The second volume is called "One Heart" Chapter 20 Stealing
Being able to have such a close and intimate contact with a high-level level eight magical beast is a treatment that most people cannot enjoy. The huge tiger head is across my eyes, and I can touch it with just a slight stretch of my hand. My eyes slowly move down, and the magic crystal core is in the mouth of the ground-horned tiger. It seems that I have attracted its attention, and it seems that it has not swallowed it yet.
My hands moved slightly, almost wanting to take the magic crystal core out of the tiger's mouth, but of course this was impossible. There might be warriors who could pull teeth out of a tiger's mouth, but it would definitely not be someone like me who was incompetent. I was not afraid of being killed by the tiger, but I was unwilling to swallow the bitter fruit of failure because of an accident after paying so much and finally succeeding. I failed once when I was taking the college entrance examination. I gave up on myself and still have nothing to this day. I want to start over, but there is no second chance. What is engraved in my heart is only deep regret and regret. Now that I have promised Afeng to fight hard, I don't want to give up easily. A good start means that the road ahead will be much smoother. If I lose this opportunity, I will not only lose time and benefits, but also seriously affect our confidence.
In an instant, I broke out in a cold sweat, but I couldn't think of any way to save the situation. I saw the ground tiger moved its mouth and swallowed the magic crystal core into its stomach with a "gulp". I couldn't bear it anymore. My mind was blank. I just reached out my hand quickly, subconsciously trying to take the magic crystal core out of the ground tiger's body.
Although every time I talk about this incident in the future I will brag about myself for a long time, such as my sudden inspiration, courage, experience, flexible application, and turning the tide, but I actually didn't think about anything at the time, and I didn't have time to think. I just instinctively repeated the skill that could best achieve such a goal - the thief's first-level skill "stealing while the hand is still". I used this skill countless times when facing the wild wolves in the wilderness, and pulled out hundreds of wolf teeth from the bodies of the wild wolves. After thousands of successes and failures, this action has been deeply engraved in my mind. Since I can't defeat the ground tiger by force, I can only use my wits to defeat it. In a hurry, I didn't think about it deliberately, and my right hand consciously used this skill. No wonder I often hear people say that it is difficult to control one's hands when a thief is used to it. The body follows the heart, and many times it is an instinctive reaction. In fact, this matter was largely accidental. If I had been conscious at the time, I would never have thought of trying to "steal". The success rate of stealing things from such a high-level monster can be said to be negligible. I didn't dare to have any extravagant hope. What's more, I practiced it only to meet the promotion requirements and never expected it to help me.
A white light flashed, and my right hand swept across the body of the ground-horned tiger. My hand tightened, and I felt an object the size of a goose egg. At the same time, the ground-horned tiger next to me shook its body and let out a tiger roar. The voice was full of anger, and two murderous eyes stared at me.
I stopped thinking and acted on instinct. I didn't have time to check what I had stolen. I immediately put it into my storage belt, so that even if I was killed by the tiger, it would not be able to get it back. This was also my habit when I was practicing "stealing". I just wanted to free my hands as soon as possible to continue to use my skills and improve my training speed. Sometimes, developing a good habit can really benefit you for a lifetime.
The ground tiger whose items I had successfully stolen went berserk and reacted quickly. The horn on its forehead flashed yellow light again. Just as I put the stolen items into the storage belt, a stone as big as a millstone whizzed down from the sky. I felt a black screen before my eyes and my body was smashed into a pile of meat paste. I tried a new way of dying again.
When I arrived at the "Dead Space", there were more than me. When I died, the "Summoning of the Undead" lost its effect. They could no longer exist in the human world and were sent back. In a fierce battle, more than 300 strong zombies of mine were sacrificed. If it weren't for the old zombie's sneak attack and restraining the three-headed flame wolf, the loss would have been even greater.
After calming down and recalling what just happened, I finally figured out what happened. I quickly checked the stolen items in the storage belt. It should be the magic crystal core that was swallowed. Sure enough, a fiery red, crystal clear fire magic crystal core appeared in my hand. As long as it is in my hand, our mission is completed.
I really didn't expect that at such a critical moment, it was the "stealing" that I have always looked down upon that performed a miraculous feat. Afeng and the others were right, the secret of skill lies in one's heart. Don't use the best, just use the most suitable one. Only such players can be called masters.
I don't know what happened to Xue Wuxia, Nan Feiyan, and Yun Wuying. Without the cover of zombies, it would be difficult for them to escape the revenge of the angry Dijiaohu. Moreover, I moved very quickly at that time and everything happened in an instant. If they hadn't noticed that the magic crystal core had been stolen by me, they would definitely be sad in the "Resurrection Corridor" now. Haha, I can't imagine what their expressions will be when I show the magic crystal core to them.
But these are all things that will happen after resurrection . There are still a few things that need to be dealt with urgently. Just when I thought of this, Taotao has come out and ran to my side. I haven't seen it since it completed its first evolution. Its ability should be improved a lot.
Judging from its body shape, it is already the size of an adult horse, and the flames all over its body are thicker. Although it is still a phantom with no killing power, it looks more majestic. I checked its attributes - "Completed the first evolution; inherent attributes: Rideable; Skills: Hellfire Bullet", and its health, mental strength and physical strength have also been greatly improved - only these three attributes are displayed by pets, and the others are implicit attributes. Moreover, these three attributes are expressed in percentages of one color according to the pet category, and the colors range from light to dark. Taotao is an undead pet, and the three attributes are now light black.
The happiest thing was that Taotao could finally ride. This was something I had been looking forward to for a long time. I rubbed Taotao's big head affectionately, then I carefully turned over and rode on it. I was nervous and excited. This was the first time in my life that I had ridden such a "primitive" means of transportation. I didn't know what it would feel like.
I squeezed my legs together and shouted "Go!" Taotao shook his body excitedly, spread his hooves and ran out quickly. With a "thump", he ran out, but I couldn't sit still and fell off the horse's back to the ground. It was so embarrassing. Fortunately, no outsiders saw it, otherwise I would not be able to put my face down.
When Taotao realized that I, its owner, was gone, he hurried back, lowered his head and looked at me lying on the ground in confusion, not understanding why I got here on his back - after the initial evolution, he was able to communicate with me in a preliminary way and express some simple meanings.
I got up from the ground, and sat on it again unwillingly. This time I felt only a little better, and I ran two steps before falling down. This happened several times, and the initial joy I had felt was gone.
Come to think of it, only knights have the "riding" skill and can ride most pets. Although Taotao has the "rideable" attribute and can serve as a mount for non-knights, I, as his master, do not know how to "ride" and it is impossible for me to master riding so smoothly. This is the signature skill of the knight profession. If it is so easily mastered by players of other professions, how can they survive?
Looking at Taotao standing next to me with an innocent look on his face, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Without a saddle and without reins, it was not easy to practice riding skills and sit on Taotao's bare and slippery back. It would definitely make me fall apart.
