"A Treasure-Seeking Mouse?" Chu Jingzhuo grabbed Xiao Qing, who was shooting toward him, and asked in confusion.
"Yes, this is a Treasure-Seeking Mouse!" Ke Chongbo examined the little mouse from head to tail, growing more and more excited. "It really is a Treasure-Seeking Mouse!"
He's practically beside himself with excitement, "This is a Treasure-Seeking Mouse, it's extremely sensitive to all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures!"
The Treasure-Seeking Mouse, of course, wasn't originally called that. But because it could find all kinds of treasures, it came to be known as a Treasure-Seeking Mouse, and everyone gradually forgot its original name.
If one could obtain a Treasure-Seeking Mouse, that would mean hitting the jackpot!
The more Ke Chongbo spoke, the more excited he became, "It can find so many treasures! With it, you're set!"
He stroked the Treasure-Seeking Mouse in his hands, which was behaving obediently and didn't dare move, "This Treasure-Seeking Mouse has extremely strong concealment abilities, it's very hard to find. But a single Treasure-Seeking Mouse can sell for an astronomical price!"
"Astronomical price? How much?" Chu Jingzhuo asked.
"At the very least, you could trade it for several thousand top-grade spirit stones!"
"Several thousand?!"
The number was so concrete and so impactful that Chu Jingzhuo couldn't help sucking in a sharp breath.
He had heard of the Treasure-Seeking Mouse before, but he had never had any sense of how valuable it was.
Now that Ke Chongbo put it this way, he immediately understood!
This is truly a priceless treasure!
"Yes." Ke Chongbo nodded seriously. "After all, owning a Treasure-Seeking Mouse means you'll be able to obtain even more treasures later on!"
Otherwise, why would it be called a Treasure-Seeking Mouse?
At this point, the way Chu Jingzhuo looked at the Treasure-Seeking Mouse completely changed.
So this tiny little mouse was actually this formidable!
"Did you catch it, Xiao Qing?" Chu Jingzhuo couldn't help looking at Xiao Qing.
"Hiss hiss~"
Xiao Qing coiled around Chu Jingzhuo's wrist, flicking its tongue as it explained how it had caught the mouse earlier.
The cubs mixed together and played every day, and just now they had even run to the back mountain.
The mountain wasn't very high, and there were even higher mountain ranges behind it.
Although the cubs were still young, when they gathered together, they were very bold.
Besides, this place wasn't far from the back mountain. If anything happened and they cried for help, everyone could rush over immediately.
So everyone let them run around freely, after all, the sect really was a bit small.
The cubs ran up to play, and then Xiao Qing discovered this little mouse, which was unconscious behind a rock.
Mice were on a snake's menu.
So Xiao Qing rushed over and bit the little mouse in one go.
Little Tiger Baby and the others also curiously gathered around.
In the end, they even brought the little mouse back.
During this time, after the mouse woke up, it tried to escape many times, but each time Xiao Qing caught it again.
There was no helping it, snakes had bloodline suppression over mice.
In the end, the little mouse became a toy for the cubs.
If Chu Jingzhuo and the others hadn't arrived, the little mouse would've already been played to death.
Treasure-Seeking Mouse or not, how would the cubs know any of that?
After listening to Xiao Qing's explanation, Chu Jingzhuo couldn't help sighing. Luckily, he had arrived in time.
Ke Chongbo was also full of relief, "Luckily, luckily, this Treasure-Seeking Mouse wasn't eaten. Otherwise, that would've been such a waste!"
He gave Chu Jingzhuo an example, "If it can be properly tamed, it can help its owner find countless treasures, even spirit beast eggs and the like—gah!"
Ke Chongbo's excitement abruptly cut off, because the Treasure-Seeking Mouse in his hands suddenly shot out!
The Treasure-Seeking Mouse turned into a streak of light and whooshed away, so fast it was unbelievable!
"Don't run!"
Ke Chongbo reacted and immediately chased after it.
Xiao Qing also lifted its head, looking at the fleeing little mouse in a bit of a daze.
It actually got away?
The Treasure-Seeking Mouse was indeed extremely fast, with a whoosh, it had run ahead and vanished from sight in an instant.
The Treasure-Seeking Mouse didn't have strong attack power, but its perception and concealment abilities were extremely strong.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to survive in such a dangerous environment.
The reason it had been caught by Xiao Qing this time was because it had secretly drunk a sip of alcohol, its mind went fuzzy for a moment, and it passed out.
Now it had fully recovered and regained its speed.
And it had seized the moment when Ke Chongbo was excited and not paying attention to suddenly bolt.
It absolutely couldn't be caught again!
The Treasure-Seeking Mouse unleashed all of its potential, whoosh whoosh whoosh, charging forward.
Even Ke Chongbo couldn't catch up.
Just as it was about to escape the clutches of danger, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse suddenly sensed a terrifying threat approaching.
When it realized it couldn't escape a patch of darkness, and that the shadow was growing larger and larger, it looked up and nearly suffocated.
A big bird!
A big black bird!
A huge, black third-rank bird!
It was so frightened that it burst out with all its remaining strength, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse abruptly retreated backward and changed direction.
That direction carried an aura that made it feel at ease.
Sensing the black bird closing in, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse let out a shrill "squeak—" and leapt straight into someone's arms.
"Ouch!" A crisp voice sounded.
Mu Shiyue caught the little thing that had rushed into her arms, momentarily confused.
"—Kree!"
The Black Abyss Falcon, which had been about to land, abruptly pulled up and ascended, not touching her.
Mu Shiyue lowered her head to look at the little thing in her arms and said in surprise, "A mouse?"
"That's a Treasure-Seeking Mouse!"
Ke Chongbo caught up and immediately shouted.
"A Treasure-Seeking Mouse?"
Mu Shiyue took a closer look and also recognized its identity.
This little mouse didn't look repulsive like those big rats. On the contrary, it's rather cute.
Although it's a mouse, it's golden in color, fluffy and round, somewhat like the chinchillas many people kept in her previous life.
Once the Treasure-Seeking Mouse was in Mu Shiyue's arms, the big bird that had been relentlessly pursuing it didn't continue the chase. Feeling that broad and peaceful aura, it finally relaxed.
"Squeak squeak squeak…"
It looked up at Mu Shiyue, letting out cries of survival after disaster.
"This little thing is quite cute." Mu Shiyue reached out and rubbed its little head.
Indeed, the fluffy texture felt really nice.
Perhaps because it's small, it felt like cotton, Little Tiger Baby and Little Sesame's fur isn't even as fluffy and soft as its.
"You have to be careful, it might run!" Ke Chongbo rushed over to her and warned, "It's very cunning!"
Just now, this little thing had let him rub it freely, then suddenly ran off when he relaxed his guard.
No wonder it's so hard to catch, this skill is impressive.
"Squeak squeak squeak…"
Hearing his voice, the little mouse immediately cried out to Mu Shiyue, stretching out its tiny paws to hug her finger, even rubbing its little head against her hand.
Ke Chongbo: "..."
His face turned green, "This little thing has two faces! Isn't that blatant favoritism?!"
Chu Jingzhuo came over holding Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing raised its body and flicked its tongue at it.
The little mouse clutched Mu Shiyue's finger tightly, squeaking nonstop, its fear obvious.
Sensing the little thing's fear, Mu Shiyue stroked its head, "Alright, alright, it's fine."
With her other hand, she tapped Xiao Qing's head, "This one can't be eaten, okay?"
After Mu Shiyue said that, Xiao Qing lowered its raised head again, extremely obedient.
