ base.

Su Ping was geared up once again, ready for an expedition.

However, apart from the Scale Armor, he was also wrapped in thick fur to ward off the cold of the season.

Indeed, after only a brief rest overnight, Su Ping was prepared to set out with the slightly recovered Flame-Eating Crow.

After all, New Year’s Eve was just two days away.

But, to Su Ping’s annoyance and dilemma, it wasn’t just he and the Little Crow by his side at the moment.

Su Ping looked at the three people beside him with exasperation, ”Seriously, everyone, why don’t you stay at home with your families? Why are you coming with me?”

That’s right, the three people by his side were Qin Xiaoxue, Dong Muxuan, and Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou blinked, ”I don’t have a home to celebrate the New Year in. In previous years, I spent most of my holidays at the academy. This year, I happened to encounter your situation. How could I not come and see the Flame-Eating Crow and our joint research?”

Dong Muxuan, devoid of the demeanor characteristic of a noble family’s offspring from the academy, said naively, ”My sister said I should follow you around more.”

Qin Xiaoxue gave him a sidelong glance, ”It’s almost boring me to death in Linzhou. Since it’s possible that something fun might happen here with you, how could I not join in? What, are you not welcoming us?”

Su Ping nodded, reluctantly accepting the flimsy excuses of these three.

However, he glanced helplessly at the massive figure that had accompanied him for several days. Finally, with a sigh of resignation, he said, ”Da Huang, the Little Crow’s enemies are probably just Elite Level, perhaps in larger numbers, or at most no stronger than Commander Level. Why are you following along?”

That’s right. Besides these three excitement-seekers, another figure behind him was attracting attention, even with fewer tourists around due to the approaching New Year: Master Zhu Hong’s massive Yellow Dragon.

The Yellow Dragon glanced at the whippersnapper and snorted loudly. The message was clear: had it not been for its Beast Tamer master who seemed unconcerned about returning home, it would hardly deign to run around with this over-excited kid. Isn’t digging for gold more enjoyable?

Despite his verbal complaints, Su Ping couldn’t deny the immense sense of security provided by having such a massive Yellow Dragon by his side.

As the most exalted type of Pet Beast in the Dragon Nation, the existence of dragons was almost like a Totem.

This was evident from the fearful yet excited look in the Little Crow’s eyes.

Well, the more the merrier! If trouble did arise, these people would indeed be capable helpers.

With that thought, Su Ping no longer hesitated and waved his hand decisively, ”In that case, let’s set off! Little Crow, lead the way!”

”CAW! CAW! CAW!”

A series of caws echoed as the Flame-Eating Crow on Su Ping’s shoulder flapped its wings and slowly ascended into the sky.

Under the envious gazes of Ye Zhou and Dong Muxuan, Su Ping confidently mounted the Yellow Dragon’s neck with practiced ease.

Riding a Dragon was not something ordinary people had the luxury to enjoy.

Out of the three companions, it was only Qin Xiaoxue who wasn’t particularly curious or interested in dragons.

However, these three were clearly no ordinary individuals; even without a Dragon to lead them, keeping pace with the Little Crow was not a challenge.

Su Ping saw Qin Xiaoxue’s third Pet Beast for the first time.

Of course, it was indeed Qin Xiaoxue’s first true Contracted Beast, also of the Wood Element, but of a different species.

Flower Fairy.

A Pet Beast with Racial Potential reaching the Monarch Level.

An Elemental Type belonging to the Wood Element.

It was a creature resembling a young girl, except with several petal-like wings on its back.

At the same time, holding something resembling a lotus pod in its hand, the Flower Fairy picked up Qin Xiaoxue with a slight touch and soared through the sky.

Su Ping watched the Commander Level Flower Fairy with great interest for several moments.

As for Ye Zhou and Dong Muxuan, there was even less need to mention them. They were showcasing their diverse abilities, like the legendary Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

The spider that those Magic Capital students had mentioned when Su Ping first met Dong Muxuan—Su Ping finally saw it.
