"A tutor?" Telingewei leaned to the side. "You mean, send it back to the Griffin to be taught?"

"Of course not, that's too far. And having to go back to his original family for help because the flight didn't go smoothly would probably be a blow to Nibote."

After pondering his thoughts, Telingewei immediately understood. "Peryton?"

Xie Juanhan said in unison, "Peryton."

They all uttered the same name in unison.

Xie Juanhan also turned to the side and gestured for Telingewei to give him a high five.

The two clapped their hands while lying on their sides.

Xie Juanhan rested his head on his bent arm, looking at Telingewei: "The Peryton have deer bodies and eagle wings, and the griffins have Griffin bodies and eagle wings. They have things in common, so it should be easier for them to learn. Moreover, the Peryton have always lived in groups, so they should have unique insights into flocking and formation flying. Nibote should be able to learn them quite well."

"They may not want to teach Nibote," Telingewei said.

"No problem, we can just hire them. We've already established some good relations, I'll talk to them."

Xie Juanhan got along very well with the Peryton.

He specifically invited Peryton and his group to the pond to discuss this matter.

Xie Juanhan first invited the Peryton to taste the aquatic plants in the pond. "These aquatic plants have been nourished by the Dragon Power and are slightly different from the aquatic plants in the Inner Land. Please try them."

In winter, the Peryton couldn't get much fresh fodder, and they were all quite hungry.

Xie Juanhan offered them water plants, and their eyes lit up as soon as they tasted them.

"Is it delicious?" Xie Juanhan patted the nearest Peryton. "These water plants should be considered level one magical plants. They taste better than ordinary plants, are rich in Magic Power, and are good for your health."

The Peryton moved their mouths vigorously, tearing at the seaweed and chewing.

They nodded firmly only when Xie Juanhan looked into their eyes.

Seeing that they liked them, Xie Juanhan said, "I want to make a deal with you; the reward is water plants."

Peryton: "Roar."

Xie Juanhan pointed to the Griffin waiting in the distance. "It's like this, Nibote has been learning to fly recently, but since he's Griffin here, he can't learn the skills of flying in flocks. So I wanted to ask you to let him learn with you."

Flying in groups is indeed different from flying solo.

The airflow generated during flight, the energy-saving techniques of specific formations, and the essentials of group hunting are all different from solo flight.

The Peryton didn't find anything strange about Xie Juanhan's request at all.

It's Griffin--

They looked at the half-grown Griffin nestled among their Companion Beast, and hesitated.

Xie Juanhan glanced at it.

This year's Peryton herd has a total of 34 Peryton, of which only three are half-grown Peryton less than a year old.

Xie Juanhan said, "I will pay you with three level-one Demonic Core and one hundred catties of aquatic plants every day. You don't need to teach it anything extra; just bring it with you when you're teaching the little Peryton to fly."

The Peryton chieftain glanced at the Peryton beside him, then at the Griffin in the distance.

Seeing this, the impatient Peryton wanted nothing more than to bite the leader, urging it to quickly respond with a roar!

Seeing an opportunity, Xie Juanhan waved. "Nibote!"

The Griffin immediately stood up and quickly ran to Xie Juanhan's feet.

The Companion Beast and Moli also ran over.

The furry creatures all looked at the Peryton.

The Peryton felt somewhat uncomfortable under their gaze.

Xie Juanhan softened his voice. "Please."

Finally, the Peryton agreed, "Awooo!"

Xie Juanhan looked directly into the eyes of Peryton and the others, and made his request again. "I haven't really learned this kind of group flight mode either. If it's possible, could I just watch from the sidelines?"

The Peryton readily agreed, "Hoo!"

Xie Juanhan quickly paid the reward in advance: 1,500 catties of aquatic plants and 45 level-one Demonic Core.

If Nibote had completed all the flight courses ahead of schedule, he wouldn't have needed Peryton to refund their fees.

If Nibote still cannot fly properly after fifteen days, Xie Juanhan will compensate them based on the actual number of days.

This was the first time that Peryton and his colleagues had encountered this model of advance payment, and they were very pleased.

Xie Juanhan rode the giant dragon and watched from the sidelines, and they did not resist at all.

The way the Peryton teach the cubs to fly is definitely different from how they teach them to fly.

After teaching the Peryton to fly and confirming that they could all fly, the first thing they did was take them flying in circles.

Their flight training grounds are located next to the sea cliffs.

When the wind hits the sea cliff, the air rises and forms a slope.

The Peryton jumped onto the wind-blown slope one by one, gliding in circles along it, skillfully hovering in the air.

Xie Juanhan, who could fly, sensed the wind direction immediately.

But he didn't have similar skills.

He sat in the sunlight, watching the Griffin leap out with the Peryton, clumsily circling and soaring, a smile playing on his lips.

Telingewei transformed back into human form and sat down next to him.

The Peryton roared and directed their offspring to circle around the column of air, spiraling upwards.

The Peryton are all yellow, ranging from light yellow to deep yellow to yellowish-brown; each Peryton has a different coat color.

The half-grown Griffin, with its entirely golden-red plumage, stood out prominently among them.

Xie Juanhan saw it at first glance.

Nibote studied very diligently.

In the Peryton flock, it was carried by the wind, making it far less difficult than it would be to fly alone.

It has more time and can adjust its movements more leisurely.

When its body is less tense, it no longer unconsciously twists its waist, sticks out its rear, or paddles to fly forward.

After the cubs had become familiar with basic flying skills, the Peryton began to teach them finer flying maneuvers.

Rotating wings, adjusting angles, tilting bodies... every subtle adjustment made by the Big Peryton changes their flight direction and speed.

When Nibote and the three Peryton cubs discovered this, they immediately started imitating him.

The three-headed Peryton cub had a good foundation and learned quickly.

Nibote had no experience flying in flocks, and his previous flying performance was rather average.

When the Big Peryton changed their movements, it flew rather erratically.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were sitting on the sea cliff.

When Nibote saw them, his heart would calm down, and he would readjust his movements to keep up with the rhythm of Peryton's circling flight.

Xie Juanhan sat on the sea cliff with Nibote, hoping that seeing its parents would give it a sense of security and allow it to concentrate on flying.

Otherwise, with him absent, the Peryton might not be so friendly.

Having received payment, they probably won't deliberately bully Nibote, but they certainly won't deliberately take care of him either.

If Nibote makes a mistake while flying, it could easily crash into the sea.

If he doesn't come, Nibote falls ten or twenty times a day, you can't blame the likes of Peryton.

If he had come, Nibote probably wouldn't have fallen so many times.

Xie Juanhan squinted at the blue sky.

It's so cold outside; it would be terrible to fall into the sea.

If you can avoid falling, then do it.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei specially put aside their trivial matters to stay here with Nibote.

Encouraged, it did fly quite well, but it still couldn't avoid being buffeted by the wind.

Xie Juanhan saw Nibote cover his mouth with his paws several times, burping behind his paws.

It hiccuped as it flew, which actually made it drink even more air.

Some organisms inevitably swallow water when swimming.

Learning to fly and constantly drinking the wind is quite rare.

Xie Juanhan found Nibote, who was hiccuping as he flew, extremely cute.

Especially when it burps, its round ears and furry bottom vibrate, and its tail wags rhythmically.

Unlike Xie Juanhan, the Peryton had never seen a little kid who could learn to fly and still end up burping.

They looked at Nibote in astonishment.

Some unscrupulous Peryton began to laugh loudly in the air.

Nibote covered his mouth with his claws, but he still couldn't stop hiccuping as he flew.

Every time I hit him, the hair from his head to his buttocks jiggled.

This is so much fun!

The Peryton held back for a moment, but more and more of Peryton couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Nibote angrily cried out, "Meow!"

Peryton: "Aww!"

Nibote was hiccuping as he shouted.

The Peryton laughed as they flew.

Chaos quickly erupted in the air, with several Peryton laughing so hard they bumped into each other.

Xie Juanhan pulled Telingewei towards the direction they were flying in circles, trying to help Nibote out of his predicament.

Nibote suddenly floated up in mid-air with his wings spread.

The Peryton, seeing its appearance, didn't react for a moment. "Aww?"

Nibote stared at the Peryton in the air, let out a fart, and then several more.

The Peryton, which were flying in circles of wind, were caught off guard and immediately struck.

That's a carnivore's fart.

The fermented protein emitted an indescribable stench, which quickly dissipated in the wind.

Xie Juanhan stopped immediately and took a step back.

Before Telingewei could react, he grabbed Telingewei's clothes on his shoulders with both hands, transformed back into dragon form, dragged Telingewei backward, and flew a long distance in the opposite direction.

At this moment, the Peryton, who had been almost frozen in mid-air, finally reacted and flew to the side with a howl.

The little Griffin stopped in place, head held high and chest puffed out, with a smug look of satisfaction, as if it had finally gotten its revenge on Peryton for mocking it. "Meow!"

The Peryton roared in fury, "Awooo!"
