Chapter 4: Snow Rats

In the night, Ning Yan, dressed in a cyan robe, walked out of the east gate of Jiangbei City and ran towards the Guthorn Mountain thirty miles away.

Gu Thorn Mountain, located in Jiangbei City to the east of thirty miles, the mountain is steep, dense forests, among which there are a large number of spirit beasts to survive.

Half an hour later, Ning Yan arrived outside the Gushu Mountain. In his hand, he held a dark green long sword, which was a sharp weapon borrowed from the Third Elder Ning Huashan.

Looking at the dark mountains and forests in front of him, Ning Yan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Before that, he had never entered the Goo Thorn Mountain, but he had heard a lot of rumors about the mountain forest. There are treasures in the mountains, but there are also various dangers.

"Whoosh!"

Without too much hesitation, Ning Yan took a breath, and the figure rushed forward quickly.

In the outer area of the Golt Mountain, the number of active spirit beasts is very small, and even if there are, they will be killed by the warriors or adventurers who enter this mountain.

Ning Yan only has the cultivation of the Martial Dao Triple Heaven Realm, and although he has awakened the natal star soul, the strength of his vitality is not high. If he encounters a powerful spirit beast, his situation will be extremely dangerous. Therefore, he will not go too deep into the mountain of grunts.

According to the plan, Ning Yan would be active in the area about ten miles into the Gu Thorn Mountain. In this position, traces of spirit beasts can be found from time to time, and spirit beasts above level four are rare. For him now, it's quite suitable.

The speed of travel in the mountains was not as fast as that of the plains and wilderness, so it took Ning Yan half an hour to go deep into the position of the Gushu Mountain for seven or eight miles.

"Attention, there is a spirit beast aura ahead." Qin Xuan's voice sounded in Ning Yan's sea of knowledge.

Ning Yan paused, and tightened the jasper sword in his hand.

He slowed his pace and slowly approached forward.

Moments later, he saw a wide-backed stone bear foraging for food.

The wide-backed stone bear is a third-level spirit beast, and it is also a fairly common spirit beast in the Gu Thorn Mountain. It is characterized by infinite strength and thick skin.

An ordinary martial arts triple heavenly martial artist is far from being a wide-backed stone bear opponent. If you want to kill the wide-backed stone bear alone, you usually need to cultivate the realm of the martial arts five heavens to six heavens.

Ning Yan licked her lips, her eyes lit up.

The value of a wide-backed stone bear can reach 100 gold coins. And a hundred gold coins, you can buy a spirit stone in Jiangbei City.

In the past seven years, Ning Yan had almost no access to spirit stone resources in the Ning family, and only occasionally the third elder Ning Huashan would give him one or two spirit stones.

"Senior, I'm on it." Ning Yan said in a low voice.

"Be careful, you don't have much experience hunting spirit beasts yet." Qin Xuan admonished.

"Understood." Ning Yan nodded.

After he took a deep breath, he held the jasper sword in his right hand and rushed towards the wide-backed stone bear a hundred meters in front of him.

"Roar!" The wide-backed stone bear spotted Ning Lang, and it let out a roar.

I saw it raise its front paws, its body stood up, and its scarlet eyes stared at Ning Yan.

"Pay attention to its front paws, your strength is much inferior to it, and it is not advisable to fight it head-on. If you want to kill this spirit beast without using the power of the star soul, you need a certain amount of skill. ”

"Concentrate and don't get distracted!"

"Its weakness is in its neck, and that circle of white hair is its weak point, looking for an opportunity to assassinate."

"Quickly retreat one meter and avoid the stone bear's frontal slap!" Qin Xuan's voice sounded continuously.

She was instructing Ning Yan to fight the wide-backed stone bear.

This time, Ning Yan entered the Gu Thorn Mountain, and while hunting spirit beasts in exchange for resources, he could also take the opportunity to exercise his combat skills. A spirit beast like the wide-backed stone bear, which is not so agile, is just right for a novice like Ning Yan to hone his mind and fighting skills.

Under Qin Xuan's guidance, Ning Yan made rapid progress in his fighting skills.

It took half a cup of tea for Ning Yan to finally grind this third-level spirit beast wide-backed stone bear to death. Moreover, he did not use the power of the Natal Star Soul of the Sea Knowledge.

After killing the spirit beast, Ning Yan gasped. This battle consumed a lot of his physical strength. The physical body of the Martial Dao Triple Heaven Realm, when facing a third-level spirit beast, still seemed too weak.

It can be said that if it weren't for Qin Xuan's guidance, it would be impossible for Ning Yan to kill the wide-backed stone bear. Even if you use the power of the Star Soul, you may not be able to succeed.

After resting for a while, Ning Yan moved again, and he used the jasper sword to clumsily peel off the fur of the wide-backed stone bear and remove the bear bile. These two things are the most valuable things on the body of the third-level spirit beast wide-backed stone bear, and if you bring them back to the city to sell, you can get about 100 gold coins.

Putting the fur and bear bile into the back wrap, Ning Yan was faintly excited in his heart, not long after entering the Gu Thorn Mountain, he had earned a full hundred gold coins. How rewarding would it be if you stayed here for a month?

Although a hundred gold coins can only buy one spirit stone, it is by no means a small number for ordinary people. Even if it is an ordinary martial artist in Jiangbei City, it is not easy to earn a hundred gold coins.

Taking Jiangbei City as an example, the daily expenses of ordinary adults in a month are only about three to five gold coins. One hundred gold coins is enough for a family for more than half a year.

"One hundred and eighty meters to the left, there is a rat-like spirit beast, its breath is not strong, it may only be a first-level spirit beast." Qin Xuan said in the sea of Ning Yan's knowledge.

As soon as she finished saying this, a glint of essence appeared in Ning Yan's eyes. With the help of Qin Xuan's perceptual ability, he saw the rat-like spirit beast that Qin Xuan was talking about.

This is a snow rat with a snow-white body and no variegation.

Snow rats, first-class spirit beasts, pose little threat to martial artists. Even the weakest martial arts one-heavy heavenly martial artist can also calmly face the attack of the snow rat.

However, the value of snow rats is ridiculously high.

If an adventurer who enters the Goo Thorn Mountain can catch a snow mouse, it will be a windfall. Even adventurers above the Martial Dao Seven Heavens Realm would dance with joy.

Snow rats, worth at least 3,000 gold coins.

After confirming that it was a snow mouse, Ning Yan's breathing couldn't help but become heavy. A mere first-class spirit beast is worth as much as thirty wide-backed stone bears.

And there are three main reasons why the price of snow rats is so high. For one, it is very rare, scarce in number, and difficult to trace. Two, although its attack ability is not strong, but its perception of danger is ridiculously high, comparable to a high-level spirit animal, before the warrior approaches, it has already sensed the danger and quickly escaped. The three are its own uses, and it is rumored that it is the main material for refining a variety of high-grade pills.

Moreover, the speed of the snow rat's running speed is not below that of the human innate realm martial artist.

Therefore, whether it is in Jiangbei City or other cities, snow rats are hard to find.

"Senior, that's three thousand gold coins, we can't let it run. The name of this spirit animal is Snow Rat. Ning Yan said to Qin Xuan.

"Three thousand gold coins, so expensive?" Qin Xuan also raised interest.

"I've read about the snow rat in some books, it's a social spirit animal, but for some reason, this snow rat is left alone." Ning Yan whispered as he crept cautiously closer to the snow mouse.

"Maybe it's not alone?" Qin Xuan chuckled and said, "Since it is a group spirit beast, then there may be its nest around here." A snow rat costs 3,000 gold coins, what about a nest of snow rats? ”

Ning Yan's eyes widened.

That's right!

Snow rats are social spirit animals and hardly move in isolation. Now that a snow rat has been found here, it is likely that there is a swarm.
