Lord Of Pets

Chapter 24 Catching Rats (recommendation ticket required)

The next day, at dawn.

A ray of morning glow cut through the sky, shed a faint brilliance.

The beast shadows and ghosts walking in the darkness disappeared. Under the sun, the trees were verdant and the birds crowed loudly, and the forest was once again full of vitality.

The air was full of moist water vapor, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers and plants. Bai Wushang took a greedily sip, calming down the mood of expectation.

He was heading to the five rat traps placed overnight last night, ready to check the harvest one by one.

Soon, Bai Wushang pulled open a dense grass, grabbed a thick rattan rope, and pulled out the rattrap No. 1 half-buried in the soil.

“This weight…is empty…”

The cage was turned upside down twice, and it was empty and there was nothing.

Bai Wushang was a little disappointed, and after replacing the fresh cheese flowers, he put the cage back in again.

The No. 2 rat trap is under a fruit tree, not very far from here.

“Hey, caught something!”

As soon as he approached, Bai Wushang heard a strange noise in the cage.

Through the fine vine net, Bai Wushang vaguely saw a 30-centimeter-long gray creature, rushing around in a panic in the cage.

[Name]: Grey Mouse (wild)

[Race]: Demonic Beasts Realm·Beast Type·Gray Squirrel Race

[Life level]: juvenile early stage

[Bloodline quality]: mortal bone 2 stars

[Status]: restless

[Wisdom]: Very low

【Features】: Bacteria

[Skills]: Punch holes, bite

【Gourmet Cells】: 2

“Gray rat…it’s a very common rat Transcendent creature… Unfortunately, only the larvae are early stage, which doesn’t meet the requirements…”

After thinking about it, Bai Wushang’s frowning brows stretched out again: “It doesn’t matter, at least it shows that the mouse trap is feasible. Besides, this is also a two-point gourmet cell. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat…”

Holding the mouse trap, Bai Wushang found a small stream nearby and drowned the gray mouse.

This is the most convenient way to deal with it.

[Successful hunting, gourmet cell +2]

“A total of 4 points, 96 points short, a long way to go… I have to continue to cheer…”

Bai Wushang murmured, and quickly took off the rat skin and rat teeth. Both of them are worth five or six gold coins. For him who is currently embarrassed, he can save a little.

“There are three more cages. The requirements are not high, just one of them!”

Full of expectation, Bai Wushang continued to look through the remaining mouse traps.

A freckled rat was trapped in cage 3, but unfortunately it was still an early stage juvenile and it was not useful.

The rat trap No. 4 was actually destroyed. From the traces, it was directly torn by sharp claws. It is very likely that it has encountered late stage or even the pinnacle rodents. The hand-made cage made by Bai Wushang cannot stop it.

Finally, in the rat trap No. 5, Bai Wushang found the middle stage of the larva he was thinking of.

It was a rock mouse, very small, only twenty centimeters long, and its hair was gray and rough.

Its bloodline quality is not low, it is 4 stars at the mortal bone level, and at the level of the juvenile body, it can also be regarded as an intermediate level.

Rock squirrels have very strong sharp claws and sharp teeth. They like to dig holes and build nests in large rocks. For this reason, they often destroy human buildings and have a notorious reputation.

When Bai Wushang saw it, it had bitten a small hole in the No. 5 rat trap, and if he came one step later, he might run away.

Bai Wushang blocked the hole with a hard object and rushed to the side of the stream, so he repeated his technique into the water.

Rock squirrels are more afraid of water than ordinary rodents. In just two minutes, they have lost all their vital characteristics.

[Successful hunting, gourmet cell +8]

Carrying the complete corpse of the rock rat, he returned without injury and returned to the simple cave.

Taking out the same and the same materials and auxiliary equipment from the Dimensional Backpack, Bai Wushang is gearing up to make the “Mouse of Temptation” officially.

The process introduced in the recipe is very detailed. Bai Wushang first used a dagger to break open the mouse’s stomach, took out the internal organs and washed it, and then estimated a weight of about 10 grams after putting a few pieces of ink bamboo leaves, using the collected silk and bee stings. Simple stitching.

The next step is to smash the phantom grass and the scented flower without any difficulty.

As for the cooking pot, Bai Wushang prepared an iron melon.

It is a ball-shaped fruit with a poor taste. It is half a meter in diameter and the outermost cortex is close to metal. It can withstand high temperature for a short period of time. It is a good choice for picnics.

Bai Wushang pulled down the huge iron melon piercing, suddenly revealing a head-sized breach. After drying the pulp inside, pour about 300ml of water.

The crushed flower and grass powder is mixed with water, stirring constantly, from the blue and red to the complete purple-red, it only takes three to four minutes.

“Very good, so far there have been no errors, the next step is to cook slowly!”

Bai Wushang ignited the broken wood fuel, adjusted it slightly to make the flame burn as small as possible, then put the rat carcass into the pot, and then put the whole iron melon on the fire.

“I also need to inject soul power into the ingredients. This method is similar to pill refining, but when used on food…unheard of before, what kind of changes will it produce?”

A hint of anxiety flashed across Bai Wushang’s face. If he was asked to cook food for humans, he would naturally catch it with his hands, but it was the first time cooking food for Transcendent creatures, and it would inevitably be a little bit cramped.

The palm of his right hand was close to the edge of the pot, Bai Wushang began to slowly release his spirit power, and at the same time, he was engrossed in observing the changes in the pot.

As soon as the soul power left the body, it seemed to be a cat smelling a fishy smell, and it was automatically merged into the purple-red soup.

And as the flame heats up, the amount of soul power injected becomes larger and larger, and small bubbles also appear in the pot.

In about five minutes, the iron melon husk turned red, and the soup inside was completely boiling, and the purple-red liquid was constantly infiltrating the rock mouse body, gradually staining the gray-white flesh red.

After a while, the sensation of soul power absorption suddenly disappeared, no matter how it was urged, the soul power could not enter the pot.

“Is the juice collected?”

Bai Wushang’s eyes widened, and found that there was indeed no liquid remaining in the pot, so he hurried to put out the fire.

Carefully use the bamboo chopsticks to take out the final product, Bai Wushang saw the rock rat’s body which had greatly changed in appearance.

At this time, it was slightly swollen, and its hair turned into crimson. The pupils that should have lost their glamour were also dyed in dark purple inexplicably, and the overall look was quite weird.
