Puzzled, Wang Xiao simply asked his question.
...However, Wu Yan was in no hurry to explain. After organizing the resources he had just obtained, he divided all the resources used for treatment into three portions and transferred them to Wang Xiao and Tang Longji.
As for the ores, spirit grass, energy cores, and so on, Wu Yan did not mention them, and the other two did not ask.
After allocating the resources, Wu Yan looked at the [Silver Shadow Leopard] again. After thinking for a moment, he took out the [Identification Scroll] and tore it open.
[Silver Shadow Leopard]
[Peak Silver level three]
[Wind]
[A mutated beast that lives in the mountains and is extremely fast. Legend has it that it can walk on the wind. Don’t underestimate it just because it’s small. Be careful that it will tear your throat apart in the blink of an eye.]
[Skills: Floating Light Shadow, Wind Splitting Claw, Silver Flash]
“There, see?”
Tang Longji came over and pointed at the rank column. “Peak silver level three. It was the same when I appraised it just now.”
“It might be a skill effect.”
Wu Yan thought for a moment and replied indifferently. As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xiao and said, “You’re a beast tamer lord. How much do you know about the skills of the Silver Shadow Leopard?”
“How should I put it… I basically know nothing.”
Wang Xiao spread his hands helplessly. “There are more than ten thousand mutated beasts on the Blue Planet alone. How can I know all of them? However, I should be able to analyze something from their names.”
As he spoke, Wang Xiao pointed at the [Floating Light Shadow] skill. “For example, this looks like a speed-type skill.”
Wu Yan shook his head. “I think [Silver Flash] is more like a speed skill. Can the same mutated beast have two similar skills?”
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and shook his head. Therefore, the question returned to the beginning.
“Then there’s only one way.”
After a moment of silence, Wu Yan sighed and said helplessly, “The [Identification Scroll] can’t check the skill effect. You have to subdue it into a contract beast. ”
Wang Xiao looked embarrassed. ‘My soldier pit is already full.”
Previously, in order to contract the Blazing Golden Crow, Wang Xiao had already given up on a Bright Moon Merman. If he wanted to sign the Silver Shadow Leopard again, he had to give up on another mutated beast.
Although Wang Xiao also felt that there was a huge problem with the [Silver Shadow Leopard], he felt that it was not very smart to give up on a contracted beast just to check the skill effect.
Wu Yan was speechless for a moment. Then, he looked at Wang Xiao with a strange expression. “So if we want to know the skill effect of the [Silver Shadow Leopard], you have to upgrade your lord core first?”
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and nodded. “I have no objections!”
“Of course you have no objections!”
Wu Yan glared at Wang Xiao and then looked at Tang Longji beside him. “Senior Tang, it seems that this matter can only be discussed again. Let’s go find the last team while we still have time, okay?”
Tang Longji thought for a moment and nodded. “This is our main mission to begin with. However, if we don’t obtain anything in the end, the problem is most likely this Silver Shadow Leopard—
At this point, Tang Longji looked at Wang Xiao with a troubled expression. “At that time, I can only let you sacrifice yourself.”
Wang Xiao nodded to show that he understood. At the same time, he had already calculated in his heart. If it really came to that, the only thing he could give up on was the [Metal Devouring Ant].
Firstly, the [Metal Devouring Ant] was not a combat mutated beast. After giving it up, it would not affect Wang Xiao’s battles too much. Secondly, this kind of mutated beast was still relatively common. He might be able to encounter it again in the future.
The only pity was that if he gave up on the [Metal Devouring Ant], the opportunity to increase its number by ten thousand times would be wasted.
As he thought to himself, the three of them had already returned to the base. The terrain map Wang Xiao had drawn after exploring the way last time was still there, so he took the opportunity to explain it to the other two.
“This is the general direction of the canyon. This mark is the location of the mutated beasts I discovered previously, but I’ve basically dealt with them, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Wang Xiao pointed at the various markings on the topographic map and explained, “These markings are in an area with more poison-type plants. When the time comes, Senior Wu will have to clean it up first. Also…”
“Wait a moment!”
Tang Longji suddenly stopped Wang Xiao and pointed at the corner of the topographic map. “What does this mean?
Wang Xiao took a look and realized that it was an “X” mark. Then, he revealed a puzzled expression. “…I didn’t draw this.”
The expressions of the other two changed. Wu Yan looked at Tang Longji and asked, “The location of the secret realm is near the base. The previous team should have also seen this map. This is most likely left behind by them. Do you want to take a look?”
Actually, Wu Yan did not need to ask at all. This was the only clue about the previous team at the moment, so they had to make a trip no matter what.
The three of them left the base. The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was playing happily with the [Silver Shadow Leopard]. Wang Xiao shouted a few times before it returned reluctantly. Then, the three of them climbed onto the dragon’s back and prepared to set off.
However, just as Wang Xiao was about to give the order to take off, a silver light suddenly flashed and the [Silver Shadow Leopard] appeared beside him.
Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before sighing helplessly. “We have to do serious business. We don’t have time to play with you. Hurry up and go down!”
The [Silver Shadow Leopard] blinked twice and actually lay down. Wang Xiao directly wanted to push it down, but the size of the [Silver Shadow Leopard] was about the size of a calf. How could he push it?
Just as Wang Xiao was thinking of a solution, Tang Longji suddenly said,
“Forget it, bring it along. We only have an hour and a half left.”
Seeing that it was indeed the case, Wang Xiao immediately gave up on competing with the Silver Shadow Leopard and called for the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon to fly towards the “X” on the terrain map.
It was unknown if it was because it was tired or because it was too burdened, but the speed of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was much slower than usual. However, it was also because of this that Wang Xiao had the chance to carefully size up his surroundings.
Last time, in order to be efficient, Wang Xiao had sped past many places. Only now did he realize that the situation here seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined.
From time to time, cracks of various sizes would appear on the rock walls on both sides. The larger ones were enough for people to pass through. Moreover, there was clearly a lot of space behind those cracks.
It was not only Wang Xiao. Wu Yan also discovered the clues in the cracks and directly asked loudly from behind, “Wang Xiao! Are you sure there’s only one canyon here?”
“I’m not too sure!”
Wang Xiao replied honestly, “The last time I came was for the [Breakthrough Stones]. I’ve been looking for the nearby mutated beasts and didn’t look at the environment so carefully!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yan did not say anything else. However, Wang Xiao could still imagine his speechless expression.
After a while, the few of them finally arrived at the location of the “X” mark.
It was a half-meter-wide crack with dense weeds growing out of it. It looked no different from the other cracks.
The reason why the three of them could confirm that this was the right crack was because someone had drawn a huge “X” in blood on the rock wall beside it..
