Chapter 21: Excitation

"Could it be that these husks were left behind by other furry beast slaves?" Yuan Ming looked around a few times, but didn't find anything special.

Suddenly, he stared at a large tree not far away.

On a slender branch of the tree, squatting sat a silver cat half a foot tall, which looked about the size of a domestic cat.

The cat's whole body hair is silvery-white, without a trace of miscellaneous hair, it looks very beautiful, one of its two eyes is golden yellow, and the other is amber, like two sparkling gems, looking at Yuan Ming.

The eyes of the two touched, and the silver cat immediately turned around and flew out, jumping quickly and abnormally on the trees, and disappeared in an instant.

"What to run, it won't eat you! This silver cat is also a little bolder. Yuan Ming didn't care about this, and continued to look around.

After a moment, he let out a soft sigh, stared at the grass not far away, and stopped.

On the ground, there was a shallow humanoid footprint, and the steps were still very new.

Yuan Ming groaned slightly and walked in the direction of the footprints.

The owner of the footprints had no intention of concealing his whereabouts, and it was not difficult to track them.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a hard rocky field appeared in front of him, where the footprints came to an abrupt end and lost their tracks.

Yuan Ming frowned, remained silent for a long time, and continued to move forward.

When you walk out of this rocky area, the vision ahead is bright, and a vast green lake appears.

The area of this lake is not large, about a dozen acres, it looks calm, the surrounding area is full of weeds that are tall and tall, it is obviously summer at the moment, but the temperature near the lake is significantly lower than in the jungle.

Yuan Ming came to the lake and squatted down, touched the lake water with his hand, and a refreshing chill penetrated through.

At this moment, the grass on the side "rattled", and a silver shadow flew out.

Yuan Ming just made a head-on attack, but when he saw it clearly, he was slightly surprised.

This silver figure was nothing else, it was the silver cat I met not long ago, and at this time it was holding a black thing in its mouth and its tail was cocked.

Seeing Yuan Ming, the silver cat seemed to be frightened, and immediately turned around and got into the grass again, but the black thing in its mouth fell down.

"It's this silver cat again." Yuan Ming took two quick steps forward, but the weeds were too high, and as soon as the silver cat entered it, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and immediately disappeared.

He sighed with some regret, speaking of which, he still likes the handsome silver cat, if he can catch and domesticate it, he can also tease and relieve boredom after cultivation.

Yuan Ming continued to move forward, suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked back a few steps, picked up an object from the ground, it was the black thing that the cat had just held, and took it to his eyes and looked at it slightly.

This thing looks as if it is a piece of leather with delicate patterns depicted on it, and it is definitely artificially made.

"There will never be such a thing in this deep mountain and old forest, could it be that someone left it?" As soon as Yuan Ming thought of this, he hurriedly went to the grass where the silver cat sprang out to look for it, but found nothing.

He carefully examined the black leather in his hand again, brought it to his nose and sniffed it.

A fishy smell came to the nostrils, but it was not the fishy smell of the animal's mouth, but a smell similar to the rotting of aquatic plants.

Yuan Ming turned his eyes to the turquoise lake, and then searched the lake, and soon found something.

On the wet soil by a lake, there are a few shallow cat's paw prints.

Yuan Ming followed the paw prints and pushed aside a lush grass nearby, his pupils shrunk slightly.

In front of him was a tall corpse, the upper half of the body was almost bones, and the lower half of the body was embedded in the mud of the lake, obviously dead for a long time, the clothes on the body were soaked, and the upper body was wearing a black leather coat, and the silver cat was holding the fragments of the leather coat.

Yuan Ming's gaze fell on the waist of the corpse, where a black animal skin was entangled, which looked like a fur animal skin.

He crouched down next to the corpse, reached out and fiddled with it, and untied the black hide.

This thing was completely different from his white ape skin, with no hair on its body, covered with dull white lines, and its back was covered with gelatinous matter similar to scales, which seemed to be the skin of some aquatic beast.

The rest of the hide was largely undamaged, except for a palm-sized tear on its back, which seemed to have been pierced by some sharp weapon.

Yuan Ming carefully pulled the body out of the mud, and several ribs in the heart of his back were broken, which should have been fatally injured by something attacking from behind.

He searched near the body for a while, but found no other clues, and the man's blood bag was not seen.

"It seems that eighty percent of this person did not die from the beast, but was killed by other furry beast slaves." A chill inexplicably swept through Yuan Ming's heart.

The furry beast slave is both a beast and a slave.

Trapped in 100,000 mountains, the weak eat the strong, the survival of the fittest, when you stare at the prey, how can you not be the prey in the eyes of others?

"By the way, Elder Huhuo once vaguely mentioned that these furry animal skins are things that Biluo Cave has taken a lot of effort to refine, and they are quite precious, and each animal skin has a mana mark inside, once the furry beast slave dies, the sect will send someone to follow the mark to recover the animal skin, why don't they take this piece?" Yuan Ming suddenly remembered something and was very puzzled.

He looked at the crack of the black animal skin, thoughtfully, pinched the trick to remove the white ape's transformation, and used mana to inject it into the black animal skin, urging the cloak technique, but the animal skin did not move.

"It seems that it's broken, so no one came to take it away, it's been a waste of so much time." Yuan Ming muttered to himself, threw away the black animal skin, and turned to leave.

But after a few steps, he seemed to think of something, and took the black beast leather again, and walked towards the woods by the lake, and soon came to a hidden place.

Yuan Ming sat on the ground, spread the animal skin in front of him, and then summoned the mysterious incense burner.

It was only when his white ape skin touched the incense burner that there was a slight change, and it is still unknown whether it could have had some effect on the black skin.

Of course, he didn't expect the censer to restore the black hide, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about the cyan incense burner.

Yuan Ming placed the incense burner on the animal skin, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, the mysterious incense burner suddenly lit up, and a stream of blue light came out from above, with a warm air flow into the black animal skin.

The dull white lines on the surface of the black animal skin, after the blue light blended in, spread out like a river entering a canal, and everywhere it passed, the originally dull lines became brighter, and the whole black animal skin trembled gently.

The blue light soon flowed all over the hide, converging towards the crack in the back, where the white veins were unusually dense, as if it was an important node.

With such a place destroyed, it is no wonder that the animal skin is completely useless.

The blue light surged around the crack, where the white lines flickered, and then a somewhat blurred phantom appeared from the crack in the hide, looking like a big head, a round body, hands and feet were peeled off, it was a toad.

"What is this? Could it be the soul of a toad beast? My white ape skin has also shown a white ape phantom under the influence of the incense burner before, and it seems that the fur animal skin contains the soul of the beast. Yuan Ming said secretly.

The phantom of the toad gradually solidified in the blue light, and after making a "croak" sound, it disappeared into the rupture in a flash, and disappeared without a trace.

With a soft "snort", the white lines around the crack suddenly stretched out like a living thing, bypassing the crack and connecting together again.

"It can still be like this!" Yuan Ming was surprised and delighted.

As soon as those white lines were connected, a slight aura fluctuation appeared on the entire black animal skin, which was obviously completely repaired.

Not only that, but the black animal skin has a new look, and the natural patterns on it are much clearer, as if they have just been peeled off, just like the white ape skin after being affected by the incense burner.

Yuan Ming used mana to inject into the black animal skin, urging the draping technique.

Black animal skin wrapped around his body like a living thing, covering all parts of his body, and he quickly completed his transformation.

His whole body was covered in black animal skins, his back was covered with bulging black bumps, and he looked very strong, with webbed membranes growing between the fingers of his hands, and the same between his toes, but his eyes were hanged a lot.

Yuan Ming put away the incense burner and came to the lake to take a look at the water, he looked very much like a humanoid toad at the moment.

"No wonder Fang just heard some strange screams, it turned out to be Zhang Toad Skin. At the beginning, I was aggrieved enough to get a white ape skin with no attack power, but I didn't expect that there were people who were worse than me, what can a toad do? Yuan Ming looked at the ugly image in the lake and said a little speechlessly.

Yuan Ming moved his body, sensing the ability of the toad after incarnation.

He only felt a faint surge of air in his chest, and the entire abdominal cavity seemed to have become much larger, and each breath was much deeper than before, and the time for ventilation was getting longer and longer.

Yuan Ming tried his best to take a deep breath, and the air rolled into his body, and his abdomen and stomach continued to bulge, and soon he was like a woman who was pregnant for ten months.

However, he didn't feel uncomfortable, and stood still with bated breath.

A full quarter of an hour passed, and Yuan Ming still didn't feel the slightest feeling of depression, and he was still able to move freely.

He jumped into the lake and dived to the bottom.

The undulating surface of the lake quickly subsided, and everything returned to calm.

After another quarter of an hour, there was a "bang" on the other side of the lake, and Yuan Ming's figure came out and went ashore.

There was a flash of excitement in his eyes, the toad skin was enough to keep him breathing for two quarters of an hour.

Ulu once mentioned that there are places in the depths of the 100,000 mountains that will be filled with a highly poisonous miasma, and with this toad skin, in case of misfortune, at least enough time can escape.

In addition, swimming in the water is quite fast after turning into a toad, which can be regarded as a good means of escape.

Compared to the toad's ease in the water, its mobility on land is much worse, and it can only walk by jumping a little awkwardly, and its attack ability is almost non-existent, at least he has not yet discovered it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the brother who used the toad as the incarnation of the coat.

Yuan Ming pinched the trick to lift the toad transformation and carefully put away the black animal skin.

The combat power of the black toad is far inferior to the white ape's transformation at present, but in a specific environment, it may be of great use.

However, the biggest takeaway today is that he has a better understanding of the cyan incense burner.

It seems that this mysterious incense burner can somehow repair the broken hides, and perhaps also stimulate some of the skin's potential abilities, which can be used in the future.
