Chapter 34: Hard Stone! Attribute Treasure!

Let's go in and have a look!

Lin Mo didn't hesitate much, but instead strode forward.

Since we've already come here, there's no option to retreat.

Hmph!

Accompanied by a wailing sound, a blood-covered man stumbled out from deep within the forest.

At the sight of a human figure, Lin Mo immediately hid behind a large tree.

Turning his body sideways, he watched the man stagger toward the outside of the canyon.

Strange! Weren't there two people who just went in? How come only one came out?

Lin Mo rubbed his chin, looking at the man's wound, and muttered softly, 'It looks like he was slashed by some sharp blade, but if it were a Little Spirit, how could this person still be alive?'

The Little Spirit's power is immensely strong; if one were truly hit by its technique,

Almost no human could survive unharmed.

It's a pity my strength is too weak, otherwise I wouldn't dare go forward to ask about the situation inside!

Watching the man's back, Lin Mo shook his head slightly.

Ding! Detected a Little Spirit Feather-throwing Owl ahead at one meter!

【Feather-throwing Owl (Grass-type/Flying-type)】

【Level: LV31 (Elite Level)】

【Trait: Lush】

【Skills: Impact, Leaf, Peck, Flying Leaf Swift Blade, Shadow Sneak, Photosynthesis, Trickery】

【Potential: Elite Level】

Hearing the system prompt sound in his ear, Lin Mo quickly looked up.

He saw a white figure flash by.

And when the Feather-throwing Owl appeared again, it had already arrived behind the man who had just fled.

Screech!

Sharp claws instantly pierced the man's chest.

A man swayed as he walked from afar.

His gaze cold, he said flatly, 'Since you've discovered that thing, I can't let you live!'

They're killing each other?!!

At the sight of another student appearing, Lin Mo immediately realized what was happening.

Something that could make two Elite-level trainers turn against each other.

Its value must be extraordinary.

The man adjusted his hair and skillfully pulled out a pair of black-frame glasses from his bag.

He then leisurely walked over to the corpse lying on the ground.

He then took two Spirit Balls from the corpse.

What a pity about these few Little Spirits!

The bespectacled man shook his head and then tucked the several Spirit Balls into his pocket.

He muttered softly, 'It's not convenient to make a move!'

After all, the bespectacled man had killed his companion with his own hands; if he were to make a move on those few Little Spirits,

wouldn't that be openly telling others that he's a murderer?

The bespectacled man looked regretful, then waved at the Feather-throwing Owl: 'Come with me!'

Thud! Thud! Thud!

As the man's clear footsteps faded away, Lin Mo finally poked his head out.

His gaze fell on the corpse lying on the ground.

His eyes flickered; after hesitating a moment, he still walked over.

The man's chest was ripped open by the Feather-throwing Owl's sharp claws.

Bright red blood kept gushing from the man's chest.

Lin Mo naturally had no thought of saving the man's life; instead, he wanted to size him up.

In order to infer what precious treasure the two had encountered.

It could actually cause two outstanding students who had joined the Spirit Guard to kill each other.

Ding! An attribute treasure, Hard Stone (damaged), detected ahead at one meter!

"Hard Stone: a Rock-attribute treasure; after absorbing and using it, it can increase the power and aptitude of Rock-type Little Spirits!"

"The aptitude increase must not exceed Heavenly King Level!"

In other words, it can allow a Little Spirit with Quasi-Heavenly King aptitude to break through its shackles.

Rush to Heavenly King.

"Attribute Treasure!!!"

Lin Mo's face turned grim, and he hurriedly moved the corpse in front of him aside.

A stone flashing with a faint yellow glow appeared in the corpse's pocket.

Hard Stone is a good thing, a Rock-attribute treasure.

Not only can it increase the power of Rock-type Little Spirits,

but most importantly, it can increase the aptitude of Rock-type Little Spirits.

This thing, though, is priceless yet unsellable on the market.

The typical price is in the millions.

But each time it is sold, it draws many people to take part.

These are treasures only discovered in the Secret Realm, truly far too scarce.

Lin Mo picked up the Hard Stone and looked down.

The Hard Stone, once round and smooth, now has only a small half left.

Upon close inspection, it looks as if it had been sliced by some sharp blade.

He then examined the corpse on the ground more closely.

It is not hard to infer that the student was severely wounded in order to obtain the Hard Stone.

That gave the glasses man an opening.

"But why didn't the glasses man take the Hard Stone away?"

Lin Mo stroked his chin, gazed at the remaining half of the Hard Stone, and murmured softly, "Could it be that the glasses man doesn't know about this Hard Stone?"

"Looks like it's rather interesting!"

For such a bizarre matter, Lin Mo laughed heartily without a care.

A half of a Hard Stone offers very limited power boost to a Little Spirit, let alone the precious quality‑enhancing effect.

"I must get the Hard Stone!"

Lin Mo's eyes flickered, and he immediately made up his mind.

"Let's go!"

Relying on the System Prompt Sound, Lin Mo wasn't afraid of encountering the glasses man.

He could completely avoid him.

One by one, the emerald ancient trees were large enough for several people to wrap their arms around the trunks.

Their massive canopies directly blocked the sunlight.

Thus the depths of the dense forest ahead were pitch black.

"Ding-dong! Little Spirit Aba Snake detected ahead!"

【Aba Snake (Poison Type)】

【Level: LV20 (Normal Rank)】

【Trait: Intimidate】

【Skills: Impact, Poison Needle, Shrill Sound, Bite Hold, Tight Bind】

【Potential: Normal Extreme】

Hearing the System Prompt Sound at his ears, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow slightly and hurried to take a detour.

An early Normal Rank Aba Snake, though not yet an Aba Monster, is not weak in strength.

Even if Lin Mo could rely on Miaomiao to win, it would still be a crushing victory.

There's no need to risk it at this critical moment.

As Lin Mo bypassed the Aba Monster, a series of stream sounds came to his ears.

"Is there water here?"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes, rushed forward quickly, and soon saw a winding creek.

It flowed beneath the ancient trees, winding and twisting, its destination unknown.

"It must be an underground dark river!"

Lin Mo brushed the wetness and whispered, "There's no glacial melt nearby, the terrain is low; this is the only possibility!"

In a place where fossils exist, finding an underground dark river means this is an outflow.

There should be many fossil deposits.

"Lucky, we can discover some good stuff!"

A smile tugged at Lin Mo's mouth, and he proceeded forward.

"Roar!!!"

At the same time, a low roar suddenly sounded.

"Ding-dong! Little Spirit Gillfish Dragon detected 300 meters ahead!"

【Gillfish Dragon (Water/Dragon Type)】

【Level: LV35 (Elite Level)】

【Trait: Strong Jaw】

【Skills: Impact, Water Gun, Guard, Primordial Power, Bite Hold, Dragon Breath】

【Potential: Elite Level】
