Looking at Wang Xiao’s ambitious expression, Zhou Xiruo smiled and was about to speak when she suddenly frowned. “Does the [Silver Shadow Leopard] you mentioned have short silver fur?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. He did not seem to have said what the [Silver Shadow Leopard] looked like, right?
Puzzled, Wang Xiao was about to ask Zhou Xiruo how she knew when he realized that she was staring in a certain direction with a strange expression.
An ominous feeling surged in his heart. Wang Xiao followed Zhou Xiruo’s gaze and turned around. He saw a Silver Shadow Leopard squatting in the grass a few hundred meters away and staring at them!
Wang Xiao’s expression immediately became subtle. Although the appearance of the [Silver Shadow Leopard] was similar, his intuition told him that this was the one he had just encountered!
“What do we do now?”
Zhou Xiruo went to Wang Xiao’s side and whispered, “You snatched its things. Now that it’s here to seek revenge, I keep feeling strange if a fight happens later. ”
“I’ll say it again. I gave it two bottles of recovery potions, so it can’t be considered robbery.”
Wang Xiao replied softly without feeling any burden.
The rules of this world were that the strong preyed on the weak. Although Wang Xiao had decided to let the [Silver Shadow Leopard] off, if the other party took the initiative to pester him, it would be a different matter.
As he spoke, with a thought, the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] and the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] appeared behind him.
These were the two fastest mutated beasts in Wang Xiao’s hands. Only they could keep up with the speed of the Silver Shadow Leopard.
As soon as the two platinum-quality exotic beasts appeared, a terrifying pressure wreaked havoc in the canyon.
The Silver Shadow Leopard immediately arched its body. Wang Xiao immediately perked up and was constantly on guard against the other party’s sudden attack!
However, at this moment, the [Silver Shadow Leopard] suddenly relaxed. It lowered its head and rubbed its nose against the grass in front of it. Then, it slowly retreated into the grass and disappeared.
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other in confusion.
After a few seconds, Zhou Xiruo asked in confusion, “Why did it leave? Was it frightened by the auras of your two mutated beasts?”
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and shook his head. “It has seen the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] before. If it was so easily frightened, it probably wouldn’t have come.”
“Then what’s going on?”
Zhou Xiruo frowned. “I think the Silver Shadow Leopard left something there just now. Could it be that it wants to lure you over and wait for an opportunity to ambush you?”
Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. It sounded very possible, but the [Silver Shadow Leopard] was only a silver-quality exotic beast. Would it be so smart?
After pondering for a while and having no clue, Wang Xiao directly threw this question to the back of his mind. He jumped onto the back of the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon and instructed, “Wait here. I’ll go take a look.”
“No way!”
Zhou Xiruo hurriedly refused. “That might be a trap!”
“So what if it’s a trap?
Wang Xiao asked in return. He was caught between laughter and tears as he looked at Zhou Xiruo and said, “I know you want to be more cautious, but that’s a silver-quality mutated beast. With our strength, wouldn’t we be a little too cowardly if we’re so frightened by it that we don’t even dare to leave the base?” “That’s right! What’s there to be afraid of about silver-quality exotic beasts?”
Zhou Xiruo was immediately enlightened. They had been tortured too miserably by Tian Gang this month and had almost forgotten how strong they were!
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiruo also climbed onto the back of the Ice Thunder
Horn Wolf. “I’ll go with you!”
Wang Xiao’s expression changed. Just as he was about to refuse, Zhou Xiruo continued, “With the two of them together, they can take care of each other even if there’s a trap. Moreover, it’s only a silver-quality exotic beast. We can’t be so frightened by it that we don’t even dare to leave the base, right?”
Hearing his own words spoken back to him, Wang Xiao was immediately speechless. He sighed helplessly and waved his hand. “Alright, be careful.”
“Don’t worry!”
Zhou Xiruo agreed. The two mutated beasts immediately jumped out of the base and ran towards the place where the Silver Shadow Leopard had stopped just now.
When there were about 50 meters left, Wang Xiao ordered the two mutated beasts to slow down. After all, this might be a trap. Although he was not afraid, it was not wrong to be careful.
However, when they arrived near the grass, the surroundings were still calm.
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other. The [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] slowly stretched out its front claws and gently pushed aside the grass. They saw more than ten shiny stones inside.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo looked at each other again with confused expressions.
There were all kinds of these “stones”. There was the [Breakthrough Stones] that Wang Xiao urgently needed, the common [Beginner Energy Core], and even a few ordinary crystals, but all of them were shiny.
“What is this supposed to mean? A bait for a trap?”
Wang Xiao jumped to the ground and casually picked up a crystal. He discovered that this was only an ordinary crystal. Many secret realms had this thing and could not even be considered a “material”.
However, although it was useless, this crystal was crystal clear and very beautiful.
“I think I know…”
Zhou Xiruo said softly with a subtle expression, “The types of these materials are different, but they’re all shiny. Could it be that the [Silver Shadow Leopard] thought that you liked this kind of thing, so it specially gave it to you?”
“…It can’t be, right?”
Wang Xiao’s expression also became subtle. However, when he thought about the limited intelligence of the [Silver Shadow Leopard], it might really be able to do such a thing!
Be it the [Breakthrough Stone] or the [Energy Core], they were only “bright stones” in the eyes of the Silver Shadow Leopard.
Its instincts urged it to collect these things. After Wang Xiao took the [Breakthrough Stones] from its mouth, it thought that Wang Xiao also liked this thing, so it sent it over from afar. But why did it do this?
“I think it’s to repay a debt of gratitude.”
Zhou Xiruo seemed to know what Wang Xiao was thinking. “Perhaps it consumed a lot of stamina in the battle. This is very dangerous for wild mutated beasts, but your potion helped it recover. Or is it just because you spared its life?”
Wang Xiao did not speak, but his expression became even more subtle.
Although this was only Zhou Xiruo’s guess, it sounded quite reasonable.
Moreover, no matter what the reason was, he could feel the sincerity of the
Silver Shadow Leopard, forming a sharp contrast with Wang Xiao’s actions.
Seeing Wang Xiao’s subtle expression, Zhou Xiruo teased, “Repaying evil with kindness… ”
“Hey! Don’t push your luck!”
Wang Xiao growled angrily, but there was a hint of guilt in his voice. “I didn’t Imow it would become like this…
Seeing that Wang Xiao was really sincere, Zhou Xiruo did not continue to tease him. She asked with a serious expression, “Then what should we do? Are we accepting these things?”
“I definitely have to accept the [Breakthrough Stones]. Forget about the other things.”
As Wang Xiao spoke, he picked out the [Breakthrough Stones] and took out 20 [Beginner Energy Core] before putting them back. “Leave the rest here. It will come and take them sooner or later..”
