Chapter 473: Chapter 487: Leng Qianqiu (A Character from the Readers)

The Gold Devouring Rat is a type of rodent Fierce Beast, with its most notable feature being its swift speed.

Speed so fast that when a Cultivator encounters a Gold Devouring Rat, they have no choice but to defend passively, with no way to actually strike the creature.

Furthermore, the Gold Devouring Rat consumes various types of ores, and its body is incredibly tough; ordinary weapons can’t even scratch its hide.

Yet, nearly every part of the Gold Devouring Rat is a treasure; its sturdy fur makes for the best material to create personal soft armor.

Attacks from those below the Spirit Transformation Realm could essentially be completely immune.

Even the bones within the Gold Devouring Rat, if a small piece is added during the Forging Weapons process, can imbue weapons with resilience, making them less likely to snap.

Even the blood and flesh of the Gold Devouring Rat can be used as Alchemy ingredients, to refine the Elixirs needed by those who cultivate metal-attribute Cultivation Techniques.

The entire creature is a treasure, but exceedingly difficult to hunt.

Unexpectedly here, it was so easily obtained by Mu Can.

This Gold Devouring Rat, according to its size, should have the strength of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but for some reason, it was devoured by the Dragon Swallowing Python during their battle.

The wounds on the Dragon Swallowing Python’s body should have been left by this Gold Devouring Rat, but in the end, Mu Can profited from their struggle for nothing.

This single Gold Devouring Rat could be exchanged for eight hundred mission points, but Mu Can had no desire to turn it in for the task.

Rather than exchanging for mission points, it seemed more appropriate for him to use it himself.

"Woof! Look here, this Gold Devouring Rat has wounds on its body." Wang Cai moved in closer to observe the rat, which emanated a metallic luster all over.

Mu Can followed and discovered a wound as thick as an arm on the back of the Gold Devouring Rat.

As if it had been injured by some sharp instrument, one could see the golden bones inside the Gold Devouring Rat through the wound.

"No wonder this Dragon Swallowing Python could eat the Gold Devouring Rat; it turns out the Gold Devouring Rat was already injured before."

Mu Can nodded, earlier he had been puzzled and bewildered; under similar strengths, a Gold Devouring Rat could almost be called undefeated among its peers, yet it unexpectedly lost to the Dragon Swallowing Python, which was quite strange.

But if it was an injured Gold Devouring Rat, everything could be perfectly explained.

"Not good, if someone injured the Gold Devouring Rat, they certainly wouldn’t abandon their prey and would continue tracking it slowly. Moreover, anyone able to injure a Gold Devouring Rat must certainly be above the Spirit Transformation Realm, and it’s very likely they’ve already stepped into the Flying Spirit Realm."

A problem suddenly occurred to Mu Can; if it were him, would he continue tracking after seriously injuring a Gold Devouring Rat?

The answer was definite, which meant there was a possibility that someone outside was currently tracking this very Gold Devouring Rat.

"Woof! Don’t worry, it shouldn’t be that simple. After being injured, the Gold Devouring Rat will burst forth with astonishing potential, and even average experts would not be able to catch up to its speed." Wang Cai examined the Gold Devouring Rat’s claws and found that the tips were severely worn, likely due to wear during its flight.

This also indirectly demonstrated just how fast the Gold Devouring Rat could be.

"Get this place sorted out. You guys can eat this snake meat if you want."

Mu Can gave his orders; naturally, in the New World, there were those capable of doing this task for him.

What he needed to do now was to head out quickly, to leave this place as fast as possible.

After appearing outside, Mu Can, along with Wang Cai, quickly departed from their previous location.

Not long after the two had left the battlefield, about the duration of one incense stick’s burning time later.

Three figures appeared in that place.

"Young Master, it appears a battle has taken place here. The scent of the Gold Devouring Rat ends here."

A white-haired elder respectfully spoke to a young man.

"Dare to steal from me, Leng Qianqiu? Mo Gui, see if there is any trace of the living here?"

The young man’s face was all smiles, while another person known as Mo Gui shivered from the cold.

The means of the young master, even for him who is known as the bloodthirsty Mo Gui, are somewhat unbearable.

Without any visible action from Mo Gui, transparent soul specters began to appear beside him, slowly revolving around him.

"Go!" With a point towards the area where the battle took place, the soul specters flew over as if following some command, slowly circling in the air.

A moment later, these soul specters gradually dissipated in the air, transforming into two figures—it was none other than Mu Can and Wang Cai, who had transformed into a black cat.

They couldn’t have imagined that even after they had left, someone could still use such a method to restore their appearance.

"Are these the two? Very bold." Leng Qianqiu looked at the two figures with great interest.

A breeze blew by, and the images scattered into the air, and the soul specters completely disappeared.

This method is a thorough Demon Path style.

"Zhi Zui, where have we come to?" Leng Qianqiu looked at the white-haired elder and asked.

"Replying to the young master, this is the Great Tianze, governed by a small city under the Canglang Empire,"

said the white-haired elder respectfully, his gaze towards the young master still carrying a tint of fear.

"Canglang Sect’s territory, heh, it seems this young man is a disciple of the Canglang Sect."

Leng Qianqiu considered it: those who dared to snatch items from his hands, even in the Supreme Interface, were few.

After all, not everyone has a dad in the All Things Realm.

The children of more powerful cultivators tend to have higher potential, but correspondingly, the difficulty they face in bringing life into being is hundreds, even tens of thousands of times that of normal cultivators.

Leng Qianqiu’s father, Emperor Leng, had only such a son, who grew up pampered with love.

These two servants were brought in by Emperor Leng to protect Leng Qianqiu, both vicious men drenched in blood were as docile as kittens in front of Leng Qianqiu.

"Can you track them?" Leng Qianqiu asked.

"Unable to track, a secret technique has masked their aura, the trail ends here," replied Mo Gui after trying.

Mu Can and Wang Cai had entered the Reincarnation Pearl, which naturally masked their aura, also providing a side protection for the two of them.

"Fine, we’ll head straight back to the city, trap him there; I would like to treat him well,"

A cold smile appeared on Leng Qianqiu’s face, and upon seeing his smile, both Zhi Zui and Mo Gui shivered.

Those who have offended the young master would know that death is a fortunate matter.

The two of them witnessed with their own eyes Leng Qianqiu feeding an enemy a Spirit Pill and then throwing him into a Fiery Fire Ant nest.

Inside that nest, the cultivator screamed in agony for a full three days without being able to die.

The entire body was constantly burned by flames, gnawed by Fiery Fire Ants, but it kept regenerating due to the Spirit Pill.

Unable to live, unable to die, and that person was merely for having glanced one too many times at Leng Qianqiu.

And the man just now had forcibly taken Leng Qianqiu’s prey from his hands.

One really doesn’t know what methods Leng Qianqiu would use to torment this young man.
