BXBX NOVEL Chapter 148 - Hard Eared Limber Mice?
Shirong opened his eyes and took the first glance at the green crystal spear and slightly nodded his head before taking a look at the reason behind the disturbance. It was caused by none other than the small red furred beasts that were circling around the formation.
"Pests!" He said in frustration before scanning them quickly with his spirit sense.
He found them to be in the mid stage of the qi refining realm, which was a bit strange as there should not be many of those levels of beasts in the third ring.
"May as well take care of them…" Shirong muttered to himself before picking up the green crystal spear.
Once Lin Wu was in the hands of Shirong, he was free to do whatever he wanted.
"System, scan the beasts." Lin Wu ordered straightaway.
He was interested in their ability to ignore the sound waves and thought that perhaps it could come in handy.

TARGET SELECTED: Scanning.
SCAN COMPETED: Target identified.
TARGET: Hard Eared Limber Mice
INFO: These are a type of spirit beasts that live in large groups that are of hundreds at the very least and about ten thousand for the big ones. Their group size depends on the cultivation base of their king beast. A Peak stage qi refining realm Hard Eared Limber Mice can command a group of about thousand beasts with ease, while one at the early stage core condensation realm will have a group with ten thousand beasts.
They communicate in a unique manner, which is by rapidly tapping their legs against the ground and transmitting vibrations through them. The leader of the group can control his subordinates even from a distance of hundred kilometers.
These beasts live in underground burrows usually and come out to search for food. They can eat a lot of things and are even able to consume ores that are rich in spirit qi.
——
"Oh damn! Does Shirong even know what these beasts are? Seeing that there are tens of them around, the rest of them should have been nearby, but they\'re not." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
He looked at the map window and saw that only the beasts that were shown nearby were present, while the rest were all too far away from there. It didn\'t seem like there were any more Hard Eared Limber Mice hidden here.
\'Wonder why they came here though?\' Lin Wu thought while his body extended like a whip and ripped apart the bodies of a few Hard Eared Limber Mice.
~Scree~
A screeching noise was heard as the Hard Eared Limber Mice screamed out together in pain. The battle didn\'t even last a minute as Shirong made quick work of them. After all of them were dead, he went to each of the corpses or the remnant of corpses so that the spear could absorb the spirit qi.
~huu~
Shirong let out a breath of comfort as the liquid spirit qi poured into his body from the green crystal spear. Soon the process was complete, and he went back to sit on the hollow trunk and recover. Lin Wu was also placed back on his side on the soft cloth.
Lin Wu waited for an hour before deciding to move. While he had absorbed the spirit qi and vital energy from the Hard Eared Limber Mice. He still wasn\'t able to get their bloodline data. He decided that he should at least get it while the corpses are still in front of him.
He took one last look at Shirong before crawling away silently. One by one each of the dried out corpses were devoured by him and when he had finished all twenty six corpses, he had not only obtained the raw bloodline data but had also gained a bit more vital energy.
~Ding~
——
OBTAINED RAW BLOODLINE DATA: Hard Eared Limber Mice
VITAL ENERGY OBTAINED: 1371 units
VITAL ENERGY STORAGE: 15,069 units
——
"Nice!" Lin Wu chuckled after seeing the amount of Vital energy storage he now had.
He returned back to the position beside Shirong and opened the system interface.
"System, analyze this bloodline data and see what useful things can be obtained and if it is compatible or not." Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
——
ANALYZING BLOODLINE DATA: Hard Eared Limber Mice
COMPARING DATA: 40% Compatibility detected
INNATE SKILL DETECTED: Sound Resistance
——
"Alright, 40% compatibility seems good enough, but I don\'t think it can be used yet, can it?" Lin Wu said after reading the notifications.
"System, what else would be needed to raise the Compatibility?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: Additional bloodline data that is complementary to the Hard Eared Limber Mice can be obtained to extrapolate the results. Or the host can consume the king beast of the Hard Eared Limber Mice and obtain a higher quality bloodline data from it.
It is likely that a Hard Eared Limber Mice king would be enough to raise the compatibility, and there is even a chance that additional innate skills may be revealed.
——
"Hmm… so my best chance is to find their king, huh? But that would be a bit difficult, and I would have to go out of my way to find it. I guess I\'ll just obtain more complementary bloodline data and wait for the system to extrapolate it on its own." Lin Wu thought to himself.
Now that he had gotten a bit more of the information, he decided to check up on his two new servants that had gotten quite far from him.
