Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 308 - 307: Deploying the Little Treasure Hunting Mouse!

Chapter 308: Chapter 307: Deploying the Little Treasure Hunting Mouse!

And within these mountains, there are many mineral veins, including those of Profound Iron, Refined Copper, and Refined Gold.

So a considerable number of cultivators who entered the Red Dragon Small World had the straightforward goal of collecting Spirit Medicine and Spiritual Flowers here, or hunting Demon Beasts and Fierce Beasts to obtain the rare materials from their bodies.

In fact, a significant number of cultivators came to gather some rare spiritual materials for refining Magical Artifacts and Magical Treasures.

Gu Yuan went to the Black Gold Mountain Range intending to find a suitable piece of Spirit Iron and Exotic Gold to refine into his Lifebound Flying Sword.

After his previous encounters with the Three Corpse Elder and Wei Gu, he had sensed the shortcomings of the Silver Flood Dragon Sword.

Although this sword’s quality was not poor, and could even be considered quite good, that was only in comparison to other cultivators.

For Gu Yuan, it was somewhat insufficient in its power and couldn’t clash directly against Magical Treasures.

After all, though the Silver Flood Dragon Sword is a top-grade Magical Artifact, it only had sixty-three restrictions, and was far from the seventy-two Earth Demon Restrictions required for a top-grade Magical Artifact.

Thus, Gu Yuan planned to search for enough Exotic Gold and Spiritual Iron to refine a Lifebound Flying Sword of his own.

The group of three flew for several days before finally arriving at the Black Gold Mountain Range.

Seeing the Black Gold Mountains ahead, with their exposed rocks and bodies shrouded in a dark color, Gu Yuan and the others were quite shocked.

The mountain range ahead stretched endlessly, the dark mountain bodies resembled pieces of black iron, exuding an unusual luster that gave a special sense of awe.

However, the vegetation in this mountain range was thriving, with colors darker than other places.

That’s how the Black Gold Mountain Range got its name.

Gu Yuan squinted, gazing at the mountain for a moment before maneuvering the Escape Light to land.

Next, he summoned the Silver-backed Centipede, Ah Wu, and the Treasure Hunting Mouse, Ah Huang, from the Spirit Beast Bag.

At this time, the Silver-backed Centipede’s form had changed noticeably, growing more than two feet long, and appearing significantly larger, with its silver-bright back emitting a metallic sheen.

It was now situated on the ground.

As for Little Treasure Mouse Ah Huang...

Ah Huang did not seem to have changed much from before, still about a fist in size, a fluffy snow-white ball, looking rather adorable with a pair of lively, green-pea-sized eyes.

"Zhi zhi zhi..."

Ah Huang first glanced at Gu Yuan a few times, then approached his legs, pawing at them while squeaking.

Ah Wu remained calm, swaying its two antennae as if sensing something.

"Alright, scout ahead and let me know if you discover anything."

Gu Yuan waved his hand, letting the two little ones scout ahead.

He did this because of the talents of these two little creatures.

Little Treasure Mouse Ah Huang naturally needed no further mention, possessing a treasure hunting talent that made it extremely sensitive to all kinds of treasures.

While Gu Yuan also had the "Little Treasure Technique," in truth, he could not match Ah Huang.

The reason was that although Gu Yuan had inherited the treasure hunting talent from Ah Huang, strictly speaking, only Little Treasure Mouse could make the most of the Little Treasure Technique.

Little Treasure Mouse’s name comes from its talent for treasure hunting, coupled with its instinctive bloodline, sense of smell, touch, hearing, and other abilities, which together bring extraordinary effects to the Little Treasure Technique.

While Gu Yuan might only bring out the full effect of the Little Treasure Technique, Ah Huang could bring out twelve percent, or even more.

As for Silver-backed Centipede Ah Wu, Gu Yuan recalled its peculiar nature clearly.

[Silver-backed Centipede (Gold)]

Description: A rare Demon Centipede with lethal venom that can kill a Golden Core Great Cultivator. Its robust physique can penetrate Refined Gold and Strange Iron, and it has an innate ability to sense and control Geng Metal and Xin Metal Qi while consuming Refined Gold and Strange Iron to strengthen itself.

Evolving into a Lunar Gold Centipede requires maturation to a fully developed Silver-backed Centipede and the consumption of 95,000 Dao Rhyme Points!

Status: Normal

Phase: Growth Stage (1%)

...

The Exotic Gold and Spiritual Iron Gu Yuan needed contained rich Geng Metal and Xin Metal Qi.

Silver-backed Centipede Ah Wu clearly had the talent to perceive Geng Metal and Xin Metal Qi.

So he released Ah Wu with the intention of using it to find gold and iron veins.

"Is this... a Treasure Hunting Mouse?!"

The two women were startled and surprised upon seeing Gu Yuan summon two Spirit Pets.

The Silver-backed Centipede was no surprise, they had heard of it before, but where did Gu Yuan get this Treasure Hunting Mouse?

Especially Yan Xiaoling, who studied under Celestial Silkworm Lady and was naturally knowledgeable in Gu Technique, was familiar with such rare and famous Spirit Beasts as the Treasure Hunting Mouse.

Generally, the Treasure Hunting Mouse doesn’t belong to the category of Immortal Beasts or Divine Beasts, but its treasure hunting talent is exceptionally unique.

Hence, such rare Spirit Beasts are extremely coveted.

Despite the Treasure Hunting Mouse’s grade being not too high, its value is incomparable, worth even more than a Magical Treasure!

"Wait... this isn’t a Treasure Hunting Mouse. A true Treasure Hunting Mouse has white fur but gold-colored eyes; this one’s eyes are black, so it’s not a Treasure Hunting Mouse..."

Yan Xiaoling soon noticed the peculiarities, realizing it wasn’t a Treasure Hunting Mouse.

Gu Yuan explained with a smile: "This is just a Little Treasure Mouse, with partial bloodline of a genuine Treasure Hunting Mouse."

The two women understood, but couldn’t completely calm the unrest in their hearts.

They knew that Gu Yuan kept two Spirit Pets, aside from the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly, there was also the Silver-backed Centipede.

However, they hadn’t expected him to keep a Little Treasure Mouse as well.

According to Gu Yuan, although this was not a true Treasure Hunting Mouse, it carried part of the Treasure Hunting Mouse bloodline, and surely inherited some of its talents, which was enviable enough.

Thus, Gu Yuan’s intentions in summoning it were quite apparent.

This also added another veil of mystery in the eyes of the two women toward Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan certainly had many secrets yet to be revealed.

With Gu Yuan and his companions following Ah Wu and Ah Huang, they soon made a discovery.

The two quickly stopped at an entrance of a canyon, where Ah Wu swung its tail and plunged into the earth and stones.

Ah Huang squeaked, relaying some of the sensed information to Gu Yuan.

In fact, Gu Yuan didn’t even need Ah Huang’s reminder. He had already sensed the changes inside the canyon.

Through his "Little Treasure Technique," Gu Yuan detected the blinding brightness and interspersed golden light of Spiritual Light inside the canyon.

These were clearly dense Geng Metal Qi, signifying the presence of numerous gold and iron ores, and possibly a metal vein underground.
