A few days ago, when Chen Nuo was practicing Qigong, he felt that the spiritual light in his body seemed to have reached its limit and could no longer grow. He stayed in seclusion for several days and finally succeeded in breaking through to the fourth level of spiritual light, and his spiritual consciousness became larger than before.
Quite a bit, the aura has grown again.
After completing today's homework, Chen Nuo walked out of the room. He followed his usual routine to check on the condition of the spiritual silkworms.
Nowadays, what the spiritual silkworms eat every day has changed from spiritual rice straw to first-level mid-grade spiritual leaves. For this reason, Chen's father needs to pay two spiritual stones to the Liu family every month.
After all, the Liu family has been operating here for hundreds of years. There are more than a dozen spiritual fruit trees on Guting Mountain, and most of them are first-level mid-grade ones.
Those spiritual fruits may not be enough for the entire Liu family monks to share, but there is no problem in picking some spiritual leaves every month.
With enough spiritual leaves, the spiritual silkworms can spin silk once every seven days, and the amount has increased a lot. After accumulating for more than half a year, the spiritual silk was refined into silk threads by the second sister for later use.
"Third brother, come with me quickly." The second sister, Chen Panpan, ran over in a hurry from outside. As soon as she saw Chen Nuo, she hurriedly pulled him out.
"Second sister, what happened?" Chen Nuo asked quickly as he saw the second sister running and sweating profusely.
"Come with me quickly, I may have discovered a nest of bamboo rats." The second sister did not dare to speak loudly. After calming down, she whispered.
Spiritual Bamboo Rat, this is a good thing. It is now the initiation period for young children. If they eat spirit rat meat, the initiation time can be shortened.
"Let's go over and take a look, don't let others get there first." Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo was even more anxious than the second sister.
"You go to the stone bridge in Tiezhu Mountain first. I asked the eldest sister to wait for you there." As soon as they walked out of the ancient town, the second sister asked Chen Nuo to go there first.
The two of them used light body techniques on themselves respectively, but Chen Nuo had a higher level of cultivation, so he ran much faster and disappeared from the sight of the second sister.
Iron Bamboo Mountain is a barren mountain not far from Liujia Town. There is no spiritual vein on the mountain and there are large forests of Iron Bamboo.
Iron bamboo is extremely hard when mature, and most of the beams and pillars in the ancient town are cut from here.
The best time to pick the bamboo shoots is when they have just sprouted. The bamboo shoots are refreshing, sweet and crispy, and especially delicious.
Chen Nuo likes to eat stir-fried iron bamboo shoots. Every once in a while, the second sister will come with her sisters to pick them.
The second sister is a good player in the Gu family, but she is a crazy person, but she happens to be strong and loves to punish the strong.
In the morning, she led a whole family into Iron Bamboo Mountain. She had the second level of spiritual power and was much stronger than the other sisters. She huffed and chopped down a few iron bamboos, intending to carry them back to build a pavilion.
The bamboo forest was airtight and extremely hot, so she wanted to go to a cold spring not far away to wash her face. So she wanted to take the time to go there while everyone was busy, it was not far away.
But as she walked, she realized something was wrong. Logically speaking, she should have arrived early, but there was no sign of the cold spring at all.
Fortunately, the second sister knew what was wrong with her. She had developed the habit of marking wherever she went since she was a child.
She was about to follow the mark back when she spotted a bamboo rat not far away.
In the past two years, the number of bamboo rats on Tiezhu Mountain has increased, and even the bamboo shoots are hard to find. That bamboo rat looks plump, and the meat must be delicious.
Dried bamboo rat meat and stir-fried bamboo shoots are one of her specialty dishes and are loved by everyone.
Now that she has seen the bamboo rat, the second sister has no intention of letting it go.
In such sultry weather, it might be about to suffer from heat stroke. Anyway, it might not survive, so we can only catch it, kill it, fry it and eat it.
The family has a good meal for lunch.
Just when the second sister was about to take action, the silly bamboo rat didn't notice someone staring at it not far away. Instead, it came closer, and at a glance, its belly was bulging.
This was actually a mother rat carrying a baby bamboo rat, and the second sister also discovered that the mother bamboo rat turned out to be a spiritual bamboo rat.
Pregnant female bamboo rats will not run far, this is hard knowledge that small town residents know.
Its nest must be nearby. And there may be more than one bamboo rat in this nest.
The second sister was overjoyed. She quickly ran back along the mark and asked the eldest sister to wait at the stone bridge not far away while she went back to find helpers.
Chen's father and elder brother often go to the market to do some small business, and Chen Nuo is the only one in the family. Fortunately, Chen Nuo is already in the middle stage of spiritual light, so he should be able to deal with the spiritual bamboo rat.
So, the scene just now occurred.
The journey was not too far. It took Chen Nuo a little more than a quarter of an hour to arrive at Shiqiao. From a distance, he saw the eldest sister waiting anxiously for him.
The eldest daughter is already thirty years old. She hired a hunter when she was fourteen. The two of them gave birth to five children in total. The oldest child is as old as Chen Nuo.
"Third brother, you go along these petals, there are one every hundred meters, there are forty-seven in total." The eldest sister quickly told Chen Nuo about the situation here. She had two children who happened to be enlightened this year.
She wanted to catch this nest of spirit rats more urgently than anyone else.
Chen Nuo nodded and started to follow the signs on the roadside.
Chen Nuo hurried over along the petals, saying that there would be a place about a hundred meters away, but he found that it appeared from fifty meters to one hundred, seventeen or eighty meters away. Fortunately, he had fast feet and a lot of consciousness.
The second sister, Chen Panpan, seems to be more serious about road addiction. Lengquan is only two miles away, so her error must be too big.
Along the way, Chen Nuo didn't waste much time. When she found the 47th petal, there were footprints deliberately stepped on by her second sister.
This is where the second sister discovered the bamboo rat.
Chen Nuo looked around and saw traces of the bamboo rat anywhere. However, he was not in a hurry. The rat's nest was definitely nearby anyway.
Chen Nuo first started searching in a small area, and then slowly expanded it. He didn't dare to move too much, for fear of startling the bamboo rat.
This is also the reason why no one else came to help with the search.
Chen Nuo let go of his consciousness, and everything he saw was dusty and dusty. Not even a single clue could hide from him.
About half an hour later, Chen Nuo finally found a cave that seemed to be theirs.
Trapping is not possible. The bamboo rat is very clever and cannot be deceived, and it is easy to scare the snake away.
Chen Nuo thought for a while and decided that according to the terrain conditions, he could only attack with water.
Bamboo rats are afraid of water. As long as some water is poured into the nest, they will definitely run out.
In order to avoid the usual rain entering the cave, this nest of bamboo rats deliberately placed their nest on a hillside. There are rocks blocking the northwest sides, and a cliff in the south. Only a dozen exits are left in the east.
.
The bamboo rats are very clever, so they know how to avoid some environments that are not favorable to them, but because of this, Chen Nuo found a way to deal with them.
If they dug holes directly into the ground, and the burrows extended in all directions, with hundreds of exits, how would Chen Nuo be able to catch them?
In fact, the bamboo spirit rat is not that smart, it is only first level.
Chen Nuo blocked the other small holes, leaving only two larger ones.
He thought for a moment and placed a vine seed outside each of the blocked holes. These rocks probably couldn't block the bamboo rat's claws.
The second sister finally arrived, and she brought three green gourds filled with water.
Chen Nuo made a gesture, and the second sister started pouring water at the hole where the vine seeds were placed.
The two gourds fell down without any movement.
"Isn't it time to leave?" The second sister made a gesture to Chen Nuo.
"Keep pouring." Chen Nuo responded.
The water in the third gourd was also poured out, but there was still no movement at the entrance of the cave.
The second sister had no choice but to fill the tank with water. She couldn't give up halfway. The first shot had already been fired.
Chen Nuo was guarding the entrance of the cave. He had just felt the rustling sounds in the cave, but they never came out.
Did they sense that I was outside? So they felt it was dangerous and didn't dare to come out.
Therefore, Chen Nuo used the breath-condensing technique and replaced those first-level low-grade vine seeds with ordinary ones.
After a while, the rustling sounds became louder and louder. A bamboo rat ran out from the largest hole, and another bamboo rat ran out again.
These two were ordinary bamboo rats, so Chen Nuo just let them go.
When the third bamboo rat ran out, Chen Nuo knew immediately that it was a spiritual bamboo rat. He quickly activated his long knife, emitting a blade of light and pinning the spiritual bamboo rat directly to the ground.
The bamboo rat could not move and could only squeak.
Unexpectedly, under this squeaking, the rat nest seemed to explode, and they all got out of the holes and fled in all directions.
The bamboo rat is chubby, but it runs very fast.
Chen Nuo couldn't take care of them all, so he could only stare at three or four of them. In addition to waving his sword, he also popped out vine seeds one after another.
He roughly estimated the distance and flicked the seeds on the ground not far ahead. The seeds immediately took root and grew. As soon as they touched the spirit rat, they immediately exploded into vines and bound the opponent.
The battle went on very quickly and was over in an instant. Just when Chen Nuo started to clean up the bamboo rats, a bamboo rat with no visible limbs slowly emerged from the hole.
It was too fat and was squeezed to the end by the spirit rats.
Chen Nuo flicked the seed over and tied it tightly.
When the second sister hurried back, she saw Chen Nuo holding five bamboo rats and waving to her.
