Su Ping grew interested.
Xiao Qing was still very young, but the talent he had already displayed was enough to surprise Su Ping!
Originally, he thought he would have to wait for Xiao Qing to grow a little older and his Rank to increase before he could buy some poison-type resources for him to consume.
Only then would Xiao Qing be able to master this mutated poison-type ability, but now it seemed he had greatly underestimated Xiao Qing's talent!
"Well done!"
Rubbing Xiao Qing's proudly raised head, Su Ping's gaze swept over the other Forest Wolves, and soon, his eyes locked onto the smallest one.
This Forest Wolf was the weakest among all the ordinary Forest Wolves present, and his Rank was only one level higher than Xiao Qing's.
He was merely an ordinary Rank Three.
Before, Su Ping had never considered Xiao Qing to have any combat power at this stage.
However, now that Xiao Qing had comprehended a skill, he wanted to see the effect and power of this Poison Vine Entanglement.
So, he looked at Old Sha:
"Old Sha, let that little guy fight Xiao Qing!"
Only by growing in battle can one become more adept at using skills.
And Su Ping also wanted to see what level the Poison Vine Entanglement, which Xiao Qing had just comprehended, had reached.
"Awoo!"
The small Forest Wolf, called out by Old Sha, stepped forward, cautiously looking at Su Ping and the proud little wolf with his head raised beside Su Ping's pant leg.
Evidently, this little wolf was also born recently, and his talent was relatively ordinary; even though he was one Rankhigher than Xiao Qing, he had not comprehended the Vine Entanglement skill.
Facing his opponent, Xiao Qing did not show the same intimacy as he did with Su Ping, but instead displayed a hint of disdain, and his still somewhat childish howl rang out.
A fierce glint flashed in the small Forest Wolf's eyes, and he directly pounced.
However, before he could even get close to Xiao Qing, vines, which had appeared at some unknown moment, had already tightly wrapped around him.
The purple-green, tender vines seemed to lack power, yet, having entered the Rank, they already far surpassed the strength of an ordinary person.
"Woo…"
The small Forest Wolf let out a howl, trying hard to struggle free, but Su Pingkeenly observed that at this moment, the small Forest Wolf's strength was greatly reduced compared to normal!
At the same time, his wounds were somewhat swollen.
This toxicity is very strong!
After Su Ping used the Soul connection to make Xiao Qing stop, the scarred little Forest Wolf was finally freed from the Poison Vine's entanglement, but he seemed to have been completely drained of strength, unable even to stand.
Xiao Qing's Poison Vine Entanglement primarily relies on blood-numbing toxicity.
If he were truly facing an enemy in a life-or-death struggle, the enemy might not even feel pain within these poison vines, but would lose all resistance and die.
Feeling happy for Xiao Qing, Su Pingquickly picked up the helpless little Forest Wolf and rushed with Old Sha to the medical room; after administering the antidote and seeing him gradually recover, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This little Forest Wolf opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Qing, who was standing triumphantly on Su Ping's shoulder, and there was a hint of loss in his opened eyes.
Su Ping stopped, thought for a moment, then slowly squatted down, rubbing the head of this small wolf, also only thirty centimeters tall, and smiled:
"It's okay, you'll get stronger too in the future. As long as you're at the Heart of Wood, I won't give up on any little guy! Keep up the good work!"
"Awoo!"
Before this little Forest Wolf could even open his mouth, Xiao Qing, standing on Su Ping's shoulder, let out a somewhat jealous cry, lightly leaped down beside Su Ping, and tugged at Su Ping's pant leg with his nascent sharp fangs.
Then Xiao Qing looked at his defeated opponent with somewhat unfriendly eyes.
This guy actually thought of such a method to compete for his master's affection; how despicable!
But just as he bared his fangs, Su Pinggently patted him on the head; when dealing with wolves and any pet beasts, besides showing affection, it's even more important to let them know who the true master is.
Xiao Qing felt a little wronged.
"The Heart of Wood is a big family. From now on, you are not allowed to bully your other companions, and you must help each other! Understood?"
Xiao Qing held his head with his two tender paws, but still let out an 'awoo,' clearly responding.
The weak little wolf, however, looked at Su Ping with some surprise, then glanced at the little Forest Wolf who was somewhat different from him, and determination appeared in his eyes.
Then, he forced himself to stand up on his still slightly trembling legs and let out a similarly childish cry.
"Awoo!"
As if to prove that he wasn't as bad as he seemed.
"Good! Very spirited!"
Su Ping smiled with satisfaction, placed him on the ground, and at the same time brought topical ointment to help relieve the pain of the rapidly healing wounds.
Old Sha, standing outside the medical room door, watched Su Ping's back as he squatted on the ground in the morning sun.
Beside that back were two equally small figures.
One was weak but determined, the other proud and indignant, but facing Su Ping, they showed no resistance.
Seeing this scene, a hint of a smile flashed in Old Sha's eyes.
He didn't understand why, after he consumed the medicine made by his young master, he was able to Awaken the skills and power of the Heart of Wood.
He also didn't understand how his young master dared to say such things.
But, at this moment, Su Ping's back standing in the morning light seemed to truly make Old Sha believe that...
This young master, who had just become a Beastmaster, might be able to make this small pet beast cultivation base completely different, and perhaps in the future, he might even become a more remarkable Beastmaster than his grandfather?
And just then, Su Ping suddenly paused slightly.
A new notification appeared again on the record log of the Forest Wolf Illustrated Guide in his mind:
"Discovered and interacted with an ordinary Forest Wolf, intimacy met requirements, Illustrated Guide Rankexperience +10!"
"This Forest Wolf is of ordinary Bloodline, subsequent daily interactions will grant +1 Illustrated Guide experience!"
The experience wasn't much, neither the experience gained from meeting the intimacy requirements nor the Illustrated Guide experience from interacting with him daily was much.
However, this was enough to make Su Ping pleasantly surprised.
Yes, treating pet beasts is actually much simpler than interacting with people.
Pet beasts' senses are much sharper than humans'; they can feel who is benevolent.
Therefore, when dealing with pet beasts, only two words are needed:
That is 'sincerity'!
Thinking of this, Su Ping stood up directly and waved his hand:
"Don't worry, little guys, from now on, our Heart of Wood will launch a rapid advancement plan! Let every Forest Wolf Awaken the Heart of Wood skill! We'll start with you and Xiao Qing!"
"Awoo…"
"Awoo…"
Two childish wolf howls, sounding together, seemed to be congratulating their master's ambition.
Only Old Sha, who had been standing outside the door with a smile in his eyes, had his expression drop.
From the sound of it, was his young master going to start making that stuff again?
Although he now felt the benefits of that stuff, the smell was truly too memorable for a wolf.
It was indeed a resolve that left one with lingering fear.
