The insects in my house are dragons.

Chapter 27 First Investigation Experience

As they walked through the dense forest, the two remained vigilant about their surroundings while also exchanging information.

It was mainly Yun Che who was asking questions.

About pets, about research projects, about recent environmental changes.

It must be admitted that Dr. Niu truly deserves to be called a renowned and extraordinary PhD in biology.

They not only have in-depth research on the habitats and habits of supernatural beings, but also have a deep understanding of various aspects of supernatural beings.

Even a brief exchange proved to be very beneficial to Yun Che.

"Has the little guy grown up again?" Dr. Niu brought the topic back to Kong Kong.

"Yes, it's in the late stage of mutation," Yun Che replied.

"Chirp~!" The little guy heard himself being called and lifted his head out of the peach, his face covered in juice, blinking his eyes.

Seeing this, Dr. Niu smiled and said, "I'm not referring to strength level."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che was slightly taken aback, but then realized that what Dr. Niu was referring to was Kong Kong's "dragon transformation" level.

After undergoing another molt, coupled with training in Dragon Dance, the dragon attribute energy within Kongkong's body became even more active.

"Thanks to your notes, Doctor," Yun Che said gratefully.

Dr. Niu waved his hand, "I only provided the notes. What you learn from them is up to you. I am only good at observation, recording and analysis. Breeding pets is not my specialty."

"However, I know someone who has extensive experience in raising dragon-type pets. I can introduce you to him later."

Before Yun Che could express his gratitude again, Dr. Niu suddenly raised his hand to stop them, and slowly hunched over, adopting a cautious posture.

Seeing this, Yun Che immediately stopped talking and started imitating Dr. Niu's posture.

"See that?" Dr. Niu asked in a low voice, pointing to a tall tree not far away.

Beside the tree, several nimble, ethereal birds were circling.

"That is..." Because of the distance, Yun Che couldn't see it very clearly.

"Blue Feather Birds," Dr. Niu continued, "are extraordinary creatures that are quite sensitive to the environment, especially climate and temperature. There is a habitat for them along the Blue River."

[Name]: Blue Feather Bird

[Attribute]: Flight

[Race Level]: Intermediate Extraordinary

[Racial Skills]: Peck, Feather, Cyclone...

This must be one of Dr. Niu's main observation targets on this trip, right?

Yun Che felt a sense of realization dawning on him.

As he spoke, Dr. Niu took out a notebook and camera from his backpack, handing the camera to Yun Che, "Take some photos for me."

Then I hid behind a tree and started making some notes.

Yun Che followed Dr. Niu's instructions and proceeded with the filming.

"Ah Che, what is the range of your current perception?" Dr. Niu in the record suddenly asked.

"The limit should be around three meters."

This distance is so great that it is clearly far beyond Yun Che's capabilities.

Dr. Niu nodded. "By the way, we should also film some of the surrounding environment."

"it is good."

But as filming progressed, Yun Che noticed that under the tree over there, a blue-feathered bird lay collapsed beside the tree, seemingly... already dying?

"Doctor..." Yun Che paused for a moment before calling out.

Dr. Niu had obviously also noticed the blue-feathered bird on the ground. "It's not yet certain whether it was caused by environmental changes or by an attack from another supernatural creature."

Thud thud —

A short while later, the few blue-feathered birds on the tree flapped their wings and flew away.

"Walk."

At Dr. Niu's suggestion, the two moved closer to the tree.

"Chirp!" Kongkong suddenly pointed at the blue-feathered bird on the ground and chirped.

It's still moving!

still alive?

Dr. Niu noticed this, so he walked straight over.

"唳——"

The blue-feathered bird on the ground noticed someone approaching, struggled to get up, and kept chirping.

Yun Che immediately used the power of Tokiwa to appease him.

But the state of the blue-feathered bird made him frown.

Dr. Niu squatted to the side, taking notes at lightning speed.

"Eh-!!!"

At this moment, the three blue-feathered birds that had flown away earlier returned, two of them with insects in their beaks.

When they saw Yun Che and Dr. Niu squatting beside their companion, they immediately increased their speed and roared as they charged.

"Doctor?" Yun Che quickly reminded him upon seeing this.

But when I looked at Dr. Niu, I found him frowning and taking notes, completely absorbed in his research.

Yun Che: "..."

He sighed softly.

"Kongkong, time for work."

"grumble!"

Kongkong nodded, landed on the ground, and assumed a defensive posture.

Fortunately, these Azure Feathered Birds were not of high strength level; one was at the late stage of mutation, and two were at the middle stage of mutation.

"Hey!!"

A mid-stage mutated blue-feathered bird let out a long cry, folded its wings, and fell straight to the ground like a sharp arrow, its target being Dr. Niu who was squatting on the ground!

Peck!

"grumble!"

Kongkong immediately rushed out and knocked the blue-feathered bird away, causing it to lose consciousness.

Seeing one of their companions defeated, the two remaining blue-feathered birds in the sky showed deep fear in their eyes.

Is that really a green velvet worm?

The blue-feathered bird stopped falling and instead vigorously flapped its wings, sending pale blue feathers flying down.

Flying Feather!

"Spitting silk!"

Swoosh—swoosh—

The snow-white silk threads knocked the feathers off.

"Chirp!" The air was tense as the blue-feathered bird circled in the sky.

Come down here!

Kongkong is somewhat lacking in ranged attack methods... Yun Che thought to himself as he watched this scene.

"Kongkong, don't break the threads, pull them off!"

However, the results were still mediocre.

The silk threads cannot cause harm, and before the first bird falls to the ground, another bird can help its companion break free from the silk threads.

Moreover, the blue-feathered bird is not stupid; it can dodge, making the hit rate of the insect silk wreath worrisome.

However, with Kongkong around, the remaining two Qingling birds posed no threat; neither could really defeat the other.

"Ah Che." At this moment, Dr. Niu, who had put away his notebook, took out some pills that Yun Che didn't recognize. "Why don't you try feeding them to it?"

"it is good."

Understanding the situation, Yun Che took the pill and once again used the power of Changpan to try to calm the Qingling Bird down and give it the pill from Dr. Niu.

After some effort, the blue-feathered bird, having taken the pill, slowly recovered. It flapped its wings a few times and then took flight again, albeit unsteadily.

"唳——"

Once it took flight, the remaining blue-feathered birds gradually withdrew their hostility.

"Chirp!" Kongkong put his hands on his hips and took a few breaths.

I'm so angry!

Yun Che chuckled and patted its head. Extraordinary creatures with flying attributes naturally have an advantage in the air, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Things will get much better once I learn some ranged attack techniques.

Dr. Niu smiled with satisfaction as he watched the blue-feathered bird fly away.

In the past, similar situations would only provoke increasingly strong hostility from wild supernatural beings, causing the research difficulty to rise sharply.

With Yun Che's assistance, not only is the investigation and research easier, but we can also rescue wild supernatural creatures. He's really "useful".

"Are you tired?" Dr. Niu asked with a smile.

"Uh, it's okay."

Everlasting Power is indeed useful in the wild.

It's just that the Beast Tamer is a bit useless.

"Here, take this." Dr. Niu handed over a bottle. "A Bright Spirit Potion, which can help Beast Tamers recover their condition."

Yun Che suddenly realized what was happening, and after taking the money, he quickly said, "Thank you, Doctor."

After drinking the medicine, the taste was surprisingly good. It was slightly bitter, but had a refreshing minty aroma. Yun Che felt refreshed and his mental state improved considerably.

"How is it?"

"It's very effective!" Yun Che was somewhat surprised by the potion's effect.

It must be very expensive.

Dr. Niu laughed heartily, "You'll be dealing with this stuff a lot in the future."

As a researcher, who doesn't always keep some Bright Spirit Potions on hand to improve their skills?

However, the price won't be cheap, as they are all made from juices, leaves, petals, etc. extracted from some extraordinary plant-based organisms and prepared by pharmacists.

Even the bottles are made of biodegradable and harmless materials.

"Let's go, we need to observe at least two more extraordinary creatures."

The two continued on their way.

A gentle breeze carried a hint of heat, and the leaves rustled in the forest.

"Chirp?" Kongkong asked, looking puzzled as Yun Che stopped.

What's wrong, A-Che?

Looking back at Yun Che in a dark corner of the forest, he shook his head. "No."

After recovering somewhat with the help of the Bright Spirit Potion, he once again felt the rhythm emanating from the forest, as if it were telling him something, but... it was not strong and not very obvious.

Follow in Dr. Niu's footsteps.

The dark shadow reappeared under the tree where the Azure Feather Bird had been, and came to the potion bottle that Yun Che had discarded, gently sniffing it.

When the shadow disappeared, the bottle also disappeared.
