Talent Swallowing System
Chapter 661 Vitality Stone

Other than 10 units of God Energy, the required materials for the [Forest Moon Hound] evolutionary path are:

1) Nature Fruit which can be found in the center of the forest.

2) Vitality Stone is a special stone that absorbs the energy in its surroundings and could be found inside a water body that was located in the forest.

'There might be some Vitality Stones inside that pool.'

The forest itself was not big and after walking for a while, Leo found a small pool.

'Shall I go inside and take a look?'

Leo checked his surroundings and saw some small beasts that ran away the moment they saw him.

As for the big and powerful beasts, they were lazily sleeping in their own small territories.

Inside the Beast Sanctuary, all the beasts living inside had their own territory. Hence, Leo was worried that the pool might be the territory of some powerful beast.

So, Leo was careful as he slowly approached the pool while ordering the Moon Hound Puppy to stay away from the pool.

'If there are any beasts inside the pool, I don't want them to misunderstand that I came to attack them with my contracted beast.'

This was what Leo thought when he kept his contracted beast away from the pool as he slowly approached it.

'Swoosh'

The water inside the pool was crystal clear and with a single look, Leo saw a huge black-coloured snake lying at the bottom of the lake.

'Hiss'

Seeing someone has approached its pool, the black snake slowly raised its head out of the pool and hissed at Leo as though it was warning him not to disturb its sleep.

'Is that the Vitality Stone?'

On the other hand, Leo was not scared of the snake despite the fact that it has a Gold Grade strength; instead, he looked into the pool to look for the Green-coloured shining stone.

Thanks to the crystal clear water, Leo could see a couple of shining green-coloured stones and without any hesitation, he used his talent to check out the information on it.

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

…

Item Name: Vitality Stone

Use: Keeping it close to the body would increase the vitality of the person or a beast.

…

'There are two Vitality Stones…good. I can evolve two of the moon hound puppies with those stones.'

Leo completely forgot about the black-coloured snake as he became excited for replaceing the vitality stones.

'Hiss'

However, the snake was not happy with Leo looking into its pool and even eyeing the vitality stones that it stored in its pool.

Hence, it hissed at Leo again and even came closer to Leo in order to scare him off.

"Since you are a gold-grade beast, I know you can understand my words, right?"

Nevertheless, Leo had seen more scary beasts than the black-coloured snake in front of him.

Therefore, he thought of making a deal with the Gold Grade Black-coloured snake.

'Hiss~'

For a moment, the snake was surprised to see that Leo was still standing without showing any signs of fear on his face.

Maybe it was curious about what Leo wanted, it nodded its head in understanding.

As a beast living in the Beast Sanctuary for quite a while, it knew how things worked in the Beast Sanctuary and it also knew that Leo was a newbie beast tamer who came to pick his first contracted beast.

Hence, it was not worried that Leo would try anything funny.

"I want those Vitality Stones."

Seeing that the snake nodded its head, Leo heaved a sigh of relief as he said what he wanted from the snake.

'Hiss'

Seeing that Leo pointed his finger at two vitality stones in the pool, the snake hissed in anger and hurriedly pushed Leo with its tail.

"Wait…wait…I still haven't said what I will give you in return."

Why would the black snake give the two vitality stones to a human just because he wants them?

Leo had already decided to give something in return for the vitality stones inside the pool.

'Hiss~'

However, the snake was no longer interested in Leo as it continued to hiss at him as though it was asking Leo to leave now.

'Boww'

From the back, Leo's first contracted beast saw that its master was being threatened by the black snake and hurriedly rushed forward to help Leo despite being a level 4 Bronze Grade Beast.

"Moon, don't bark."

Even though the moon hound puppy's intentions were good, Leo thought it would only put him in more danger as he asked it not to bark at the black-coloured snake.

'Hiss'

Surprisingly, the moment the black snake saw the moon hound puppy, it hissed in surprise before looking at Leo.

"That's right! This is my first contracted beast and I am planning to use that Vitality Stone to evolve it and its siblings."

When Leo saw that the black snake was looking at him, he unconsciously explained those things.

'Splash'

After hearing Leo's explanation, it looked at Leo and the moon hound puppy for a moment before diving into the water.

'What is it doing?'

Leo still didn't understand why the black snake's mood changed after looking at the moon hound puppy.

Nevertheless, he still stood in his position waiting for the black snake to return.

'Splash'

After waiting for a few moments, Leo saw the black snake come out of the pool and when he saw the stone in its mouth, Leo was surprised and excited at the same time.

The stone was none other than a Vitality Stone that Leo had asked the black snake about earlier.

'Hiss~'

Placing the vitality stone in his hand, the black snake hissed at Leo as though it was giving it to him.

"Is it really okay for me to take it?"

Actually, Leo wanted to ask 'Weren't you so angry just a few moments back when I mentioned the Vitality Stones? And now, you are giving it to me just like that?'

Leo could not believe that he got the Vitality Stone so easily as he looked at the moon hound puppy and patted it.

"However, I won't take it for free. I will give you something in return."
