Chapter 155: 82

The three of them looked at each other and continued to ask, “Then did you see where it ran to?”

The mine cave was very large, and it extended in all directions, so it was not easy to find.

Ke Xin was still a little scared. She calmed herself down and pointed to the tunnel, “That thing ate my spirit stones and ran forward.”

The three of them cupped their fists in thanks and immediately chased in the direction Ke Xin pointed.

After Ke Xin saw them leave, she turned around and saw Dong Xi holding a communication jade slip.

“Flaming Frost-skin Rat, a third-rank demon beast,” Dong Xi said. “It’s very picky with its food and eats spirit stones of middle-grade and above. There’s also a pouch in its abdomen that stores food.”

Hearing Dong Xi’s words, Ke Xin was no longer afraid. Her eyes lit up as she said, “Isn’t this a treasure basin?!”

“That’s right,” Dong Xi nodded. “But we can’t catch up to them, let alone defeat it. Don’t even think about it.”

Ke Xin could only sigh softly. She picked up her pick and continued digging. However, she had only dug a few times when she heard movement from the stone wall beside her.

A piece of rock on the stone wall suddenly fell and a head popped out from within. Its eyes were glowing red and Ke Xin instinctively took a few steps back. Her voice trembled as she said, “Sister, Sister! A… A demon beast!”

Dong Xi turned around and discovered that this demon beast’s aura was very similar to the one that had run away just now. It seemed that even this little thing knew to find people who were easy to bully.

The demon beast opened its mouth and revealed its sharp teeth, staring at Dong Xi.

Dong Xi suddenly felt a great sense of danger. She immediately took out her White Jade Sword and assumed a defensive posture.

In the next second, the Flaming Frost-skin Rat charged directly at Dong Xi, so fast that it left an afterimage behind it.

Dong Xi leaned against the stone wall and blocked the demon beast’s attack with an upward slash.

The Flaming Frost-skin Rat’s target was very clear, and it was the jade pendant on Dong Xi’s body. The Flaming Frost-skin Rat’s movements became faster and faster, and Dong Xi was somewhat disorientated.

Dong Xi instantly knew that the Flaming Frost-skin Rat must have smelled the scent of top-grade spirit stones.

After failing several times, the Flaming Frost-skin Rat was a little angry.

The Flaming Frost-skin Rat stopped its attack. The fur on its back stood on end as it threw a fire blade at Dong Xi.

Dong Xi immediately dodged, and the Flaming Frost-skin Rat took advantage of this time to bite again.

Dong Xi instinctively used her sword to block. The Flaming Frost-skin Rat was just about to touch the blade of his sword. Then, Dong Xi heard a ‘crack’.

Her heart trembled. She immediately checked and found that the White Jade Sword had been broken in the middle!

Dong Xi was instantly dumbfounded. As expected, you get what you pay for! After all, he had bought it for eight low-grade spirit stones! How could it be cut off at this time!?

However, what happened next surprised Dong Xi even more. The White Jade Sword broke apart and turned into a Purple Jade Sword.

Dong Xi hurriedly picked up the sword. She was not used to it. It was just that the sword was a little short. A little longer would be fine. An inch longer was an inch stronger. It would always be better.

Just as this thought appeared in Dong Xi’s mind, the Purple Jade Sword in her hand had actually grown by three inches.

This made Dong Xi extremely happy. What a good sword!

Ke Xin, who was watching the battle between Dong Xi and the Flaming Frost-skin Rat, was so shocked that her mouth was wide open. Dong Xi and this rat were moving too quickly. Ke Xin, who wanted to help, could not do anything at all.

Ke Xin had thought that Dong Xi was joking when she said that she wanted to practice swordsmanship, but it seemed that there were indeed benefits to it!

Otherwise, if two alchemists encountered a demon beast, wouldn’t they just be delivering food to the demon beast?

Dong Xi held her sword with both hands. On the surface, she seemed to be evenly matched with the Flaming Frost-skin Rat, but Dong Xi knew that she could not even break through the Flaming Frost-skin Rat.

Now that Dong Xi’s spiritual Qi had been used up, she and Ke Xin would be meat in the demon beast’s mouth.

The Flaming Frost-skin Rat also realized that Dong Xi was difficult to deal with. It immediately retreated, and its pair of red eyes kept rolling. It was very strange in the dark mine.

Dong Xi was on guard. Even such a demon beast had intelligence, let alone a rat that was publicly acknowledged to be smarter!

The Flaming Frost-skin Rat barked at Dong Xi a few times, then scratched the ground with its claws a few times, causing sparks to jump out.

When Dong Xi saw this, she wished he could keep an eye out and listen in all directions. She was on high alert. If she was caught, she would get hurt, right?

However, just as the two sides were about to reach a stalemate, the demon beast actually retreated carefully.

When Ke Xin saw that the demon beast was about to leave, she heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like the little rat was trying to escape.

In the next second, the Flaming Frost-skin Rat’s speed was raised to its maximum, and it charged straight at Ke Xin.

It was too fast. Before Ke Xin could react, the Flaming Frost-skin Rat had already reached her.

The moment the rat moved, Dong Xi threw the Purple Jade Sword.
