When he was little, Yue Yang had read a manhua about two mice stealing a chicken egg. One mouse had carried it while the other had dragged its partner by its tail to smoothly steal the egg away. This left a deep impression on him. Now he was using the Quintet Seeking Gold Mice, as their water and earth attributes would allow them to move however they pleased in the mire. With this, Yue Yang had decided to send the two out to steal a nine headed monster’s egg and give it to him.
The water attribute Gold Mouse was extremely fast in the swamp, like a fish swimming in the sea.
The earth attribute Gold Mouse was a bit slower, but not by much.
Yue Yang used his consciousness to control them; it was as fun as playing with a remote controlled car. As expected of Ghost Genius Yue Gong’s proud work; these Quintet Seeking Gold Mice were really skilled and easy to use. Their abilities were perfect; they could resist fire and water, required no maintenance and no power, making it basically a “thrice-guaranteed service” quality.
It was really a godly equipment that was necessary for traveling away from home and exploring the world to treasure hunt.
After over an hour of searching, the two Seeking Gold Mice had finished searching about ⅔ of the entire Demon’s Blood Pond, and discovered 6 nine-headed monsters. Two of them were still young, and only had 3 heads. The other two were close to maturity, and had grown 6 heads. The remaining two were a father and a mother, and were currently sleeping in a large lair. They hadn’t reacted at all to the approach of the Seeking Gold Mice. Because the mice were just mice that had no combat abilities and low vitality, even if the nine headed monsters did notice them, they would think the mice were just some moving rocks…..if a nine headed monster was as intelligent as a human, they might wonder how the two ‘swelling rocks’ were moving.
But the nine headed monster hadn’t yet evolved such intelligent minds. In addition, the Quintet Seeking Gold Mice’s movements were extremely light and covert, and did not attract attention.
As expected, there were eggs in the lair.
However, the nine headed monster eggs were exceptionally large, so the small Seeking Gold Mice had absolutely no way of stealing them away.
“Don’t think that I’m helpless. In this world, there are things called nets.” Yue Yang made a simple and crude net by weaving the black reeds that grew densely by the marsh. Although this crue net looked ugly, holding a large rock with it wouldn’t be a problem. It was definitely sturdy enough.
Hui Tai Lang looked at the crude net that Yue Yang had named ‘China Unicom’ with interest. It felt that it was now time for it to display its skills.
(TLC Note: 中联通 – China Unicom, is a state-owned telecomms operator in China. We have no idea why the author has named it thus, but we couldn’t come up with anything else, so China Unicom it shall be.)
Yue Yang kicked it. This ‘China Unicom’ wasn’t used to catch fish, but to steal eggs. The nine headed monster’s egg was Gold rank. When it hatched, it’d be a Gold cub, and could be sold for thousands of gold at an auction. Just think of what you could buy with all that money? For someone like Yue Yang who was mad about money, he felt that with this ‘China Unicom’, he would no longer be lacking in money.
Of course, just relying on the two Seeking Mice to bring the crude ‘China Unicom’ net down to steal the protected nine headed monster’s egg was impossible.
He had to draw the two nine headed monsters out of the lair.
It was now time to use Hui Tai Lang as meat bait.
Hui Tai Lang had no problem on dry land, but going into the muddy water to attract the nine headed monster’s attraction made its legs go a bit weak.
“You good-for-nothing fellow, you have to think of the positive side. Just think about it, if we succeed in stealing the nine headed monster egg, then we’ll have a Gold cub. That means we’ll have dazzling gold coins, which also means tons of meaty bones. Do you understand? Besides, what does a nine headed monster count as? In a bit, I’ll kill them all one after another, and make barbeque out of them. Stop shaking and get out there right now. Otherwise, I’ll barbeque your legs instead.” Yue Yang kicked Hui Tai Lang out into the mire.
Hui Tai Lang didn’t even swim 100 meters into the Demon’s Blood Pond before it alerted the two nearly mature nine headed monsters. This scared Hui Tai Lang so much that it hurriedly began to swim back to the shore, running for its life.
Luckily, the nine headed monsters didn’t seem to have any interest in wolf meat, and didn’t bother chasing after it.
Yue Yang was burning with anger. He warned Hui Tai Lang that if it dared to swim back again, he’d tie it up and dry it into jerky….Hui Tai Lang was scared to death and hurriedly crawled back out into the mire. It once again began to bark incessantly, and its cries echoed around the entire Demon’s Blood Pond. This time, all of the nine headed monsters were
