Chapter 13

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A month passed quietly. 

During this period, Zhou Ming was still relying on the system’s prediction every day. 

He had obtained quite a number of spirit herbs and spirit cores. 

The Dark Radiant Black Dragon, the Steel Mechanical Beast, and the Mad Giant had broken through to Platinum-Rank 1 in the system! 

Even the weakest Beast, the Flower Fairy had reached Gold-Rank 9. 

As for Ling, no matter how many cores she ate after reaching Gold-Rank 9, it did not work! 

“It seems that only when Ling reaches Platinum-Rank can my power level increase!” Zhou Ming muttered. 

His power had been increasing along with a few Mirage Beasts breaking through. 

However, it just did not increase. 

He looked at the many ripe spirit herbs and spirit cores in the courtyard. 

Then he looked at Xiao Ling who was sleeping soundly on the rocking chair. 

Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly. 

In the past, when Xiao Ling saw that the spirit herbs were ripe, she couldn’t wait for Zhou Ming to harvest, so she secretly ate them. 

But now, she wasn’t interested in the spirit herbs in front of her at all! 

“These spirit herbs and spirit cores can’t satisfy Xiao Ling anymore. I have to find some high-grade spirit herbs as soon as possible.” Zhou Ming muttered. 

[Ding! I predict that the Five-Colored Lotus is about to bloom in the center of the Azure Dragon Lake.] 

[There are already countless Mirage Beasts preparing to fight over it. The degree of success is difficult. Do you want to set a route?] 

Hearing the system’s mechanical voice. 

Zhou Ming was delighted. 

“Five-Colored Lotus?” 

“High-grade spirit herb? Set a route!” 

[The route has been successfully set.] 

Not only did the route drawn up by the system appear in Zhou Ming’s mind. 

There was also the distribution of the Azure Dragon Lake’s Mirage Beasts’ strength. 

Most of them were Gold-Rank, and there were a few Mirage Beasts that had reached Platinum-Rank 2. 

Zhou Ming was not worried at all. 

Right now, the Dark Radiant Black Dragon, the Steel Mechanical Beast, and the Mad Giant had all reached Platinum-Rank. 

They were completely capable of fighting! 

The Mythical Xiao Ling could crush platinum level Mirage Beasts just by relying on her bloodline! 

“Xiao Ling, don’t sleep anymore. There’s a platinum spirit core to eat!” 

Zhou Ming woke Xiao Ling up and was ready to set off. 

“Ghost Hound, take care of the house.” 

Before leaving, Zhou Ming touched the ghost-like hound that was lying at the door. 

“Woof Woof Woof!” 

The Ghost Hound howled in joy. 

It was a Ghost-type Mirage Beast that Zhou Ming had contracted in a deep mountain not long ago. 

It looked extremely ferocious! 

Ordinary people would have no choice but to flee when they saw it. 

Other than the Ghost Hound. 

There were also many Mirage Beasts that Zhou Ming had tamed. 

For example, the wind spirit bird that could control the temperature. 

Ever since he had it, the temperature in the small courtyard could change at will! 

He could also enjoy the warm spring breeze, or the refreshing cool breeze… 

… 

Not long after, beside the Azure Dragon Lake, the golden tusks that the Hunter Elephants were proud of had been broken into several pieces! 

The Black Steel Dragon Turtle’s shell that was like steel had been turned into dust! 

The mutated giant crocodile’s body that was dozens of meters long had also been split into two! 

The corpses of dozens of Mirage Beasts lay beside the Azure Dragon Lake. 

These Mirage Beasts were not weak existences. The weakest among them had reached Gold-Rank 7. 

What’s more, it has reached platinum level four! 

At this moment, the Azure Dragon Lake has been filled with blood. 

In the middle of the lake, Zhou Ming was surrounded by six wings of golden light. 

In the hands of the Five-Colored Lotus something was still emitting light, it was several lotus seeds! 

“With the Flower Fairies, it shouldn’t be a problem for the seeds to grow into more lotuses.” 

Zhou Ming murmured and looked at the shimmering core by the lake. 

“Yiya Yiya!” 

Seeing a few white-gold spirit cores, Xiao Ling became even more excited. 

… 

“Da Bai is missing!” 

“Old man, Da Bai is missing!” 

In the eastern suburbs of Yulan Town. 

An old woman hurriedly ran back to her yard. 

“What do you mean Da Bai is missing?” 

“That’s because Qing Ya just took him to eat grass.” 

She heard the old woman’s anxious cry. 

The old man hurriedly ran out of the dilapidated house. 

He was afraid that the old woman would fall. 

Da Bai was a sheep that their family raised to drink milk. 

It was a black Iron-Rank sheep type Mirage Beast. 

It had a gentle temperament and did not need a contract. 

Ordinary humans could contract it. 

“Qing Ya has already been back for half a day and now she’s gone to pick wild vegetables!” 

“I saw her lock Da Bai into the sheep pen with my own eyes!” 

The old woman said worriedly, pointing at the empty sheep pen. 

“Don’t worry, let Qing Ya look for her when she comes back.” 

“Maybe she didn’t eat enough and went out to eat grass again!” 

The old man comforted her. 

As he spoke, Qing Ya walked in with a basket of wild vegetables. 

“Dad, What’s Wrong?” 

“Da Bai is missing, go look in the field…” 

“That’s not right. The door of the sheep pen was closed tightly in front of me. It’s impossible for me to run out.” 

“Go and look for him. Don’t let him get lost.” 

“Okay, Dad. I’ll go now!” 

Qing Ya put down the basket of wild vegetables and ran out in a hurry. 

… 

After a while, Qing Ya returned home dejectedly. 

“Why did you come back alone?” 

“Father, I searched the surroundings and even asked the busy uncles and aunties in the fields and still…” 

Hearing Qing Ya’s explanation, the old man frowned. 

“Can a live sheep disappear into thin air?” 

“Could it be that there are people who steal sheep in this world?” 

Hearing this, Qing Ya comforted him. 

“Father, no one would steal him!” 

“Moreover, the eastern suburbs of Yulan town are so remote. Even if they steal, they won’t come here!” 

“Let’s just wait and see. Da Bai already has spirit energy. Maybe he will come back by himself.” 

… 

In the middle of the night! 

In another farmer’s house in the eastern suburbs. 

A Fierce Horse was tied to the door and chewing the grass in its mouth… 

At this moment, a pair of green eyes were staring at it. 

In the dark night, it was extremely terrifying. 

The Fierce Horse instinctively felt danger approaching. 

It roared, wanting to escape! 

But it was tightly tied by the reins. 

Bang! 

The reins broke. 

The Fierce Horse also disappeared into the darkness. 

The villagers who heard the Fierce Horse’s roar also hurried out. 

“Fierce Horse, why is it gone?” 

“Father, look at these reins, it was forcefully torn off. Could it be that the Fierce Horse has escaped?” 

“Impossible. Our Fierce Horse is only a black Iron-Level Mirage Beast.” 

“These reins are made of special materials. It Can’t be torn apart!” 

“But these reins weren’t cut by a sharp weapon!” 

“…” 

It wasn’t just this place! 

This kind of thing happened several times in the eastern suburbs of Yulan town in one night.
