Chapter 18 The Gold-eating Rat (please collect, recommend, and invest)
"The family sent me to station at the Jade Spirit Mine to deal with these sudden situations. If I have to wait for the family's support in everything, what's the use of stationing the immortal master?"
"The Sapphire Spirit Mine is a poor ore as a whole, and the content is not very high. If you choose the monsters here to be at least a first-order high-grade one, even if you cannot defeat them, it is more than enough to protect yourself."
After carefully analyzing the current situation, Sun Mingsheng no longer hesitated and walked towards the mine, guided by a simple map towards the location where the monster appeared.
After the monster beast kills and eats these miners, it will naturally not stay in the same place, but it will definitely leave some clues.
Through these remaining traces, Sun Mingsheng could make a rough judgment on the type and level of the monster. At the very least, he would have to have a preliminary understanding of the monster before family support arrived.
Within the Sapphire Mine, every 100 meters or so there is an oil lamp covered in colored glass specifically used to illuminate the mine.
"Only pale white bones are left, and nothing else is left. This monster seems to not only devour the sapphire spirit minerals, but also likes to eat blood." Except for some blood splashing around, there are only scattered branches left on the scene. of bones.
And there are some distinct tooth marks on each white bone, which are obviously eaten. This monster hunts the miners obviously just to fill its stomach.
Some residual claw marks can be seen around the white bones, but because of the hard geology in the veins, the claw marks themselves are not obvious.
From these unclear claw marks, he could not make a clear judgment on the type of monster.
"After devouring the miners, not only did he not leave the Jade Mine, but he entered deeper. Could it be that he wanted to continue hunting for blood?" Sun Mingsheng walked along the traces left by the monster.
He holds the Fire Sword in his right hand, and a fire wall talisman is clasped 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 the traces left by some monsters after they had eaten the sapphire mineral, especially the two front teeth that could not be covered up.
"The places where the monster gnaws are all places with higher sapphire content, and it turns out to be a monster that knows how to distinguish spiritual minerals."
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 obviously has more value than killing it. It can not only assist in combat, but if some mineral veins can be found, it will be a real profit.
It seemed that Sun Mingsheng had penetrated deep into the area where the monsters were most active. Without any warning, four earth arrows struck from the front and went straight to his face.
As the ground rumbled, an unknown monster was approaching quickly, obviously preparing for a close attack.
Faced with this situation, Sun Mingsheng, who had been prepared for a long time, did not panic. With a flick of his left hand, a wall of fire suddenly appeared, isolating the earth arrow from him.
The Flame Sword in his right hand ignited a layer of crimson flames, turned into a stream of light, and struck at the approaching monster on the ground with lightning speed.
Sun Mingsheng whispered in his mouth, waved his hands, and a red firebird appeared, with a pair of red claws grabbing the monster's position from top to bottom.
Three huge, scorching red fireballs also appeared in his hands. They were suddenly pushed forward and landed behind the monster, completely blocking its retreat.
The four earth arrows seemed to be moving forward in an indomitable way, but the power contained in them was not too strong, and they did not break through the barrier of the Fire Wall Talisman.
The Flame Sword, Fire Bird Technique, and three fireballs are used to attack the monster beast from the front and back. If it can be implemented, it can at least severely damage it.
"It's dangerous, that's not right." Sun Mingsheng only had time to jump forward at the most dangerous moment, but a stone cone appeared from the bottom up above where he was originally standing.
If he hadn't dodged at the critical moment, this stone cone could easily tear it apart in the bloodiest way.
There was still a wound that was an inch deep on Sun Mingsheng's back, and waves of severe pain continued to invade his entire back, causing a sense of numbness.
"Zhi" Under the series of attacks by three methods, the monster beast that had been hiding deep underground and relying on its talent to move around finally revealed its true face in Lushan.
One is half the size of a cat, and is gray-black in color, except for two tufts of eye-catching red-gold hair at the corners of its mouth.
The four claws have long nails, perhaps because they swallowed the spiritual minerals, and there is a layer of metal-specific texture flashing on them.
"The gold-eating rat, no wonder it appears in this barren sapphire mine." Sun Mingsheng's eyes lit up, and most of the pressure in his heart suddenly disappeared.
The Gold Devouring Rat is good at escaping underground, and loves to devour all kinds of spiritual minerals. The more spiritual minerals it swallows, the faster its own cultivation level will be promoted.
In addition, the gold-devouring rat is good at finding some undiscovered spiritual mineral veins hidden underground, and it is a spiritual beast that many cultivating families and sects must keep in captivity.
Gold-eating rats rarely appear on the market. With the hunting of many monks, the number of gold-eating rats has become increasingly rare.
"If we can subdue the gold-eating rat in front of us, wouldn't there be an excellent way to earn cultivation resources in the future?" Sun Mingsheng's eyes lit up with a light.
In his eyes, the gold-devouring rat in front of him was not a troublesome monster at all, but a sparkling treasure that shimmered with the light of spiritual stones.
Of course, it is very difficult to subdue the adult gold-eating rat in front of you. For many monsters, they would rather be broken into pieces than destroyed, and they value freedom very much.
"Zhizhi" The gold-devouring rat's eyes flashed with a trace of ferocity, and its limbs stepped on the ground with force, and its slightly plump figure was unprecedentedly flexible.
A pair of sharp front teeth went straight to bite him at his throat. The first wave of spells did not reach Sun Mingsheng, and he directly attacked with his powerful physical body.
Sun Mingsheng pinched his hands, and three head-sized blazing fireballs formed a Z-shaped shape to face the attacking figure of the gold-devouring rat. The Flame Sword made an elegant turn in the middle of the way.
Accompanied by the crimson flames, like an elf in the fire, it appeared first and appeared in the sky, landing directly on the back of the gold-eating rat.
A painful scream was heard from the Gold-Eating Rat. After being hit and blocked one after another, it was already a little frightened and dug its limbs into the rock, looking like it was ready to escape.
"Wall of fire, fall down." The wall of fire that had been burning poured down and turned into a layer of red, high-temperature flames that adhered to the small ground in the mine.
The attack failed and the escape failed. A vicious light flashed in the eyes of the gold-eating rat. The more than ten golden red-gold hairs at the corners of its mouth turned into sharp rat-hair needles under the blessing of mana. , directly stabbing Sun Mingsheng's entire predecessor.
There are some paralyzing toxins on the rat hair needles, and this method cannot be completely resisted by Sun Mingsheng's cultivation during the Qi refining period. He can only choose some important parts for defense.
