Chapter 28 Unknown Creature’s Sudden Appearance!
As soon as he entered the C-rank area, he could successfully hunt a level 30 silver-level beast, greatly boosting Bell’s morale. Even the cute Wangcai, who was jumping around, seemed to have sensed Bell’s thoughts and was also searching for traces of the beast as it walked.
The C-rank area was filled with mountains. This place was formed by many mountain ranges.
When Bell advanced deeper into the valley in front of him, it meant that he had completely entered the mountain range. As the terrain changed, the exotic beasts he could encounter would also change.
If the gathering place built by beast tamers in the secret realm was a safe haven for humans, then the mountains and ravines had undoubtedly become a paradise for rock-attributed exotic beasts.
At this moment, there were abundant precious mineral deposits. The reason why they were not taken by the Black Moon Mineral Alliance was mainly because rock-attributed exotic beasts were mostly social creatures.
Bell was lucky to have met the Black Brocade Mongoose that was acting alone.
Unlike other exotic beasts, black mongooses almost never came in groups.
To beast tamers, getting lost in the secret realm was not the most terrifying thing.
When one encountered a group of exotic beasts, or even a wave of exotic beasts formed by many exotic beasts, that was really something to be afraid of.
It was impossible for even an extremely experienced crusade team to survive in such a situation.
Not long after Bell walked out, a dark swamp appeared in front of him.
The surrounding soil was very soft, and bubbles would come out from the swamp from time to time. The stench assaulted their faces. Even if they were not swallowed by the swamp, if they stayed here for long enough, they might be poisoned by the endless swamp gas.
Bell looked at the swamp warily and carefully observed his surroundings.
Based on past experience, when the surrounding terrain suddenly changed, one would often think that there were extremely powerful exotic beasts around, and their characteristics affected the surrounding environment.
As Bell had expected, it was not calm under the swamp mud. It was as if some creature was constantly squirming, causing water ripples to appear on the surface of the swamp.
Bell roughly measured the size of the swamp in front of him. If nothing went wrong, there must be some huge exotic beast hidden under the swamp mud.
To be able to directly change the surrounding terrain from hard rocks to soft swamps, its strength was needless to say. Only exotic beasts above level 40 could do it.
Bell definitely could not afford to provoke the other party. Perhaps the concealment talisman had worked at this moment, making the other party think that he was just a harmless piece of trash and could not be bothered to attack Bell.
At this moment, Wangcai also sensed danger and kept warning Bell.
Bell only glanced at it and had the intention to leave. If he alarmed the other party and suffered an undeserved calamity, it would be bad.
Just as Bell turned to leave, a small blue figure suddenly rushed out of the surrounding mountains and plunged into the swamp.
“What the f*ck?! What’s this?”
Just as Bell was confused, the dark blue figure was waving its forelimbs and moving forward, aiming for a round black stone embedded in the middle of the swamp.
[Ding! The system has detected an unknown exotic beast. Its data has been recorded in the system’s exotic beast file!]
Type: Treasure Sniffing Rodent (Rock Attribute)
Level: Level 30 Bloodline Talent: Bronze Level 5 “The Treasure Sniffing Rodent, which has always fed on precious ores, has an extremely strong perception of mineral veins…”
After looking at the name of the exotic beast, Bell recalled the information about this exotic beast in his mind. Then, another question appeared in his mind.
“However, what exactly is that thing that can actually make the Treasure Sniffing Rodent, who has always been known for being timid and cautious, risk its life to snatch it…” The Treasure Sniffing Rodent was not big, but its movement speed was extremely fast. Its strong front limbs not only gave it sprinting speed, but it could also dig holes to obtain mineral veins and crystals hidden underground.
Bell stood calmly. Since this little guy was willing to die for a stutter, the big guy in the swamp would probably not ignore the commotion caused by the Treasure Sniffing Rodent.
He could ask the little guy to scout the way for him so that the system could show him the information of that big guy.
The Treasure Sniffing Rodent alone did not have any offensive power, and the highest bloodline talent of this species was only at the ninth level of the Bronze level. However, they were social beasts, and they appeared in groups on both sides.
Unless, for example, these little fellows would be attracted by high-quality ores and directly abandon their race to eat alone.
According to the description in the exotic Beast Encyclopedia, the Treasure Sniffing Rodent could increase its bloodline level by eating high-quality ores, or it could directly awaken its bloodline and become the king of the entire race.
However, the harmless Treasure Sniffing Rodent was classified as a harmful creature to humans.
The main reason was that the Treasure Sniffing Rodent ate the mineral vein extremely quickly. Coupled with the fact that the entire tribe was moving together, it would only take a few hours for them to eat a complete mining area.
It was the number one enemy of the Black Moon Mineral Association!
Not long after, the Treasure Sniffing Rodent waved its front limbs like a dog digging water and arrived in the middle of the swamp. Only then did Bell understand that the Treasure Sniffing Rodent’s target was an extremely black stone lying in the swamp.
If one did not observe carefully, it would be difficult to distinguish the difference between black stone and swamp sludge.
[Ding! The system has detected precious resources. They have been synchronized with the system index value!]
Item: Secret Realm Ink Stone (No attributes) (Forging Materials)
[Rating]: Gold Rank-3 [Effect]: The secret realm ink stone can store elemental magic very well. It is a necessary material to forge elemental demonic equipment and is extremely rare. Bell understood. No wonder this Treasure Sniffing Rodent was working so hard. The best material to increase its bloodline was close at hand. As long as it swallowed the secret realm ink stone, it would directly break through the shackles and achieve a class transition, becoming the king of the race! However, although his thoughts were beautiful, the current world was cruel.
“Roar, roar, roar!”
At this moment, a roar filled with anger sounded.
The mud in the center of the swamp suddenly exploded, revealing a huge vortex.
The roars shook Bell’s eardrums.
The next moment.
Eight huge black shadows appeared in the swamp vortex. One of them, which looked like a tentacle, suddenly attacked the panicked Treasure Sniffing Rodent.
The Treasure Sniffing Rodent panicked. Its small pupils suddenly dilated as it watched the huge black shadow attack it. When it wanted to escape with the agility it was proud of, it was too late. Around it were all swamps.
