Ten minutes later, Ai found another treasure.

Ice Shards!

It was a resin crystal taken from a tree trunk that was more than 500 years old. It looked like crushed sugar and was fragrant and cool. It contained rich spiritual essence and had the effect of calming one's mind. It was a very precious spice.

Many cultivators at the Bright Aperture Stage would light up a piece of Ice Shard when they cultivated. While calming their minds, it could also increase their cultivation efficiency.

50g of Ice Shards was worth as much as 50 merit points in the Merit Hall.

As for the piece that Lin Shen had found, it was at least 350 to 400g, which was equivalent to 300 to 400 merit points!

Without a doubt, it was his greatest gain since he entered the mountain!

"What a treat!"

Lin Shen's smile widened.

Seeing Lin Shen's happy expression, Ai asked curiously, "Is this thing very precious? How many cans of food can it be exchanged for?"

Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh. Just as he was about to answer, he heard a strange rustling sound.

Instantly, Lin Shen tensed up and turned to look in the direction of the noise, a.s.suming a vigilant posture.

In the next second, a white creature rushed out of the bushes in front of him.

When he took a closer look, it was a white rabbit.

The rabbit was clearly heavily injured and was covered in blood. There were many wounds on its body, and it seemed to be inflicted by some beast claw. It was a shocking sight.

The white rabbit didn't expect there to be someone outside the bushes.

It was stunned for a moment. When it realized what it was seeing, it wanted to escape. However, it fell to the ground after a few steps. It twitched a few times before it stopped moving.

Was it dead?

Lin Shen was surprised.

After some thought, he picked up a stone from the ground and injected spiritual essence into it before throwing it at the white rabbit.

The stone tore through the air and hit the white rabbit like a bullet. A b.l.o.o.d.y hole appeared, but the white rabbit didn't react at all.

Lin Shen still didn't let down his guard. He secretly activated Forbidden Golden Armor and walked forward to observe the rabbit. A moment later, he finally confirmed the white rabbit was really dead.

Thud.

Ai jumped down from Lin Shen's shoulder and landed beside the white rabbit. She was a little intimidated by the miserable scene.

"That's cruel. Which bad guy did this?"

"Judging by the claw marks and the residual beast energy, it should be a spiritual beast transformed from a ferocious beast like a tiger or leopard."

Lin Shen flipped through the white rabbit's corpse and was perplexed.

This white rabbit didn't look like an ordinary animal.

In fact, it was impossible for ordinary animals to escape from the claws of a spiritual beast. Moreover, the rabble could still move after suffering such serious injuries.

Suddenly, Lin Shen thought of a kind of spiritual beast and took out a small knife from his storage jade plate. He cut open the fur on the white rabbit's abdomen and reached inside to search.

"What are you doing?" Ai asked curiously.

"To verify something."

Lin Shen replied casually. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he retracted his palm.

There were two b.a.l.l.s of b.l.o.o.d.y internal organs on his hand.

Surprisingly, the internal organs, which should have been very soft, made a crisp sound like metal colliding.

"I was right!"

Lin Shen's eyes lit up.

"This is not an ordinary rabbit, but a Cunning Hare!"

"Cunning Hare?" Ai asked. "What's that?"

"It's a type of spiritual beast that looks very similar to rabbits. The male ones are yellow, and the female ones are white. It feeds on pills, stones, and metal. Over time, its internal organ will become a metal of better quality than black iron. It can be used to refine sabers, swords, and enchanted armaments. It can greatly increase the weapon's sharpness!"

Ai was confused. She only knew this rabbit seemed to be worth a lot of cans of food.

Lin Shen stared at the internal organs in his hand.

He had found information on Cunning Hare in the Nine Yang Academy's library.

According to the description in the information, the higher the quality of the stones and metal the Cunning Hare ate, the closer the color of the internal organs was to black, and the more precious it would be.

The internal organs of the Cunning Hare in front of him were completely black and of unquestionable superior quality. It was obvious the rabbit had eaten a large number of precious stones and metal when it was alive.

If he was right, there must be a rare mineral vein near this Cunning Hare's nest!

Lin Shen grew excited.

A rare metal vein, even if it was only a small-scale one, was invaluable!

Even if he didn't have the time and energy to exploit the mine, he could still obtain a huge reward if he reported it to the sect!

Lin Shen didn't expect to make such a rewarding discovery on his first training trip.

It was better to act than to be tempted. Lin Shen immediately put away Cunning Hare's internal organ and followed the path that Cunning Hare had come from, preparing to search all the way.

However, just as he pa.s.sed through the bushes, he heard a deafening roar from his right. Immediately, a gust of evil wind blew his way. The howling wind stirred up a large number of fallen leaves, like a thick white python crashing toward him.

In a flash, Lin Shen quickly put Ai into the Beast Taming Pouch without thinking. At the same time, he opened his mouth and made a dragon roar.

The violent wind and the sound wave collide heavily in the void. With a bang, they both exploded and turned into airwaves that spread out.

"ROAR!"

A huge and ferocious figure roared and jumped out of the airwaves. It stopped seven to eight meters away from Lin Xiu and stared at him covetously.

It was a terrifying giant tiger.

The giant tiger was as black as ink, but its pupils were completely white. The whiteness in its eyes contrasted with the darkness on its body, making a terrifying sight.

"White-eyed spirit tiger!"

Lin Shen's heart skipped a beat.

There were many demon tribes in the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range, and their strength varied. However, it was publicly acknowledged that the Tiger, Python, Bear, Fox, and Eagle Tribes were the strongest.

The white-eyed spirit tiger was the most well-known spiritual beast in the Tiger Tribe.

This kind of spiritual beast had the strength of the Ascension Stage when it reached adulthood. Not only did it have a strong body and sharp claws, but it could also stir up violent winds when it ran. At the Ascension Stage, it had a trace of wind control ability that only Enlightening Stage spiritual beasts had. Its bloodline was very powerful.

Among the few missions that Lin Shen had accepted this time, one of them was to kill a white-eyed spirit tiger.

Lin Shen had wanted to find traces of the white-eyed spirit tiger, but he didn't expect the beast to jump out on his own.

At this moment, Lin Shen suddenly noticed that the white-eyed spirit tiger's head tilted slightly as if the tiger was looking at the bushes behind him.

Lin Shen's heart stirred as his gaze landed on the bloodstains on the claws of the tiger. He immediately came to a realization.

So the tiger was chasing after that Cunning Hare!

After understanding this, Lin Shen wasn't shocked but delighted.

The white-eyed spirit tiger was worth a minor merit. Since it had come knocking on his door, he definitely couldn't let it go!

Lin Shen's eyes flashed as he brazenly charged at the tiger.

White-eyed spirit tigers were ferocious beasts. They were powerful and had a domineering position on this mountain. They had killed and repelled countless human cultivators.

Seeing that the human cultivator in front of him actually dared to take the initiative to attack, the tiger was instantly furious. It roared and pounced forward fiercely, swinging its claws at Lin Ze's head.

Lin Shen didn't dodge. He let the tiger's sharp claws grab his chest and abdomen as he slapped out with his palm.

When his Forbidden Golden Armor was still at Beginner, he could already withstand the attack of an enchanted armament like the Three Yang Talisman Sword head-on. Now, Lin Shen's Forbidden Golden Armor had already reached Proficient, and its defense had increased by more than a few times!

Although the claws of the tiger were incomparably sharp, they were still far inferior to the Three Suns Talisman Sword. When the claw landed on Lin Shen, it immediately let out a m.u.f.fled sound and couldn't advance an inch!

The tiger couldn't help but be stunned.

It had never seen a human cultivator so resistant to attacks.

While he was in a daze, Lin Shen's palm had already pressed heavily on its head.

Swoosh!

There was a burning sound like a piece of red iron pressing down on flesh.

The tiger let out a tragic howl as it retreated in fear. There was already a burning wound on its head, and one of its eyes was destroyed!

Lin Shen raised his eyebrows.

This tiger was much stronger than the spiritual beasts he had encountered previously. It was probably not far from the mid-stage of the Ascension Stage. Otherwise, how could it still scream so loudly after suffering a strike by Proficient Meltdown?

Lin Shen seized the opportunity to pursue the tiger. He made the move and charged toward the tiger like a gust of wind..
