As Lin Luo expected, the Ye Family, their affiliated forces, and the neutral forces couldn't snatch treasures under the protection of the formidable Spirit Beasts.
After some clashes, they suffered heavy losses and fled in disgrace.
Seeing some return injured and dejected, Lin Luo's people sneered.
They dared to charge in without understanding their own strength.
What good did that do? They were beaten and fled.
After the Ancient Thunder Dragon recovered, Lin Luo and his group continued treasure hunting.
Because others had expended some effort, the uncommon Spirit Beasts they met were easily defeated by Ancient Thunder Dragon.
These Spirit Beasts were strong, so killing them required effort and time.
Lin Luo did not insist on killing—scaring them away sufficed.
He was primarily after the treasures; if they abandoned their treasures and fled, his goal was met.
At sunset, Lin Luo and the Lin Family guards left the Secret Realm safely.
"Little Luo is out."
Seeing their safe return, Lin Yuan, Lin Zhen, Ye Qingrou, and others outside the Secret Realm were relieved.
They didn't immediately ask Lin Luo about the haul, and Lin Luo didn't mention it either.
Lin Yuan had everyone mount his Ancient Thunder Dragon and set off back to Lin Mansion.
Lin Luo, Lin Zhen, Ye Qingrou, the Six Great Elders, and the guards all mounted the Ancient Thunder Dragon.
With respectful send-off from the Lin Family's affiliated forces, the dragon soared into the sky, flying quickly toward Lin Mansion.
"My Battle Pet isn't doing well."
Just after taking off, the owner of the Swift Shadow Rat said anxiously.
Lin Luo and the Lin Family group gathered around.
The owner summoned out the Swift Shadow Rat from Beast Taming Space.
It lay on the ground, black blood flowing from its seven orifices, barely breathing.
"It's poisoned!"
Seeing this, everyone realized the Swift Shadow Rat had been poisoned.
"Looks like the bolt from that crossbow was poisoned!"
One guard said fearfully.
If it had hit Young Master Lin, it would have been over for them all.
Lin Luo frowned and gritted his teeth.
He wondered why the Ye Family would arrange someone to attack with a poisoned crossbow bolt.
Even if it hit him, it might not be fatal.
After all, he was now a Bronze Rank Beast Tamer, with Spiritual Power inside—strictly speaking, not a mortal body but a spiritual one.
So he never expected a poison arrow.
He thought the Ye Family would have someone sneak up and use Battle Pets to ambush him.
But they overlooked the possibility of poisoning the bolt.
This way, even if it didn't kill him instantly, the poison would later claim his life.
If not for the Swift Shadow Rat, it would have been him poisoned.
"The Swift Shadow Rat took a poisoned arrow for me. Don't worry, I'll make sure it survives!"
Lin Luo was a grateful person and immediately told the rat's owner this.
Lin Yuan, Lin Zhen, Ye Qingrou, and the Six Great Elders' faces changed.
Sure enough, this Secret Realm trip wasn't entirely smooth.
They always said the Ye Family wouldn't miss this assassination opportunity.
So they decided they must save the Swift Shadow Rat.
Otherwise, knowing Lin Luo, it would hurt him deeply.
But when they examined the Swift Shadow Rat, they found the poison was already attacking its heart, and there was no hope for recovery.
Lin Yuan helplessly shook his head.
The rat's owner trembled—was his Swift Shadow Rat about to leave him?
This would damage his Spiritual Power and affect his Beast Taming career.
More importantly, in his heart, the rat was not just a Battle Pet but a partner.
If conditions had not been urgent, he might not have let the rat risk its life.
Seeing that even the elder had given a critical condition notice, Lin Luo frowned tightly.
Could it be that the Swift Shadow Rat would die saving him?
This was unacceptable to him.
At that moment, Lin Luo suddenly thought of the Green Wood Spirit Snake.
"Oh yeah, how could I forget it?"
Hearing Lin Luo's excited words, everyone looked at him.
Under their gaze, Lin Luo took out a Spirit Beast ball from his spatial ring.
He said to Lin Yuan, "Inside this ball is a Green Wood Spirit Snake. Its Talent is 'Wood Spirit Core,' which contains a tiny bit of life force."
"If the Swift Shadow Rat takes one, it will surely sustain its life, and we can save it."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, especially the rat's owner.
Lin Yuan immediately said, "Then release it quickly."
"It won't cooperate, so you'll need to forcibly extract one core from inside it."
Lin Luo told Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan nodded.
Lin Luo released the Green Wood Spirit Snake.
