Chapter 30: Ch 30- Moonscale Salamander
One day later.
Mo Yuan was sitting in his room, carefully studying a newly purchased and relatively complete Beast Manual.
The manual contained information about many different Beasts, including their habitats, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and some of the talents they might possess.
Mo Yuan had spent quite a bit of money on this manual.
It was worth it.
After all, if he wanted to find a Beast with a powerful Healing Talent, blindly searching through the Wilderness would be extremely inefficient.
It was better to understand the different Beasts first and then choose a suitable target.
Mo Yuan slowly flipped through the pages.
"Silver Fang Wolf, an Intermediate Beast. It possesses extremely sharp teeth and a powerful sense of smell. Its speed is also considerably fast, making it difficult for ordinary Origin Sea Realm Cultivators to escape once targeted."
Mo Yuan read the description carefully before shaking his head.
"Not what I’m looking for."
Although the Silver Fang Wolf was powerful, it didn’t possess any talent that could help him recover from injuries.
Mo Yuan continued flipping through the manual.
"Rock Armor Beast, an Intermediate Beast. Its body is covered with naturally formed rock-like scales, giving it extremely strong defensive power. Ordinary weapons can hardly break through its defense. It is usually found living in rocky areas and underground caves."
Mo Yuan’s eyes paused on the description for a moment.
"Defensive Talent?"
He thought about it for a while before shaking his head again.
"Still useless to me."
His current defense was already quite average right now, he will look for it next time.
If he could obtain a powerful Healing Talent, his survivability would increase tremendously.
Mo Yuan continued reading.
"Thunder Claw Leopard, an Intermediate Beast. It possesses a special Thunder Talent that allows it to release electricity through its claws. Its attacks are extremely fast and can paralyze weaker opponents."
Mo Yuan glanced at the description and immediately lost interest.
"Thunder Talent?"
"Not bad, but it’s still useless for me."
He didn’t need another offensive talent right now.
His Strength Talent had already reached Peak Grade, and his Saber Talent and Shadow Talent were also quite powerful.
What he needed now was something that could make up for his weaknesses.
That is why Healing Talent was his first choice.
If he couldn’t find a suitable Healing Talent, he would consider defensive or other auxiliary talents but he didn’t want another ordinary offensive talent for now.
Mo Yuan flipped through several more pages.
The further he read, the more Beasts he discovered.
There were Beasts with terrifying strength, Beasts with incredible speed, Beasts with strange abilities, and even some Beasts that could control plants or release poisonous gases.
Unfortunately, most of them didn’t have the talent he wanted.
Mo Yuan frowned slightly.
"It really isn’t easy to find a Healing Talent."
He continued reading patiently.
He wasn’t in a hurry.
The Wilderness was enormous, and there were countless types of Beasts living within it. As long as he searched carefully, he would eventually find one suitable for him.
After turning several more pages, Mo Yuan suddenly stopped.
"Eh, this Beast is not bad!"
Mo Yuan’s eyes lit up as he stared at the description in the Beast Manual.
Moonscale Salamander!
According to the information recorded in the manual, the Moonscale Salamander was an Intermediate Beast that usually lived near lakes, rivers, and other areas with plenty of water.
Its body was around one and a half to two meters long.
It had a dark blue or almost black body, while a row of pale silver scales covered its back. Under the light, those silver scales would shine faintly, which was also where it got the name Moonscale Salamander.
It had four short legs, a long tail, and a pair of small eyes.
At first glance, the Moonscale Salamander didn’t look particularly terrifying compared to some of the other Intermediate Beasts.
Its physical strength and speed wasn’t outstanding. However, it possessed a special talent.
Regeneration Talent!
"The Moonscale Salamander can rapidly heal injuries. Minor wounds can recover in a short period of time, while more serious injuries can also gradually heal as long as the Beast has enough energy."
Mo Yuan’s expression became excited as he read this description.
"Regeneration Talent!"
This was exactly what he had been looking for. For the past few days, he had been searching for a Beast with a Healing Talent.
He hadn’t expected to find one so quickly.
"This is it."
Mo Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"If I can copy this talent, then I don’t have to worry about injuries during battle"
He had already experienced how dangerous the Wilderness was. Even with his current strength, he couldn’t guarantee that he would never get injured.
If he encountered a powerful Beast, one serious injury could completely change the outcome of a battle but if he possessed a powerful Regeneration Talent, things would be completely different. As long as he wasn’t killed instantly, his injuries could slowly recover.
"According to the manual, Moonscale Salamanders usually live near large bodies of water."
Mo Yuan quickly looked at the habitat information.
His expression gradually became strange.
"why is it, so far away?"
The habitat of the Moonscale Salamander was not anywhere near Dong Hai Base. It was located deep within the Wilderness, far beyond the areas Mo Yuan was familiar with.
To reach that region, he would have to travel for a very long time, and the farther he went, the more dangerous the Wilderness became.
Even with his current strength, Mo Yuan didn’t dare to casually travel such a long distance.
After all, he wasn’t afraid of ordinary Intermediate Beasts anymore, but that didn’t mean he was invincible.
The deeper regions of the Wilderness contained Advanced Beasts and even more terrifying existences. If he encountered one of those creatures on the way, his Shadow Talent might not be enough to save him.
"Forget it."
Mo Yuan shook his head.
"Going there myself just to find a Moonscale Salamander is too dangerous."
He continued looking through the information.
"The Moonscale Salamander isn’t particularly rare, but its habitat is simply too far away."
Mo Yuan thought for a moment.
Then, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Black Market!"
The black market sold all kinds of Beast Materials.
If Moonscale Salamanders existed in other regions, then there would definitely be people hunting them and if someone managed to kill one, its corpse would eventually be brought to a large market for sale.
"I don’t need to hunt one myself."
"I can just buy its body!"
Mo Yuan became excited.
As long as he could find a complete Moonscale Salamander corpse, he should be able to use his Copy Talent to copy its Regeneration Talent.
Of course, there was still a problem. The corpse couldn’t be too damaged.
If the Moonscale Salamander had been cut into pieces or its body had been badly destroyed, its talent might not be detectable.
Therefore, he needed to find a relatively complete corpse.
"The Black Market is the best place to look."
Mo Yuan closed the Beast Manual.
Although buying a complete Intermediate Beast corpse would definitely not be cheap, money wasn’t his biggest problem anymore.
He had already paid off his villa loan, and he still had several million yuan in savings.
If necessary, he could also hunt some Beasts and earn more money. As long as he could obtain the Regeneration Talent, spending a few million yuan would be completely worth it.
"Let’s go to the Black Market tomorrow."
Mo Yuan stood up and stretched.
He had originally planned to enter the Wilderness again, but after seeing the habitat of the Moonscale Salamander, he immediately abandoned that idea.
There was no need to take such a huge risk when he had another option.
If he could buy the corpse directly, it would save him a tremendous amount of time and greatly reduce the danger.
The only thing he needed to worry about now was whether the Black Market actually had a Moonscale Salamander corpse and its talent was decent.
"And I hope its Regeneration Talent is at least Superior Grade."
Mo Yuan muttered.
"If I’m lucky..."
"Maybe I’ll even find a Peak Grade one."
A faint smile appeared on his face.
With that thought, Mo Yuan put away the Beast Manual and continued his training.
