Lord of Pets
Chapter 24: Catching the rat
The next day, at dawn.
A ray of morning glow cut through the sky, and shed a faint brilliance.
The beast shadows and ghosts walking in the darkness have disappeared. Under the sun, the trees are lush and beautiful, the birds are crying loudly, and the forest is once again full of vitality.
The air is full of moist water vapor, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers and plants, Bai Wuwu takes a greedily sip, calming down a bit of expectation.
He is heading to the five rat traps placed overnight last night, ready to check the harvest one by one.
Soon, Bai Wushang pulled open a dense grass, grabbed a thick rattan rope, and pulled out the No. 1 rat trap that was half buried in the soil.
"This weight...is empty..."
Tumbled the cage twice, it was empty and there was nothing.
Bai Wushang was a little disappointed, and after replacing the fresh cheese flowers, he put the cage back in again.
No. 2 rat trap is under a fruit tree, not very far from here.
"Hey, I caught something!"
As soon as he approached, Bai Wushang heard a strange noise in the cage.
Through the fine vine nets, Bai Wushang vaguely saw a 30-centimeter-long gray creature, rushing around in a panic in the cage.
[Name]: Grey Mouse (wild)
[Race]: Monster Beast Realm·Beast Type·Gray Squirrel Clan
[Life level]: Early stage of juvenile body
[Bloodline quality]: 2 stars of the mortal bone level
[status]: restless
[Wisdom]: Very low
[Features]: Bacteria
[Skills]: hole, bite
【Gourmet Cells】:2
"Gray mouse... is a very ordinary rodent supernatural creature... Unfortunately, only the early larvae do not meet the requirements..."
After another thought, Bai Wushang's frowning brows stretched out again: "It doesn't matter, at least it shows that the mouse trap is feasible. Besides, this is also a two-point gourmet cell. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat..."
holding the mouse trap, Bai Wushang found a small stream nearby and drowned the gray mouse.
This is the most convenient way to deal with it.

"A total of 4 points, 96 points close, a long way to go... I have to continue to work hard..."
Bai Wuhuo murmured, and quickly took off the rat skin and rat teeth. Both of them are worth five or six gold coins. For him who is currently embarrassed, it is a bit to save a little.
"There are three more cages. The requirements are not high, just one of them!"
Full of expectation, Bai Wushang continued to look at the remaining mouse traps.
A freckled rat was trapped in cage 3, but unfortunately it was still in the early stage of larvae, and it was useless.
No. 4 rat trap was actually destroyed. From the traces, it was directly torn by sharp claws. It was very likely that it had encountered late or even peak rodents. The handmade cage made by Bai Wushang could not stop it.
Finally, in the No. 5 rat trap, Bai Wushang discovered the mid-larval stage of his heart.
It was a rock mouse, very small, only twenty centimeters in length, and its hair was gray and rough.
Its bloodline quality is not low, it is 4 stars at the mortal bone level, and at the level of the juvenile body, it can also be regarded as an intermediate level.
Rock squirrels have very strong sharp claws and sharp teeth. They like to make holes and build nests in large rocks. For this reason, they often destroy human buildings and are notoriously infamous.
When Bai Wushang saw it, he had bitten a small hole in the No. 5 rat trap. If he came one step later, he might run away.
Bai Wuhuan blocked the hole with a hard object and ran to the side of the stream, so the technique was repeated into the water.
Rock mice are more afraid of water than ordinary rodents, and they lose all their vital characteristics in just two minutes.
【Successful hunting, gourmet cell +8】
carrying the intact corpse of the rock rat, he returned without injury and returned to the simple cave.
took out the same and the same materials and auxiliary equipment from the Dimensional Backpack, and Bai Wushen geared up his hands, preparing to formally make "The Rat of Temptation".
The process described in the recipe is very detailed. Bai Wushang first used a dagger to break open the mouse's stomach, took out the internal organs and washed it, and then estimated a weight of about 10 grams after putting a few pieces of ink bamboo leaves, using the collected silk and bee stings. Simple stitching.
Next is to smash the magic grass and the scented flower, there is no difficulty.
As for the cooking pot, Bai Wushang prepared an iron melon.
It is a ball-shaped fruit with a poor taste. It is half a meter in diameter and the outermost cortex is close to metal. It can withstand high temperature for a short period of time. It is a good choice for picnics.
Bai Wu hurtlessly pulled down the huge iron gourd's melon, and suddenly a head-sized breach was exposed. After the pulp was cleaned and dry cleaned, he poured in about 300 ml of water.
The crushed flower powder is mixed with water, and constantly stirred, from the blue and red to the complete purple-red, it only takes three to four minutes.
"Very good, so far there have been no mistakes, the next step is to cook slowly!"
White harmlessly ignited the broken wood fuel, adjusted slightly to make the flame burn as small as possible, then put the rat carcasses in the pot, and then put the whole iron melon on the fire.
"I also need to infuse spirit power into the ingredients. This method is similar to alchemy, but when used on food...unheard of before, what kind of changes will it produce?"
A hint of anxiety flashed across his white, non-injured face~lightnovelpub.net~ If he was allowed to cook for humans, he would naturally be caught by hand, but now it is the first time to cook food for an extraordinary creature, and it is inevitable that it will be a little embarrassing.
The palm of his right hand approached the edge of the pot, and Bai Wushang began to slowly release his spirit power, while at the same time paying full attention to observe the changes in the pot.
Just as soon as the soul power was separated, it seemed as if a cat smelling a fishy smell, it automatically melted into the purple-red soup.
And as the flame heats up, the amount of soul power injected becomes larger and larger, and small bubbles appear in the pot.
About five minutes, the iron melon husk turned red, and the soup inside boiled completely, and the purple-red liquid was constantly infiltrating the rock rat body, gradually staining the gray-white flesh red.
After a while, the sense of absorption of soul power suddenly disappeared, no matter how it was urged, the soul power could not enter the pot.
"Is the juice collected?"
Bai Wuhuo widened his eyes and found that there was indeed no liquid remaining in the pot, so he hurried to put out the fire.
carefully picked out the final product with bamboo chopsticks, and Bai Wushang saw the rock rat's body which had greatly changed in appearance.
At this time, it was slightly swollen, and its hair all over its body turned crimson. The pupils that should have lost their brilliance were also inexplicably dyed in dark purple, and the overall look was quite weird.
