"Ugh..."
In front of Ouyang Zixin lay a Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast. The most precious feature of this Mystical Beast was its three purple eyes, which were said to be excellent materials for embedding in jewelry after refining.
"Hey, can you understand what I'm saying?" Ouyang Zixin squatted down in front of the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast with a hint of amusement. "Why are you so scared? I haven't hurt you."
Isn't it said that these Mystical Beasts are tyrannical at Lingchi Peak? Even if someone comes to hunt them, they shouldn't be this timid.
The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast didn't lift its head, and its whimpering sounded like it was begging for mercy, its whole body trembling continuously.
"Liu Ying, take one of its eyes and then let it go." Ouyang Zixin enjoyed the thrill of hunting, but she didn't want to kill indiscriminately. Since it had three eyes, taking just one shouldn't be too excessive.
"Yes, Miss." Liu Ying obeyed and stepped forward, preparing to knock the Mystical Beast unconscious before using her dual rings to take one of its eyes.
Just then, the previously whimpering Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast suddenly lifted its head as if it understood Ouyang Zixin's words, and its three eyes appeared somewhat moist.
"Cough, I only want one of your eyes. Why are you acting so pitiful? I never said I would kill you." Ouyang Zixin felt a bit uneasy under the gaze of the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast. Goodness, this Mystical Beast might have gained intelligence and was even pretending to be pitiful.
"Liu Ying, what are you waiting for? Just knock it out." Liu Lvy found it amusing as well; this Mystical Beast was actually begging like a human. If it could speak, that would be even more interesting.
As Liu Ying prepared to act, the crouching Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast suddenly jumped up and easily dodged Liu Ying's hand. Liu Ying had let her guard down seeing its fearful demeanor, and now that it had evaded her grasp, she felt a bit annoyed and immediately summoned her dual rings to capture it.
"Ugh, ugh..." The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast seemed anxious when Liu Ying summoned her Mystical Artifact. It kept howling and moved faster on its feet, dodging left and right to avoid being touched by Liu Ying.
"Miss, I think this beast is ungrateful; let me kill it." Liu Lvy felt displeased seeing the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast teasing Liu Ying. The Miss had kindly decided to spare it, yet it was so ungrateful.
"Wait." Ouyang Zixin suddenly sensed something was off and gestured for Liu Ying to come back while she fixed her gaze on the Mystical Beast. What exactly was it trying to express with those sounds?
Seeing that Ouyang Zixin had called Liu Ying back, the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast obediently stayed in place but kept bobbing its head while continuously making whimpering sounds.
"What do you want to tell me?" Ouyang Zixin showed interest; it seemed that this Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast was extraordinary.
Upon hearing Ouyang Zixin's question, the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast actually nodded and continued to bob its head. Due to its short front paws, it looked as if it wanted to point something out to Ouyang Zixin.
"Quite clever," Yun Tianmo remarked coldly after observing for a while, having guessed the meaning of the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast. A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As soon as Yun Tianmo finished speaking, the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast seemed to be frozen in place, its body stiffening as it stopped bobbing its head.
"So you were afraid of him," Ouyang Zixin realized, enlightened. She thought to herself, how could a mid-to-high level Mystical Beast be so timid? It had just been photographed and was already "begging for mercy." The real culprit was this big iceberg beside her.
After Ouyang Zixin's "communication" with the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast, she finally understood what the Mystical Beast meant. It was willing to voluntarily offer one of its eyes, specifically the one that had been refined for the longest time, located right on its forehead.
"Is there really such a good thing?" Ouyang Zixin felt delighted. The books said that if the eye of a Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast was forcibly taken, it would at most be a top-quality decoration, and if lucky, it might retain a bit of Mysterious Energy. However, if the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast willingly offered its eye and found a good artifact refiner to properly refine it, it could potentially become a high-level Mystical Artifact.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu did not understand what Ouyang Zixin had been mumbling about in front of the Mystical Beast for so long. They secretly glanced at Yun Tianmo and were shocked to see a hint of a smile on his face—oh my god, the Ink King can smile?!
"How can I trust you? What if you're just trying to escape?"
"Woo, woo, woo..."
"You are just an intermediate Mystical Beast about to advance to a higher level; if he doesn't help me catch you, won't I have to put in extra effort?"
"Woo woo..."
"Yun Tianmo, it says it's willing to offer one eye. It also said it won't try to escape; if it does run away, will you help me catch it?" Ouyang Zixin turned back with a smile at Yun Tianmo.
Yun Tianmo was taken aback; this girl could communicate with mystical beings?
"Hey, Yun Tianmo, say something," Ouyang Zixin urged when she saw Yun Tianmo silent again.
Standing against the light, Yun Tianmo's expression was unclear to the crouching Ouyang Zixin as she stared at him, waiting for his response.
"It wouldn't dare." Yun Tianmo had naturally heard the saying about the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast's eyes, and now that it wanted to show this goodwill, he would indulge it.
"Haha, you said it, so I will believe it this once. If it tries to run away, you have to help me catch it," Ouyang Zixin said, her rosy cheeks shining in the sunlight, her eyes filled with eagerness to please.
The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast clearly understood Yun Tianmo's words; its body trembled involuntarily, and then it began to mumble some incantation. A beam of light shot out from the eye on its forehead, piercing through the dense leaves and shooting straight into the sky.
As the beam gradually faded, a small eye emerged, hovering above its head. The remaining two Purple-Eyed Beasts flickered their eyes, glancing at Yun Tianmo and then at Ouyang Zixin, seemingly contemplating who to give its eye to.
"Beautiful!" Ouyang Zixin exclaimed, reaching out to take the Purple-Eyed Beast.
However, the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast actually stepped back, causing Ouyang Zixin to miss. It then looked towards Yun Tianmo, seemingly deciding to give the Purple-Eyed Beast to him.
"Are you backing out? Quickly give me the Purple-Eyed Beast," Ouyang Zixin said angrily as she stepped forward again.
Seeing that the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast was not backing out but rather intending to give the Purple-Eyed Beast to him, Yun Tianmo's expression darkened instantly, a cold aura suddenly rising around him.
"Woo..." The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast was clearly startled; it did not understand why this man did not want its gift. Did he not know how precious the Purple-Eyed Beast he was offering was?
The Purple-Eyed Beast, which had been flying halfway, paused for a moment before changing direction and flying towards Ouyang Zixin. It then quietly landed in her palm, its dazzling purple light momentarily overwhelming before disappearing.
The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast timidly glanced at Yun Tianmo, hesitated for a while, and then turned to leave.
