The little spirit beast blinked its big, watery eyes and stared intently at Nangong Tianci. Seeing that he was standing still, it barked softly a few more times.
Then, it flew to his feet, wagging its tail, which was two or three times longer than its small body.
This left Nangong Tianci even more bewildered.
This was the first time he had ever heard of an animal that could fly with its tail.
At the same time, the confusion in my heart deepened.
His mind was filled with questions: "Why is this little guy following me? I'm not a cultivator from the Spirit Beast Sect, and in all these years, no furry creature has ever come near me..."
Nangong Tianci couldn't help but glance down at the little guy who was obediently squatting at his feet a few more times.
The other child was also tilting its little head and staring at him, its long ears standing up on its little head, looking extremely innocent.
Nangong Tianci thought to himself, "This little one is quite cute."
Nangong Tianci coughed lightly and said softly to the little guy at his feet, "Little guy, since you look like a mouse and have big rabbit ears, let's call you Ear Mouse, how about that?"
The little mouse nodded its head and barked happily a few times: "Woof woof woof."
Nangong Tianci: "Little Ear Mouse, is there something you need from me? Are you hungry? Or is there anything I can help you with?"
The little mouse on the ground twitched its long ears and barked a few times, its voice full of joy.
Then she looked up timidly at Nangong Tianci, moved her little feet, and moved closer to Nangong Tianci's feet.
He wrapped his little body around his big tail, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Nangong Tianci: "..."
What Nangong Tianci didn't know was that the name he casually gave the little guy had inadvertently revealed the little guy's race.
The ear-mouse is a mythical creature that is both beast and bird, and can ward off all poisons.
They typically look like mice, but have rabbit ears and a deer body, and make a sound like a dog howling.
Their tails are very long, with a wide, hairy membrane connecting the ends, allowing them to fly in the sky.
Because they can fly, they are also known as flying-eared mice.
These spirit beasts, such as the ear-mouse, like to live in caves filled with spirit herbs and enjoy eating spirit herbs and fruits.
They have a magical ability: their blood can cure all poisons.
When Nangong Tianci arrived at Qingling Plain, Yu Letian, Ji Minghui, and Nangong Lingyu had already arrived as well.
Moreover, all three of them have increased their cultivation level by one level.
Nangong Tianci's gaze swept around and he saw Tang Shuhua with a treasure-hunting rat perched on her shoulder. His eyes lit up immediately.
He flew to her side and said gently and politely, "Are you Fellow Daoist Tang Shuhua from the Spirit Beast Sect?"
Tang Shuhua recognized the newcomer at a glance and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, you are Nangong Tianci, the young master of the Dancao Sect, who is known as the number one alchemist?"
Nangong Tianci nodded, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "It's all too kind of you. I still have a long way to go in the art of alchemy."
Nangong Tianci handed the ear-mouse in his arms to Tang Shuhua and asked, "Fellow Daoist Tang, do you know what kind of spirit beast this is?"
Tang Shuhua stared at the little creature in front of him with a rat's face, rabbit ears, and a deer's body, racking his brains and carefully recalling the list of ten thousand beasts he had read in the sect, but he couldn't find a single piece of information about the spirit beast in front of him.
Tang Shuhua said with some distress, "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Nangong, I don't know him."
Nangong Tianci smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's alright."
Tang Shuhua paused, then added, "There is no record of this kind of spirit beast in our sect's Register of Myriad Beasts."
After saying that, he couldn't help but stare at the little eared mouse a few more times out of curiosity.
