Chapter 567: Chapter 587: This Little Guy Has a High IQ, Huh? _1

"Splash!"

The sound of water echoed.

Lin Chen didn’t open his eyes; he had already grown accustomed to the sound of Little Guy catching prey in the water every day.

Lin Chen had tested it out when he was resting and found that the pond in front of him was much deeper than he had imagined, and there must be plenty of fish in it. He had personally seen the little guy catch a fish three or four feet long in the water and then swiftly disappear into the tall weeds.

Zhou Yin described the little guy as an otter, but after seeing it, Lin Chen thought it looked more like a mink, although there was originally little difference in appearance between the two.

"Splash!"

"Splash!"

The sound of water splashing could be heard from time to time. Lin Chen opened his eyes, picked up his flashlight, and shone it on the water’s surface.

Normally, there was the sound of water when the little guy caught its prey, but it was usually just one or two splashes. Today, however, the sound of the water seemed more intense, as if the little guy was fighting with a creature in the water.

Water churned, and the little guy’s figure appeared on the surface from time to time before diving back down.

A good while later, the water settled down, and the little guy swam to the surface. Its movements were noticeably slower than usual. Lin Chen shone his flashlight on it and noticed that the little guy’s body was drenched in blood.

Injured?

Lin Chen was stunned. Were there any ferocious fish at the bottom of the pond?

The little guy climbed onto the shore but seemed to have no strength left and lay down motionless.

It looked like it was severely injured!

A thought suddenly crossed Lin Chen’s mind. He reached into his backpack and took out the Shengling Pearl.

Chu Jiaxue told himself that one of the main functions of this Shengling Pearl was healing with the help of spiritual energy. Since this place was rich in spiritual energy, he could try it out and see if the Pearl has any other functions.

Lin Chen got up and walked towards the little guy.

As he approached, the little guy, who had been still, suddenly raised its head, its eyes wary as it stared at Lin Chen, its body shifting as if trying to escape.

Lin Chen halted, and the little guy stopped as well, continuing to stare at Lin Chen.

It appeared to be quite injured. Otherwise, it would have slipped into the cave at the first sign of danger. It seemed that as long as Lin Chen continued to approach, the little guy would try to flee.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and took out the Shengling Pearl, gently infusing it with spiritual energy.

The rich vitality immediately poured out of the Shengling Pearl and spread out around it. Perhaps due to the abundant spiritual energy here, the breath of the Shengling Pearl this time was many times stronger than when he experimented in the hotel.

Green light enveloped the little guy, who then looked up and felt the energy. Its eyes instantly filled with astonishment, and the wariness in them faded.

Lin Chen slowly approached, and although the precaution in the little guy’s eyes increased again, it couldn’t bear to leave. Perhaps sensing that Lin Chen had no ill intentions, it hesitated for a long time before finally opting to stay.

Lin Chen successfully reached the little guy’s side, who then showed a comfortable expression in its eyes and instinctively tried to get closer to the Shengling Pearl.

Lin Chen shone his flashlight at it and confirmed that the little guy was indeed a mink, but he could not determine its species. It had several wounds on its body, blood-soaked, and the most severe one was a large patch of blood and flesh mangled on its neck.

Lin Chen brought the Shengling Pearl closer and pressed it against the injured area.

An abundance of spiritual energy transformed into a rich vitality that instantly flowed into the little guy’s injury. The bleeding stopped visibly, and the outwardly-turned flesh of the wound began to close up. Not only at the neck but also at other wounds on its body, they started closing up, healing slowly, and then scarring over.

Lin Chen was astonished. It was incredible!

Just a few minutes passed, and the wound had completely healed!

This Shengling Pearl was simply a divine treasure!

No wonder it was called the Treasure of the Cang Mountain Cave!

After the wound had completely healed, Lin Chen withdrew the Shengling Pearl. The little guy turned over, stood up, shook itself, licked its wound, looked at Lin Chen with surprise in its eyes, and showed gratitude and closeness.

It seemed to have a high IQ for a little guy.

Generally speaking, a mink’s IQ is roughly that of a two-year-old child, but from this little guy’s gaze, Lin Chen believed its intelligence to be much higher.

The little guy drew nearer, rubbing its head against Lin Chen’s leg. It then turned around and darted into the bushes, heading towards its cave.

Lin Chen smiled, turned around, and came back. He then stored the Shengling Pearl in his Spatial Ring.

Zhou Yin watched this scene from a distance, her eyes filled with awe as she looked at Lin Chen, the admiration in her gaze growing even stronger.

How miraculous!

Lin Chen casually explained, "It’s a little trinket my wife gave me. It helps with healing wounds. She’s now a cultivator in the Unknown Land."

Zhou Yin was stunned and suddenly understood that Lin Chen’s wife was already a cultivator, which was why her healing method was so magical!

Zhou Yin couldn’t help feeling a bit inferior.

Lin Chen was so extraordinary that ordinary women couldn’t match up to him.

Lin Chen’s wife was already a cultivator, so Lin Chen would inevitably become one sooner or later.

She needed to work hard as well!
