Chapter 33
"Whoosh!"
In the dense forest, Tang Huan leaped as if he was flying.
At this moment, he was completely naked from the waist up. The clothes that had been torn to shreds by the wolves had been tied around his waist, covering his vitals. As for the Fire Cloud Sword, Tang Huan simply took out a flexible vine and wrapped it around his back.
Even though he had been running in the forest for close to a quarter of an hour, Tang Huan's heart was still agitated.
Just now, what he had opened was not a single spirit vein, but the seventh and eighth spirit veins in succession. At present, although the spirit vein had not expanded, his true qi had skyrocketed.
Thinking back to that scene, Tang Huan still felt that it was inconceivable.
The golden liquid that little one took out from the sharp horn actually had such a miraculous effect! A spirit beast was indeed a spirit beast. No wonder it could make wolves salivate.
"Yiya!"
Suddenly, little one, who was sitting on his left shoulder, called out happily, and his little claws pointed forward.
Looking in the direction it was pointing, he saw a cliff that was a few hundred meters away. Tang Huan immediately ran. Once they were in front of the cliff, little one slipped off Tang Huan's shoulder and jumped onto a rock close to the cliff.
Immediately after, an image that caused Tang Huan to be dumbstruck appeared. That large piece of moss had been lifted open like a curtain by little one, revealing a one meter tall hole. [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents]
"This, this..."
Tang Huan exclaimed in his heart.
This little one really knew how to hide himself well. Not to mention the hole in the tree bark, he must have been drunk and not so natural. However, the cave covered in moss was now one with its surroundings. Who would have thought that beneath the almost undamaged moss was a completely different world?
"Yiya, yiya …"
little one excitedly waved his claws at Tang Huan. Tang Huan walked over and grabbed the moss curtain with two steps, and then, little one jumped into the cave.
The height and width of the cave was around 1.5m and Tang Huan was 1.7m tall, so he could still enter with a bent waist.
After putting down the moss, the interior of the cave was pitch black, but the blue colored body was the guiding light. little one ran in front with big steps, with Tang Huan following behind while crouching down.
The top of the hill was located about ten meters away from the cliff. After the top of the hill, there seemed to be many different coloured lights flashing around.
"Yiya!"
Once little one reached the top of the slope, he let out a cheer, curled his little body, and rolled down. [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents]
Tang Huan bumped his head thrice consecutively before he bared his teeth and climbed up the slope. Looking down, he could see that at the end of the cave which was around ten metres away from the cliff, a bright and colorful light illuminated the two meter radius area around it, lighting up the cave completely.
At that moment, little one was lying right in the middle of the colorful light.
"Gem!"
Tang Huan shouted out emotionally, and even his breathing became rapid, the light emitting from the gems with different appearances.
Fiery red "Flaming Cloud Stone" and "Scarlet Rainbow Stone", snow-white "Frozen Soul Stone" and "Shadow Moon Stone", yellow "Profound Stone", dark blue "Water Immortal Stone", black "Ink Spirit Stone", purple "Thunder Light Stone", and so on. All of them were low-grade gems.
At the end of the stone cave, not only were there colourful colors, there were also various types of auras that were transmitted over. Some were cold, some were scorching hot, some were berserk, and some were soft.
"There should be at least over a hundred of them, this is a bountiful harvest!"
Tang Huan's eyes lit up, he never thought that little one, a rich man, would actually collect so many gems. "Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love!"
But at the next moment, as if he had been struck on the head, Tang Huan let out a blood-curdling scream as he looked at the bottom of the hole in pain. At this time, little one coincidentally grabbed a "Thunder Light Stone" that was brimming with purple light and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Yiya?"
little one raised her head and looked at Tang Huan in confusion. Her little claws had once again stuffed a "Ice Soul Stone" into her mouth and with another two clicks, she spat out a pile of debris.
Tang Huan covered his eyes, the pain in his heart was unbearable to look at.
little one could not understand Tang Huan's movements. Baffled, he blinked his eyes a few times, then completely ignored this weird fellow, waving his two little claws, sending one gem after another into his mouth. After chewing for a few times, he turned into a pile of crushed stone and spat it out at the side.
When little one finally ate more than ten gems, he still couldn't help but slip to the bottom of the cave.
At this time, Tang Huan finally noticed that the area around the cave had accumulated a large amount of stone dregs, at least several hundred of them.
F * ck, there are hundreds of gems here, but I've never seen so many in my life.
Tang Huan's heart twitched uncontrollably as he stared at little one. Every time it entered his mouth, his throat would throb.
"Yiya?"
little one finally discovered Tang Huan's abnormality, his little claws stopped at the corner of his mouth, looked at the brightly colored "Golden Red Stone" in his claws, and then looked at Tang Huan. He seemed to be reluctant to part with it, but not long later, little one finally clenched his teeth and passed the "Golden Red Stone" to Tang Huan.
"little one, you eat, you eat!" Tang Huan forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Yiya!"
little one seemed to be very confused, but her actions were not hesitating at all. With a happy cry, she waved her little claws, and the 'Golden Red Stone' entered her mouth.
Tang Huan's heart twitched once again, but he quickly discovered that little one's golden horn had become a bit brighter, and a bit more spirit appeared in his large eyes.
"So that's how it is."
Tang Huan finally realized that little one was relying on these gems to recover. After he understood this point, Tang Huan's heart finally felt comfortable, but very soon his expression changed. little one not only relied on the gem to recover, he also ate the gem.
If I have to eat precious stones everyday, how will I feed it in the future?
Tang Huan wailed from the bottom of his heart, his facial features twisted, looking extremely miserable. little one didn't seem to notice Tang Huan's vexation at all as he ate in extreme delight. For a time, the only sounds that remained at the bottom of the hole were the chewing sounds and the sound of rocks being spat out.
"Eyah, uh …"
Not long after, Tang Huan who was scratching his ears and cheeks was awakened by the clear and crisp shout. Looking up, he saw little one sprawled on the ground, his white, small belly bulging out as he burped contentedly.
Beside little one, not a single gem was left.
"Have you finished eating?" He had thought that little one would at least leave behind a few of them.
"Uh, uh... "Yiya …" little one burped twice consecutively before opening up a small claw. Inside was a white "Shadow Moon Stone", precisely because of this gem. The bottom of the cave maintained a bit of light, and it was very possible that little one kept it to light up the cave.
"Fine." Tang Huan was completely defeated, he held his forehead and lamented, "little one, you've finished your meal, what do you want to eat next time?"
"Yiya!"
Hearing that, little one immediately turned his round belly over and over, using his four limbs to crawl out, but after climbing not even one metre, he suddenly rolled down, and did the same thing several times. It was obvious that he had eaten too safely, and did not have enough strength left to push himself up against the ground.
Tang Huan could not bear to watch any longer, he grabbed the upset and dejected little one and placed him on his shoulder.
