Chapter 33 Qiao Gubai’s Guilt, the Mutated Candlefire Spider Spirit’s Beast Egg!
After so ti, Bai Zian finally found a spirit stone the size of a longan* in the abdon of the mutated Candlefire Spider leader.
[*Dimocarpus longan, commonly known as the longan and dragon’s eye, is a tropical tree species that produces edible fruit. It is one of the better-known tropical mbers of the soapberry family Sapindaceae, to which the lychee and rambutan also belong. ]
This was a special stone, resembling jade, radiating a soft glow, giving it a mystical appearance.
It was the Awakening Origin Stone.
Seeing this, Bai Zian was overjoyed. After admiring it for a while, he carefully stored it away.
“Zian, are you alright? Are you hurt?”
At this mont, Qiao Gubai, who had been watching from a distance, finally approached Bai Zian after confirming that the danger had passed.
Truth be told, Qiao Gubai was deeply shocked.
The power of the mutated Candlefire Spider leader was evident to all.
Even a typical bronze-level beast would likely not be a match for it.
But this terrifying entity was actually eliminated by Bai Zian.
It was astonishing.
One must rember that Bai Zian was still just a trainee Beast Tar, not even at the black iron level yet.
However, his strength far exceeded his rank, crossing even the black iron boundary.
With re apprentice-level power, he had slain a bronze-level mutated Candlefire Spider leader.
If such an event occurred outside, no one would believe it.
It was simply too shocking to comprehend.
Even outside this scenario, Bai Zian was a genius among geniuses, one of the most brilliant Beast Tars.
Thus, it was natural for Qiao Gubai to be deeply shaken.
However, after the shock subsided, Qiao Gubai felt imnsely guilty.
“I’m sorry, it’s all because of and the bad luck I bring, that you faced such danger.”
Qiao Gubai suddenly bowed to Bai Zian, apologizing.
Bai Zian was montarily stunned, not understanding why Qiao Gubai was suddenly apologizing.
But after a brief thought, Bai Zian understood.
Her unique S-class talent, [Luck Convergence], absorbed the luck of those around her, bringing bad luck to others.
As a result, people around her often suffered from misfortune.
For this reason, Qiao Gubai believed that the encounter with the mutated Candlefire Spider leader was her fault.
Bai Zian almost wanted to laugh.
He knew her talent well. While powerful, it didn’t have that much influence.
In fact, the sequence of events was likely reversed.
It wasn’t because of Qiao Gubai that the mutated Candlefire Spider leader appeared in Candlefire Mountain, leading them to et it.
Rather, the Candlefire Spider leader had already been birthed from changes in Candlefire Mountain.
It was Qiao Gubai’s talent that caused them to cross paths with it.
In other words, the cause-and-effect sequence of events was sowhat different.
Moreover, Bai Zian was quite pleased with this turn of events.
Had it not been for the mutated Candlefire Spider leader, he wouldn’t have had such a great reward.
Setting aside other gains, the Awakening Origin Stone alone made this trip worthwhile for Bai Zian.
For this, Bai Zian was sowhat grateful to Qiao Gubai.
After all, when it cos to Beast Tar talents, there is no such thing as good or bad.
As long as a talent was used properly, even a seemingly useless one could prove valuable.
Take Qiao Gubai’s talent, for example.
For ordinary people, it could indeed be a major inconvenience.
But if Qiao Gubai stayed by Bai Zian’s side, it would only bring him benefits.
For instance, if Bai Zian wanted to find strong enemies, he could simply rely on Qiao Gubai’s unique luck, drawing various foes to him.
Bai Zian even thought of other uses for her talent.
For example, he could have Qiao Gubai accompany the Bai family’s hunting party to the wilderness.
Just by being near Qiao Gubai, they would continually attract spirit beasts, allowing them to hunt various kinds of spirit creatures.
In this way, the Bai family could obtain a wealth of beast resources.
Thus, Qiao Gubai’s talent wouldn’t be a curse, but rather a blessing.
This was Bai Zian’s line of thinking.
“No worries, a re Candlefire Spider leader isn’t enough to harm .”
“Co on, I’ll take you to see the spider lair’s treasures; there should be so good stuff in there.” Bai Zian chuckled and said to Qiao Gubai.
Though he had already looted the mutated Candlefire Spider leader, the benefits of this place were far from exhausted.
After all, the lair of a mutated Candlefire Spider leader would surely have gathered a trove of valuable items.
The resources they collected over ti, as well as so Candlefire Spider beast eggs, were bound to be excellent gains.
With this in mind, Bai Zian led Qiao Gubai deeper into the spider lair.
“If you find sothing you need, feel free to take a few.”
After selecting a few items, Bai Zian spoke to Qiao Gubai.
To be honest, he wasn’t interested in lower-level items.
After all, the evolutionary goal of his White-scaled Fish was incredibly ambitious — the legendary Kunpeng.
Thus, the materials needed for its evolution were also of an extraordinary level.
For this reason, Bai Zian only picked out a few high-quality items.
As for the rest, he didn’t mind giving them away as a gesture of goodwill.
After all, he planned to recruit Qiao Gubai.
Offering small benefits now would likely work in his favor.
“This isn’t right, I didn’t help you at all, so I can’t take these things.”
Qiao Gubai bit her lip and hesitated.
While Bai Zian might not care for these items, to her, they were precious resources.
She had never seen so many valuable items before and was quite excited.
However, Qiao Gubai was very clear-headed.
These items weren’t hers to take.
After all, during the attack on the spider lair, she hadn’t helped at all and had only watched from afar.
Now that Bai Zian had defeated the lair, she felt it would be wrong to take advantage of the spoils.
She couldn’t bring herself to do such a thing.
“Your integrity is comndable, but you shouldn’t be so rigid in your thinking.”
“You guided for two days; this is my way of repaying you.” Bai Zian chuckled.
Qiao Gubai hesitated.
After Bai Zian’s repeated persuasion, she finally gave in and picked out a few items she needed.
“Hmm? The mutated Candlefire Spider leader actually left behind sothing like this?”
Suddenly, Bai Zian’s eyes lit up as he seed to discover sothing.
He reached into the depths of the spider lair and pulled out three red-colored beast eggs.
At the sa ti, under the influence of his [Eye of Revelation], information about the beast eggs appeared before him.
