CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32: CYAN WOOD SHEEP

Star Treasures refer to items containing Star Power, encompassing a wide range including plants, fruits, minerals, and more.

They are called Star Treasures instead of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures because their effects and rarity do not reach the level of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Star Treasures can be divided into nine grades, with the first grade being the lowest and the ninth grade the highest.

Chu Chen’s small movements naturally did not escape the eyes of those around him.

Soon, everyone began to emulate, searching for suitable teammates.

All of this was observed by the school leaders.

Zhang Haoxiang looked in the direction of Chu Chen and said with a smile, "This little guy is smart, forming a team so quickly."

The director of teaching quickly echoed with a smile, "This student is called Chu Chen. His grades have always been in the top three of the school, but unfortunately, his Cultivation Talent is only at the Yellow Rank Upper Grade."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Haoxiang waved his hand and said, "Talent only decides the speed of cultivation; becoming a strong person doesn’t entirely depend on it. Take the Seven Emperors, for example—three of them had Cultivation Talents that were only at the Cyan Rank, and this little guy’s cultivation speed isn’t slow."

The director of teaching quickly agreed, saying, "The principal is right; you have keen insight, as always."

While the two spoke, the students had already turned into a chaotic mess.

However, Chu Chen and the other four were not involved; they led everyone else and were the first to enter the forest.

After entering the forest, Chu Chen did not immediately search for Star Beasts but instead assessed the surrounding environment.

The vegetation in the forest was extremely dense, with person-high weeds covering the ground, massive trees that required two people to hug them everywhere in sight, the sounds of insects and birds ringing incessantly, and even the air was extraordinarily fresh.

"Scholar, what should we do next?" Gangzi patted Chu Chen on the shoulder and asked in a low voice.

Chu Chen replied with a smile, "No rush, let’s first summon our Guardian Beasts. Although we’re at the forest’s outermost area, there’s still a high chance of encountering Star Beasts."

The four nodded in agreement and quickly summoned their Guardian Beasts.

The Iron Armor Giant Lizard stood nearly two meters tall and was an absolute behemoth among the five Guardian Beasts. Therefore, when traveling, Chu Chen decided to use it as a means of transportation, while the other four Guardian Beasts surrounded it.

The Earth Rock Rat was at the forefront of the team; its hearing was extremely sharp. Even without using Earth Vein Detection, it could still catch any movement within a hundred meters.

A quarter of an hour later, the Earth Rock Rat suddenly stopped and turned its head towards Skinny, emitting a rapid "squeak-squeak" sound.

Seeing this, Skinny quickly reminded, "There is a Star Beast ahead."

Everyone turned their gaze to Chu Chen, who had clearly earned the recognition of the four.

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly said, "Stop moving forward and let the Earth Rock Rat investigate the specific situation, while the other four Guardian Beasts remain vigilant."

Skinny did not hesitate and immediately directed the Earth Rock Rat to scout.

A minute later, the Earth Rock Rat leapt out from the grass, energetically jumping onto Skinny’s shoulder. It raised its paws and gestured vigorously while emitting an urgent "squeak-squeak" sound from its mouth.

Skinny gently stroked the Earth Rock Rat’s head to calm it.

"Skinny, stop calming it down. Quickly tell us what’s going on ahead?" Gangzi asked impatiently.

Skinny wasn’t annoyed by this, as Gangzi’s straightforward character, where he says what he thinks, made him easy to get along with.

"About a hundred meters ahead, there’s a group of sheep-like Star Beasts, probably around ten of them," Skinny said gravely.

Upon hearing this, the three turned their eyes to Chu Chen, waiting for his decision.

Seeing this, Chu Chen said in a low voice, "Let’s check it out first. The strength of the Star Beasts appearing here shouldn’t be too strong."

Wang Lu and the others hesitated for a moment but then nodded.

The Iron Armor Giant Lizard advanced slowly, taking several minutes to cover the hundred meters.

"Squeak-squeak"

The Earth Rock Rat jumped onto the head of the Iron Armor Giant Lizard, pointed forward with its paws, and made a quick sound.

No translation from Skinny was needed; everyone understood the Earth Rock Rat’s meaning.

Chu Chen jumped down from the back of the Iron Armor Giant Lizard and walked forward.

Gently parting the grass, Chu Chen saw a grassland spanning nearly a thousand square meters ahead, where twelve sheep-like Star Beasts were grazing.

The sheep-like Star Beasts were about one and a half meters tall at the shoulders, with a body length of up to three meters. They had half-meter-long cyan curved horns on their heads and light cyan fur on their bodies. Their eyes were like those of demons, vigilantly scanning their surroundings, and their limbs were muscular, indicating they possessed astonishing explosive power.

Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately showed a gleeful expression, clearly having recognized these Star Beasts.

These sheep-like Star Beasts were called Cyan Wood Sheep, a type of wood attribute Star Beast. They were Ordinary Level Middle Grade, usually ranging from Fourth Rank Slave Level to Sixth Rank in Realm. Their main attack method is to charge. They are naturally vigilant and will flee at the slightest disturbance, but they are extremely united. If one Cyan Wood Sheep is attacked, others of its kind will immediately assist.

Chu Chen retreated slowly, careful not to alarm the Cyan Wood Sheep.

When he returned to the team, Wang Lu and the others immediately gathered around him.

"What kind of Star Beasts are these? Should we make a move?" Wang Lu asked urgently.

Chu Chen didn’t hide anything and informed everyone of the information he knew.

After some thought, Gangzi said in a deep voice, "Why don’t we just attack and kill as many as we can?"

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "No, with our strength, at most we can only kill three Cyan Wood Sheep. The others will certainly flee once they see their kind killed."

"Then what should we do? We can’t just wait here," Gangzi said seriously.

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Don’t rush; let the Earth Rock Rat lure a Cyan Wood Sheep over, and then we’ll..."

"This is a good plan; we can capture them all at once. I’ll have the Earth Rock Rat lure a Cyan Wood Sheep over now," Skinny said excitedly.

"Go ahead," Chu Chen nodded and smiled.

Skinny did not hesitate, commanding the Earth Rock Rat to rush towards the Cyan Wood Sheep.

The Earth Rock Rat was extremely fast, reaching a Cyan Wood Sheep in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the Cyan Wood Sheep was startled and instinctively prepared to flee. But upon seeing the Earth Rock Rat, it stopped.

To it, this tiny creature posed no threat, and it seemed unlikely that this small being would dare to attack it, perhaps just passing by.

Just as the Cyan Wood Sheep was pondering, the Earth Rock Rat suddenly attacked. Lifting its claws, an earth-yellow light instantly enveloped it, and the mouse’s claws left four deep, bone-revealing wounds on the Cyan Wood Sheep’s left foreleg.

The Cyan Wood Sheep widened its eyes in disbelief at the small creature below, a sharp pain from its leg igniting its rage.

It emitted an angry "baa," raising its hooves to stomp towards the Earth Rock Rat.

The Earth Rock Rat showed no panic. It kicked its legs hard, shooting towards Chu Chen like an arrow.
