Chapter 432: Trick a few stupid birds

Tang Nan glanced at his father and said, "Dad, don't you know how to control beasts? Why don't you just use your powers to control them? Why do you have to tie them up?"

Mr. Tang, who was holding a duck's wing, froze and glared at Tang Nan. "You think Beast Taming is something you can use casually? I can catch these ducks myself, so why would I need Beast Taming? Don't think you can handle everything with super powers. Catching them without super powers is real skill."

After being scolded, Tang Nan did not feel wronged at all. Instead, he felt a little happy. He felt that his father was praising his ability.

“Ohhhh~~”

Just as the father and son tied a bunch of ducks to a dead wooden stake outside the reed marsh and were about to continue looking for ducks and picking up duck eggs in the reeds, a sound like a baby crying suddenly came from above their heads, coming from far away.

Immediately afterwards, a huge shadow fell above their heads.

The father and son looked up vigilantly. When they saw the huge bird above, Mr. Tang froze and his face suddenly became solemn.

Could it be that his bad luck was right and they had encountered a powerful enemy?

Judging from his years of experience in animal observation, this eagle with a sharp aura and an extremely ferocious appearance was definitely a mutant bird of SS level or above.

However, it doesn't seem to be a berserker.

Old Master Tang squinted his eyes to look at the eyes of the eagle hovering in the sky, and found that the vertical pupils were indeed not scarlet, but emerald green, and the eyes were sharp and intelligent, with an appearance of wisdom.

It was indeed not a berserk beast, but a mutated eagle.

But the eagle's cry is a bit strange.

He had never heard the eagle cry.

Tang Nan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the eagle's full appearance, and then became excited, "Dad, this eagle has an owner. It's the father of the clothing store owner. Mr. Wilson kept it as a pet in the Demon Refining Pot. It's a Gu eagle. I also know its name is Xiaoying."

"Mr. Wilson must have brought it out hunting. Don't worry, Dad. It won't attack us."

When Mr. Tang heard this, he turned his head and looked at him in surprise, "Could it be that Wilson is also a beastmaster?"

Tang Nan scratched his head and said confusedly, "That shouldn't be the case. Mr. Wilson should be an orc."

"Then how did he tame such a ferocious Gu Diao?" Old Master Tang expressed great doubt.

This question stumped Tang Nan. He looked bewildered. "I don't know either, but I heard that villagers in Global Village can adopt pets as long as they meet the requirements."

Elder Tang was silent for a moment. "This Global Village is indeed quite mysterious. Now even beastmasters can do their jobs. It turns out that our family is right to go the breeding route. Otherwise, we will have no future relying solely on beastmaster abilities."

"By the way, how did you know that?"

We all arrived at the Global Village at the same time. How could Tang Nan, who looks so honest, know so much?

Mr. Tang looked at him suspiciously.

Tang Nan smiled innocently, "This morning, when I went to see Village Chief Yun to deliver breakfast to the little mermaid, I ran into Miss Delis and Mr. Wilson talking in front of the clothing store. This Gu Eagle was parked next to Mr. Wilson."

Old Master Tang glanced at him. This kid has made great progress. He can keep his eyes and ears open now. Not bad, he is much smarter than when he was in the detention room.

Crash——

Just as the father and son were talking, the Gu Diao that was hovering overhead suddenly swooped down and pulled out a big fish from the water.

The fish was as thick as a human arm and half as long as a human arm. Its tail was flapping, making it look particularly fat.

Mr. Tang's eyes suddenly lit up. "Yes, there's a river here, and there are fish in the river. Didn't Tang Hongmao say that the little mermaid likes to eat seafood? Let's catch some fish and take them back. The fish here are much bigger than those mullet."

He rubbed his hands, his old face full of excitement.

Tang Nan looked at the big fish in the Gu Diao's mouth and felt a little greedy. He nodded immediately after hearing this, "Yes, this fish is really big. We can eat it for a long time. But how do we catch it?"

Tang Nan grew up in a detention room in the base. Although his father taught him how to write and read, he really didn't understand some common sense of the outside world, and most of it was only a superficial understanding.

For example, fishing is said to be done with a net, but you can also use a bamboo pole.

But he had never seen it before, so he scratched his head and subconsciously looked around to see if there was a bamboo pole.

Father Tang, however, looked at the Gu Diao flying away with the fish in its mouth and came up with an idea. With an eager look on his face, he said proudly, "It's just catching a fish, how can it be difficult for your father?"

"You wait here and keep an eye on the ducks. I'll go and trick a few stupid birds into helping me catch fish."

As he spoke, Mr. Tang walked towards the reed marsh excitedly. He had seen it before and saw several large water birds resting there. They would definitely be experts at catching fish.

Tang Nan opened his mouth, but couldn't stop him. He could only watch his father walk away as fast as the wind.

Soon his figure was submerged by the tall reeds.

Tang Nan could only shut his mouth and look around nervously.

Without his father, he was just an ordinary person who was powerless. Even though the danger in this food mountain range was much less than that in the Snow Mountain and the Demon Refining Pot, it was still dangerous for him. Even a violent fang rabbit could knock him away.

Snap——

Suddenly, a sticky fruit core hit his forehead, causing the already nervous Tang Nan to jump up in fright.

He turned his head in panic to look around, and cautiously moved closer to the ducks.

"Hey, silly boy, what are you looking at? I'm on top."

An arrogant laugh was heard. Tang Nan looked up and saw a white-haired old man squatting on a tree branch and eating fruit with a smile on his face.

The sticky peach pit just now was thrown down by him.

Although Tang Nan looks silly, he is actually not stupid. He thinks that this little old man who looks like a naughty boy is not someone to be trifled with, so he'd better not act rashly now.

Thinking of this, Tang Nan bowed respectfully to the old man in the tree and asked with a bit of vigilance in his eyes, "Old sir, do you need any help?"

Zhou Botong's eyes lit up. This seemingly silly boy was quite sensible. He touched his stomach, licked his lips, and looked at the ducks on the ground with shining eyes. "There is indeed something I need your help with. I'm hungry now. Can you give me a duck?"

Tang Nan was stunned by his straightforward and unpretentious style. Then he frowned and looked very conflicted. He could give him other things, but his father had to take these ducks back to raise them, and he couldn't give him one less.
