Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 18 Taming the Demon Centipede!
Looking at these magical herbs Polygonatum sibiricum, Gu Yuan's eyes were somewhat fiery.

Immediately, he jumped off the stone and started digging a hole not far away using a hatchet as a shovel.

After digging for half an hour, a pit half a person's depth appeared on the spot. Even though Gu Yuan was in good physical condition, his arms were a little sore from exhaustion.

The truth is that the soil on this mountain is mixed with rocks and tree roots, and the soil is frozen hard as iron, making it too difficult to dig.

After resting for a while, Gu Yuan began to set the trap.

First, they moved a large stone and propped up the entrance of the deep pit with a branch. They tied a thin rope to the branch and pulled it behind a big tree about ten meters away.

Gu Yuan tried it and confirmed that when he pulled the rope, the stone would fall and hit the pit. Then he nodded with relief.

Then, Gu Yuan opened the bamboo basket and took out a rooster with bright feathers and a bright red comb.

A line of small purple characters appeared in front of Gu Yuan:
[You have caught a white rooster. Do you want to tame it?]

"no!"

Gu Yuan refused directly.

Although he also planned to tame another pet, he did not plan to tame a big rooster as his second pet.

Besides, he needed this rooster right now!
That's right, ever since he obtained the Iron-Tooth Rat's gift of "Iron Teeth", his body has undergone a complete transformation, and Gu Yuan discovered that he could continue to tame his spirit pets again.

This also made Gu Yuan suspect that the number of tamed spirit pets might be related to his personal physical fitness.

The stronger his physique and the higher his spirit, the more spiritual pets he might be able to tame!

After all, when he was taming the mountain rat before, his spiritual power condensed into a mysterious talisman, which was imprinted on its forehead, and only then was he able to tame it successfully.

Therefore, the key to taming a spirit pet may lie in the strength of his spiritual power!

At this time, Gu Yuan had tied up the rooster's wings and claws, and even his beak was wrapped tightly with cloth to prevent it from making any noise and alarming the evil centipede.

Then, Gu Yuan used a hatchet to cut open the chicken's neck.

As the blood flowed out, the rooster seemed to sense the coming of death and began to struggle violently.

Gu Yuan quickly threw it into the pit, then hid behind the bushes, holding the thin rope in his hand, quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait.

As for the Iron-Toothed Rat Ah Huang, in order to avoid any accidents, Gu Yuan had ordered Ah Huang to hide early. Once he encountered trouble, Ah Huang would immediately support him!
As the rooster struggled violently and the smell of blood began to spread, Gu Yuan soon noticed that there was some movement in the grass at the roots of the magical herb Polygonatum.

The evil centipede was startled!

Seeing this, Gu Yuan held his breath and tried to lower his voice and presence as much as possible.

Soon, a two-foot-long iron-blue centipede crawled out from under a corpse.

Its palatal teeth are as sharp as knives, with a faint blue color, its shell is hard, with a shiny metallic luster, and the two rows of sharp feet under its body are like sharp iron hooks, flashing a cold light, leaving traces on the hard stone ground!

This evil centipede also emitted wisps of gray mist, which seemed to be extremely poisonous. Wherever it passed, the weeds were corroded and turned yellow and black, making a sizzling sound.

"What a terrible poison!"

Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed as he thought silently, "This kind of poison, even if a martial artist were to come into contact with even a tiny bit of it, they would surely be poisoned to death, right?"

Next, under Gu Yuan's gaze, the centipede first raised half of its body, and then its two tentacles shook, as if it was sensing and identifying the smell.

Then, it slowly crawled towards the trap set by Gu Yuan.

Soon, it reached the edge of the pit, only glanced down, and then climbed in without hesitation. "That's when!"

At this moment, Gu Yuan had an idea and quickly pulled the rope.

Bang!
As the branches supporting the stone were pulled away, the big stone fell down, splashing some dust.

Gu Yuan took out a piece of wet cloth, tied it around his mouth and nose, and then ran to the pit.

The stone he found weighed more than 100 kilograms. Although this evil centipede was not an ordinary species, it was only two feet long and as thick as a child's arm. After being hit by it, it was difficult for it to break free for a while.

The stone fell into the sunken pit and fit into it somewhat, which made it more difficult for it to break free.

However, even so, as its two rows of sharp legs continued to struggle, a lot of soil was dug and scattered everywhere, and the stone began to shake, which shows how strong its struggle was.

Even the wisps of gray mist emanating from the demon centipede became thicker, corroding the stone that was pressing on it and leaving traces of it.

Gu Yuan did not rush to act, as if he was waiting for something.

After more than ten breaths, seeing that the spirit pet system still hadn't notified him that the centipede had been captured, Gu Yuan felt somewhat disappointed. "Could it be that because this centipede could break free from the trap at any time, it can't be considered a successful capture?"

"That"

Gu Yuan pulled out a hatchet from behind his back, his eyes gleaming: "What if I beat him half to death?!"

That’s right, Gu Yuan was planning to tame this evil centipede!

This demon centipede was unusual. Gu Yuan guessed that it was either a blue elite-level spiritual pet or a red excellent-level spiritual pet!
And according to his speculation, it is most likely the latter!
If it can be tamed, it will definitely be a great helper!
Gu Yuan raised the hatchet and took the opportunity to smash it down hard.

Bang!
With a dull sound, Gu Yuan hit the centipede's head.

The wrought iron hatchet collided with its shell, and a faint sound of metal was heard. Even Gu Yuan felt that the palm holding the hatchet was numb from the recoil force, which shows how hard the shell of this demon centipede is!

The centipede paused, and a few tiny cracks appeared on the shell of its head. It struggled more violently, and its tail swung back and forth.

However, Gu Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this:
"It really works?! Well then, I'll give you a physical taming today!"

After saying that, he swung down another knife.

Bang!
The body of the demon centipede trembled, and the momentum was obviously weaker.

Suddenly, a thick gray mist emerged from its body, gathered together, and turned into an arrow, shooting towards Gu Yuan.

"witchcraft?!"

Gu Yuan's scalp went numb, and without thinking too much, he rolled on the ground and barely dodged the arrow.

However, the hatchet in his hand was touched by the gray arrow, and a small part of the tip of the knife made a sizzling sound and was corroded by a little gray gas into gray molten iron, which dripped onto the ground.

Even the ground was corroded by the gray molten iron, leaving small pits!

A big tree behind him was hit by an arrow, and a hole as big as a bowl was blown out of it.

sizzle-

As the gray gas spread and corroded, the tree, which was as thick as a waist, broke in the middle and fell to the ground.

　Hey guys, I'm new here asking for votes.
