In an instant, Yang Ling felt as though he had formed some kind of connection with the Great Mother Red Gold Mantis egg.
Soon, a little creature hatched from the egg and ate it all up before finally hopping into Yang Ling's hand.
It looked much like an ordinary Red Gold Mantis, except its entire body was as clear and crystalline as white jade, like a gemstone.
[Please give it a name]
It needed a name, too?
Yang Ling's expression shifted. He looked the little creature up and down, thought for a moment, then said:
"I'll call you Little White."
[Naming successful]
An Attribute Panel slowly appeared:
Great Mother Red Gold Mantis: Little White Level: 1 Strength: 5 Agility: 10 Spirit: 2 Special Skill: Find Gold
"It has a level, too? That means it can level up..."
Yang Ling was pleasantly surprised.
That was great. Spirit Pets that could level up were usually good stuff, with greater potential.
Little White's stats also caught him off guard.
It had just been born, yet it already had 5 points of Strength and 10 points of Agility.
Its Spirit was a little low, but that didn't matter.
It wasn't as if a Spirit Pet could cultivate Martial Skills.
"Little White."
Yang Ling tried calling out to it.
Little White immediately looked at him, seeming quite intelligent.
"Show me how fast you are."
Yang Ling said.
Without a word, Little White took off from his hand and zipped around nearby like a bolt of lightning before returning to his palm.
"That's fast—faster than an ordinary person with 10 points of Agility!"
A grave look crossed Yang Ling's face.
When he used his internal arts, his Agility could reach 20 points, but even then, he didn't think he was as fast as Little White.
"You've got another skill. Does Find Gold mean you can locate Red Gold Ore?"
Yang Ling smiled. "Use your skill."
Little White seemed not to understand.
"Find Gold."
Yang Ling tried putting it another way.
Little White immediately beat its wings and flew deeper into the mine.
Yang Ling picked up the Red Gold Ore Essence and followed it.
After traveling a little over ten zhang, Little White stopped in one spot, fluttering its wings as it looked at Yang Ling.
Without a word, Yang Ling grabbed the Red Gold Crane Beak Hoe and started digging. After digging a little over a meter, he really did uncover a large chunk of Red Gold Ore.
"Impressive! With you around, I'll save even more time digging!"
Yang Ling couldn't help praising it.
Then, with a thought, he had Little White locate dozens more spots containing similar Red Gold Ore.
Yang Ling immediately marked them on the system map, then pulled open his collar.
"From now on, you can hide in here."
Little White promptly flew into Yang Ling's collar and obediently curled up.
"I'm a man with a Spirit Pet now. Ha ha."
Yang Ling smiled, then opened his Attribute Panel:
Character: Yang Ling Profession: Constable (Beast Tamer) Level: 17 Strength: 11 Agility: 5 Spirit: 29 Exclusive Skill: Insight Martial Arts: Vajra Mingwang Technique (First Glimpse of the Door) Experience: 218/1000 Collapse Mountain Fist (Mastery Through Practice) Proficiency: 102/10000 Thief-Catching Saber Technique (First Glimpse of the Door) Proficiency: 146/1000 Health Points: 210
"Hm? Beast Tamer?"
Yang Ling was a little surprised. His profession had somehow gained another role: Beast Tamer.
Could this be a secondary profession?
His expression shifted as he glanced at the Divine Realm Rank List:
[Divine Realm Rank List] [001: Nine Immortals Dao Palace, Lin Caiyi, Level 19, Profession: Daoist] [002: Extreme Flame Sword Mansion, Jiang Tian'ai, Level 18, Profession: Swordsman] [003: Divine Sect, Zhang Shendao, Level 18, Profession: Assassin] [004: Arhat Temple, Li Shou, Level 17, Profession: Berserk Monk] [005: Iron Clothes Department, Yang Ling, Level 17, Profession: Constable] [006: Ku Jue Temple, Hui Wu, Level 16, Profession: Warrior Monk] [007: Valley of the Dead, Qi Kai, Level 16, Profession: Medical Apprentice] [008: Great Evolution Sword Sect, Fang Yun, Level 16, Profession: Swordsman] [009: Mountain River Sect, Wu Xiaochen, Level 15, Profession: Blade Guard] [010: Iron Clothes Department, Qin Mo, Level 15, Profession: Constable]
"I'm fifth now. Also, the Divine Realm Ranking doesn't reveal secondary professions."
Yang Ling pondered this, a hint of emotion suddenly rising in his heart.
Before he knew it, he had already surpassed Hui Wu in level.
The former first-place ranker could now only manage sixth.
Fang Qingyang sat behind the desk, his eyes occasionally drifting toward Mine Tunnel No. 1.
Suddenly, he saw someone emerge from the mine, shouting:
"There are Mine Worms!"
Without a word, he immediately led people over.
"How are you all? Were there any casualties!?"
Before he even reached them, Fang Qingyang called out with a worried expression.
But when he arrived, he suddenly realized that something was very wrong with the mood at the scene.
More than four hundred miners stared at him in silence.
Wang Er stood beside Yang Ling, his face deathly pale and his head bowed.
Fang Qingyang's heart lurched. He forced a smile.
"Supervisor Yang, you encountered Mine Worms? From the looks of it, there don't seem to have been any casualties."
Quite a few miners had gathered nearby, watching curiously.
"Fang Qingyang, you've been caught red-handed."
Yang Ling said coolly.
"Supervisor Yang, what are you talking about!?"
Fang Qingyang's expression changed.
"I don't understand."
"You don't understand? Then let's make sure everyone hears it."
Yang Ling spoke loudly:
"Fang Qingyang, the person in charge of the Red Gold Mine, acted out of selfish motives. He had Wang Er use Red Gold Ore Essence to attract the Mine Worms—the Red Gold Mantises.
"Then, using pig's blood as bait, he tried to cause a catastrophic mining disaster!"
"The witness and evidence are both right here."
He looked at Fang Qingyang and took out the Red Gold Ore Essence. Chen Xu and the others also dumped all the Red Gold Mantis corpses onto the ground.
"Fang Qingyang, you're finished."
"..."
Fang Qingyang was struck as if by lightning.
He had never imagined that the Red Gold Mantises would all be wiped out by the other side.
And the Red Gold Ore Essence had even fallen into their hands...
At first, the miners nearby had gathered just to watch the commotion.
Gradually, their expressions turned grim.
