Lin Jin's treatment was impeccable. Seeing that the injured fox was no longer feverish and had fallen asleep peacefully, Lin Jin knew the treatment was effective.
Shang'er immediately bowed at Lin Jin. "Thank you for your kindness, Sir!"
Her words were simple but it was obvious that she was sincere.
The little foxes around were also jumping around happily. They were very happy.
Lin Jin waved his hand with a smile. "It's nothing. But this little fox has been injured for a long time so his wounds aren't healing well. He'll need to change his dressing every day. Do you know how to do this?"
Shang'er's expression froze. She clearly didn't.
If she did, she wouldn't have watched the little fox get injured without any other solutions.
Lin Jin waved his hand. "Forget it. I'll make a few trips."
Shang'er looked embarrassed. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she hurriedly said something to the fox cubs and they immediately scattered.
After a while, the little foxes ran back, but each of them was holding something.
Lin Jin glanced over. Some of them were carrying gold and silver jewelry, some were carrying ginseng and spirit herbs, while others were carrying berries.
They came over one by one, piling up on the ground. They were obviously for Lin Jin.
Lin Jin laughed heartily.
No doubt, these fox cubs were monsters. However, they weren't as cruel and vicious as described in the books. On the contrary, they were adorable.
One of the unique traits of monsters was their intelligence.
In the Museum of Deadly Beasts, the weakest demonic beasts were described as having intelligence close to that of a human. Some were even described as having intelligence surpassing that of a human.
In this aspect, ordinary beasts could not be compared to it.
Goldy, for example, didn't care about what was going on in the cave. He had been hunting for worms outside, enjoying himself. Meanwhile, Xiao Huo stayed by Lin Jin's side loyally. When he saw the berries, spirit herbs, and gold and silver on the ground, he merely sniffed them.
After working for half a day, Lin Jin was exhausted. He sat down on the ground and picked up a berry to eat.
He didn't know what kind of berry it was but it was surprisingly delicious and sweet. As for the spirit herbs and ginseng, Lin Jin was slightly stunned when he picked them up.
The Spirit Grass was Spirit Gathering Grass. Although it was not a particularly rare Spirit Grass, these few were obviously more than ten years old. If they were to be sold, they would be worth at least a few hundred taels of silver.
That ginseng was even more impressive. Although Lin Jin didn't know much about this herb, he could tell that it was at least a hundred years old.
Just by looking at the roots, one could tell that they were extremely fine. The longest one was over three feet long.
In the hands of people who didn't understand, this thing might be worth a few hundred taels or a few thousand taels. But in the hands of some experts, because it was a top grade medicine, people would want it even if it was tens of thousands of taels.
These little foxes were planning to use these things to repay him.
Compared to this hundred-year-old ginseng, the other gold and silver treasures were really not worth mentioning.
The fox cubs were currently surrounding Lin Jin curiously, studying him from head to toe. One of them was the fox Lin Jin had rescued, 'Little Five'. Unafraid of Lin Jin, the fox leaped into Lin Jin's arms.
This time, the other little foxes followed suit and began to 'get intimate' with Lin Jin.
"Number of recorded beasts: 7 (12)!"
"…"
When he returned to the city to retrieve the medicine, Lin Jin's number of recorded beasts had exceeded the initial four. Just like the recording of rare beasts, once a certain number was reached, a corresponding reward would be awarded.
This time, Lin Jin's reward was' Demonic Transformation, Part One '.
Skimming through it, Lin Jin could tell that it was a cultivation method for monsters.
From some ancient texts, Lin Jin learned that in ancient times, there were many monsters who became great cultivators. Just like human cultivators, once they reached the peak of their cultivation, they could become immortals and deities, dominating the world. However, after the world's spirit energy dried up, monsters became extinct just like human cultivators. Humans could still cultivate by forming blood contracts with pet beasts, but the same couldn't be said for monsters.
This was also Lin Jin's first time seeing a monster's cultivation method.
After a simple glance, he could tell that this Demonic Transformation was amazing. It was a pity that this method was only suitable for monsters. Humans couldn't cultivate it.
Lin Jin sighed.
The Museum of Deadly Beasts' rewards were either Beast Energy Formation or Demonic Transformation. Both were related to beasts. But then again, it made sense. This was the Museum of Deadly Beasts, not the Museum of Deadly Humans.
Perhaps because they saw Lin Jin sigh, the little foxes were confused and looked at him curiously. Shang'er, who was observant enough, leaned forward and asked, "Sir, is something troubling you? If there's any trouble, just tell me. Shang'er will definitely lend a hand. "
Stunned, Lin Jin realized that they had misunderstood.
Looking at the beautiful Shang'er before him, Lin Jin mused, 'The ancient saying about fox demons being beautiful and seductive is indeed true.'
Shang'er was clearly a fox demon.
Unlike the other fox cubs, Shang'er's rank was much higher.
When they rode Xiao Huo to retrieve the medicine, their bodies had touched, so the Museum of Deadly Beasts had recorded Shang'er's information.
"Rank 4 fox demon, Shang'er. Superhuman intelligence. Attribute: Wind."
"Monster cultivator. Mastered the art of transformation. Potential value: 7."
"There are six evolution methods, which are …"
"You can cultivate the Demon King Transformation and the Beast Energy Refining Incantation."
"…"
When he first saw it, Lin Jin was startled.
Based on their levels, even a Rank 4 pet beast was a terrifying existence. Just like the black falcon, babyface spider, and soaring cloud flood dragon he met in the Visitation Hall.
Although Lin Jin could use the curator's power to suppress them in the Visitation Hall, if he were to encounter them in the real world, Lin Jin would definitely be no match for them.
Even with Xiao Huo and Goldy, it would still be difficult.
If it was a Rank 4 monster, it would be even more terrifying.
A monster's strength surpassed that of an average pet beast. A Rank 4 monster could even be on par with a Rank 5 beast.
If she harbored ill intentions and started a fight, Lin Jin, Xiao Huo, and Goldy would all die here in the wilderness.
Hence, Lin Jin's first reaction was fear!
But on second thought, this Shang'er didn't seem to have any ill intentions. Not only did she not, but she was also gentle and polite. She was even more cultured than some human women.
Some human women really couldn't compare to her.
Moreover, Lin Jin had saved Little Five and now Little Nine. He was their benefactor. Many books said that monsters were cruel and this was true. Beasts were beasts, not humans. But at the same time, beasts weren't that calculative. If they were good, they were good. If they were bad, they were bad. At least based on Lin Jin's current observation, Shang'er didn't have any intention of harming him.
Today's experience could be considered a fortuitous encounter so Lin Jin had to seize the opportunity to learn more about her.
At this, Lin Jin decided to ask her directly without beating around the bush.
"Shang'er, there's something I don't understand. I'd like to ask."
"Sir, feel free to ask!"
"Are you demonic beasts?"
