Chapter 193: Burrowing Mouse Evolves into Treasure-Seeking Mouse (Second Update, Seeking Subscriptions)

"Are you sure? Although the corpse of a Xi Mouse is considered precious, there are many treasures more valuable than it!"

Vice Principal Xu was somewhat puzzled. The Xi Mouse belongs to the category of High-level Exotic Beast, and as an adult, it reaches the Leader level. However, among all his collections, the value of a Xi Mouse corpse can only be considered mid-to-low tier.

The fur of a Xi Mouse can be used to make Superior Quality cold-resistant clothing and bedding, but many Spirit Beasts have fur with cold-resistant functions, and there are even many that are better than Xi Mouse fur.

Using Xi Mouse skin to cover a drum allows its sound to travel a thousand miles. It sounds quite impressive, but the function is still lackluster. Firstly, it can only transmit the sound of the drum, and secondly, the person beating the drum must find a way to resist the Giant Sound.

The hair of a Xi Mouse can summon rodents, but it can only summon them without being able to control them. The effect is relatively limited, which is another lackluster function.

Of course, because the vitality of the flesh and blood remains, the flesh and blood of a Xi Mouse also possesses considerable value, but the prerequisite for everything is having a Demon Pet with the Xi Mouse Bloodline.

"Principal, my Burrowing Mouse possesses the Xi Mouse Bloodline!" While speaking, Li Zhangsheng tapped his Monster Pet Bag and released the Burrowing Mouse.

As soon as it left the Monster Pet Bag, the Burrowing Mouse seemed to sense something. Its eyes immediately fell upon the stone box containing the Xi Mouse corpse, and it could no longer look away, its eyes filled with unconcealable longing.

For the Burrowing Mouse, the flesh and blood of the Xi Mouse held extreme temptation; this was the key to whether it could evolve.

As long as it devours the flesh and blood of the Bloodline source, the originally impure Bloodline within the Spirit Beast has a chance to be neutralized and purified, subsequently completing its evolution.

To put it simply, one side is half a cup of clear water, and the other is half a cup of turbid water. If you pour the half cup of clear water into the half cup of turbid water, the two will naturally neutralize, the turbidity of the turbid water will decrease, and the purity will naturally increase.

"It indeed possesses the Xi Mouse Bloodline, and there is a significant possibility of evolution after consuming the Xi Mouse flesh! Hmm, I agree with your choice!" Seeing the appearance and reaction of the Burrowing Mouse, Vice Principal Xu chose to agree.

Since Li Zhangsheng has a Burrowing Mouse with the Xi Mouse Bloodline, the value of the Xi Mouse corpse to him has naturally increased significantly.

"Many thanks, Principal!"

After finishing, Li Zhangsheng placed the stone box containing the Xi Mouse into his Space Ring.

Li Zhangsheng did not stay long, but he still calmly bid farewell to Vice Principal Xu and returned to the Number One Courtyard with a steady pace.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Li Zhangsheng's pace quickened. He hurried to the backyard and impatiently took out the stone box containing the Xi Mouse corpse.

Li Zhangsheng carefully dragged the Xi Mouse corpse out. After moving a distance away from the stone box, he used his Mental Power to sense it and discovered that the light spot emitting strong energy fluctuations still overlapped with the Xi Mouse corpse; he had confirmed that the treasure had nothing to do with the stone box.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng put the Xi Mouse corpse back into the stone box. A sharp knife appeared in his hand, and he began cutting the Xi Mouse corpse.

Because he often collects Spirit Beast corpses, his "Dissection Technique" was quite proficient, and soon most of the Xi Mouse was dissected.

A large amount of fresh blood gushed out, landing in the stone box. In order to increase the success rate of the Burrowing Mouse's evolution as much as possible, Li Zhangsheng did not waste a single drop.

Clang—

Just as he was dissecting the stomach of the Xi Mouse, the sharp knife collided slightly with a hard object.

Li Zhangsheng's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly cut open the entire stomach, revealing a Ten-Colored Precious Pearl the size of an adult's fist.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, white, gold!

Corresponding to ten common attributes of Spirit Beasts!

"What is this?" Li Zhangsheng carefully picked up the Ten-Colored Precious Pearl. No matter how he racked his brains, he could not think of its name or function.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng took out the *Treasures Compendium* he carried with him and began to look up information about the Ten-Colored Precious Pearl.

"Nothing, how could there be nothing!" After a long while, Li Zhangsheng put down the book in frustration. He had searched the entire *Treasures Compendium*, but he simply could not find any information related to the ten-colored treasure.

"Forget it, let's first see if the Burrowing Mouse can evolve!" Li Zhangsheng put away the Ten-Colored Precious Pearl and the Xi Mouse's fur, and released the Burrowing Mouse again.

"Burrowing Mouse, eat it!"

As Li Zhangsheng's voice fell, the Burrowing Mouse hurriedly lay on the stone box and impatiently stretched its head inside.

The Burrowing Mouse was a glutton by nature. Its eating speed was extremely fast. Before long, it had devoured all the Xi Mouse flesh in the stone box, and even licked the bloodstains on the stone box clean, without wasting a single bit.

The next moment, the Burrowing Mouse's expression changed slightly. It clutched its stomach tightly with its claws and rolled on the ground in pain. Its eyes revealed extreme pain; clearly, the process of Bloodline evolution was very painful.

Soon, the Burrowing Mouse calmed down. Earth-yellow energy began to emerge on its body surface, and as time passed, it became increasingly Rich, slowly spreading outward.

Li Zhangsheng retreated a distance. His gaze was fixed on the Burrowing Mouse wrapped in earth-yellow energy. If the Burrowing Mouse encountered an accident, he would forcibly intervene.

Soon, the earth-yellow energy stopped spreading and instead became even more Rich.

Li Zhangsheng did not wait long before the earth-yellow energy quickly disappeared, revealing the figure of the Burrowing Mouse.

The Burrowing Mouse's body size had become much smaller, with a body length of about half a meter. It had a pair of large, watery eyes, its fur was yellow with white, and its whole body was chubby, resembling an enlarged bamboo rat, but it was fatter than a bamboo rat, almost becoming round.

Seeing the changes in the Burrowing Mouse, Li Zhangsheng could not help but breathe a sigh of relief; this meant that the Burrowing Mouse had completed its evolution.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Treasure-Seeking Mouse (Mature Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Intermediate 7th Stage

【Spirit Beast Species】: Medium Warrior

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Superior Quality

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Xi Mouse Bloodline (Sparse)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Earth Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Wood

Treasure-Seeking Mouse: Extremely rare, not known for its attack, speed is extremely fast, skills are mainly auxiliary. Its meat is extremely delicious, and more importantly, it possesses a rare treasure-seeking talent, often able to search for nearby treasures.

"Treasure-Seeking Mouse!" Li Zhangsheng was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the Burrowing Mouse to evolve into a Treasure-Seeking Mouse, even though he had heard of the great name of the Treasure-Seeking Mouse.

The Treasure-Seeking Mouse is extremely rare. Although its treasure-seeking talent is mostly unreliable, and most of the items it finds are of average or even no value, occasionally there are flashes of brilliance that can bring great gains to its master.

This is the so-called "don't open for a year, but eat for three years once you open!"

Besides this, in this evolution, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse reached the Medium Warrior species, and its quality was sublimated from Mid-grade to Superior Quality, so its combat power and survival ability have been greatly improved.

After the evolution was completed, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse jumped into Li Zhangsheng's arms excitedly, making happy calls to express its inner joy.

Li Zhangsheng stroked the Treasure-Seeking Mouse's head and spent some time with it before taking it back.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng left the courtyard. His heart was still thinking about the Ten-Colored Precious Pearl, so he hurried toward the direction of the Tianlu Pavilion. With his status as a Second Rank student, he could already read the books on the second floor.

The books on the second floor were obviously fewer, but the content of the books was more profound, already involving some more advanced knowledge.
