Chapter 222: Stealing a Home
Gaode's eyes were slightly bright.
To be honest, he was moved.
And also prepare for action.
If you have to kill the "Guardian Beast" to get the magic plant, 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.
Hence, the activity range of this "snow leopard" leyline 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 make mistakes in counting.
That's a single leopard. A single leopard is good.
The price of a second-level magic plant can reach 70 gold or more, 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 that third- and fourth-level magic plants appear in an inaccessible Jedi land.
For Gaode, who has always been short of money, this temptation is too great.
Once the thoughts come together, they can no longer be contained.
“Where is the cave?” Gothe asked.
Flora first pointed out the direction to Gothe, and then lowered her voice.
Let’s wait until it goes out to hunt before we act.”
“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 detect the existence of the cave because of the protruding ice blocking the view.
That means Flora can fly and is very curious, so she can discover it.
When he arrived near the overhanging wall, Gothe never came close again.
He believed that if a "snow leopard" preparing to go hunting found him, it would definitely not mind eating grass from the side of its nest.
What we have to do now is wait.
Gothe 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 couldn't see the cave, but the "snow leopard" couldn't escape his sight as long as he went 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 any other person, let alone a long time, it would have turned into ice cubes after a few hours.
Then 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.
Hence, there is almost no way to predict its trajectory and time, we can only wait.
I don’t know whether I should say good luck or bad luck.
After waiting for almost two hours, when the sky darkened, a vigorous figure appeared in Gothe's sight.
More than two meters tall, with a slender and strong body. The whole body is covered with hair as white and flawless as 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 the "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.
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.
Unlucky, the appearance of this "snow leopard" leyline creature is too extraordinary.
Gothe can determine that its level is far more than one level just by its appearance and the speed of its action.
The higher the level of the leyline creature, the more powerful the extraordinary abilities it possesses.
This means that after "stealing the house", there is a chance that Gaode will be 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 that is without risk?
Such a great opportunity is 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 "Snow Leopard" earth-line creatures means greater risks, but it also means greater benefits.
This type of typical predatory creature generally does not have a fixed habitat, and its range of activities is constantly adjusted according to the prey situation.
Since it chooses a cave as its home base, 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.
After seeing that the "Snow Leopard" had left the cave for more than ten minutes, and confirming that it was really going to hunt and would not turn back in a short time, Gothe 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 is probably not sure when it will be able to hunt food.
Coming to the cliff of the cave, Gothe took a deep breath, and a wave of magic power flashed in 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 this situation of tight time, 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 into the thick ice wall.
Click! Click!
Without hesitation, Gothe embedded the sharp "claws" deeply into the ice wall. Every time he exerted force, there was a splash of ice chips and a crisp cracking sound.
His hands and feet were used together, and his movements were agile and powerful, 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 fishy smell hit his face, almost suffocating Gaode to death.
This smell, mixed with corruption, blood and the "Snow Leopard"'s own body odor, was so strong that it almost enveloped him.
This "Snow Leopard" looked cold and beautiful on the outside, but the lair turned out to be so smelly. Gaode secretly cursed in his heart, and his tense mind was slightly relieved.
"Where's the magic plant?" He glanced around the dim cave and quickly discovered where the magic plant was.
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 magical plant that glowed with blue fluorescent light, 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 is 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 has already flapped her small wings and approached the magic plant, sensing the situation of the magic plant.
Gaode frowned when he heard this.
On closer inspection, I discovered that this magic plant was rooted in an entire layer of ice.
And in this layer of ice, there is actually a flowing blue liquid.
Obviously, what is more extraordinary are these liquids.
The magic power in Gao De's hands shows again.
【Cat Claw Technique】.
Then pack it up and take it away with the roots and soil!
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 can’t pick it off. The ice is so strange that I can’t cut it. I don’t dare to stay here for a long time. I feel unwilling to do so.
Just when Gothe felt a little desperate and thought that his work would be in vain this time, Flora seemed to have discovered Gothe's predicament, 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 Flora and her seemingly absurd command.
He bent down and 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.
Afterwards, Gothe swallowed the whole "lotus" into his belly without hesitation.
