Chapter 298: Two hundred ninety-eight plans do not change quickly
If Yun Xiao were here, he would instantly recognize that the fire-red rat sneaking into the Mysterious Artifact Hall, regarded as a Treasure Stealer by Yin Huan and Shi Ping, was none other than his companion Chi Yan, whom he had picked up from Yurong Mountain!
Chi Yan was originally a Fire Cloud Rat, famously known in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. As it matured, it could even evolve into the fearsomely formidable Fiery Holy Rat, a supremely esteemed species among Vein Demons.
Even Yun Xiao didn’t know why such a noble-blooded Fire Cloud Rat would appear in the humble Hidden Dragon Continent, but after spending some time with Chi Yan, he had stopped pondering these things and simply accepted it as his companion.
After absorbing the Fiery Fire Ganoderma that Yun Xiao had obtained for it, Chi Yan finally advanced to the Fourth Rank Intermediate level. However, since Yun Xiao had gone to the Meridian Treasure, it had felt somewhat bored staying alone at the Jade Pot Sect.
Boredom led Chi Yan to wander aimlessly and eventually discover a fascinating place, the Mysterious Artifact Hall of the Poison Vein lineage in the Inner Sect - a place brimming with enticing treasures.
With its considerable Spiritual Wisdom, Chi Yan also knew Yun Xiao was on good terms with the Medical Pulse lineage and not so with the Poison Vein lineage, thus it chose the Mysterious Artifact Hall of the latter.
Fire Cloud Rats have inherent pride, and it would never have stayed by Yun Xiao’s side if not for his possession of the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, and it saw taking some treasures from the Poison Vein lineage’s Mysterious Artifact Hall as no big deal.
Chi Yan’s ventures had been smooth up until now, having tasted some sweet rewards. Although many items in the Poison Vein Mysterious Artifact Hall contained deadly poisons, this was no issue for a Fire Cloud Rat with its unique physique.
Thus, after a few days, Chi Yan sneaked into the Mysterious Artifact Hall again, never expecting that this time, a Heaven and Earth Net awaited it, putting its very life at risk with one careless move.
Upon entering the Poison Vein Mysterious Artifact Hall, Chi Yan sensed an immensely powerful Fire Attribute presence first and foremost and was instantly drawn to it, sensing a substantial gain this time.
