Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

“Alright, come in and sit down!”

Seeing that Gu Yuan had spoken frankly, and was even half an insider himself, Old One-Eye's attitude clearly softened a lot, and the look in his eyes towards Gu Yuan had less defensiveness.

Words can deceive people, but some things cannot.

Gu Yuan's Iron Tooth Rat was well-fed, with shiny fur and a chubby body, and it was unusually close to Gu Yuan. It was clear at a glance that Gu Yuan was a pet lover and hadn't mistreated it.

Although Old One-Eye was solitary and eccentric due to his years of dealing with snakes, he was exceptionally familiar and close to snakes.

He knew very well that these wild animals might be a bit dangerous, but they were often purer and simpler than people!

If you treat it well, it can feel it, and it will treat you well too.

Gu Yuan's treatment of the Iron Tooth Rat suggested that he was at least not a great villain.

“In my yard, I raise nineteen kinds of snakes.”

After the two sat down one after another, Old One-Eye answered Gu Yuan's question just now:

“These snakes are basically all caught by me from the mountains around Green Willow Town.”

“Some of these snakes are very poisonous, such as the Five-Step Snake, the Silver Ring Snake, the Iron Head Snake, the Bamboo Pit Viper, and the Crested Snake. The most powerful of these is the Crested Snake. Its venom is said to seal the throat upon contact with blood. Even a martial artist would die on the spot if bitten by this snake, being poisoned to death.”

As he spoke, Old One-Eye opened a snake jar next to him.

With a wave of his hand, a reddish-brown poisonous snake crawled out, winding its way up Old One-Eye's arm.

This snake had a slender body, especially on its head, where there was a bony protrusion resembling a cockscomb.

Hiss—

At this moment, it also discovered Gu Yuan, this uninvited guest, and raised its upper body, flicking its tongue, staring at him menacingly.

“Old sir, this snake of yours is well-raised.”

Gu Yuan sized up the Crested Snake and couldn't help but nod unconsciously.

Although he had never seen a Crested Snake before, he had raised two spirit pets after all, and he had some appreciation ability.

This snake's scales were dense, its aura was cold, and it carried a frightening baleful aura. Just being stared at by it gave one a creepy feeling, which was enough to show how dangerous it was.

Gu Yuan suspected that this snake's rank was at least Azure Elite level, the same rank as his Iron Tooth Rat.

It might even be a bit higher, comparable to the Ironback Centipede A Wu, a spirit beast of excellent quality!

If such a spirit pet was used in certain places, and played well, its effect would definitely be no worse than that of a peak martial artist!

Just like A Wu, who has now recovered from his injuries, he is Gu Yuan's trump card.

With A Wu around, Gu Yuan is full of confidence!

Even against a peak martial artist like Yang Han, he is not afraid!

It seemed that this Old One-Eye in Green Willow Town was probably a Pinduoduo version of a reclusive master.

As for the Crested Snake in front of him, Gu Yuan was a little tempted, but he also knew that this snake's strength lay in its venom, and other aspects might not be so outstanding. It wasn't the kind he wanted.

Moreover, A Wu's venom was definitely not inferior to this Crested Snake. Since the talents overlapped, it wouldn't be of much significance.

Seeing Gu Yuan's lack of interest, Old One-Eye was a little surprised. He stroked the Crested Snake's scales and continued:

“Most of the remaining snakes are more ordinary, and they also need to hibernate in winter. The snakes that don't hibernate include the White-Browed King Snake, the Red Flower Viper, the Black-Scaled Python, and the Big-Mouthed Snake. Some of these snakes are not very poisonous, but they are large in size and can strangle wild wolves. Some are good at hiding, their bodies hidden in the grass and trees, undetectable. Some are small in size, but their strangling power is very strong.”

Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly interjected: “Wait, old sir, what kind of snake is this small one with great strangling power that you mentioned?”

Old One-Eye put the Crested Snake back into the snake jar, got up, came to the yard, and lifted a piece of tile.

Soon, a gray-white strange snake crawled out of the jar.

This snake had a very strange appearance.

Its body was more than six feet long, but the thickest part of its body was only as thick as Gu Yuan's little finger.

Only its head was a circle larger than its slender body.

Overall, it looked like a hemp rope.

“This is the Big-Mouthed Snake.”

Old One-Eye explained: “Although this snake is non-toxic, it can swallow prey much larger than itself, and its strangling power is very strong. This one once strangled a wild rabbit into two pieces.”

“Two years ago, a hunter was entangled in the arm by a Big-Mouthed Snake. He couldn't break free at all. In the end, his companion had to smash the snake's head with a wood knife to save him. However, that arm was also twisted into a braid and was already useless. In the end, he had to cut it off.”

Gu Yuan listened, nodding repeatedly, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

Strong strangling ability, strong and resilient body, relying only on strangling to hunt for food, this Big-Mouthed Snake was exactly his type!

“Old sir, can you give me this snake?”

After pondering for a moment, Gu Yuan took out a few ingots of silver from his pocket: “The price is negotiable. If you are not satisfied with this money, I can add some more.”

“There is no need for money.”

Old One-Eye didn't even look at the silver in Gu Yuan's hand, waved his hand, and said listlessly: “What am I, an old undead, going to do with so much money?”

“I'm old and can't take care of these snakes. It will only be wronged if it stays here with me. If you like it, take it away. I only hope you can treat it better.”

“This…”

Gu Yuan naturally didn't want to take advantage of an old man. He originally intended to persuade him, but seeing Old One-Eye's lonely and desolate appearance, he ultimately didn't open his mouth.

For Old One-Eye, these snakes should be more like his friends and family. Giving money would be an insult to him.

Therefore, Gu Yuan repeatedly assured Old One-Eye that he would definitely treat this snake better.

Not long after, Gu Yuan came out of Old One-Eye's house holding a jar.

He returned to the room in the inn and closed the door tightly.

Gu Yuan opened the lid of the jar.

Taking advantage of the Big-Mouthed Snake just poking its head out, he reached out and grabbed the snake's head, dragged it out, and then pinched its tail with the other hand.

The prerequisite for taming a spirit pet is to capture it first.

The spirit pet system's requirement for capturing is that the birds and beasts to be tamed must be in a state where they cannot resist or escape.

Being caught by Gu Yuan, the Big-Mouthed Snake really started to struggle.

Clearly, its body was only as thick as a little finger, but the strength it exerted when twisting was astonishing!

Moreover, the gray-white scales on its body were also particularly hard and slippery, making it difficult to grab.

Even though Gu Yuan had greatly increased his strength after becoming a martial artist, he was almost broken free.

Fortunately, after several attempts, the Big-Mouthed Snake's strength was finally exhausted by Gu Yuan, and finally, it became honest in Gu Yuan's hands.

[You have captured the Big-Mouthed Snake (Azure). Do you want to tame it?]

It's actually an elite grade… Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, also a little surprised, and immediately said:

“Tame!”

Everyone can guess what the ultimate evolution state of the Big-Mouthed Snake is, what kind of divine beast.
