Volume 3 Nine Pattern Golden Pill Chapter 7: Little Mouse Demon (Part 2)
In the valley, there is actually a very ancient palace gate, which is illusory and appears and disappears from time to time.
There was a simple gray light shining above the palace door, and a breath of time flowed through it, making it look extremely extraordinary.
In front of this illusory palace door, stood dozens of human monks in black robes.
Each cultivator held a formation plate in his hand, from which spiritual light continuously shot out and merged into the looming temple door.
Under the influence of these spiritual lights, one can clearly feel that the gray light above the temple door is slowly being worn away, and the entity of the temple door is gradually solidifying.
These cultivators should be the cultivators from the underworld that Lu Qingshan mentioned.
The King of Western Rat pondered secretly, and without further ado, he followed Lu Qingshan's instructions, took out the photo-taking bead, and silently recorded the scene before him.
After a while, the King of Western Rat put away the photo-taking bead, feeling satisfied, and was about to leave.
Just at this time, some movement occurred in the valley, causing the King of the Western Rat to pause.
With its keen perception, just a moment ago, it actually felt that among those black-robed monks, there was suddenly a faint but unusual aura fluctuation that flashed by.
The King of the Western Rat was still not sure whether it was his illusion or a real fluctuation of breath.
But the next moment, the King of Western Rat understood.
Because, coincidentally, the black-robed monk stopped what he was doing, and said something to the monsters lurking in the valley, and then he left the valley just like that.
"There must be something fishy going on!" The King of the Western Rat noticed something was going on, but he hesitated. "Should we go and see what's going on?"
After hesitating for a moment, the King of the West Rat couldn't help but express his curiosity.
"As long as I'm careful, I shouldn't be discovered..." The King of Western Rats comforted himself in his heart and began to act.
It jumped down from the ancient tree where it was hiding, and its body turned into a gray shadow, hanging nervously behind the black-robed monk.
But what the King of Western Rat didn't know was that just after he followed the black-robed monk, the black rat in the valley, which seemed to be resting with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes and stared at the direction where the King of Western Rat left, with its nostrils moving slightly.
"Is this the aura of my rat demon lineage?"
The black rat is a gold-eating rat. The gold-eating rat is good at the art of earth escape. It can devour metal ores and absorb the energy in the ores, and continue to evolve. It is considered an extremely rare rat demon bloodline.
In addition to the ability to devour metal ores, the gold-eating rat also has the ability to detect mineral veins, relying on its innate strong nose and perception of metal minerals.
And just now, at the moment when the King of Western Rat flashed by, it smelled the scent that belonged exclusively to the rat demon lineage.
"This is a forbidden area. How come the breath of a strange rat demon suddenly appeared after repeated investigations by our Demon Spirit Palace and that group of humans?" Black Rat was a little confused, but he did not directly tell others about his discovery. Instead, he found an excuse and followed the faint breath that was about to fade away in the air and went there .
The King of Western Rat followed the black-robed monk for a very long distance, all the way to the back of the valley.
It looked around the empty rock wall in front of it in confusion. There were dense scratches on the rock wall, as if it had been scratched by an instrument.
Apart from that, everything was normal and there was nothing unusual.
"Why is the person gone?"
Because he was worried about being discovered, the King of Western Rat always kept a great distance from the black-robed monk, relying only on his outstanding perception ability to follow far behind.
However, the aura of the black-robed monk disappeared here in a very strange way.
"Eh?" King of the Western Rat scratched his head, "Did you lose me?"
Boom!
At this moment, a dull voice suddenly rang out.
Before the King of the Rat of the West could react, he felt a huge force clamping him down, and then he turned into a gray shadow and quickly merged into a rock nearby, hiding his body.
And in the next moment, ripples suddenly flashed on the ordinary rock wall, and a purple halo slowly spread out.
The King of the Western Rat widened his eyes.
It had seen this scene before and it looked very familiar!
This is exactly the same as the scene when the Void Demon activates his space teleportation ability!
Afterwards, the black-robed monk who had just been lost and dozens of unfamiliar human monks appeared from this purple circle of light.
At the same time, a fierce murderous aura burst out from the purple halo, leaving dozens of shallow marks on the stone wall.
The King of Western Rat could even catch a glimpse of the scene inside the light circle. It was a dark hall with several jade pillars inside. Many ancient demon characters were carved on the jade pillars.
"What's the situation?" The black-robed monk put away the round bead in his hand that was shining with purple light, and the purple halo on the stone wall disappeared.
"We have found the tomb of King Gengjin Tiger, but outside his tomb there are several layers of powerful restrictions blocking it. It will take us some time to break through." One of the purple-robed monks stepped forward and responded.
"Speed up a bit. We can't delay the front for too long. At most we can buy you another half a month to a month. If we delay any longer, the beasts in the Demon Spirit Palace, even if they are brainless, will probably notice that something is wrong." The black-robed monk said sternly.
"The murderous aura emitted by the Gengjin Tiger King is too strong, and it has a huge impact on our souls. We have to leave the tomb every once in a while, otherwise we will lose our minds. This has seriously affected our progress, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long." The purple-robed monk explained.
Looking around, one can find that the eyes of dozens of human cultivators on the field are all scarlet, which is extremely weird!
…
At this time, the King of Western Rats did not have the mind to pay any more attention to these monks from the underworld. Instead, he turned his head back through the rocks with difficulty, trying to see what had captured him.
Just by turning his head, the King of the West Rat was frightened to death.
It turned out to be the black rat demon that I had glimpsed in the valley before!
The rat demon made a gesture to the King of the Western Rat to keep quiet.
The King of Western Rat cooperated wisely.
Time passed slowly, and for the King of Western Rat, every minute and every second was like torture.
Finally, another half a day passed.
When the scarlet color in the eyes of those purple-robed monks completely dissipated and they regained their clarity, the black-robed monk took out the purple spirit bead again, pinched his fingers and cast a spell. A ray of spiritual light suddenly shot out from the purple spirit bead and merged into the stone wall. Then a purple halo slowly spread out.
"Time is running out, you must complete the task as soon as possible!" The black-robed monk said in a very gloomy tone.
"Understood!" The purple-robed monk responded softly, and then they filed in one after another.
When the last person entered the hall in the circle of light, the black-robed monk put away the spirit bead, and his figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared in front of the stone wall.
A moment later.
thump!
Two rat demons squeezed out from the rocks.
Lu Qingshan, I'm afraid that Master Rat will have to die heroically for you. What are you going to use to repay what you owe me?
The King of Western Rat looked at the Black Rat aggrieved and helpless. He didn't understand how he was discovered and was very frightened.
Black Rat's eyes were filled with inexplicable meaning. He looked at the Western Rat King and asked suspiciously, "What kind of rat demon are you? And why do I feel like I've never seen one in the Demon Spirit Mountains before?"
The King of the Western Rat immediately felt relieved.
It was good at observing people's expressions and it could tell from the tone and content of the black rat's questions that the black rat had no bad intentions towards it.
“I’m not sure either…” The Western Rat King’s acting skills burst out, and he said with trembling teeth: “I have never seen you, the Rat King, in the Demon Spirit Mountains before…”
Black Rat pondered for a moment, and seeing that the Western Rat King was trembling, he stretched out his rat claws to rub the red mane on the Western Rat King's head, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, my name is Shu Batian, and I am the strongest rat demon in the rat demon lineage in the Demon Spirit Mountains. Our rat demon lineage has always been weak and at the bottom of the monster beast level, and we really need to support each other. So after I advanced to the third rank, as the strongest of the rat demon lineage, I have been protecting the weak rat demon lineage. Although I don't know what kind of rat demon you are, since you belong to the rat demon lineage, you are also my child. I think you seem to be a bit magical, not like an ordinary thing, so in the future you will stay by my side, and maybe I can cultivate a third-rank monster beast for the rat demon lineage."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak." The King of the Western Rat responded weakly and helplessly, not daring to object.
Shu Batian nodded with satisfaction.
"What are the origins of those humans just now?" The resigned Western Rat King thought for a moment, and immediately pointed to the place where the monks from the underworld had just disappeared, and asked with an innocent look on his face.
Shu Batian's voice suddenly sank, and he said, "You can be considered as this king's lucky star. If I hadn't just smelled your scent and followed you here, I would definitely not have discovered this shocking secret."
