Others Tame Beasts, I Tame Demons - Chapter 18
Chapter 18: Secret Treasure Obtained!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The connection between Beast Tamers and their pets was very close. Although it was not to the extent of symbiosis, no matter which side died, the other party would suffer greatly.
Beast Tamers were better. After all, they were the dominant party in the contract. After their pet died, although they would also suffer a backlash from the contract, their soul would only suffer some injuries. In addition, the Beast Taming Space that the pet belonged to would collapse and it would forever lose this contract slot.
In comparison, the backlash that pets suffered was much more serious. Once a Beast Tamer died, most pets would die as well, unless their spiritual energy level was much higher than a Beast Tamer’s.
As for how much higher, after years of research, a general conclusion had been reached.
When the spiritual energy of a pet was one level higher than that of a Beast Tamer, there was a high chance that it would not die directly after suffering the backlash of the contract, but it would suffer extremely serious injuries.
When its spiritual energy was two levels higher, it could try to resist the backlash of the contract.
As for those who were more than two levels higher, they could basically ignore the so-called contract.
For this reason, Beast Tamers only dared to contract pets that were at most one level stronger than them. If it was any higher, they would have to constantly be prepared for the betrayal of their pets.
To a Beast Tamer, there was a risk of backlash from the contract, but the benefits were more than enough to wipe it out.
The pet was not just a fighter. Through the mental connection, Beast Tamers could share their vision.
Moreover, as the Beast Tamer’s spiritual energy level increased, the benefits would also increase.
Apprentice Beast Tamers could only master simple abilities like telepathy, but ordinary Beast Tamers could awaken attribute sharing!
The so-called attribute sharing was to share a portion of the pet’s physical attributes, including strength, physique, reaction speed, and so on.
After obtaining the attributes of the pet, the strength of an ordinary Beast Tamer could completely crush ordinary people!
In short, the further a Beast Tamer went, the more benefits they could obtain. If they were lucky, after reaching the king level, their strength would be comparable to extraordinary creatures of the same level.
Of course, Su Yi was still far from it.
In terms of the standards of extraordinary creatures, he, who had just established the Beast Taming Space, should only have a spiritual energy level of one star at the Apprentice level. It was even inferior to the Thorn Grass.
Fortunately, Beast Tamers never fought alone.
Seeing that the Thorny Grass had agreed, Su Yi did not waste any more time. He immediately instructed it to sneak out of the safety station and rush towards the treasure.
Through the mental connection, he could clearly sense the location and surrounding situation of the Thorn Grass.
It was just as he had expected. The Thorn Grass extended and crawled or burrowed along the way without encountering any danger.
It was not because it was very strong, but mainly because no dire beasts cared about it.
Not to mention carnivorous extraordinary creatures, even herbivorous extraordinary creatures were unwilling to gnaw on Thorn Grass.
The only thing that did not satisfy Su Yi was that Thorn Grass was moving too slowly.
It was very fast to use the Digging skill, but it consumed a lot of spiritual energy and was difficult to last long.
For this reason, the Thorn Grass took half an hour to travel a short distance of 1.1 kilometers!
Of course, Su Yi did not say anything. He could tell that the Thorn Grass had done his best. He even felt a little guilty for squeezing this little guy like this.
“Why don’t I buy some Energy Water after we get out? I can’t always trick it. Anyway, Energy Water isn’t very expensive. A bottle is only about a hundred yuan.”
Su Yi muttered to himself.
Energy Water was not a natural treasure, but a beverage produced by some water-type extraordinary creatures.
All creatures could absorb this beverage. Not only could it recover physical strength, eliminate fatigue, and treat injuries, but it could also accelerate the growth of wood-type extraordinary creatures.
With his financial ability, although he could not afford the Thorn Grass every day, it was not a problem to buy a bottle occasionally.
Seeing that the Thorn Grass had already arrived at its destination, Su Yi was a little excited. He hurriedly retracted his thoughts and wanted to find the treasure.
However, what puzzled him was that there was only an ordinary grassland around the Thorn Grass. There was no trace of any secret treasure at all.
“What’s going on?”
Su Yi was slightly stunned and hurriedly checked the system notification.
Five meters below the pet, a low-level treasure has been discovered!
Five meters straight down?
So this secret treasure was buried underground!
“I suppose it makes sense. If it wasn’t buried underground, someone else would have found it by now.”
Su Yi understood.
However, five meters was a little deep!
“Can you dig so deep, Thorn Grass?” he asked before he could stop himself.
Then the Thorn Grass’s old habit kicked in. All that came back was some negative emotion, summed up…
No! Very difficult! Don’t want to!
Sigh!
Su Yi sighed. “In that case, we can only give up. I originally wanted to exchange that treasure for some Energy Water, Vegetation Essence Fruits, and so on…”
How could the Thorn Grass not tell that he’d said it on purpose?
But the temptation was too great. Even though it knew that Su Yi wanted to use it, it could not refuse.
After hesitating for a moment, it finally used its Digging skill and burrowed underground angrily.
The first two meters weren’t so bad. They were all relatively loose layers of soil. The Thorn Grass slipped through easily, but the soil became tighter the deeper it went.
When it reached three meters, it slowed completely and could only inch deeper into the ground.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
Su Yi could not help but feel touched when he sensed the Thorn Grass trying its best to burrow down.
Although this little guy’s temper was not very good, its persistence and ruthlessness really shocked him.
“The little guy’s spiritual energy level is still a little too low. If it can be raised to above five stars of the Apprentice level, it shouldn’t be so difficult.”
Fortunately, just as the Thorn Grass was about to run out of spiritual energy, the treasure finally appeared in their perception.
“This is… Wood Spirit Stone!”
Su Yi was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
Although Wood Spirit Stones were only consumable-type secret treasures and were far less valuable than combat-type secret treasures, they could still be sold for more than a million yuan and were very easy to sell.
More than a million!
He was going to be rich!
Su Yi was so excited that his heart beat faster.
But then a thought struck him, and his expression changed.
Wood Spirit Stones had a fatal attraction to wood-element extraordinary creatures. That little guy couldn’t even resist the temptation of Energy Water and Vegetation Essence Fruits. Could it resist this?
He had just thought of this question when the Thorn Grass had already wrapped around the Wood Spirit Stone. Its excitement was even greater than Su Yi’s.
“Stop now. That stuff doesn’t taste good…”
Su Yi was shocked. He wanted to stop it, but at that moment, his words seemed so pale and powerless.
