The insects in my house are dragons.

Chapter 18 Beast Tamer's Talent!

Snap—

The silk threads were expelled from the axolotl's ankles and stuck to the ground, greatly slowing its speed.

At the same time, Yun Che quickly stepped forward, past the middle-aged man who was covered in sweat, and placed his hand on the head of the axolotl, using the power of Tokiwa to convey a comforting emotion.

"It's alright, it's okay, it's alright..."

The restless axolotl gradually calmed down under his soothing touch.

Seeing that it had stopped struggling, Yun Che signaled Kong Kong to remove the silk threads from its feet.

"Huff, huff—" The middle-aged man, panting heavily as he watched the axolotl calm down, walked over and said, "Thank you, young man."

"You're welcome."

Yun Che shook his head and said, "Axolotls prefer damp environments. The recent sunny weather and dry air have caused their emotions to fluctuate more, so I don't recommend strangers get too close."

The power of Eternal Life can sense the emotions of extraordinary beings, and it can also sense the emotions of humans.

After all, to some extent, humans in the Beast Taming World can be considered a kind of extraordinary beings.

So even though it wasn't intentional, Yun Che still felt surprised by this "Little Scroll Doctor".

"Well, I just wanted to see how much their emotions changed."

Yun Che: "?"

You're really silly.

The middle-aged man's gaze swept over the axolotl and Kongkong, finally returning to Yun Che, and he said with a smile:

"It seems you know a lot about the habits of axolotls."

"This is something a zookeeper should know." After calming the axolotl down, Yun Che ignored the system notification that the task was completed and stood up to say this.

"My name is Niu Ming, and I am a PhD in Extraordinary Biology." The middle-aged man always had a smile on his face that looked a bit simple-minded or rather, kind.

Niu Ming?

Upon hearing this, Yun Che was slightly taken aback.

I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before...

He slowly came to his senses, and his eyes gradually widened.

Niu Ming, a renowned PhD in extraordinary biology, specializes in the habitats and habits of extraordinary organisms, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a leading figure in this field.

I had not only seen his interviews on TV before, but I had also read some of his books and papers!

"Dr. Niu." After his initial surprise, Yun Che quickly calmed down and greeted him respectfully.

Any PhD in extraordinary biology represents a significant contribution to the entire Beast Tamer community and deserves respect.

No wonder the system identified him as Dr. Birch.

Dr. Niu waved his hand and tentatively asked, "You must be Yun Che? The one with the 'Innate Cultivator's Sacred Body'?"

Yun Che immediately looked embarrassed and gave an awkward laugh.

Ever since he showed off his skills during the interview, he has been jokingly called "the innate nurture master" by some staff at the training base.

Of course, this nickname is mostly used jokingly, but it also represents recognition of his abilities.

"It's all just a joke... Does Dr. Niu know me?"

"Haha, of course." Dr. Niu laughed heartily.

To be honest, if Yun Che hadn't seen him on TV, he wouldn't have been so sure that the seemingly honest middle-aged man in front of him was actually a PhD in extraordinary biology.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Busy?" Yun Che was taken aback.

"Come with me to the quarantine area."

At the Blue River breeding base, there is an isolation area specifically for keeping pets in the molting stage, such as axolotls. During the molting period, their emotions become more unstable, and they are more prone to anger and aggression.

"I can't get into the quarantine area, I don't have the authority..." Yun Che said.

Because it is relatively dangerous, the animals in charge of the quarantine area are all experienced keepers, and he, as an intern, does not have the authority.

Before he could finish speaking, Dr. Niu pulled out a card and said, "I have one."

He is a PhD who studies the habitats and habits of extraordinary organisms. He was the one who helped design and build the various simulated ecological zones at the Blue River Breeding Base.

And every now and then, they come to help check on the condition of the ecological zone.

What he gets in return is the opportunity to observe the pets in the breeding base at any time. In addition, the Blue River Breeding Base will also help him raise some of the pets he needs for his experiments for free.

Of course, he also owns a stake in the Blue River Incubation Base.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him half a master.

"Well..."

Yun Che really wanted to ask, "Then why don't you go by yourself?"

But Dr. Niu seemed to read his thoughts and smiled, "With you, the 'Sacred Body of the Innate Nurturer,' by my side, I feel more at ease."

Because he needs to observe closely, having an additional capable zookeeper would undoubtedly make things safer.

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Che nodded and said, "Okay. But I need to finish feeding the axolotls first."

He also has his own ideas.

The axolotl will gain dragon attributes when it evolves into the fumarole. He wants to learn from and refer to this, and observing the axolotl's molting and growth up close, and feeling their changes, is also a very necessary step.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you."

...

Yun Che finished feeding the baby very quickly.

We went to the quarantine area with Dr. Niu.

Along the way, Dr. Niu explained to Yun Che the extraordinary habits of some of the creatures in the ecological zones they passed, which gave Yun Che a great deal of insight.

"By the way," Dr. Niu asked casually as they walked, "Is your green velvet 'transforming into a dragon'?"

Yun Che: !?

"Chirp?!" Kongkong let out a strange cry.

Ah Che, should we take care of him?

Yun Che ignored Kong Kong, suddenly stopped, and looked at Dr. Niu in astonishment.

hum-

He immediately activated the power of Tokiwa to try and sense Dr. Niu's emotions.

The feedback he received made him breathe a slight sigh of relief.

It was purely out of goodwill and curiosity, without a trace of malice or ill intent.

When I unintentionally sensed Dr. Ushi's emotions using the power of Tokiwa before, I did not detect any malice or bad emotions.

However, this did not make Yun Che completely lower his guard.

After all, this is a world with extraordinary powers, and it's not entirely impossible to disguise and conceal one's emotions.

Even if this person is a famous PhD, even if he is "Dr. Birch".

"Don't be nervous." Dr. Niu clearly saw Yun Che's wariness and empty hostility, so he raised his hands and said:

"Actually, I found out yesterday, but I didn't have a chance to talk to you."

yesterday?

Didn't we only see each other from afar yesterday?

That's how you noticed?

Yun Che believed that he and Kong Kong had not shown anything obvious, and had not used dragon-type moves or released dragon might in front of others.

Even some of the professional breeders at the breeding base, such as Lan Xiangyao, couldn't detect anything unusual.

He also deliberately avoided close contact between Kongkong and outsiders.

You can see it even from 30 or 40 meters away... Is this the doctoral student of extraordinary biology?

He knew that sooner or later someone would discover that Kong Kong was acting strangely, and that time might not be too long.

Because he could sense that Kongkong, who had already shed his skin eight times, was shed more and more slowly and it was becoming increasingly difficult.

But the changes become more and more obvious after each molt.

He had a premonition that on the ninth or at most the tenth time, Kongkong would inevitably experience a qualitative change.

How to "disguise" it at that time will definitely be a problem.

He had considered a plan: to have Kongkong pretend to be on the verge of evolving into a Xuanlin Silkworm, but the chances were slim.

"I understand your caution, so I haven't told anyone. I can vouch for that with my doctoral degree," Dr. Niu said sincerely.

If Dr. Niu really knew yesterday, and if he truly harbored ill intentions, then he certainly had no reason to engage in this pretense of politeness.

After all, there's a difference in their social status.

But the problem is...

How can you prove he discovered it yesterday?

It's such a long distance.

Even Lan Xiangyao, a professional trainer, couldn't detect anything unusual about the empty space within two or three meters.

Seemingly sensing that Yun Che still didn't fully believe him, he said:

"As an apology for accidentally overhearing your secret, and to show that I meant no harm, I'll tell you one of my secrets, or rather, I'll tell you why."

"Um?"

Dr. Niu pursed his lips, hesitated slightly, and then continued:

"The reason I was able to detect it from so far away is because of... my Beastmaster talent, a support-type talent—'Eye of the Fine Line'."

Beastmaster talent?

A discerning eye?

After Dr. Niu gave a brief explanation, he gradually understood.

Beastmaster talent is a special ability unique to beastmasters.

Generally speaking, once a Beastmaster's Beast Taming Space reaches a certain level, there is a chance that it will awaken, just like some powerful extraordinary creatures awaken innate skills.

However, the vast majority of beast tamers will never awaken their beast tamer talent, no matter how hard they try.

Even some veteran master, legendary, or even legendary beast tamers may not awaken their beast tamer talent.

Dr. Niu's talent, "Eye of the Fine Scale," enhances the eyesight of beast tamers and allows them to perceive the energy flow of extraordinary beings.

After listening, Yun Che's lips twitched slightly.

It's actually a Beast Tamer talent!

Who would have thought of that?

He didn't even know such a thing existed...

Ok.

Yun Che let out a long breath and chose to believe.

What else can you do if you don't believe it?

I'm so angry!

I should have just hidden away in the deep mountains and forests with Kongkong for seventy or eighty years!
