Chapter 5: A Litter
If you can catch a nest of snow rats, you will be really rich.
"Ning Yan, you have two choices now. The first choice is to grab the snow mouse in front of you and get three thousand gold coins. The second option is to deliberately alarm the snow rat and lure it back to the group, which may catch a group of snow rats, and of course, even the one in front of you will be lost. Qin Xuan said.
Ning Yan frowned, he was white about the meaning of Qin Xuan's words.
"The snow rat is extremely fast, and if I use this snow rat as bait, I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up with it." Ning Yan said a little worriedly.
Qin Xuan chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I can mark it with a divine thought." In this way, we can trace the trail. As long as its population isn't too far away, we'll be able to find it. ”
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, Ning Yan narrowed his eyes.
He didn't think about it for a long time, he only breathed for time, and then he made a decision in his heart.
"Then it's troublesome seniors, I want to give it a go." Ning Yan said.
Give it a go, one becomes a group!
"Good!" Qin Xuan immediately separated a wisp of divine thought and marked it on the snow rat's body.
Then, Ning Yan deliberately waved the jasper sword to make a sound.
The snow mouse's small body trembled slightly, and a pair of small black eyes widened round, vigilantly observing the surroundings.
"Whoosh!" The snow rat seemed to have discovered Ning Yan hidden in the shadows, and its body flew out like a white light.
In the blink of an eye, it ran out of 100 meters. Soon, its figure completely disappeared into Qin Xuan's perception range.
Ning Yan was not idle, he moved quickly with his feet, looking for the marker and followed.
After tea time, he entered a valley and stopped in front of a rock wall. In front of you, there is a deep crack in the rock wall that stretches.
"The snow rat got into this crack in the mountain wall."
"Luckily, the crack barely holds a person in. The mark left by Qin Xuan's predecessor on the snow rat was not far ahead. If nothing else, the snow rat colony, when somewhere in the crack. Ning Yan's heart changed.
He took a deep breath and squeezed sideways into the crack, moving forward little by little.
About 100 meters deep, the vision suddenly opened up. It is a small natural cave, and although it is in the middle of the mountain, there is a spring of water flowing out.
Ning Yan's eyes turned, probing the surrounding environment of the cave, and soon he found a small hole in the rock wall at the bottom of the cave, which was only one palm in diameter.
The spirit mark on the snow rat is in the small hole.
"Senior, it seems that our speculation is completely correct. Here, there is a population of snow rats, and they should be hiding in this rat hole. Ning Yan couldn't hide his excitement.
"Well, the next thing to think about is how to catch the snow rats." Qin Xuan said: "Such an astute spirit beast, its cave, I'm afraid it will be very deep. If you want to dig it, it's very difficult. ”
Ning Yan only has the Martial Dao Triple Heaven Realm, and his strength is limited, even if he has a sharp weapon like the Jasper Sword, it is not easy to dig through the rock wall.
Moreover, the rat hole is probably not the only exit in front of you. When Ning Yan was digging brutely, the snow rat inside sensed the danger and might escape through other exits, and he wasted all his efforts.
What to do?
Ning Yan frowned, with a sad look on his face, looking at the rat hole in front of him, he felt helpless.
If you want to catch this litter of snow rats, it seems that you can only outwit them.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"The snow rat is a first-class spirit animal, and it is an omnivorous spirit animal. They must like to devour the flesh of the wide-backed stone bear. ”
"If you lure them with the flesh and blood of the wide-backed stone bears, you may be able to lure them out of the hole." Ning Yan touched his chin and whispered.
"You can try it, it's a way." Qin Xuan said.
Without delay, Ning Yan immediately returned the same way.
The wide-backed stone bear, which has been skinned and extracted, is still there.
Ning Yan used the blue blood sword to cut off a large piece of flesh and blood from Shi Xiong's body.
Just as he was about to return to the rat hole, his mind turned, and he remembered that he had read in the book that the snow rat was a spirit stone that liked to eat cooked meat. Wouldn't it be better if the flesh and blood of the stone bear were roasted first?
Without further ado, Ning Yan immediately lit a bonfire to roast meat. He himself, by the way, also ate some roasted bear meat to replenish his strength.
By the time he returned to the rat hole, it had been more than an hour. Hang the bear meat outside the rat hole, gather your breath, and wait for the snow rat to take the bait.
"Squeak! Creak! ”
Not long after the bear meat was hung, the cry of a snow rat came from inside the cave, and then a snow-white figure quickly came out.
The snow rat pounced on the fragrant bear meat, bit down hard, and kicked hard with its four paws to tear off a piece.
Ning Yan waited for this moment, his eyes were quick, he grabbed the snow rat in his hand at once, and then tied it with the prepared filament rattan, even sealed his mouth, and then stuffed it into his back and wrapped it.
After doing all this, Ning Yan's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, he was excited.
When a snow rat arrives, it is the income of thousands of gold coins, which is equal to dozens of spirit stones.
As long as the cultivation resources were sufficient, and with the assistance of exercises such as the Mixed Yuan One Qigong Heart Method, he was confident that he would be able to reach the Martial Dao Seven Heavens or even higher realm before the family's martial arts conference began this year.
Hold your breath and continue to wait for the next snow mouse to take the bait.
However, although the intelligence of the snow rat is not very high, it is also a spirit animal after all. After the first snow mouse was caught, there was no snow mouse rushing out of the cave for a while.
After waiting for three hours, the second snow rat leaned out and looked around with its little eyes. After noticing that there was no danger, he turned his attention to the roasted bear meat not far away.
Snow rats are indeed too fond of cooked meat, and even if they feel the danger hidden around them, it is difficult to resist the temptation of bear meat.
The snow rat never expected that before it could rush to the front of the large piece of bear meat, a palm fell from the sky and grabbed it fiercely.
The second snow mouse skillfully tied into the bag, and Ning Yan jumped up again and squatted behind a raised rock above the rat hole.
Time was in a hurry, and Ning Yan was in the dark behind the raised rock for seven days in a row.
In the past seven days, except for the necessary food and drink, he has not left the snow rat cave for half a step. In these seven days, he caught a total of twelve snow rats.
It wasn't until Qin Xuan reminded that the cave was empty and there was no breath of life that he left unsatisfied.
"Ning Yan, do you want to continue hunting spirit beasts, or go back to Jiangbei City?" Qin Xuan asked.
"It's been seven or eight days since I entered the Gollum Mountain, and it's time to go back. Besides, there are twelve live snow rats in my package, worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and they must be disposed of as soon as possible. If an accident had caused these snow rats to escape, it would be regretful. Ning Yan thought for a while and said.
"Well, that's fine." Qin Xuan responded.
Out of the valley, after discerning the direction, Ning ran towards the exit of Gu Thorn Mountain without looking back. He couldn't wait to exchange the snow rat for a large amount of cultivation resources.
