Chapter 18: The Golden-clawed Mouse
The first place they went to was a canyon deep in the Cloud Mountains--- Yellow Sand Valley. The Yellow Sand Valley is a special canyon filled with sand and several monsters live at the same time. According to the information collected, there are several litters of golden-clawed rats in this yellow sand valley.
Golden-clawed rats like to eat sand snakes the most, so they are ready early. They stopped in a cave, released a sand snake, and followed from a distance, waiting for the golden-clawed rat to take the bait.
Things went well, and soon a golden-clawed rat took the bait. Several of them worked together and killed him. In three days, they killed a total of twenty golden-clawed rats. But in the end, it still alarmed the rat group, and several litters of golden-clawed rats besieged them together. Everyone was still wounded and in a mess.
After resting for two days, Li Xiaobai and his injuries basically recovered. Now there are ten golden-clawed rats left to complete the mission, and the Yellow Sand Valley can't go any further. There is another place near here where there are golden-clawed rats, and that is ----- Jinshaling. However, to go to Jinshaling, they had to fly for two days to get there.
Two days later, a golden hillside appeared before their eyes. This hillside is much larger than the Yellow Sand Valley, and the rest of the golden-clawed rats can definitely be found here. There must be demon beasts above the condensation stage in such a large Jinsha Ridge, so they carefully started to search for them from the edge of Jinsha Ridge.
In a cave, ** released another sand snake, but this time it was not so lucky. The cave was very deep, and it was like a labyrinth, and the sand snake didn't climb far before it was eaten by a lizard in the early stage of condensation. Li Xiaobai and the others had no choice but to go together after the lizard was killed, and then continued to move forward.
The role of the sand snake in this cave is not much, Li Xiaobai and they continued to walk towards the cave, this time because they did not continue to release the snake, so they walked very fast. Fortunately, this cave was on the outskirts of Jinshaling, and they didn't encounter too powerful demon beasts. Basically, they were all in the early stage of condensation, so the demon beasts they encountered were all killed by them.
Finally, Li Xiaobai, who had been walking in the cave for most of the day, found the trace of the golden-clawed rat at a corner. In fact, what they found was not a golden-clawed rat, but a golden spirit grass. This cave is very secretive in the shape of a figure-of-eight, with a small mouth on the outside and a large mouth on the inside. There was a small puddle in the middle of the cave, and next to the puddle was a golden spirit grass, and it was ripe.
The sandy land where the golden spirit grass grows is actually a large piece of golden spirit sand. Although this golden spirit sand is also a kind of spirit sand, it is too troublesome to refine, so it is not widely used, and it is not exchanged for the treasure pavilion. However, Li Xiaobai attracted the attention of this piece of Jin Lingsha.
Li Xiaobai decided to wait for the rabbit and wait for the appearance of the golden-clawed rat in this cave. After waiting for most of the day, there was finally movement, and two golden-clawed rat thieves ran towards this cave. Fortunately, these two golden-clawed rats are both in the early stage of condensation, and they seem to have just matured. It didn't cause much movement before he was killed.
Suddenly, there was a rat chirping "squeak".
"Oh no, there's a golden-clawed rat out there!"
By the time Li Xiaobai found out, it was too late, and the shape of six or seven golden-clawed rats had already appeared at the entrance of the cave, blocking the entire cave entrance. Soon, nearly twenty golden-clawed rats appeared in the cave and surrounded them.
This is miserable, except for Li Xiaobai, several other people have a worried face. If this one can't be done, the four of them may have to explain it here.
The moment it was surrounded by the golden-clawed rats, the cloud beast actually woke up. The cloud beasts that had recovered to the late stage of condensation did not take these golden-clawed rats seriously at all. Li Xiaobai has a cloud beast as a backer, so he is very calm.
"Stand back and protect yourselves. The corners of Li Xiaobai's mouth rose and said very calmly.
Just when the three of them didn't understand what Li Xiaobai meant, the cloud beast moved.
The puppy that has always been lying on Li Xiaobai's shoulder with the cute image of a pocket cute pet, the white light disappeared from Li Xiaobai's shoulder. When it reappeared, it was already in front of everyone's eyes. A big dog dressed in snow white and full of arrogance pounced on the golden-clawed rat.
The Cloud Beast is a super divine beast Tengu with a noble bloodline and a strong physique. And it was also a realm higher than the golden-clawed rats, and it took no effort to kill these dozen golden-clawed rats.
Just when Brother Ma and the others were dumbfounded, the cloud beast had turned into a pocket cute dog that had always been cute and lay on Li Xiaobai's shoulder.
"Hurry up and pick up the loot," Li Xiaobai reminded everyone who was still stunned.
"Xiaobai, is that your spirit beast?" asked Li Xiaobai with a little stammer. Brother Ma and Zhang Wei also looked at Li Xiaobai expectantly, waiting for the answer to the question.
Li Xiaobai was a little helpless, originally he didn't plan to let anyone know about the cloud beast. Because there is a world model in the body of the cloud beast, there are also treasures hidden in the world model that the dragon battle has to protect at the cost of his life. Therefore, Li Xiaobai reluctantly admitted that the cloud beast was his spirit beast, hoping that they could help him keep it secret.
The three of them had expressions on their faces that I understood, and told Li Xiaobai that they would not tell the story if they were killed.
After collecting the loot, Li Xiaobai asked the three of them to help him protect the Dharma outside the entrance of the cave. He drew the attention of this piece of golden spirit sand. The golden spirit sand in this cave is thousands of squares, and if you want to get so many of them into the world model, you can only do it by the cloud beast. Tengu's devouring talent, it's still very simple to swallow this bit of spiritual sand.
After a while, the cloud beast swallowed more than half of the cave's golden spirit sand, and suddenly a seed appeared in the golden spirit sand. Li Xiaobai didn't care, the cloud beast continued to devour, swallowing the entire cave's golden spirit sand before stopping.
When the cloud beast finished devouring the golden spirit sand, Li Xiaobai couldn't wait to go to the world model to see if his idea was right. One enters the world model. Li Xiaobai piled all the golden spirit sand at the root of the World Tree seedling, and sure enough, the World Tree's boundary power light curtain began to expand.
Suddenly, there was a "explosion" sound from Jin Lingsha. It was as if something had exploded. Suddenly, a seedling came out of the sand, and in a short time it grew to the thickness of an arm.
Li Xiaobai suddenly thought of the seed that fell out when the cloud beast devoured the golden spirit sand just now. I don't know when, I came here again, and it took root. It can be seen that this seed is not an ordinary seed.
As Li Xiaobai thought, this newly grown tree emitted halos of light and was being absorbed by the World Tree. After the World Tree stopped absorbing it, the Boundary Force Light Curtain suddenly soared, suddenly doubling in size just now. At this time, the tower-shaped treasure has been shrouded.
Li Xiaobai was very excited now, and the Burning Sky Sword could finally be withdrawn. Binghe can also find a chance to give light snow. A message popped into his mind, and he happened to grasp it. That's what it looks like.
Li Xiaobai finally understood the secret of the expansion of the power light curtain of the World Tree Seedling Realm just now. It turns out that the growth of the World Tree requires more than just spiritual springs and spiritual soil. The nourishment it needs to absorb is the power of the five elements. Just now, the realm power light curtain of the World Tree seedling suddenly doubled, and it was because of the wood attribute nutrients provided by the tree that had just appeared.
The nutrients provided by Li Xiaobai to the World Tree seedlings are, spiritual spring, spiritual earth, fire crystal, and golden spirit sand lack wood attributes. Therefore, as soon as the wood attribute appeared, the World Tree doubled wildly.
Li Xiaobai came out of the world model and was very happy. At this time, the cave has become a large pit. Brother Ma and the others were surprised when they saw the changes in the cave. I didn't know how to ask him, Li Xiaobai just smiled lightly and walked the way he came.
Seeing that Li Xiaobai didn't say anything, Brother Da Ma didn't ask much! Finally, the task was completed, and there were several more golden-clawed rats, and they also found a Jinling grass. Their hearts were filled with joy.
As soon as Li Xiaobai and the others came out of the cave, suddenly a flame shot towards them. Fortunately, they were found in time, and they flashed quickly, otherwise they would have been seriously injured. Because it was a demon beast from the foundation building period that attacked them, and it was also a bird.
This demon beast is a fire crow, and the realm must have reached the foundation. I didn't expect to encounter it as soon as I came out of the cave. Huowu's eyes were full of hostile light, and he kept attacking Li Xiaobai and them. Flames shot out one after another, leaving Li Xiaobai and them helpless. The realm difference is too great.
Li Xiaobai let the three of them hide in the cave. The body that has been transformed by the bloodline of his Yin Yang Dragon Butterfly has a certain immunity to the flames of the fire black. It just so happened that the Burning Sky Sword had returned to his hands, and there was still a terrifying earth fire in the Burning Sky Sword, so he was not afraid at all in the face of this foundation-building fire crow.
After Li Xiaobai uses the butterfly body, his body is flexible and fast. The flames of the black fire could not hit him at all. After wrestling with the fire crow for a long time, he suddenly found a flaw in the fire crow. By the time the fire crow reacted, it was too late, and the Sky Burning Sword spewed out a trace of earth fire that had already reached its eyes. Terrifying flames shot through his head. Huo Wu soon died, and Li Xiaobai put away the Burning Sky Sword only to find that the earth fire in the Burning Sky Sword was actually less than half. It seems that when Earth Fire maintained the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Array in the world model, it consumed too much, and now it is used a little less. In the future, you should save some of it and save it for when you save your life.
