"The weak master, strong beast!"
Li Ye thought of how he couldn’t yet achieve Foundation Establishnt, feeling conflicted.
Suddenly, "anger arose from his heart, with evil intentions born beside his courage."
He directly grabbed the smug beaver and squeezed it, the latter initially enjoying it, but soon pleaded with its paws, "chirping" for rcy.
To be honest, squeezing the thought of Foundation Establishnt in his heart was truly satisfying; he quickly accepted this situation, rely observing the golden sheet crafted by the beaver.
Without a doubt, this was already a Magical Artifact.
Born from the purifying Buddha’s Light of the Vengeful Spirits ascending, it was considered an extrely superior power in the text of "Heart Lotus Suffering Relief thod."
If a mortal carried such an object, they might never encounter any demons or monsters in their lifeti—of course, only low-tier ones.
"You said you learned this from the Heart Lotus Suffering Relief thod?"
"Chirp chirp." The beaver nodded, then pointed with its paw at the Buddha’s Crown Gold, making a bonding gesture, indicating that this tal could carry Buddha’s Light.
"Quite impressive, well done."
"I’ll reward you with so lotus seeds to eat." He directly handed the icy sugar lotus seeds he was planning to eat to the beaver.
Five beavers imdiately ran over, and grabbed the lotus seeds one by one to stash them in their fur.
Then, they ran over to the fish pond beside, sat neatly by the pool, holding the lotus seeds in their paws, eating—while the fish swam around yet dared not make a move.
This is the Third Tier Spirit Beast!
When they were both at the Second Tier, they could bully the beaver with their size, but now they’ve reached the Third Tier, naturally there’s no way to do that anymore.
"Sigh."
Li Ye withdrew his gaze. If he were to sell this, and soone asked which high monk consecrated it, how should he respond?
However...
He stood up and followed the Golden Horned Ants who were ready to return to the mine, planning to see what exactly had happened over there.
How did they manage to bring out Buddha’s Crown Gold? Was there so change inside the mine?
When he crossed the Space chanism Gate with the ant group, the inside scenery made him montarily silent.
The walls, initially should have been filled with nurous low-tier ore, were now densely grown with clusters of golden "coral," emitting compassionate light under the mine’s illumination.
"Is this all Buddha’s Crown Gold?"
"...This isn’t right."
Li Ye didn’t act rashly; he first found the anthill placed at the entrance, directly pried open a small hole, and saw the plump Ant Queen inside.
"Is there anything here that you fear?" he inquired.
Though the Ant Queen was a Second Tier Spiritual Insect, it was nourished with his Vital Essence and Spiritual Power, and the transmitted ssage was intermittent.
But it was still understandable—a huge thing lies beneath.
Beneath?
"Where is it, have your Golden Horned Ants lead over."
The plump Ant Queen gently nodded its head, imdiately a squad of Golden Horned Ants erged, starting to crawl away from Li Ye.
Since Senior Brother Shu had warned not to go deeper, Li Ye was always asuring the distance; if it exceeded a hundred ters, he wouldn’t explore further.
Fortunately, the distance did not exceed a hundred ters.
They had barely covered thirty ters, just taking a few extra turns, when the Golden Horned Ants stopped in front of a fissure where a Spirit Vein Willow branch extended.
The fissure was about the size of a fist.
Li Ye crouched and peered down the earth cave; through the cracks in the rock, he could barely see the scenery below.
That scenery made him inhale sharply.
"Hiss!"
In the cave below was a splendid coral grove, with a huge, like millennium-old wood, earth-colored worm residing there, continuously consuming Buddha’s Crown Gold and minerals.
Even the Spirit Vein Willow’s branches were pressed beneath it, but the Spirit Vein Willow seed willing to give its Spiritual Power to it, without any hint of pain.
[Na]: Earthquake Worm
[Mood]: Painful, agitated
[State]: On the brink of splitting, facing death, birthing offspring.
By the ti Li Ye had arrived, he’d already hung the pine cone Magical Artifact around his waist, concealing his presence, so this Earthquake Worm would not discover him.
He watched the imnse worm and noticed its skin was being torn apart.
All the tallic minerals flowed inside it, occasionally forming sharp spikes that tore its skin.
Thin strands of sli slowly flowed down the Earthquake Worm’s body.
Inside were tiny Earthquake Worms!
Compared to their mother, these Earthquake Worms were pitifully small, probably no thicker than an infant’s arm.
Upon birth, they began digging the surrounding rock walls to escape.
Those unable to flee in ti were crushed in the Earthquake Worm’s agonizing rolls, rging with the surrounding tal—and he wondered if it was an illusion, feeling like the tal seed increased.
"..."
Li Ye took a deep breath.
The slightly cold air in the mine made him exceptionally calm.
"Help ."
"I want to capture an Earthquake Worm’s larva."
He gently touched the Spirit Vein Willow branches extending downward.
Even Senior Brother Shu had a serious expression when ntioning the Earthquake Worm, surely indicating it’s an extrely precious Spirit Beast, with the Spirit Vein Willow’s assistance, he could surely lure one through the Earth Surge Technique.
When it’s ti to take risks, one must take risks.
Especially when tily advantages are present.
Otherwise, if those Earthquake Worm larvae all leave, it would be a sheer waste!
The Spirit Vein Willow’s branches gently shook, embracing his Divine Sense and infused Spiritual Power, the downward branches started influencing the rock walls around the Earthquake Worm.
Since the Spirit Vein Willow had stayed here long, it had already gained the Earthquake Worm’s trust, thus the latter showed no sign of resistance.
Moreover, with Li Ye’s exquisite control, an Earthquake Worm larva was quickly guided to wiggle its way over.
As the Earthquake Worm larva got closer, Li Ye felt sowhat restless and uneasy within.
The sachet at his chest began to slightly heat up, as the Love Life and Death Beans transford into a Cyan Bird perched on his shoulder.
The cool bird beak touched Li Ye’s earlobe.
"Chirp chirp."
"I know." Li Ye stroked its feathers, "Do not worry."
Clearly, so changes were about to occur.
And certainly not good ones.
That feeling prompted him to speed up the infusion of Spiritual Power, and when the Earthquake Worm larva finally reached the cave, he reached out and grabbed it.
The slimy Earthquake Worm larva felt delightful in his hands, and without another word, he used the Wind-controlling Technique to carry the Golden Horned Ants and Spirit Vein Willow, fleeing imdiately.
Years of consuming various Spiritual Materials fortified his body, combined with Mana support, allowed him to leave the Space chanism Gate with the ant nest and Spirit Vein Willow in re monts.
At the mont of exiting the gate, he heard a piercing sound.
The sound was extrely sharp.
It slightly disturbed his Divine Sense, causing a prickling pain.
Even standing in the bright sunlight, he felt so unease.
"Enough."
He straightforwardly reached out to temporarily close the portal, but at the mont of closing, a hideous claw stretched out from inside.
"Crunch!"
The closing portal was like a sharp guillotine, directly chopping off the claw, which fell to the ground with a dull thud.
Li Ye’s expression remained calm.
He looked down at the claw and saw tallic stains on its surface, while the reddish-brown liquid that oozed out quickly solidified on the ground, releasing a scent of... rust.
