Fairy bestows immortality

Chapter 623

He had noticed some clues beforehand, but he trusted Xiangwu, which is why he went into the cave to investigate.

At this point, it would be easy to examine the remaining traces.

He said slowly, "It's very likely an Earth Spirit Rat."

Beneath the soil, there lingered the aura of these kinds of spirit beasts, as well as the pure medicinal essence remaining from the blood magnolia.

Although it was very faint, as someone who was about to become a high-level alchemist, he was able to detect it very keenly.

"So it's an Earth Spirit Rat?"

Xiangwu understood slightly.

Earth Spirit Rats are a type of beast that is naturally extremely sensitive to natural resources and treasures, and can sense them even from a great distance.

Furthermore, these spirit beasts have a habit of collecting medicinal herbs according to their own preferences.

If it doesn't fancy something, even if it's of high quality, it might not collect it. It might just eat it.

However, if it values ​​a particular herb, it will collect even low-grade medicinal materials and keep them in its nest.

Su Yun had never encountered such a spirit beast before, but he had seen it in books because of his alchemy skills. This spirit beast had a lot of dealings with alchemists, as they were all closely related to spiritual herbs.

He straightened up and said, “Follow the trail to its lair and see how many medicinal herbs it has hidden away.”

"Since they dare to play us, let's wipe them all out!"

Xiangwu nodded and said, "Alright, I'll do as my friend Su says."

He rubbed his palms together, becoming somewhat excited.

Then, following behind Su Yun, they continued their journey through the mountains and forests.

Along the way, they discovered several tracks left by the Earth Spirit Rat, which were deliberately left to lure the trackers to other places.

"How cunning! This kind of spirit beast is quite intelligent."

Su Yun sighed, "If it were an ordinary person, it would probably be really difficult to find its lair."

Even Su Yun, after many twists and turns.

It took more than an hour, and as darkness fell, they finally found the lair of the Earth Spirit Rat.

"Is it covered with grass, leading underground?"

Su Yun used his divine sense to observe that there was a deep thicket of grass ahead, and a hole about two or three meters wide leading underground.

The spiritual energy here is not strong, and the earth spirit rats have settled down here, making them difficult to notice.

"Shh!"

Su Yun took out the True King Fan directly.

Having already spent so much of his time, he didn't want to waste any more time with the Earth Spirit Rat.

If this kind of existence can be grasped and used as a resource for finding treasures, it would be excellent.

However, the Earth Spirit Rat is cunning by nature and difficult to tame. There is also the possibility of being stabbed in the back, so Su Yun will not waste his efforts.

Without hesitation, the two jumped straight into the cave.

It fell in the air for about two or three seconds before landing on the ground.

"Squeak!"

Inside the cave, the cries of earth spirit rats suddenly rang out, clearly startled and somewhat flustered.

Su Yun turned his head and saw the faint glow of the spiritual herb flickering in the darkness ahead.

Beside the elixir, a creature about half a meter tall, with yellowish-brown fur and a faint halo, and a pair of bright white, reflective eyes, was staring at them!

His body emanated fluctuations only at the fourth level of the Qi Sea.

However, due to his exceptional skill in earth-based escape techniques and his incredible speed, he easily outmaneuvered Xiang Wu, who was at the fifth level of the Qi Sea realm.

"It really is the Earth Spirit Rat! I've finally found you!"

They understood and sighed.

Upon sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Su Yun and Xiang Wu, the local spirit rats quickly lowered their heads, preparing to use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique) to flee their lair.

It even considered taking its collection of medicinal herbs with it when it left.

"kill!"

Without saying a word, Su Yun unleashed the True King Fan, giving it no chance whatsoever.

"Puch!"

The earth spirit rat's head, which had just been buried in the ground, was instantly severed, cleanly cut off at the neck, from which blood gushed out.

Su Yun's eyes were indifferent as he withdrew the True King Fan.

After working so hard for so long, it was all worth it.

"Amitabha."

Beside him, Xiangwu clasped his hands together and bowed slightly toward the corpse of the Earth Spirit Rat.
