Beast Mastery

Looking at the poor little bug in his hand, Zhang Nuo smiled bitterly. What this little guy wanted to eat was very special, it turned out to be metal!

Judging from the information sent by the "Xuantian Gold-Eating Insect", the food it eats is different from the insects in the human world. It only needs to eat metal to survive. But Zhang Nuo has no metal at all for it to eat.

But it is a difficult problem to solve.

With no other choice, Zhang Nuo took the "Xuantian Gold-eating Insect" into his arms, and then walked out of the stone room. As soon as he went out, he happened to meet Ye Ling'er.

Ye Ling'er glanced at Zhang Nuo with her beautiful eyes, feeling suspicious in her heart. This junior brother had been hiding in the stone room and refused to come out since he went to the workshop with his senior brother. How could he suddenly come out today?

"Junior brother, where are you going?"

Ye Ling'er quickly came to Zhang Nuo and looked at the elf-like senior sister walking towards him. Zhang Nuo was afraid that she would find out about the "Xuantian Gold-Eating Insect", so he said with an extremely unnatural expression on his face:

"It's okay, let's go for a walk!"

After saying that, he ran towards the outside of the cave without looking back. Ye Ling'er stood there in a daze and didn't say anything for a long time. Zhang Nuo had always respected the three brothers and sisters before, but he had never shown any respect for them.

There will be a lack of etiquette, but today we are in such a hurry!

Zhang Nuo left the cave and ran straight into the mountains. He had just reached the third level of the Qi Refining Stage and could not fly with magic weapons, so he basically relied on walking for transportation.

After running for a while, it felt like it was more than five miles away from Lin Fan's cave. Zhang Nuo stopped, took out the "Xuantian Gold-eating Insect" from his arms, and whispered in his mouth:

"I don't know where you would like to eat metal, so I will take you out of the cave and you can look for it outside!"

The golden beetle seemed to understand Zhang Nuo's words. It flapped its wings happily and immediately took off into the air, continuing to fly towards the depths of the mountain. Zhang Nuo did not dare to let it fly away alone, so he could only follow closely.

Later, fortunately, the "Xuantian Gold-eating Insect" didn't fly too fast, so I could keep up with it on foot.

After walking for more than ten miles into the mountain, the "Xuantian Gold-eating Insect" suddenly stopped. In front of it was a half-foot-large stone.

Zhang Nuo also walked up to the stone at this time and looked at it carefully. The stone was not very special, it was black and gray and had many pits on the surface.

Just when he was looking at the stone, the "Xuantian Gold-eating Insect" finally started to move. It seemed like it had discovered some delicious food. After falling on the stone, it began to gnaw away.

"Kaz! Kaz!"

The pair of jaws in the mouth of the golden beetle seemed to be indestructible. It bit the stone like a steamed bun. In just the blink of an eye, less than half of the stone had already entered the belly of the "Xuantian Gold-Eating Insect"

inside.

Zhang Nuo was stunned. The message conveyed to him by the bug was that it eats metal. How could it eat stones as well? If he had known this, wouldn't the stone room he lived in be full of stones? Why did he have to travel such a long way?

But after thinking about it again, Zhang Nuo felt that his idea was wrong. On the road just now, he encountered many rocks, but the "Xuantian Gold-Eating Insect" didn't even look at it, and kept encountering the ones in front of him.

This stone is what makes it attractive.

"Could it be that the rocks it eats are not just ordinary rocks?"

Muttering in his mouth, Zhang Nuo slowly walked over. At this time, the stone had been chewed to pieces by the "Xuantian Gold-eating Insect", but inside the stone, little bits of light were emitting!

Seeing these bright lights, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Zhang Nuo's mind! It turns out that this stone is really not an ordinary stone, it is an ore containing metal elements! Zhang Nuo was happy this time. If the "Xuantian gold-eating insect"

"If you can also eat metal ore, it would be much easier. If there is a large Shenjian Mountain Range, there are many such metal ores, which are enough for beetles to eat. This is much easier than looking for metal directly to let it eat.

But what Zhang Nuo still can't figure out is that this "Xuantian Gold-Eating Insect" has eaten so much metal ore, but its body shape has not changed at all. It is still the size of a thumb. I really don't know what it can do.

Where did the ore that was eaten become?

In a moment, a whole piece of stone was eaten by the beetle. It flapped its wings gently, as if very satisfied, and flew back to Zhang Nuo's arms.

After waking up from the surprise, Zhang Nuo walked back while thinking about what had just happened. After eating so many stones, the insect did not change at all, and even the weight did not increase. This was too weird, but

What made him even more excited was what would happen to the "Xuantian Gold-eating Insect" after eating the stone?

Returning to the cave full of hope, Zhang Nuo hid in his stone room again and began to practice in seclusion. During this period, since there were no spiritual insects in his body to suck his blood, his cultivation speed was also fast.

He has learned a lot, even much faster than when he took the elixir before. He must get back the practice he had left behind before, and he must win back some face for his master.

Three days later, when Zhang Nuo released the "Xuantian Gold-Eating Insect" again, he saw that it still had no changes and was the same as before.

After thinking hard for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason. It seemed that this insect only eats metal and other things and has no other uses. But why are so many monks vying to get it?
