Violet measured up the little beast curiously, as if it was an incredibly powerful monster.
"Gnome?"
Austin had never heard of such a thing before.
"Yes. They're very rare. In fact, their species is almost extinct.
The other diabolic beasts said that back in the ancient times, there were many gnomes.
They are good at finding various kinds of precious natural resources because they can sense them.
Gnomes like to eat underground minerals which contain intense spiritual energy."
"Wow! It sounds like they're really special!"
Austin's curiosity had been aroused by Violet's words.
Just then, the gnome pointed at his Space Ring again.
Austin laughed bitterly. He knew that the gnome wanted to eat the crystals in his Space Ring. He had collected these crystals from the round cave, and all of them contained a large amount of spiritual energy.
But since the gnome had found two kinds of precious natural materials for him, Austin didn't want to refuse its request. He took out three more crystals and gave them to the gnome.
The gnome let out a joyful cry before swallowing the crystals immediately.
"Little fellow, we have to say good-bye now," Austin said.
He had decided to hide in the imperial capital city and help the young man fight for the throne in half a year.
He walked toward the direction of the imperial capital city with Violet.
But after taking several dozen steps forward, he realized that the gnome was following closely behind. In fact, it was walking right beside him now.
"You want to go with us?" Austin asked, stopping.
The gnome quickly nodded.
'With this gnome by my side, I'll be able to find many precious natural resources in the future, ' Austin thought to himself excitedly.
He laughed and gestured to the gnome to jump on his shoulder.
The gnome didn't protest. In the blink of an eye, it was perched on Austin's shoulder. The three of them set off on their journey together.
Austin knew that he was being hunted furiously by people from the Flaming Sun Valley and the Blood Wolf Team. Both groups must have cultivators who were good at tracking.
He was especially worried about Blood Wolf Team members, who specialized in hunting and killing people. He knew that they would definitely find a way to track him.
To avoid being tracked, he kept choosing small mountain roads in remote mountain ranges along the journey.
A few days later, Austin found himself above a huge valley that covered an area of tens of thousands of miles. Looking at the chilly fog rolling up and down, Austin and Violet frowned.
Although they hadn't entered the valley yet, Austin could tell that it would be hard to resist the cold. When he heard the wind howling like ghosts crying, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.
Austin planned to change his route to bypass the valley, but the gnome stopped him. It pricked up its ears, twitched its nose, and sniffed carefully. And then, all of a sudden, it grabbed Austin's clothes and pointed at the valley.
Austin was a little surprised by this new development.
"There are treasures in the valley?"
The gnome nodded.
"Violet, how about having a look in the valley?" he asked.
Violet smiled.
"It's up to you, Master. I'll follow you wherever you want to go."
Austin thought about it for a while.
'Wealth and honor have always required adventure. Maybe there are some extremely valuable treasures in the valley. It would be a pity if I missed the chance.
Besides, the Golden Sun Scripture I have cultivated is a prime masculinity formula, so it should be sufficient for me to resist the cold in the valley.'
With that thought, Austin gritted his teeth and made up his mind to enter the valley.
He looked at Violet and reminded her, "You must follow me closely. Never stray more than thirty feet away from me."
"Got it!" Violet made a face at him. Then, she wrapped her clothes tighter around herself.
Without any hesitation, they headed toward the valley with the gnome.
