Chapter 35: Target the Fossil Helm!

Hearing the System Prompt Sound beside his ear, Lin Mo hurriedly leapt onto the branch.

He gazed into the distance.

He saw a Gillfish Dragon over two meters tall, shaking its head as it crawled out of an underground spring pool.

Opposite the Gillfish Dragon stood the bespectacled man Lin Mo had seen earlier.

At the man's side was a Throwing Feather Owl repeatedly flapping its wings.

"A mid‑Elite Gillfish Dragon is not something an early‑Elite Throwing Feather Owl can handle!"

Lin Mo's eyes flickered as he murmured softly.

"Roar!"

The Gillfish Dragon may look foolish, but its movements are still very swift.

Its two massive feet pounded the ground, emitting a series of thunderous booms.

A faint white light instantly enveloped the Gillfish Dragon.

Huge rocks materialized out of thin air, hovering in the air.

"Primordial Power!"

Lin Mo's eyes flickered, instantly recognizing the technique.

It is a Rock Attribute technique that deals double damage to Flying‑type Little Spirits.

"If it hits, the Throwing Feather Owl might lose its combat ability outright!"

Lin Mo curled his lip and smiled faintly.

It must be said, the bespectacled man is after all a top student of Jinling Academy.

His reaction was extremely swift.

"Flying Leaf Swift Blade!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As the man finished speaking, emerald‑green Flying Leaves gathered beside the Throwing Feather Owl.

The Flying Leaves shot out, colliding rapidly with the dense cluster of rocks.

"Rumble!"

Accompanied by a series of ear‑splitting roars.

The battlefield was instantly shrouded by a pale yellow dust.

For a moment, the outcome was impossible to discern.

"Ding‑dong! A Fossil Helm detected 100 meters ahead!"

【Fossil Helm (Rock Attribute/Water Attribute)】

【Level: LV24 (Ordinary Level)】

【Trait: Battle Armor】

【Skills: Claw, Water Jet, Stare, Mud Attack】

【Potential: Ordinary Level】

At that moment, another System Prompt Sound rang out.

Following the direction of the sound, he saw on the right side of the battlefield.

A mound of jet‑black fossils.

It was easy to guess that the Fossil Helm lay within that pile.

Moreover, the remarkable thing was that this Fossil Helm's strength was only early‑Ordinary Level.

It is entirely within Lin Mo's capability to handle now.

"But..."

But soon, Lin Mo looked again at the Gillfish Dragon and the Throwing Feather Owl on the battlefield.

These two Elite Level Little Spirits, regardless of who wins, offer no advantage to Lin Mo.

As for the so‑called mutual defeat, it's a self‑pick‑up.

That possibility is extremely low.

After all, as long as these two Elite Level Little Spirits have even a trace of stamina,

they can instantly kill Lin Mo's strongest combat power, Miaomiao.

Meanwhile, the battlefield situation suddenly shifted.

When the dust cleared, the Gillfish Dragon opened its mouth.

A torrent of rushing water surged out of its mouth.

The water stream was extremely powerful and incredibly swift.

The Throwing Feather Owl was momentarily unprepared, and the stream struck its wings.

"Splat!"

A vivid red wound instantly appeared on the Throwing Feather Owl's wing.

Bright red blood dripped continuously from its feathers.

Within moments, its left wing turned blood‑red.

With the wing injured, the Throwing Feather Owl's speed also decreased.

Flying in midair, it staggered and faltered.

It seemed as if it could fall at any moment.

"Bang! Bang!"

The Gillfish Dragon, after all, is an Elite Level Little Spirit with abundant combat experience.

He stepped directly onto the massive pair of feet and lunged toward the Throwing Feather Owl.

"Damn it!"

The glasses man, seeing this, muttered under his breath and immediately pulled out a Spirit Ball.

With a "Pat" sound, a red flash streaked by, instantly capturing the Throwing Feather Owl in midair.

Having done all that, the glasses man again pulled out a Spirit Ball.

As the red light flashed.

A Big‑Mouth Finch appeared at his side.

"Ding‑dong! Little Spirit Big‑Mouth Finch detected 100 meters away!"

【Big‑Mouth Finch (Normal type/Flying type)】

【Level: LV26 (Normal stage)】

【Ability: Sharp Gaze】

【Skills: Impact, Flash of Electric Light, Peck, Swallow Return, Wing Attack】

【Potential: Normal rank】

"Looks like it wants to run away!"

Seeing the Big‑Mouth Finch's strength, Lin Mo immediately discerned the glasses man's intention.

But not wanting to continue the entanglement, he leapt straight onto the Big‑Mouth Finch's back.

"Go!"

Understanding, the Big‑Mouth Finch beat its wings vigorously, stirring up gusts of wind.

Seeing the food about to flee, how could the Gill Fish Dragon let it go?

He opened his mouth, and another stream of water gathered at it.

"Pfft!"

The water surged out at great speed, reaching the Big‑Mouth Finch's rear in an instant.

But the glasses man had already taken a loss once; how could he suffer another?

He patted the Big‑Mouth Finch's body, and it rose swiftly.

He dodged the raging Water Gun directly.

The Gill Fish Dragon, flustered, shook its head and chased after the glasses man.

From a distance, Lin Mo watched the scene and couldn't help but smile.

"Leaving?"

Lin Mo immediately ran out of the bushes.

He jogged along and soon arrived at the spot where the System Prompt Sound had sounded earlier.

Looking around, dozens of fossils of varying sizes were piled at the cave entrance.

But it was unclear whether Lin Mo's luck was bad or the contents inside the fossils were too rare.

Among all these fossils, there was only one Fossil Helmet.

Lin Mo sifted through the fossil pile and quickly uncovered a massive fossil nearly half a human's size.

"This… so big!"

Staring at the gigantic fossil before him, Lin Mo froze on the spot.

The Fossil Helmet was only half a meter tall, but the surrounding fossil was twice its size.

Its weight reached several hundred jin.

"This… how to carry it away?"

Lin Mo looked at the fossil, his eyes filled with struggle.

A Fossil‑type Little Spirit, regardless of its strength.

The low price is 500,000.

This was what Lin Mo knew before entering the Secret Realm.

Fossil‑type Little Spirits are valued not for combat but for research.

For those researchers, studying these ancient‑era Little Spirits.

Provides great assistance to the development of present‑day Little Spirits.

Thus, many research institutions are eyeing the purchase of Fossil‑type Little Spirits.

This is why Fossil Little Spirits remain pricey.

"This…"

Gazing at the fossil before him, Lin Mo hesitated.

"500,000!"

"Worth risking once!"

Lin Mo licked his lips and quickly opened his backpack.

Bottles of Fossil Corrosion Liquid were already in his hand.

Lin Mo's idea was simple.

Since the fossil couldn't be taken, why not just take the Little Spirit inside?

Dissolve the stone, take the spirit.

That was Lin Mo's plan.

"Cila La!"

As the Item: Hua Shi Rong Jie Ye poured onto the fossil, a series of sharp corrosive sounds rang out instantly.

What follows is a series of pungent, thick smoke wisps, continuously billowing out from the fossil.
