Fantasy: Immortality starts with absorbing demons

"Wait a minute." Han Yi bent down and picked up a piece of rag.

"Master Han, what's wrong with this?" Qu Qiao asked in a low voice.

He really couldn't see any difference from the other remaining traces. Judging from the style, it was nothing more than some work clothes on the miners.

"..." Han Yi was silent and carefully examined the thing in his hand.

It's not that there is something abnormal on the surface, but somewhere else...

In addition to the fishy smell of blood, there is also a faint flower fragrance on this strip of cloth.

This smell is very light and ordinary people can't detect it at all. Even if they smell it, they will only think it is the smell in the natural environment.

But Han Yi is different. The keen sense of smell brought to him by the "White Lotus Immaculate Body" allowed him to discover this special smell at the first time.

In addition to the long-term experience of continuous contact with poisons and absorption of toxins, he also made him extremely sensitive to various toxic substances.

Thanks to his huge knowledge system of poisons, he quickly discovered that this flower fragrance contains a substance that can confuse the mind and make people have hallucinations.

Moreover, he seemed to have smelled this smell somewhere before...

"Master Han, a body was found here!"

Before Han Yi could remember where he had smelled this special flower fragrance, the disciples of Xuanwu Hall around him soon made a major discovery.

The gang members who were searching for traces found a miner's body that was eaten and looked like a human in another mine tunnel.

A group of people immediately surrounded him.

"This seems to be the manager of the mine." A man concluded based on the remnants of clothes left on his body and many small styles of dress.

"No mistake, he wore a white jade ring on his hand, and I said hello to him today." Someone agreed.

Before he died, Qu Qiao carefully took out a waist badge from the corpse's debris and wiped off the blood stains on it.

"It's the manager of the miners." After confirming his identity, he handed the waist badge to Han Yi.

"Well, can you tell what kind of monster it is?" Han Yi glanced at it casually and continued to ask.

Qu Qiao pondered for a while and said, "Looking at the injuries on his body, he looks like a carnivorous monster with sharp claws and fangs..."

"Ah......!"

Before he could finish, the disciples standing on guard outside screamed.

Han Yi's mind raced and he turned back quickly.

He could only see a black shadow flashing by.

The disciple who screamed also disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

"Chase!" Han Yi shouted, flashed, and chased quickly.

Although he didn't see what kind of monster it was, the floating values ​​on its body were definitely within his ability.

They moved very fast and arrived at the place where the disciple disappeared in a short while.

In the deep mine tunnel, a dark shadow was feasting, stretched and twisted by the mining lamps on both sides, and cast on the wall, accompanied by a sporadic crackling sound, like a terrifying ghost in the netherworld.

It was a giant rat as big as a wild wolf. Its hair was like steel needles, shining coldly. Its skin under the thick fur had a faint metallic luster.

When Han Yi and his group turned the corner, they saw this monster, lying on the chest and abdomen of the poor unfortunate man, biting and chewing.

"Master Han, it's the fierce beast "Iron Eating Rat"!" Qu Qiao immediately identified the monster as soon as he saw it, and showed a look of fear and dread. He was a man with a face full of flesh and a strong and tall body, but he actually showed this expression. This strong contrast made people deeply impressed at a glance.

The fierce beast "Iron Eating Rat" is also a common monster near the mining area. Because it likes to chew metal ores and is good at drilling holes, it is often found near metal veins.

This is also a kind of monster that Jingtianzhuang focuses on in "Common Monsters".

The most important point is that the iron-eating rat is a group of fierce beasts. If one can be found here, it means that there must be other groups of it in other places in the entire mining area.

Qu Qiao suddenly became nervous.

At this time, the "iron-eating beast" had been startled by the footsteps and had stopped eating. It bared its teeth and showed a pair of scarlet beast eyes to look at Han Yi and his group, with cold murderous intent in its eyes.

People who are familiar with the habits of monsters know that it has entered an attack posture.

Han Yi continued to move forward without stopping.

A black shadow flashed again, and the iron-eating rat suddenly pounced on Han Yi. It was not very intelligent, but it instinctively realized that Han Yi was the biggest threat.

Its hair stood up all over its body, shining with metallic light.

Han Yi's mouth curled up slightly. He did not hesitate, threw his right leg back, then turned around and punched out.

"Master Han, Xiao..." Qu Qiao was shocked and quickly issued a warning.

Bang! ! !

A loud bang was heard, and Han Yi stood still.

The whole body of the iron-eating rat was trembling visibly. The sharp hairs fell off, the muscles rippled like water waves, the bones were slightly broken, and a pair of animal eyes suddenly burst out.

The force first tore the outer layer of the iron-eating rat's protection, and then a huge force poured in.

Finally, there was a loud explosion, and a blood mist appeared in the sky. Only a few fragments were left, and they fell from the air into the mine with a clang.

"What are you talking about?" Han Yi turned back to look at Qu Qiao with a blank expression.

"Heart..." Qu Qiao had to take back the last word after he uttered it. His throat rolled and he swallowed his saliva.

He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

Because the iron-eating rats have been devouring metal for many years, their fur and muscles have strong defensive power. The only weakness of their whole body is their eyes. Or burning with fire can also have special effects.

Generally speaking, even if the martial artists who come from the sect to support them face the iron-eating rats, they have to be specially targeted before they dare to clean them up one by one.

There is no one like Han Yi who blasted them with one punch.

"Let's go, pack up and keep going. It seems that the cause of the unrest in the mining area this time is the unrest of the iron-eating rats." Han Yi didn't have time to pay attention to Qu Qiao, and he gave orders one by one in an instant.

The disciples of Xuanwu Hall he brought with him were not as shocked as Qu Qiao at this time, and they began to act one by one.

After all, these disciples had little experience and didn't understand the significance of solving the fierce beast iron-eating rats with one punch.

Qu Qiao also woke up from a dream and added specific details.

Now that we know that it is the iron-eating rats that are causing trouble, we must make targeted preparations based on their weaknesses.

Dozens of disciples were divided into several groups, with flames and swords ready, and explored back to back.

As for Han Yi and Qu Qiao, they were used as support raids.

As they were arranged one after another, the screams of the iron-eating rats before their death suddenly rang out from inside the mine.

Large numbers of iron-eating rats were killed and their bodies were dragged out.

Because iron-eating rats have been gnawing on metal for years, their bodies are extremely dense, and many parts of their bodies can be recycled and reused, which is of great value.

Of course, in this process, it is inevitable that some of the disciples of Xuanwu Hall will suffer casualties. After all, no matter how strong Han Yi is, he can't be all-round.

He can only compensate the families of the casualties afterwards.

And the disciples of Xuanwu Hall have no complaints. Usually they don't work, but concentrate on practicing martial arts, isn't it just to stand up at this moment?

When they chose to be disciples of Xuanwu Hall, they were already prepared for death.

Soon, the entire group of iron-eating rats in the mining area was wiped out.

Although the matter was handled smoothly, Han Yi still had a haze in his heart.

In theory, although the iron-eating rat is classified as a fierce beast, this kind of monster has always liked to build nests and reproduce in groups in metal veins, and their food is basically the ore in the veins.

They are not carnivorous monsters, and they are timid by nature and love darkness. Humans are even less likely to be one of their recipes.

So according to past experience, as long as a vein is discovered and humans develop and mine it, these timid iron-eating rats will often take the initiative to leave and find another vein to build a nest.

In the past, when monsters wanted to hurt people, they were mostly carnivorous and ferocious monsters, and no one had ever found an iron-eating rat.

Moreover, Jingtianzhuang has been mining this vein in Qiyun Mountain for more than ten years. If there are iron-eating rats in the vein, the senior officials who explored the vein should not have been able to find it, unless...

Han Yi frowned and suddenly thought of a possibility.

But it was just a guess, and he felt that the possibility was not very high.

"Master Han, what's next..." Qu Qiao approached Han Yi and asked in a low voice.

He had just counted the injured and the dead, and sorted out the team.

"The injured people go out first, let's continue." Han Yi thought about it and waved his hand.

The most dangerous iron-eating rat beast has been solved, so we still have to go to the source of the outbreak.

"Okay." Qu Qiao nodded and quickly turned around to make arrangements.

After everything was packed up, Han Yi stood up and took the lead.

I heard from the miners outside that it seemed that some miners dug through the iron-eating rat's nest, causing the mine cave to collapse, and then this mining accident occurred.

So, as long as the collapsed mine cave is found, many clues will be found.

After the iron-eating rats were eliminated, the morale of the whole team was greatly boosted. In addition, with the generous reward promised by Han Yi, the team moved much faster than at the beginning.

After a while, they found the suspected target along the mine tunnel.

"Master Han, it should be here." Qu Qiao pointed to a dark mine cave in front.

The area where Han Yi was located was a small artificially excavated square. In front of it was a huge mine cave, and on both sides were deep and narrow mine vein paths. A huge base was hung on the top, and whale oil that was durable and long-lasting was placed inside. The flames kept jumping, dyeing large areas of dark cave walls into light yellow.

On the stone walls on all sides, there were flat and rough surfaces everywhere, as if cement was applied to the uneven rock gaps to prevent the mine cave from collapsing.

The gray pillars faintly emerging in the corners also verified this point well.

However, the entrance and exit of the huge mine in front of him were blocked by heavy rocks, and the top of the cave seemed to be smashed by a huge force and had completely drooped down.

"What is this place? What is it used for?" Han Yi looked at Qu Qiao.
