Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 515 - 242: Explosive Scene! The Little Crow Calls for Help!_4

"The Dragon Clan will only respect and submit to beings of great strength, whether they be Beast Tamers or other Pet Beasts."

Su Ping frowned at this answer.

However, it was clear that Zhu Hong had misunderstood. He said with a faint smile, "Don’t worry, with your strength and future, you will definitely have your own Dragon Clan Pet Beast. Dragon Pets are relatively rare, even among the upper echelons of Dragon Nation. However, with your accomplishments, you won’t be short of choices when the time comes."

Su Ping forced a smile.

Zhu Hong couldn’t understand Su Ping’s thoughts.

However, since Su Ping had asked, Zhu Hong didn’t hold back. "You’ve been reading too many of those novels, haven’t you? Getting recognition from the Dragon Clan through nurturing is only possible when they are juveniles. There’s no need to be so troubled. Besides, you don’t have to defeat the Dragon Clan to gain recognition; being sufficiently strong is enough. But the same still applies: you don’t have a Dragon Pet right now, so there’s no need to rush. You probably won’t get that Crystal Dragon from next year’s midyear professional assessment. However, once the Skills of the Five Elements’ cycle of generation and restraint are researched, I can try to apply for you if you’re interested."

Dragons, once mature, are no less wise than any other sentient creature. Even more so, their vast longevity grants them far craftier experiences and wisdom.

Hearing Zhu Hong’s words, Su Ping didn’t feel any relief; rather, he simply nodded thoughtfully. "Thank you, Master Zhu. I’ve just been itching a little looking at Da Huang, hehe."

"Alright, alright. If you have time, come and fish with me. If you want to chat, go find those two boys or Miss Qin. Don’t disturb my fishing," Zhu Hong waved his hand.

Su Ping didn’t mind and was about to make a show of casting his line when Uncle Guan’s call came. The content of the call raised his eyebrows. "Xiao Ping, that Flame-Eating Crow that had left before has now flown back to the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree you’ve had people keep an eye on."

A gleam appeared in Su Ping’s eyes. That missing Little Crow had been occupying his mind all this time, and Su Ping had always been quite worried. After all, a rare Mutated Pet Beast was one thing, but now it seemed to carry another identity: it could potentially be a degenerative species of the ancient Three-legged Golden Crow.

While one could buy Flame-Eating Crows of that kind, obtaining a mutant was undoubtedly very difficult.

He had talked about this with Ye Zhou previously, and the man was undeniably intrigued. After all, Su Ping had in his possession a critical piece of decisive evidence obtained from that Flame-Eating Crow: a feather from the Darkflame Ancient Raven, detected using the Time Hourglass.

This was why Su Ping had increasingly cared about that Little Crow these past days.

Under such circumstances, if they could obtain what might be the Pet Beast’s form before its degeneration, it could represent a qualitative leap in the research on ancestral Evolution. They might even unravel its mysteries and principles.

Now, upon hearing Lao Guan’s news, Su Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Ping made up his mind, but before he could ponder further, Uncle Guan’s voice came again over the phone. "You better come quickly. This time, the Flame-Eating Crow’s situation isn’t looking too good."

Su Ping’s eyebrows furrowed suddenly. Without even greeting Zhu Hong, he hurried toward the area above the Forest Heart. Zhu Hong watched the frantic Su Ping, shook his head helplessly, and, unconcerned, turned his attention back to his fishing rod.

Su Ping was fast. In a little over ten minutes, he arrived at the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree. He saw the incredibly frail Little Crow. This time, he could even see the pulsating organs behind the Little Crow’s chest and the breaking of its cartilage.

Su Ping let out a long sigh and then began to act.

"GAGA..." The Little Crow glanced at Su Ping and let out an extremely weak cry.

Su Ping didn’t waste any words; a light glowed in his palm. It was his Talented Ability, Rapid Recovery. At the same time, he took out a potion from his Beast Taming Space: Illusionary Heart. This miraculous potion could transform a Pet Beast’s body into an Elemental Body, greatly reducing injuries and pain.

GULP.

After swallowing the Illusionary Heart potion, the Little Crow’s body turned ethereal. In this state, the worsening of the little fellow’s injuries stopped immediately. Under Su Ping’s Rapid Recovery, the terrifying wound began to rapidly grow fresh, tender shoots of flesh. However, this only temporarily preserved the little guy’s ebbing Life Force.

While applying treatment, Su Ping headed straight for the mountain peak without stopping. In the field of healing Pet Beasts, in the entire Heart of Myriad Spirits, who could rival the Life Ancient Tree?

Under the swaying of the Life Ancient Tree’s branches, the Little Crow’s vitality soon began to slowly return. The shadow of Death that had loomed over it completely disappeared.

After paying his respects to the Life Ancient Tree, Su Ping brought the little guy back to the Hundred Birds Wutong Tree, a place where it would feel safer. Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of complete relief. Fortunately, this mutated Flame-Eating Crow had a robust Life Force; and fortunately, when it came to healing Skills, Su Ping certainly wasn’t lacking.

"GAGA!"

Compared to before, its voice was now revitalized. Listening to the Little Crow’s grateful cries, Su Ping looked quite grave. "Little guy, what kind of enemy are you facing? Why do you end up so battered every time?"

"GAGA GAGA!"

Though the Little Crow was intelligent, its ability to express itself was clearly limited. After a series of "GAGA GAGA!" cries, it ultimately failed to make itself understood. It seemed to realize there was a language barrier between them and that explaining would be difficult. Then, the Little Crow made a crucial decision. It cawed once and decided to seek external help!
