Chapter Twenty-Nine: Bloodthirsty Rats
...
I don't know how long it has been, the sky is getting brighter, the faint light spots are moving slowly at the entrance of the cave, the sleeping Ji Fan's eyelids are fluttering, his eyes suddenly open for a moment, and he looks at the top of the cave in a daze, the innate spirit, the attribute of death, the alternation of reality and dreams, yesterday's memories rushed into his brain like a dream, making him think for a while, suddenly remembered something, swept his head, and a pair of bright and waveless eyes were staring at him indifferently.
"Awake?" came the familiar flat tone, as if yesterday's joy had cooled.
"Didn't Senior Brother rest?" Ji Fan yawned, sat up and rubbed his eyes, seeing that there were many strange bottles and cans in front of Yue Qing at this moment.
"What is this?" he asked, crouching down to the side, picking up a blade of grass from the jar, looking at it in surprise, and then putting it down.
"Seeing that you haven't gotten up for a long time, I went out to get together the adjuvant medicine first. Yue Qing sorted the blades of grass on the ground and placed them without raising his head.
"Excipients?" Ji Fan was stunned, and quickly remembered the conversation between the two last night, so he didn't continue to ask.
Boredom watched Yue Qing busy, and after a moment, he swept the serious face, and asked with a chuckle, "Did Senior Brother learn all these things by himself?"
Since the experience, Yue Qing seems to be able to do everything steadily, neatly, and without the slightest drag.
Yue Qing made a movement in his hand, chuckled and quipped, "What's the matter, envy?"
Ji Fan was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "... Of course, I am envious, my senior brother has always been a role model in my heart. ”
Yue Qing pursed his lips and did not answer, but carefully put away the herbs one by one, and when the last grass blade was put away, he stood up and pinched his shoulders and said, "No way, no father or mother, born alone, a person must always learn to survive." ”
Ji Fan's smile darkened, these helpless-sounding words touched his heart deeply, thinking about it carefully, over the years, their seven brothers and sisters have relied on each other and grown up together in Tianqing Courtyard, and everyone is trying their best to hide the trauma of being abandoned by their parents.
And as time passed, that trauma was no longer as painful as it was at the beginning, and the seven gradually buried it in their hearts, never forgetting it, but never mentioning it.
But Yue Qing didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he said it in a joking way, he peeked in, but found that Yue Qing looked like an ancient well, he couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow, and there was no softness in his eyes, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
It is very rare for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy to be so calm and unwavering when he proposes to be abandoned by his parents. The mind, so to speak, has grasped its own emotions, to a rather terrifying point.
However, this kind of thing, Ji Fan has also experienced it personally, and naturally knows the kind of sadness and sadness in his heart, with his personal opinion, Yue Qing will definitely not forget this, but he is buried far deeper than him in his heart.
For a moment he sighed secretly, perhaps this strong and calm posture was the best way to protect himself.
"Let's go, I hope you'll be lucky enough to come across a four-grade elixir that is not guarded by a spirit beast. Yue Qing greeted Ji Fan, who was stunned, and then the two of them came out of the cave and slowly walked towards the terrifying mountains and forests in the distance.
.........
Among the mountains and ravines, there is a very unique towering peak, which is not connected with the mountains, such as standing out from the crowd, looking at it from afar, the peak is snow-white, accompanied by the clouds, revealing the cold air.
The two of them walked at full speed.
I don't know how long it took, the warblers and sparrows around them disappeared, leaving only a quiet and somewhat terrible wood, and the two of them were vigilant, not knowing what danger lurked in this deep ahead.
"Have we reached the interior of Spirit Mountain?"
"It's not even the edge. ”
The two paused, finding nothing around, and got up to move on.
"Tsk!"
Walking further, a creature the size of a zhang suddenly appeared on the side, clinging to the gap between the rocks, with a nose twitching, as if looking for food, Ji Fan took a closer look, and looked like a mouse, and couldn't help but wonder if the mice in the inner edge of the area had such a big body?
"What kind of rat, this is the Blood-Eating Rat!"
Yue Qing reprimanded, and Ji Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this, the Blood Devouring Rat is a low-level spirit beast with low ability, because it is only active in underground caves on weekdays, so it is relatively rare, I didn't expect to meet one today, in the introduction of the Bounty Illustrated Book, the claws of this spirit beast can be exchanged for three hundred spirit stones!
"Let me come, brother!"
Knowing that the blood-devouring rat in front of him only had four stages of aura, he suddenly became excited, grabbed Yue Qing, who was about to step forward to solve it with a knife, and said, "I want to try the resistance of the Spirit Destroying Ancient Nightmare Body......"
Yesterday, he had just broken through the second layer of the Spirit Cutting Ancient Nightmare Body, and he was looking for a suitable spirit beast to try his defense, and this Blood Devouring Rat was not the best choice?
"How do you try, is it reliable?" Yue Qing frowned, he didn't doubt the ability of the Spirit Destroying Ancient Nightmare Body, but to make sure that nothing went wrong, after all, he had just discovered that Ji Fan had a rare death attribute for eternity, and he would never allow any mistakes.
The blood-devouring rat's little eyes glowing green did not have the slightest rat's timidity, and its sharp claws looked very ferocious, Ji Fan walked to a position, looked around, picked up a stone by the stream and threw it over, such a provocative behavior, the blood-eating rat suddenly exploded, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth and pounced.
"Come on, Spirit Warrior, let me see how powerful you really are......"
The aura quietly circulated in the body, Ji Fan's fist arm was black and swirling, looking at the blood-devouring rat that had been killed, he simply and directly punched over, his hands and claws collided, Yue Qing's heart was raised, but what was surprising was that one person and one beast each took a step back, Ji Fan was safe, and the black aura on his arm standing there rose slightly.
"Great!"
After a move, Ji Fan's expression was a little excited, after all, since ancient times, few people said that they could directly fight with spirit beasts like this, after all, the human body is inherently fragile, and any external force can be a devastating blow, not to mention a spirit beast known for its strength.
And now, he's done just that!
After the temptation, Ji Fan excitedly let go of his hands and feet, opened and closed, although his hands and feet were numb from the shock, he did not retreat, and the battle gradually became white-hot.
Yue Qing breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the rock next to him and yawned, and after a while, Ji Fan walked over, the dagger in his palm was dripping blood, and he could only fight evenly with his body, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, so he had to use a weapon to solve it.
"Comfortable fighting?" Yue Qing said with a smile.
"Well, I didn't expect this Spirit Cutting Ancient Nightmare Body to have such an effect, I was quite apprehensive before. ”
"It's quite powerful, now it's difficult for a weak spirit beast like a blood devouring rat in the same level to threaten you, but you still have to be careful of high-explosive spirit beasts, especially tigers, lions and leopards, they can easily pierce your flesh, after all, no matter how strong we are, we are still inferior to spirit beasts after all." ”
Ji Fan nodded, Yue Qing analyzed it very thoroughly, the scar left by the green-eyed beast when he first entered the mountain range was still engraved on his shoulder, and at that time, the first layer of the Spirit Cutting Ancient Nightmare Body he cultivated had already been completed.
The two of them continued on their way.
