The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 444 - 411: Boosting Luck

The effect is very simple, straightforward, and crude—burn curse materials/lucky spiritual materials to enhance luck for the upcoming period.

In the next moment, Lin Guang no longer hesitated.

He raised his hand, and the color of starlight flowed from his fingertips.

Under the noonday sun, the talisman on the box started to loosen under his dark golden spiritual power and the Hand of Full Mastery.

The box creaked open, revealing two spiritual materials aligned inside.

One was a deep green octopus head, a chubby and strange statue.

The other was a dark yellow, ragged piece of cloth, as if torn from a cloak or coat.

A certain ominous aura seeped from within, almost condensing into a visible fog of yellow and green—

Two Tier Five curse spiritual materials!

This stuff was not easy to acquire. She had specially requested Lei Wanting to find it in the spiritual materials depot of the Spirit Alliance’s Zhen Sheng City branch during their material transaction.

There was no more to be had.

Though the price was indeed not high.

But... such things were really too rare.

Then, the fog was greedily torn and absorbed by the white light cluster in his hand, like finding a delicious supplement.

The absorption process lasted a full thirty seconds before ending, and the light cluster also turned into a tricolor light cluster, mixed with the aura’s colors.

Divine light blossomed in Lin Guang’s eyes, and his dark golden left hand and flesh-colored right hand began quickly switching seals, condensing these [materials] on his right index finger, sketching line by line in the air.

His power was now different from before, so he appeared much more composed, and the light at his fingertips quickly outlined a complex pattern resembling a Spirit Pattern in the air.

[Move Forward]!

In the next moment, this word, like a meteor, immersed into his Sea of Spirit.

[Status: Good Fortune (Duration 23 hours 17 minutes 56 seconds)]

"So, what’s the next step?"

Vishdair watched the smile on the corner of Lin Guang’s mouth, understanding that he already had a plan, confident, and thus relaxed a bit, asking, "Should we go directly to find it? Just rely on luck?"

"I feel like you’re not going to do it like that."

"Of course, it won’t be that simple."

Lin Guang shook his head with a smile, taking out a spiritual artifact shaped like a crystal ball from his bosom, revealing a smile.

Lisa blinked her golden-green eyes: "What’s that...?"

"This is a Tier Five scouting spiritual artifact, with no other functions, purely specialized for searching out powerful Spirit Beasts."

In other words, the stronger the aura of the Spirit Beast, the less it could escape the detection of this spiritual artifact.

"We’re going to pay a visit to the owner here."

In his silent hand, the boy took out a transparent glass sphere, with a few strands of sky-blue fur rotating slightly inside, even emitting a mysterious Beast King’s aura.

Fox Spirit Beasts are generally more docile in nature.

Moreover, with this... it should be possible to communicate... right?

Before setting off, Lin Guang turned again to look at the Gale Thunderbolt Eagle that had carried them here, its massive figure casting a large shadow before them.

Without receiving instructions, it buried its head grooming its feathers, pulling out a deep blue feather several decimeters long from beneath its wing, tossing it casually where it fell several meters away.

The feather’s tip was inexplicably sharp, quietly piercing the ground directly.

"We plan to stay here for a day or two, for now, you can move freely, just don’t go too far, I’ll call you if needed. Also, if you’re hungry, I can provide food in advance, just don’t target the Fox Spirit Beasts here."

This Tier Five Peak Purple Grade Spirit Beast, though not up to human intelligence, was entirely capable of regular communication and interaction.

The Gale Thunderbolt Eagle upon hearing this, glanced aside at Lisa’s fox tail and ears, a knowing look emerging in its sharp eagle eyes, then it nodded and chirped lightly.

Vishdair scratched his head: "What does that mean?"

"It seems to say... understood, no need for us to provide food, it’ll just find something else to eat."

Lisa blinked, her tail swaying, and explained.

With that, the massive eagle, comparable to a small airplane, spread its wings, flapping upwards into the sky and vanishing.

"Let’s go."

...

Half an hour later, Lin Guang and his party had ventured into the forest of the Fox Mountain Range.

There were no human activity traces in this primeval forest. Though lacking particularly captivating features, walking within it, breathing in fresh air, hearing chirping birds, and smelling the fragrance of wildflowers, lifted everyone’s spirits involuntarily.

Gradually, a thin white mist began to appear, showing that they were indeed advancing toward that lake.

Chelina suddenly spoke: "There’s ether in the mist."

"Besides... something seems to be watching us."

The white mist thickened, and the temperature dropped significantly, the visibility reduced to only five or six meters, prompting Vishdair to knit his brows.

"From outside, I couldn’t tell the fog inside the forest would be this thick, is it a skill?"

"It’s a skill, and indeed there are Spirit Beasts watching us, but it’s not dangerous."

Lin Guang held the crystal ball, observing the faint light spots above it, shook his head with a smile.

"In this valley, a group of [Snow Mist Foxes] likely resides. They are gregarious foxes, specializing in creating white mist to conceal their activity traces or territory, preventing discovery by other predators."

"They’re very timid, and would only dare to watch us from a distance in the mist."

"Once we go further in, the white mist will disperse."

"I see."

The silver-haired girl seemed to relax a bit.

Yet Lin Guang consistently sensed high-temperature, high-pressure ether flowing from her palm, ready at a moment’s notice.

Soon after, as foretold, the forest mist gradually lightened, accompanied by the damp scent of soil in the air.

Traveling another ten minutes, the surrounding white mist completely dissipated, and visibility returned to clarity.

The four slightly lifted their heads.

This was a fantastically colored forest, predominantly fiery red towering trees, like a fire cloud drifting aloft.

Lin Guang also looked up, calmly explaining: "Those are [Fire Maples], inferior grade spirit plants of Wood/Fire attributes, planted as ornamental trees in some places." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"These trees gather ether to a certain level before shedding leaves, so they’re practically in a state of leaf-fall year-round."

"Their petioles are rich in Fire Attribute Ether, also having Wood Attribute, causing them to ignite easily — in the wild, these spirit plants can’t grow densely packed and must thrive where Water Attribute is abundant to survive properly."

Lin Guang sighed slightly: "I hadn’t expected to see such a large connected area here, it truly is miraculous."

"I suspect the mist from nearby [Snow Mist Foxes], along with water vapor from lakes and waterfalls, forms the perfect environment for these trees to survive, and those fire-attributed foxes can also feed on their leaves and fruits, over time forming a simple symbiotic relationship."

Possibly closer to the water source, or due to frequent "natural fertilizers" being deposited, the trees here grew exceptionally tall and robust. On the gnarled ancient trunks, traces of various fox claws were faintly visible, with grooves of varying depth—over the years, moss had filled them.

Fire Maple’s red leaves blanketed the ground, forming a thick carpet beneath the four’s feet, the sound of their steps mixed with faint cracking of dry twigs.

Dozens of meters away, three fluffy little red foxes lay there, dragging long, cloud-like tails, eyes clear and cute, paws playfully moving as they arranged not fully gnawed fruit cores into a ring—engaging in an apparent post-meal game.

Suddenly, slightly larger among them, a little fox’s ears perked up, turning to the direction of Lin Guang and the others’ footsteps.

Upon seeing their appearance, a look of fright and alarm appeared in its eyes....

"Yelps!!!"
