Chapter 66: Little Fox and Little Wind Evolve Once Again!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

“Don’t fight over it.”
“One for each of you.”
Klein fed Little Fox and Little Wind the Excellent Blood Pills.
Last time, Little Fox had successfully gained a tail after taking an ordinary blood pill, and she had mastered a brand-new skill.
Little Fox was familiar with the process. When she saw that it was a blood pill, she opened her mouth and swallowed it.
Little Wind also smelled it and chewed it a few times before swallowing it all.
It was almost identical to the last time.
Little Fox’s hair stood on end, and the heat in her body kept surging.
Little Wind curled up into a ball, protecting the soft parts within the hard shell.
The two pets transformed.
Klein didn’t slack off either.
He held a Low-Grade Strength Enchantment Scroll in his left hand and a Low-Grade Agility Enchantment Scroll in his right.
Klein first used the Low-Grade Strength Enhancement Scroll.
In the end, the system notification said that he had already used it.
“It seems like I can only use each scroll once.”
Klein had no choice but to put it away. He thought that he could stack them.
“Use the Low-Grade Agility Enchantment Scroll,” Klein softly read.
This time, the agility scroll turned into ashes and fused into his body.
A boiling hot spot appeared at his waist.
He lifted his clothes and saw a strange character slowly condensing on his waist.
Agility character!
A stream of air seemed to form between his legs.
His entire body became lighter.
..
Three minutes later.
The effect of the blood pill finally wore off.
Little Fox grew another tail.
However, the newly grown tail was shorter. Perhaps it was because the effect of the medicine was insufficient.
Little Wind’s changes were also more obvious. The hard ‘armor’ on his body was more flamboyant, more inclined towards mechanical!
[System notification: Pet Little Fox has completed metamorphosis, strength increased. Additional ability: Alloy Claws.]
[System notification: Pet Little Wind has completed metamorphosis, strength increased. Additional ability: Amplification.]
Both pets had obtained new abilities!
Klein could roughly guess at the two brand new abilities.
He opened the pet interface.
…
[Tail Fox]
[Name: Little Fox]
[Status: Healthy]
[Abilities: High-Speed Movement, Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Alloy Claws]
He checked the details of the skills.
[Alloy Claws: Claws have been greatly enhanced. A single claw can shatter rocks.]
[Tornado Pangolin]
[Name: Little Wind]
[Status: Healthy]
[Ability: Assault Hammer, Terrain Modification, Amplification]
Check the details of the ability.
[Amplification: Able to increase the size of the body by ten times. Lasts for 30 minutes. Cooldown time: 180 minutes.]
“Not bad.”
After Klein browsed through the new ability, he couldn’t help but imagine the size of Little Wind’s body after he had increased by ten times.
It seemed like he could be used as a mount!
The spot in the middle of Little Wind’s back was just right for him to lie down. There were bumps on his left and right that could be stepped on…
He should be able to be used as a mount!
After Klein ransacked the nest, other than rocks and sand, he casually swept through some of the other resources and left in a hurry.
The main reason was that he wasn’t sure how long the effects of the anesthetic would last against the Swarm Mutated Insects.
If he was stuck at the entrance of the cave and had a stuffy fart, there was no need to say anything about how sour it would be!
‘I’ll slip away first.’
Klein squeezed out of the cave entrance.
The effect of the Swarm Mutated Insects hadn’t reached its peak yet.
He heaved a sigh of relief and flew into the air with his two pets.
Remaining number of excavations for the day: 4.
‘There are only four options left for the next catacombs. Unless there’s something good in the catacombs below, I don’t want to stay beside the Swarm Mutated Insects to dig. It’s no different from a dung pit.’
Klein looked in five directions one by one.
[Digging down, apart from being in the feces of the Swarm Mutated Insects and having a fecal bath, you’ll also receive a copper chest.]
[Digging up, there are some good plants to gather.]
[Continuing to dig forward, there’s a hot spring that’s about to dry up. You can take a beautiful bath.]
[In the catacombs to the left, the Night Whistler is hiding under the sand. There’s a Copper Treasure Chest beside it.]
[In the catacombs on the right, you can find food and water. Search carefully and there are some decent resources.]
The five directions were not rich in resources.
The danger level was also average.
“Let’s go to the hot spring and take a good bath.”
Klein sniffed his body and decided to dig ahead.
From the moment he entered the catacombs, Klein had only used water to wipe his body. He had yet to take a hot bath to his heart’s content.
There was a limit to the amount of water he could produce every day.
He had only produced the second water condenser yesterday.
Based on the current consumption and storage ratio, he could probably take a bath every few days.
This time, he had encountered a hot spring, which could save him a lot of fresh water.
Klein flew in the air with a shovel in hand. He first dug out a passageway that could allow him to stand, and the rest was much simpler.
He continued digging forward.
It was about fifty meters before he arrived at the next catacomb.
The thirty-ninth catacomb!
The ratio of sand and rock coverage was about 1:1.
In the middle of the catacomb, there was a large depression in the rock. From time to time, a wisp of white gas would float out.
Klein was delighted when he saw this and quickly walked forward.
The depression was the size of a bathtub.
The depth of the water was about a meter.
[A mouthful of the hot spring that is about to dry up doesn’t taste good. Drinking it will give you a stomachache. It’s perfect for bathing.]
Klein reached out to test the temperature of the water. It was alright for him.
The main reason was that his skin had been strengthened and was able to withstand the high temperature.
If a normal person were to go down, they would definitely lose a layer of skin.
“Alright, I’ll bathe here.”
Klein opened the runic base and the door faced him.
If someone or danger appeared, he could hide in the base as quickly as possible.
Klein turned around and said, “The two of you, turn around and help me guard.”
Klein turned the heads of Little Fox and Little Wind.
With the two pet guards, he felt more at ease.
Then, he took off his clothes and entered the hot spring.
“Hiss, it’s comfortable.”
Klein grinned and praised, “The water temperature is just right.”
It was exhilarating!
He took out a towel and soap and began to wash himself.
He washed from head to toe.
The originally clear hot spring immediately turned turbid.
Klein looked at the spring water and smiled awkwardly.
Even if it didn’t dry up, it would still be polluted by him.
The underground hot spring continued to rise.
The turbid spring water and bubbles continued to flow to the edge.
It wasn’t easy for Klein to find the hot spring, and he didn’t want to leave after washing. He immersed himself in the warm water and enjoyed a moment of leisure.
