This is indeed the truth, when Chu Ge was in Kayang Village, a steel-maned fighting pig at the lower level of the fighting rank, Chu Ge had to prepare and find a good time to kill it smoothly, if several came at the same time, with his strength, I am afraid that he could only die under the fangs of the steel-maned fighting pig.

"Seeing that you are young, it makes a lot of sense!, but ......" Chu Ge pinched his chin and asked, "If we cooperate, what is the benefit?"

Jiao Hougen snorted lightly when he heard this: "For me, there are some benefits, but for you, being able to fight side by side with a one-star magic master can not only increase your knowledge, but also provide more security for survival." ”

Chu Ge thought to himself that this guy was too narcissistic, he was just a one-star magician, maybe he was experienced and powerful, maybe he was not as good as Aha!

But on second thought, two people do sometimes have a lot of benefits over one, provided that the items needed don't conflict.

Chu Ge said: "If the items we need do not conflict, I can consider cooperation, but you were very secretive before." ”

"It's very simple, as long as you agree to cooperate, I can tell you what I have been asked to do. Jiao Hougen looked at Chu Ge and said, "But you also have to tell me what you need." ”

"First of all, I'm not a magician, so I can't receive the commission, and I may not be able to get the things I need. Chu Ge didn't tell him about Shen Zeren's leakage of the commission.

Jiao Hougen could see that Chu Ge didn't believe in himself, so he said calmly: "I need to melt the queen ant's eggs and vermilion fruit." ”

"Huh~" After Chu Ge heard what he needed, he also hesitated, it was not in his plan to melt the queen eggs, but Zhu Guguo, he had still done his homework, should he find out now that he also needed Zhu Guguo, it may be very easy to have conflicts.

But if you don't talk about it now, what should you do when you find Zhu Luguo, and then you will be unkind to talk about it then.

"I need the tail of the poison-tailed rat, and ...... Zhu Fruit. Chu Ge paused, and then added Zhu Yuguo.

Seeing Chu Ge's somewhat embarrassed expression, Jiao Hougen also thought for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and then asked, "Do you want Zhu Guguo, are you going to deliver the commission?"

Chu Ge looked at Jiao Hougen vigilantly, wondering how he knew!

"Don't look at me like this, yesterday others said that they saw you go to the Shen Family Chamber of Commerce with the young city lord, and I think he more or less revealed some of the content of the commission to you. ”

"Although I also want Zhu Guguo, it is not for the purpose of delivering the commission, but for other purposes. ”

"Moreover, there will generally be more than one Zhu Portuguese, you can find it, you take your share, I take my share, and the rest is divided equally. How is it?" Jiao Hougen said sincerely.

"So, apart from Zhu Guguo, what we need is not in conflict?" This is good news, for Chu Ge, the magic coinage is too important at the moment.

Jiao Hougen nodded.

"In that case, it's a pleasure to work with. ”

The two tentatively reached an agreement and began to discuss the route of travel.

Since Jiao Hougen was familiar with this place, then he must know something about the poison-tailed rat, and I saw him take out a salallow rag, on which something was drawn crookedly, and he was carefully looking at the outline of those pictures, as if it was the geographical distribution map of Silian Mountain.

"This is a good thing, where did you get it?" Chu Ge looked at the map that Jiao Hougen took out and asked with interest.

Jiao Hougen didn't turn his head to look at him, looked at the map intently, pointed to a black dot in the east and said, "This is Misty City, and where we are now is the Misty Valley directly south of Silian Mountain. ”

"Silian Mountain is more than ten miles longitudinal and horizontal from north to south, and can be entered from many valleys, and we happen to be the fastest to enter the misty valley of Silian Mountain. ”

"The poison-tailed rat you want is a mid-level and high-level beast, and I've seen them here before. ”

"They are not large, and they have no combat effectiveness alone, but the venom glands of the tail can spray venom that can paralyze animals, if one or two are easy to guard, but they are social beasts, twenty or thirty of them are dispatched at the same time, and it is impossible to prevent them. ”

Twenty or thirty, I'm obedient, and there are very few people in island countries who play like this.

Chu Ge asked, "Then what should I do, lead them out one by one and kill them?"

"Huh. Jiao Hougen smiled: "That is the first benefit of your cooperation with me, the venom in the venom gland of the poison-tailed rat will lose its activity when it encounters an open flame, and I happen to be their nemesis." ”

I didn't expect that there would be such a coincidental thing in the world, and the Jiao Hougen I met just restrained the poison-tailed rat.

The two of them had made up their minds and walked into the valley.

Mist Valley, as the name suggests, is a thin mist that covers the valley all year round, so the valley is humid and sultry, and the plants are abnormally thick, so it is a holy place for strange beasts to hide.

"How long will it take to meet a poison-tailed rat, it's like a sauna. The valley was wet and hot, which made Chu Ge, who had only walked less than a mile, covered in sweat, similar to taking a steam sauna, and Aha also called out "Ha Ha Ha Ha" dissatisfied.

"What is a sauna?" Jiao Hougen didn't understand the modern noun Chu Ge said.

"Sauna is a way of bathing the body by heating hot water, instead of bathing directly with hot water. Chu Ge explained to him in a very popular way.

Suddenly, Jiao Hougen stopped and motioned for Chu Ge to stop as well.

He put his palm to his ear and listened around, "Did you hear that? ”

Chu Ge also put his palm to his ear, and he couldn't hear anything except the sound of the air whirling: "No, I can't hear anything." ”

There was a slight creaking sound, like the sound of a poison-tailed rat eating something, in the direction of the woods on the left in front of us. After speaking, Jiao Hougen walked forward quickly.

Chu Ge also strode after him.

Walked to a small slope, there are only a few small trees three or four zhang high on the slope, but in the middle of the slope, there is a big tree more than ten zhang high that needs to be hugged by five or six people.

The trees were covered with thick dead leaves, and the breeze swept by, causing the green leaves on the trees to rustle with the dead leaves on the ground.

Jiao Hougen walked towards the big tree and said, "The sound came from that location. ”

"You mean, the poison-tailed rat is under this tree?"

"No, in the trunk of this big tree. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, bring them out and kill them. Chu Ge took out a black flat-headed machete with a blade of one foot in length from his luggage, and was eager to try it.

"Oh, the alien beasts that live in groups are much smarter than you think, although the poison-tailed rats mostly feed on flowers and fruits, but they do not eat meat. The scorched roots slowly approached the big tree in small steps, and stopped a few feet away from the big tree.

I saw him bend down, pick up a dead branch on the ground, and remove the dead leaves from the ground.

There was a strange feeling around the tree, and it was surprisingly quiet except for the sound of leaves.

"What are you doing? Sneaky some. Chu Ge still didn't understand what Jiao Hougen was doing.

Jiao Hougen turned his head and made a quiet gesture, signaling Chu Ge not to speak.

He kept stirring the dead leaves on the ground, and the thick dead leaves were pushed in all directions to reveal the ground.

Then he stood up to the ground and continued to repeat the action in all directions.

Chu Ge couldn't wait, so he picked up a branch, walked to Jiao Hougen's side, and learned his movements.

At this time, Jiao Hougen whispered: "This poison-tailed rat is extremely cunning, and knows that fire is their nemesis, so they usually place traps near their nests. ”

"Do you want to be so mysterious? It's like they're very intelligent. Just as Chu Ge finished saying this, the branch that was picking up the dead leaves in his hand seemed to be entangled in something.

Pulling it back hard, there was a "bang", and the top of the branch in his hand was wrapped around this section of black greasy vine-like object, and the vine still carried countless sharp thorns.

"This is?" Chu Ge looked at Jiao Hougen.

Jiao Hougen looked at Chu Ge and said, "This is their trap. ”

"This vine is called the fire vine, and a little spark can make it burn. ”

"Didn't you say that they were afraid of fire, why did they put this kind of flammable material near the direct nest?" Chu Ge was puzzled, wouldn't it be finished if others lit them.

Jiao Hougen did not answer him, but continued with the work at hand.

It took a long time for the two of them to find more and more fire vines, except for the foot of the tree, under the dead leaves within a radius of ten zhang, all of them were covered with thorny fire vines.

"This, the battle of the poison-tailed rat is a bit big, but what's the use? Is it used to commit suicide?" Looking at the mess in that place, Chu Ge stretched his waist that had been bent for a long time.

"Don't you know, the spikes of this fire vine are all coated with the venom of the poison-tailed rat!" Jiao Hougen took a piece of fire vine and sniffed it, "This astringent aroma is the smell of the venom of the poison-tailed rat." ”

Hearing him say this, Chu Ge found that this was indeed the case, as soon as he came to this slope, there was a smell mixed with what he couldn't say, I thought it was the flowers and plants in the valley, but I didn't expect it to be the smell of poison-tailed rat venom!

"Alright, now that the neighborhood has been cleared, it's time to go see what's under the tree. Jiao Hougen took Chu Ge from the cleared road to the bottom of the big tree.

The tree was towering, blocking out the sunlight that shone down, and it was shady and unspeakably weird.

The scorched roots continued to play with the last leaf-covered area under the tree.

As soon as I opened it a little, I saw black fire vines, more than around, what people didn't expect was that when the fire vines were pushed away, they actually saw the bones of strange beasts!

The two of them angrily pushed away all the fire vines under the tree, and first a few pairs of ribbed beast skulls were gnawed until there was no flesh left.

In a small place, there are more than a dozen pairs of small beast bones.

"Well, it doesn't seem that they don't like meat. Chu Ge sighed.

"There is only one situation in which the poison-tailed rat will eat meat, and that is when advancing from the intermediate level of the bucket level to the upper level, it needs to eat some meat to absorb enough energy. Jiao Hougen explained.

"You mean, this nest of poison-tailed rats, there will be more than half of the Dou Rank Superiors?" Chu Ge exclaimed a little.

At this moment, Jiao Hougen flipped a pair of ribs, and an oval skull rolled out from under the ribs.

"Damn, isn't this a human head? Poison-tailed rats still eat people?" The oval skull that rolled out was the skull of a human being, Chu Ge knew that poison-tailed rats also ate meat, but he didn't expect them to even eat people!

Seeing that the skull was still a little scarlet, presumably it hadn't been long since that person died, Chu Ge suddenly felt a little sick and sick to his stomach.

Jiao Hougen also looked strange.

At this time, the Aha on Chu Ge's head made a vigilant "Ha Ha" sound towards the tree, and the two looked in that direction.

I saw that on the branches of the big tree, there was a gray-fured, one-foot-sized rat-like beast, which was half-hiding behind the trunk, and its dark blue tail was slightly hanging down, and it looked like it was a foot long.

It glanced at the two of them, and when it knew it had been discovered, it let out a "squeak" and quickly crawled higher.

"Oh no, it's been discovered, it's calling for its companions! Can't let it run away!" Jiao Hougen exclaimed urgently.

Poison-tailed rats generally rest during the day and only haunt at night, because they are not powerful predators, they can only forage at night, and when they encounter predators, they can also use the night as a cover to counterattack with venom.

This litter of poison-tailed rats should have reached the upper level of the fighting rank, and if they go out, I am afraid that both of them will be like dry bones under the tree, and they will be reduced to their belly.

Jiao Hougen instantly unfolded the sea of stars, summoned the magic star, and a huge fireball flew out of his hand and smashed into the fleeing poison-tailed rat.

Helplessly, the branches were crisscrossed, and the poison-tailed rat was agile and agile, so it did not hit it.

"Oh, let him run, it's really not good, let's retreat first!" Jiao Hougen missed the blow, and said to himself, the view under the tree where the poison-tailed rat fled was not good, and he rashly shot again for fear of waking up the rats in the trunk.

Chu Ge saw that Jiao Hougen missed a blow, and he didn't listen to his advice and retreated, if he let it run back, he wouldn't have such a good chance to catch them all next time, while they were resting during the day, he must attack them and take them down!

"Ahha! Go!" Chu Ge commanded Aha on his head.

After Aha heard it, he was not verbose, and jumped onto the tree with a "Ha Na", which is more sensitive and vigorous than the poison-tailed mouse!

Jumping sideways from side to side, he quickly jumped over the interspersed branches, and caught up with the fleeing poison-tailed rat in three or two steps, and the poison-tailed rat sensed that something was chasing it behind him, and released the venom on the venom gland of his tail as he ran, trying to hinder Ahha's pursuit.

Aha is not stupid, the battle-level beasts have confronted each other, so naturally he is not afraid of this poison-tailed rat, if he treats Aha as a cat, he is indeed the natural enemy of the mouse! Aha easily dodged the path of the poison-tailed rat spraying venom.

Seeing that their venom did not hit Ahha, the poison-tailed rat had no choice but to continue to climb higher up the tree, because the entrance to their nest was at the height of the tree.

"Aha, don't let it run up any further!Kill it quickly!" Chu Ge also hurriedly shouted, he didn't want to be eaten by rats, even if Jiao Hougen was a fire-based magician, his fists would be difficult to defeat dozens of tails, as long as he hit it, it would be equivalent to burping.

Aha found the right time, and before the poison-tailed rat was about to escape into the hole, with the help of the reaction force of the tree trunk, he jumped suddenly, and his sharp claws quickly stretched out, and with a "whoosh" in the air, he accurately cut off the head of the poison-tailed rat.

When the poison-tailed rat loses its head, it loses control, and its detached head hits the staggered trunk and falls to the ground.

After successfully killing the poison-tailed rat, Aha quickly returned to the ground, crouched next to the corpse of the poison-tailed rat with its head detached, and licked its bloody paws as if showing off its prey.

"You black rat, you are more fierce than the poison-tailed rat!" Jiao Hougen's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Chu Ge to still have this hand, no wonder he dared to come to this Silian Mountain alone, it seemed that he was a little dependent.

Hearing Jiao Hougen call himself a "black mouse", Aha spit out the blood of the poison-tailed rat he had just licked, as if to say that you are a mouse.

Chu Ge didn't explain it to Jiao Hougen, of course he didn't know that the mouse-sized Aha was the cat-sized Aha that Chu Ge was holding yesterday.

"Good job!" Chu Ge quickly came to the corpse of the poison-tailed rat, picked up its lower body, took a flat-headed machete, and cut off its dark blue tail with venomous glands.

The dark blue tail was about a foot long, and there was a round protrusion near the tail vertebrae, which was supposed to be the venom gland of the poison-tailed rat.

Chu Ge then took out a gray cloth from his luggage and carefully wrapped the tail, after all, this is a thirty demon coin.

After cleaning up, he looked at Jiao Hougen embarrassedly, the loot should have been divided between the two, and he took it first as soon as he was excited.

"Don't worry, there's more than one poison-tailed rat here, it's the tail that will be there later!" Jiao Hougen didn't care, a little different from last night.

"Hehe, then I'll take it first, after all, I'm here for it. Chu Ge Mali's loot was put away, ready for the next move.

"Now that we know that the nest of the poison-tailed rat is in this tree, there are many ways to deal with them. Jiao Hougen smiled a little.

"Where there is an entrance, there is an exit, and they must have a way back for themselves, otherwise they will not waste so much effort to spread venom-infused fire vines all over the nest. ”

"Because they knew that if someone came to hunt them, they would definitely consider fire attack first, so the surrounding dead leaves were covered with venom-laden fire vines. ”

"If you are unguarded and trip over the vines, you will be stabbed by the fire vines with paralyzing venom, and you will fall asleep for a day and a night, and when they wake up, they will have a feast delivered to your door. ”

"If it is directly attacked, the fire vines near the arsonist will burn brightly, and suddenly there will be a sea of fire, and the arsonist will not escape death. ”

Hearing Jiao Hougen talk about the poison-tailed rat, I realized that the poison-tailed rat was so cunning, much smarter and more insidious than the steel-maned fighting pig, the woodfeather pheasant, and the edelweiss rabbit.

Sure enough, on the slope behind the big tree, the two found several palm-sized caves covered by weeds, which must be the caves used by poison-tailed rats to escape.

Then Chu Ge and Jiao Hougen worked together to carefully carry all the fire vines they had picked out earlier to the bottom of the big tree.

Chu Ge asked, "Are you planning to burn them?"

The tree is in its prime, and it would be too difficult to burn the entire trunk unless the leaves were burned off, but that would be a big problem.

A fire on the mountain, a police station at the bottom of the mountain.
