Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

Mingxi temporarily put the gold ingot back into her pet space and followed after them, carrying Xiaoyinhua.

The crevice was indeed very narrow, and Mingxi walked very carefully and slowly to avoid touching the rock wall with other parts of her body.

The Ice Soul Fox leading the way would stop from time to time to wait for her.

It is quiet and never rushes you.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally emerged from the crevice before it became completely dark.

A clear stream flows gently into the distance.

The terrain here is flat and spacious, with mountains on two sides and water on one side, making it a great place for camping.

Mingxi summoned the gold ingot back into existence.

Then, he cautiously reached out and touched the mountain wall, and nothing unexpected happened.

It seems they've really left the canyon.

Mingxi once again expressed her sincere gratitude to the Ice Soul Fox and gave it two Courage Fruits.

The courage-boosting fruit may be bitter, but for novice pets, it's practically like having an extra life.

She thought it would like it.

Ice Soul Fox looked at the thing that the human girl had pushed to her feet.

It knew this was an energy fruit; the mother beast's good friend had given one to each of its brothers, except for it.

That day, it was beaten black and blue by its brothers who had eaten the energy fruit, worse than any other day, so badly that it thought it was going to die.

Although it eventually pulled through, the memory of that day remains vivid.

The energy fruit is amazing.

I never expected this human would give me two.

Are all humans as generous as she is?

If so, then forming a bond with humans would actually be quite nice, wouldn't it?

The Ice Soul Fox remained silent, but picked up the two courage-enhancing fruits, nodded slightly to Mingxi, and then turned and walked back into the crevice.

He's a cool and aloof little guy.

Nightfall was tinged with frost.

Since this place was suitable for camping and there were no signs of powerful supernatural creatures around, Mingxi didn't bother looking for another place and simply pitched her tent in a sheltered spot near the mountain.

The night in the unknown realm was eerie, yet surprisingly peaceful.

The secret realm still shows no sign of closing.

Mingxi suppressed her anxiety and worry.

The next day, the sun rose as usual, and Mingxi began a new day of exploration.

I almost got myself into trouble yesterday because I went a little too far.

They decided to take a more conservative approach, digging for herbs and energy crystals near the campsite.

At midday, when the sun was at its strongest, a sudden gust of wind arose, and dark clouds loomed overhead.

The clear sky turned pitch black in an instant.

Between the heavens and the earth, lightning seemed to be constantly splitting.

It's going to change.

Mingxi didn't dare to delay and rushed back to the campsite from the previous night.

Right now, she couldn't find a better place to shelter from the rain than that crevice in the rocks.

Mingxi curled up and hid in the crevice between the rocks, while Jin Yuanbao and Xiao Yinhua took up her shoulders on either side.

Although the space was cramped, it was enough to accommodate them.

Moreover, there is a relatively high section here, so rainwater should not be able to get in.

From afar, you could see a small white dot slowly growing larger amidst the dark clouds.

Then it turned from white dots into a large white cloth, and finally into a Boeing 747...

A huge shadow covered this area.

Mingxi quietly minimized her presence.

She guessed correctly; there were indeed flying-type extraordinary creatures living on this high mountain. Judging from its size as it flew by, one could believe it was an Emperor-level creature.

Fortunately, I trusted the Ice Soul Fox yesterday and followed the hidden path it had discovered.

If she had been even slightly more suspicious and had rejected Little Ice Soul Fox's kindness, choosing instead to break through from the air, she would probably be dead by now.

Amitabha Buddha, good people are rewarded.

"thunder!"

Jin Yuanbao suddenly let out two low cries, turned his body around, and looked into the depths of the crevice.

Mingxi realized something was approaching from behind.

She shifted her position with difficulty, leaning against the mountain wall, just in time to see a familiar figure come into view.

It's that Ice Soul Fox from yesterday.

Jin Yuanbao's tense body relaxed.

Mingxi waved to the little guy, "It's you, little guy."

"How did you get hurt again?"

The Ice Soul Fox had many wounds on its body, not only caused by thorns, but also many wounds that were clearly from its own kind.

It's due to skill.

Looking at the Ice Soul Fox in front of her, Mingxi clearly realized just how difficult the situation was for wild superhuman creatures with genetic mutations.

"Little silver flower, sacred and healing."

Little Silver Flower was somewhat reluctant.

What it was thinking was, "That annoying ugly cat is trying to play the victim in front of its sister again. It's so cunning!"

But the beast tamer's orders cannot be disobeyed.

It pouted its little mouth and performed a divine healing.

Ice Soul Tanuki felt that the pain in her body had completely disappeared, and she sighed inwardly at how powerful that beautiful but extremely fierce Angemon was.

If only it had that skill, then we wouldn't have to worry about it dying one day.

This world may be terrible, but it still wants to live well.

"Ice Soul".

Jin Yuanbao promptly translated: "Lei Lei." It said thank you.

Little Silver Flower turned its face away; it didn't need the scheming beast's thanks.

"Ice Soul".

The Ice Soul Fox seemed oblivious to Little Silver Flower's attitude and called out again.

Its sound is really nice.

Like the clear, solitary spring water atop a snow-capped peak, it gives those who hear it a feeling of having their souls cleansed.

Jin Yuanbao: "Lei Lei."

It said this was a return gift for the courage-boosting fruit from yesterday.

Mingxi was surprised for a second; this Ice Soul Fox had actually come specifically to find them.

How did it know they were still here?

However, Mingxi couldn't ask the question. When she looked down and saw the thing that the Ice Soul Fox had pushed to her feet, all her doubts vanished like clouds in the sky.

It was a black flower with gold patterns, shaped somewhat like a tulip.

The moment Mingxi saw the flower clearly, her pupils dilated in shock.

"Ghost Thunder Flower!"

There's a saying that excitement can cause sudden death.

Mingxi experienced it firsthand.

Overwhelmed with excitement, she forgot where she was and suddenly stood up, her head hitting the mountain wall.

With a loud "bang," it was exceptionally clear.

Mingxi: "..."

Would you call this a bittersweet experience?

Mingxi was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes, and she wondered if her head had been shattered.

Fortunately, she had Little Silver Flower, which was not stingy with its Beast Tamer. Without Mingxi's command, it cast a Divine Healing spell on the back of Mingxi's head.

Decisive and efficient.

After the treatment, she even reached out her little paw and gently rubbed it, saying, "Lolo."

Sister, don't cry, the pain has flown away.

Mingxi was both amused and exasperated.

My mood has calmed down.

She squatted down again, picked up the eerie yet alluring black flower at her feet, examined it carefully several times, and was now certain that the flower in her hand was indeed the Ghost Thunder Flower.

The items needed to evolve the Gold Ingot.

An extremely rare material with a starting bid of 500 million Star Coins.

Oni Raihana!

Moreover, judging from the leaves' blackness, which resembles amber, and the delicate and beautiful gold veins on them, this is a Ghost Thunder Flower of extremely high quality!
