Chapter 351: Feeding The Weasel?
While Lin Wu himself was less than three years old while being at the Nascent Soul realm, this was only because of the System. He really doubted if any other beast could compare with him.
Even a talented beast with a great bloodline might need over a hundred years to reach the Nascent Soul realm. But the Copper Hide Weasel had managed to do it in a quarter of that time.
‘Now that I think of it, the way the Copper Hide Weasel talks is similar to that of a child as seen in some Core condensation realm beasts and Qi refining realm beasts. So… if somehow the beast had progressed rapidly, it might make sense as to why it has the cultivation base so strong.’ Lin Wu thought.
He looked at the Copper Hide Weasel that was still biting onto his body without fearing him at all. Lin Wu had managed to make even the Silver Beak Sky Soar eagle with her superior bloodline wary of him.
But even then, this beast was fearless and did not react to his aura somehow. This was quite peculiar and unheard of to Lin Wu.
“Wait, don’t they say newborn calves are unafraid of tigers? I guess we can kinda consider this similar to that.” Lin Wu muttered to himself.
If Lin Wu really wanted to get rid of the Copper Hide Weasel, all he would need to do is to smash it into meat paste. But now that he had learned of its age and cultivation base, he knew there must be something more to it.
“Stop and listen to me! I’ll give you more food that you can actually eat.” Lin Wu spoke in a stern voice.
~Munch~
The Copper Hide Weasel kept on nibbling at Lin Wu’s crystallizing body while listening to him.
“Food? More?” The Copper Hide Weasel spoke.
“Yes! You like the crystals, right? Let me give you one that you can actually eat.” Lin Wu spoke before detaching a small part of the crystal from his body.
He had intentionally made this crystal weaker than those in his body so that the Beast could eat it.
“Take this,” Lin Wu spoke and shoved the crystal that was about the size of the beast’s paw.
To Lin Wu, who was so big, this was nothing and he could freely make more of them if he wanted to do so. He had obtained quite a bit of vital energy and spirit Qi in these few days at the Dread Coil Marsh.
If he truly got into a fight, he could pretty much keep on fighting non stop for over a month at full power and still be fine. His opponent though, would likely get tired and unable to act after a while.
Lin Wu could literally tire his enemies to death if he wanted to do so. This of course, was only valid if the enemies were of the same level as him or weaker. For those that were immensely strong like the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle, Lin Wu could only run away from them.
The Copper Hide Weasel stopped for a moment to look at the small crystal that Lin Wu had given and compared the two things. Both Lin Wu’s body and the small crystal seemed to be delicious to him and he wanted to eat it.
‘Hmm… seems like he’s still indecisive. Gonna needs some extras incentive.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
He poured some spirit Qi along with vital energy into the small crystal before forwarding it more towards the Copper Hide Weasel. The beast sniffed it for a second, finding it to be a lot more entrancing than before.
“Food! Mine!” The Copper Hide Weasel stated with excitement before grabbing at it.
~Crack~
The Copper Hide Weasel bit onto the crystal that Lin Wu had just given him and split it into two in one bite.
‘Boy… that was something.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
One had to know that even if Lin Wu had weakened the durability of the crystal, it would still be quite difficult for an average beast to damage it. Even some core condensation realm cultivators would find this hard to do so.
“Just as its data said… its teeth can cut though metal like mud.” Lin Wu muttered to himself.
As soon as the beast managed to get the first bite in, its eyes glowed with excitement.
~munch~
~munch~
~munch~
It happily started to nibble onto the crystal that Lin Wu had given it and quickly assimilated the spirit Qi and vital energy that was present in it. Lin Wu needed the beast to be in perfect condition or it would probably not speak properly.
He watched on as the beast finished the entire crystal after about ten minutes.
“MORE!” The Copper Hide Weasel said, while looking at Lin Wu with desiring eyes.
Lin Wu didn’t know what to feel about it. What he had just done could be said to be literally cutting’s one’s flesh to feed the others. Buddha had once done it to feed a hungry bird and here Lin Wu was replicating the same.
But now that he thought about it, the strangeness only increases even more.
“Only if you tell me about this Stone feather or about yourself, will I give you more.” Lin Wu spoke hurriedly while he still had the beast’s attention.
Lin Wu waved the stone feather around for the Copper Hide Weasel to see and the beast kept its eyes on it.
“I see feather in tree. I eat tree.” The Copper Hide Weasel said, after being silent for a bit.
“Huh?” Lin Wu couldn’t help but feel a bit dumbfounded by this.
“You ate the tree?” Lin Wu questioned to confirm.
“YES!” The Beast replied.
“You are everything on it too?” Lin Wu questioned again.
“Yes, me eat all tree!” The beast replied.
“Did you eat this feather too?” Lin Wu questioned, feeling anxious about the feather’s fate.
If the Feather was lost or eaten by the Cooper Hide Weasel, he didn’t know what he would do next.
