29: The first pet in the entire server
The three hundred plus Magic Spotted Butterflies here, after Bai Tian spent a bit of time, were all harvested except for a few that escaped.
The few Magic Spotted Butterflies that escaped were because a critical hit occurred when they attacked Bai Tian, and their health was depleted by the 40x Rebound, so they fled.
But it didn't matter; these three hundred plus Magic Spotted Butterflies provided Bai Tian with 210,000 experience—how bountiful!
But after cleaning up, Bai Tian curled his lip; forget about not having a single piece of equipment, not even a single sealing card dropped.
Bai Tian couldn't help but complain in his heart that Nine Heavens' drop rate really deserved to be struck by lightning.
Fortunately, half an hour later, Bai Tian found another large group of Magic Spotted Butterflies, numbering about 400.
Bai Tian started grinding again, and this time it took over 40 minutes to successfully take down more than 400 Magic Spotted Butterflies.
He gained a total of just over 300,000 experience and a large amount of game currency; additionally, a rare black-quality Assassin's boot dropped, which he immediately put up for sale.
Although a sealing card still hadn't dropped, Bai Tian was only about 150,000 experience away from reaching Level 14.
Persistence is victory!
I don't believe that after clearing out all the Magic Spotted Butterflies here, not even a single sealing card will drop.
In the following time, Bai Tian was like a lonely traveler, continuing to shuttle through the vast canyon, searching for his prey.
Hard work pays off; he finally encountered a third group of Magic Spotted Butterflies.
Although the number wasn't as large as the previous two times, there were still about two hundred.
With the experience from the previous two mass grinds, Bai Tian was even more proficient this time.
His technique was skilled and agile, as if he were a dancer performing a Brilliant show.
Soon, the third group of Magic Spotted Butterflies also turned into experience.
Bai Tian successfully leveled up to Level 14.
Upon reaching Level 14, besides gaining a fixed 2-point increase to all attributes, he also received 14 Freedom attribute points.
Bai Tian distributed the 14 attribute points into 8 Intelligence, 3 Constitution, and 3 Agility.

Bai Tian had leveled up, and his attributes improved significantly, but the experience required for the next level made him click his tongue slightly.
Although after Level 10, the experience required didn't double with each level like before Level 10, it still increased by 50%.
Leveling up would become harder and harder later on!
He shook his head and began to clean up the corpses of the Magic Spotted Butterflies on the ground.
Just when he thought he would be disappointed again, after flipping over a certain Magic Spotted Butterfly corpse, he found a cold, dark green card mixed in with the copper coins.
Bai Tian's eyelashes fluttered as he quickly picked it up to inspect it.
—[Magic Spotted Butterfly Sealing Card]!
Durability: 10/10!
(Can be used on young Magic Spotted Butterflies, with a 45% chance to capture, turning it into a pet egg.)
Bai Tian was so happy he almost jumped up.
It finally dropped!
It's time to go catch that little Magic Spotted Butterfly.
With the sealing card, Bai Tian went as fast as possible to the ancient tree where the spiritual herb and the little Magic Spotted Butterfly were.
The Magic Spotted Butterfly was perched on the spiritual herb, Blazing Blood Vine, its tender wings opening and closing.
Bai Tian smiled and was about to approach to use the sealing card on the little Magic Spotted Butterfly.
"Crack," a faint, almost inaudible sound came from somewhere behind him.
Although the sound was very slight, Bai Tian still noticed it.
Someone is here?!
Bai Tian didn't turn around immediately, nor did he show any abnormality on his face.
Someone suddenly appearing here most likely had something to do with Kiss Kiss Little White and his group.
The newcomer must be an Assassin, here to scout!
To avoid alerting the enemy, Bai Tian pretended to be oblivious, his eyes remaining fixed on the Blazing Blood Vine and the little Magic Spotted Butterfly on the tree.
And Bai Tian's guess was spot on!
The person who suddenly appeared and found him was indeed Assassin No. 5 from Kiss Kiss Little White's team.
He was originally a Level 12 Assassin, but after being killed once by Bai Tian, he was now only Level 11.
Assassin No. 5 appeared here, and a cold sneer appeared on his lips when he discovered Brilliant.
But soon, his whole body shuddered.
Assassin No. 5 also saw the Level 1 spiritual herb Blazing Blood Vine on the ancient tree, as well as the capturable Level 1 little Magic Spotted Butterfly!
—Hiss!
Oh my god!
Assassin No. 5's pupils almost bulged out in shock.
A Level 1 Magic Spotted Butterfly that could be captured as a pet—its value was immeasurable because not a single pet had appeared on the entire server yet.
If he could get his hands on this, it would definitely be a rags-to-riches story overnight.
Assassin No. 5's palms trembled with excitement as he immediately sent a message to Kiss Kiss Little White.
"Cap... Captain, I found Brilliant."
"Besides Brilliant, I also found this."
While invisible, Assassin No. 5 took a screenshot of the Blazing Blood Vine and the Level 1 little Magic Spotted Butterfly on the tree and sent it to Kiss Kiss Little White.
Kiss Kiss Little White, who was coming with hundreds of people from the Blood Moon Guild, saw the screenshot and his expression changed drastically.
"No. 5, at all costs, stop Brilliant. You must not let him get the spiritual herb and the Level 1 Magic Spotted Butterfly."
"We'll be there immediately."
—
Meanwhile, on Bai Tian's side, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smirk.
The Assassin in the shadows was very alert; the fellow didn't make any more noise, like a dormant venomous snake.
But Bai Tian was confident that since the other party had come and seen everything here, they wouldn't be able to stay calm for long.
"I'm rich, I'm rich."
Bai Tian put on a crazed, excited expression and strode forward, preparing to climb the tree to deal with the Blazing Blood Vine and the little Magic Spotted Butterfly.
Seeing Bai Tian's action, Assassin No. 5, who was hiding nearby in stealth, suddenly became anxious.
He was the vanguard sent to scout the way.
Although Captain Kiss Kiss Little White had received support from the boss Vantis and brought over two hundred people from the Blood Moon Guild.
But they were still in the rear and would probably need some time to get here.
Once the spiritual herb Blazing Blood Vine and the little Magic Spotted Butterfly were obtained by Brilliant, even if the main force arrived and killed Brilliant, whether the items would drop was entirely unknown.
With immense wealth right in front of him, how could Assassin No. 5 let Bai Tian take it away?
Of course, Assassin No. 5 wasn't stupid either; he knew Brilliant had terrifying attack power and the Rebound Talent.
He alone was definitely no match; he just needed to delay Brilliant from taking the spiritual herb and the little Magic Spotted Butterfly.
Therefore, seeing Brilliant about to climb the tree, Assassin No. 5, who was in stealth, quickly took off all his attack equipment and released the Assassin's only ranged skill—Flying Dagger—from the maximum range of 20 yards at Bai Tian.
However, the moment the Assassin attacked, his stealth effect would also be canceled.
But Bai Tian detected the other's position in an instant.
Assassin No. 5, who was just about to re-enter stealth after throwing the dagger, was shocked to see Brilliant, who was supposed to be climbing the tree, suddenly turn his head at the moment the dagger was thrown, his eyes like torches, locking onto his position.
What kind of reaction speed is this?
Did the other party know he was here all along?
When Assassin No. 5's Flying Dagger hit Bai Tian's chest, a frigid current of air hit Assassin No. 5 in response.
With Bai Tian's attack power, he didn't even need the secondary ice explosion to instantly kill Assassin No. 5.
This miserable, unlucky guy dropped directly from Level 11 to Level 10.
Having dropped two levels in one night, if he died one more time, he would have to go back to Novice Island for reform.
And Assassin No. 5's Flying Dagger hit Bai Tian and only dealt a pitiful 21 points of damage.
Because when this fellow attacked, he smartly took off all his attack equipment.
Although he had gotten smarter and was afraid of being bounced to death, he still underestimated the keen insight Bai Tian had deliberately trained.
"Hmph, as expected, it's Kiss Kiss Little White and his group again."
After killing the opponent, Bai Tian also learned Assassin No. 5's information.
Bai Tian guessed that the enemy's main force would probably arrive soon; he didn't even bother to take a second look at the equipment Assassin No. 5 dropped after dying.
Bai Tian immediately climbed the tree, wanting to take the spiritual herb and the little Magic Spotted Butterfly.
When Bai Tian approached the spiritual herb Blazing Blood Vine, a wave of ferocity suddenly attacked.
Bai Tian wasn't surprised by this; he activated [Cold Abyss Shield] in advance while simultaneously using the sealing card on the little Magic Spotted Butterfly.
The herb-guarding beast that suddenly attacked from the tree was actually a Demon-grade Centipede the same color as the wood.
Bai Tian ignored the damage it caused, his focus solely on the little Magic Spotted Butterfly.
The sealing card emitted a strange light, enveloping the little Magic Spotted Butterfly.
This time, Bai Tian somewhat believed that his 5 points of Luck weren't just for show.
—"(Ding dong!)"
"(You have successfully captured the young Magic Spotted Butterfly!)"
"(As the first player to capture a pet within the Hundred Thousand Barbarian Mountains, you are rewarded with Luck: +1.)"},{
