The iron-eating beast in the valley below was eating with relish, but Lin Xiang in the sky had an inexplicable sour feeling in his teeth.
This iron-eating beast not only has good teeth, but its stomach and intestines also seem to be in good shape, otherwise how could it digest the ore it eats so smoothly!
Soon, the watermelon-sized ore was devoured by the iron-eating beast.
After eating, this guy lay on his back on the pebbles, patted his round belly with satisfaction with his furry bear paws, and seemed to close his eyes to rest.
After a while, it opened its sleepy eyes again, turned over and lay down on the river bank, gently scooped up a handful of water with its claws, and the water flowed through its fingers. It enjoyed doing this.
"If it reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Golden Core Stage, I'm afraid it will have a flying sword at every turn." Lin Xiang thought to himself that if he could subdue this iron-eating beast, he would probably be treated like Chi You.
It is not only powerful, but its cute appearance will surely capture the hearts of players.
Lin Xiang believes that no Chinese player can resist the temptation of the iron-eating beast!
"Wouldn't it be a bit too much to trick such a beast into being a mascot? Perhaps it would give players a reason to come back from time to time."
Even though he already had a mount as powerful as the Black Dragon, he still didn't want to let go of such an iron-eating beast easily.
The Shiwan Mountains are so big. If it leaves, I don’t know when we will meet again.
Perhaps because he was high up in the sky, the iron-eating beast was busy eating and playing in the water and didn't notice any trace of him at all.
I don’t know if it’s because of its thick skin and flesh, but this iron-eating beast seems to have no sense of crisis.
Indeed, with its level 18 strength and talent, it should be invincible outside the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Hundreds of players and monks fought day and night in the Ten Thousand Mountains without encountering it, but it was accidentally discovered by Lin Xiang. What a damn fate!
Lin Xiang took out the only piece of top-grade star iron ore he had collected from his space ring. He originally planned to extract the five elements essence from it for cultivation.
Now prepare to take it out as food bait.
Before he could lower his flying altitude, the water-dwelling ferruginous beast moved its black nose slightly as if it had smelled fish, sniffing around.
A pair of eyes with thick dark circles scanned the surroundings, and saliva flowed down unconsciously.
No longer playing in the water or taking food, the iron-eating beast searched everywhere, rolling its round body over and over in the valley, as if it thought that the delicious food that made it extremely excited was hidden in the valley.
Lin Xiang held the ore and felt a little surprised.
This thing is too sensitive to top-grade ores!
Although he didn't reveal any aura, he was able to keenly sense good things.
"Perhaps it would be a good idea to develop it into a dowser for finding metal veins. It could help me find a few more veins. But it doesn't seem very smart. How could it not notice a figure as big as me?"
Lin Xiang had to slowly descend from the sky. At this time, the iron-eating beast that was wreaking havoc in the valley finally sensed the existence of the ore.
Originally, the short-tailed beast had its back to Lin Xiang, but it immediately turned around at an agile speed, not even caring whether Lin Xiang was a friend or an enemy, and pounced directly to snatch the ore from his hand.
In fact, the iron-eating beast is not fat, but strong.
Lin Xiang didn't want to be hit by a tank, so he used his last Wanli Yellow Sand Flag to wave out ropes of yellow sand, surrounding the iron-eating beast tightly. Only its head was exposed, and its body turned into a yellow sand ball.
Now, as a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lin Xiang is able to unleash the full power of top-grade magic weapons and deal with Qi Refining Stage monsters easily and effortlessly.
His body was suspended in mid-air by the yellow sand, with no foothold, and he had no place to use his enormous strength.
The iron-eating beast was completely defeated by the soft and hard yellow sand, and roared angrily, but the sound was extremely weak, which was inconsistent with its body size.
Lin Xiang took the top-grade star iron ore in his hand and said to it, "If you submit to me, this ore will belong to you, and you will be able to eat iron ore every day from now on."
He originally thought that the iron-eating beast would resist for its dignity, but he didn't expect to receive a prompt from the game system immediately.
[Successfully subdued a lv.18 Iron Eater, gaining 1000 experience points.]
"Is he so shameless?" Lin Xiang was completely confused. Is this guy just waiting for someone to appear and support him?
The black ears of the iron-eating beast swayed slightly, and its eyes were fixed on the iron ore, and it even swallowed its saliva.
Lin Xiang had no choice but to control the Wanli Yellow Sand Flag and place it above the valley.
The first thing the iron-eating beast did after regaining its freedom was to rush to Lin Xiang. It squatted on the ground with its huge, round body, and then hugged Lin Xiang's thighs with its huge claws.
The movements look extremely skillful.
"Here you go, here you go."
Lin Xiang handed the iron ore to the iron-eating beast and reached out to touch its fur.
The black and white fur is actually a little hard and not as soft as that of cats and dogs, but because of the thicker fat, it is still very comfortable to rub.
This big guy held the top-grade star iron ore in his claws, opened his huge mouth, and instantly used his sharp teeth and huge bite force to create sparks on the iron ore!
"Oh no, don't break your teeth, okay?"
After all, the iron-eating beast is only in the Qi Refining Stage. Even if it feeds on iron ore and copper ore, no matter how good its teeth are, it cannot bite through these materials that can be used to refine top-level magic weapons.
After several bites, its teeth didn't break, but it couldn't bite it at all. It was so anxious that it waved its claws, trying to destroy it with its sharp claws.
Sparks were still flying, but after all the operations, the ore was only slightly damaged, with some stone chips on the surface flying away.
Lin Xiang really wanted to say to it, "Master Panda, please stop scraping me."
"Or you can eat this."
He took out the low-grade star iron ore, which was much more complete than the gravel that the iron-eating beast had found in the valley.
The basic content of minerals that can be washed out by underground river water is not very high.
The iron-eating beast is very careful. It carefully puts the top-quality ore behind its back, and then leans on it without feeling any discomfort.
Then he picked up the low-grade star iron ore, put it to his mouth, and started to chew it in big mouthfuls.
It bites off the hard iron ore piece by piece, making it as crunchy as chewing ice.
Lin Xiang patted its head and said with a smile, "If you want to eat harder ores, you have to work hard to improve yourself. You eat first, I'll go set up the formation."
The Wanli Yellow Sand Formation only needs one last flag to be completed, and this small river valley is the final center of the formation.
If the river valley is not covered, creatures like iron-eating beasts or monks can follow the valley all the way into the mineral vein.
After the Wanli Yellow Sand Flag was inserted into the designated position, Lin Xiang cast a series of spells at the magic weapon to activate it.
The nine yellow sand flags, which were of the top grade magical instrument level, activated each other and intertwined with their energy. The entire Eagle's Beak Peak was enveloped by the spiritual power shield and then disappeared from sight.
He did not try to hide Eagle's Beak Peak, but left it as it was, simply preventing monsters and monks from entering.
The area covered by the formation is extremely close to the mountain, so even if the monks fly dozens of meters above it, they will not be able to notice it.
"Fortunately, part of this mineral vein is within my dojo, otherwise the spiritual energy problem would be very serious."
The original Wanli Yellow Sand Formation was supported by spiritual veins, but there are no spiritual veins here. It was all thanks to Lin Xiang who built a special spiritual energy channel in the Taoist temple to transmit the spiritual energy generated by the Universal Cave Heaven through a hidden underground channel here to support the operation of the formation.
The operation of any formation cannot be separated from spiritual energy. Either the most convenient spiritual veins are used, or spiritual stones are used.
Spirit stones are consumables and must be replaced immediately after use. In the interval between replacements, it is easy for others to take advantage of the opportunity to attack.
Many cultivators don’t actually have a deep understanding of formations, but they know the upper limit of formations and will consume the spiritual energy of formations bit by bit.
Even spiritual veins have an upper limit to the amount of spiritual energy they can produce.
Once the spiritual energy generated is less than the spiritual energy consumed by the formation, the formation will lose power and be broken.
The Wanli Yellow Sand Array will also face this threat. Once the spiritual energy provided by the Universe Cave Heaven is not enough to support the array, the entire array will become ineffective.
Fortunately, the Universe Cave Heaven is now equivalent to a mid-level spiritual vein, and it is expanding outward almost every day, which is enough to do better.
"Let's go home."
Lin Xiang patted the back of the iron-eating beast and sat on it.
Before he was forced into the game world, he had a wish to ride a panda to school, and now that he has entered the game, his wish has come true.
The iron-eating beast held the top-grade ore in its mouth, and crawled slowly on the ground with its strong limbs, twisting its body, looking extremely cute.
After Lin Xiang used his spiritual sense to give it a simple navigation, he took out the upgrade capsules. From the time it was upgraded to level 16 to now, there were a total of 5 upgrade capsules.
He wants to get a lucky five in a row!
"Even the Iron-eating Beast has been encountered, proving my luck is quite good today. It's a good time to open a treasure sachet. I hope I can find something good."
Lin Xiang placed the five upgrade sachets on his legs, took a deep breath, and opened them one by one.
[Space Ring], [Five-Colored Divine Mud (Fake)], [Ruyi Pearl], [Yuxiang Flute], [Dragon Strike]
The space ring is an ancient ring with a very large space inside, more than ten times larger than the ring he is using now!
"If only I had obtained this ring before, I could have dug up more ores from Mo Jiao's house and brought them back."
Lin Xiang immediately transferred his things into the new ring, and then hung the old space ring above the neck of the iron-eating beast, weaving and hiding it with its own mane.
"You've got a good deal. From now on, just store your ores and food in your space ring. You don't have to hold them in your mouth all the time."
The iron-eating beast was very intelligent. It even stopped moving forward, whimpered twice, and then put the top-quality ore in its mouth into the space ring. Then it stuffed all kinds of flowers and plants on the road, as well as ordinary stones and wood, into the ring.
