23. Impulsive price

They also cut off their ears and put them in their pockets, as they did in Zisin's example.

After several battles, the two of them also saved up enough and decided to go back to the village.

As they passed through a bush, Zisin stopped the two:

"See that white stuff in the grass?"

The two of them looked closely, and in a gray-green bush, there was a constantly wriggling object.

"It's called a stinging mouse, don't look at it as small, its thorns will hurt people"

The two stared at the pointy-mouthed, long-needle-like white thorny thing that was sleeping leisurely in the grass at the moment.

"Go Further"

The two nodded, walked out more than ten meters, and saw that with a wave of Qi Xin's staff, the blue ice ball smashed into the stinging mouse, and the stinging mouse was woken up by the "bang", and the body shrunk into a ball with a "whoosh", protecting the belly inside, and with a tremble, several thorns were also launched.

Zisin took a few steps back and fired several pucks in succession, all of which hit without exception.

The stinging rat finally fell to the ground after a whimper.

Qi Xin kicked the stinging mouse, revealing the pink belly under his belly, took out a knife, and explained as he scribbled:

"This skin is a good medicine for healing, but be careful, if you are pierced by its thorns, your body will be paralyzed for a short time"

He cut off the soft piece of flesh whole, rolled it together, put it in his pocket, and said to the two of them:

"Let's go back to the village"

was about to leave, only to hear Guo Dongdong shout:

"Look, what's this shiny thing?"

When I looked back, I saw that she had picked up a red pillar-shaped thing, the size of her palm, glowing slightly.

"This! Show me! ”

Qi Xin's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief, he took the thing, looked at it carefully, and looked at it for a long time before he said:

"You're lucky, it's ice crystals"

"Ice crystals?"

The two were a little surprised, and Huang Junming suddenly remembered the content on the mechanical board he saw in the morning:

"Long-term Mission: Blue Ice Crystals or Red Ice Crystals, 200 Silver each"

His tongue tightened a little, and he asked tentatively:

"It's worth 200 silver?"

Qi Xin nodded again and again, handed back the ice crystal to Guo Dongdong, and exclaimed enviously:

"I've been here for 5 days, and I haven't encountered ice crystals, although it is possible to get it by killing any monster, but the lord also said that the probability is extremely low, almost impossible, only those fierce and powerful monsters will drop ice crystals"

Guo Dongdong secretly calculated an account in his heart, taking the 10,000 silver coins promised by the lord before, then only 50 ice crystals were needed to leave.

Compared to the 10 silver coins of daily quests, cutting out the ears of monsters and getting blood on their hands to collect ice crystals is really an easy job.

But Qi Xin obviously enjoys life here, and he shouldn't leave to earn ice crystals.

She looked at Huang Junming and saw that he had the same thoughts as herself, so she turned to Qi Xin and said:

"You go back first, let's kill a few stingers and then go"

"Huh?"

Seeing that they were resolute, Qi Xin no longer persuaded them, but only said the words "be careful", and walked in the direction of the village.

The two of them did not relax, and carefully observed the surroundings, which were mostly flat mud ground, with a few dry yellow paths that had been trampled out, and the trees were mostly short, and they walked along the road, looking into the grass as they went, looking for the figure of the stinging mouse.

After looking for a while, it didn't matter, Guo Dongdong proposed, it was better to go deeper into the grass, and sure enough, after walking a few steps, he found three stinging rats lying in the grass.

These three were much smaller than the ones I had seen before, two were sleeping on their stomachs, and one was scratching their holes, clutching the earthworms that crawled out.

The two approached softly, Guo Dongdong shot first, and the dagger instantly pierced into the body of the moving mouse, the mouse was obviously frightened, kept writhing, and made a "yo yo" sound in his mouth.

The mouse next to him immediately woke up, glared at them fiercely, gritted his fine teeth, and made a "squeak" sound in his mouth.

Guo Dongdong secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but he still saved some luck, thinking that the previous wooden hammer monster was only a few hits, and it didn't matter much in the end, so he simply kicked over the stinging mouse in front of him and plunged the dagger into its stomach.

Blood splattered as the knife edge spurted, and after a few seconds, the stinging mouse's body went limp.

The two mice around seemed to be frightened and motionless, Huang Junming saw that they were in a daze, so he picked one up with one hand and threw it on the ground, letting Guo Dongdong cut his belly.

But after a while, he will get rid of the three, and according to what Qi Xin taught before, remove the skin and put the mouse skin in his pocket.

The two of them carefully examined it, and it was true that no ice crystals had fallen before leaving.

If you can't get ice crystals, you can exchange a few mouse skins for a few silver coins.

Seeing that the twilight was getting deeper and deeper, the two hurriedly walked in the direction of the village.

They didn't know much about the road, only that they walked along the trails of dead grass on the ground, went around in many circles, and were about to make a mark to identify the way, only to hear a low "click" sound around them.

"Senior, did you hear that?"

"Uh-huh......."

I saw that in the grass in front of them, there were several stinging rats squatting at some point, they were prostrate on the ground, their green triangular eyes showed resentment, and the thin teeth in their sharp mouths were "clicking".

"Retreat one after another, don't anger them for the time being"

Huang Junming saw their hostility and wanted to retreat for the time being and then find a way, only to see Guo Dongdong tearing his clothes, showing a frightened expression:

"Back, senior, look at the back......"

Huang Junming turned around, only to see dozens of stinging rats lying in the grass behind him, one of them was dark and conspicuous in the dark gray grass, and the thorns on his back stood upright like sticks.

"Oh no......."

The two of them secretly said that it was not good, those mice, I am afraid that they are the cubs of this group, the revenge of killing their sons, they did not return to the village in time, and they were surrounded by groups, I am afraid that there will be more than luck.

Guo Dongdong was even more uneasy, pulling Huang Junming's sleeve and trembling constantly, where did they deal with so many prickly mice, after thinking of something, he reached out and threw the flesh and skin he had obtained on the ground, shouting:

"Give it back to you!"

I saw the flesh of the cubs being thrown on the ground haphazardly.

Completely enraged by the stinging rats in the grass, they all jumped at the two of them and pounced on them.

"Run!"

Huang Junming hurriedly pulled Guo Dongdong to run, and the two didn't recognize the direction, so they had to rush towards the weak place of encirclement.

The rats kept chasing after them, but fortunately, this time they found the right way, and not far away was the stone bridge at the entrance of the village.

"Get out of the way!" When he was about to approach the stone bridge, Huang Junming pushed him hard, and Guo Dongdong was pushed and stumbled, but he finally stood firm.

Only then did he realize that he was less than half a meter away, with dozens of long spines, and if he hadn't been pushed away, he might have been stabbed to death.

Looking at Huang Junming again, I saw that his face was painful, he covered his arm, and sat on the ground, and a few thorns actually pierced his arm.

Guo Dongdong pulled him hard and wanted to pull him up, but he only heard him say:

"No, I can't move"

There were also a few stinging rats emerging from the grass in front of the stone bridge, and they seemed to understand the goal of the two, and crouched there, trying to block their last trace of survival.
