Volume 2 Chapter 38 Joy and Sorrow

In a rock-strewn place, a group of monks were searching for it.

"Look, that's the ground Lingzhi, Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Liu, and Senior Brother Han, the three of you are on guard, beware of a sneak attack by demon beasts, and the others will quickly pick the ground Lingzhi with me."

A monk surnamed Wu from the Youquan Sect was quickly commanding the fellow disciples to hurry up and collect the elixir.

There were only eight monks in their group, but they were extremely skillful in their cooperation, and it was obviously not a day or two.

A quarter of an hour later, when they had finished picking the reishi mushrooms in this area, they went deeper.

At this time, several of them are full of fire in their eyes, this piece of Ganoderma lucidum origin seems to have not been discovered for a long time, among which there are a lot of Ganoderma lucidum, just two days here, they each collected three plants, if they go deeper, I am afraid the harvest will be greater.

On the third day of going deep into the stone forest, each of the eight monks collected two more ground lingzhi plants, and when they reached the end of the night, they all stopped walking, and even stopped breathing.

They couldn't believe their eyes at all, what appeared in front of them was a chaotic stone forest, and within this stone forest, there were actually no less than a hundred ground lingzhi trees.

What does this mean, they can't be described as excited at the moment, but they are all crazy, yes, they are indeed crazy, because these earth lingzhi in front of them can completely allow them to exchange each of them for two tsukidans.

Under this kind of temptation, they are still willing to stay, and they will send people to guard every time they pick along the way, and they have not encountered any danger, so at this time, in the face of such a big temptation, no one of them will want to watch others pick, and they will only be at ease when they enter their own hands.

They rushed towards those Earth Lingzhi with the fastest speed in their lives.

Rushing to the front was the senior brother Wu who issued the order, obviously he was also the highest in cultivation, and the advantage of the innate wind spirit root also played a role at this moment, he quickly came to the front of an earth lingzhi, brushed aside the messy stones below with both hands, pulled up this earth lingzhi by the roots, took out a jade box that had already been prepared and carefully put it away, and he rushed towards his second target.

Stepping on a fist-sized rock, but hearing a "squeak" scream, the monk was startled, what happened?

What is it? When he looked at his feet, he saw a fist-sized rat glaring at him, its hair standing on end and squeaking.

Senior Brother Wu was a little stunned, what is this? Mouse?

Where did it come from, how could he not have discovered it just now, you must know that as a cultivator, under the influence of divine consciousness, even an ant within a radius of a hundred zhang will not miss it, how can a mouse appear at his feet and he didn't find it, and he seems to have stepped on it just now, and it seems that this mouse is obviously unscathed, what kind of mouse is so hard at this time?

Soon Senior Brother Wu thought of a possibility, he instantly lost the mind to continue picking the Lingzhi mushroom, and just hurriedly looked around, hoping that he had guessed wrong.

But the surrounding scene made Senior Brother Wu desperate, and he really realized that he was happy and sad, and the rocks on the ground that were originally the size of a fist moved at this time, as if he had just woken up, and he didn't understand what was going on, but the squeaking rat quickly made his companions understand something, and they quickly launched an attack on the strange creature that appeared in their "home".

These rats are no ordinary house mice or voles, they have a very strong name - the gold eater.

A kind of demon beast that is not strong in individual strength, but extremely dangerous, somewhat similar to the Blood Soul Bee, this gold devouring rat is much stronger than it cannot fly.

First of all, their defense is much higher than that of the Blood Soul Bee, and their number is not inferior to some large groups of Blood Soul Bees, always tens of thousands together, their territory is extremely vast, and there is only this group in the entire secret land, otherwise there are a few more groups, and I am afraid that there are no other species in the secret land.

The gold devouring rat almost eats nothing, from the spirit flower and spirit grass to the golden stone demon beast, they eat whatever they encounter, they will sleep when they are full, and continue to eat after waking up.

Legend has it that the Gold Eater Rat can evolve by constantly eating, and eventually reach the realm of devouring all things, but this is just a legend, the average Gold Devouring Rat can only reach the first order of the advanced level, and very few can grow to the second order, let alone a higher level.

To break through the limit of cultivation, the gold-devouring rat can only achieve it by devouring foreign objects, but when they are full, they will fall asleep, and every time they wake up, their cultivation will increase to a certain extent.

But all things are equal under the Heavenly Dao, and the Gold Devouring Rat does not need to cultivate to have such great potential, if it is allowed to develop, wouldn't there be no one to stop, so the restriction of the Heavenly Dao on the Gold Devouring Rat is their lifespan.

The cultivation speed of ordinary demon beasts is much longer than that of monks, so the lifespan of demon beasts is also several times that of humans, first-order demon beasts can generally live to be three or four hundred years old, and second-order demon beasts can survive for thousands of years, the higher they go, the longer the lifespan of demon beasts.

However, an ordinary gold-devouring rat only had a short lifespan of more than ten years, and in such a short period of time, if he wanted to break through the cultivation limit, he had to swallow a huge amount of spiritual objects.

Therefore, among a group of gold-devouring rats, there are only one or two heavenly materials and earth treasures that have the opportunity to devour enough spiritual power to complete the advancement, and the more they get to the back, the higher the demand for heavenly materials and earth treasures.

It has been a long time since the gold-devouring rat above the third order has appeared, and higher existences are only in legends, but every appearance is a representative of invincibility, and the super defense makes them invincible first.

Ganoderma lucidum is one of the favorite foods of gold-eating rats, they devour all kinds of spiritual things, and earth-based lingzhi is not much elixir that can speed up their digestion, so the dense production areas of earth-ganoderma lucidum are generally infested with gold-eating rats, and gold-eating rats because they devour many spiritual things, so their excrement promotes the growth of earth-lingzhi, which can be said to complement each other.

At this time, in the face of this dense gold-devouring rat, these eight disciples of the Youquan Sect perfectly interpreted what it meant to be happy and sad.

It only took a few breaths to be eaten, and after losing the enemy, the gold eater rat moved around in a circle, some of them had already digested and began to look for food again, while most of them gradually shrank into a ball and continued to sleep, perfect camouflage plus in the stone forest, they looked like a small rock!

Among the few gold-eating rats that went out to forage, there was a very small young mouse, with a body only half of that of an ordinary gold-eating rat, obviously just born, with delicate facial features and a pair of eyes the size of mung beans, adding a bit of aura.

The most attractive thing is that his color is not a cyan like a chaotic stone like other gold eaters, but a golden body with a faint luster, but his speed is extremely fast, and he disappears into the dense forest in the blink of an eye!
