Chapter 558: The Rune’s Magical Effect

Since the antelope was satisfied, Ou Yangming was at ease as he smithed the other pieces of equipment for it.

The level of smithing was not difficult at all for Ou Yangming. Besides, with the unique Military Fire’s help, he even achieved an extremely frightening success rate of 100%. Even when he finished smithing every piece of equipment needed by the antelope, he had not failed at all.

Both the big lazy turtle and the antelope were dumbfounded, and they respected Ou Yangming’s skills even more.

Whenever beasts requested human blacksmiths to smith pieces of equipment for them, they would always prepare several sets of material. This was because they were afraid that the blacksmiths might make mistakes and damage the pieces of equipment, but this would make sure there were new materials to continue the smithing processes.

Normally, the failure rate would increase when the Wish-fulling Clay was added to a piece of equipment. Therefore, it was incredibly normal for even renowned human blacksmiths to make several slips throughout the smithing process for an equipment set.

As for those that succeeded perfectly in one go… Okay, the big lazy turtle and the antelope did not think that they had very limited knowledge, but it was especially rare to find such successful blacksmiths, which was why they had strange expressions on their faces.

Ou Yangming shook his wrist to curb his Military Fire as the last piece of equipment was formed.

It was an antelope headgear, and the most striking part about it was unquestionably the bulges on top for the antelope’s horns. Ou Yangming knocked it with his hand and noted, “I carved a formation map on this headgear. Go ahead and try it.”

The antelope’s eyes lit up right away. It did not forget what Ou Yangming promised it earlier; the power of its natural gift—the Gravitational Force Suppression—would be increased by 30%.

In actuality, not to mention 30%, even if the increase was only 10%, the antelope would have danced with joy.

It carefully accepted the headgear and put it on without any hesitation. Following that, it channeled its spiritual power into the equipment in the blink of an eye. Sure enough, the antelope immediately noticed that a certain power was brewing inside the headgear, and it could naturally release it with a flash of thought.

Ou Yangming added, “Try it out and see if there are any errors; I can still fix it.”

Although blacksmiths were always responsible for their works, he only said that because he wanted to witness the antelope headgear’s mightiness.

The antelope nodded hard and looked around but could not find a target. As daring as it was, it dared not use the power on Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming laughed and looked at the big lazy turtle, which was stunned. It quickly uttered, “I can’t, that…”

Before it finished its sentence, the young fellow stated, “The spiritual herb will be yours too.”

The lazy turtle was dumbfounded for some time before it turned to shout at the antelope, “Come! Let me experience your gifted power!”

Upon hearing the turtle, the antelope was taken aback. Nonetheless, it instantly curbed its thought and lowered its head to release the peculiar yet forceful power.

It was an exceptionally formidable power. The instant the antelope released it, it had a feeling that the power had indeed surpassed its natural gift.

Next, the big lazy turtle completely lay prone on the ground and wailed as though it was suffering immense pain.

The antelope gasped. ‘This is a powerhouse from the Turtles, which are known for having remarkable defensive abilities. My Gravitational Force Suppressed might be a little unique, but it couldn’t have caused such an exaggerated reaction from it, right?’

On the other hand, the lazy turtle glared indignantly at the antelope. All of a sudden, it widened its mouth to shoot a black water arrow.

The antelope felt a chill in its heart, and it jumped away without any delay. It curbed its gifted power and yelled, “I wasn’t the one that wanted to attack you, so why are you taking revenge on me?”

Stunned, the lazy turtle blinked its large eyes and looked away embarrassedly.

In actual fact, it knew who the real culprit was. Even so, after witnessing Ou Yangming’s marvelous smithing ability, it knew it must not offend the seemingly tiny human blacksmith.

Therefore, it could vent its resentment on the antelope, but it dared not get mad at Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh, but he could not be bothered about comforting the big lazy turtle. Since the fellow wanted to gain so many spiritual items, it must pay a certain price. At this moment, the young fellow was already attracted by the queer power released by the antelope.

He had carved a Rudimentary Rune on the headgear. The rune, which was a special rune with an erosive power, corresponded with the antelope’s Gravitational Force Suppression Rune quite well in his sea of consciousness.

Nevertheless, according to Ou Yangming’s initial deduction, the rune was not useful for Spirit Grade powerhouses because such a powerhouse’s defensive power could easily disintegrate it.

Having said that, when the rune was matched with an Intermediate Rune, there seemed to be an unexpected magical effect.

The big lazy turtle would not have been infuriated by suppression from sheer gravitational force, let alone a rudimentary Erosive Spell. On the contrary, when the two combined, the effect was so notable that the lazy turtle could not withstand it at all.

Needless to say, it was also because the big lazy turtle did not release its power at all. If it had met force with force, nobody would be able to tell the outcome.

When Ou Yangming looked at the lazy turtle, which was slowly calming down, as well as the antelope with an apologetic smile on its face, he was suddenly struck with an idea. ‘Given that this is only the effect of the combination between an Intermediate Rune and a Rudimentary Rune, the resulting power from 2 combined Intermediate Runes will probably be even more unbelievable, right?’

Unfortunately, Ou Yangming only possessed 2 Intermediate Runes for the time being. If he were to let them merge… He was not feeling hopeful at all.

“Are you satisfied?” The young fellow curbed his thought and asked.

“Yes, I’m satisfied!” The antelope quickly nodded.

“Okay.” Ou Yangming reached out his hands and rubbed them in front of the antelope.

“Human master, you’re…” The antelope was surprised.

“Woof,” Big Yellow barked and questioned the antelope, “Your fur—are you trying to go back on your word?”

The antelope shook its head right away after coming to a sudden realization. “I dare not, I dare not.” Following that, it kept shaking its body, causing its long fur to fall automatically. Before long, it became bald.

Big Yellow opened its mouth and laughed out loud.

Ou Yangming twitched the corner of his mouth because the antelope looked strangely hilarious.

The antelope chuckled embarrassedly. Perhaps it would have plucked up its courage to fight other spirit beasts that ridiculed it like that, but it gave up that thought after glancing at Ou Yangming.

“Our deal is completed, so please help yourself, Your Excellency.”

The antelope lowered its head at Ou Yangming to salute him, then he put on the pieces of equipment and said, “Thank you, master, I hope to see you again.”

Subsequently, it flashed and left in an instant.

Ou Yangming reached out to pick up the fur and pressed it a few times. He later released his mental power to sense it as it was curious, and his face could not help but change.

His mental power was exceedingly great, but his consciousness sensed nothing when he tried to look into the fur. Even though the young fellow’s hand was clearly telling him that he was indeed holding a ball of fur, his mental conception could not sense it.

It was his first time experiencing such an odd situation, thus he naturally felt like something was weird.

“Lazy turtle, have you seen… Fur like this before?” Ou Yangming asked while holding the fur.

The big lazy turtle thought, ‘I have a name too—I’m not a lazy turtle!’

It did not feel anything back when Ou Yangming addressed it as such; it always felt like it was not too bothered because it would leave the young fellow anyway. However, due to the drastic change in the overall situation, the turtle was unwilling to be addressed like that.

The turtle sensed the fur and shook its head. “No, that fella’s probably a mutated spirit beast, which is why it possesses this unique ability.”

Ou Yangming’s eyelids flickered, and he immediately ordered the big yellow dog, “Big Yellow, chase it back.”

Big Yellow’s eyes gleamed. “Okay, I’ll chase it back and slaughter it to eat it!”

The young fellow glared at it and instructed, “Go and ask if it’d like to follow us. I can provide it with better pieces of equipment free of charge.”

“Why?” Big Yellow widened its eyes and shouted.

Ou Yangming waved the fur in his hand helplessly and responded, “This is useful for me, so quickly go!”

While Big Yellow was reluctant, it did not want to quarrel with Ou Yangming over a proper business. As such, it sighed and pursued the antelope.

The big lazy turtle was confused. “Master Ou, you need to be very wealthy to recruit a spirit beast. You… Oh, that won’t be your concern, but isn’t your condition too favorable for that antelope?”

“Its importance is beyond what you think.” Ou Yangming nodded, and his eyes suddenly darkened as he added, “Big lazy turtle, I need your help later.”

“What do you need me to do?” The lazy turtle quickly responded.

“If it’s not willing to follow us, please release a restraining order on it too!”

The lazy turtle blinked and agreed to help the young fellow, but it could not understand what exactly the antelope’s fur could do.

‘Is he planning to keep spiritual items inside the fur to hide them from other powerhouses?

‘He can simply send them into the space I’m in, and there won’t be a problem anymore.

Ou Yangming waited quietly for about 15 minutes before 2 figures returned at the speed of light. He curled his lips into a faint smile because given that the antelope was willing to return, anything could be discussed. Of course, he was confident about fooling the mutated fella.
