Chapter 402: Subduing the Shadow Mouse

"These are the last two pills I have left. I won't have any more in the future."

As Wu Ming spoke, he gently threw the two Qi-combining pills towards Shadow Mouse.

Seeing this, Shadow Mouse immediately jumped up nimbly and accurately caught the two Qi-energizing pills with its small claws.

However, it did not swallow the pill impatiently as usual, but looked at the storage bag on Wu Ming's waist with some confusion.

In Shadow Mouse's little head, this bag has always been a magical existence.

It had seen Wu Ming take out various pills from this bag countless times, and it seemed that he would never finish taking them all.

But today, why did this person suddenly say that the pills were gone?

The shadow mouse's small eyes were full of confusion and doubt. It stared at Wu Ming's storage bag, as if it wanted to see through the bag to see what was inside.

Looking at the somewhat confused look of Shadow Mouse, how could Wu Ming know what it was thinking.

He thought Shadow Mouse didn't understand him, so he gently patted his storage bag, pointed at the two pills in Shadow Mouse's paws, and emphasized again: "It's gone, it's really gone."

"Squeak, squeak."

Seeing this, Shadow Mouse suddenly let out a series of hurried calls, his voice revealing obvious anxiety.

Looking at Shadow Mouse's anxious look, Wu Ming's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Don't worry, as long as you follow me closely, the pills will naturally be there.

However, there really haven't been any in the recent period. So, I plan to leave this place and look for other places that have elixirs.

However, that place is quite far from here. If you don’t follow me, you might lose me and never see me again.”

Wu Ming said to Shadow Mouse with a smile on his face.

Ever since Wu Ming first proposed that Shadow Mouse follow him but was rejected by it, Wu Ming has not mentioned this matter again for a whole month.

However, today, at this perfect opportunity when the elixir had been completely consumed, Wu Ming finally expressed his true thoughts and purpose again.

In fact, Wu Ming was indeed ready to leave the place where he had stayed for a whole month.

His destination was Qingping Town, a small town hundreds of miles away from here.

After all, there are really no valuable resources near Xiaochenzhuang. If he continues to stay here, the time needed for his body to recover will only be delayed indefinitely.

Therefore, once his body recovered a little, Wu Ming immediately began to plan to leave this place.

At this moment, Shadow Mouse was listening intently to every word Wu Ming said.

However, a few key words kept echoing in its little head: "The elixir is gone... I have to leave this place... I won't see you again."

The shadow mouse's mood instantly became anxious. Its small claws were tightly placed on Wu Ming's body, and a series of sharp and urgent squeaks came out of its mouth.

Although Wu Ming knew nothing about the language of this animal, he could still roughly guess what the shadow mouse wanted to express from its reaction.

Seeing this, Wu Ming quickly spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, little one. As long as you're willing to follow me in the future, I promise to take good care of you, and you'll definitely have plenty of delicious food."

His voice was gentle and firm, and seemed to have a reassuring power.

After hearing Wu Ming's words, Shadow Rat's cries gradually subsided.

It squatted aside, and its originally bright little eyes now looked a little sad, as if it was thinking deeply about something.

Obviously, it was weighing the pros and cons, thinking about whether to accept Wu Ming's proposal and follow him.

Wu Ming stood quietly by, patiently waiting for Shadow Mouse's decision.

He knew very well that with his current strength, he could forcibly capture the Shadow Rat and take it as his own spiritual pet.

However, he did not want to take such a rough approach, as doing so might cause the Shadow Mouse to be disgusted and even affect its loyalty to him in the future.

After a period of silent thinking, Shadow Mouse finally made another sound.

This time the cry was no longer as urgent as before, but seemed a little hesitant and hesitant.

However, Wu Ming could still hear the decision behind it - it chose to follow the person in front of it.

Although deep in its memory, there is always a voice constantly warning it that it should never trust any human being easily.

However, during the time spent with this person, it gradually developed a completely different feeling - the person in front of it did not seem to be a bad person.

After repeated thinking and weighing, in order to be able to taste the delicious elixir every day in the future.

It finally made up its mind to live with this person.

"Have you really decided to follow me?"

When Wu Ming heard the series of calls from the shadow mouse, he couldn't help but feel surprised, and he asked in disbelief.

"Squeak, squeak."

Then, two more clear calls were heard, as if Shadow Mouse was giving a positive answer to his question.

These two calls surprised Wu Ming a little. After all, although he had been trying to establish a trusting relationship with Shadow Mouse in the past month, he was still not completely sure whether Shadow Mouse would really choose to follow him.

Now, the answer has finally been revealed, and it is such a gratifying result, which really makes him feel a little unbelievable.

Since Shadow Rat had decided to follow him, in order to facilitate better communication between the two and also to completely turn Shadow Rat into his own spiritual pet, Wu Ming took out a beast-taming ring from his storage bag without hesitation.

This beast-taming ring is a magical tool used by monks to tame spiritual pets, and it has a certain restraining power.

Although the price of this beast-controlling ring is relatively high and much more expensive than the beast-taming talisman, its function is far beyond that of the beast-taming talisman.

The Beast Taming Ring can not only be used to tame spiritual pets, but more importantly, it can make the connection between spiritual pets and monks closer.

This close connection not only enhances the mutual understanding, but also enables the spirit pet to better understand the intentions of the monks and thus cooperate better.

In comparison, the function of the beast taming talisman is relatively simple.

It can only help monks tame their spiritual pets, but cannot further deepen the relationship between the two.

Therefore, for those cultivators who have some extra money but do not yet own a spiritual beast, preparing a beast-taming ring is undoubtedly a wise choice.

In this way, when they encounter a spiritual pet they like, they can immediately use the Beast Taming Ring to establish contact with it without having to look for the Beast Taming Talisman.
