The next morning.

Around 7 o'clock, Sildiya was woken up by the chirping of birds outside the window, but she was still a little sleepy, so she continued to sleep until 9 o'clock.

After a while, he slowly sat up.

Shaking his head to wake himself up, Sylutia began to wash up, put on a goose-yellow summer dress, and went to the animal pen.

As usual, I greeted the big yellow dog that came over to greet me, touched its head, avoided the wagging tail, and then saw "Shadow-Walking Beast" who woke up.

Today I played with it as usual, moved my body a bit, and then fed Shadow-Walking Beast, touching its smooth black fur in the process.

Shadow-Walking Beast's head is similar to that of a wolf, but it is obviously much larger, and the mane at the neck will open when fighting. The dark hair is like filaments fluttering one by one, disturbing the surrounding light and interfering with the enemy's perception, making it difficult to lock on.

The Shadow-Walking Beast in front of us should be considered a sub-adult. When standing on four legs, it is slightly shorter than Sylutia. I heard from the uncle that if it were a fully adult Shadow-Walking Beast, it would stand nearly two meters high at the shoulder and could easily tear apart steel. It could turn into a flowing black shadow and swim around rapidly, making it difficult to catch.

Through this period of getting along with her, the Shadow-Walking Beast in front of her has gradually become familiar with her and met the conditions for domestication. After that, she only needs to establish a perceptual connection with the help of rituals to completely domesticate her.

Unfortunately, she is not Class of Beast Tamer. I heard from the uncle that Beast Tamer Class can use Core Secret Art to establish a synergy contract with the beasts. Not only can the two parties communicate with each other, but they can also use each other's strength to fight in resonance. No matter which party advances, the other party can gain gains and benefits.

After arriving at the city level, the beast tamer can rely on Zhan Shan's power, and Zhan Shan can also receive the protection from Beast Tamer, similar to "Castle" Aspect Power's generals who provide protection to their warriors.

Although Beast Tamer is also a good Class, Sildiya feels that her energy is limited, so just raising one Shadow-Walking Beast is enough.

After feeding, Sylutia took out two potions and asked Shadow-Walking Beast in front of her to open her mouth. She poured one of them in and asked the other person to drink it first to see the effect.

Puzzled, this Shadow-Walking Beast put the medicine on his tongue and swallowed it.

After a while, it felt a little cool in its body, as if invisible cool filaments were swimming in the blood, and its whole brain became clearer.

It seemed to feel good. It lifted its tail and turned, lay down, stretched, and then walked a few steps around the room.

Sylutia took out his notebook and observed it carefully. Occasionally, he would ask the other person to come over and touch his head lightly with his fingers to sense his condition.

It seems that the effect is not bad. If you use two more, you don't have to worry about "Blood Mania" before advancing to the fourth level, and the body's sensitivity and fitness can also be improved by about 30%.

After Sildiya finished recording, she nodded slightly, and it was enough to refine Purple Mustard Blood-Clearing Potion once more. After that, it was time to try to refine the "Breath of Mist" potion. This is the elixir that can improve "Mist Shadow" Aspect Power. Many Transcendent will be used when advancing from the second level to the third level.

The team that Sildya joined for the first time in the Woodland Alliance was when she and Bad Apple went to find "Stone Mist Spring Water" who made the potion. I remember that it took a lot of effort and the team almost overturned.

Time flies so fast, Sylutia sighed.

After finishing, Sildiya went to the tavern for lunch, then returned to her residence and began to write down the knowledge related to herb picking. She also introduced in detail the characteristics of common herbs near Gloomy Forest in the appendix.

After finishing transcribing these, Sylutia stood up, sorted and bound them, and then went to the tavern.

This meeting time is three o'clock in the afternoon, which is exactly the time the two agreed yesterday.

After arriving at the tavern, she found that Noah had arrived and waved to her.

"Good afternoon, Miss Hedra."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Noah." Sylutia came to the table and handed over the compiled notes.

"I compiled this, you can take a look."

"Thank you." After the other party took it, he quickly flipped through it. Although he was not practicing "Secret Speech", he had received a complete education. Noah quickly understood the knowledge and skills in it, recalled his previous experiences, and gained a lot of insights.

"It's really a big help, Hedra." Putting down the note, Noah was excited.

"It's okay." Sildiya shook her head slightly, and then the two sat in the tavern and chatted for a while, and then Noah took the notes and eagerly went back to study.

Look at this, he will be reading non-stop during this period, Sildiya thought to herself.

In the next month, Sildiya also began to try various secret techniques and potions to train Shadow-Walking Beast and improve her strength.

Slowly, this Shadow-Walking Beast was able to understand many complex instructions, and its strength gradually increased with the nourishment of Sildia's various delicious foods and excellent medicines.

A month later, when she appeared at the Mage Guild with this completely domesticated Shadow-Walking Beast, the lady at the counter was shocked.

"Hedra, is this guy really fully tame?" The Shadow-Walking Beast following Sildiya is much taller. When walking on four legs, it is about the same height as Sylutia. Its dark hair is fluttering like black flowing clouds.

Because it is a creature of "Mist Shadow, Aspect Power", it is specialized in attack and concealment. It walks silently, and the breath of Aspect Power level is also hidden. If you are not paying attention, you may not notice it until you are in front of you.

"Yes, it has been trained." Sylutia nodded, and a transparent and illusory card appeared in front of his eyes.

[Pulse Rhythm Synergy(Shadow-Walking Beast)](Blood Law); Establishing synergistic connections with other beings through the heart and blood pulse is one of the most common synergistic abilities.

This ability can communicate simple information and instructions to each other when they are not far apart, and use their own "Blood Law Aspect Power to slightly enhance each other's strength."

This ability card comes from the book <Herding and Walking> she saw before, and she completed Pulse Rhythm Synergy according to the ritual in the book.

Since ancient times, it has been common to cultivate combat partners to enhance combat power, and many secret methods have been born as a result, such as "Blood Law's [Pulse Rhythm Synergy], Insect Moth's [ Sound Bee Array], "Spiral Fish"'s [Backflow Swimming], "Alien Star's [Anchor Contract], all have similar effects.

Taming beasts is not difficult for Sildiya. The reason why she chose "Shadow-Walking Beast" was mainly because the opponent's ability was more convenient.

After stroking the mane of the tall Shadow-Walking Beast beside him, Sylutia's thoughts flowed and commanded, and the figure of the Shadow-Walking Beast suddenly turned into a flowing black shadow, blended into the shadow behind the girl, and disappeared.

This is another use of "Shadow-Walking" ability of "Shadow-Walking Beast".

Seeing the tall Shadow-Walking Beast disappear in the shadow of Sylutia, the lady at the counter looked in surprise, and it took her a while to understand what was going on.

"No wonder the purchase price of Shadow-Walking Beast is so high. Doesn't it mean that you have an extra hidden bodyguard with you?"

Bodyguard, probably not. After all, this guy is not as strong as me, but some simple tasks can be left to him in the future, Sylutia thought to himself, and called out Shadow-Walking Beast again, and touched the hair on the back of the opponent's neck.

Since this guy has grown a lot, Sildya can no longer reach its head, so now she can only do the next best thing and touch the fur on its back.

Race: Special Magic Creature (Wolf-Leopard Variant)

Status: Health (Pulse Rhythm Synergy)

Talent: Pitch-Dark Fur [Excellent Level]; The fur can absorb light and weaken the sound caused by activities, making it difficult to detect when moving.

Fate Card:[Shadow-Walking Beast][Level 3·Mist Shadow]

The ever-present Magic Creature can follow the opponent in his shadow and launch attacks at any time."

-Effect: [Shadow-Walking Step LV.6], the talent in your bloodline makes your actions silent, like flowing dark clouds, the aura of Aspect Power level converges and disappears, making it difficult for people to detect.

-Effect: [Shadow-Walking hole V.6], it can transform into a flowing black shadow and gallop, or it can hide in the shadow and wait for the opportunity, which makes Shadow-Walking Beast a powerful hunter.

Core Card:[Phantom Beast][Mist Shadow]

"You wandered in the lightless forest, killing and devouring many enemies, but leaving no trace of your body. Very few living creatures knew of your existence, just like a phantom legend in the forest."

- Effect: [Phantom Body], which can turn oneself into a disembodied phantom, and enhance the abilities related to "Mist Shadow." The phantom-like ability can be exerted for a long time.

Ability card:

[Fangs LV.6](Beast Fang): It has sharp teeth and fangs that far exceed those of beasts. It can tear metal, and sharpen and repair it spontaneously. (Most beast creatures will acquire three types of abilities: teeth/horns/claws, which originate from the "Beast Fang" Aspect Power instinct flowing in their blood.)

[Hazy Shadow Fur LV.7](Mist Shadow): The hair on your body will flutter while walking, disturbing the light, interfering with perception, making it impossible to lock on, causing visual fatigue and difficulty in concentration.

[Blood Devouring Method Zhav.5](Blood Law): Digest the devoured flesh and blood, and slightly enhance one's own strength. (Increase in size, strength, Aspect Power improvement)

After Xirudiya's training in the past month, the various abilities of this Shadow-Walking Beast have improved a bit, and now it should be comparable to the adult Shadow-Walking Beast in the wild. However, with the special training and training of humans, its upper limit is not limited to the present, and there is room for further improvement in the future.

If it is properly cultivated and trained to learn some specialized abilities, it will not be difficult to advance in the future, Sylutia thought to himself.

From now on, there should be no shortage of caretakers in the family. Maybe they can even use it to deliver messages, serve as a mount or something, but it is probably only used for walking. When it comes to fighting, this guy may not be as nimble and quick as her.
