Chapter 4 Snow Mouse

In the night, Ning Lan, wearing a green robe, came out from the east gate of Jiangbei City and ran towards Gutu Mountain thirty miles away.

Gushu Mountain is located thirty miles east of Jiangbei City. The mountains are steep and densely packed with forests, with a large number of spiritual beasts surviving.

Half an hour later, Ning Lan arrived outside Gushu Mountain. He was holding a dark green sword in his hand, which was a sharp weapon borrowed from the third elder Ning Huashan.

Looking at the dark forest ahead, Ning Lan couldn't help feeling nervous. Before this, he had never entered Gutu Mountain, but had heard a lot of rumors about this forest. There are treasures in the mountains, and there are also various dangers.

"Swoosh!"

Without too much hesitation, Ning Lan raised her breath and rushed forward quickly.

In the outer area of ​​Gushu Mountain, there are very few spirit beasts active. Even if there are, they will be killed by warriors or adventurers entering this mountain.

Ning Lan only has the third level of martial arts realm of cultivation. Although he awakens his natal star soul, his vitality is not strong. If he encounters a powerful spirit beast, his situation will be extremely dangerous. Therefore, he will not go too deep into Gushu Mountain this trip.

According to the plan, Ning Lan will move around the area about ten miles into Gushu Mountain. You can find traces of spirit beasts from time to time, and spirit beasts above level four are rarely seen. For him now, it is quite suitable.

The speed of traveling in the mountains is not as fast as that of the plains and wilderness, so it took Ning Lan half an hour to penetrate the seven or eight miles of Gutu Mountain.

"Note that there is a spirit beast in front of you." Qin Xuan's voice sounded in Ning Lan's sea of ​​consciousness.

Ning Lan paused and tightened the jade sword in his hand.

He took his pace and slowly approached forward.

A moment later, he saw a wide-backed stone bear foraging.

The wide-backed stone bear is a third-level spiritual beast and is also a common spiritual beast in Gutzu Mountain. Its characteristics are that it has infinite strength and thick skin and flesh.

The ordinary martial arts third-level martial arts warrior is far from being a match for the broad-backed stone bear. If you want to kill the broad-backed stone bear alone, you usually need to cultivate from the fifth-level to the sixth-level martial arts realm.

Ning Lan licked her lips and her eyes shone.

The value of a wide-backed stone bear can reach one hundred gold coins. For one hundred gold coins, you can buy a spirit stone in Jiangbei City.

In the past seven years, Ning Lan has almost no spiritual stone resources in the Ning family, and only occasionally, the third elder Ning Huashan would give him one or two spirit stones.

"Senior, I'm here." Ning Lan whispered.

"Be careful, you don't have much experience in hunting spirit beasts yet," Qin Xuan reminded.

"I understand." Ning Lan nodded.

After taking a deep breath, he held the Jade Sword in his right hand and rushed towards the wide-backed stone bear a hundred meters away.

"Roar!" The wide-backed stone bear discovered Ning Lan and it roared.

I saw it raise its front paws, stand up, and its scarlet eyes staring at Ning Lan.

"Pay attention to its front paws. Your power is much inferior to it. It is not advisable to fight each other head-on. If you do not use the power of the star soul to kill this spirit beast, you need some skills."

"Concentrate, don't be distracted!"

"Its weakness lies at the neck, and that circle of white hair is its weakness, looking for an opportunity to assassinate."

"Retreat one meter quickly and avoid the frontal slap of the stone bear!" Qin Xuan's voice rang continuously.

She was guiding Ning Lan to fight against the broad-backed stone bear.

This time Ning Lan entered Gushu Mountain, and while hunting spirit beasts for resources, she could also take the opportunity to exercise her combat skills. Spiritual beasts like the wide-backed stone bear, which are not so agile, are suitable for novices like Ning Lan to hone their minds and fight skills.

Under Qin Xuan's guidance, Ning Lan made rapid progress in fighting skills.

After half a cup of tea, Ning Lan finally grindled the third-level spirit beast, wide-backed stone bear, to death. Moreover, he did not use the power of the natal star soul of the sea of ​​consciousness.

After killing the spirit beast, Ning Lan gasped. This battle consumed a lot of his physical strength. The physical body at the third level of martial arts realm still seemed too weak when facing the third-level spirit beast.

It can be said that if it were not for Qin Xuan's advice, Ning Lan would not have been able to kill the broad-backed stone bear. Even if he used the power of the star soul, he might not have been able to succeed.

After resting for a while, Ning Lan started to move again. He clumsily peeled off the fur of the wide-back stone bear with a jasper sword and took away the bear gall. These two things are the most valuable things on the third-level spirit beast, the wide-back stone bear. They are brought back to the city for sale and can get about a hundred gold coins.

Ning Lan felt a little excited when he put the fur and bear gall behind his back. He had just entered Gutu Mountain and earned a full hundred gold coins. If he had been here for a month, how much would it be?

Although only one spirit stone can be bought for one hundred gold coins, it is definitely not a small number for ordinary people. Even ordinary warriors in Jiangbei City, it is not easy to earn one hundred gold coins.

Taking Jiangbei City as an example, the monthly daily expenses of ordinary adults are only about three to five gold coins. One hundred gold coins are enough for a family to spend more than half a year.

"One hundred and eighty meters away on the left, there is a rat spirit beast with a weak aura, and it may be just a first-level spirit beast." Qin Xuan said in Ning Lan's sea of ​​consciousness.

As soon as she finished saying this, a light shone out in Ning Lan's eyes. With the help of Qin Xuan's perception ability, he saw the rat spirit beast that Qin Xuan mentioned.

This is a snow-white and variegated snow rat.

Snow Rat, a first-level spirit beast, poses little threat to warriors. Even the weakest martial arts warriors can calmly face snow rats' attacks.

However, the value of snow rats is ridiculously high.

If an adventurer who enters Gushu Mountain can catch a snow rat, it will be a fortune. Even adventurers above the seventh level of martial arts will be happy to dance with joy.

Snow Rat is worth at least three thousand gold coins.

After confirming that it was the snow rat, Ning Lan's breathing became heavy. A mere first-level spirit beast is worth thirty wide-backed stone bears.

There are three main reasons why the price of snow rats is so high. First, it is very rare and rare, and difficult to find traces. Second, although its attack ability is not strong, its perception of danger is ridiculously high, comparable to that of high-level spirit beasts. Before the warrior approaches, it already feels danger and escapes quickly. Third, it is its own purpose. It is rumored that it is the main material for refining a variety of high-level elixirs.

Moreover, the snow rat's running speed is not inferior to that of the innate realm of human warriors.

Therefore, whether in Jiangbei City or other cities, snow rats are hard to find.

"Senior, that's three thousand gold coins, we can't let it run away. The name of this spirit beast is snowmole." Ning Lan said to Qin Xuan.

"Three thousand gold coins, so expensive?" Qin Xuan also became interested.

"I have seen information about snow rats in some books. It is a group spirit beast, but for some reason, this snow rat is alone." Ning Lan whispered, tiptoed and approached the snow rat carefully.

"Maybe it's not alone?" Qin Xuan said with a chuckling: "Since it's a group spirit beast, there may be its nest nearby. A snow rat has three thousand gold coins, and a snow rat has a nest?"

Ning Lan's eyes widened.

yes!

Snow rats are group spirit beasts and almost never move out of the group. Since a snow rat is found here, it is very likely that a group of them exists.
