Chapter 160: Ch 160- Secret realm (6)

Five minutes before the Golden Mouse reached Mo Yuan’s location, Mo Yuan was still crashing through the forest.

The force behind that kick was terrifying. He could feel several of his ribs breaking as his body flew through the trees.

His clothes were torn apart and countless trees were smashed into pieces as his body continued flying forward but only a few seconds later, his Regeneration Talent activated.

The broken ribs quickly healed and the pain disappeared almost instantly.

Boom!

Mo Yuan finally crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater.

He slowly stood up and looked at the destruction around him. He did not care about the ruined forest. His mind was focused on something else.

’That talent... Shadow Walk.’

A serious expression appeared on his face.

This was the second Exceptional Grade special talent he had seen.

The first was Ming Yue’s Exceptional Enlightenment and just like Exceptional Enlightenment, Shadow Walk was an extremely powerful talent.

Mo Yuan had not even realized when the bull’s attack arrived.

The only reason he had been able to react within those few microseconds and activate Copy and Paste was because of his Exceptional Enlightenment Talent.

His thinking speed had become terrifyingly fast.

Without it, he might not have even realized that he was being attacked before the kick landed.

Mo Yuan took a deep breath and looked down at his chest.

His clothes were completely torn, revealing his skin underneath.

However, his body was perfectly fine and there was not even a mark left on his ribs.

Mo Yuan sat down cross-legged and began thinking carefully.

He had never imagined that he could be defeated so easily.

He had entered the Secret Realm with great confidence. He believed that as long as he encountered a Peak Realm beast, he would be able to deal with it without much trouble but now, that confidence had been completely shattered.

’How am I supposed to defeat that beast?’

That was the most important question in his mind.

He could not simply leave the Shadow Bull alone.

Those Primordial Qi Stones were too important to him.

They were the only way he could currently upgrade his Copy and Paste Talent and unlock Talent Fusion.

’The only thing I can do right now is wait for my Copy and Paste cooldown to end.’

Mo Yuan’s eyes became serious.

’After that, I’ll copy its Shadow Walk Talent. Once I have that talent, I should have a chance to fight it.’

That Exceptional Grade talent was something he absolutely had to obtain.

Mo Yuan already had a Standard Grade Shadow Talent, so he could roughly guess what Shadow Walk could do.

’It must allow the bull to hide itself inside the shadows and move without being detected.’

’Even my Origin Sense couldn’t find it.’

Mo Yuan frowned.

The most troublesome part was not the bull’s strength.

It was the fact that he could not detect it.

As long as the Shadow Bull could hide itself from his senses, it could attack him whenever it wanted.

Mo Yuan then suddenly thought of the Golden Mouse.

’Is that mouse still alive?’

He could not help but wonder.

There were still fifteen days before his Copy and Paste Talent recovered. During that time, he could explore the Secret Realm and search for other treasures.

And if the Golden Mouse was alive, its Treasure Finder Talent could make finding treasures much easier.

Just as Mo Yuan was thinking about this, he suddenly heard movement nearby.

Footsteps approached through the forest.

Then a familiar voice entered his ears.

"I told you multiple times that the bull was different but you didn’t listen. Humans really are dumb."

"Hehe, now let this king take your treasure!"

Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow.

A moment later, the Golden Mouse appeared.

When it got close enough, it finally saw Mo Yuan sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Mo Yuan looked at it and smiled.

"Oh? So you think I’m dumb?"

The Golden Mouse’s eyes instantly widened.

Its entire body stiffened.

"Senior!"

In the next moment, it rushed toward Mo Yuan and immediately began begging for its life.

"Senior, I was only joking!"

"How could you die?"

"Of course you wouldn’t die! Senior is so powerful!"

The Golden Mouse began shamelessly flattering him but inside, it was already crying.

’Holy shit! How is this human still alive?!’

Its greed had completely blinded it.

If it had not wanted Mo Yuan’s treasure, it would have already run away.

Instead, it had actually come back and delivered itself straight to death’s door.

Looking at the Golden Mouse begging for its life in front of him, Mo Yuan could not help but think.

’What a silly mouse.’

He shook his head and looked at it.

"Okay, okay. Stop this."

Mo Yuan slowly stood up from his cross-legged position.

The Golden Mouse immediately let out a sigh of relief when it saw that Mo Yuan did not seem to have any intention of killing it.

Mo Yuan took out a new set of clothes from his storage space and quickly changed. His previous clothes had been completely ruined by the Shadow Bull’s attack.

The Golden Mouse sat obediently nearby, not daring to make a single unnecessary move.

Once Mo Yuan finished changing, he looked toward it.

"Now, it’s your turn to be useful."

Hearing this, the Golden Mouse immediately became energetic.

It patted its small chest with both paws and proudly said, "Yes, Senior! Just tell me how I can help you!"

Mo Yuan nodded.

"Tell me about some good treasures in this realm."

The Golden Mouse’s eyes immediately lit up.

"Senior, if you’re asking about treasures, then you can definitely count on me!"

It puffed out its chest proudly.

"I have lived in this Secret Realm for many years. There are very few places I don’t know about."

Mo Yuan became interested.

"Then tell me about treasures that can increase someone’s talent."

The Golden Mouse paused.

Mo Yuan continued, "Or perhaps something that can help someone obtain a new talent."

The Golden Mouse’s eyes suddenly became serious.

"Then, Senior..."

It slowly smiled.

"I know exactly what you’re looking for."
