With the experience from his first try, he was able to test it out a lot more easily. However, Tian Cheng was still busy until late at night before he was able to concoct the second plan. Unfortunately, it was another failed experiment. The clear blue color and the faint fragrance did not appear again, but this time, it was not a grayish-black colour, but completely grey. The aura of calmness was getting stronger and stronger. Tian Cheng probably guessed that the experiment would fail, but this result was something that Tian Cheng did not expect. He fell asleep with a smile on his face, ready to prepare for tomorrow's training. However, in the middle of the experiment, Tian Cheng had spent a little bit of time to do one thing, and that was to place the rat trap.

The next day, Tiancheng, as usual, got up early, went up the mountain, and collected his prey.

"I guess there won't be many Earth Dragon-pulling Rats in this five to six miles of area. I've already caught quite a few myself, but it's not bad this time. I only took three cages and there are already two Earth Dragon-Dragon-Dragging Mice. I wonder if the fourth one will have one." With three cages in each hand, Tian Cheng quickly arrived at the fourth cage, which was also the farthest hunting zone.

"Hmm? "What's going on?" Tian Cheng looked at the pile of thoughts in front of him and asked doubtfully. He picked up a steel pole that was half of its length from the ground and examined it carefully. There were more than a dozen of similar iron rods lying on the ground. Clearly, this was the "corpse" of the cage.

"No." Tian Cheng suddenly thought of something and his face changed, "I remember last time in this area, there was a cage that was destroyed like this. Last time, I didn't think much of it and thought it was done by a stronger demon beast, but it doesn't seem to be that simple!"

Looking at this metal rod, Tian Cheng seemed to have discovered something. His doubtful expression instantly changed to shock. "Right, as long as we can find the cage from last time, it will explain the situation." Although it had been so many days since the last incident, with Tian Cheng's amazing memory, he was able to reach the scene very quickly. It's clearly here, why did it disappear? " After circling the area a few more times, the more Tian Cheng searched, the more nervous he became. Finally, he stopped where he was and started thinking.

"Look at the broken wound on the metal pole. It doesn't look like it was broken by a magical beast, but rather by some sort of bite."

"The cage from last time was the same, so we were even more certain that it wasn't caused by the magical beast's attack, and the rest of the wreckage was gone."

"Then let's be certain that this cage was created by a magical beast and it was the same one twice. Just what kind of magical beast would eat this useless metal?"

"Gold Devouring Demon Beast!" Tian Cheng shouted out without thinking. His mind quickly displayed some of the introductions his grandfather had told him about the gold-eating magical beasts.

To a certain extent, they were heaven defying existences because they did not need to be like the other beasts, either through special cultivation or endless slaughter to increase their strength, but the gold devouring beasts only needed to constantly eat, as long as enough metal was given to them, they could limitlessly raise their strength. However, with the increase in level, the metal grade was considered as one of the best of the best, so it was rare to hear of gold devouring beasts that had advanced to the godly level in the past few thousand years. However, even if its level was not high, its strength was not to be underestimated. Within the same level, it was definitely an invincible existence. It gathered the strongest defense and the strongest attack as one. Many magical beasts of higher ranks didn't dare to challenge them.

The first Gold Devouring Demon Beast was known as the "King of the Desert", the "King of the Vajra Scorpion." It looked similar to an ordinary scorpion, with a larger body and a smooth and shiny surface. As a social type of magical beast, the ordinary King Kong Scorpion usually had around the sixth stage when it was around the second, third or fourth stage. Many of the people who had walked across the desert had a change in their expressions. In their words, there was no other way to describe it other than 'terrifying'. Their sensitivity to metal had reached an unbelievable level. Even if you hid a gold coin in your crotch, it would still be easy for him to find it. However, they were only interested in metals and weren't very keen on killing people. Occasionally, when they encountered those "stubborn people" who didn't want to hand over their weapons, they wouldn't mind starting a war. However, they could only survive in the desert, which was extremely hot and cold. Exiting the desert meant death, and that was one of the main reasons why they could only advance to the sixth step at most.

The two beaks, which were comparable to divine weapons, were like metal ores and the nightmare of intruders. No matter how hard the metal was, as weak as tofu in front of its sharp beaks, the enemies who offended them would usually only have one result, and that was that they would die without an intact corpse. Unlike the "King Kong Scorpion", who was only interested in metal, it also had the same interest in bloodlust. The size was no different from that of the Earth Mouths, it belonged to the group of magical beasts that lived there. Generally, the Queen of Ants could reach the fifth step, but they were known for their large numbers and power.

When they were young, they had the same appearance as normal Earth Dragons, but as they advanced, their size would slowly shrink, and their fur would gradually change to a golden color. Legend has it that when they reached the level of Divine Beasts, they would become "cute" with a body that was completely silvery-white in color. There were basically no restrictions that allowed them to roam the entire continent in search of the food it needed. Today, there were three Origin Sect members that fought against an advanced Magister against a Saint Beast of the eighth level, the Gold Devouring Mouse, who had stolen the treasures in the palace. This was also the only battle between a human and a Goldbiter Rat. Very few people had ever seen a Goldbiter Rat. Those of a higher level had never seen it, and those of a lower level wouldn't recognize it even if they saw it. Thus, the Goldbiter Rat became the contracted beast in the dreams of countless people.

"It appeared in this place and it ate metal. Judging from its appetite, it shouldn't be much. It's very likely to be a Goldbiter Rat! But my grandfather's knowledge is limited, what if there are other types of gold-eating magical beasts? "

"Forget it, let's not care about that anymore. Hur Hur!" Since you're treating my cage as a snack, then just wait for me to make you a snack! " Looking at the iron rod in his hand, Tian Cheng smiled evilly.

What was it? The mystery was about to unravel.
