Chapter 156: The Rat Woman's Cave, Unexpected Gains

Fu Ning pressed his hands on both sides of the stone, exerting a bit of strength. In the next moment, the stone slightly swayed and left the ground.

The giant stone weighed over 800 catties, but it was effortless for Fu Ning now.

In just a few breaths, the stone was already lifted above his head.

The whole process went smoothly without making any noise.

Gao Li, who was beside him, couldn't help but be amazed by Fu Ning's strength and took out the prepared tools.

Among the Five Elements, wood restrains earth.

The rat woman lives in the mud and is good at digging. It must be restrained by the Wood Law Treasure to further capture it.

But using the Law Treasure requires Origin Qi, so Gao Li must set up the formation in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, with the rat woman's perception, it would definitely be able to escape.

After moving the giant stone, a dark cave entrance was revealed below.

The entrance was about the size of a basin, and looking inside, a section of a body lying horizontally at the bottom could be seen.

The body was round and covered with a layer of shell, which had a reddish luster on the surface, appearing very hard.

Gao Li, the senior brother, was overjoyed when he saw this and immediately took out three green wooden stakes from his pocket.

These three stakes were only as thick as a finger and were carved from spirit wood branches. They were engraved with patterns, and when put together, they formed a set of wooden stake formations.

Gao Li's eyes were sharp, and with a flick of his finger, Origin Qi surged into the three green wooden stakes.

In the next moment, the patterns on the stakes lit up, and the originally finger-thick nails instantly became as thick as an arm.

Then, a sharp intent emerged from mid-air and drilled into the ground in an instant.

Crack, crack, crack~

Three sounds merged into one.

The vine patterns on the nails suddenly solidified and connected with each other.

Locking the cave firmly in the middle.

Seeing this, Gao Li was delighted and quickly glanced at the deep part of the cave. The rat woman inside was surprisingly indifferent.

He immediately rejoiced, "Hahaha, junior brother, success! That rat woman hasn't even moved, she's still sleeping soundly."

Hearing this, Fu Ning threw the giant stone aside and also leaned over the cave to take a look. As far as his eyes could see, he indeed saw a round body.

At this moment, it was curled up and motionless.

Seeing this, Fu Ning couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Senior brother, I remember that rat women are naturally sensitive. Why are they sleeping so deeply now?"

Gao Li scanned the "Wood Formation" and confirmed that the formation was complete before smiling, "Now that the Wood Formation is complete, this cave is a dead end.

Perhaps this rat woman knows that it can't escape, so it was scared."

When rat women encounter danger, the first thing they think of is digging and escaping underground. If there is no hope of escape, they will curl up and use their shells to defend against harm.

"Hahaha, that's good. It saves me the trouble."

As he spoke, Origin Qi surged around him, and a Jade Rabbit Origin Spirit appeared in front of him.

This Jade Rabbit Origin Spirit had shiny fur and stood upright, looking very hard. At first glance, it looked a bit like a hedgehog.

Swish, swish, swish~

A bunch of rabbit fur turned into hidden weapons and flew towards the rat woman at the bottom of the cave.

Swoosh, swoosh~

When the rabbit fur needles landed on the rat woman, they were all bounced off by the layers of shell on its body.

Gao Li's eyes brightened, "This shell is not bad!"

But soon, his brows slightly furrowed, and he exclaimed, "Huh?"

"No!"

"The defensive instinct of the injured rabbit's fur needle would not allow it to remain motionless."

With this in mind, Gao Li finally noticed the anomaly in this cave and released the Jade Rabbit Origin Spirit to enter the cave.

Goo goo~

As the Jade Rabbit Origin Spirit let out a cry, Gao Li's expression changed instantly. "What?!"

Without hesitation, he reached his hand into the cave.

In the next moment, he easily caught the rat's body.

But there was no joy on Gao Li's face.

Seeing this, Fu Ning knew something was wrong and looked at the rat in front of him.

It was curled up, the size of a basin, wrapped in a layer of shell, and felt weightless when he touched it.

"This... this is the rat's... molted shell?!"

Fu Ning widened his eyes, full of disbelief.

After a long while, Gao Li sighed, "What a cunning beast, it still managed to escape!"

"It must have intentionally left its molted shell in the cave to confuse us, as I disturbed it during the last capture."

Fu Ning nodded and then glanced at the broken stones nearby. "Hmm, in that case, it should still be nearby."

However, Gao Li withdrew his gaze and shook his head. "Junior brother, it's useless. Rats are naturally cautious. Once they become alert, it's difficult to catch them."

"But fortunately, although it escaped, it left behind a shell, which is a rare artifact refining material."

After saying that, he seemed to think of something and looked up at Fu Ning. "Junior brother, a rat cannot escape its hole. Wherever the rat is, there must be an accompanying essence!"

"I believe the essence that accompanies it is nearby!"

Before he finished speaking, the Jade Rabbit Origin Spirit in the cave made another 'goo goo' sound.

Immediately, the sound of digging came from the cave.

After a moment, the Jade Rabbit Origin Spirit jumped out of the cave.

And in its mouth, it held a fist-sized yellow stone.

This stone was semi-transparent, with a faint yellow mist flowing inside.

"Amber stone!"

Seeing the stone, Gao Li's depression vanished in an instant, replaced by uncontrollable joy.

"Amber stone?!" Fu Ning was stunned for a moment, then also showed ecstatic expression.

Amber stone is one of the 'earth essence', rich in 'Innate Earth Origin Qi'. Even among the earth essences, it is a very rare existence.

The one taken out from the cave is the size of a fist, so it should contain a considerable amount of Innate Earth Origin Qi.

Seeing the 'amber stone', the two who were full of regret just now were now all smiles.

"This trip was not in vain!"

Although they couldn't catch the rat, obtaining a molted shell and an earth essence was already a great harvest.

Gao Li looked at the molted shell and the stone in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then pushed the 'amber stone' towards Fu Ning.

"Junior brother, according to our previous agreement, this 'amber stone' belongs to you, and this 'rat's molted shell' belongs to me!"

Fu Ning quickly waved his hand to refuse. "Senior brother, we didn't catch the rat, so the previous agreement doesn't count. This stone..."

Both the 'rat's molted shell' and the 'amber stone' are very rare, but compared to each other, the 'amber stone' is more precious.

This time, Gao Li provided the clue to the rat and prepared the capture tools, while he only exerted some effort. It would be embarrassing to take the 'amber stone'.

Before he could finish, Gao Li interrupted, "Junior brother, there's no need to decline."

"This 'amber stone' is rightfully yours, and besides, I happen to need this molted shell to refine a Heart Protection Law Treasure."
