In the valley.
Amidst a sea of flowers.
Countless butterflies emerged from every corner, gathering together and fluttering above the floral expanse.
The swarms of butterflies resembled a sky full of stars, their iridescent wings shimmering under the moonlight, like colorful silk swaying in the night.
They flitted through the flowers, constantly dancing around the Twin Flowers, creating a whirlwind of butterflies.
“Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!!!”
Since birth, Cola had never seen so many butterflies. Its breathing instantly quickened, its eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance, and its limbs began to move uncontrollably.
A whirlwind of energy, Cola chased after the swarms of butterflies, jumping up and down from time to time, its excited cries constantly ringing out.
Chen Yuan's action camera was still recording. He silently raised it, chose a good angle, and captured this breathtaking moment.
He had heard that there was a Red River Butterfly Valley in Yun Province, where, around mid-to-late May, hundreds of millions of Jezebel butterflies would gather and emerge in a short period, creating a spectacular butterfly explosion.
Perhaps, it was very similar to the current situation.
But that was just hearsay. At this moment, however, he was witnessing it with his own eyes, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.
“Roar, roar.”
The Great Earth Bear didn't have time to pay attention to these things. Taking advantage of the fact that the Servant Bees were all unconscious, it quickly searched every corner for honey.
A honeycomb in its left hand, a honeycomb in its right, its paws constantly reaching in and out, until its entire bear paw was covered in sweet honey, yellow juice remaining on its cheeks and corners of its mouth, the smile on its face growing brighter and brighter.
Eat, eat, eat! Tonight, it would just eat and eat!
At this moment, the Electric Flying Cat was still asleep.
Chen Yuan stood in front of the Twin Flowers, watching the light inside become more and more dazzling, filling his entire field of vision.
However, in the next moment, the light disappeared completely, and the swarms of butterflies no longer danced around the Twin Flowers, flying away in all directions.
“Awoo.”
Cola immediately became anxious, hurriedly jumping up and trying to catch the butterflies, but they nimbly avoided it, leaving it to stare blankly as they vanished without a trace in an instant.
The dejected Cola returned to Chen Yuan's side and suddenly noticed that the countless flowers on the ground had all withered, losing their luster and vibrant colors.
“Awoo?”
Cola blinked its eyes, its face full of surprise and suspicion.
“This is…”
Standing in front of the Twin Flowers, Chen Yuan watched the light fade away, finally seeing the petite figure clearly.
This was a small creature with a slender figure. Each of its delicate arms was connected to a purple flower-shaped palm, and there was a purple petal headdress on the right side of its head. A long skirt in the shape of purple petals was located at the lower end of its body, and long, light pink hair cascaded down its waist like a waterfall.
A faint petal pattern was clearly visible on its forehead, beneath which were a pair of tightly closed eyes.
Just as Chen Yuan was concentrating on staring at this little creature, it slowly opened a pair of light purple eyes.
For a moment, the two pairs of eyes met each other.
In the next moment, the little creature blinked its eyes, seeming to imprint Chen Yuan's appearance firmly in its mind.
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said, “Uh? Hello?”
This mysterious little creature didn't make a sound but tried to stand up from the Twin Flowers, its petite body swaying. Chen Yuan tried to reach out to help, but stopped himself.
Every newborn life would experience this process.
Carelessly, the little creature fell onto the petals, its pure eyes, like those of a little girl, blinked gently, and it dragged its scattered purple petal-shaped long skirt, standing up again.
The little princess finally slowly walked to the edge of the petals, lowered its head to stare at the ground, and then, like fluttering willow catkins, gently landed on the ground.
And the moment it landed, the Twin Flowers became dim and dull, withering in an instant.
Chen Yuan looked down and realized that the previous sea of flowers had also withered, and couldn't help but sigh, “This sea of flowers, perhaps it began because of you, and ended because of you.”
“Awoo.”
Looking at the little creature so close at hand, Cola's eyes were gentle, its voice lowered, its call filled with affection.
But the little creature only glanced at it faintly, its expression carrying aloofness and indifference.
“Awoo?”
Cola was immediately dumbfounded, realizing that this little creature's temper might not be very good.
The little creature stepped barefoot on the soft soil, its pure eyes scanning the withered flowers, and finally raised its small head, looking at Chen Yuan.
The little creature was not tall, standing only close to the middle of Chen Yuan's calf.
Chen Yuan squatted down, gazed at the little creature in front of him, slowly extended his right hand, and said gently, “Let's get to know each other. My name is Chen Yuan.”
The little creature looked at the big guy in front of it, still not making a sound, but took two steps forward, and when it got close to Chen Yuan's right hand, it lifted its long skirt and slowly walked up.
In the next moment, the little creature sat on Chen Yuan's right hand.
[First time collecting Twin Flower Concubine, Source Points plus five]
[Race: Twin Flower Concubine (Collected)]
[Attribute: Wood]
[Level: 1 (First Order)]
[Affection: 75]
[Skill: Lush (Elementary ) +]
[Quality: Overlord]
[Advancement to Morning Star Quality Condition: Insufficient Source Points ()]
Seeing the suddenly emerging data panel, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up for a moment, and his thoughts surged.
The Twin Flowers nurtured an incredible life, which turned out to be an Overlord quality Twin Flower Concubine.
“But what's going on with this affection level?” Chen Yuan was full of confusion.
He had known this little creature for less than five minutes, and its affection level was actually 75, which was higher than the few little guys left on the farm.
Wait.
Chen Yuan lowered his head and looked at the Twin Flower Concubine, who was sitting quietly on his hand like a well-behaved little girl, his expression complex.
The way this little creature looked at him was full of dependence, like…like it was looking at its mother.
Crap, I wouldn't really be considered its mother, would I?
Chen Yuan's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He cleared his throat, stared at the Twin Flower Concubine, and said softly, “Are you misunderstanding something?”
“Hmm?” The little creature's pure eyes stared at Chen Yuan, and finally, it made a sound, delicate and tender, mixed with a hint of coldness, making it pitiful.
Chen Yuan said cautiously, “Actually, I'm not your…”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the little creature lower its eyes, its long eyelashes swaying gently, its emotions visibly starting to drop.
Chen Yuan's heart softened instantly. He hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and instead said, “You can follow me from now on.”
Anyway, this child already considers him its mother, and anyway, the farm needs a Wood-type pet.
The Twin Flower Concubine's skill [Lush] can catalyze the growth of various plants, which is one of the skills the farm currently needs most.
Anyway, it's just such a small creature, and he's not afraid that it will bankrupt the farm.
Besides, this newly born little creature is extremely fragile. If left to fend for itself, Chen Yuan is worried that it won't see the sun tomorrow.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuan was just about to say something when he looked down and saw the little creature had already closed its eyes, curling its body into a ball. Its purple dress covered most of its body, and it had fallen asleep in the palm of his hand.
The newly born little creature had limited energy and fell asleep after only a short period of activity.
Chen Yuan smiled helplessly and carefully reached out his left hand, trying to put the little creature into his backpack, but he saw the little creature in its sleep reaching out its petal-like hand, tightly holding onto one of his fingers, its mouth seemingly sucking on something.
"Is it hungry?" Chen Yuan was taken aback.
But he didn't have anything suitable for a pet cub to eat in his backpack, and he didn't know if it would like the coarse pet food.
Chen Yuan looked around and suddenly saw the Earth Barbarian Bear eating honey with big gulps, and his eyes lit up.
Then, Chen Yuan held the little creature in his arms, took a little honey from a beehive placed next to the Earth Barbarian Bear, and extended his left hand smeared with honey.
This time, the little creature hugged his left hand, unconsciously sucking on the sweet honey.
After a long while, the little creature released his finger and fell asleep again in his right palm.
Chen Yuan carefully placed it in his backpack, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's not easy being a mom."
The night deepened.
No mistakes, first release, first internal content, first see!
Chen Yuan walked to the Earth Barbarian Bear's side, looked at the empty beehive beside him, and said, "Leave some for them."
The worker bees collect nectar and make honey to ensure the reproduction and survival of the bee colony.
If all the honey is eaten, they will have a very difficult time in the days to come.
Although these worker bees did bad things, it's not necessary to drive them to extinction.
Just as the mission requirements issued by the Beast Master Association stated, it is only necessary to deter them and prevent them from stinging people at will.
"Roar, roar."
The Earth Barbarian Bear stuck out its tongue, licked the juice remaining at the corner of its mouth, touched its bulging belly, and nodded without hesitation.
It was already full and would take some back for the bear cubs.
At the same time,
The Sweet Honey Queen and the worker bees woke up one after another. When they saw the withered flower sea and the withered Twin Flowers, the entire group fell into a commotion.
"Hiss."
The Sweet Honey Queen's eyes flickered, stopping the commotion.
Chen Yuan stared at them closely, ready for them to take revenge.
But unexpectedly, the Sweet Honey Queen did not lead the worker bees to take revenge. It just quietly hovered in front of the withered Twin Flowers for a long time, and finally slowly flapped its wings and flew into the air.
The worker bees followed the Sweet Honey Queen, the buzzing of their wings rising and falling.
They ignored the remaining beehives, one after another, gradually disappearing into the night.
The flower sea had withered, and it was meaningless for them to stay here.
Chen Yuan shouted loudly, "Remember, don't sting people at will."
"Otherwise, I will still find you."
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The Earth Barbarian Bear followed up with a few roars.
Me too!
After the worker bee swarm left, the place fell into silence. Chen Yuan walked to the backpack, looked at the Twin Flower Consort curled up inside, and muttered to himself, "Your birth is a bad thing for them."
He guessed that perhaps because of the Twin Flowers, this valley nurtured this sea of flowers, allowing the worker bees to have ample raw materials to make honey.
And in order to nurture an incredible life, the Twin Flowers absorbed the energy of the entire sea of flowers.
Even if Chen Yuan didn't come, in at most two months, the Twin Flower Consort would be born naturally, and the worker bees would be forced to move their habitat.
The Twin Flower Consort directly affected the rise and fall of an entire group.
But this was not the fault of the Twin Flower Consort. It was just a little girl who had just been born and didn't understand anything.
However, judging from the Twin Flower Consort's previous reactions, it seemed to only have a better attitude when facing Chen Yuan, and was obviously indifferent when facing Cola.
"Hopefully, it's not a problem child," Chen Yuan thought to himself.
If its innate personality has flaws, it will take a lot of effort to help it grow up healthy.
It was late, and after a fierce battle, Chen Yuan and the little creatures were physically and mentally exhausted, so they rested on the spot.
Closing his eyes and entering a meditative state, a familiar voice sounded in his mind:
"Orange, Watermelon, good evening."
After a greeting, Jiang Wen Ning's tone was particularly cheerful: "I have become an intermediate Beast Master."
Chen Yuan said, "Congratulations, congratulations."
Jiang Wen Ning was, after all, a genius Beast Master like him, and after experiencing this night-long rainstorm, she had become an intermediate Beast Master as she wished.
"Have you thought about what second pet to contract?" he then asked.
Jiang Wen Ning replied without thinking, "I should contract an ice-attribute pet."
Chen Yuan was stunned: "I remember your Glutinous Rice is also an ice-attribute pet."
"Yes," Jiang Wen Ning nodded, stroking the silver-white cat lying on her lap, and said, "I prefer ice-attribute pets."
"Maybe I'll form an ice-attribute team in the future."
An ice-attribute team, that's completely countered by fire.
Jiang Wen Ning continued, "But for most Beast Masters, the choice of pets within the team is best diversified to deal with various situations."
"A pet that is good at attacking, a pet that is good at defending, and an auxiliary pet that is good at controlling."
Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
Li Junyue suddenly asked, "My first pet is a Ink Tree Sprite, shouldn't I choose a pet that is good at attacking in the future?"
Ink Tree Sprite, a wood-type pet, good at various control skills.
Jiang Wen Ning paused and said, "If you can enter the Task Force, you should choose a contract pet according to the configuration of your team. Your captain will tell you then."
After saying this, Jiang Wen Ning's mouth curved slightly, and she continued to speak: "By the way, I got news yesterday that a professor is preparing to go deep into the Qinling Mountains to investigate the various conditions of the local pets and needs several combat-type students to accompany him."
"The minimum standard for participating in this activity is an intermediate Beast Master."
"I have already signed up."
Chen Yuan asked, "When are you coming?"
Jiang Wen Ning said, "I asked, it should be in mid-next month. This professor is currently doing some preparations."
"And the number of intermediate Beast Masters in the academy is currently limited, not everyone will participate in this activity."
"Okay," Chen Yuan nodded, "When you come to the Qinling Mountains, I'll take you around."
"Of course, provided it's the southern foothills of the Qinling Mountains."
The Qinling Mountains are very, very large, and the area that Chen Yuan is currently familiar with is only a small part.
But Jiang Wen Ning's words aroused Chen Yuan's deep thought. The association headquarters said that experts and scholars would come to study the mysterious forest, but it's been so long, why haven't they come yet?
Are they preparing?
Thanks to Hai Ziyuan for the reward!
