The double-eyed rat is a first-level mid-level monster. It looks like an ordinary rat. It is born with divine eyes. Its double pupils can easily see through fog, rivers, trees and other obstacles that block the vision. It has a keen sense of smell and is good at finding elixirs from heaven and earth. It likes to go to places with dense spiritual energy. It is the best helper to find the location of the cave!
"You actually opened spiritual intelligence for it, aren't you afraid that it will have its own ideas and leave you?" Shen Qingxi was very puzzled. Usually monks are reluctant to enlighten spiritual beasts prematurely to avoid raising them carefully. If your spiritual beast is seduced by others and taken away by others, then it is used as a wedding dress for others.
Wang Yuanting shook his head slightly, smiled calmly, and explained: "The weak live in the strong. When the spiritual beast opens its spiritual intelligence, it will naturally become stronger, and it will also have self-judgment. But if I become stronger, it will naturally not easily betray and I will never leave my home to be with others."
Shen Qingxi listened half-heartedly, but Wang Yuanting's words were always correct, but she didn't quite understand the intention of summoning this spiritual beast, so she asked again: "Elder brother, what's the magic of summoning a double-eyed rat?"
Wang Yuanting stroked the black iron fan on his waist with his fingers, and said with a mysterious smile: "Junior sister Qingxi, don't be anxious, let's see how it leads us to find the red fire spider with the most spiritual energy in this cave."
Wang Yuanting recited the mantra silently, and the spirit rat sensed the master's call. He immediately raised his little head, waved the sharp claws on his chest, and tried hard to identify the place where the spiritual energy was the strongest, and finally crawled towards one of the forks in the road.
When Shen Qingxi saw that the spirit rat was cute and cute, with nimble movements and running quite fast, she couldn't help but feel happy and followed it with a bound.
Wang Yuanting smiled fondly, this little girl was always full of life and vitality no matter where she was. Looking at her as bright as the sun every day, I seem to be in the sunshine, driving away the infinite darkness in my heart.
Wang Yuanting didn't have time to think too much, and walked quickly to catch up. The spirit rat reached the end of the forked road. Seeing that there was no way to go, he suddenly changed direction and climbed up the stone wall, stopping at a crack at the top of the cliff. down.
Wang Yuanting knew that there must be a mystery here, and the two of them waited quietly for the spirit rat to dig into the cracks in the rock. Pieces of earth and gravel continued to fall from the cracks. After a while, the spirit rat dug a cave for it to pass through.
The pupil rat chirped excitedly several times at the entrance of the cave. Wang Yuanting recited a mantra to respond to him. After receiving the order, the spirit rat immediately got into the hole and disappeared.
"The entrance to the cave is so high, how are we going to get up there?" Shen Qingxi looked at the entrance of the cave where the spirit rat had come out, and began to worry. It was two people high from the ground, so how was she supposed to get up there?
Wang Yuanting didn't say much, a smile gradually appeared on his lips, he stretched out his arms to wrap around her waist, jumped up with all his strength, and jumped as high as a person.
Then, he stretched out his other arm and struggled to grasp the protruding rocks on the rock wall. After just a little accumulation of energy, Wang Yuanting and Shen Qingxi took off again, jumping directly to the entrance of the hole dug by the spirit rat.
The two of them successfully stepped into the cave entrance. The double-eyed rat had dug out the narrow cave to a height of half a man. I think this was the fastest progress made by the spirit rat.
Wang Yuanting threw out a fire talisman to illuminate the dark cave. He and Shen Qingxi bent their bodies one after another and barely passed through the narrow passage.
Shen Xiaoxi was extremely surprised when she saw this, and said to Wang Yuanting excitedly: "Elder brother, we are becoming more and more like tomb robbers. This narrow secret passage is like being in a robber's cave!"
Wang Yuanting smiled helplessly and shook his head. This was the first time he had heard this statement, and she could only imagine it. The two cultivators made Shen Qingxi think they were tomb robbers, which really made people laugh and cry.
After the two crawled for a while, they saw the double-eyed rat who was still digging hard at the soil. The spiritual beast seemed to be tired, and the digging speed slowed down.
Wang Yuanting looked at the dirty yellow rat in front of him with slight disgust, raised his hand to touch the storage ring on his hand, and wanted to summon another spiritual beast that was good at digging holes, but Shen Qingxi waved his hand to stop him. .
Shen Qingxi pouted her little mouth and complained to Wang Yuanting: "Spiritual beasts have spiritual intelligence. If you summon another spirit beast to dig a hole, wouldn't it be clear that you think it digs slowly!"
Wang Yuanting frowned in confusion. No matter how intelligent it was, it was just a spiritual beast, so there was no need to worry too much. Besides, his spirit rat is not that fragile. Survival of the fittest. If the spirit beast cannot refine multiple skills, it will naturally be eliminated by the fittest. Shen Qingxi, a bodhisattva with a heart worthy of being a person from the Soul-Living Valley, is really not suitable for the world of cultivation. .
Although he thought so, the movements of his hands had already stopped, and he could only squat there, patiently waiting for the fat mouse to dig out the hole.
Shen Qingxi squatted there, watching the little spirit rat digging in the soil, and thought it was very cute. The spirit rat seemed to feel the sight of the two men, and dug harder.
"It looks so hard working..." Seeing how hard it was digging, Shen Qingxi felt soft and stretched out her hand to help.
Wang Yuanting really couldn't stand it. Cultivators raised spiritual beasts just to help them do things. Wherever there was any hard work, that was the meaning of their existence.
"Qingxi, stop messing around and come here!" He hurriedly stopped her, raised his hand and took Shen Qingxi into his arms, locking her in his arms and not letting her leave.
"What are you doing?" Shen Qingxi was startled. If she stayed in Wang Yuanting's arms, it would be better to let her dig in the soil with the spirit rat.
"Be good, sit on my lap and rest for a while, or I will kill that mouse..." Wang Yuanting sneered, but did not say the word "strangle to death".
The double-eyed rat felt the cold aura of its master, and unleashed its unprecedented potential. It quickly dug the hole high and wide, so square that two people could stand side by side.
"Why are you scaring it? I'll just sit there." Shen Qingxi didn't like Wang Yuanting's tone of voice, so she raised her hand and hit Wang Yuanting's arm, and sat on his lap obediently.
She had just been squatting for a long time, and her legs did feel slightly numb, but the close posture between the two made it difficult for her to adapt.
"Look, how well it dug." Wang Yuanting pointed to the secret passage in front with his chin, picked up Shen Qingxi directly by the waist, and strode forward.
Just as Shen Qingxi was about to struggle, Wang Yuanting gently put her down and protected her tightly behind her.
As the two walked through the long secret passage, Shen Qingxi clearly felt Wang Yuanting's nervousness and began to feel uneasy.
Wang Yuanting looked solemn, tightened her jade hand, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Follow me! This place is not simple. I have already sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy in several places. It seems that I want to catch the red fire spider." , it’s time to waste some effort.”
The two of them walked to the end of the dark passage, and finally there was light in the dark cave. The double-eyed rat was huddled in the dark and waiting for them. When Wang Yuanting came over, he immediately got to his feet and kept circling around, "squeaking". Keep shouting.
"What's wrong with it?" Shen Qingxi saw that the spirit rat had overreacted and thought it was injured, so she anxiously wanted to check on it.
Wang Yuanting shook his head slightly, frowned, summoned the double-eyed rat to crawl onto his shoulder, and whispered back: "It's giving a warning."
Shen Qingxi looked at Wang Yuanting in confusion. Wang Yuanting took a deep breath and explained: "The double-eyed rat has a keen sense of smell. It must be those red fire spiders that killed the monks who entered the cave. The smell of blood left behind caused the double-eyed rat to smell. Be alert, it seems that our Red Fire Spirit Spider is getting closer."
Wang Yuanting held Shen Qingxi's hand tightly and held out his magic weapon, the Xuanming Fan, ready to make a move at any time.
The two of them and the mouse slowly came out of the cave. Wang Yuanting was walking at the front. He was relieved when he saw the cave full of spider silk. They finally found the cave of the spirit spider.
Wang Yuanting Yushan took Shen Qingxi down to the bottom of the spider cave. The two looked up and saw that the spider cave could not be seen to the side. There were countless small caves on the cave wall leading to various places. It seemed that they gathered here. The place can also be said to be the place where meals are shared.
"Senior Brother, look at the cave wall on the right..." Shen Qingxi seemed to see something that made her uncomfortable and hid slightly behind Wang Yuanting.
At this time, the double-eyed rat lying on Wang Yuanting's shoulder started to stir again, screaming "Zhi Zhi Zhi", and yellow hair exploded all over its body.
Wang Yuanting raised his eyes and looked at the cave wall on the right, only to see the corpses of more than a dozen monks hanging on the cave wall. Some were bloody and fleshy, and some were covered with bones. At first glance, it was indeed scary.
"I'm here, don't be afraid!" Wang Yuanting spoke to comfort one person and one rat. He silently recited the mental method in his mouth, pinched the magic formula with his hands, and summoned a golden light shield to cover the two people and the rat in it. People with cultivation levels below the Golden Core No beast can get close.
Such a powerful barrier made the double-eyed rat immediately calm down. Shen Qingxi also felt relieved. She happily jumped out from behind Wang Yuanting, stood side by side with him and said: "Elder brother, what should we do next?"
"Simple, just make a magic circle to find demons and wait for it to enter the net." Wang Yuanting said, waving the Xuanming fan in his hand and throwing out several magic circles. Those circles scattered in the air and covered the entire cave wall.
Those magic haloes lay behind the rock wall. The golden light flashed twice and gradually dimmed, quietly waiting for the spellcaster to call.
Wang Yuanting easily stepped into the magic circle and started to disperse in the Spirit Spider Cave while shaking his nether fan. Shen Qingxi had no choice but to follow him in order not to be attacked by the monsters.
Wang Yuanting strolled to the rock wall on the right and looked carefully at the "monks" stuck on the spider webs. Although their faces were completely ruined and unrecognizable, judging from their clothes, most of them were casual cultivators who had not entered the immortal sect. There were several Demon Sect disciples who, judging by their degree of corruption, were killed recently.
"Junior sister Qingxi, look at the corpses at the top, they look like the clothes of the Moying Sect." Wang Yuanting pointed at the "fresh" "monks" with the tip of his fan, asking Shen Qingxi to help him identify them. .
Shen Qingxi had to come closer and cover her mouth and nose with her sleeves to resist the strong rancid smell. She looked intently into the distance and carefully identified the patterns on the monks' clothes, which were the unique eagle claw totem of the Mo Shadow Sect.
Just when Shen Qingxi was about to explain the matter to Wang Yuanting, the double-eyed rat suddenly chirped again and saw four red spiders the size of water tanks hanging upside down on the cave walls on the left and right sides. Come down...
