Heaven-made Ring

With his experience from the first try, it was much easier to test it out, but Tian Cheng was still busy during midnight before he finished concocting the second plan. Unfortunately, it was another failed experiment. The clear blue color and the faint fragrance did not appear again, but this time, it was not a grayish-black colour, but completely grey. The aura of calmness was getting stronger and stronger. Tian Cheng had probably guessed that the experiment would fail, but he did not expect this result. He fell asleep with a smile on his face, ready to prepare for tomorrow's training. But during the process of the experiment, Tian Cheng took a little while to do one thing, and that was to place the rat trap.    

    

The next day, as usual, Tian Cheng woke up early, went up the mountain, and collected his prey.    

    

"I guess in a five to six kilometer radius, there won't be many marmot. I've also caught quite a few myself, but it's not bad this time. We only took three cages and there's already two marmot. I wonder if we'll get a fourth one." With three cages in his hands, Tian Cheng quickly arrived at the fourth cage's location, which was also the furthest away from the hunting grounds.    

    

"Hmm? "What's going on?" Tian Cheng looked at the pile of hearts in front of him and asked doubtfully. He picked up a steel pole that was half of its length from the ground and examined it carefully. There were more than a dozen of similar iron rods lying on the ground. Clearly, this was the "corpse" of the cage.    

    

"Wait," Tian Cheng suddenly thought of something, and his face changed, "I remember the last time it was in this area, there was also a cage destroyed to such a state. Last time, I didn't think much of it, I just thought it was done by a stronger Magical Beast, but it doesn't look like it was that simple!"    

    

Looking at this iron rod, Tian Cheng seemed to have realized something, and his expression changed from suspicious to shocked, "Right, as long as we can find that cage last time, it will be enough." Even though so many days had passed since the last incident, Tian Cheng was able to quickly arrive at the scene with his extraordinary memory. It's clearly here, why did it disappear? " After searching around him a few more times, Tian Cheng became more and more nervous the more he searched. In the end, he stopped at his original place and started to think without moving.    

    

"Look at the broken wound on the metal pole, it doesn't look like it was broken by some Magical Beast, but more like it was bitten by something."    

    

"The cage from last time was also in the same situation. That further confirmed that it was not caused by the Magical Beast's attack, and the remaining remains are gone again."    

    

"Then let's be sure, this cage was created by a Magical Beast, and it was the same one twice, then what kind of Magical Beast would eat this useless metal?"    

    

"Gold-eating Magical Beast!" Tian Cheng shouted out without thinking. His brain quickly displayed some of the introductions that his grandfather had told him about the Gold-eating Magical Beast.    

    

It could be said that they were heaven defying existences, because they did not need to be like the other Magical Beast s, who could either undergo special cultivation or endless slaughter to increase their own strength. Golden Magical Beast s, on the other hand, only needed to continuously eat, as long as there was enough metal of sufficient level for them to eat, they could limitlessly increase their strength. However, as their level increased, the required metal grade was definitely the best of the best, so it was rare to hear of Golden Magical Beast s that had advanced to the Divine level in the past few thousand years. However, even if its level was not high, its strength was not to be underestimated. Within the same level, it was definitely an invincible existence. It gathered the strongest defense and the strongest attack as one. Many Magical Beast that were a few levels higher than them did not dare to challenge them.    

    

The first Gold Devouring Magical Beast was known as the "King of the Desert", the "King of the Vajra Scorpion". It had a similar appearance to normal scorpions and was slightly larger in size. It belonged to the group of Magical Beast. Ordinary King Kong Scorpion was around the Sixth Grade when it was around the second, third, or fourth stage. Many of the people who had walked across the desert had a change in their expressions. In their words, there was no other way to describe it other than 'terrifying'. Their sensitivity to metal had reached an unbelievable level. Even if you hid a gold coin in your crotch, it would still be easy for him to find it. However, they were only interested in metals and weren't very keen on killing people. Occasionally, when they encountered those "stubborn people" who didn't want to hand over their weapons, they wouldn't mind starting a war. However, they could only survive in the desert, which was extremely hot and cold. Exiting the desert meant death, and this was one of the main reasons why even the highest level they could only advance to Sixth Grade.    

    

The two beaks, which were comparable to divine weapons, were like metal ores and the nightmare of intruders. No matter how hard the metal was, as weak as tofu in front of its sharp beaks, the enemies who offended them would usually only have one result, and that was that they would die without an intact corpse. Unlike the "King Kong Scorpion", who was only interested in metal, it also had the same interest in bloodlust. They were of the same size as marmot s and belonged to the group of Magical Beast s. Ordinary Ants could reach the fifth stage, but they were famous for their numbers and their strength.    

    

When they were young, they had the same appearance as normal marmot. However, as they advanced, their size would slowly shrink, and their fur would gradually change to a golden color. It was said that when they reached the Divine Beast level, they would become "cute" with a body that was not even as long as a hand plate. There were basically no restrictions as they traveled the entire continent, searching for the food it needed. There were already three Element Ancestor s and a Advanced Magical Instructor s that fought against a level eight Holy Beast, killing the Devouring Gold Rat in the end with three injuries. This was also the only time that a human and a Devouring Gold Rat competed. Very few people had ever seen a Devouring Gold Rat, and not many would be able to see a high rank, and not many would be able to recognize a low rank Devouring Gold Rat. As a result, Devouring Gold Rat became the contract beast of countless people's dreams.     

    

"It appeared in this place and it ate metal. Judging from its appetite, it shouldn't be much. It's very likely to be a Goldbiter Rat! But grandfather's knowledge is limited, what if there are a few other Gold Devouring Magical Beast? "    

    

"Forget it, let's not care about that anymore. Hur Hur!" Since you're treating my cage as a snack, then just wait for me to make you a snack! " Looking at the iron rod in his hand, Tian Cheng laughed sinisterly.    

    

What was it? The mystery was about to unravel.
