Kana brushed off the disguises from his body: "Of course I know, I was just giving it a try. After all, using such creatures as mounts would be incredibly useful."
"Really?" Bobo didn’t quite understand, she only knew that Land Birds were very irritable and wild, not so easy to tame.
Alyris helped pat down Kana, clearing off the stuff on him.
"Your Highness, why did you suddenly think of taming these creatures? We should not have that much time and energy, right?"
Taming unfamiliar creatures is not that easy, even Alyris knows the difficulties involved.
It requires generations of breeding and building relationships.
Even with already tamed warhorses, knights need endless training to bond with them.
Let alone these completely wild creatures.
"Alas, seems like there’s no other way."
Kana took out the fragment from his pocket.
Looks like he can only use this fragment.
Although he didn’t expect his original plan to succeed, what if it did?
He sighed, gripped the fragment tightly, and closed his eyes.
Soon, two new profession slots appeared in his secondary profession.
[Beast Tamer] [Farmer].
He put most of the energy into the [Beast Tamer], but the remaining energy was apparently more than what an ordinary secondary profession requires.
Kana found a difference using the Stone of Creation in reality.
If what he wants to add is life-related, more energy will be consumed.
The last four secondary professions he added were manufacturing-related, dealing with materials.
But these two secondary professions deal with living beings, one with animals, the other with plants.
The energy consumption shot up instantly.
This should be remembered, and he must plan carefully later.
Kana tapped [Beast Tamer] and immediately took the profession.
Then he allocated all the given points to beast taming.
In his mind, he automatically learned how to tame beasts.
"Let’s go meet up with Raelia and the others."
Raelia and the others were observing these Land Bird nests.
Land Birds are communal creatures, with a group usually consisting of 6~10 adults.
If the territory is large enough, it might even give rise to a massive group. Of course, this is unlikely, at least not in the Eastern Wilderness.
Raelia, carrying a long spear, looked puzzled at Kana and his companions who had just returned: "Didn’t catch anything?"
Kana looked at her oddly: "Who said I was hunting? I want to tame them."
Upon hearing that, Raelia looked at him as if he were crazy.
"Even taming wild horses isn’t something that can be done right away. Even I know that." She couldn’t resist critiquing.
"You don’t believe it?"
Raelia shook her head: "I don’t believe it, especially since those birds look so fierce and wild."
Hearing Kana’s words, Raelia became alert, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"No, you must have some special ability. I won’t bet with you."
"You’ve gotten smarter!" Bobo couldn’t help but say, looking at Raelia.
This didn’t sound like something Raelia would say, nor did it seem like a thought she could come up with.
"Haha, well... I’m not dumb to begin with, you dead rat, are you insulting me in a roundabout way?" Raelia immediately realized the issue, her previously pleased expression now collapsed.
"Seems like you’ve indeed gotten smarter. Did Kana’s blessing make your mind sharper? Or perhaps did being watched by the world improve your wit?" Bobo muttered, jotting this hypothesis down in her notebook.
"Hey, I’m talking to you!"
"Yes, I’m listening."
Seeing Raelia’s attention diverted, Kana said to them: "Wait here; I’ll try again."
With that, Kana dashed out, preparing in the jungle.
Then he slowly approached the nests once more.
This time, his body emitted a wave close to nature, like Kana was sending a signal of safety to the animals.
With the support of the [profession], it went much more smoothly this time.
The surrounding Land Birds gave him a cautious glance and then gradually came over, curiously tilting their heads at him.
After Kana prepared some food for them, the Land Birds visibly grew closer to him and even began nudging their heads against him.
Kana stroked their feathers, having done it countless times in games, making him quite adept.
He instantly captured the hearts of these Land Birds, who swarmed around Kana, nudging against him.
The chicks also wobbled their way over to Kana’s side.
Kana crouched to start playing with the chicks, quickly building a rapport with the adult birds.
"Am I seeing things?" Raelia rubbed her eyes and asked.
"You’re not cursed." Abis said beside her, then smiled: "Wanna try?"
"Uh... no need." Raelia waved her hand.
"How did he do it?" Bobo couldn’t help but ask.
Just now, Kana was heavily beaten, and now he’s fine.
"Gemstone." Alyris offered a hint.
After Kana bonded well with this group of Land Birds, they stayed for two whole days.
