<h4>Chapter 567: Stone-Eating Rats</h4>


    The four of them had been digging for a whole day. Although they had dug up some concentrated iron ores, they did not see any more valuable ones. They were a little discouraged. Concentrated iron ore was already easily found outside so it was not worth wasting time on this.


    Yun Chujiu threw the pickaxe on the ground. “Senior brother Feng Ming, is there no way to quickly determine whether there is anything more valuable?”


    Feng Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Unless there is a stone-eating rat. However, stone-eating rats are ancient demonic beasts. It is said to be extinct. It feeds on all kinds of ores and can determine the type of ores in a mine by its sense of smell.”


    Yun Chujiu’s eyes lit up. “This stone-eating rat sounds like a helpful thing! This is an ancient mine. There might really be stone-eating rats alive here! It would be great if we could catch eight or ten of them!”


    The corners of Feng Ming and the other two’s eyes twitched. You must be out of your mind!


    Ten or eight of them?


    Did you think that these stone-eating rats are everywhere?!


    If we could catch even one, it would be enough to cause a stir in the Qingxuan continent, right?!


    If one found stone-eating rats, it would be like owning a treasure trove. As long as the stone-eating rats found a ce that contained precious ores, the owner would be waiting to count the potential money.


    “Junior Sister Jiu, don’t dream about it. Don’t mention ten or eight, even one stone-eating rat is hard toe by. This ancient mine had existed for tens of thousands of years. People whoe to the mine for training have never encountered any. The stone-eating rat must have been extinct for years,” Geng Yi said.


    “Well, let’s not talk about the stone-eating rat first. We have been digging for a whole day, but we haven’t found anything more than iron. Should we change ces tomorrow?” Yun Chujiu asked Feng Ming and the other two.


    The three of them also felt that the possibility of finding precious ore here was not high. They all agreed to leave tomorrow in search of a new mine.


    At night, Feng Ming and the other two were still on duty.


    At midnight, Geng Yi, who was in charge of night duty, found several blue lights in the distance. Geng Yi was stunned at first, then he was so scared that he quickly woke up Feng Ming and the other two. “Wake up! Wake Up! There are mine wolves areing!”


    “Oh my God! There are twenty to thirty of them, right?! Mine wolves are rank five demonic beasts. If there were around only ten of them, we could still fight them. But there are so many of them, we can’t beat them at all! What should we do? Let’s Run!” Shi Xuan said in a low voice.


    Feng Ming disagreed and said, “Run? Where should we run? We can’t ride our swords here, how can we outrun these crazy wolves?!”


    “Why don’t we climb up the mine?” Shi Xuan wanted to p himself after saying that. Mine wolves were different from other demon wolves. They were better at climbing. If they chose to climb up the mine, it would only speed up their inevitable demise!


    “We can’t win this fight, and we can’t run either. What should we do?” Shi Xuan asked anxiously when he saw the wolf pack getting closer and closer.


    “We can only fight them head-on! Junior Sister Little Jiu, when the wolf pack pounces on uster, we will hold them back. You should run quickly.” Feng Ming saw that Yun Chujiu hadn’t said anything and was paralyzed with fear so he quickly instructed her.


    “There are a total of 24 mine wolves. Senior brother Feng Ming is at the fifthyer of the spirit cultivator realm. You deal with six. Geng Yi and senior brother Shi Xuan, you are at the fourthyer of the spirit cultivator realm. The three of you deal with four each. I will deal with the remaining ten. I will help you after killing them.” Yun Chujiu said faintly.


    Feng Ming was so angry that he was amused!


    “Junior Sister Little Jiu, do you realize the situation we’re in?! Do you still have the mood to joke?! Quickly activate the defensive spirit tools on your body. When we take action in a while, run immediately. Run as fast as you can, do you hear me?”
