Chapter 18 Gold-Eating Rat (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Investment)
"The family sent me to the Qingyu Spirit Mine to deal with these sudden situations. If I have to wait for the family's support for everything, what's the point of this garrison immortal master?"
"The Qingyu Spirit Mine is generally a poor mine with a low content. The monsters here are at most first-class upper-grade. Even if they cannot be defeated, they are more than enough to protect themselves."
After carefully analyzing the current situation, Sun Mingsheng no longer hesitated and stepped into the mine. Under the guidance of a simple map, he went to the location where the monster appeared.
After killing and eating these miners, the monsters will naturally not stay in the same place, but they will definitely leave some clues.
Sun Mingsheng can make a rough judgment on the type and grade of the monsters through these remaining traces. At the very least, he must have a preliminary understanding of the monsters before the family's support arrives.
In the Qingyu Spirit Mine, there is an oil lamp covered in glass every hundred meters or so to illuminate the mine.
"Only pale bones are left, nothing else. It seems that this monster not only devours the green jade spirit mine, but also likes blood." In addition to some blood splashing around, only scattered bones were left at the scene.
And there are some distinct tooth marks on each bone, which is obviously eaten after being gnawed. This monster hunts miners just to fill its stomach.
Some residual claw marks can be seen around the bones, but because the geology is hard in the ore vein, the claw marks themselves are not obvious.
From these residual claw marks that are not obvious, he cannot make a clear judgment on the type of monster.
"After devouring the miner, it not only did not leave the green jade spirit mine, but went deeper. Could it be to continue hunting for blood?" Sun Mingsheng walked along the traces left by the monster.
Holding the Flame Sword in his right hand, a Fire Wall Talisman is buckled in the palm of his left hand. Once the monster appears, it is time to attack and defend with all his strength.
After a cup of tea, he could clearly see some traces left by the monsters after they had eaten the green jade spiritual ore, especially the two big front teeth that could not be covered.
"The places where the monsters gnawed were all the places with higher content of green jade. It turned out that it was a monster that knew how to distinguish spiritual ore."
As he learned more and more about the monsters, Sun Mingsheng became more and more interested, and even had the idea of forcibly subduing the monsters.
A living monster is obviously more valuable than killing it. It can not only assist in combat, but it is really profitable if some mineral veins can be found.
It seems that Sun Mingsheng has already penetrated into the most active area of the monsters. Without any signs, four earth arrows attacked from the front and went straight to his face.
As the ground shook, the unknown monsters were approaching quickly, obviously preparing for a close attack.
Faced with this situation, Sun Mingsheng, who had been prepared, was not anxious. He flicked his left hand, and a wall of fire suddenly appeared, separating the earth arrows from him.
The flame sword in his right hand ignited a layer of red flames, turned into a stream of light, and pierced the monster approaching on the ground at a lightning speed.
Sun Mingsheng whispered, waved his hands, and a red firebird appeared, with a pair of fiery red claws grabbing the monster from top to bottom.
Three huge, hot, red fireballs also appeared in his hands, and suddenly pushed forward and fell behind the monster, completely blocking its retreat.
The four earth arrows seemed to be unstoppable, but the power contained was not too strong, and did not break through the obstruction of the fire wall talisman.
The flame sword, the firebird technique, and the three fireballs attacked the monster from the front and back. If it could be implemented, it could at least severely injure it.
"Danger, no." Sun Mingsheng only had time to jump forward at the most dangerous moment, but a stone cone appeared from bottom to top above the position where he was originally standing.
If he had not dodged at the critical moment, this stone cone could easily tear it apart in the most bloody way.
There was still a wound about an inch deep on Sun Mingsheng's back. Waves of severe pain continued to invade the entire back, bringing a feeling of numbness.
"Squeak" Under the continuous attack of three means, the monster that had been hiding deep underground and relying on its natural talent finally revealed its true face.
A monster that was half the size of a cat, gray-black in color, with only two tufts of red-gold hair at the corners of its mouth that were very eye-catching.
The four claws had long nails, and perhaps because of the spiritual ore it devoured, there was a layer of metal-specific texture flashing on them.
"Gold-eating rat, no wonder it appeared in this barren green jade spiritual mine." Sun Mingsheng's eyes lit up, and the pressure in his heart suddenly reduced by half.
Gold-eating rats are good at underground escape and love to devour various spiritual ores. The more spiritual ores they devour, the faster their own cultivation level will be promoted.
In addition, the gold-eating rat is good at finding some spiritual mineral veins hidden underground that have not yet been discovered. It is a spiritual beast that many cultivation families and sects must keep in captivity.
Gold-eating rats are rarely seen on the market. With the hunting of many cultivators, the number of gold-eating rats is becoming increasingly scarce.
"If we can subdue the gold-eating rat in front of us, wouldn't it be an excellent way to earn cultivation resources in the future?" Sun Mingsheng's eyes lit up.
In his eyes, the gold-eating rat in front of him was not a troublesome monster at all, but a shining treasure with the light of spiritual stones.
Of course, it is very difficult to subdue this adult gold-eating rat in front of him. For many monsters, they would rather die than live in disgrace, and they value freedom very much.
"Squeak" A trace of hostility flashed in the eyes of the gold-eating rat, and its limbs stepped on the ground suddenly. Its slightly fat body was unprecedentedly flexible.
A pair of sharp front teeth rushed straight to his throat and bit him. The first wave of spells failed to defeat Sun Mingsheng, and he directly attacked with his strong body.
Sun Mingsheng clapped his hands, and three head-sized hot fireballs formed a "品" shape to meet the figure of the gold-eating rat. The flame sword turned gracefully halfway.
Accompanied by the red flame, it appeared like a spirit in the fire, appearing in the air and landing directly on the back of the gold-eating rat.
The gold-eating rat cried out in pain. After being hit and blocked one after another, it was already a little scared. It dug its limbs into the rocks, as if it was ready to escape.
"Fire wall, fall!" The burning wall of fire fell down and turned into a layer of red high-temperature flames, attached to the narrow ground in the mine.
The attack failed, and the escape failed. A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the gold-eating rat. More than ten golden red-gold long hairs at the corners of its mouth, under the blessing of magic power, turned into sharp rat hair needles, directly piercing Sun Mingsheng's entire front body.
The rat hair needles carried some paralyzing toxins, and this method could not be fully resisted by Sun Mingsheng's cultivation in the Qi Refining Period. He could only choose some important parts for defense.
