Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 308 The Little Treasure-Hunting Mouse is Deployed!

Furthermore, the mountains in this area contain many mineral veins, including some containing black iron, refined copper, and refined gold.

Therefore, a considerable number of cultivators who entered the Crimson Dragon Small World before came here with the direct purpose of collecting spiritual herbs and flowers, or slaying demonic beasts and ferocious beasts to obtain rare materials from their bodies.

A considerable number of cultivators even come to collect rare spiritual materials to refine magical artifacts and treasures.

Gu Yuan went to the Black Gold Mountains with the intention of searching for a suitable piece of spirit iron and rare metal to refine his natal flying sword.

Having fought against the Three Corpse Demon and Wei Gu before, he had already realized the shortcomings of the Silver Dragon Sword.

Although this sword is of good quality, even quite good, this is only in the eyes of other cultivators.

However, for Gu Yuan, it is somewhat inadequate now; its power is somewhat lacking, and it cannot directly confront magical treasures.

After all, although the Silver Dragon Sword is a top-grade magic weapon, it only has sixty-three restrictions, which is far from the seventy-two earthly restrictions of a top-grade magic weapon.

Therefore, Gu Yuan has already planned to search for enough rare and precious metals to forge his own natal flying sword.

The three of them flew for several days and finally arrived at the Black Gold Mountains.

Upon seeing the Black Gold Mountain Range ahead, with its exposed rocks and mountainsides all in a dark and somber color, Gu Yuan and the other two were quite shocked.

Ahead lay a continuous mountain range, its dark bodies resembling blocks of black iron, radiating an unusual luster that evoked a unique sense of awe.

However, the vegetation in this mountain range grows lushly and is darker in color than in other places.

The name Black Gold Mountain Range comes from this.

Gu Yuan squinted at the mountain range in front of him for a moment, then rode his escape light and descended.

Next, he summoned the silver-backed centipede Ah Wu and the little treasure-hunting rat Ah Huang from his spirit beast bag.

At this time, the silver-backed centipede had undergone a significant change in size, becoming about two feet long and larger. Its carapace was silvery and shiny, with a metallic luster.

It was landing on the ground at that moment.

As for Ah Huang, the little smart mouse...

At this moment, Ah Huang seemed not much different from before. It was still the size of a fist, a fluffy white ball that looked quite cute, with a pair of bright and lively eyes the size of mung beans.

"Squeak..."

Ah Huang glanced at Gu Yuan a few times, then went to Gu Yuan's legs and feet, scratching at them with its little paws while squeaking.

The centipede remained calm and unhurried, its two antennae twitching as if sensing something.

"Alright, let's scout ahead. Let me know if we find anything."

Gu Yuan waved his hand, signaling the two children to scout ahead.

The reason for doing this is because of the two children's talent.

Ah Huang, the little treasure-hunting mouse, needs no introduction. He possesses a talent for treasure hunting and is extremely perceptive of all kinds of treasures.

Despite possessing the "small treasure-hunting skill," Gu Yuan is still no match for Ah Huang in reality.

The reason is that although Gu Yuan obtained Ah Huang's treasure-hunting talent, strictly speaking, only the little treasure-hunting mouse can bring out the greatest potential of the little treasure-hunting mouse's talent.

The reason why the Little Treasure Mouse is called the Little Treasure Mouse is not only because of its innate Little Treasure Hunting Skill, but also because its bloodline, sense of smell, touch, hearing, and other factors work together to achieve extraordinary results with the Little Treasure Hunting Skill.

While both are using the same small treasure-hunting technique, Gu Yuan might only be able to achieve 100% effectiveness, while Ah Huang can achieve 120% or even more.

As for the Silverback Centipede, Gu Yuan remembered its details very clearly. [Silverback Centipede (Golden)]

Introduction: A rare alien species of demon centipede in the world, not only has a strange poison that can kill Jindan monks, but also has an extremely strong physique that can penetrate the finest gold and rare iron. Due to its special talent, it can sense and control all kinds of Gengjin and Xinjin qi, and can also devour all kinds of fine gold and rare iron to strengthen itself.

To evolve into the Taiyin Golden Centipede, one needs to grow into a mature Silver-backed Centipede and consume 95000 Dao Yun Points!
Status: normal
Stage: Growth (1%)

……

The rare metals and spirit irons that Gu Yuan needed contained rich Geng and Xin metal energy.

The silver-backed centipede, Ah Wu, clearly possesses the talent to sense the Qi of Geng and Xin metals.

Therefore, Gu Yuan released Ah Wu because he planned to use it to help him search for gold and iron ore veins.

"This is... a treasure-hunting rat?!"

When the two women saw Gu Yuan summon two spirit pets, they were first stunned, then startled, and somewhat surprised.

The silver-backed centipede was one thing, they had heard of it before, but where did Gu Yuan's treasure-hunting rat come from?

Yan Xiaoling, in particular, was a disciple of the Heavenly Silkworm Goddess and was naturally quite skilled in Gu techniques. However, she was also familiar with the Treasure-Seeking Rat, a rare and well-known spirit beast.

Logically speaking, the treasure-hunting rat is not actually a mythical beast, but this kind of spirit beast has an extremely special talent for "treasure hunting".

As a result, these rare mythical beasts naturally became highly sought after.

It can be said that the Treasure-Seeking Rat may not be of a very high grade, but in terms of value, it is worth more than a magic weapon!
"Wait... this isn't a treasure-hunting rat. Real treasure-hunting rats have white fur, but their eyes are golden. This one has black eyes, which doesn't look like a treasure-hunting rat..."

Soon, Yan Xiaoling noticed something was wrong and realized that this was not a treasure-hunting rat.

Gu Yuan explained with a smile, "This is just a little treasure-hunting mouse, possessing some of the bloodline of a real treasure-hunting mouse."

The two women suddenly realized, but their hearts were still somewhat unsettled.

As far as they knew, Gu Yuan kept two spirit pets: the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silverback Centipede from earlier.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuan also kept a little treasure-hunting mouse.

Judging from Gu Yuan's words, although this little treasure-hunting mouse is not a real treasure-hunting mouse, it still possesses some of the bloodline of the treasure-hunting mouse. Correspondingly, it must have inherited some of the talent abilities of the treasure-hunting mouse, which is already enough to make people envious.

It's quite obvious what Gu Yuan intended to do by summoning him.

This added another layer of mystery to Gu Yuan in the eyes of the two women.

Gu Yuan is clearly hiding many secrets.

Following behind Ah Wu and Ah Huang, Gu Yuan and his two companions made a discovery along the way.

The two little ones soon stopped at the entrance of a canyon. Ah Wu flicked his tail and plunged headfirst into the soil and rocks.

Ah Huang squeaked, conveying some of the information it had sensed to Gu Yuan.

In fact, Gu Yuan didn't even need Ah Huang to remind him; he had already sensed the changes within the canyon.

Under the influence of his "Minor Treasure Hunting Technique," the spiritual light inside the canyon was intensely bright, mixed with some golden light.

These are clearly dense Geng metal energies, indicating that there must be a lot of gold and iron ore inside, and there may be some kind of metal vein underground.
