Keep calm, keep calm!
Su Ping forced his breathing to slow. His gaze, however, couldn’t help but remain firmly fixated on the blade of grass above, swaying gently with the wind. He swiftly reviewed everything he knew about the Biyao Chunshen.
It could escape at any ti, through any situation. The only substantial obstacle was gold; only that could restrain it. It also possessed a certain level of intelligence and self-awareness, making it quite a special resource-type plant life. But even so, capturing this thing was definitely not going to be straightforward.
In fact, that seed to be precisely the case. The strange grass swayed slowly, and then, astonishingly, it moved again—only it didn’t flee directly. Instead, it seed to have observed and realized that the two people and the surrounding Pet Beasts posed no great threat to it. It then slowly descended from the mountain wall, coming to rest on the ground not far from Su Ping.
This scene was not only clear to Su Ping but also crystal clear to Xing Chen, who stood nearby. As soone who had followed Leng Ye and seen much of the world, Xing Chen was stunned. "Su Ping, is this..."
It wasn’t uncommon to see plants that could move; plant-based Pet Beasts, for example, could move, albeit slowly. But this definitely didn’t apply to common grass like this. And its speed was astonishing. Not fast in a way that made it impossible to catch up, but fast in a different sense entirely. He was dumbfounded, having watched for a long ti without seeing how the grass managed its spatial relocation. It was as if the ground itself was moving while the grass remained rooted in one place, never having budged at all. This bizarre and eerie situation also left Xing Chen dumbfounded.
Su Ping ignored Xing Chen’s question. At this mont, his full attention was focused on this creature.
It dares to provoke !?
Indeed, at this very mont, the little grass’s appearance before him was, to Su Ping, a provocation! An undeniable provocation.
Through the Soul Contract, Su Ping rapidly sent feedback to Xiao Qianyi. Qian Yi remained silent. The Five Elents mantle, which she had grown accustod to manipulating, began to shimr with a subtle glow. Pure Gold Elents slowly began to revolve around her. Under Su Ping’s intense gaze, they shot out like thunderbolts, swift as lightning. At the sa ti, the Papern under Qian Yi’s control ford a solid gold plate. Their speed was several tis faster than any previous attempt!
BANG!
A muffled thud reverberated, stinging Su Ping’s eardrums and startling a large flock of birds outside the dense forest. But at this mont, Su Ping obviously had no mind to care about such things. He watched as Qian Yi personally took action, and with her full strength at that. He licked his lips, which were dry and pale from tension.
Nervous, indeed. It wasn’t just Su Ping who was tense; any Beast Tar would be nervous when facing a potential Biyao Chunshen! Even an existence like Leng Ye would feel the sa.
But as it turned out, being nervous was useless. Amidst the terrifying roar, it was clear whether they had successfully captured the Biyao Chunshen even without opening the golden box. The attempt had failed. Not far from Qian Yi, on a patch of ground, an ordinary horsetail weed stood forlornly, shaking continuously from the turbulent airflow generated by the rapid burst of energy.
At that mont, Xing Chen finally understood Su Ping’s intention. He might not know what this strange grass was, but considering the young master had been eating grass in the Heavenly Mountain for so many days, it was presumably for this very thing.
A light erged from behind Xing Chen. It was a chanical tiger, its body shimring with tallic light, streaks of electricity even surging from its joints. Clearly, this was Xing Chen’s ace combat Pet Beast. Its aura didn’t seem much less than that of the chanical Titan he had seen before.
"Xiao Ping, do you need my help?" Xing Chen asked.
Clearly, given that even Qian Yi, after activating the energy core of the Five Elents Paper Diagram, had failed to capture it, it seed that catching this creature was indeed quite difficult from the perspective of Su Ping’s own strength.
Su Ping looked at the horsetail weed still floating near him, took a deep breath, and then nodded. "But Brother Xing, absolutely do not harm this little thing! And be aware, it can escape through any ans; only high-density gold can bind it!"
Xing Chen nodded, understanding. After all, he had been observing for many days and clearly understood the peculiarities of this strange plant. The chanical tiger, under Su Ping’s astonished gaze, began to slowly liquefy and, just like that, disappeared from Su Ping’s view.
chanical Pet Beasts—truly worthy of being called the new species that had revolutionized the entire Beast Tar landscape in the new era. It’s just a pity that his own Feifei couldn’t show off its magic in this aspect.
Su Ping had no ti to ponder. He watched as the chanical tiger seed to rge into the soil; even the previously solid gold plate turned into liquid under these conditions and vanished before their eyes.
The Biyao Chunshen itself seed to have sensed sothing; its body, which swayed gently with the wind, slowed its swaying. It seed to be assessing the danger. Then, moving as swiftly as a startled rabbit, sothing earth-shattering happened! Countless tal particles, encasing the re-solidified gold, burst from the ground in an instant, enveloping the small grass within!
Did it work?!
Su Ping stared intently at the scene unfolding before him. Sparks of what seed like electromagnetic force instantly covered the entire ground.
What a terrifying ability.
Su Ping felt sowhat nervous. But soon, his brows slowly knitted together.
Everything that had appeared dissipated, and the reassembled chanical tiger returned to stand before Xing Chen and Su Ping. Then, the re-lted and solidified gold enclosure was gently opened, a thin layer of translucent tal obscuring their view.
Instantly, Su Ping felt his blood boil. The unimaginable excitent nearly stopped his heart. Because at that very mont, within the golden enclosure, the horsetail weed that had been ’strutting about’ previously lay perfectly still.
Did it succeed? Did it really succeed?
Su Ping let out a long breath. However, before he could even catch it properly, he almost choked.
Xiao Qing, the overall commander of this operation, rely glanced at the gold box and then quickly turned her gaze to a spot not far away. Indeed, in the distance, an ordinary morning glory swayed gently. Then, as if sensing Su Ping’s gaze, the morning glory, just like before, seed to shrink the distance and once again gracefully swayed over from the ground to a spot not far in front of Su Ping.
Any excitent Su Ping had felt was instantly doused, as if by a bucket of cold water. His face flushed red with frustration.
Dammit! This is intolerable! This little thing is just too infuriating!
But he quickly got his emotions under control, his brows furrowing slightly. The difference between a hunter and prey lay in emotional control. Su Ping understood this. However, even with his emotions fully suppressed and under control, Su Ping still felt sowhat at a loss.
They had made only three consecutive attempts. All his previous theories were completely overturned. From this creature’s ’provocative’ and ’mocking’ behavior, its intelligence was probably not inferior to that of an ordinary Pet Beast. And its demonstrated abilities spoke for themselves.
Even Brother Xing’s thods had failed to capture it. More importantly, the fact that this little creature continued to ’provoke’ them showed that the two previous capture attempts hadn’t prompted it to leave at all. Clearly, it hadn’t taken them seriously in the slightest. Or rather, fundantally, those attempts posed no threat or had any impact on it whatsoever! That’s why this little fellow could continue to ’strut about’ here.
Su Ping blinked.
Only then did he realize that his ideas had perhaps been overly idealistic?
Legendary Level resources! Being at this Level signified their rarity and imnse value. Even if he found it, this thing wasn’t like a mushroom one could just pick at will.
Xing Chen, seeming to notice Su Ping’s disappointnt and helplessness, thought for a mont and said, "Xiao Ping, should we ask Ghost Saint to co over?"
Call Leng Ye over? Su Ping felt sowhat reluctant. If Leng Ye ca, although he might share a part of it with Su Ping in the future, it would essentially be out of Su Ping’s hands. People are inherently selfish.
Su Ping had located this creature based on Xiao Qing’s analysis of its mutation’s origin. After so many days of braving the elents, if he still had to rely on Leng Ye to make the final move, Su Ping wouldn’t feel right about it, no matter what. Thinking this, Su Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Let’s give it another try. If it still doesn’t work, then that’s our only option."
Xing Chen nodded. "What do you want to do?"
Su Ping thought for a mont, then his brows furrowed slightly. "No need. I’ll try to figure sothing out myself."
Xing Chen was startled, then nodded without any change in expression. He understood that this creature was likely invaluable; speaking rashly might lead to a misunderstanding with the young man.
Su Ping let out a sigh. Then, without any further action, he opened the gold box, tossed the peculiar weed inside to Xiao Qing, and then sat down directly on the ground. The Biyao Chunshen, which had transford into a morning glory, was just three to five ters in front of him.
Xing Chen watched this scene intently. This creature was extrely bizarre; if it showed any intent to harm, he and his Pet Beast could react imdiately.
Indeed, Su Ping’s idea was quite simple.
If the hard approach doesn’t work, why not try a soft one? If it has intelligence, doesn’t that an it can communicate? And if it can communicate, isn’t it possible to coax it? Pfft, I an, cooperate!
