Chapter 37: Rats

The misty forest stretches for hundreds of miles, and in the forest, it is foggy all year round, so it has the name Misty Forest.

The Misty Forest is an important area for Tianyi Sect to obtain heavenly and earthly treasures, don't look at the mist here all day long, but all kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs are growing very well.

It's just recently, a group of soul devouring rats migrated from nowhere, these guys multiply quickly, the population expands rapidly, and there are shadows of soul devouring rats in many places in the forest, and more importantly, this kind of demon beast eats everything, if it is allowed to develop, the heavenly materials and earth treasures in the misty forest will be eaten by these small things, so the sect issued such a task.

Even though it was past noon, the fog in the misty forest had not completely dissipated, and it was like a light veil, looming.

The green trees and grass are wet with mist, and the leaves are green and shiny. He Ping brushed aside the branches and walked through the forest. He is not fast and tries not to make a sound. He had the impression that rats and other animals should be timid and good at burrowing, and he couldn't help these things if they didn't get out of the hole.

After a long time, He Ping finally found a gold-eating rat, and the little guy was holding a carrot-like thing, squeaking and gnawing.

The leaves of this thing are narrow and long, and there are two small milky white flowers on the stem. There were a lot of leaves, almost blocking the entire body of the gold-eating rat, if it weren't for the constant shaking of those flowers and leaves, He Ping wouldn't have been able to see this gold-eating rat.

Although it is called the Golden Mouse, this guy does not look like a mouse at all, but rather like a rabbit, with silver fur, smooth and abnormal, as if coated with a layer of oil. Small colored ears, round, like two pink shells. The light blue eyes are big, round, cute, and very cute.

The gold-eating rat took a bite to eat, chewing quickly with its mouth, and its big cute eyes blinked gently.

He Ping took out his sword and walked forward slowly, not allowing himself to make a sound.

I don't know how the gold-devouring rat found He Ping, and suddenly threw away the food and ran into the distance.

He Ping was unwilling to let it go, and chased after him, and the sword slashed out, and when the sword fell, it was cut into the air, and he chased it and cut it again, and cut it again. The gold devouring rat is very fast, and it is very good at escaping, constantly changing the direction of escape, He Ping slashed more than a dozen swords, and finally hit it.

The sword slashed right at its back, and it should have cut off its spine, and the gold devouring rat was incapacitated at once. Add another sword and kill the Gold Eater. One-fifth of the spirit stones are in hand. This is too easy, isn't it? During the whole process, the gold eater rat didn't even resist.

According to He Ping's understanding, the talent of the gold devouring rat is relatively fast, and the attack method is gnawing and claw attack, both attacks are not strong, and the gold devouring rat seems to know that its attack power is not good, and when it meets the monk, it basically runs away, and rarely attacks, so there is no danger.

He Ping continued to walk deeper into the forest, the fog inside was thicker, the weeds were higher, and it became more difficult to find things.

Because there were too many weeds on the ground, He Ping could no longer walk without sound, and in the next period of time, he could not find a gold eater rat.

On a piece of dead wood, He Ping found a blue translucent object, which was not pretty, like the corner of a plastic box. There is no plastic in this world, and this thing should be crystal blue, which is a low-priced elixir.

He Ping used his small sword to cut off the crystal blue mushroom along with a small piece of dead wood and put it into the storage bag behind him. Although this thing is not worth a few dollars, it is better than nothing! No matter how thin the legs of mosquitoes are, they are still meat.

Going further, he still didn't find the gold-devouring rat, but he found one or two cheap elixirs. What about the rat infestation?

It was getting late, and He Ping had no choice but to go back. Tomorrow, he must complete the basic tasks first, otherwise he will face the punishment of the sect, and he can't stand it. Today you should be on the wrong path, tomorrow you will go in a different direction.

The next day, He Ping got up earlier, hurriedly completed the task, and rushed to the misty forest.

After changing directions, it has been a long time, and I still haven't seen a single gold-eating rat. He Ping felt a little bitter in his heart, why was his luck so bad? Alas, it was normal to think about it, the misty forest was so big, where would he definitely meet the gold devouring rat? Thinking of this, He Ping's mood calmed down and continued to look for it in the depths of the forest.

Suddenly, He Ping's eyes lit up, and on a thick branch not far away, a small silver thing was squatting on it, with its two front paws raised, and its small head turned rapidly, as if looking for something.

He Ping leaned his body against a big tree, and took advantage of the moment when the gold devouring rat turned his head, and gently jumped behind a tree in front of him.

With a click, a dead grass snapped underfoot, and though it was quiet, it was enough to alert the gold-eater rat.

Squeak, squeak, squeak, and with a burst of rapid screams, the gold-eater leaped out and sank into the green bushes.

He Ping did not hesitate and rushed towards the bushes.

Wow, a silver-white dart flew out of the bushes and went straight to He Ping's chest.

At this time, He Ping was only three steps away from the bushes, and the dart shot out extremely suddenly. He Ping's body was rushing forward, and he didn't have time to dodge at all, and in a hurry, he could only swing the small sword in front of him, and when there was a light sound, the dart fell to the ground. It was dangerous, if the sword hadn't been in this direction, he would have been hit by a dart.

He Ping stopped his figure and said loudly, "What person?"

He Ping had already prepared, his body swooped forward, and then rolled sideways, coming to the shrub, the sword swept, and the bush was cut off.

There was no one in the bushes, no one fled from here just now, could it be that he used the Earth Escape Technique? The Earth Escape Technique requires the fifth layer of Qi cultivation to be used, the dart just now is not very powerful, if the other party uses a more powerful attack to sneak attack, I am afraid it will be very troublesome.

He Ping silently blessed the sword with fire spirit magic and wood poison, while paying close attention to the wind and grass around him. The fire spirit technique can make the sword have a scorching effect when attacking, and the wood poison can make the opponent's aura run sluggish, which has some auxiliary effects.

The person who attacked him didn't know where, and there must be a follow-up to that sneak attack. Sure enough, He Ping had just used the magic trick to add status to the sword, and he hadn't had time to take any further action. Two more darts shot out of the withered yellow hay next to it.

It's such a cunning enemy, this is the most difficult place to hide, but it's still a dart combo, and the attack power is a little weak.

He Ping dodged the dart again, and the sword slashed into the grass. With a whew, the hay was ignited by the scorching heat of the sword. With two squeaks, two gold-devouring rats burst out of the flames and fled in different directions.

He Ping rushed towards a gold-devouring rat, and the sword slapped down, with a crisp snap, and the sword body struck the gold-devouring rat's head. The gold-devouring rat was slapped and rolled twice, not injured, but stimulated to be ferocious. The Gold Devouring Rat opened its mouth, bared its sharp teeth, and rushed towards He Ping.

He Ping swung his sword and slashed down. The gold-devouring rat's body twisted strangely, and he actually dodged the sword, and instantly came to He Ping's body, opening his mouth to bite He Ping's calf. He Ping raised his foot and stomped on it, trampling the gold-devouring rat under his feet.

The gold-devouring rat's neck twisted, and its teeth actually bit on He Ping's ankle. He Ping's sword fell at this moment, piercing its head in one fell swoop. The gold-devouring rat's limbs moved a few times, and there was no sound again.

The demon beast's teeth were really sharp, and it bit He Ping's ankle an inch-long opening, revealing Bai Sensen's bones, but fortunately he didn't bite the blood vessels, and the blood flow was not much. Except for a little pain in walking, there is no impact on movement.

Now He Ping has understood that it was not a person who fired the darts just now, but these gold devouring rats.

I don't know what the situation is, but the gold-eater rat who is only a first-level is able to shoot darts, could it be that he has met a mutated gold-eater rat? The first gold-eater rat is obviously very easy to kill.

He Ping walked not far and looked at a gold-eating rat again, and this gold-eating rat did not escape. I saw that its small mouth opened, and an ice arrow shot out of its mouth. Another mutant? Isn't that so damn unlucky!

This is the ice arrow technique of the water spell, because the cultivation of the spell is low, so it can only fire one ice arrow. In addition to damaging enemies, Ice Arrows also have a freezing effect.

Back then, He Ping, who had not yet entered the cultivation realm, was shot by such an ice arrow and almost killed him. Now He Ping is also a little master of the third layer of Qi training, how can he be afraid of a small ice arrow.

He Ping swung his sword and rushed forward, sneering, three sounds of breaking the sky, and three ice arrows shot out of the mouth of this gold-devouring rat, with a piercing chill. Where is this beginner ice archery, this is already an intermediate ice archery. Once hit, He Ping had to be frozen into an ice sculpture.

He Ping's body flashed sharply, dodging three ice arrows. Now this gold-devouring rat is no match for him, and he has to find a way to escape. Only then did He Ping discover that there were two more in the grass next to the gold-devouring rat.

At this moment, another gold-devouring rat came running in the distance, and gathered with the three of them. The gold-eating rat, which had opened its mouth, suddenly closed its mouth and moved closer to the new gold-eater rat, and the other two also surrounded it.

The new gold-eater rat's eyes narrowed, and he looked at He Ping playfully, like a beast staring at a prey that was about to arrive. He Ping's heart sank suddenly, and he quickly retreated.

At this time, the bodies of the four gold-devouring rats in front of them actually floated, faster than He Ping. The first gold devouring rat opened its mouth, and a wave of destroying flame energy came out, He Ping saw a flame ball appear in front of the gold devouring rat, the size of a football, don't look at the small volume, but it seems to contain the energy of destroying the world and destroying the world!

Intermediate Spell - Fireball Technique! He Ping couldn't believe his eyes, the Gold Devouring Rat actually sent out the Fireball Technique, isn't that a technique that can only be used in the late stage of Qi training?

What the hell is going on, is this the Golden Rat King? How can it be so powerful?

He Ping wanted to run, but it was too late. The fireball was extremely fast, turning into a ball of fire shadow, and flying with a roar.

He Ping had just pounced to the side, and ——, fireball suddenly violent, and He Ping was thrown out.
