Chapter 77 Tanuki and Fire
The tiger was running in front, and Ding Ning followed behind with a divine movement talisman on his legs, running all the way to behind a ridge.
Running across the ridge, another scene appears in front of you.
There is a small hill ahead, with a round top, like a big bowl on the top of the mountain. Ding Ning was stunned to see that it was an extinct volcano.
The tiger's goal is a pool of spring water at the foot of the hill. The mist rises and is covered with faint smoke and clouds. It is actually a hot spring.
Ding Ning followed behind and ran to the hot spring.
The tiger circled around the hot spring for a few times, then yelled at the top of the mountain twice, as if provoking something.
After a while, a fiery red shadow appeared on the top of the mountain.
Ding Ning looked up and was shocked. What is this?
It is about one meter five in length and is full of red. It is said that the tiger is not a tiger, or the leopard is not a leopard, but it looks like a big red raccoon cat.
But this raccoon cat is a little too big, and it feels like a leopard.
There were several wounds on his body, which should have been left by the tiger. When the raccoon saw the tiger appear again, he seemed extremely angry and rushed down from the top of the mountain and rushed straight to the tiger.
The tiger was not showing any weakness and roared to meet him. The two beasts met on the mountainside and soon fought together.
The tiger is fierce, the raccoon cat is light, all with fangs and claws, and roars. The tiger has an advantage in body shape and the raccoon cat has an advantage in flexibility, but Ding Ning feels that the tiger is now in good condition and has an advantage in good condition.
Ding Ning did not intend to help the raccoon cat, but looked at it with his eyes shining. The raccoon cat was obviously a mutant beast nourished by spiritual energy, otherwise it would not have grown to be so big.
Refining the spirit-gathering pill also requires a medicine to attract the efforts of the beast, so it should be up to this raccoon cat.
But Ding Ning, the fiery red cat, had never heard of it, and he didn't know what kind of mutation it had produced, turning it into this color.
The battle lasted for about five minutes. After paying the price of multiple minor injuries, the tiger finally bit the neck of the raccoon cat.
The raccoon cat let out a shrill howl, waved its paws, licking the tiger's face with multiple bloody mouths. The forced tiger had to give up temporarily, and the raccoon cat escaped.
But the cat has already had no oil in its lamp and its body has not healed, and has not received good cultivation. Now that he has suffered heavy damage on his neck again, he has not lived for a long time.
I struggled to run to the top of the mountain, as if there was something extremely important there.
Ding Ning's heart moved and immediately ran to the top of the mountain.
When I arrived at a cave, the tiger roared at the entrance of the cave and did not dare to enter easily.
Looking at the blood at the entrance of the cave, Ding Ning knew that the raccoon cat was afraid it would not work.
The temperature inside the cave seemed to be very high, and a wave of heat surged out.
"Is there still magma in this extinct volcano? Why is the temperature here so high?"
The tiger didn't dare to go in, so Ding Ning slowly walked into the cave with a spring character.
The hole was not deep, Ding Ning took a few steps and saw the raccoon cat lying on the ground with blood all over his body.
In front of the cat, a small red shadow rubbed beside it. The cat's eyes were dull and gently touched it with its tongue on the dying edge.
That was the child of the raccoon cat, a young raccoon cat with a fur that was as beautiful as fire.
At this moment, Ding Ning understood a lot of things.
This raccoon cat is a female, and the bone I saw at the beginning should be that male. The male raccoon cat was killed by a tiger. The female raccoon cat became pregnant and gave birth to a little raccoon cat here, but the tiger wanted to take the raccoon cat's family into a row.
I don't know how many little raccoons it gave birth to, but there was only one cub here.
If you don't come by yourself, this litter of raccoons may sooner or later be a tiger's belly.
As for the fur of the raccoon, it should be caused by the nourishment of the spiritual energy in the volcano. The cave is abundant and is close to the volcano. They live here and have mutated over time.
The female raccoon cat's eyes dimmed, and finally closed its eyes and died. The little raccoon cat still arched its mother with its head in vain, hoping that it could wake up.
Ding Ning sighed. Although he would not feel sad about spring and autumn because of this, he also felt that this little guy lost his parents early and felt that it was very pitiful.
Since he was here, the dead raccoon cat could not be eaten by the tiger. Ding Ning first put the little raccoon aside, and then quickly took out the blood in his heart from the dead raccoon cat.
The bottle that had been prepared had been filled with half a bottle. Ding Ning put away the bottle and then picked up the little raccoon cat.
The energy of heaven and earth was released from his body. The little raccoon, who was still a little restless, closed his eyes comfortably and let Ding Ning hold it in his arms.
"This raccoon cat should be called Huoqi. It has a spiritual energy and is slightly human. When you go back, you can keep it well and you can also be considered a playmate."
The purpose of this trip was completed. The beast had already obtained the effort and got a little raccoon cat. It is said that Ding Ning should have gone back.
But Ding Ning didn't plan to leave, he checked in the cave.
The volcano here is an extinct volcano, and there is basically no possibility of eruption. However, the cave is so hot and the fire is rich. However, because it is on the top of the mountain, it is basically impossible to get close to the magma layer. So where did this heat come from?
Could it be...
Ding Ning knocked around and found that the stones in a cave were particularly hot.
"It's here!"
Ding Ning was overjoyed, took out a thunder and lightning jade ball, and blasted it down at the stone!
With a thunderbolt in the cave, the little raccoon cat was so scared that his hair stood up all over his body. The tiger outside who was sneaking in and wanted to come in was so scared that he turned around and ran away.
The stone cracked a gap. Ding Ning waved his hand and a ray of heaven and earth energy released, hitting the stone hard, finally breaking the stone.
A thick wave of heat rose from under the broken stone, and Ding Ning's hair became burnt in an instant. He hurriedly took a step back, feeling ecstatic!
"That's great! It's indeed a free earth-center fire vein. No wonder there is both spiritual energy and so hot here. As long as I can absorb firepower smoothly, I have the flame of refining the weapon and can refine my own magic weapon! Even if I refine the alchemy, I don't have to use the mortal fire as a result."
If you get the beast's heart, the materials for the Spirit Gathering Pill are less than those of Bixin Liu. I guess you can get it when you go back, but flame has always been a problem.
Ordinary fire alchemy is barely powerful, but if you refine weapons, you won’t be able to do it.
Earth-center fire is the best flame that can be found under normal natural conditions. As long as Ding Ning masters this flame, he will be invincible after he returns.
Of course, forcibly absorbing earth fire with his strength of the second level of Qi-induced energy is tantamount to seeking death, and it also requires other means.
The best way is to guide the power of earth fire into the container, and then take it back and slowly absorb it with the heaven and earth vital energy.
However, this kind of container is difficult to find. At least ordinary bottles cannot accommodate the power of ground fire and require high-temperature resistant materials.
As far as Ding Ning knows, ordinary high-temperature resistant materials are stone, and among stones, quartz stone and pebbles are the most resistant to high-temperature.
Especially pebbles, with melting point of 1800 degrees, which is more resistant to high temperatures than quartz stone.
There are many pebbles in the lake over there. Ding Ning can use local materials to carve the pebbles into hollows with a jade-carved knife. After all, the larger the containers required for these earth fires, the better, the smaller the more convenient it is to carry. Just get more.
Ding Ning was about to leave the cave when the fiery red little raccoon cat rushed to his shoulder and refused to leave Ding Ning's side.
This is the charm of monks, which makes animals feel close.
The little raccoon cat is now a little bigger than an ordinary kitten, with bright eyes and clinging to Ding Ning's shoulders, and Ding Ning is a little scared when he looks at the sharp claws. This is simply a knife.
However, the kitten looks amazing. If it is taken out and sold to girls as pets, it will definitely be very popular. However, when it is small, this thing is a little bigger, but if it can fight with a tiger, killing people is similar to killing chickens.
After leaving the cave and returning to the edge of the lake, Ding Ning didn't see the tiger and didn't know where he ran.
Putting the kitten down, Ding Ning started collecting pebbles on the edge of the lake.
Select larger pebbles and Ding Ning penetrated the inside. The heaven and earth energy and the carving knife were very fast. After being hollowed out, it was solidified into a lid with stone powder, forming small stone pots.
This work is easy, but even monks are very troublesome. Ding Ning estimated that the number of stone pots needed was quite large, so this time, night fell again.
With the help of the moonlight carving by the lake, when you are tired, you look up at the bright moon and stars in the sky.
I don’t know if Li Shuangqin and the others have hunted tigers. Ding Ning didn’t want these people to really hunt tigers. If they meet again, they should be advised to give up.
After carving more than ten stone pots, when Ding Ning looked up at the sky again, he suddenly saw a light moving in the sky!
airplane!
This is the earth. The light moving in the night sky will definitely not be a sword immortal, but can only be an airplane. Moreover, the height of the light is very low, it is a helicopter!
Ding Ning's heart suddenly had an alarm. In the middle of the night, someone took a helicopter to this mountainous area. There was no doubt that he was coming to him, and he was the accomplice of the killer!
He quickly put away the carved stone pot and waved his hand to the little raccoon. The little raccoon was very spiritual. Feeling Ding Ning's intention to leave, he rushed to Ding Ning's shoulder.
Ding Ning quickly rushed into the jungle in the distance and hid his figure.
A small helicopter hovered in the sky and chose the open area by the lake to stop.
The propeller brought huge winds, and the waves on the lake were rolling.
Ding Ning hid in the distant forest, staring at the helicopter with the help of the moonlight, feeling murderous intent in his heart!
