The mountains around Xiaoliu Village are not high, but they are very steep.

In addition, there are often wild beasts and even spirits in the mountains, so few local people venture into the mountains, let alone villages.

Stop and go along the way.

After climbing a few mountains, Ying Ning seemed to have discovered something, and her expression became excited.

"Squeak~"

Ying Ning turned her head, raised her front paw and pointed.

Seeing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but step forward to take a look...... Below is a long and narrow valley, and there is a courtyard next to the mountain wall?

How can such a deserted place still be inhabited?

Gu Ming subconsciously showed his discernment and looked at it...... I didn't see anything, because it was too far away.

However, because of this, Gu Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Why not make a telescope?

At present, telescopes are quite rare in this world, and people generally call them clairvoyants.

People generally don't see clairvoyant mirrors, and most of them are only available to some military generals or princes and nobles.

For others, the clairvoyant mirror is very magical, but for Gu Ming, the principle is really simple, and he can make one by himself.

Of course, this is also after I go back, and now that I have to get up and find out the situation here first.

Gu Ming was about to take a closer look, but unexpectedly, a task prompt popped up in his mind, and he clicked on the task interface to take a look:

[Exterminate the rat spirits in the troubled world]

[Complete the mission and get 50 bonus points]

It turned out to be a rat spirit at work.

At the same time, Gu Ming subconsciously checked the task he had received before, and he was able to submit it?

This couldn't help but surprise Gu Ming.

I thought that the task of 100 points was quite difficult, and it was not so easy to complete, but I achieved it before I knew it.

In this way, Gu Ming also has a new understanding of special tasks.

The number of points does not necessarily indicate the difficulty of the task, the most important thing is to see what kind of task it is.

For example, saving Du Shi Niang is a relatively special task, after all, she belongs to the heavens.

Submit the task and get 100 points smoothly.

In line with the principle of spending points if there are points, Gu Ming couldn't help but click on the mall to check it.

At present, the skills and skills have been upgraded to the upper limit of the character level, and they cannot be improved for the time being.

Weapons can be upgraded, but it costs 300 points to upgrade the brush to cyan quality......

After all, upgrading from white to blue only takes 40 points, and the span from blue to cyan is so big all of a sudden, it is inevitable that Gu Ming will complain that the system is too pitiful.

However, sooner or later, it will have to be upgraded.

In view of the fact that there are not many points at present, Gu Ming retreated, and spent 40 points to exchange for a talisman, ready to upgrade the Qinglian Sword to blue quality, and then spent 50 points to buy a pair of Go.

Since it is produced by the system, it is naturally not on a par with ordinary Go.

The four skills of "piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting" that Gu Ming has comprehended are not only used for wind and snow, but can also be converted into auxiliary skills after reaching a certain level.

At present, Gu Ming's chess skills have reached level 4, and he can already turn them into fighting skills, but the premise is to cooperate with the chess pieces produced by the system.

So those 50 points have to be spent anyway.

After buying the props, Gu Ming thought about it, took out the Qinglian Sword and began to upgrade.

[Congratulations, Blue Lotus Sword (Blue)]

As the system information passed, a new sword appeared in Gu Ming's hand.

Sure enough, quality is everything.

Compared with before, the Qinglian Sword has some changes in both the blade and the scabbard, and it looks more exquisite, and the blade is faintly glowing with a mysterious glow.

Then he pointed at a nearby stone the size of a washbasin, and it was cut in half like cutting tofu.

Ying Ning squatted to the side and blinked her eyes, with a puzzled look.

"Okay, little one, you go down and take a look to see if there are any hostages in the courtyard. Remember, don't fight hard with the other person, and come back as soon as something happens. ”

"Squeak~"

Ying Ning responded obediently, and disappeared with a jump.

After a while.

There was a sudden commotion in the valley.

Ying Ning's figure appeared in the valley and fled in a hurry, followed by more than a dozen ...... Mouse?

This is the first time Gu Ming has seen such a big mouse, the smallest one is probably twenty or thirty catties, and the largest is about the same as a wolf dog, but the legs are a little shorter, and the fat one is afraid that there are hundreds of catties.

However, it is not surprising that these are obviously not ordinary rats, but rat spirits.

When he first received the task, Gu Ming thought it was a rat spirit, but he didn't know that it was a nest.

Gu Ming just wanted to go down to pick up Ying Ning, but he didn't expect Ying Ning to change direction and run towards the other side of the narrow valley with a group of rat spirits.

This guy is really witty.

Gu Ming nodded with satisfaction and continued to squat in place and wait.

He wasn't worried about Ying Ning's safety, after all, it was a three-tailed fox demon, judging from the speed at which it ran just now, it was completely easy to lure those rat spirits away.

Then, a figure finally appeared outside the hospital......

The other party was a woman, although they were far away, but with Gu Ming's eyesight, they could still see it clearly.

He is about 30 years old, wearing a floor-length skirt, with a delicate appearance and a petite and delicate body.

It turns out that this is the right master!

Gu Ming narrowed his eyes and tried his best to restrain his breath in case he was discovered by the other party.

The woman watched outside for a while, but didn't notice anything unusual, so she turned around and walked back.

After waiting for a while, Ying Ning finally ran back.

After some comparison, Gu Ming couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised...... Sure enough, it was this group of rat spirits who took the hostages.

The important thing is that those people are still alive now.

As for why those rat spirits kidnapped people, Gu Ming had to verify it himself.

……

A moment later.

The valley was in chaos again.

Like a naughty child, Ying Ning ran wild in the valley with a group of rat spirits of all sizes.

Those rat spirits had blood-red eyes, sharp fangs, and a murderous look, but they couldn't catch up with Ying Ning.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Gu Ming slipped into the courtyard from the side of another mountain.

This courtyard looks decent, like the house of a large family, but when Gu Ming shows his discernment, everything is revealed: the whole yard is full of rocks, and there is a cave mouth against the mountain wall.

It seems that this cave is the real lair of the rat spirits.

Most of the rat spirits inside had been led away by Ying Ning, and Gu Ming was able to sneak in smoothly.

Looking at the dark and secluded cave outside, I didn't expect that after entering, there was a cave, which made people marvel at the magic of nature.

The roof of the cave is not completely enclosed, and there are many cracks, so that light is transmitted through each other.

There are a lot of stone pillars and stone platforms in the cave, the shapes are strange and strange, and they are scattered, as if they have been carefully carved by artificial.

It was precisely with such a complex environment that Gu Ming successfully avoided several rat spirits and walked all the way, and finally found the main one: that is, the woman he had seen before.

At present, there are about twenty rat spirits that Gu Ming has seen inside and outside the cave, but the only one who has turned into a human form is this woman.

It seems that Ying Ning's interference did not attract enough attention from this rat demon, Gu Zi enjoyed the fun of the stars and the moon, and the scene was quite spicy.

Among the "stars", Gu Ming found a familiar person: Zeng Dehao.

It's only been a few days, but the whole person has lost a lot of weight, his eyes are dull, and his complexion is pale, like a candle in the wind.

Such a scene finally made Gu Ming understand the reason for the disappearance of these people: it was clear that they were captured by this rat demon and used as a furnace.

When the oil runs out and the lamp dries up, it is estimated that it will become the food of those rats and rats, and then they will go to capture the next batch.

No wonder this rat demon looks red and energetic, it turns out to be a demon who relies on cultivation to make up.

If this demon is not removed, heaven will not tolerate it!

In order to prevent the rat demon from escaping, Gu Ming used the chess pieces he had just changed before to start the layout.

To put it simply, it is equivalent to arranging a formation.

"Squeak~"

While it was being arranged, several high-pitched screams suddenly came from the cave...... It turned out that Gu Ming was accidentally discovered by a mouse essence in the cave.

Hearing the warning sound, the rat demon who was enjoying himself couldn't help frowning, then pushed away a few men beside him, raised his hand and conjured up a shirt and got up and walked over.

At this time, there were already several rat spirits with their teeth and claws dancing towards Gu Ming.

"Stand down!"

Unexpectedly, the rat demon stopped drinking in time and squinted at Gu Ming.

"Yo, whose handsome boy is this? How did you get to the slave's house? ”

Its voice is charming and soft, as if there is a magic power that eats souls into the bones, which makes people's hearts flutter, and there is a trace of endless longing in their eyes.

Seeing this, the rat demon couldn't help but show a hint of pride.

Stinky men are all the same, the surface is serious, but the result is not the same? When I saw the beauty, I lost my soul.

So, the nepotism didn't slip away slowly......

"How did Childe find here?"

The rat demon walked forward slowly, looking full of amorous looks.

But I still kept a little vigilance in my heart, a three-tailed fox just came in front, and there was such a pretty boy in the back, who believes that it was a coincidence?

Therefore, the rat demon secretly performed the charm technique to probe the details of the opponent, if it was just one person who broke in......

With the wonderful thoughts, the eyes of the rat demon became more and more crystalline, and the corners of his mouth faintly drooled.

Gu Ming looked distracted, and muttered back very cooperatively: "It was the three-tailed little fox who brought me here." ”

"Why did it bring you?"

The rat demon took another step, and there seemed to be peach blossoms blooming in his eyes.

This is the performance of its charm to the extreme, dealing with those ordinary people who have been captured on weekdays, it only needs to exert a percent of its power to make people forget what fear is, and instantly turn into a tiger wolf, one after another.

As long as there is still a breath of air, as long as you can still crawl, you will never admit it.

In short, this rat demon is still quite confident in his beauty and witchcraft.

Although he knew that Gu Ming was not good, he still had the confidence to make him obediently surrender under his skirt.

"Because...... Decide! ”

Unexpectedly, Gu Ming, who seemed to have been tricked, suddenly stared at him and shouted.

Before the rat demon could come back to its senses, it felt an invisible force attack, causing its body to stiffen......

"Evil is to be killed!"

Gu Ming shouted again, and a dazzling sword light swept by at the same time.

The sword aura is like a rainbow, and the momentum is compelling.

"Poof!"

The sword light swept by, and a sword decapitated!

"Plop!"

The headless corpse of the rat demon fell straight to the ground.

It's that simple?

Gu Ming frowned and looked at the corpse on the ground, feeling a little unsteady in his heart.

The point is, how can there not be a drop of blood on the ground?

As soon as the thought came to mind, the corpse of the rat demon slowly dissipated like light smoke, but there was an extra hair glowing with a pale golden color on the ground......
