188: Tyrant Rat

The small cave seemed to have quite a large space inside, filled with a lot of food.

There were not only peanuts, but also dried goods like Rice and walnuts.

With these things, Wei Xun could just grab a handful to eat whenever he was hungry in the cave.

For sustainable development, he never ate too much each time, fearing that the food inside would run out at some unknown time.

On the thirtieth day of being Sealed.

Wei Xun came to the small cave as usual, ready to eat something, but this time when he reached in, he grabbed a furry object.

After pulling it out of the cave, Wei Xun realized it was a Grey Fur mouse.

The mouse was staring wide-eyed at him, both parties a bit bewildered.

"You're the one who ate more than half of my winter food, aren't you!"

Before Wei Xun could react, the mouse actually opened its mouth and roared, sounding like a human boy's voice, currently very angry.

"Ah?" Wei Xun scratched his head, then smiled, "So you're a Spirit Beast!"

"Don't tell me so much!" The little mouse was furious; although it was caught in Wei Xun's hand and couldn't break free, it kept flailing its limbs, as if wanting to rush up and bite Wei Xun.

"You bastard, you ate so much of my food, I'll kill you!"

The little mouse cursed and bared its teeth at Wei Xun.

"Don't be angry!" Wei Xun hadn't seen a living creature for over a month, and now that he finally saw a mouse, he felt incredibly close to it.

"How can I not be angry!" The little mouse shouted, "Do you know how long I've been storing this food? You ate more than half of it! How am I supposed to survive this winter?"

Hearing this, Wei Xun suddenly remembered.

Wang Tianchi's city lord father's birthday was at the end of October, and it was already October when he left Qian Yuan City. Although he couldn't calculate the exact time underground, it had been over a month by his estimation.

It was indeed almost winter!

"How about we make a deal!" Wei Xun said with a smile to the little mouse.

"A deal my butt!" The little mouse didn't listen at all, "Today, either you die or I live! If you've got the guts, put me down and let's have a one-on-one fight!"

"You have quite a temper!" Wei Xun was amused by the little mouse.

"Anyway, I won't survive this winter, so I might as well fight you today!" The little mouse continued to struggle.

"Don't be impulsive!"

Wei Xun smiled.

Although the little mouse tried its best to appear extremely fierce, in Wei Xun's eyes, it seemed very cute.

"I'm also a mouse, so we're sort of the same kind!" Wei Xun continued.

"You're not worthy of being a mouse!" The little mouse continued to curse, "You don't store your own food, you come and steal mine, how shameless!"

"I'm trapped underground here, I can't get out even if I want to!" Wei Xun sighed helplessly.

"What does that have to do with me?" The little mouse was a bit tired from struggling, so it temporarily gave up and rested.

"How about this, I'll teach you a Cultivation Technique, and you give me food!" Wei Xun extended a finger towards the little mouse, "If you agree, we'll cooperate!"

The little mouse looked at Wei Xun's outstretched finger, slightly puzzled.

Seeing that the little mouse didn't agree, Wei Xun had no choice but to say, "Anyway, you can't gather enough food now. If we don't cooperate, both of us might not survive this winter!"

"What Cultivation Technique can you teach me?" The little mouse asked curiously.

"Big Gulp, Shadowless Step, Earth Escape Technique!" Wei Xun said to the little mouse, holding up three fingers, and then explained the effects of each Cultivation Technique.

"I know Earth Escape Technique!" The little mouse thought for a moment and said, "I want to learn Big Gulp first, so I can carry more food each time!"

"In that case, if you choose to cooperate, let's touch!"

Wei Xun moved his raised finger closer to the little mouse.

The little mouse blinked a few times, then extended its front paw and touched Wei Xun's finger.

Immediately after, Wei Xun used Spiritual Empowerment Hand to tap the little mouse's head with his finger, and a warm energy flowed from Wei Xun's fingertip into the little mouse's body.

The little mouse was stunned for a moment, and its vision suddenly cleared.

"I feel like I can eat a whole cow in one breath now!" The little mouse was extremely excited.

"In ten days, I can teach you Shadowless Step!" Wei Xun slightly loosened his grip on the little mouse. This little fellow had calmed down now. "For these next few days, both of our food supplies will depend on you to gather!"

"Leave it to me!" The little mouse nodded repeatedly.

"What's your name then?" Wei Xun asked the little mouse curiously. This little guy looked very much like his former self.

"My name is Overlord Mouse!" The little mouse puffed out its chest proudly.

"What a terrible name!" Wei Xun couldn't help but laugh after hearing it.

"How is this name notDomineering!" The little mouse looked at Wei Xun laughing, very confused.

"Call me Big Brother, and I'll give you a new name!" Wei Xun said, suppressing his laughter.

The little mouse thought for a moment after hearing this, "What name will you give me?"

"Call me Big Brother, and I'll give you a name!" Wei Xun said with a smile.

"I, the mighty Overlord Mouse, would never acknowledge you as my Big Brother!" The little mouse tilted its head to the side, looking very arrogant.

"I'll treat you to something!" Wei Xun said, flipping his hand to take out a small piece of spiritual peach meat, about the size of a jujube pit, then brought it close to the little mouse's nose.

As a Spirit Beast, it was already very sensitive to Spiritual Qi. When it smelled the spiritual peach, the little mouse's eyes immediately widened and rounded.

"Acknowledge me as your Big Brother, and I'll give you spiritual peach!"

"You..." The little mouse looked at the spiritual peach meat, then at Wei Xun, its expression very hesitant.

"If you don't want it, I'll take it away!" Wei Xun said, making to take the spiritual peach meat away.

Seeing this, the little mouse immediately became anxious. For an ordinary little Spirit Beast like him, it was rare to encounter something of this quality in his entire life.

So when he saw the item about to disappear, the little mouse immediately bumed and raged, "Big Brother, Big Brother, Big Brother, Big Brother, Big Brother, I, Overlord Mouse, will be your little brother from now on!"

"From now on, don't call yourself Overlord Mouse!" Wei Xun saw the little mouse relent, so he directly placed the spiritual peach meat into its paw.

The little mouse hugged the spiritual peach meat and stuffed it into its mouth, as if afraid Wei Xun would go back on his word.

"Xiong Er, Three Flowers, Si Niang, White Dream...." Wei Xun thought for a moment and then said, "If I take you as my little brother, you'll be ranked sixth. From now on, I'll call you Little Six!"

"Okay, okay!" The little mouse nodded repeatedly while stuffing peach meat into its mouth.

After the little mouse swallowed all the peach meat, Wei Xun used Spirit Seeking Eyes to check, and this little creature had already made a Breakthrough from the first level of the Spirit Beast Realm to the second level.

Feeling his Breakthrough, the mouse, Little Six, stood on Wei Xun's palm and did two somersaults.

"Hahahahaha! I, Overlord Mouse, have become stronger again!"
