I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

Chapter 71 Cloud-Piercing Bamboo Shoots

Roar! !

Upon hearing the roar of the Flaming Lion, Nan Ran and the others immediately looked in its direction.

Nan Ran grabbed the antlers of the Frostbeast and skillfully climbed onto its back. The two of them, along with the little chubby worm, headed towards the location of the Flame Lion.

Hui Yao, Shi Qing, Meng Duan Yue, and the others, who had just taken the unwanted nectar from the hive left behind by the Blue Firefly Queen after her advancement, also heard it.

"It's the roar of the Flaming Lion!"

"Nanran is in danger?"

Hui Yao and Shi Qing's expressions changed almost simultaneously, and they spoke in unison.

"Listen, it sounds like the sound of a monster being frightened..."

Meng Duanyue analyzed in a deep voice.

Huiyao immediately looked anxiously at Meng Duanyue, hoping that the other woman could bring people with them to find Nanran: "Senior Sister Meng, we..."

"Don't worry!"

Meng Duanyue patted Huiyao on the shoulder: "Whether it's out of responsibility to lead the team or something else, since I've taken your money, I naturally have to do my best to bring you back to the sect safely."

"Otherwise, I won't need to do the tour guiding business anymore!"

They might as well just destroy their own reputation!

Hui Yao, Shi Qing, and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The group immediately headed towards the direction from which the lion's roar had come.

Nan Ran, riding the Frostbeast, arrived at the Flame Lion even faster than them.

"Big Meow!"

Before she even got close, she anxiously asked, "What's wrong? Are you alright?"

[Aww...]
The fiery lion roared, unsure how to respond.

It looked up at the giant... uh, bamboo shoot that had suddenly appeared in front of it and blocked the sunlight from its view.
It's hard to explain for a moment.

The Flame Lion lives in the Flame Beast Forest year-round and is familiar with its environment.

Even though he later reluctantly followed Hua Shen to the Beast Taming Sect, intending to secure a stable job.

At most, they are only familiar with the environment around the Beast Taming Sect.

This was its first time visiting the Water Fairy Forest.

When Nan Ran jogged over, she was also startled by the scene before her.

"Holy crap? What is this thing?!"

She looked up and saw something like a bamboo shoot, piercing straight into the sky, with no end in sight.

Haha~

Nan Ran rubbed her aching neck, feeling as if her cervical spondylosis had almost been cured.

"What the hell is this?"

She turned to look at the Frostbeast, who was probably more familiar with the place.

The Frostbeast, like her, looked up... [This seems to be...]
Before it could say anything, the little chubby worm that had been curled up in Nan Ran's pocket poked its head out and gagged a few times.

[You're going to kill the bugs!!]
The chubby worm angrily accused someone, but suddenly sensed a shadow. He looked up and his expression instantly changed.

[Oh Goddess! Thank you for the blessing of the Insect God!]
[I, a little bug, was lucky enough to catch this amazing thing!!]
Nan Ran saw that the little chubby bug clearly recognized the thing and was about to ask what it was.

Before she could even speak, the little chubby worm had already crawled out of her pocket and landed on her shoulder. With a leap, it grabbed the bamboo shoot-like thing, its teeth chattering, and chewed out a wormhole.

With a "whoosh," it darted inside.

Then, all Nanran heard was, "[Little Laozi (chew chew chew) is so lucky (chew chew chew)]"
There seemed to be some other noise, but it was all drowned out by the "chewing" sounds.

Nan Ran: ...

She had no choice but to look at the Frostbeast again.

"Cloud-piercing bamboo shoots!!" Meng Duanyue and the others exclaimed at that very moment.

Nan Ran turned around, seemingly puzzled: "Cloud-piercing bamboo shoots?"

What is that?

She looked at the Frostbeast again.

The Frostbeast finally had a chance to speak and explain to her: "The Cloud-Piercing Bamboo Shoot is a special product of the Water Demon Forest. It absorbs the essence of the earth as nourishment and can grow several meters in an instant after it emerges from the ground."

Meng Duanyue was also explaining to Hui Yao and the others.

"...It is named so because its bamboo shoots grow straight up into the sky!"

"If it can attract a lightning tribulation, it will be an invaluable material for refining weapons!"

Huiyao asked curiously, "What if it can't attract lightning tribulation? Can it still be used as a material for refining weapons?"

"Of course!"

Meng Duanyue smiled gently, glancing at Nan Ran as if she were looking at a precious treasure.

This junior sister, born with a pure spiritual body, is incredibly lucky!
Even rare treasures like bamboo shoots can be found.

"However, without the baptism of lightning, the cloud-piercing bamboo shoots lack a bit of their indestructible quality, making them unsuitable for use as offensive or defensive weapons."

"But it is also a very good material for refining spatial magic treasures."

Meng Duanyue's expression softened even more.

"Even if you just add a small section of Cloud Piercing Bamboo Shoot during the refining process, it can more than double the space that the entire spatial magic artifact can hold!"

But this bamboo shoot that pierces the clouds is intact!

Even if the entire trial team divided it equally, each person would still get a very large share!
Whether you keep it for yourself or exchange it for spirit stones or spirit items, it is an invaluable treasure!
"Furthermore, the heart of the bamboo shoot that pierces through the clouds is edible. It is said to be very tender and delicious, and it can also increase the probability of comprehending the three elements of wind, thunder, and earth!"

Upon hearing this, Huiyao, Shiqing, and the others were immediately filled with envy.

It's so amazing!! No wonder everyone wants to come to this trial grounds to try their luck.

This place is truly full of treasures!

Their eyes all fell on Nan Ran, and they all thought in unison: This is all thanks to Nan Ran!
If it weren't for Nanran, they wouldn't have had the chance to decide to come to the Water Fairy Forest for an adventure!
Moreover, it was Nanran who first discovered these cloud-piercing bamboo shoots!
Even if it wasn't Nan Ran who discovered it, it was Nan Ran's pet beast, the Flaming Lion, that discovered it.

Nan Ran had no idea that Meng Duanyue and the others had already regarded her as a "lucky charm".

All she remembered was the Frostbeast saying, "This thing is edible!!"

However, since Meng Duanyue and the others were all there, she couldn't very well call out Little Fatty.

I just hope this bug has a conscience and doesn't eat them all!

The crucial point is, the heart-eating worm is poisonous!!
Is it still safe to eat the things it crawled on?!

Nan Ran panicked.

The Frostbeast, however, thought: [Actually, many people, including demonic beasts, don't know that near mature Cloud-Piercing Bamboo Shoots, there are often many more juvenile Cloud-Piercing Bamboo Shoots.]
[After all, once the cloud-piercing bamboo shoot matures and pierces the sky, it also means its demise.]
[If it is not harvested within a day, this cloud-piercing bamboo shoot will transform into the essence of the earth, blessing the vegetation within a ten-mile radius.]
Therefore, at this time, most bamboo shoots will leave enough tender shoots to ripen again.
[and……]
