“You little thing, sleeping in my bed and taking my treasures, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson!”
He stared at the hamster, planning to find a suitable spot to strike.
Wu Yuan slowly raised his paw, gesturing towards the hamster.
Seeing this, the hamster was so scared that tears streamed down its face, and it quickly spat out another stone from its mouth.
Wu Yuan immediately stopped his paw upon seeing the stone, as if sensing something.
He grabbed the stone and examined it carefully.
The hamster, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief, its whole body relaxing.
“There’s such pure Spiritual Qi inside, could it be a Spirit Stone?!”
“This hamster has some tricks! I’ll spare its life.”
Wu Yuan watched the hamster wiggle its way down from the bed and quietly lie on the ground.
As if sensing Wu Yuan’s killing intent had vanished, the hamster raised its head and gave Wu Yuan a fawning smile.
“This little thing is quite clever!”
So Wu Yuan raised the Spirit Stone in his paw and asked the hamster, “Where did you get this thing, and do you have more?”
The hamster looked at the Spirit Stone dazedly, then continued to stare blankly at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan knew it wasn't very smart, but he didn't give up. He raised the Spirit Stone again, indicating he wanted more.
This time, the hamster finally understood. It scratched its head with its paw, and its small eyes fell into thought.
Soon, it squeaked at Wu Yuan, flailing its paws, a hint of fear flashing in its eyes.
“You mean the place where you found the stone is very dangerous, there are many huge animals that can breathe fire, and it’s also very far from here, you ran for a long time?”
The hamster nodded in agreement, a hint of shock in its eyes, as if surprised that Wu Yuan could communicate with it.
Wu Yuan also realized that he seemed to be able to communicate with the hamster.
“Could it be that after becoming a Spirit Monster, one can communicate with their own kind? I need to pay attention to this!”
At the same time, he temporarily put aside the idea of looking for Spirit Stones, because the causality pearl had not given any information!
“This place might be too dangerous for me; the causality pearl won’t give me information that leads to certain death!”
He planned to investigate this Spirit Stone production area after his Cultivation improved a bit.
Wu Yuan turned to look at the hamster that had scurried over, circling him and constantly sniffing him.
It seemed to have forgotten that it had almost died just now.
Wu Yuan ignored the hamster, nudged it aside with a paw, and turned to leave the cave.
The hamster, seeing Wu Yuan about to leave, quickly followed behind him out of the cave.
Wu Yuan glanced at it but didn't pay it any mind: “If it doesn’t run off on its own, I’ll just keep it as a pet.”
...
The hamster trembled at the sight of the Owl in front of it, then scurried behind Wu Yuan to hide.
The Owl’s corpse carried a hint of Demon Power aura, which was very obvious and scared the hamster.
At the same time, leaving it outside also didn’t attract mosquitoes or reckless wild beasts.
The hamster felt safe behind Wu Yuan, poked its head out, and looked at the Owl again, only to realize it was a dead bird.
Immediately, it strutted proudly to the Owl, plucked out a feather with its teeth, and showed off to Wu Yuan.
That little expression was as if to say: “Look how amazing I am!”
Wu Yuan also found it somewhat amusing, feeling much more relaxed: “No wonder people in my previous life liked keeping pets, it’s really interesting!”
Only then did he turn his attention to the Owl.
He planned to butcher the Owl and make it into dried meat for storage.
Drying could be done using Demon Power, which was very convenient and fast, and it could be preserved for longer.
The hamster watched Wu Yuan dissect the Owl, blood everywhere, and the nuts in its paw dropped to the ground in shock.
Wu Yuan looked back at the stunned hamster, thinking it also wanted to eat meat, so he offered it the half-eaten bird heart from his mouth.
“Little one, do you want to eat too?”
Wu Yuan looked at the hamster, still stunned, and thought he had scared it.
He suddenly wondered: “Is this hamster an omnivore? Can it eat meat?”
“I’ve never kept one of these before, I really don’t know!”
Then he thought, animals that can survive in the wild can find their own food and have their own survival strategies.
So he no longer bothered with the question.
Instead, he continued eating the food in his paw.
The bird meat, having cultivated Demon Power, had a tough texture, and the heart even more so.
Moreover, it was rich in Demon Power, very chewy, and very filling.
After eating, Wu Yuan could feel his Qi and blood increasing, which was beneficial for his Cultivation.
“Indeed, after becoming a Spirit Monster, one must eat these high-quality foods, otherwise, most of the day would be spent foraging!”
…
Wu Yuan used his paws to cut the leftover bird meat into strips. After drying them with Demon Power, they could be preserved for a longer time.
He also opened up a larger food storage room next to the existing storage room. After expanding and drying it with Demon Power, he laid down dry grass for food storage.
While he was doing all this, the hamster followed closely behind him.
Several times Wu Yuan was afraid he would accidentally step on it when backing up.
Then Wu Yuan lay down on his new bed. As for the old bed, Wu Yuan dismantled it and made a nest for the hamster, placing it beside his bed.
The hamster insisted on staying close to Wu Yuan; if he tried to move it a little further away, it would immediately stare at Wu Yuan with teary eyes.
Afterward, Wu Yuan began his first Cultivate after obtaining the Bloodline Awakening.
He circulated the Fox Immortal Qi Refining Method to absorb the moonlight from the sky, while simultaneously using the Gathering Spirit Art to gather Spiritual Qi.
Silver and white light spots began to gather around him.
The ability to gather moonlight was twice as strong as before!
Upon seeing the light spots, the hamster’s eyes instantly widened. It could feel that this was greatly beneficial to it and wanted to get closer to Wu Yuan.
However, it didn't dare to get on Wu Yuan's bed and anxiously scurried around nearby.
Because Wu Yuan had just warned the hamster not to get on the bed and not to relieve itself anywhere, to maintain hygiene.
So it could only drag its small nest tightly against Wu Yuan's bed,
Found a comfortable position to lie down and absorb Wu Yuan's Spiritual Qi.
Wu Yuan didn’t mind. The hamster wouldn't actively absorb moonlight and Spiritual Qi now; it could only be passively nourished.
Wu Yuan was immersed in the pleasure of moonlight and Spiritual Qi constantly transforming into Demon Power.
The next day, as the moon set, Wu Yuan quickly stopped absorbing moonlight to avoid inhaling sun essence into his body.
He had once accidentally over-Cultivated and absorbed a trace of sun essence, immediately feeling as if flames were burning his body, experiencing unbearable pain.
Fortunately, he absorbed very little and recovered with Demon Power, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Wu Yuan experienced the changes in his Demon Power: “Today’s Cultivate time is almost enough, it’s twice as much as before, and the speed of Demon Power Cultivate has increased a lot!”
“This way, I can increase one wisp of Demon Power in three months. I still need eighty-nine more wisps of Demon Power to complete the ninety-nine wisps of Demon Power in the Qi Refining Early Stage!”
“Although the more Demon Power one has, the slower the Cultivate becomes later on.”
“But the future is promising!”
Seeing Wu Yuan’s excited look, the hamster also danced with joy.
Wu Yuan chuckled.
He grabbed the hamster’s fleshy face: “Since you plan to stay, I’ll give you a name.”
“Looking at your yellow fur, from now on you’ll be called Xiao Huang!”
Looking at Xiao Huang’s confused eyes, Wu Yuan repeated it a few times before the hamster finally understood that its name was Xiao Huang.
Although it didn’t know what Xiao Huang meant, whatever the boss said, it was!
