Standing next to him was his companion, a young man who looked about the same age as him and had freckles on his face.
The two of them were the youngest people present, except for Qiao Bai.
The unfriendly gaze that Qiao Bai felt just now came from these two people.
Noticing that Qiao Bai had looked in their direction, the young man with a flat head snorted heavily at Qiao Bai, and the word "provocation" was almost written clearly in his eyes.
Although the freckled young man next to him also looked down on Qiao Bai, he really didn't intend to take the initiative to provoke Qiao Bai. The moment his eyes met Qiao Bai's, expressions of social despair, embarrassment, and pain appeared on his face in turn.
Seeing this, Qiao Bai couldn't help but curl his lips.
It's quite interesting. They are socially anxious and look down on him... Qiao Bai is a little curious about what kind of image he has in the minds of these people. Why do these two people have such a big grudge against him?
Qiao Bai didn't understand, and tried to communicate with Qi Rong with his eyes...but the communication failed.
It turns out.
Although the two of them came together, there was really no tacit understanding between them.
On the contrary, the elderly beautiful woman next to him and another big man who had worked out so hard that his body looked like a pair of double doors, looked at Qiao Bai with a look of surprise in their eyes.
Well... young boys of this age should be the ones who cannot stand provocation.
After being struck by the looks from the flat-headed young man and the freckled young man, and then adding those impolite words... he would definitely explode, right? I didn't expect it.
Qiao Bai's mentality was much better than they imagined.
With their keen eyesight, they can naturally tell whether a person is pretending not to care or really does not care.
Like Qiao Bai, he really wasn't angry at all.
tolerant.
calm.
The magnanimity displayed by Qiao Bai all comes from his confidence in his own abilities.
The beautiful woman noticed this and looked at the man with the double doors. After exchanging glances, their evaluation of Qiao Bai suddenly went up.
Not to mention what Qiao Bai’s future achievements will be.
Just looking at the current achievements, plus Qiao Bai's magnanimity... Qiao Bai's future will definitely not be ordinary!
No matter whether it was the beautiful woman with a gentle smile or the serious brother who opened the double doors, there was some real respect in their eyes when they looked at Qiao Bai.
The young man with the flat head didn't expect that Qiao Bai was not angry at all after hearing what he said.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he said angrily: "It's installed already? You are worthy of being able to..."
"Sha Yi, stop talking... the teachers and the others are still watching us..." The freckled young man noticed Qi Rong's frown and quickly reached out to tug at Sha Yi's clothes.
Sha Yi also discovered it after being reminded.
He had no intention of shutting up and continued to nag: "Stop talking? Why don't you let me talk! Chen Yi, let go of your hand!"
"Not only do I want to say it, I want to say it loudly!" Sha Yi suddenly waved away his companion's hand, pointed at Qiao Bai and began to vent his inner dissatisfaction: "After all, the two of us are quasi-third-level beastmasters, and we are Mr. Mo's registered students. We are geniuses who will be admitted to the Beastmaster Academy next year!"
"We worked hard to be able to come here with Teacher Mo!"
"Why should he?"
"He has no strength, and his abilities are just boasting! What's the difference between bringing him along and bringing a burden along?"
"It would be better to let him come..."
Sha Yi was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"How do you know that Qiao Bai has no ability?" Qiao Bai didn't say anything, but Qi Rong was already getting a little impatient.
Before coming here, he had already mentioned Qiao Bai's affairs in the group repeatedly.
He also guessed in advance that these two students would most likely still dislike Qiao Bai.
But Qi Rong had given Qiao Bai a heads-up in advance. If it was just a minor friction, Qiao Bai would probably not take it to heart.
Qi Rong had some idea of Qiao Bai's magnanimity.
But unexpectedly, these two people started to attack as soon as they came up.
Especially when he heard the tone in their words that seemed to be speaking up for others... Qi Rong couldn't just sit there and watch.
"Xue Xiang, take care of your students." Qi Rong frowned and looked at the big brother who was holding the double doors.
The big brother at the double door also gave the two students a serious and cold look: "Shut up, this is not a place for you to quarrel."
"Strictly speaking, as long as you get the approval of me, Teacher Ye, and Teacher Qi, you can join this extracurricular exploration team. The opinions of the two of you are not important."
"Besides, it is still unknown whether you can officially become my students next year. Who told you to be so arrogant in front of me?"
A few words instantly shut the two of them up, and Sha Yi and Chen Yi didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Apology?" But this big brother Xuexiang from the double-door business obviously didn't intend to let them off so easily.
Sha Yi looked like he wanted to make some excuses, but the elder brother Xue Xiang didn't give them a chance at all: "You imposed your first impression on the other party and sprayed powder without knowing the real situation. Shouldn't you apologize?"
"If you don't want to apologize, you can leave now. In fact, the absence of you two from this extracurricular activity has nothing to do with it."
Sha Yi and Chen Yi: “!”
"I'm sorry!!!" A double apology sounded, and the freckled young man Chen Yi looked at Qiao Bai with a look of apology in his eyes.
The other young man with a flat head, Sha Yi, was different. His eyes were full of anger, but he didn't dare to vent it towards Qiao Bai.
He almost suffocated himself to death.
Under normal circumstances, Qiao Bai could still complain that the Flathead Brother is worthy of being called the Flathead Brother.
Now...
Qiao Bai: “?”
no?
Qiao Bai looked at the big brother with double doors in shock.
The bulging biceps and the two thick chest muscles that couldn't be covered by clothes... this figure, this appearance, this strong physique... you said his name is "Xue Xiang"? Qiao Bai didn't care about the thoughts of those two people at all, and naturally didn't care whether they apologized or not.
Qiao Bai looked at the beautiful woman.
This name obviously suits him better!
The beautiful woman met Qiao Bai's gaze, and an unconcealable smile immediately appeared in her eyes: "Little professor, don't look at me, I don't even have such a gentle name."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Linjie. I'm the teacher of the Supernatural Biology Coordination and Practical Course at the South China Higher Beast Taming College. You can just call me Teacher Ye." Ye Linjie said with a gentle smile, and then reached out and patted the big chest muscle of the double-doored man next to her: "This is Mo Xuexiang, my colleague, and the course I'm in charge of is the care and treatment of supernatural creatures."
Mo Xuexiang, whose chest muscles were photographed... Two blushes appeared on Teacher Mo's face, and his ears turned red a little bit. He almost couldn't maintain that serious expression.
Compared with him, the gentle and beautiful Ye Linjie is more like that lsp.
Qiao Bai: “…”
"The contrast between the two is quite big." Qiao Bai laughed and quickly accepted this reality.
There are all kinds of things in the world.
Just be happy.
Ye Linjie didn't seem to expect Qiao Bai to accept it so quickly. When she put her hand down, there was still a hint of disappointment on her face: "Huh? Did you accept it so quickly? I thought Teacher Qi brought a new person here, and I would be happy again... ahem, I would see some happy expressions again."
"Teacher Ye, you're almost there." Qi Rong pushed his glasses up with a look of incompetence and complaint.
Qiao Bai also deeply realized that this beautiful woman who looked gentle and kind was actually a fun-loving person, with some attributes of a tax evader.
Be careful.
Can't be offended easily.
Qiao Bai was communicating with the three teachers, but the flat-headed young man Sha Yi and the freckled young man Chen Yi, who were the first to arrive, were ignored.
Even if the two of them wanted to take the initiative to join in the conversation between the other four, they couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
After a while, two more people came, about thirty years old and full of energy.
However, just by taking a look at the temperament of these two people, Qiao Bai could tell that the two newcomers were not familiar with the people present, and were not even as familiar with him as he had just met Teacher Ye and Teacher Mo.
Should he be a member of the hired expedition team?
"Then let's all sit down and discuss the route to the forbidden land."
After the two people came in, Ye Linjie took the initiative to invite everyone to sit down and briefly introduced the identities of the people present.
Qi Rong will be responsible for analyzing and recording the extraordinary creatures living there based on the habitat they find.
Mo Xuexiang is responsible for logistics support.
叶琳婕，负责保护全队在禁忌之地内部的安全问题。
乔白，用他宠兽进化的专业知识，联合戚容一起对可能是阳光葵的超凡生物进行记录和就地分析。
沙乙和陈奕，莫老师的学生，长见识的同时和叶老师一起负责安全工作。
两个姓名并不是很重要的东洲市禁忌之地探险小队成员，主要是用他们丰富的野外经验，配合莫老师一起负责后勤。
八个人，作为一支需要深入禁忌之地临时组建起来的探险小队来说，这个人数不太多，但也不算少了。
只不过里面还有两个不是御兽师的普通人，戚容和莫雪香。
在得知了这一点后，乔白的眼神更加复杂了。
好家伙。
组队的三位老师，两男一女，经典的热血漫小组搭配。
最后告诉他，两位大兄弟都是娇花，反而是他们中唯一哪位女性，才是真正的攻坚手？
“小教授是在担心安全问题吗？别害怕哦～”叶琳婕说完后发现了乔白落在两个大男人身上怪异的眼神，她以为乔白是在担心，笑着撩了撩大波浪的长发说道：“我可是五阶御兽师，虽然想要再上一层很困难，不过我的实力还是能让小教授你放心的。”
“一个五阶御兽师，四个二阶御兽师，保护住这几个人还是绰绰有余了。”
说完叶琳婕对乔白眨了眨眼睛。
“叶老师您已经是五阶御兽师了吗？”并没有再担心安全问题，听到这话之后乔白还是相当的震惊。
好家伙。
五阶御兽师？ 六只超凡生物都契约满了的那种？
坐镇禁忌之地的御兽师也就这个等级了。
乔白对这一趟的安全问题是彻底一点都不担心了。
他们又不是冲着捕猎去的。
不主动招惹那些野生的超凡生物，只是从外到里再出来地走上一趟，有一个五阶御兽师在安全妥妥的。
其他两名被雇佣来的成员在听到叶琳婕自爆实力后，脸上也露出了震惊的表情。
服了服了。
安安心心做后勤吧。
三十多岁还只是二阶御兽师的他们拿什么和人家去比？
“在这方面叶老师的实力的确是可以信任的，杠杠的那种。”戚容也对着乔白竖起了大拇指：“我们俩好好做研究就行。”
“虽说我们是冲着那个乍一看很像是阳光葵的超凡生物去的，但要是路上遇上了其他的一些超凡生物，我们也不是不能稍微研究一下。”
说着戚容已经从口袋里掏出了随身携带的小本本和笔，低头“唰唰唰”地不知道在纸上写着什么。
“其实这次除了阳光葵以外，我本身对豆豆花有一定的兴趣。”
“然后就是迎迎草的季节过了，我想观察一下迎迎草消失之后对禁忌之地内超凡生物状态的影响……”
嘀嘀咕咕。
戚容的嘴里狂飙出了一大段的话。
叶老师露出了嫌弃的表情。
莫老师也扭过头去。
沙乙和陈奕倒是想上前配合着讨论两句，然后就被戚容忽略了。
戚容直接看向乔白：“来来来，乔白你看看这个，你有没有什么想法？”说着他把手里的本本递给了乔白。
直接被忽略掉的沙乙和陈奕：“……”
风吹过他们的身体，一阵凉意席卷而来。
沙乙看着乔白流畅地加入了和戚容的讨论之中，脸上露出了非常明显的不服气的表情。
“你有什么好不服气的？”叶琳婕靠在莫老师的大胸肌上，双手抱臂，一脸似笑非笑的表情说道。
“他和戚教授谈论的那些东西我们又不是不懂！”对乔白的不满，平头哥是张嘴就来：“我只是看不惯那家伙一副高高在上……”
叶琳婕听着更想笑了：“高高在上？你哪只眼睛看出小教授高高在上的？”
“你觉得他们讨论的东西你都懂？”叶琳婕又笑了一声。
“我就先不说你懂到什么程度吧，就看你和小教授年龄上的差距，人家小教授是个高中生，你正在考高等御兽学院、即将大学毕业，你们俩之间年龄的差距被你无视了还是被狗吃了？”
“你在高中的时候能做到小教授这个程度吗？”
“做不到这一路上就给我闭嘴，我懒得计较你那点小心思和所谓的为同伴打抱不平。”
“就算都是提携后辈，我们想提携谁需要和你商量吗。”
平头青年沙乙的脸火辣辣的。
不管是叶琳婕的话，还是落在他身上的视线，都好像是将他这个人彻底地看透看穿，看到了他内心深处的每一个想法。
本来还想说些什么打抱不平的沙乙说不出话来了。
只敢在心里嘀嘀咕咕地想着……乔白的那些成就？
呵！ 怎么可能！
区区一个高中生……不是骗人的就是NY市为了造神强行施加在他身上的！ 该说的叶琳婕都说了。
年轻气盛的小鬼头鬼迷心窍，妒火烧心就是不肯相信她也没办法。
随小鬼去吧。
多撞撞硬茬子自己就开窍了。
不开窍就头破血流。
社会会在适当的时候，给予每一个不肯低头的人公平的一顿毒打。
……
一行人没有急着今天就出发，而是就地在酒店休息了一天。
大家都是从其他地方赶过来的，需要调整状态。
下午的时候，乔白将自己的两只宠兽都放了出来。
其他几个御兽师也都将自己的小型宠兽放了出来。
和常见的小灵猫、火蚂蚁、毛绒蒲、小狮子兽这些常见的华南地区宠兽繁衍基地出品的超凡生物比起来。
乔白的小乌和猫猫虫第一时间收到了最多的关注。
“这是……华鸟吗？”叶琳婕抛弃了一直玩耍的大胸肌，凑到了小乌的身边，和小乌保持了一个相对安全的距离。
保证不会让小乌感到不适，也能最好地观察小乌。
乔白第N+1次非常耐心地回答了这个问题：“恩，本身的品种是华鸟。”
小乌站在乔白的腿上，歪了歪头看向叶琳婕，脑袋上的呆毛随风一起抖动了两下。
在大量一圈屋子里的这么多人和宠兽，小乌的气势有点压制不住了。
小乌：└(￣^￣)┐
必须让在场的这些宠兽们知道，谁才是这里真正的大姐大！ 然后……趁着乔白还没有反应过来。
小乌就以一种饿虎下山的姿态猛地朝着其他的宠兽们扑了过去！
平头哥沙乙的小灵猫和雀斑青年陈奕的毛绒蒲就成为了小乌的头号祸害对象。
小灵猫：“喵喵喵！”
猫猫做错了什么！ 为什么无缘无故地要打猫！ QAQ！
毛绒蒲：“啾！啾啾！”
救命呀！
死啦死啦！
小乌：（>v·*) 打的就是你们！
不要以为鸟没有听到！ 欺负鸟的御兽师？ 坏！ 坏！ 鸟要进行正义的制裁！ 因为自家御兽师做的事情被无辜牵连的小灵猫和毛绒蒲：泪牛满面.jpg 小灵猫和毛绒蒲的实力一个是五阶低阶一个是四阶中级，本身实力就和小乌差了一点，更别说小乌还觉醒了部分血脉，越级的情况下都能打一打，更别说两个实力不如它的小东西。
小乌：一翅膀一个！ 今年鸟就是NO.1！
刚准备扑出去和自家大姐头共同战斗的猫猫虫也被震惊到了原地。
猫猫虫：QwQ 大姐头实在是太厉害了。
根本没有龙可以发挥的地方！
一旁的平头哥沙乙和雀斑小青年也被小乌展现出来的实力给狠狠地震惊住了。
“等等？！”
“这只鸟是什么等级啊！”
“小灵猫，反击回去！”
“你可是猫，天生就应该会抓鸟的啊！”
沙乙大声地给小灵猫加油鼓气，眼神中透露出了满满的难以置信的情绪。
A cat, a second-level beastmaster, a fifth-level low-level pet civet, can't beat a bird of a formal beastmaster (?)? Are you sure this is not a joke? "Are you sure you don't want to give orders? Otherwise, your little bird might suffer later." Ye Linjie looked at Sha Yi, who was about to join the battle between the civet and the bird, and smiled at Qiao Bai.
Qiao Bai shook his head.
"Xiao Wu is just playing around now, there is no real hostility."
But if the other side takes action...well, Qiao Bai will light a candle for this little civet cat in advance.
As expected.
Sha Yi couldn't help it.
You can’t say bad things about Qiao Bai, and you can’t hit Qiao Bai’s pet?
His flat-headed brother is a second-level beastmaster! Xiao Wu sensed Sha Yi's intention.
But Xiao Wu was not afraid at all, and was even a little excited.
Don't you want to come up and help? Come on, come on!
Now you have a chance! That furry thing is yours!
In this home.
Only birds can be furry! Little Wu had long been annoyed by the white, furry hair of the plush catkin.
But compared with the little civet cat, it is more important to beat the little civet cat first.
Xiao Wu was very considerate and gave the task of beating up Maorongpu to Maomaochong.
CatCatCat: *\(^o^)/* Great! Go for it!
Long is the most awesome one! Mao Rong Pu, who was kicked out of the battle by Xiao Wu: "?"
My head is dizzy.
Before he could react to what was happening, he was overwhelmed by a heavyweight player.
Plush Poo: “!”
“Chiu!”
“Chirp!”
Jiumin Jiumin!
Huh... I can't breathe! When facing the plush cat, the cat bug fully exerted the subjective initiative of a cat and turned the plush cat into a ball of wool. The plush cat was already dizzy under the play of the cat bug's seven legs.
I want to resist...but I failed! This guy can use poison! This poison is not something that a poisonous cattail can easily resist.
After three or two times.
Plush Pooh completely lost its ability to fight, and lay flat to become the new toy of Catworm.
"Oh my fur ball!" Seeing this, the freckled young man Chen Yi made a miserable cry on behalf of Maorongpu.
On the other side, Sha Yi's face showed an expression of disappointment.
The pet of a second-level beastmaster couldn't beat the pet of a formal beastmaster? In the end, it all depends on him.
Being provoked to the face by a pet of a formal beastmaster, it is understandable that he would have a bit of temper and want to fight back! Flathead Sha Yi was very stubborn and chose Xiaowu as his target of attack.
"Little civet, pounce!"
The battle begins…the battle is over.
The little civet had just pounced towards Little Crow when it was confronted with Little Crow's passive skill that was activated - Eye of the King!
A true hero kills with his eyes (crossed out)
“Meow!”
The fiery dance of fire wrapped the little civet cat, and the little civet cat let out a miserable cry.
Although the little civet cat has learned fire-attribute skills, it does not mean that the little civet cat with fire attributes cannot resist the damage caused by fire-attribute skills.
This wave of backlash caused the little civet cat to fall down first.
In an instant, the room fell silent.
The two hired logistics personnel, Mo Xuexiang and Ye Linjie all looked in the direction of Xiao Wu and Xiao Lingmao.
"Little civet?!" Things were moving too fast.
It was completely different from what Sha Yi had imagined! He had prepared a plan in advance on how to explain the situation after injuring the bird, but he didn't expect that the first to fall was his own little civet.
Sha Yi: “???”
What happened? Who is he? Where is he?
"You...!" Sha Yi quickly picked up the little civet cat and turned around to ask Qiao Bai for an explanation.
The next second——
A surge of momentum swept through the entire room!
If everyone else was just brushed by this powerful aura, then Sha Yi was the only one among all the people and pets present who faced this powerful aura head-on! Sha Yi's mind went blank for a moment.
All that could be seen in the sight was a little bird with its wings spread out, revealing the dazzling golden-red color beneath its feathers and its sharp eyes.
Those golden-red eyes were filled with a look of condescension and disdain that showed Sha Yi was not taken seriously at all.
It’s like saying: That’s it?
That's it?! Sha Yi: "..."
Sha Yi's heart started beating uncontrollably!
It was beating faster and faster... as if it would jump out of his chest in the next second... The honey badger couldn't keep his head straight anymore, he was so panicked that he could hardly breathe.
"Xiao Wu, that's enough." At this time, Qiao Bai walked behind Xiao Wu.
In a hen-like hugging posture, she picked up the little bird that was threatening Sha Yi with its wings spread out aggressively.
Fold your wings.
Hold in your arms.
Xiao Wu: “?”
The hostile aura that had appeared just now quickly subsided.
Xiao Wu tilted his head.
(￢_￢) Okay, okay.
Who made the bird like the beastmaster? The little bird stretched out its wings and patted Qiao Bai's arm twice.
The powerful aura that had been hovering in the room also dissipated completely.
Qiao Bai took two steps forward and picked up the cat and cat that was still playing with the plush cat.
"That's enough. If we keep playing with Maorongpu, it really won't work." As he said that, Qiao Bai lowered his head to glance at Maorongpu... Well, he felt guilty, a little bit.
Just a few hundred million.
I don’t know if it’s because of the poisoning or because of the cat bug’s play with it, but the originally pure white fur of the cat has turned gray, and there are also a few strands of black and purple in the fur.
Qiao Bai turned his head.
A battle...it can barely be called a battle. Isn't it normal that some small accidents might occur during the battle?
Thinking of this, Qiao Bai quickly picked up his two restless little guys and left the battlefield.
The two hired logistics personnel breathed a sigh of relief, and the freckled young man next to them also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then……
There was a "bang" sound from the suite.
It was the sound of Saeil's legs knocking against the floor uncontrollably as he completely relaxed.
Chen Yi: “…”
Chen Yi looked around but didn't see anyone willing to lend a hand. Out of friendship, he had to step forward and prepare to help Sha Yi up. But something happened that made him regret it - Sha Yi made a "yue" sound and vomited uncontrollably on Chen Yi who was just about to lend a hand to help him.
The brotherhood ends today! Anyway, after all this.
Sha Yi didn't dare to provoke Qiao Bai.
With the help of Teacher Mo, the burns on the little civet were quickly healed.
The little civet turned back into a lively little civet.
On the contrary, it was a little troublesome to remove the poison from Maorongpu's body. Fortunately, Mo Xuexiang, the logistics support, was very reliable. She helped Maorongpu completely remove the poison in a short while.
Qiao Bai also got a quiet environment because of this.
Whether it was because he realized that Qiao Bai was not the same as he had imagined, or because he had already embarrassed himself in front of Qiao Bai and did not want to embarrass himself further, Sha Yi did not dare to stay in front of Qiao Bai for more than three seconds that night.
The freckled young man Chen Yi even put away his previous contemptuous look towards Qiao Bai and became as quiet as he could be.
Noticing this scene, Qiao Bai shook his head helplessly.
“Being invincible is so lonely.” Qiao Bai said with emotion.
"Hmm?" Ye Linjie looked at Qiao Bai with a happy smile on her face. "Invincible? Do you want to fight me? I'm very interested in your pets, both of them."
The evolved Chinese bird has such extraordinary power.
What about the other one?
Ye Linjie couldn't help but become curious.
Don’t think that Cat, Cat and Bug didn’t seem to show any outstanding performance throughout the whole process.
That's compared to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu’s momentum at the end was really terrifying.
Even Ye Linjie, who was not the main target of Xiao Wu, felt the tingling sensation as if thin needles were pricking her skin.
This is not something that ordinary pets can do.
而猫猫虫，实力明明还没有突破四阶，不过是三阶中级而已，就能将一只四阶的毛绒蒲当作玩具？ 简直比小乌还要离谱！
“我开玩笑的。”乔白一本正经地说道，仿佛刚才的话根本不是出自他的嘴里。
叶琳婕轻哼了一声。
和五阶御兽师打？ 抱歉。
乔白是很猛。
但是还没有猛到这个程度。
其他人：“……”
这还不够猛？ 乔白已经非常猛了好吧！
小乌今天下午已经向众人展现出了它的实力。
大家也都知道，小乌的等级有五阶中级！ 然而。
一阶御兽师也才只要求拥有一只五阶宠兽和两只三阶宠兽。
乔白距离成为一阶御兽师……就差那么一点点了。
只要乔白冥想打开了第三宠的契约位，乔白就是一个板上钉钉的一阶御兽师了！ 问题是乔白的年龄这才多大啊？ 总之……就连原本看不惯乔白的陈奕，看向乔白的眼神中也带上了满满的赞叹。
等吃过晚饭，众人回到自己的房间。
因为套房数量有限，不够八个人一人一个，除了三个老师和乔白以外，其他四个人都是两人一间。
沙乙一走进房间就甩手，发出了重重的哼声，瞪了一眼陈奕：“你刚刚看那家伙的眼神几个意思？惊叹？你惊叹什么？”
一上来就是火气满满的质问。
“我只是觉得，他在宠兽培育上确实很厉害。”陈奕一点都没有被影响到，他在床上坐下来，认真地说道：“我们一开始嫌弃他，是觉得他抢了小溪的位置”
“明明没有什么实力，大概率是吹嘘出来的名头，却通过走后门的方式把小溪挤了出去。”
“如果小溪能和几位老师一起来的话，对小溪从实习研究员升级到五级研究员是一个很好的课外实践的经验。”
“但事实胜于雄辩，宠兽培育和宠兽进化或许不一样，但他能在高中阶段就把宠兽培育到五阶……真的很了不起了。”
沙乙的眉头深深地皱了起来：“你再说什么呢！说好的我们一起抵抗那个家伙呢？你就这么倒戈了？一点立场都没有！”
“那些成就不是他的，宠兽培育也不一定是他干的啊！说不定是家里有钱？联盟扶持？可能性多得很！”
陈奕耸了耸肩膀，转身开始换睡衣准备洗洗睡了。
“反正你就是看他不顺眼，你打从心里已经给他戴上了有色眼镜，我怎么和你说也说不通的，那就别说了。”
说完陈奕转身就走进了洗浴室，看都不看沙乙一眼。
沙乙：“……”
这冷冰冰的世界！ 他……就是觉得乔白德不配位！ 实力强又怎么了？ 和研究宠兽进化有一点关系吗？
最强御兽师不代表就是最强宠兽进化教授，再说了，乔白还不是最强御兽师呢。
沙乙默默地在心里发誓：不行！他一定要抓住机会，在众人面前揭穿乔白的“不学无术！”
让大家都知道，乔白在宠兽研究方面没有任何的真才实学！ 刚刚下定决心的沙乙，脑海里就下意识地浮现出了小乌那双充满威严的金红色眼睛，沙乙浑身一颤……什么想法都不敢有了！
沙乙：睡觉睡觉！今晚脑子还有点不太清醒！等明天彻底醒过来就好了！ 总之这件事情没有这么容易结束！
……
第二天。
乔白早早地就醒了过来。
带着小乌和猫猫虫进行了半个小时左右的冥想，等睁开眼睛的时候大脑都有一种很轻松，彻底清醒过来的感觉。
用冥想来激活早上刚醒的大脑，效果比冷水还要好。
“小乌，早。”乔白左手揉了揉小乌的脑袋，在小乌的脑门上留下一个早安吻。
转身又揉了揉猫猫虫，在猫猫虫的脑门正中心也留下了一个早安吻：“猫猫虫早上好啊！”
“叽嗷！”
是龙！
是龙啦！ 猫猫虫新的一天从纠正乔白对它的称呼开始。
什么猫猫虫，明明是威武霸气的猫猫龙！
“叽叽！”
“叽叽叽！”
猫猫虫又扭头对着小乌叫唤起来。
大姐头昨天好帅气呀！
龙也要向大姐头学习！ 保护御兽师！ 龙昨天表现得还不够出色！ 小乌又拍了拍猫猫虫。
没关系。
慢慢来。
变强也是需要一个过程的嘛～ 你也不差啦～ 小乌和猫猫虫愉快地交流着，两个小家伙的心情都非常的愉快，唯独坐在正中间的乔白心情有那么一点点的复杂。
不是？
这还觉得实力不够强不太行还要再努力？ 那昨天被玩弄的毛绒蒲和小灵猫真的要哭出来了。
乔白张了张嘴，想说什么……最后还是选择了放弃。
算了算了。
和自家的宠兽挨打比起来，当然还是别人家的宠兽挨打更好。
乔白完美地和自家两只宠兽达成了共识。
简单的洗漱后，乔白带着小乌和猫猫虫下楼，在酒店吃完了早餐，这才重新回到套房，背上早就准备好的背包，一行人准备出发了。
有三位老师和他们的工作证在，这一次进入禁忌之地的流程容易了不少。
乔白他们只需要通过简单登记就可以了。
时隔小两个月，再一次地来到东洲市禁忌之地，乔白不由得发出了感慨的声音。
“和过年时看起来完全不一样，那些迎迎草全部都消失不见了。”
禁忌之地外围原本随处可见的迎迎草，现在已经一根都没有了。
“哼，连迎迎草都买不起……”沙乙小声地嘀咕着，但是又不敢说得太大声，只有站在他身边的陈奕听到了。
陈奕叹气。
不管了。
管不了。
“你还来采摘了迎迎草吗？”戚容有些惊讶地说道：“迎迎草又不是多么珍贵的草药，想要的话购买一点就行了，采摘起来太麻烦了。”
对此，叶琳婕和莫雪香也非常的赞同，都在一旁点头。
能用钱解决的问题，还是让他们省点时间吧！ 恩？ 闻言乔白像是想到了什么：“等等……东洲市御兽联盟或者是培育师协会没有出什么新消息吗？”
几人一愣。
新消息？ 什么新消息？
乔白想了想，看了看周围，确定除了他们一行人以外没有其他人了，这才说道：“我发现了一个和迎迎草有关的特殊情况，当时不确定，就把这件事情告诉了培育师协会的岑副会长。”
说着，乔白就把当时的情况简单地说了一遍。
岑远近那边到现在都还没有消息也不知道是怎么一回事，不过告诉戚容他们也没有太大的问题。
都是一个圈子里的人。
一个消息多卖几手做个人情也是能理解的吧？
更别说乔白还是这件事情的发现者。
嗯嗯嗯？ 一听，戚容和叶琳婕两个人的眼睛瞬间就亮了起来，包括一直保持一副酷哥模样的莫雪香也露出了感兴趣的表情。
“感情？居然能影响到草药的品质？”戚容不可思议地惊呼起来：“真的假的？”
从来没有听说过啊！
乔白双手一摊：“现在迎迎草已经没了，我也不清楚，说不定岑副会长那边已经有了结果？”
戚容：“没错！等回来我就要给那小子发消息！”
“加我一个。”叶琳婕也说道。
要这是真的话……藏着瞒着是想干嘛？
