Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 249: Mysterious Little Gold Mouse

Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Mysterious Little Gold Mouse

It has to be said, the actions of the two little pythons caught Wyatt Barnes by surprise as well.

"Could it be that Little Black and Little White have found something to eat?"

Jovie Lee’s voice suddenly rang out, filled with astonishment.

"Most likely."

Wyatt Barnes agreed with Jovie Lee’s statement. These two little pythons were basically nothing more than two ’foodies’.

However, he was somewhat curious about what it could be that got these two little guys so ’excited’.

"Hiss~~"

The two little pythons seemed to understand the conversation between Wyatt Barnes and Jovie Lee. They turned their heads, frantically flicking their snake tongues, as if showing their dissatisfaction...

"Young Master, Sister Jovie, you both should stop talking about Little Black and Little White, they seem upset."

Keer gently stroked the two little pythons’ small heads, both of them affectionately rubbing against Keer passively. Afterward, they turned their heads again, continuing to stare steadily at the plate covered by a red cloth.

Wyatt Barnes smiled and shook his head, his gaze returning to the auction stage.

At that moment, the old man on the auction stage lifted the red cloth from the plate...

You could faintly see that inside a specially made small cage, there was a Fierce Beast with listless energy.

This Fierce Beast was a small mouse. Unlike the typical mouse that disgusts people, the body of this mouse was covered in golden fur, fluffy, resembling a plush toy from the earth in Wyatt’s previous life.

Currently, the little mouse was lying there, on the verge of falling asleep.

"Has it been drugged?"

Wyatt Barnes furrowed his brows, he instantly noticed that this golden-colored little mouse was under the effect of a medicine similar to ’Origin Force Blocker’.

The Origin Force Blocker was similar to the poison Fill Bear previously mentioned, which can suppress Origin Force.

"It’s so cute!"

When Jovie Lee and Keer saw this golden little mouse, their eyes sparkled, revealing a soft maternal glow.

"Hiss~~"

The two little pythons got extraordinarily excited after seeing the little golden mouse, and if it weren’t for Wyatt Barnes watching them, they might have already smashed through the window to get it.

"Little Black, Little White...you guys don’t plan on eating it, do you?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at the two little creatures with a peculiar look in his eyes.

"Little Black, Little White, behave yourselves, you can’t eat it!"

Jovie Lee and Keer hastily looked at the two little creatures, both saying in unison.

In response, both small creatures drooped their heads, with a distinct look of discontent appearing in their eyes.

"Are you both really planning on eating it?"

Wyatt Barnes felt somewhat speechless; isn’t there a saying ’birds of a feather flock together?’

"However, even if the poison in its body is removed, I’m afraid you two little guys won’t be able to eat it if you wanted to."

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze once again settled upon the little golden mouse, he could tell that this golden mouse’s strength, in its peak condition, probably isn’t any weaker than the two little pythons...

Perhaps even stronger!

"Young Master, are you saying that the little golden mouse is stronger than Little Black and Little White?"

Keer couldn’t help but gasp. She knew about the strength of the two little pythons...

This harmless looking adorable little golden mouse was stronger than them?

Jovie Lee was stunned as well, disbelief spread across her face, "Wyatt, you couldn’t have seen it wrong, could you?"

"Hiss~~"

The two small pythons seemed to understand Wyatt Barnes’s words. They glared at Wyatt Barnes. However, when they felt his gaze return to them, they immediately curled up, their heads drooped, looking dispirited.

"Both of you better not be dissatisfied."

Wyatt Barnes smiled.

"Young Master, can you buy it, please?"

Keer looked at the little golden mouse, her eyes flickering with maternal warmth.

"Yes, Wyatt, this little golden mouse is too cute."

Jovie Lee said in agreement.

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and smiled, "Since both of you like it, I’ll buy it...if I’m not mistaken, this little golden mouse is probably a ’Gold Hair Rat’."

"Gold Hair Rat?"

Keer had no significant reaction. However, Jovie Lee couldn’t help but exclaim, "Gold Hair Rat? The so-called King of the Fierce Beasts, the most formidable amongst the mouse-type Fierce Beasts?"

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, "I am judging it based on its characteristics, there’s a 90% chance it’s a ’Gold Hair Rat’... I will need to observe it closely after buying it to confirm."

Now, the old man on the auction stage began introducing the little golden mouse, "Ladies and gentlemen, this auction item is one of the final three items in tonight’s auction... I believe some of you might have realized, yes, this is a ’Gold Hair Rat’, and it’s still a juvenile!"

"Generally, the maximum strength of a juvenile Gold Hair Rat would probably be at Original Pill Realm... but this little one is at the Original Infant Realm, Seventh-Order!"

The old man’s words stirred up a huge commotion in the room, people chattering excitedly.

"A juvenile Gold Hair Rat, Original Infant Realm, Seventh-Order?"

"Does this mean that once this juvenile matures, it has the potential to become a half-step into the Void Realm?"

"Not just a half-step into the Void Realm... a ’Gold Hair Rat’, capable of reaching the Original Infant Realm, Seventh-Order at its juvenile stage, can be regarded as an Odd Species within the Gold Hair Rats, possessing exceptional talents! It might even transform into a Demon Beast."

"A Demon Beast? That’s a being at the Void Realm or above!"

...

Everyone became excited.

Buying this juvenile Gold Hair Rat would be equivalent to investing in a creature with the potential to become a ’Demon Beast’.

A Demon Beast that is as powerful as a ’practitioner of the Void Realm’!

"Hmph! Don’t get too happy too early, the Gold Hair Rat has a notorious reputation, do you all think you can tame it?"

At this moment, a mocking voice drifted from the corner of the room.

Instantly, the commotion within the hall quieted down.

Indeed, a fierce beast king like the ’Golden Fur Mouse’ wouldn’t be willing to submit to a human.

If you don’t possess formidable strength, don’t even think about keeping a ’Golden Fur Mouse’ under control.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this Golden Fur Mouse cub has been treated with our ’Origin Seal Fluid’, reducing its strength to the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm... As soon as this creature is bid on by any of our distinguished guests, our Marston Family Auction House will take responsibility and deliver it with the antidote."

The old man spoke once more, conveying his thoughts slowly.

"Young Master, what is this ’Origin Seal Fluid’?"

In VIP room number one, Keer asked Wyatt curiously.

"The Origin Seal Fluid is a type of ’severe poison’ used to suppress Origin Force, but it can only inhibit the Origin Force of warriors and fierce beasts below the Peep Naught Realm."

Wyatt explained that the Origin Seal Fluid could be considered a downgraded version of the ’Origin Seal Bug’.

It was far less ruthless than the Origin Seal Bug!

If it were the Origin Seal Bug, almost all beings apart from those ’above the Enter Void Realm’ would be affected.

Like Fill Bear, they were poisoned by the Origin Seal Bug in the past.

Hearing this, Keer seemed to have an epiphany.

"I didn’t expect that this Golden Fur Mouse cub was even more formidable than Little Black and Little White..."

Jovie remarked surprisingly, which agitated the two little pythons. Their small eyes were full of discontent.

"You two little things, are you still not convinced?"

Wyatt flicked the little heads of the two pythons slightly with his fingers. His gaze fell back on the Golden Fur Mouse cub and his brow furrowed slightly, "The Golden Fur Mouse cub, prior to adulthood, should reach at most the ninth level of the Original Pill Realm... It seems, this Little Gold Mouse, is not that simple."

Just then, Wyatt hadn’t realized the little gold mouse was a cub.

Only now, hearing the old man’s explanation, did he realize and begin to grasp the enigmatic nature of the little golden mouse.

At this moment, the auction for the Golden Fur Mouse cub started...

"One million gold coins!"

A loud voice from one of the rooms on the second floor immediately drowned out all the previous biddings.

Immediately, the hall fell silent.

One million gold coins, the equivalent to ’a hundred million silver coins’!

Almost no one in the hall could afford such a high price.

"It’s VIP room seven again!"

Wyatt was a bit surprised. Earlier in the ’Silver Separation Grass’ auction, he barely managed, by way of a two million silver coin bid, to defeat the 1.7 million silver coin bid of VIP room seven.

"One million and a half gold coins!"

At this moment, another voice from a different room came.

"Two million gold coins!"

Another voice echoed from yet another room.

Wyatt twitched at the sheer opulence of these bidders...

Finally, after the man from room number seven called out a bid of ’three million gold coins’, the auction fell silent.

"Three million gold coins! That’s three hundred million silver coins!"

"Just who is in room number seven to be so generous?!"

"Only the auction house staff are informed about the VIPs in the second-floor rooms. Even when they leave, it’s through a special exit."

"Maybe it’s someone from the three major families in Blackwind City, or perhaps some big business tycoon."

...

Even the onlookers in the hall were shocked by the exorbitant price.

Three million gold coins!

To them, this was an astronomical fortune.

"VIP from room number seven has bid three million gold coins... Is there any guest willing to continue with a higher bid?"

The old man occupying on the auction stand also grew somewhat excited, "Three million gold coins for the first time... Three million gold coins for the second time..."

"Three million and ten thousand gold coins!"

Under the expectant gazes of Jovie and Keer, Wyatt raised the bid calmly and steadily.

The moment Wyatt’s voice rang out, the entire hall fell silent.

After a while, the hall burst into an uproar.

"Everyone else is raising in increments of tens of thousands, isn’t the participant in room number one being too stingy"?

"Indeed, they only increased the previous bid by ten thousand."

...

Many people started to debate among themselves.

Wyatt, hearing these comments, didn’t care in the slightest.

Ten thousand?

That may sound trivial!

But we’re talking about gold coins here, not silver ones.

Ten thousand gold coins are equivalent to one million silver coins, which can buy a thoroughbred horse!

And that’s considered a small amount?

The loud voice from VIP room seven resounded again, "Three million fifty-thousand gold coins!"

The people in the hall couldn’t help but admire. "That’s what you call domineering, he directly increased the bid by forty-nine thousand gold coins..."

"Exactly, compared to the guest of room number seven, the occupant of room number one seems stingier."

"I wonder if the guest in room number one will continue to increase his bid."

...

Amid the ongoing debates in the hall, Wyatt lazily said, "Three million fifty-one thousand gold coins!"
