Chapter 27: Storm Thunder Hawk
"Well, I'll ask you a question now, and you answer with a nod and a shake of your head. β
Ye Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "The first question, is your master alive or dead?"
The medicine seeker thought about it for a while, and without nodding or shaking his head, he began to spin in circles.
Ye Xuan frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "You don't know?"
Only then did the medicine rat stop spinning in circles and nodded.
"Life and death are uncertain......"
Ye Xuan thought about it, and after a while he continued to ask, "Your master happened on the day of the thundercloud whirlpool. Was it attacked by a strong man who came out of the thundercloud whirlpool?"
The medicine rat shook his head.
"Isn't it?" Ye Xuan felt a little strange and continued to ask, "If something happened to your master, is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?" β
The medicine rat shook his head.
"It's a man-made disaster, and life and death are uncertain...... Do you know where your master is now?"
The medicine rat shook his head.
"You don't even know where your master is, what's the use of pulling me there??" Ye Xuan became more and more confused by the information it conveyed.
"Squeak Squeak......"
The medicine rat squeaked with both front paws, as if trying to convey something important.
Ye Xuan frowned at it and called for a while, and asked, "You bite my pants, where do you want to take me?"
The medicine seeker nodded.
"Is it dangerous?" Ye Xuan asked.
The medicine rat shook his head.
"No danger, what clues did your master leave?" Ye Xuan guessed.
The medicine seeker nodded.
"Oh well. I'll take you to the Yunhai Mountains to have a look. But it's too late today, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Ye Xuan said.
Xiang Ling has been looking at the medicine mouse with curious eyes, and said in surprise: "This little thing can understand people's words, it's amazing!"
"It's magical. Ye Xuan replied casually.
The medicine rat began to roll on the stone table to curry favor with Xiang Ling.
Xiang Ling stretched out his hand to rub its fur and said with a smile: "It's fun, what's its name?"
"I don't know, just pick up one and call it roll. Ye Xuan said casually.
Hearing the new name, the medicine rat rolled in protest.
"Look, you can roll. Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"yes. Xiang Ling rubbed it a few more times, very happy.
The medicine seeker jumped up, squeaked and quarreled with Ye Xuan, determined to get his name back.
So, Ye Xuan and Xiang Ling played a game of guessing names.
"Blackie. β
The medicine rat shook his head.
"Big black. β
Shake oneβs head!
"That's Lao Hei, haha!"
"Squeak!" the medicine seeker squeaked frantically.
After some fierce blind guessing, I finally guessed the name of the medicine mouse, which is called Black Bean.
......
The next day.
Ye Xuan was led by the medicine rat and set off for the Yunhai Mountains.
After a day's journey, I came to Yunbian Town, the closest town to the Yunhai Mountains, in the evening.
Ye Xuan stayed in the only inn in Yunbian Town, prepared to rest for the night, and then entered the Yunhai Mountain Range.
Night.
Ye Xuan operated the red-clawed wolf and the blood-feathered goshawk twin martial spirits, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate, and trying to impact the realm barriers.
It's just that the total amount of spiritual energy absorbed is not enough, and it has not been able to condense stronger true qi.
After finishing his cultivation, Ye Xuan slipped the medicine seeking rat in front of him and said, "After entering the Yunhai Mountain Range tomorrow, dig up the elixir along the way, and dig at least one plant every day." β
The medicine seeker rat was not happy when he heard it, and waved his two front paws to "squeak" to express his opposition.
"There's nothing to talk about, you have to dig up the elixir, the higher the grade, the better. β
"Squeak Squeak......"
"You are a medicine mouse, what is the difference between not digging elixir and salted fish?"
"Squeak Squeak......"
"If you want me to help you save your master, you must assist me in my cultivation, and only if my cultivation is high enough, will I be more sure to save your master. Think about it, isn't this the reason?" Ye Xuan knew with reason, and moved with emotion.
"Squeak Squeak......"
"Alright, stop squeaking. From tomorrow onwards, if you can't dig up the elixir, you will be dried into salted fish. Sleep!" Ye Xuan fell asleep.
The medicine rat squeaked twice, got into the mattress, and fell asleep after a while.
After dawn, Ye Xuan officially entered the Yunhai Mountain Range.
The medicine seeker rat scurried through the mountains and forests on four small short legs, running straight in one direction, and the speed was quite fast.
Ye Xuan jumped onto the treetops, stepped on the branches and jumped forward, following without hurry.
After walking for three hours, Ye Xuan saw that he had gone hundreds of miles deep into the Yunhai Mountain Range, and one of them jumped in front of the medicine seeking rat and said, "What about the elixir that I said?"
The medicine rat stops and sniffs, often around, and then runs in a different direction.
After running for a cup of tea, I came to a cliff.
The medicine rat lies on the edge of the cliff, stretching out its paws and pointing at the bottom of the cliff.
Ye Xuan walked over and looked down at its paws, and saw a plant growing ten zhang below the cliff.
The plant covered the three-zhang-wide mountain wall like a creeper, and more than a dozen vines hung down from the cliff.
At the top of the two longest vines, two cyan fruits grow, exuding a kind of spiritual aura.
"Qingling Fruit!"
Ye Xuan immediately recognized that these two fruits were the "Green Spirit Fruits" recorded in the "Kyushu Spirit Grass Record".
Qingling Fruit is a kind of spiritual fruit, the aura contained in it is very pure, and it can be eaten without refining into an elixir, which is of great help to the cultivation of martial artists, and has the effect of clearing the gods and clarifying the purpose.
Ye Xuan immediately wanted to climb down to pick the green spirit fruit.
But as soon as his footsteps moved, he was dragged by the drug-seeking rat on his trouser leg.
Looking down at it, I saw it reach out again and point to the top of the opposite cliff.
Ye Xuan looked up and could vaguely see a huge bird's nest at the top of the opposite cliff.
"Sure enough, good things are entrenched by demon beasts. β
Ye Xuan observed for a while, only to see the bird's nest, but not the big bird, and he didn't know what kind of demon beast it was.
After thinking for a while, Ye Xuan asked the medicine mouse: "Then what do you do when you usually dig elixir and encounter demon beasts entrenched?"
The medicine rat lay on the ground, quickly plow the ground with its two front paws, and dug a hole in three or two clicks.
"I see, then you dig a hole and drag those two Qingling Fruits back. Ye Xuan said.
The medicine seeker shook his head at first, then ran to a rock, scratched his paw twice, and shook his head again.
Ye Xuan understood at a glance that it could make holes in the mud, but it couldn't make holes in the rocks.
And the Qingling Fruit grows on the hard mountain wall, and there is obviously no way to make a hole to go down.
Ye Xuan hid behind the cliff and observed for a while.
It didn't take long for a large reddish-brown snake to appear on the cliff.
"Blood Rock Demon Python of the Fourth Order of the Qi Martial Rank!" Ye Xuan immediately recognized this demon python, which was recorded in the "Illustrated Chronicle of Ten Thousand Beasts".
The Blood Rock Demon Python climbed down the cliff, hung on the trees growing in the cliff, and crawled towards the Qingling Fruit.
Obviously, the Blood Rock Demon Python's target was the Qingling Fruit.
Such a precious spirit fruit, if it was eaten by this demon python, it would be wasted.
Ye Xuan clenched his sword scabbard and was about to slash this demon python and take the green spirit fruit.
That's when it happened.
An eagle's cry pierced the sky above the clouds, and when I looked up, I saw a black dot swooping down from above the clouds.
In a few breaths, the black dot swooped over the cliff, and it was already clear that it was a big blue bird, and it was a fifth-order demon beast Storm Thunder Eagle.
The Storm Thunder Eagle swooped down like a meteor, extremely fast, and the wind knife with its wings slashed across the rock wall, splitting a deep knife mark, and finally struck the Blood Rock Demon Python with a "bang".
The Blood Rock Demon Python let out a terrible scream and fell from the mountain wall, falling towards the bottomless cliff.
The Storm Thunder Eagle spun in the air, swooped down again, grabbed with both claws, locked the seven inches of the Blood Rock Demon Python, flapped its wings vigorously, and flew back to the eagle's nest at the top of the cliff.
