Cleaning up the mess and burning all the rat corpses, there are naturally many people who do such things.
"Master, it's time to eat"
Kitten whispered beside Bai Yang.
"Um"
Bai Yang nodded with a slight frown, and looked "absent-minded" when he ate next.
After eating, he found Lan Shuang and all of them, thought about it and asked:
"Have you ever seen a rat that big before?"
Everyone shook their heads, saying that they had never seen such a big one before.
"Then the question is, why do so many rats gather in this valley, and they haven't left yet, and why have they grown to such a big size?"
Bai Yang's eyes flickered.
"Master, what do you mean...?"
Lan Shuang and others' minds moved, and they looked at Bai Yang and asked thoughtfully.
Baiyang turned around, looked towards the deepest part of Calabash Canyon and said:
"The only explanation that makes sense is that there must be something in the mountain that attracts them and helps them mutate!"
"Mutations?"
Lan Shuang and the others don't understand this word.
"In layman's terms, there is something that can improve their physique and cause them to grow abnormally and against common sense."
Bai Yang explained.
"Brother Bai means that there is some kind of natural treasure in the mountain. The mice ate it and they grew to that point. But they never left. Is it because there is still that kind of thing in the mountain?"
Lan Xin asked.
"The specific reason cannot be determined, but we will know as long as we enter the heart of the mountain and take a look!"
Bai Yang looked at the place deep in the canyon where the group of big rats rushed out before and said with burning eyes.
No one raised objections, everyone wanted to find out the truth.
After arranging things outside, Bai Yang took Lan Shuang Niu Jian and others, as well as Zhao Shi and other one hundred mountain people who were the first to follow Bai Yang to the entrance of the mountain where the big mouse rushed out.
The hole is so big that it can allow such a big white rat to pass through. It's like a tunnel. It's so dark that it's impossible to see what's going on inside.
"Zhao Shi, distribute things to everyone"
At the entrance of the cave, Bai Yang said.
"What's this?"
Lan Shuang and the others took the things Zhao Shi gave them one by one and asked questions.
"The lighting tool you wear on your head, when you press this place, there will be light."
Bai Yang personally demonstrated to them how to use the miner's lamp.
When he knew that there were a lot of rats in the valley, Bai Yang knew that the valley must not be simple. So when he was preparing things, he also prepared some miner's lamps. These things are not expensive and can be bought for dozens of yuan. He bought one. Heap, there’s no shortage of money anyway…
"This is good. It can illuminate even dark places and free up your hands."
After learning how to use the miner's lamp, Lan Shuang and the others were surprised.
"Let's go in and take a look. There shouldn't be any rats in the cave, but you have to light a torch, otherwise something will happen easily."
Bai Yang pointed to the dark mouse hole and said.
You must have a torch when entering the cave. This is to test whether there is air, otherwise you will not know how you died.
The group of people protected Bai Yang in the middle, and Niu Jian took the lead. They advanced cautiously and went deep without encountering any trouble.
Although there are many forks in the cave, there is no need to branch off. Just follow the largest mouse hole. The largest mouse must be the leader of the group of rats. Following the largest mouse hole, you will definitely reach the most important place in the mountain. .
Walking and walking, twisting and turning in the cave, sometimes going down and sometimes up. According to their footsteps, they have walked five or six hundred meters in the cave, but they still have not reached the end.
It is said to be five or six hundred meters, but in fact the straight-line distance is only two to three hundred meters at most. After all, the mouse hole is tortuous.
Ouch ouch…
The little wolf cub that followed suddenly started barking at Bai Yang's feet, pulled Bai Yang's pants with his mouth, and then moved his short legs and ran towards the depths of the dark mouse hole.
"Follow up!"
Bai Yang's eyes lit up and he said.
The group of people quickly followed, turned a few corners, and after walking dozens of meters, they appeared in a huge cave.
When they came here, everyone's eyes widened, including Bai Yang's.
This cave is round in shape and nearly fifty meters high. Under the light of the miner's lamp, the crystal clear stalactites reflect the light, making the entire cave appear in a beautiful hazy light.
“It’s so ingenious that it’s breathtaking”
Bai Yang couldn't help but sigh, even though there are many beautiful underground caves on the earth, there is probably no place like this.
Ouch ouch…
The little wolf cub called out in front. Bai Yang and others looked and found that it was spinning around a stone pillar.
The stone pillar is located in the center of the cave, with a diameter of nearly five meters and a height of 10 to 20 meters. The surrounding area is not slippery, but it is covered with traces of sharp claws, probably left by rats.
Above the stone pillar, there is a crystal clear cone-shaped stalactite hanging upside down from the top of the cave. It is only about one meter away from the stone pillar. Under the light, the cone-shaped stalactite reflects colorful and dreamy light.
Tick tock…
At this moment, the stone stalactite with a tip as thick as a chopstick dropped a drop of milky white liquid and landed on the top of the stone pillar. Although the sound was small, it was heard by Bai Yang and others.
Ouch ouch…
After the drop of milky white liquid fell, the little wolf screamed more urgently. Its short legs scratched on the stone pillar, trying to climb up, but it was too small and could not succeed at all.
"This is earth milk essence. How can there be earth milk essence in this place? No wonder, no wonder there are so many mice gathered here. No wonder that white mouse grew so big. It turns out to be because of earth milk essence."
Lan Shuang looked at the top of the stone pillar and muttered to himself in shock.
"Earth milk essence?"
Bai Yang frowned and asked, he had never heard of such a thing.
Taking a deep breath, Lan Shuang looked at Bai Yang and said:
"Master, yes, I am sure that this must be the essence of earth milk. The earth breeds all things and contains unpredictable vitality. Occasionally, in strange places, the essence gathers and condenses into a liquid. It is the essence of earth milk, which contains surging essence. , it has huge benefits for people, animals, and vegetation.”
"So magical? Tell me, what are the benefits?"
Bai Yang asked with a raised eyebrow.
At first, he just thought that the water droplets on it were ordinary water droplets, but suddenly he thought that this was a fantasy world, and everything could not be inferred by common sense.
"The essence of earth milk can be taken by ordinary people and improve their physical constitution. It can be said to be a rebirth. When warriors take it, it can greatly promote their cultivation. When animals eat it, the benefits are endless. Unfortunately, this kind of natural and earthly treasure is too rare. I I only heard about it occasionally, but I didn’t expect to see it with my own eyes today!”
Lan Shuang sighed.
"Brother Bai, it seems that the shackles that prevent you from practicing martial arts should be broken. Take the essence of earth milk and improve your physique. There is great hope that you can practice martial arts."
Lan Xin looked at Bai Yang and said, with a hint of joy hidden in her words.
Bai Yang was shocked. Faced with such a good thing, they actually thought of themselves first. Needless to say, Zhao Shi and the others swore allegiance to themselves and would not harm themselves. Lan Shuang Niu Jian could understand, after all, they also swore ten 'yuan' They follow their own, but why do Lan Xin Niu Hua Hua and the others do the same
Unable to figure it out, Bai Yang put aside this question, pointed at the stone pillar and said:
"Would any of you go up and see how much earth milk essence there is?"
You can’t go up to Baiyang anyway…
"Master, let me take you up."
Lan Shuang said.
Bai Yang thought for a while and nodded. He also wanted to see this magical thing for the first time.
Then Lan Shuang grabbed Bai Yang's shoulders, jumped up, tapped his toes twice on the stone pillar, and quickly led Bai Yang to the top of the stone pillar.
This place is not small, it is actually about ten square meters, and in the center, there is a small pit the size of a washbasin.
"Everyone who can come up, come up. There are still about ten people standing on top."
Bai Yang said something to the people below and walked towards the center of the stone pillar.
After arriving at the center of the stone pillar, Bai Yang saw that in the small pit, there were only a few drops of milky white liquid at the bottom. It was probably only a few drops. When he got closer and smelled it, there was a faint fragrance, and one whiff made people feel... The pores relax and the mind feels relaxed and happy.
He thought to himself that it was truly a treasure from heaven and earth, so magical.
He was not surprised that there were only such a few. The many mice that died before were not decorations. They must have been eaten by them. Are there good things waiting for you to enjoy
"This is earth milk essence. Can eating it improve your physical condition?"
Bai Yang looked at the few milky white breasts and asked curiously.
Damn it, the hair on this thing looks so similar to that stuff... ugh...
"It must be, young master, I can feel the surging energy contained in it."
Lan Shuang closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Bai Yang turned around, looked at Niu Jian and the others who had just come up and said:
"Excuse me, can someone help me get the little wolf up?"
"I'll go"
Niu Jian scratched his head and said.
"Brother Bai, you don't want to give the precious earth milk essence to the little wolf cub, do you?"
Lan Xin came over and asked with a glare.
"Isn't it possible? Look, the small pit containing the essence of earth milk has probably been licked by mice. Who knows if they have viruses on them. Whether it is me or you, it is best not to try it rashly, in case something goes wrong It’s too late to regret what happened.”
Bai Yang said with an expression as if something was wrong.
"What is a virus?"
Niuhuahua didn't answer the question.
"A thing invisible to the naked eye, very harmful, killing people without blood"
Bai Yang said casually.
Niu Jian, who had returned at this moment, picked up the little wolf cub. After the little guy landed, he impatiently came to the edge of the pit, but he did not eat it immediately. Instead, he watched Bai Yang wagging his tail and howling. .
"Little one, you still know the rules. Eat, just a little bit, and see if you can have any magical changes. Follow the young master and you can enjoy yourself secretly."
Bai Yang knelt down and touched the little wolf cub's head and said.
The little guy rubbed Bai Yang's hand, then lay down and stuck out his little tongue to roll up the bits of ground milk essence into his mouth.
Lan Shuang and the others looked at it with both pain and anticipation, and were extremely confused.
For Bai Yang, no matter how good the thing is, it is not as important as his own safety. Although the earth milk essence is precious, God knows if he will lose his life if he eats it hastily. After all, the physique of the people on earth is different from the people here. Yes, what is good to them may be highly toxic to you!
