Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Looking at these few Polygonatum sibiricum medicinal herbs, Gu Yuan's eyes were somewhat fiery.

Immediately, he jumped off the rock and, not far away, began digging a pit with his hatchet as a shovel.

He grunted and puffed, digging for a good half an hour, creating a pit half a person deep. Even with Gu Yuan's good physical strength, his arms were aching from the effort.

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

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

First, he moved a large stone and propped it up at the mouth of the pit with a tree branch. He tied a thin rope to the branch and ran it to behind a large tree a dozen meters away.

Gu Yuan tried it out, making sure that pulling the rope would cause the stone to fall and smash into the pit, before nodding in satisfaction.

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

A line of small purple characters appeared before Gu Yuan's eyes:

【You have captured a rooster (white). Do you want to tame it?】

“No!”

Gu Yuan refused directly.

Although he also planned to tame another spirit pet, he had no intention of taming a rooster as his second spirit pet.

Besides, he needed this rooster right now!

That's right, since he had previously obtained the Iron-Toothed Rat's talent, "Iron Teeth", and his body had undergone a transformation, Gu Yuan discovered that he could continue to tame spirit pets.

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

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

After all, when he tamed the field mouse before, his mental power condensed into a mysterious talisman and imprinted itself on its brow, which led to a successful taming.

Therefore, the key to taming spirit pets might lie in the strength of his mental power!

At this time, the rooster's wings and claws were tied, and even its beak was tightly wrapped with cloth to prevent it from making any noise and alarming the demonic centipede.

Then, Gu Yuan cut open the rooster's neck with his hatchet.

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

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

As for the Iron-Toothed Rat, A'Huang, to avoid any accidents, Gu Yuan had already ordered A'Huang to hide early. If he encountered trouble, A'Huang would immediately provide support!

As the rooster struggled violently and the smell of blood began to spread, Gu Yuan quickly noticed some movement in the grass at the roots of the Polygonatum sibiricum medicinal herbs.

The demonic centipede was alarmed!

Seeing this, Gu Yuan held his breath, trying to minimize his sound and presence.

Soon, a two-foot-long, iron-green centipede crawled out from under a skeleton.

Its mandibles were as sharp as knives, with a faint blue luster. Its carapace was hard, with a shiny metallic sheen. The two rows of sharp feet beneath it were like sharp iron hooks, flashing with cold light, scraping traces on the hard stone ground!

This demonic centipede also exuded wisps of gray mist, which seemed to have extremely terrible toxicity. Wherever it passed, it corroded the weeds, turning them yellow and black, and making sizzling sounds.

“What a terrible poison!”

Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he thought silently: “I'm afraid that even a martial master would be poisoned to death if they encountered even a little bit of this poison, right?”

Next, under Gu Yuan's watchful gaze, the demonic centipede first raised half of its body, then shook its two antennae, seemingly sensing and distinguishing the scent.

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

Soon, it came to the edge of the pit, and after just a glance down, it climbed in without hesitation.

“Now is the time!”

At this moment, Gu Yuan's heart stirred, and he quickly pulled the rope.

Bang!

As the branch supporting the stone was pulled away, the large stone fell, splashing up some dust.

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

The stone he found weighed a full hundred pounds. Although this demonic centipede was also not an ordinary species, it was only two feet long and as thick as a child's arm. After being hit, it was difficult to break free for a while.

The stone fell into the recessed pit and fit somewhat snugly, which further increased the difficulty of its escape.

But even so, as its two rows of sharp feet struggled constantly, a lot of soil was dug up and scattered everywhere, and the stone began to shake incessantly, showing how much strength it was struggling with.

Even the wisps of gray mist emanating from the demonic centipede's body were now becoming more and more dense, corroding the stone pressing on it, leaving traces.

Gu Yuan was not in a hurry to act, seemingly waiting for something.

After a dozen breaths, seeing that he still hadn't received a message from the spirit pet system that the demonic centipede had been captured, Gu Yuan was somewhat disappointed: “Could it be because this demonic centipede could break free from the trap at any time, so it doesn't count as a successful capture?”

“Then…”

Gu Yuan drew out his hatchet from behind, his eyes shining: “What if I beat it half to death?!”

That's right, Gu Yuan was planning to tame this demonic centipede!

This demonic centipede was extraordinary. Gu Yuan guessed that it was either a blue elite-level spirit pet or a red excellent-level spirit pet!

Moreover, according to his speculation, it was probably the latter!

If he could really tame it, it would definitely be an excellent helper!

Gu Yuan raised his hatchet and slammed it down hard.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Gu Yuan smashed the demonic centipede's head.

The wrought iron hatchet collided with its carapace, and it actually faintly emitted the sound of metal, and even Gu Yuan felt that the hand holding the hatchet was somewhat numb from the force of the reaction, which showed how hard the demonic centipede's carapace was!

The demonic centipede's body paused, and a few faint cracks appeared in the carapace on its head. The momentum of its struggle was obviously more intense, and its tail swung back and forth.

However, Gu Yuan was overjoyed to see this:

“Sure enough, it's working?! Good, I'll give you some physical taming today!”

With that said, he slammed down with another knife.

Bang!

The demonic centipede's body trembled, and its momentum was obviously weaker.

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

“Demon art?!”

Gu Yuan's scalp tingled. Without thinking, he rolled on the spot and barely dodged the arrow.

However, the hatchet in his hand was brushed by the gray arrow, and a small section of the tip of the knife sizzled and was corroded into gray molten iron, dripping on the ground.

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

A large tree behind him was hit by the arrow and exploded into a bowl-sized hole.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

As the gray gas spread and corroded, the large tree, which was thick around the waist, broke in the middle and collapsed to the ground.
