Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Black Scale Rat

Winter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a few heavy snowfalls, the mountains and mountains are turned into a piece of snow, or continuous, or independent, quietly lying prone between the heaven and the earth, so that the whole world is clothed in a touch of silver, only some towering ancient pines, knife wall cliffs can see some different colors.

The Jiuqu River, which is as wide as a hundred zhang, has been completely frozen, and the surging river water in midsummer has long disappeared, and has been whitewashed into a silver-white jade belt by the power of heaven and earth, together with the surrounding raised peaks, the entire Jiuqu River is like a white jade bead falling on the earth.

On this day, the sun was shining, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold deep winter, and the seven white cranes rose from the city lord's mansion in Jiuqu West City again, and Gu Lianying took Chang Feng and the six people to start the third inspection since entering Jiuqu City.

Fire cashmere jacket, blood deerskin boots, ferret hat...... Each of them wore fur clothes and a black or white cape, which was extremely soft, and the seven of them did not have to fear the bitter cold of the deep winter.

The first two inspection tasks were very smooth, and for the third inspection that was about to start, several people were already familiar with the road, even if they didn't need to be led by Gu Lianying, they could easily complete the task with only a few disciples.

After a few months of close communication, Chang Feng and Luan Qingzhi got along very well, and even Qi Zhen and Wei Xiaoyan made Chang Feng's jokes early, so that Chang Feng could grasp it tightly, get a little girlfriend, and get Luan Qingzhi.

However, at this time, Chang Feng had just entered his youth, and he didn't know anything about love and love, and he was far from being as cheeky as Wei Xiaoyan, every time his senior brother and sister made a joke, he took it as a joke.

At this moment, Chang Feng and Luan Qingzhi fell behind the team, enjoying the beautiful snow scene below.

Signaling to a big mountain not far away, Luan Qingzhi said to Chang Feng with a happy face: "Senior Brother Chang, look at the mountain peak in the distance, the first light snow has just fallen during the last inspection...... Now, it has been completely covered by heavy snow, so white!

Chang Feng is no stranger to heavy snow, there are many snowy scenes in his memory before the age of nine, and even the heavy snow in his memory is far greater than what he sees now, but he has never seen snow in his three-year career as an official slave.

Originally, he was thinking about the past, but was interrupted by Luan Qingzhi, Chang Feng did not feel the slightest annoyance, looked at Luan Qingzhi's face that was red because of the cold, and smiled slightly: "Senior Sister Luan, haven't you seen heavy snow?"

"No, before I came to the sect, I had never seen snow, and my grandmother's house was like spring all year round, and it never snowed. Luan Qingzhi responded with a smile, and then gestured to the peaks in front of him and cheered.

Hearing that this little junior sister was so happy to see the heavy snow, Chang Feng just smiled slightly, and as for the other senior brothers and sisters, they reciprocated with the same smile.

Although the deep winter is cold, the cutting of floating wood and the mining of spirit stone mines continue, and there are even more mortals participating in the labor than in other seasons, because winter is the best season to cut down floating wood, and the mining of spirit stone mines will not be affected by the season in any way.

After the inspection of the floating wood yards everywhere was completed, the spirit stone mines were also seen, and the time was spent unconsciously.

On this day, they came to a spirit stone mine, which was the last inspection site, and after the inspection, they could return to Jiuqu City to end this inspection mission.

But before they could land, there was already chaos in the mining area, a large number of mortals rushed out of several mines, many of them were bleeding from their heads and were seriously injured, while the town guard monks and the management monks in Jiuqu City rushed towards the mines.

Seeing such a situation, everyone naturally knew that there was an accident in the mine, and they couldn't help but change their faces.

"Go down. Gu Lianying, who had always been elegant, also took her cloak and said hello, sat down and flew the flying spirit beast suddenly accelerated and flew directly towards the mine, and Chang Feng and the others also followed closely.

Seeing Gu Lianying leading several personal disciples to arrive, Lin Wenshan and Zhou Wei, the two foundation building leaders who were in charge of guarding this place, were overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

Gu Lianying raised her palm to signal that the two of them didn't need those clichés, and asked directly: "What happened?"

Lin Wenshan, a disciple of the town guard, hurriedly responded: "Uncle Hui, according to the accounts of the escaped miners, a large number of black-scaled rats suddenly appeared in the mine, and it is very likely that they dug up the nest of black-scaled rats, and the specific situation has not yet been determined." ”

The black scale rat is a kind of monster beast like a wild boar, with hard and smooth scale armor all over the body, sharp teeth and sharp mouth, subject to bloodline and talent, generally up to the second order, and rarely the third order black scale rat appears, but this kind of demon beast is a group, generally more than a dozen or dozen, and more than a hundred.

The black-scaled rat mainly feeds on the fish of the grass valley river, and also eats meat, but prefers to devour minerals containing the aura of heaven and earth such as gold, iron, and spirit stones, and is a demon beast that is often encountered in the mines.

Generally speaking, the town guards in the mines alone would be able to deal with these monsters.

Hearing that they had just encountered a black-scaled rat, Gu Lianying and Chang Feng's faces relaxed slightly.

And Zhou Wei, who was standing on the side, also took the opportunity to report: "Uncle Shang, my subordinates have already arranged for my disciples to enter the mine to escort the evacuation of mortal miners, settle them, and at the same time carry out a clean-up, I believe it won't take long to have results, and I also invite Uncle Shangzong and you to rest in the room for a while." ”

Zhou Wei is obviously a member of the Zhou family in Jiuqu City, and he can have the mid-stage cultivation of foundation building, and he is obviously superior to being sent to supervise a spirit stone mine, and he will report the treatment measures in a simple sentence.

Gu Lianying obviously recognized Zhou Wei's handling measures, nodded her head, but did not accept Zhou Wei's suggestion, but stood in front of the mine and waited for the results.

Although the elegant and charming Grandmaster Uncle in front of him did not answer, his nodding was enough to recognize him, and Zhou Wei was also in a good mood.

From time to time, there were still mortal miners running out of the entrance to the mine, most of them unharmed, but many of them were covered in bruises and struggled to escape.

As soon as they escaped from the mine, they were immediately answered.

Under the maintenance of the town guard monks, the chaotic entrance to the mine stabilized slightly, and many mortals gathered together to wait for news from the monks, although they were all strong and strong, but the first-order black scale rat was not something they could deal with, the thick scale armor was not at all something that ordinary swords could cut through, and the sharp claws of the black scale rat were enough to kill them.

Everyone didn't wait long, and in less than half a moment, a monk in the early stage of foundation building flew out of the mine with a broken arm, and then fell directly in front of Gu Lianying and the others.

"Sixth, you ...... How could it be like this?" Seeing this person, Zhou Wei was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the escaped disciple.

"Third brother, there is a large group of black-scaled rats inside, and the number is ...... As many as a thousand, it is possible to ...... There may be a third-order rat king, and more than a dozen brothers are trapped inside, be careful. After saying it intermittently, the monk who escaped tilted his head and fainted because of the blood loss.
