Chapter 22 "National Treasure" Gold-Eating Beast
After hearing the instructions from the Zhong family's ancestor, the head of Lingshou Mountain said goodbye and left without any hesitation, ready to carry out the order.

In fact, he had similar thoughts to the Zhong family's ancestor, so naturally he would not refute or hesitate.

The foundation-building cultivators of Spirit Beast Mountain who received orders from the head of Spirit Beast Mountain, although they did not understand the specific situation, still entered the Hundred Beasts Mountain to look for the Qi Refining disciples there.

There are always quite a few Qi Refining disciples who enter the Hundred Beasts Mountain every time, so searching them is not a difficult task.

Most of the time, they are just told a few things and then asked to leave the Mountain of Beasts and wait in the square outside the Hall of Beasts.

……

The gold-eating beast is quite similar to the national treasure in Zhao Shuang's previous life. It is also black and white, and looks quite naive, but it is a little smaller, only about half the size of an adult.

However, don't underestimate this monster. It is a first-level upper-level monster and likes to eat minerals such as gold and iron. You can imagine how powerful its sharp teeth are.

It is said that a top-level gold-eating beast can even bite and eat high-level magical weapons.

However, due to its high intelligence, it is not ferocious or scary. Every time the disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain select spirit beasts, they will hide in a cave that has been dug long ago and cover it with rubble to avoid being discovered and becoming someone else's spirit beast, with no control over their life or death.

Because of this, the Gold-Swallowing Beast lived in the Hundred Beasts Mountain for many years without being captured by any disciple of the Spirit Beast Mountain. It became their spirit beast and lived a very comfortable and happy life.

But it never expected that someone would come to its door and face two "overlords" of the Beast Mountain, top-level monsters. No matter how powerful it was, it could not be their match and could only crawl out of the cave obediently.

When Zhao Shuang, who was outside the cave, saw that the thing that caused the Demon Refining Pot to move strangely was actually a demon beast that looked like the national treasure, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

For so long, the "national treasure" gold-swallowing beast in front of us is the only monster that can make the monster-refining pot move abnormally.

He couldn't help but check the jade slip information from the storage bag of the disciples of Lingshou Mountain, and then he confirmed the identity of the "national treasure" in front of him.

The gold-devouring beast is a first-level upper-level monster that likes to eat gold and iron and is quite intelligent.

However, there was another sentence at the end that attracted Zhao Shuang's attention: it can sense the gold, stone, iron and silver veins within a radius of 100 miles to a certain extent.

"It looks pretty good. I originally wanted to eat bear paws, but now it seems that I won't. Since it is quite intelligent, it should be able to understand what I say."

After putting the jade slip away, Zhao Shuang looked up and down at the "gold-devouring beast" in front of him, and said to himself with some regret,
"Wow!"

But the "gold-eating beast" shuddered when it heard these words, and let out a low pleading sound.

The listener's heart softened, and then Zhao Shuang started to laugh.

"Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master? If not, I will have to eat braised bear paws."

After hearing what Zhao Shuang said, although the gold-devouring beast did not understand what "braised bear paw" was, it knew that if it refused, it would most likely suffer the same fate as the monsters it had seen killed before.

So, the gold-eating beast agreed without hesitation and said "wow".

"clever."

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang's smile became even more intense, and then he cast a spell to plant the master-servant mark.

After the master-servant mark was planted, Zhao Shuang felt at ease to put the two guardians: the black-scaled dragon beast and another top-level monster: the ground-armored rhinoceros beast into the monster refining pot.

"Come here, let me touch it!"

Zhao Shuang remembered petting a cat in his previous life, and then said to the gold-eating beast,

Hearing the sound, the gold-eating beast, which had already been planted with the blood contract between master and servant, also understood the meaning of Zhao Shuang's words. After a "wow", it crawled over obediently and rubbed Zhao Shuang's thigh.

"Okay, that's good. As long as you follow me, you will definitely get some benefits."

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang couldn't wait to start "stroking the bear", and the smile on his face became more and more intense.

"I never thought that after so many years, there would actually be a disciple who could tame this gold-devouring beast."

Suddenly, just as Zhao Shuang was about to leave Baishou Mountain, a loud laugh came from the sky.

Following the sound, Zhao Shuang looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing on a brocade handkerchief. He was staring at him with a smile, or more precisely, the "gold-devouring beast" next to him.

"Disciple Zhao Yun greets the elder."

Zhao Shuang quickly bowed and saluted.

The other party is a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Spirit Beast Mountain. If it were in the outside world, relying on the top-level spirit beast in the Demon Refining Pot, he would really not be afraid of anything, but now he has to salute obediently.

Fortunately, the other party did not come early, otherwise, it would be a big trouble.

As for his identity, he was not worried.

Because Zhao Yun died in his hands, and he now looks like Zhao Yun, so there is no need to worry about being exposed.

"So you're a descendant of the Zhao family. Not bad, you're actually able to tame the Gold Devouring Beast. I'm sure Senior Brother Zhao would be happy to know."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"Alright, leave the Beast Mountain immediately and wait outside the Beast Hall. This is the order from the head brother."

"Yes, disciple, obey your command. May I ask what happened?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang's heart tightened and he asked quickly.

The middle-aged man was obviously used to Zhao Shuang's questioning and spoke.

"Nothing, just wait outside the Hall of Beasts."

"Yes, thank you, Elder. I will obey your orders."

Hearing this, a look of curiosity and doubt appeared on Zhao Shuang's face, but he did not ask any more questions and bowed respectfully.

"Ok!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man was quite satisfied, and then said.

"I still have to inform the other disciples, so I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he turned into a streak of light and left.

Zhao Shuang lowered his eyes to glance at the "Gold-Devouring Beast" and did not put it into the spirit beast bag, but into the demon refining pot.

Then he left and disappeared.

At this point, Zhao Yun completely disappeared in the Mountain of Beasts.

……

Half an hour later, when Zhao Shuang, who had changed his identity, left the Beast Mountain through the teleportation array, he came to the square outside the Beast Hall under the leadership of the Spirit Beast Mountain manager.

At this moment, there were already twenty or thirty figures in the square, gathered in twos and threes, discussing what had happened.

At the same time, Zhao Shuang also discovered Han Yunzhi and his sister. Except for Han Yunshan's pale face and appearance of being seriously injured, there was nothing wrong with them.

However, he did not keep his eyes on the brother and sister for long. Instead, he found a place to stand there, wondering if his identity had been exposed.

But he is originally a disciple of Lingshou Mountain, so it won’t be a big deal even if he is exposed.

But no matter what, you still have to be careful.

Originally, he wanted to change into someone else's identity and leave directly, but that would be too obvious. Once discovered, he would surely die, so he could only come to the square outside the Hall of Beasts and wait for his fate.
