The environment of the Iron Bamboo Breeding Base was different from that of the Icefield City Breeding Base, with only high mountain bamboo forests here.

In this world, Shi Yu always encountered many illogical things.

For example, three or four environments that would absolutely not be adjacent on Earth could be completely integrated here.

However, upon closer inspection, it could be found that all of this was due to the special powers of extraordinary creatures influencing the outside world.

The environment of this Iron Bamboo Breeding Base was relatively normal, at least more normal than the Icefield City Breeding Base.

The soil was fertile, the forests lush, the iron bamboo grew well, and the water source was abundant with clear springs, which was exactly the living environment that Iron-eating Beasts loved.

At this time, Shi Yu had already entered the breeding area with breeder Lin Xiuzhu.

Although there was only one cub left, they still had to take a look, right? They couldn't wait another year for a new batch of Iron-eating Beast cubs to grow up.

Life was not easy, Shi Yu sighed...

In the Iron Bamboo Breeding Base, there were not only Iron-eating Beast cubs, but also many adult Iron-eating Beasts, but Shi Yu had only booked a cub.

As a novice Beast Tamer like him, contracting a pet beast cub was the limit of his ability.

Although those adult Iron-eating Beasts could also be contracted, Shi Yu clearly couldn't handle them.

"Iron-eating Beasts... are indeed very homebound."

Along the way, Shi Yu saw many Iron-eating Beasts living alone nearby, all of whom were staying home and sleeping.

Some were sleeping in grass nests, some were sleeping hugging tree trunks, and some were sleeping in tree branches, all unexpectedly quiet.

"It's not their active season yet. At this time, larger Iron-eating Beasts are generally quieter, but smaller ones are more lively."

Lin Xiuzhu said as she walked ahead. Sure enough, under her guidance, Shi Yu soon saw an Iron-eating Beast that was obviously much smaller.

Its body length was less than one meter, its volume was not large, and its age was about one year old. It was in the stage of leaving its mother and living independently.

The Iron-eating Beast cubs that Beast Tamers booked were generally of this age, after all, Beast Tamers couldn't take care of cubs that were too young.

"Is this it?"

When Shi Yu saw this little Iron-eating Beast, he was immediately overjoyed, feeling that his three months of waiting had not been in vain.

This Iron-eating Beast cub had soft black and white fur, and its short tail wagged back and forth, which was very cute.

At this time, it also noticed Shi Yu and Lin Xiuzhu. On its round cheeks, the eyes in the big dark circles looked at them with bright and earnest expressions.

"Yes—" Lin Xiuzhu nodded.

"It looks very normal to me," Shi Yu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Iron-eating Beast cub immediately shifted its gaze away from the two of them, looking as if it didn't want to be disturbed. It directly launched a sprint in place, "bang" hitting a tree trunk, and then was bounced back, rolling several times on the ground before stopping.

Shi Yu added: "Okay, it doesn't look too smart."

Lin Xiuzhu also helplessly covered her forehead and said, "This Iron-eating Beast cub had some problems when it was born. Its birth was not smooth, and its physique is slightly weaker than other Iron-eating Beast cubs."

"The Iron-eating Beasts of the same period have all successfully awakened the Hardening ability before the age of one, but this one has not awakened until now."

Under normal circumstances, the earlier a pet beast of the same race awakens a racial skill, the better its aptitude and talent. The slower the awakening, the naturally worse the talent. Therefore, this Iron-eating Beast was the one that was left over.

"In short, due to individual differences, its personality has also begun to become different from other Iron-eating Beasts."

The personality and habits of Iron-eating Beasts are actually the same as those of giant pandas. Every day, except for half the time spent eating, the remaining half of the time is mostly spent in sleep.

In most cases, Iron-eating Beasts are very docile. When they see people, they often cover their faces with their forepaws or lower their heads, not revealing their true faces, and rarely actively attack other creatures.

Therefore, it is highly recommended for novice Beast Tamers to raise them.

However, this Iron-eating Beast had some different individual experiences. First, its development was slower than that of its peers. It couldn't do what it should, and then it was left over, and its personality changed drastically.

It became anxious.

So it began to change its habits and become exceptionally self-disciplined, taking the initiative to train in the hope of quickly awakening the Hardening ability and becoming stronger.

It was a rare Iron-eating Beast with dreams and not lazy, but unfortunately, its talent was a bit lacking.

After evolution, Iron-eating Beasts have relatively high intelligence compared to other pet beasts.

The tree collision just now was its way of exercising its physical strength.

"In other words, this Iron-eating Beast cub has particularly poor talent, but is very hardworking and very diligent, and is useless except for being motivated?"

Shi Yu summarized, and then smiled.

"...Although what you said is a bit exaggerated, is that about right?" Lin Xiuzhu said.

"But don't worry, it's just that its congenital development is poor. If it can be cultivated in the Beast Taming Space, it can be adjusted later."

Moreover, such a self-disciplined Iron-eating Beast is actually quite rare.

This kind of personality is generally a plus.

Of course... there are also disadvantages to this personality... Lin Xiuzhu muttered in her heart, that is, irregular work and rest lead to it eating too much.

After all, to train, the nutrition must keep up.

"Then I'll take it."

Although normal Iron-eating Beasts were good, Shi Yu didn't really want a docile pet beast that only knew how to eat and sleep, that was too lazy.

It was enough for him to be lazy.

Talent didn't matter, after all, he had a Skill Index.

As everyone knows, hard work + a cheat is the way to go.

"Have you decided?" Lin Xiuzhu looked at Shi Yu in confusion. Beast Tamers generally care about the talent of their pet beasts, right?

Otherwise, this Iron-eating Beast cub wouldn't have been left over.

"I appreciate this kind of diligent pet beast... I feel like it and I will get along very well."

Well, the automatic training skill configuration is already prepared.

"So, are there any discounts?" Shi Yu was still thinking about discounts.

Lin Xiuzhu was speechless, but she understood Shi Yu's situation since she had his information.

She said: "This Iron-eating Beast sleeps less, so it needs to supplement more food."

"There are no discounts in terms of price... we treat every Iron-eating Beast here equally, but if you choose it, we can give you an extra month's worth of iron bamboo."

The Iron Bamboo Breeding Base is not only an Iron-eating Beast breeding base, but also produces iron bamboo, one of the Iron-eating Beasts' favorite foods.

Iron bamboo is as hard as steel and is a mutated bamboo species. It is the most core food used to cultivate the Iron-eating Beasts' ability to master Hardening, and the price is not cheap, not to mention that Iron-eating Beasts eat a lot.

A month's worth of iron bamboo food is indeed a good freebie, after all, it is a necessity.

"Thank you," Shi Yu said.

Lin Xiuzhu nodded. Since Shi Yu had decided, she stepped forward and came to the little Iron-eating Beast who was a little dazed from the reaction force.

"Eleven, a Beast Tamer has finally chosen you, are you happy?" She squatted down and looked at the little Iron-eating Beast with a smile.

The Iron-eating Beasts here have their own number, as do the cubs. This special Iron-eating Beast cub is number eleven, so the breeders here basically call it Eleven.

The little Iron-eating Beast silently sat up and looked at Shi Yu in the distance, blinking its eyes.

Although it was very happy that a Beast Tamer recognized it, it was... too late!

It sat on the ground, raised its arms, and roared.

Iron-eating Beasts, never slaves!

It can also grow and become stronger on its own!

After saying that, it got up and tried to run away, intending to escape from here in front of the breeding base staff.

Iron-eating Beasts, fearless!

Beast Tamers, I don't need you!

Then, before it could start running, it was grabbed by the neck by Lin Xiuzhu and lifted up.

Shi Yu, who had mental perception: "..."

Not bad, very energetic.

On the other side, Lin Xiuzhu sighed and pressed the troublesome Iron-eating Beast to the ground.

Although she was just a girl, she was surprisingly strong.

She must be a Beast Tamer. After contracting a pet beast, the pet beast's power will also feed back to the Beast Tamer, allowing the Beast Tamer's mental power and physical fitness to improve.

Although it is impossible to PK extraordinary creatures barehanded, it is no problem to kill Earth's fighting experts and athletes in seconds.

"Listen, after becoming a Beast Tamer's pet beast, your growth speed will be several times faster than it is now, and the Hardening ability that you couldn't awaken before can also be awakened quickly."

"Not only that, but there is also a more comfortable resting environment and a richer variety of food, which is much happier than staying here."

Lin Xiuzhu earnestly explained to the Iron-eating Beast cub, suspected of having a mental perception talent, or maybe she had been playing an Iron-eating Beast for too long, and the Iron-eating Beast could understand her words.

After she finished speaking, the Iron-eating Beast cub was stunned.

It looked at Shi Yu with a blank expression.

Shi Yu said after a moment of silence: "All inclusive."

Only when I still have money, Shi Yu added in his heart.

The Iron-eating Beast cub roared again, with an even more blank and tangled expression.

Saliva involuntarily dripped from the corner of its mouth.

In the end, the temptation of the benefits that Beast Tamers could bring outweighed the spiritual will, and the Iron-eating Beast cub reluctantly nodded.

I can't resist...

Iron-eating Beasts, never slaves, fearless, unless, all inclusive.
