Chapter 49: The Rat Demon

In the Moon Tower in the west city of Yuncheng, a group of scholars were sitting around talking about Fengyue, and suddenly a young scholar wearing a scarf said to the students present:

"I've heard that someone has seen that golden skeleton in the basin to the east again!"

"Naturally, I heard about it, I still know this person!"

Sitting opposite the young scholar was an older scholar wearing a white silk robe, looking at the students present, and said mysteriously:

"According to my neighbor, that magical golden skeleton asked him to pick up a load of water from the Moon Watching Well in the Zhu Mansion in our city every month when the moon is full!"

None of the scholars who were working had heard this version of the story about the golden skull, so they craned their necks one by one, their eyes widened, and stared at their storytellers:

"You know that my family comes from a humble background, and since I was admitted to Xiucai, I inadvertently helped this neighbor of mine win a lawsuit!"

When the scholars heard that their companions had changed the subject, they were all reluctant:

"Tell me about the skeleton and don't change the subject!"

"That's it, when did you kid learn to hang people's appetites!"

"Speak quickly, don't go off-topic!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, listen to me slowly," the scholar took a sip of wine and continued: " My neighbor, originally his family was not much better than mine, since he met the golden skeleton, he was really not afraid, every month he took a load of well water to the golden skeleton, not to mention his luck is really good, the golden skeleton every time told him a place to hide treasure, now this neighbor of mine, although he can't be said to be rich, but he is also a well-off family, even I have benefited from it, you see this silk robe on my body, it is my neighbor who thanked me for helping him win the lawsuit!"

Except for a few students, most of the scholars' classmates were dressed in cloth clothes, and these people looked at the classmates in front of them with envy. Such a silk robe is at least ten taels of silver. Not everyone can afford it.

Just as this group of scholars was talking about the Golden Skull, on the eastern outskirts of Yuncheng, a group of monks gathered together and were also talking about the Golden Skull:

"He Daoyou. Did you really find out where the golden skeleton was hiding?"

"Chen Daoyou, do you question the old man's words?"

"Ma Daoyou, don't you believe He's words either?"

"He Daoyou, you don't have to be angry, how can we not believe your words? It's just the place we're going to this time. You must pass through a rat demon's lair, and you can be sure of victory!"

This group of Yuncheng monks is the strongest in the He family, but the Chen family and the Ma family have joined forces over the years, which has threatened the status of the He family. Ever since He Dongting, the head of the He family, used all his family's strength to create a superb magic weapon, the Flame Knife, he has been thinking of using this magic weapon to deter the Chen family and the Ma family.

The rest of the small families in Cheng, the Dong family, the Lu family, the Meng family, and the Zheng family. What is the Xu family, Chen, ****** is the first to look forward, these families all play the role of the grass on the wall in Yuncheng, who makes their strength low?

"Lao Dong, what do you think?"

At the back of this large group of monks, the weakest head of the Dong family and the head of the Xu family, the two heads of the family had the best relationship, and they were secretly talking about the matter in front of them at this time.

"Lao Xu, I think we might as well follow the He family this time. This time, the Zheng family and the Lu family have made it clear that they are joining forces with the Chen family and the Ma family, and it makes no sense for us to join at this time. It's better to advance and retreat with the He family!"

"Well, Lao Xu, your thoughts coincide with mine, let's take a gamble this time, otherwise it will be difficult for Yuncheng to have a foothold for us again!"

Yuncheng has a small spiritual vein, and produces a wide range of ironwood and lazuli. Although ironwood has a wide range of uses, it is not valuable. Except for refining the most basic defensive armor and shields, they can only be used as auxiliary materials.

Compared with ironwood, lazuli is much more valuable, because lazuli can be refined into a metal containing a strong cold, it belongs to a kind of metal outside the essence of hardware, but the value is far above the essence of ordinary hardware.

The He family, the Chen family and the Ma family divided the blue lazuli produced by the underground veins in the western suburbs of Yuncheng, the He family monopolized forty percent of the ore veins, and the Chen family and the Ma family divided the other sixty percent.

This time, the reason why the He family decided to join forces with Chen and Ma was to show their strong strength on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was actually to capture the golden skeleton.

According to the information they received, the golden skeleton was able to discover the treasures that existed underground, and this news was extremely important to the He family. In recent years, the amount of blue lazuli produced in several mines controlled by the He family has decreased year by year, while the ore veins controlled by the Chen family and the Ma family have shown a momentum of increasing production, which has made the He family's position in Yuncheng have been strongly impacted.

"He Daoyou's joint suggestion this time, Ma thinks it's better to postpone it, and when we find a way to deal with the rat demon, how about going to the basin to find the golden skeleton?"

"It's good!"

The head of the He family suddenly changed his tone and agreed to the proposal of the head of the Ma family, which made the head of the Chen family and the head of the Ma family look at each other for a while. Where would the head of these two families think that He Dongting, the head of the He family, sent the family manpower for a year, and finally figured out that every other month, the golden skeleton would leave the old nest before the month ago and appear in a col more than twenty miles away from the rat demon's lair.

However, this time the He family also miscalculated, the golden skeleton Yunxiao finally completed the cultivation of the soul restoration technique, and just last month he recovered his physical body, and he had decided to leave Yuncheng to go to the Great Jin Dynasty to find his mother.

"Cui'er, you take your younger brothers and sisters, go and prepare first, we must be foolproof this time!"

He Cui'er is the only descendant of the He family at the peak of the Xuan Qi Realm, and has been accepted as an inner disciple by the powerful Immortal Sect in Daqi, this time He Dongting is ready to do both, once the capture of the golden skeleton and the encirclement of the rat demon fail, he will throw out the news that his daughter has become a disciple of the Immortal Sect.

With the support of the Huaxian Sect, the Chen family and the Ma family can only bow down. Thinking of this, He Dongting's mood became much better, he couldn't see the Chen family and the Ma family walking with the Lu family, so he turned around and left, but the direction he left was not consistent with the direction in which his daughter and other juniors left.

In the eastern suburbs of Yuncheng less than a hundred miles away from the center of the basin, there is a rat demon's lair, and there is a serious mistake in the news that He Jiatan heard, because in this rat demon's lair, a rat king was born not long ago.

Although this Rat King is only the cultivation of the early stage of the Demon King. But in the face of the He family's only ancestor who cultivated in the middle of the Tiangang Realm, he still had the strength to kill in seconds.

The He family, like other scattered cultivation families, was extremely short in terms of cultivation resources. Otherwise, with He Cui'er's qualifications on the ground level, he is nearly thirty years old. Haven't broken through to the Hell Realm yet.

After He Cuier said goodbye to her father, she took her younger siblings to ride a horse and wanted to go to the eastern suburbs of Yuncheng. Although the He family is a loose cultivation family, they can't afford to buy flying magic weapons in large quantities, with the strength of the He family, only the ancestor and the head of the family have flying magic weapons, and they are also the lowest-level flying magic weapons.

"Sister Fu'er. How do you feel about your recent cultivation, have you been able to break through to the Xuan Qi realm within a month?"

"Sister, don't worry about it!"

He Lufu is the daughter of He Dongting's cousin, she has a haughty personality and is more qualified than her cousin He Cuier, but she can't be a person, and she belongs to the kind of sinister and stingy woman.

When He Cuier heard her cousin's words, she didn't care, and still rushed to the eastern suburbs with the big guy. Along the way, because He Lufu bumped into the eldest sister, the other juniors of the He family were embarrassed to speak again. One by one, they just hurried away, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.

Before the junior of the He family arrived at the rat demon's lair, Yunxiao, who had recovered his human body, was already waiting near the rat demon's lair.

"What a coincidence, I haven't been recovering for a long time, and I actually met a rat demon king who has just advanced, and it seems that my injuries will be recovered by this guy's demon pill!"

Yunxiao cast the spell of stealth and concealment, quietly approaching the rat demon lair, most of the rat demons encountered along the way are the strength of the little demons, they do not dare to leave the lair too far, and some of the stronger big demons are guarding all directions of the lair.

Most of the rat demons have gray-black fur. It is much larger than a domestic cat, and is about to catch up with the average adult hunting dog. In addition to this, there are some reds, greens. Blue-furred rat demons, all of which inhabit the core area of the lair.

It is obvious that these rat demons with abnormal fur colors are all candidates for the future rat king. Since the space in the rat demon's lair is not large, Yunxiao found the rat king's lair and turned around and left.

Before he left the Rat King's lair, he stumbled upon the Rat King's treasure trove, which contained some spirit stones. The largest number of them are blue lazuli, and the most striking thing is that there is a hidden stone that emits a glow.

"Sword Spirit!

Sword essence and psychic sword blank are the same, are the spiritual things generated by heaven and earth, psychic sword billet is a naturally formed sword, after adding related materials, there is a great chance to become a psychic sword, and the sword essence is a higher grade psychic sword blank, the difference between them is that the sword essence does not need to be cast separately, only the monk who gets it can exert a strong strength by putting it into the dantian qi sea to cultivate.

In contrast to the psychic sword blank, the Sword Essence is not suitable for relying on the sharpness of the blade to damage enemies, as it is not a physical sword. However, the sword essence is more suitable for integrating the sword intent of sword cultivation, and it can give full play to the powerful power of holy swordsmanship and immortal swordsmanship.

"I've always wanted to find such an invisible sword, but I didn't expect it to be in vain!"

The Rat King didn't know that he had inadvertently dug up a stone that contained a treasure containing sword essence, and he cheapened Yunxiao for nothing, and Yunxiao didn't realize that he had fallen in love with stealing treasures since then, and after many years, no one thought that the famous thief in the immortal cultivation world was Yunxiao.

After Yunxiao stole the Rat King's things, he didn't stay any longer, and immediately left the Rat Demon Lair, and the Rat King seemed to realize that his treasure was lost, and went straight to his treasure house while Yunxiao took the sword essence.

He Cuier and the younger generations of the He family, but they didn't expect that when they were still more than 20 miles away from the rat demon's lair, more than 100 rat demons besieged them under the leadership of a rat king.

"Brother Nan, you immediately set up the formation, Yu'er, Cheng'er, you are responsible for answering in the formation!"

Among the younger generations of the He family, He Cui'er is the strongest, and she is also the first to perceive the great enemy, and the He family, as the oldest immortal cultivation family in Yuncheng, is not so useless.

Before the ancestor of the He family became famous, he got three jade talismans containing powerful formations, the ancestor of the He family and the head of the family each brought one, and He Cui'er also took one with her father's consent this time. Fortunately, this time she brought this defensive jade talisman refined by the ancient monk, otherwise she and her younger siblings would have been killed by the rat hair needle issued by the Rat King.

He Cui'er looked at the flying needles that were blocked by the silver shield produced by the jade talisman in her hand, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because these small flying needles were not only numerous, but also surprisingly powerful, and they actually hit the silver shield to the point of collapse.

Fortunately, the Rat King has the ability to attack from a long range and a wide range is just that, otherwise before the shield generated by the jade talisman is restored, He Cui'er and the others would have died I don't know how many times.

"Sister, are you the family's talisman?"

"Yes, Brother Ming, you have to work hard, with your qualifications, you will become the head of the family sooner or later!"

Among the younger generations of the He family, He Ming has the highest qualifications, and he is the best fire spirit root of the earth rank, but at this time, the head of the He family and the old ancestor did not know that He Ming had a rare Yin spirit root, and he was also a middle grade of the heavenly rank.

He Cui'er looked at the second uncle's youngest son lovingly, and when she was talking to this little guy who was only nine years old at the tenth layer of the Yuan Qi Realm, she didn't notice that a red flying needle had entered her body.

When He Cuier felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, she suddenly lost consciousness and fainted to the ground, and at the same time, there were a series of explosions at the location of the rat demon group. The Rat King was attacked in a hurry, and in order to preserve his strength, this guy still did not get rid of the timid characteristics of the Rat Clan, and immediately fled with the Rat Children and Rat Grandchildren.

He Lufu watched her sister faint, not only did she ignore He Cui'er's situation, but she actually snatched the He family's heirloom, the talisman jade talisman, from He Ming's hands.

"Third sister, how can you rob the eldest sister's things?"

He Lufu faced his younger brother He Ming's questioning, but just let out a sneer, Yunxiao, who was hiding in the shadows to help He Cui'er, saw this scene and snorted coldly, wanting to teach He Lufu a lesson, but finally thought about it and dispelled this idea.

After He Cui'er fainted, she felt a hot feeling all over her body, and it was so cold that it seemed to freeze into ice, and soon the juniors of the He family beside her saw that her situation was different.

He Ming looked at his sister for a while, her face was red as if she was on fire, and then she was blue and cold, he was young in the end, and he was so frightened by his sister's vision that he trembled. (To be continued.) )
