Xiao Xiong Yan Qi didn't chat with Shi Yu for too long, after all, he still had work to do.

"Eleven, let's go eat something delicious."

In the afternoon, Shi Yu summoned Eleven from the Beast Taming Space again.

The fatigue Eleven accumulated from fighting and traveling in the morning was almost completely recovered after just a short nap in the Beast Taming Space. This was the power of the Beast Taming Space.

On Shi Yu's side, a little meditation and rest had also sufficiently replenished his spirit.

With a new goal, Shi Yu didn't want to delay any longer and planned to set off with Eleven again.

"Awoo—"

Outside, Eleven's figure slowly appeared. Hearing the word "eat," it subconsciously wiped its mouth with its arm.

...

Because of the Skill Index, Shi Yu's physique should be quite outstanding among Beast Tamers of the same level.

When he was preparing to set off again, the other examinees, whether they had arrived at the safe zone earlier or later, were still resting.

When these people saw Shi Yu and the little Iron-eating Beast leaving the safe zone, they looked at each other... Didn't they just finish hunting five Long-spiked Wild Boars this morning?

They were actually going hunting again in the blink of an eye. Was their liver okay???

If Chen Kai were here, he would definitely say, "As expected of you, you are truly role models for us all."

Magnetic Mountain area.

This was actually a mountain covered by a special electromagnetic field. The special environment caused the birth of many magnetite ores called electrical ore.

Electrical ore was very dangerous, as it would suddenly discharge electricity. However, this kind of electricity was also a favorite snack of many lightning-type creatures.

The map in the atlas indicated that the Magnetic Mountain area was one of the most dangerous areas in Tianmang Mountain, inhabited by level ten fierce beasts.

Moreover, most of them were lightning-type fierce beasts known for their skill attack power and destructive power.

In addition, the special magnetic field here, although not very strong, was not suitable for weak Apprentice Beast Tamers to stay for too long.

If the time was too long, it might have a certain impact on the Beast Tamer's liver and brain, causing the Beast Tamer to hallucinate.

However, dangerous as it was, Shi Yu said that he still had to come. Compared to relics and the like, this place was already very friendly, and it even came with food.

"That's electrical ore?"

With a clear goal, Shi Yu and Eleven bypassed some fierce beasts to avoid wasting unnecessary stamina. It only took them half an hour to reach the edge of the Magnetic Mountain area.

At the junction of the mountain and the ground, Eleven quickly discovered a special bluish-white mineral. It "awooed" to remind Shi Yu.

Electrical ore was a prism-shaped mineral, like raised rock formations sandwiched between the ground and the Magnetic Mountain, and it occasionally shot out electric currents. Judging from the surrounding black scorch marks, the current intensity seemed to be not low.

"With your whole body in a hardened state, go break off a piece and try eating it?" Shi Yu instigated.

"(Σ(°△°|||)︴) Um..."

Honestly, Eleven had never eaten electrical ore before, just like it had never eaten Green Silkworms before. So when it encountered this novel food, it would always doubt whether it could be eaten.

Foodies were also very particular; they didn't eat everything.

If it upset its stomach, it would affect training.

"Don't worry, it's edible."

The basic requirement for Iron-eating Beasts to eat level-one lightning-type metal mineral resources like electrical ore was expert-level Hardening. Eleven had already mastered Hardening at the proficient level, so digestion was definitely no problem.

"Awoo..."

Hearing this, Eleven reluctantly approached the electrical ore. It hardened its palm and tried to break it off.

Bang!

When the electrical ore was broken off, the electric light suddenly burst, making a loud noise that startled Eleven, causing it to sit down on the ground.

Shi Yu: "..."

How could it be so clumsy? It was so fierce in battle, but how could it get blasted when mining?

"Awoo!" Eleven also felt very embarrassed.

It quickly got up and picked up the dropped electrical ore again.

At this time, the current stimulated Eleven's whole body, making it feel numb, and its fur stood on end. It was very uncomfortable.

Before, whether it was eating iron bamboo or iron core wood, Eleven could smell the aroma of the food in advance.

But this thing didn't have it! On the contrary, it looked and felt very dangerous. Could it really be eaten?

Eleven turned and handed it to Shi Yu. Otherwise, should the Beast Tamer eat it first?

"It's okay, you eat first. Don't be afraid if it hurts your body. Your High-speed Healing is already at the proficient level, and it can autonomously heal the electrical burns in your body."

World-famous painting: "The Master is Kind and the Pet is Filial."

What Shi Yu said was indeed reasonable.

The requirement for Iron-eating Beasts to master expert-level Hardening that could fully arm their bodies before eating electrical ore was to prevent the current from hurting the Iron-eating Beast's fragile cells.

However, in Eleven's case, it didn't matter even if it was hurt.

Entry-level High-speed Healing could heal external injuries, while proficient-level High-speed Healing could even heal internal injuries.

So, there was absolutely no problem. Shi Yu was very relieved. With this healing skill, Eleven could even eat a large amount of electrical ore in a short period of time without worrying about burdening its body, thereby awakening its lightning-type talent faster.

Proficient-level High-speed Healing... This was also why Shi Yu thought Eleven could eat up a mountain in three days...

"Awoo—" The Beast Tamer had said so, and Eleven showed a determined expression.

Crunch!

It directly hardened its whole body and used its hardened teeth to bite into the electrical ore it stuffed into its mouth.

Crackling!

Eleven worked hard to chew the electrical ore. Under the jumping current, it felt like it was eating Pop Rocks.

After chewing, Eleven then worked hard to swallow the electrical ore fragments.

"Ugh—"

As Eleven swallowed the electrical ore, the current permeating its body made it feel numb again. Immediately afterward, Eleven was extremely shocked.

Although it couldn't be called delicious, the surging numbness after swallowing the electrical ore, as if lightning was exploding in its body, made it feel very strange.

It wasn't repulsed by this feeling. It even felt as comfortable as it did during special training. It seemed that it could really be eaten?

"Hic~" Eleven opened its mouth, spat out a weak electric arc, then patted its belly, and looked at Shi Yu.

Was there more?

"Well... it seems there's no problem. Then let's continue to find more electrical ore to eat." Shi Yu said.

According to the description of the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall disciple, Iron-eating Beasts would develop a certain lightning affinity after eating a large amount of electrical ore, accumulating a certain lightning talent.

In this process, being struck by lightning more often could also accelerate the development of lightning talent.

These were all basic conditions for mastering lightning-type skills.

Actually, Shi Yu was very interested in lightning-type skills. If this place had fire ore or cold iron ore, he definitely wouldn't be so attentive.

With a limited number of skills that could be recorded in the Skill Index, he preferred to have the Iron-eating Beast learn lightning-type skills rather than fire-type Fist of Fury.

The reason was simple: the metal element and the lightning element were more compatible than the metal element and the fire element.

For those powerful Beast Tamers, single skills were only the foundation.

Combining different basic skills to form combination skills was the true entry point into pet cultivation.

Combination skills were very difficult for ordinary Beast Tamers because they tested the proficiency of different skills. If the proficiency was not high enough, the skills could not be perfectly combined and connected.

In a situation where skill proficiency was really difficult to train, there were very few Beast Tamers who could make two skills produce an effect greater than one plus one. This was basically only possible for Master-level Beast Tamers, but for Shi Yu, it might not be so difficult.

Because he could quickly farm proficiency.

For example, if he farmed Hardening to the level of transcendence, this skill could even form a remote combination skill with lightning-type skills.

The perfect-level symbol of the Hardening skill was flow and superposition, while the transcendence-level symbol was externalization and application.

This meant being able to use hardened matter to condense weapons separate from the body, or to superimpose a layer of Hardening onto other external objects.

Shi Yu found this effect very interesting.

Therefore, Shi Yu was thinking that if Eleven mastered transcendence-level Hardening, condensed a metal cannonball in front of its palm, and then accelerated and threw it out with electromagnetic force, how violent would that be.

The close-range Hardening skill would directly become a dual-element, high-destruction, remote combination skill: Railgun!

Metal and lightning were Shi Yu's tentatively determined main cultivation route for the Iron-eating Beast.

The vast majority of pets only had one main attribute, and in order to form powerful combination skills, some powerful Beast Tamers liked to teach their pets some skills of other attributes to combine. This secondary attribute was generally called the sub-attribute.

Shi Yu planned to focus on metal and supplement with lightning, mainly because these two attributes were easier to form combination skills. In comparison, the metal element and the fire element were not as compatible as the lightning element.

"Is that an Electric Pincer Scorpion?"

While continuing to look for electrical ore and electrical slimes, Shi Yu and his team were the first to discover new electrical ore. This time, it wasn't a single one, but a group of three or four together.

However, unlike before, this time there were fierce beasts guarding the electrical ore. Two Electric Pincer Scorpions, about the size of forearms, with purple bodies and lightning patterns, were absorbing the electricity leaking from the electrical ore.

[Name]: Electric Pincer Scorpion

[Attribute]: Lightning

[Race Level]: Low-level Transcendent

[Race Skills]: Electric Sting

Electric Pincer Scorpions could absorb lightning and store it in their bodies, then inject a poisonous current into the enemy's body with their tail stings, thereby killing their opponents.

Although the race level was low-level transcendent, the same level as Green Silkworms, they were much more threatening than Green Silkworms.

"Tzz!!"

At this time, seeing other creatures approaching, the two Electric Pincer Scorpions, whose growth levels were around level five, were greatly alarmed.

But before they could react, they were grabbed in Eleven's hands, one in each hand. As for their electric stings, they couldn't penetrate Eleven's Hardening at all...

"Awoo awoo awoo!!" Eleven swung its arms like windmills, spinning around a few times and throwing the Electric Pincer Scorpions far away.

Since the goal was the three level ten Electrical Slimes, Shi Yu simply ignored these small characters.

After chasing away the competitors, Eleven began to mine these electrical ores. Their goal... to eat all the electrical ore in the Magnetic Mountain area!

The registration fee had already been paid, so there was no need to save resources for them. Presumably, the Pingcheng Beast Tamer Association didn't lack this little electrical ore...
