63: New map, Yangcheng

"You big idiot, let me out, let me out!"

Lin Yongmao was shocked. This Moon Toad Rabbit could actually speak human words, and even spoke beautiful Chinese.

One must know that only third-order Yao Beasts can speak human words, which is equivalent to a human Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

As expected of a Qi Luck Spirit Beast!

Lin Yongmao wouldn't indulge this rabbit. He directly slapped it on the head.

"Don't hit me, old man! [○･｀Д´･○]"

"If you hit me, you'll suffer retribution. I'm a Qi Luck Spirit Beast."

"You absolutely cannot kill me. If you kill me, you'll be unlucky for the rest of your life."

The Moon Toad Rabbit chattered incessantly.

Lin Yongmao knew that if one didn't possess monstrous Luck, one absolutely could not kill a Qi Luck Yao Beast, otherwise, they would truly be unlucky for a lifetime.

A smile appeared on Lin Yongmao's lips: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll just keep you locked up here, making you mine and plant herbs every day, doing the hardest work."

Hearing Lin Yongmao's threat, the Moon Toad Rabbit surprisingly adopted a resigned posture, collapsing directly onto the ground and closing its eyes.

It was still mumbling, "Then just kill me! I wish I were dead."

Lin Yongmao was speechless and ruthlessly kneaded its soft rabbit fur again.

He couldn't use the [Spirit Binding Contract] yet, not because of issues with Divine Sense or Mental Energy, but because he didn't have enough essence blood.

During the Qi Refinement Stage, Lin Yongmao's two drops of essence blood were used on the World Tree Sapling and the Gold-Eating Beast Little Pine respectively.

Lin Yongmao would not tolerate the Moon Toad Rabbit's mischief. He summoned the Gold-Eating Beast Little Pine from the small Spirit Stone mine.

"Little Pine, from now on, you'll take this fellow with you to mine! Just treat it as your subordinate; let it do all the dirty and tiring work."

The Moon Toad Rabbit showed a human-like expression of misery and cried out, "No! You're killing the rabbit ⁽⁽◞(꒪ͦᴗ̵̍꒪ͦ=͟͟͞͞꒪ͦᴗ̵̍꒪ͦ)◟⁾⁾!"

Lin Yongmao directly waved his hand, telling the Gold-Eating Beast Little Pine to take it away.

From then on, Little Pine had an extra task. Besides mining every day, it also needed to guard this rabbit, which was always trying to escape.

Only then did Lin Yongmao have time to kill all the remaining Yao Beasts.

Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff returned to its long-lost tranquility.

...

The next day.

The golden rooster heralded the dawn, and the sun rose in the east.

Lin Yongmao grabbed the Moon Toad Rabbit again: "From now on, you'll be called Black Slave. This name suits you well."

The Moon Toad Rabbit resisted desperately: "No, please, no! ˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚ Even Little White is fine, or White Cloud. Black Slave clearly doesn't fit my temperament."

The Moon Toad Rabbit was a hundred percent dissatisfied with this name.

Lin Yongmao smiled: "Blame yourself for coming late; someone is already called White Cloud."

White Cloud was the name Lin Yongmao gave to the thousand-year cloud mist tea.

Tears from the Moon Toad Rabbit's eyes splattered onto the ground. It felt very wronged and desperately wanted to escape from here.

This human in front of it was simply too detestable.

Lin Yongmao grabbed the Moon Toad Rabbit by the scruff of its neck, examining its innate abilities.

"[Luck Aura]:"

Within the aura's range, it can increase the Luck value of nearby creatures.

Current aura range: 1 meter in diameter

Current Luck value increase: 10

This innate ability was really good. Lin Yongmao's Luck value was originally 17 points, and after adding 10 points, it became 27 points.

He thought to himself, "System, I want to sign in!"

"Sign-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining [Medium Grade Spirit Soil] × 1."

Lin Yongmao's face showed joy. As expected, as long as he signed in near the Moon Toad Rabbit, the quality of the items obtained from signing in would be greatly improved.

Originally, the sign-in rewards were [spirit dew grass Seeds], but now they had become the higher-quality [Medium Grade Spirit Soil], directly rising a step.

Lin Yongmao stroked the Moon Toad Rabbit's soft white fur and said happily, "Black Slave, you truly are my lucky star."

"Hehehe!"

"Let go of this rabbit! Since you know I'm a lucky star, you should treat me well and worship me.

┻━┻︵╰(‵□′)╯︵┻━┻"

The Moon Toad Rabbit looked like an peerless master, lonely as snow.

Lin Yongmao directly gave it a few hard knocks on the head, then, after thinking, took out some Spiritual Plants.

"spirit dew grass, want to eat?"

"Even if I starve to death today, die right here, I won't eat a single thing from you." The Moon Toad Rabbit Black Slave swore solemnly.

Lin Yongmao directly threw the spirit dew grass to the Gold-Eating Beast Little Pine.

"Come, Little Pine, eat more. There are no more seeds for this spirit dew grass, so there's less and less to eat from now on."

Little Pine directly swallowed the spirit dew grass.

This spirit dew grass was especially delicious, very juicy, each one like a grape, sweet and sour.

However, the spirit dew grass's color was even more crystalline, like pearls.

The Moon Toad Rabbit's throat rumbled as it swallowed its saliva, and its originally fierce appearance became docile.

Lin Yongmao smiled, then casually threw out a spirit dew grass. The Moon Toad Rabbit quickly ran over and stuffed it into its mouth.

The Moon Toad Rabbit's three legs were fumbling, looking very adorable.

"So delicious!"

Lin Yongmao sighed, as expected, even Qi Luck Spirit Beasts couldn't escape the "true delicious" law.

Lin Yongmao said seriously, "Continue to stay here, and there will be more Spiritual Plants to eat, understood?"

Moon Toad Rabbit: "Black Slave understands."

...

Lin Yucheng and Lin Jing had already crossed the Qingyang Mountain Range.

As Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi of Spirit Treasure Pavilion had said, one only needed to apply the Demon Saliva Grass powder to their body, and it would emit the aura of a fourth-order Yao Beast.

As soon as the Yao Beasts in the Qingyang Mountain Range smelled the scent of this Demon Saliva Grass, they would immediately scatter and flee.

They relied on this method to successfully cross the Qingyang Mountain Range.

Lin Yucheng held a parchment map in his hand and said to Lin Jing behind him, "Thanks to Shopkeeper Xu for also giving me a map of the Qingyang Mountain Range, otherwise it would have been really difficult to successfully avoid so many dangers."

Although he had been hunting Yao Beasts in the Qingyang Mountain Range for many years, there were still many unknown areas.

Lin Jing scratched her head: "I just don't know why, but it feels like the number of Yao Beasts in the Qingyang Mountain Range has decreased quite a bit this time."

Lin Yucheng also had the same question.

However, the two of them didn't think too much about it, trying their best to avoid dangerous terrain. It took them four days to successfully cross the Qingyang Mountain Range.

This path could be said to be Spirit Treasure Pavilion's trade route, so the danger factor was relatively small.

The scenery before Lin Yucheng and Lin Jing suddenly opened up.

If one lived in the Qingyang Mountain Range for a long time, they would definitely become emotional. Here, ancient towering trees blocked most of the view.

Coupled with the hot and humid environment, mosquitoes, and poisonous beasts, one could easily be poisoned if not careful.

If there were also no other people around, the loneliness would be unbearable for ordinary people.

Fortunately, Lin Yucheng had Lin Jing accompanying him; if he were alone, he wouldn't even have someone to look out for each other.

Lin Yucheng looked at the town before them, letting out a breath of stale air: "Finally out, is this Yang City?"
