Chapter 159: The Rat Extermination Master is in vain, and everything is ready [Ask for subscription]
However, he said that after Zhou Chun left "Mushi Zhai", he did not leave Jinquanfang City immediately, but did not give up and asked about the news of the two elixirs in other pharmacies or grocery stores.
But apart from learning in a pharmacy that the elixir of the same age could be exchanged for gold-leaf bamboo grass, there was nothing to gain.
In this way, he could only leave Jinquanfang City temporarily, and go to the location of the gold-eating rat group given by Luo Qingyi according to the map, preparing to obtain the high-grade gold-eating rat gall first.
The gold-eating rat is a low-level demon beast that likes to nibble on all kinds of spirit ore metals.
Therefore, where this kind of demon beasts gather together, there must be mineral veins.
The locations of several gold-eating rat groups given by Luo Qingyi are located near several spiritual mines in Cangzhou.
These monsters are something that the owners of the spirit ore hate, and they will dig holes in the veins to steal the spirit gold ore, and they will also attack the monks who min.
Therefore, the owner of the spirit ore will often issue tasks to clean up these demon beasts.
However, the gold-eating rat has a strong ability to dig holes, and the rat's nest is often located in a place hundreds of feet deep underground, and it is also waterproof, fireproof and smoke-proof, and many foundation building monks have no way to take this beast.
But Zhou Chun didn't care about these ground rats at all.
His silver lightning thunder python is the nemesis of the natural enemy of these ground mice, as long as he finds a passage to the rat's nest and puts the silver lightning thunder python in vain, he can definitely give the rat's nest to a pot!
So instead of sneaking around to catch mice, he went to a spiritual gold mine and received a task to clear the rat's nest.
The reward for this task is not small, each ordinary gold-eating rat corpse can get a spirit coin, if you are willing to hand over the corpse to the mine, you can exchange it for two spirit coins, which adds up to three spirit coins.
After Zhou Chun received this task, he left the mine under the expectant gaze of the monk who guarded the foundation building in the mine, and went to the mine to explore and guess the location of several gold-eating rat nests.
When he arrived near the location, Zhou Chun left the food specially prepared to attract the gold-eating rats to come over and swallow them in some places.
But it is a restrained aura hidden in the shadows, monitoring those baits through divine consciousness.
Within half a day, he found that two gold-eating rats had come out of their holes in the ground and taken their food away.
However, those two gold-eating rats are only the size of ordinary domestic cats, and the burrows they have made are now impossible for the silver lightning thunder python to get into.
So Zhou Chun had to find the main road to the rat's nest.
In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the larger rat king, the main road will be wider than other underground rat roads, and the current size of the silver lightning thunder python should be barely passable.
So Zhou Chun continued to throw bait everywhere, and determined the approximate location of their nests through the time and number of gold-eating rats.
Almost three days later, he surveyed several of the locations the mine had given him, and finally identified one of the sites.
It was a rocky mountain about twenty miles from the location of the ore vein, and the rat's nest was probably located deep underground beneath the rocky mountain.
Because gold-eating rats are active everywhere, there are also rat holes all around this rocky mountain, and no ordinary beasts dare to approach here.
At this time, Zhou Chun patiently searched for the rat hole around the stone mountain that led to the main road of the rat's nest.
He knew that although the gold-eating rat was an underground burrowing monster, it would occasionally come to the ground to enjoy the sun and forage for food, and the rat king would also have this need.
Therefore, the large and small rat holes in the mountain must have a main road leading to the rat nest.
After two more days of searching, he finally found his target.
I saw that under a large rock halfway up the mountain, a rat hole more than a foot wide stretched diagonally downward, leading to a rat's nest that was not known how deep it was underground.
Zhou Chun looked at the rat hole in front of him, reached out and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and released the silver lightning thunder python in vain.
Then he gently touched the head of the silver python and whispered: "Baibai, look at you, remember to catch the rat king alive and bring it up, it's useless to die!" ”
Hiss –
The silver python hissed a few times in understanding, and then plunged headlong into the rat hole.
As he got into the rat hole in vain, the spiritual connection between Zhou Chun and it began to weaken more and more, and he could only faintly feel where it was, but he couldn't continue to communicate.
And deep underground, the silver lightning thunder python meandered down the rat hole in vain, and it didn't take long to come to the vicinity of the rat's nest.
The arrival of the natural predator also frightened the gold-eating rats guarding outside the rat's nest, hurriedly screamed and warned, and then turned around and ran.
And inside the rat's nest, the gold-eating rat king, who was originally sleeping with a female rat, also woke up instantly after the warning sounded, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.
Squeak squeak!
It screamed in its mouth, calling for the gold-eating rats that were still in the nest to come and escort them.
In fact, in the past, there were also monks who domesticated snakes and monsters who took over the task of exterminating rats and came to eliminate gold-eating rats.
But even if it is a first-order high-grade demon snake, if it goes deep into the rat's nest alone, it will be bitten to death and bitten by a large number of gold-eating rats, and it will not be able to truly destroy these scourges.
So although the Rat King was a little panicked at the moment, he didn't say that he would abandon the nest and run away immediately.
After all, in addition to the adult gold-eating rats in this nest, there are many rat cubs that have not yet come out of the nest.
If they abandon their nests and run away, these rat cubs will all be dead and lifeless.
However, it didn't expect at all that the demon snake that entered the rat's nest this time was not a first-order demon beast, but a second-order demon beast!
When the figure of the silver lightning thunder python appeared in the rat's nest, the rat king suddenly shook the rat's body, and his eyes showed extreme horror for a moment, and he turned around and wanted to escape.
But it saw the silver lightning thunder python in vain, and it naturally saw it in vain.
For this rat king that Zhou Chun told him to capture alive, he would not let it run away in vain.
Immediately, a bolt of lightning erupted from his mouth and fell on the rat king.
In order to prevent the Rat King from being killed in one hit, the power of this lightning was deliberately weakened a lot, almost only one percent of its power.
Even so, the Rat King, who was struck by lightning, instantly fell to the ground with his hair standing on end and green smoke.
This time, the other gold-eating rats instantly fried the pot.
Even the Rat King couldn't stop it, how could they still have the courage to move towards the silver lightning thunder python that exuded a second-order aura on their bodies, and they were about to flee in a hurry.
But how could the silver lightning thunder python let these delicious foods escape in vain, and immediately there was a burst of lightning, instantly electrocuting a large number of gold-eating rats.
After a while, the rat's nest was filled with the smell of barbecue.
And the silver lightning thunder python looked at the barbecue all over the ground in vain, but he didn't rush to eat, but went over to see the situation of the rat king first.
After discovering that the rat king was only unconscious, he swam to the nest of the rat cubs in the rat nest and began to eat them.
After eating dozens of rat cubs in one go, it looked at its slightly bulging belly, and then continued to eat the dead mice.
When it was six minutes full, it stopped eating, then took the rat king in one bite, turned around and went back the way it came.
Not long passed, and Zhou Chun, who was waiting on the mountain, saw it drilling out of the rat hole with the rat king in his mouth.
"Well done!"
Looking at the rat king who was spit out in vain on the ground, Zhou Chun's face was instantly filled with a happy smile.
Then he was not in a hurry to kill the Rat King, and took the Rat King directly to the mine.
"Hu Daoyou, you see that this rat king has been captured by Jiang, can this task of destroying the rat's nest be considered completed by Jiang?"
Outside the mine, Zhou Chun waved the unconscious Rat King in front of the town guard monk here, and then looked at his people and talked about the task of destroying the rat's nest.
He learned from his mouth that there were dozens of gold-eating rat carcasses in the rat nest alone.
It can be said that except for those gold-eating rats that went out to forage, most of the rat nests were destroyed by him.
And without the leadership of the Rat King, these gold-eating rats will have to wait until a new Rat King is born again to become a climate again.
At this time, looking at the Rat King who was thrown out by Zhou Chun, the monk surnamed Hu who was guarding the mine was also surprised.
After he stepped forward to check it carefully, he was surprised and said, "It's really the Rat King!" ”
Then he looked at Zhou Chun with blazing eyes and said, "Jiang Daoyou is really a good means!" ”
"Can you tell me how you did that?"
When Zhou Chun heard what he said, he immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry, this matter involves Jiang's own secrets, so it's inconvenient to reveal it to Hu Daoyou." ”
After speaking, he said confidently: "Jiang can guarantee that most of the gold-eating rats in the rat's nest have been eliminated, and their corpses are also in the rat's nest, Hu Daoyou can arrange for someone to dig the mountain to collect evidence at any time!" ”
When the monk surnamed Hu saw him say this, he didn't want to ask for details, but responded in a deep voice: "Why do you need to dig the mountain to collect evidence, there are also people in our mine who domesticate demon beasts to enter the rat's nest for verification, since Jiang Daoyou is so confident, Hu will take people and Daoyou on a trip." ”
"It's even better that way."
Zhou Chun responded, and rushed to the side of Shishan with a monk surnamed Hu and a monk in the Qi refining period.
Then, outside the rat hole that the Silver Lightning Thunder Python entered, the Qi Refining Stage monk brought by the monk surnamed Hu put a flame rat demon beast inside.
At the beginning, because there was still the breath of the silver lightning thunder python in the cave, the flame rat demon beast still refused to enter it.
Later, it was forced by its owner that it crawled into it tremblingly.
It didn't take long for the Flame Rat Demon Beast to crawl out of the rat hole, squeaking and screaming and telling its master what it had seen in the cave.
When he learned that the rat's nest was really full of gold-eating rat corpses, the monk surnamed Hu also instantly believed Zhou Chun's words.
Then after his eyes flickered and he muttered, he looked at Zhou Chun and said: "Jiang Daoyou's task of destroying the rat's nest, Hu can judge that Daoyou has completed it, but Daoyou has to leave the body of the Rat King to Hu to hand over to the family, and because the gold-eating rat corpse inside is difficult to bring out, Hu can only give Daoyou a basic reward of three hundred spirit coins." ”
"That's okay, then please wait a while."
Zhou Chun nodded, and immediately walked aside with the unconscious rat king, disemboweled it on the spot, and took out a black rat gall the size of a thumb.
Then he disposed of the fresh rat gall bladder and put it in the jade box, and handed over the body of the rat king to the monk surnamed Hu.
Seeing this, the monk surnamed Hu simply arrived, and immediately went out of the storage bag and handed the spirit coins to Zhou Chun and said, "This is three hundred spirit coins, Jiang Daoyou put them away." ”
"Hu Daoyou is refreshing, then Jiang will leave."
Zhou Chun put away the spirit coin, arched his hand at the monk surnamed Hu, and prepared to leave.
I don't want the monk surnamed Hu to say suddenly at this time: "Jiang Daoyou, can you leave a contact information?" Maybe there will be a time when you need to ask for help from Taoist friends in the future. ”
Hearing his words, Zhou Chun immediately understood what he meant.
Then after thinking about it for a while, he said with a smile: "Then Hu Daoyou can send someone to the Spirit Beast Zhai in Hongyafang City, Lanzhou in the future to deliver the letter, and the shopkeeper there will naturally forward the letter to Jiang." ”
"Is the spirit beast of Hongyafang City?"
The monk surnamed Hu glanced thoughtfully at the spirit beast bag on Zhou Chun's waist, then nodded and said, "Okay, Hu remembers." ”
"Then goodbye."
"See you soon."
The two saluted each other, and then Zhou Chun took off under the gaze of the monk surnamed Hu and left the stone mountain.
It wasn't until Zhou Chun was seen away that the monk surnamed Hu waved his hand and said: "Let's go too, and when we go back, we will call someone to come and dig a hole in the mountain, the carcasses of the gold-eating rats in the cave and the spiritual gold ore they stole can't be wasted like this." ”
Without worrying about alarming the gold-eating rats and causing them to move, digging a passage to a hundred zhang deep underground is actually not too difficult for immortal cultivators.
On the other side, after Zhou Chun left Shishan, he returned directly to the family.
It is impossible for him to exchange the golden leaf bamboo root alone, so maybe he really can't leave Cangzhou alive.
Therefore, he was going to ask the Third Elder Zhou Daoquan to bring the Fire God Jackal of the Supreme Elder to come after he went back, so that if someone really dared to do something to them for the sake of a five-hundred-year-old golden-leaf bamboo grass, don't blame them for being ruthless.
Half a month later, Zhou Chun, who came to Cangzhou again with the third elder Zhou Daoquan, successfully exchanged a five-hundred-year-old ginseng with a Zifu family in Cangzhou for gold-leaf bamboo grass.
Compared with the scarce gold-leaf bamboo root, the widely used 500-year-old ginseng is undoubtedly more valuable.
And the five-hundred-year-old spirit ginseng that Zhou Chun used in this exchange was also exchanged from the Wang family of the Red Medicine Valley, and the exchange was the one or two or four coins of incense and musk incense that he had left in his hand.
In this transaction, the Wang family also made a lot of money from him.
So in the end, the two families who traded with Zhou Chun did not suffer losses, and only he himself gave a second blood for this necessary thing.
And I don't know if it was Zhou Daoquan's cultivation in the later stage of foundation building that had a deterrent effect, after the completion of this transaction, Zhou Chun and the others went smoothly all the way and did not encounter any attacks.
In this way, with the arrival of the two-flavor main medicine for refining the golden spirit to regulate qi dispersion, Zhou Chun quickly asked the patriarch Zhou Daoyi to go to the Li family with the elixir of the golden spirit to regulate qi dispersion, and asked the alchemy master of the Li family to personally refine this medicine.
Because the Zhou family provided the pill recipe this time, the alchemy master of the Li family took the job very quickly and did not accept a penny.
In this way, less than half a month passed, and the well-refined golden spirit qi dispersion was in Zhou Chun's hands.
At this point, all the preparations he needed to make for the transfer of the "Golden Ding Xuangong" had been made, and he only had to wait for the success of the Patriarch Zhou Daoyi's spiritual pet Tianqing Cloud Python Transformation Jiao, and then he would be able to retreat and transfer to this top-level exercise.
