The stars twinkle, the galaxy shines brightly.

Chen Yuan and his companions found a suitable leeward slope for camping, lit the campfire, and the crackling flames burned brightly as everyone quietly ate dinner.

The wilderness is not like home, conditions are limited, everything must be kept simple, and currently, there’s no invention of a limitless capacity backpack, so everyone can only carry portable food.

Fortunately, the Red Flame Ox helped carry some supplies, so everyone’s dinner was barely adequate, at least not like the instant noodle captain who had to live on instant noodles for every meal.

As Chen Yuan ate his dinner, Spark was beside him eating pet beast food, and the Twin Flower Concubine, who had been sleeping soundly all day, poked its little head out of the pocket. In its night form, it took the food Chen Yuan handed over and nibbled it gently.

"Awoooo~"

Cola wasn’t eating; it was staying not far away, repeatedly stirring up fierce winds and attempting again and again to envelop its entire body with wind energy, trying to fly into the sky like the leader.

Unfortunately, every attempt ended in failure.

However, efforts eventually bring progress, and with full force exerting wind energy, Cola could manage to lift off the ground by a foot.

One foot, of course, can hardly be considered flight; it barely counts as hovering, but this small progress thrilled Cola immensely; even if it repeatedly crashed to the ground, it enjoyed the attempts.

Fly!

It must learn to fly!

As Cola’s Beastmaster, Chen Yuan naturally kept a close eye on its every move, while also pondering: "What factors prevent Cola from flying?"

Is the wind energy inside insufficient?

No, no, that’s not it; the Cloud Wind Leopard mentioned by Liu Jinglan is only Tier Two in strength, far inferior to Cola, with wind energy far behind.

Could it be the physical features?

No, that’s not it either; although they are different species, both creatures have similar physical features and share the same attribute, with no significant disparities.

Liu Jingyi was also racking her brains; she thought of the appearance of the Cloud Wind Leopard and observed Cola for most of the day, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she raised her hand excitedly: "Chen Yuan, I’ve figured it out!"

Liu Jinglan turned his head to glare at her: "Can’t you see your brother Chen Yuan is thinking seriously?"

Chen Yuan waved his hand and smiled slightly: "It’s okay, what are your thoughts?"

Liu Jingyi ignored her own brother and revealed her thoughts while looking at Chen Yuan: "I just discovered the difference between the Cloud Wind Leopard and Cola."

"Oh? What is it?" Chen Yuan asked.

Liu Jingyi pointed at Cola, a confident smile spreading across her face: "Cola’s size is larger and heavier than the Cloud Wind Leopard."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jinglan slapped his thigh and laughed heartily: "How could it be such a simple reason."

While laughing, he pointed at a rock on the ground: "If that’s true, I’ll swallow this rock whole."

Chen Yuan held his chin with one hand, his eyes flickering: "Hmm..."

The Cloud Wind Leopard isn’t especially large, comparable to the elite quality Gale Hunting Dog.

But after advancing, Cola’s size grew the most and quickly gained weight.

Could this be a factor affecting flight?

"It’s possible." Chen Yuan quickly assessed.

The heavier the weight, the more wind energy is needed.

In other words, to lift its current body into the sky, Cola needs more wind energy and greater strength.

"And there’s another possibility."

Liu Jingyi’s ideas, like a floodgate opening, refreshed his thoughts, sparking another possibility: "Cola lacks precise control over wind energy."

Certainly, Cola’s skill proficiency is high, but it often relies on overwhelming force, condensing Wind Blades en masse, then unleashing them with little attention to detail.

As long as it can defeat opponents, why bother with details?

But enveloping its body with wind energy is different; it requires perfect control of each point of energy on all parts of its body without missing anything, achieving complete mastery. This can increase the success rate of flying.

"Let’s start with these two aspects." Chen Yuan quickly decided.

Liu Jingyi, hands on hips, looked at Liu Jinglan, her face full of smiles: "Brother, time to eat the stone."

"..." Liu Jinglan remained silent for a while, then stubbornly shook his head, "It’s still not certain that size is the cause, why should I eat it?"

"You’re cheating!"

"Provide evidence!"

"I’ll go home and tell Mom and Dad, saying you’re bullying me!"

"Useless; I’m the head of the household now."

...

The two siblings bickered as they unknowingly finished dinner. As the temperature dropped lower, everyone added clothing, gathered around the campfire to chat and discuss.

Liu Jinglan beckoned the Red Flame Ox, which slowly approached, folding its limbs and lying on the ground. Its ruby fur was enhanced by the bright flames, appearing even more vivid.

"Comfortable."

Liu Jinglan leaned against the Red Flame Ox, the back of his head enveloped by fluffy fur, warm and cozy.

"Le-le-le~"

Liu Jingyi was playing with the Fiery Flame Eagle, holding fragrant and delicious pet beast snacks, moving them up and down, while the Fiery Flame Eagle chased them, flapping its wings.

The Water Spirit Turtle opened its mouth to release a thin stream of water, which Chang Yuhuan used to wet a towel, cleaning the dusty shell of the Water Spirit Turtle.

Extractive and usable, water-type pet beasts indeed greatly outperform those with other attributes in certain environments.

"Awoo..."

Cola lay on the ground, its blue eyes reflecting the starry galaxy, yet showing signs of contemplation.

Chen Yuan patted Cola’s fluffy head and laughed: "Since the answer doesn’t come to mind now, don’t think about it too much, save yourself the trouble and worry."

"Once we return to the farm, practice the way I mentioned."

"Don’t waste energy these two days, maintain your state to deal with any dangers."

"Awoo..."

Upon hearing his master’s words, Cola nodded unhappily, but soon saw Chen Yuan mouth two words—Cola.
