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

Chapter 309 The Iron Beast!
As for Ah Wu, because he enjoys devouring all kinds of refined metals and spirit irons, he has already taken the lead in burrowing into the ground and has begun to devour the metals and spirit irons underground.

The three entered the canyon.

Gu Yuan glanced around and began to examine the canyon in front of him.

The canyon was covered with low shrubs and weeds, lush and verdant.

However, as soon as they arrived in the canyon, before Gu Yuan could say anything, Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling immediately sensed that something was wrong.

I felt a slight chill on the surface of my skin, and a stinging pain, like being pricked with needles. The deeper I went, the stronger the stinging sensation became.

Upon entering the valley, not only did their skin begin to sting, but the two women even felt a stinging sensation in their very souls.

This forced the two women to circulate their inner energy and even use their supernatural powers to resist these intangible and insubstantial strange sensations.

"Such a strong aura of Geng metal..."

Yan Xiaoling released a Gu worm the size of a soybean. This Gu worm emitted a faint yellow light and enveloped Yan Xiaoling's entire body.

Neither of the two women were ordinary cultivators, and they also noticed the abnormality of the place.

As for Gu Yuan, he remained unmoved, seemingly unaware of the Geng metal and Xin metal aura permeating the entire canyon.

His physique was extremely strong, so even if the environment here were several times or dozens of times worse, it wouldn't affect him, and naturally he wouldn't show any special characteristics.

Moreover, Gu Yuan also obtained the "Golden Spirit" talent through the Silverback Centipede A Wu, making him extremely sensitive to and compatible with the Qi of Geng Metal and Xin Metal.

There would be no problem in saying that this "Golden Spirit" talent is a kind of Metal-elemental spiritual talent.

Therefore, when Gu Yuan arrived at this place, he not only did not feel any discomfort or unease, but even felt a special sense of familiarity.

With each breath, the metal elemental energy of heaven and earth converged.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan sensed that the canyon was filled with ores imbued with the energy of Geng and Xin metals.

Gu Yuan even saw several scattered pieces of iron essence and black iron ore.

Underground, there is a huge mineral vein.

At least Gu Yuan could sense that deep underground, there was an immense amount of Geng and Xin metal energy.

However, with the silverback centipede exploring underground, Gu Yuan, whose consciousness was connected to it, was naturally able to see some things.

In fact, in an environment like the canyon in front of us, it is difficult for ordinary monsters and ferocious beasts to survive, and only some special species can survive.

For example, Gu Yuan saw a giant beast with jet-black fur, shaped like a water buffalo, but much larger than a giant elephant. It was six zhang long and more than four zhang tall.

The beast's mouth was filled with sharp, thick teeth, and its two curved horns on its head were spiraled, their tips pointing straight up into the sky, gleaming with a dark metallic luster.

At this moment, the giant beast was gnawing at a boulder with its mouth open, making a teeth-grinding "crunch crunch" sound.

The boulder was dark and had a metallic sheen. With the three of them's eyesight, they could tell that it was a natural iron ore deposit, several meters tall.

Under normal circumstances, even if an ordinary cultivator were to slash at this iron ore with a magic weapon or flying sword, a flying sword of slightly lower quality would hardly leave any marks.

However, at this moment, the giant beast had already chewed a large hole in the iron ore.

This gives us an idea of ​​the beast's teeth and digestive system.

Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised and uncertain, as if he had figured something out. As for Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling, they were completely dumbfounded.

They had certainly seen some rare and ferocious beasts, but they had never seen anything like this before.

Not far away, there were some scattered, piled-up, hard, dry things that looked like feces, but upon closer inspection, they looked more like irregular pieces of metal.

Upon seeing the three, the strange, buffalo-like beast merely lifted its eyelids and flicked its long, thick tail, appearing quite impatient.

But he ignored the three of them and instead opened his mouth to continue gnawing on the iron ore, making the others' teeth ache again.

Yan Xiaoling was curious. Seeing Gu Yuan's expression, which clearly showed he had figured something out, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Gu, what's this...?"

Gu Yuan explained, "This is a Ci Tie Beast, a rare beast that feeds on metal. Its excrement is also refined metal, which can be used to refine magical artifacts and even magical treasures."

Finally, he pointed to the piles of feces on the ground.

"Huh? The Iron Beast?"

The two were stunned upon hearing this, both somewhat taken aback.

"That's right. Although this iron beast feeds on metal, it is docile. As long as it doesn't feel threatened or is relatively small, it generally won't attack easily."

Gu Yuan nodded and explained.

Then he added:

"Furthermore, with this Iron Beast around, there shouldn't be any danger in this canyon under normal circumstances. My two junior sisters can explore this canyon more; they're sure to find something of value."

Reminded by Gu Yuan, the two of them brightened up, nodded their thanks, and then began to explore.

The two first came to a pile of iron beast dung, looked at it with some disgust for a few moments, and then noticed something unusual.

The pile of excrement was more than half a meter high, mostly composed of hard, iron-like blocks of material with irregular shapes. Ji Yuefei reached out and used magic to roll up one of the blocks, then nodded in satisfaction.

She was certain that Gu Yuan was right. Although the excrement from these iron beasts was a bit disgusting, it was actually a rare material. Who knew what kind of spirit iron it might be? It was more than enough to refine ordinary magical artifacts.

A few of them even had a coppery metallic luster, clearly indicating that they were special spiritual materials.

Now, the two women were like mice that had fallen into a rice jar, and they began to collect all the "excrement" from everywhere.

Although it's a bit unsettling, just think about it: if I got my hands on these things, once I left the Crimson Dragon Small World and went to the outside world, I could take them to some markets and they would definitely be welcomed. I could easily exchange them for all sorts of cultivation resources.

Therefore, what's on the ground isn't some kind of iron beast excrement, but rather piles of cultivation resources.

The two women busied themselves with great enthusiasm and joy, and Gu Yuan was not idle either.

He wandered around the canyon for a while, then went straight into the depths and soon came to an open space.

Here, the bushes are sparse, but there is a large tree that is as thick as three people can hug.

This big tree is quite peculiar.

Although it grows quite tall and sturdy, it doesn't have many branches and leaves. The leaves are dark green with a slight white sheen on the veins, making them look heavy and somewhat metallic.

Even the tree trunk and branches were dark and heavy, giving a sense of solidity and weight, as if they were cast from gold and iron.
