Chapter 222 Stealing a House
Gaode’s eyes brightened slightly.
To be honest, he was moved.
And also prepare for action.
If you have to kill the "guardian beast" to get the magic plant, then Gothe will reconsider it carefully.
The problem is that "snow leopards", carnivorous predator-type earth-line creatures, generally do not have the habit of hibernating.
This means that it still needs to carry out hunting activities on a daily basis.
In the snow peaks of Dandong, food in the usual sense is not common.
Therefore, the activity range of this "snow leopard" earth-line creature must be very wide in order to obtain food, and it may not be in the cave for a long time.
“Only one big cat?” Gothe confirmed to Flora.
"Lord Flora is very smart."
It means that she will not make mistakes, let alone count mistakes.
That’s a single leopard. Single leopard is good.
The price of a second-level magic plant can reach upwards of 70 gold, which is equivalent to the value of a first-level spell formula + the corresponding spell potion.
What's more, the second level is just a guess, it may even be a higher level magic plant.
After all, it is not surprising at all to see third- and fourth-order magic plants in an inaccessible Jedi land.
For Gaode, who has always been short of money, this temptation is too great.
When the thought comes together, it can no longer be contained.
“Where is the cave?” Gothe asked.
Flora first pointed out the direction to Gothe, and then lowered her voice.
"Mage, are you going?"
"Yes."
"The big cat is bigger than you!"
"Don't be afraid, we'll wait until it goes out to hunt. Action."
"Good idea!"
The cave is on an extremely steep overhang. Most people will take a detour when they see this overhang.
Looking from the bottom up, it is difficult to find the existence of the cave because the protruding ice blocks the view.
That is, Flora can fly and is very curious, so she can discover it.
Arrived near the cliff, Gaode never came close again.
He believed that if the "snow leopard" who was about to go hunting found him, he would definitely not mind eating grass from the side of the nest.
What we have to do now is wait.
Gaode just found a hidden position, first buried his luggage in the snow, and then buried most of his body in the snow, leaving only half of his head to come out and observe the situation.
From his current perspective, he still can't see the cave, but the "snow leopard" can't escape his sight as long as it goes out.
In such a low temperature environment, only Gaode can bury most of his body in the snow for a long time.
If it had been anyone else, not to mention a long time, it would have turned into ice cubes after a few hours.
What follows is a long wait.
The hunting time of "Snow Leopard" is usually very flexible and not fixed.
To put it more simply, there is generally no so-called planning for this thing. Whenever you are hungry, you go out to hunt.
And when it is hungry depends on the hunting situation of its last meal.
Therefore, there is almost no way to predict its trajectory and time, we can only wait.
I don’t know whether to say good luck or bad luck.
After waiting for almost two hours, when the sky darkened, a vigorous figure appeared in Gothe's sight.
It is more than two meters tall, with a slender and strong body. The whole body is covered with hair as white and flawless as the newly fallen snow. In the dark sky, there is a faint blue light.
Its head is small and round, and its ears are pointed and upright.
The mouth is wide, and the upper and lower jaws have sharp and sharp fangs.
Good luck refers to this "snow leopard" earth-line creature. As soon as it appeared in Gothe's sight, it jumped off the overhanging wall at a speed as fast as lightning, and then ran down the mountain. And go.
There is no doubt that this is hunting at a lower altitude in the middle of the mountain.
It did not find Gaode hiding in the snow, nor did it know that someone was interested in its lair.
Unfortunately, the appearance of this "snow leopard" leyline creature is too extraordinary.
Gaode can determine that its level is far more than just one level simply by looking at its appearance and the speed of its actions.
The higher the level of the earth-line creature, the more powerful the extraordinary abilities it possesses. This means that after "stealing the house", Gothe has a chance of being chased by this powerful earth-line creature, which is extremely risky.
After hesitating for a short while, Gaode made a decision.
This vote must be done!
Is there anything in the world without risk?
With such a great opportunity in front of you, if you are afraid of this or that, it is better to stay at home and wait for death.
The power of the "Snow Leopard" earth-line creature means greater risks, but it also means greater benefits.
This typical hunting creature generally does not have a fixed habitat, and its activity range is constantly adjusted according to the prey situation.
Since it chooses to use the cave as its lair, it only shows that the magic plants in the cave are extremely precious and are also extremely important to the "Snow Leopard", allowing it to change its living habits.
Seeing that the "Snow Leopard" had left the cave for more than ten minutes, and after confirming that it was really going to hunt and would not turn back in a short time, Gaode jumped out of the snowdrift.
"We must seize the time."
He could not predict the time when the "Snow Leopard" would return.
Because even the "snow leopard" itself may not be sure when he can hunt food.
Arriving under the cliff of the cave, Gothe took a deep breath, and a wave of magic power flashed through his hand.
Then, his fingernails became sharp and hard, shining with the luster of magic.
[Cat Claw Technique]!
Using an ice ax is a waste of time. In such a tight time situation, spells are the most reliable.
With the blessing of [Cat Claw Technique], Gothe's hands seemed to have turned into Wolverine's claws, and he could easily penetrate the thick ice wall.
Click! Click!
Without hesitation, Gothe embedded the sharp "claws" deeply into the ice wall. Every time he exerted force, he was accompanied by the splash of ice chips and the crisp sound of breaking.
He used his hands and feet together, with agile and powerful movements, like a civet jumping between cliffs, climbing up the cliff in a rapid and steady manner.
The cold wind whistled slightly, seeming to urge him to speed up his pace.
About thirty seconds later, Gothe held the edge of the wall with his palms, jumped up, and landed firmly on the protruding ice layer.
"Done." Standing on the ice, he panted slightly,
The dark entrance to the cave was right in front of Gothe's eyes at this moment.
Gothe did not dare to waste time, quickened his pace, and entered the cave directly.
"It stinks!" As soon as he entered the cave, a strong smell hit his face, almost suffocating Gaode to death.
This smell, mixed with corruption, blood and the "Snow Leopard"'s own body odor, was as strong as substance and almost enveloped him.
This "snow leopard" looked cold and beautiful on the outside, but the lair turned out to be so smelly. Gothe secretly cursed in his heart, and his tense mind was slightly relieved.
“Where is the magic plant?” He glanced around the dark cave and quickly discovered the location of the magic plant.
One is because the cave itself is not big, and the other is because the magic plant is so eye-catching. No wonder Flora spotted it from a distance.
It was a strange magic plant that glowed with blue fluorescence, like a blue lotus blooming in the dark abyss.
The leaves are slender and sharp, and the edges seem to contain sharp edges. When they sway gently, they seem to be able to cut through the air.
What’s even more strange is that its petals are crystal clear, like gems, each one emitting a faint blue light, reflecting the ice wall of the cave like a dream.
Such a strange magical plant, even if it is hidden in a cave, the light cannot be covered up.
"Mage, it can only grow here. If you take it off, it will become worthless."
Flora had already flapped her little wings and approached the magic plant, sensing the situation of the magic plant.
Gaode frowned when he heard this.
After taking a closer look, I discovered that this magic plant was rooted in an entire layer of ice.
And there is a flowing blue liquid in this ice layer.
Clearly, even more extraordinary are these liquids.
The magic power in Gaode’s hands shows again.
【Cat Claw Technique】.
Then pack it up and take it away with the roots!
But this time the invincible [Cat Claw Technique] was not as effective as it was just now.
The sharp claws touched the ice, as if they were touching a thick layer of metal, making a subtle and crisp collision sound, unable to make an inch.
I couldn’t pick it off. The ice cube was so strange that it couldn’t be cut. I didn’t dare to stay here for a long time. Gao De felt unwilling to do so.
Just when Gothe felt a little desperate and thought that his work was going to be in vain this time, Flora seemed to have discovered Gothe's dilemma, and a clear voice suddenly sounded.
“Mage, chew it!”
“Huh?” Gothe was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then hesitated, and finally chose to believe in Flora and her seemingly absurd character. command.
He bent down, approached the magic plant, pointed at the crystal clear stem of the magic plant, bit it gently with his teeth, and opened his mouth to bite it off.
Then Gothe swallowed the whole "lotus" into his belly without hesitation.
