Chapter 472 Treasure Hunting Rat
The little black nose twitched wildly, and it mumbled in a daze, "Master, I think I smell a familiar scent!"
Lu Youyou could also smell it; it was the same smell of insects from before.
It was damp, smelly, and slightly acidic—a truly nauseating odor!
She immediately stopped the car, stuck the fabric onto it as before, and then soaked the fabric in insecticide paste.
After doing all this, Lu Youyou hurriedly got into the car, and the insect eggs on the ground remained motionless.
It's as if they're waiting for the right moment to fully hatch into adult insects.
The little crow chirped and chattered nearby.
"Master, it's too fast! Everything is happening too fast!"
Lu Youyou looked at the sky outside; it was gloomy, as if covered by a gray curtain.
The white and black snowflakes fell softly, gradually piling up on the road.
Her car had been fitted with an ice pick, which could break even the hardest ice, and dealing with snowflakes was a piece of cake.
However, some people were not as lucky as her.
Many people were shouting for help in the public chat.
[Player 34223: Oh my god! There are insect eggs again? I've already used up all the insecticide I stocked up on!]
[An Sheng: You just ran out of insecticide! I was missing a gear when I was making this weapon, so I put an icebreaker in the disintegrator! Now look at it, driving this car is like having springs underneath it, it's so unstable!]
[Quiet Little Bao: Everyone, don't worry. As far as I know, the environment here changes very quickly. Perhaps the insects were moved to a different environment before they even hatched.]
【…】
Although some people tried to comfort others in the public chat, others broke down and couldn't stick to their previous decisions.
They all searched for the way and used the treasure chests to exchange for the insect-killing elixir.
Lu Youyou agreed to all of them.
The treasure chest is broken down into core fragments, which are then used to craft the dungeon core at the crafting table.
After finishing her work at the workbench, she took out all the dungeon cores, placed them on the table, and manually fused them.
The number 14 is displayed in the bottom right corner.
After putting away the dungeon core, Lu Youyou stretched.
Suddenly, it got dark.
It's ten o'clock.
Lu Youyou sat in the driver's seat. While she wasn't sleepy yet, she wanted to drive a little longer, hoping to find a treasure chest if she could.
Three hours later, she became so sleepy that she dozed off.
"Master! Danger!"
A sharp scream shattered her drowsiness. Seeing the large face appear in front of the glass, Lu Youyou instinctively slammed on the brakes.
squeak--
The ice-breaking shovel embedded itself in the monster's body, and the two slid on the ice, spinning several times before coming to a stop.
After regaining her balance, Lu Youyou opened the car door and shot the monster dead.
The monster dropped a treasure chest, which lay quietly on the ice.
Lu Youyou's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her mouth.
She was so sleepy that when she heard the crow's shriek, she felt as if she had just woken up when she opened her eyes.
"Master, are you alright? Why don't you rest for a bit?"
Lu Youyou forced a smile: "I'll take out that treasure chest and then go to sleep."
She got off the car, bundled up tightly, and hurriedly returned with the treasure chest.
When it was opened, there was a hairless mouse inside.
grunt.
The little crow involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Master, it looks delicious."
Lu Youyou reached out to stop it: "Wait a minute."
She stared at the hairless mouse for three seconds, then introduced herself.
【Treasure-Hunting Mouse Pup: Give it a scent, and it will lead you to all nearby items that meet the requirements. Cannot be contracted, only hired.】
Note: Treasure-hunting rats only eat meat. Without meat, their patience decreases, their rage increases, and they eventually escape.
Upon seeing the words in front of her, Lu Youyou was so happy she could jump for joy.
Seeing what lay behind her, she looked dejected.
She can't even get meat to eat herself, so where is she going to feed the treasure-hunting mouse cubs?
"Squeak~"
The cub was wriggling inside the treasure chest, its thin little belly wrinkled, as if it were hungry and searching for something.
We can't let it go hungry!
Lu Youyou had only one thought in her mind.
She tagged all the members in the public chat, hoping to receive some meat.
At this point, very few people will still be able to reply to her.
There were only about ten.
Some of them either watch the spectacle without any meat, while others sell meat at exorbitant prices and make unreasonable demands.
"Squeak squeak!"
The treasure-hunting rat rampaged inside the treasure chest, its entire body sprawling out in a sharp, explosive screech.
Its patience has run out.
Lu Youyou didn't dare to hesitate. She needed the treasure-hunting rat and couldn't let it get away.
With a heavy heart, I agreed to one person's request.
Use 1L of insecticide to exchange for two pounds of meat.
After obtaining the meat, Lu Youyou used her dagger to cut off a piece and threw it into the treasure chest.
The treasure-hunting mouse hadn't even fully opened its eyes when it smelled the aroma and crawled over.
Its tiny mouth opened to its widest extent, and it swallowed the meat in one gulp.
The agitated mouse calmed down.
It lay curled up in the treasure chest, looking like a big cherry.
Lu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she managed to keep the treasure-hunting rat cub for the time being.
I just don't know how much the treasure-hunting rat eats, or how long this pound of meat will last it.
Thinking about this, Lu Youyou became worried.
hum~
The watch vibrated.
She clicked on it without much hope, thinking it would be another sarcastic remark.
No.
[Chengcheng: Sister You, you should remember me, right? I'm Chengcheng from Sister Jiang's guild. I've been traveling all day looking for treasure chests, and I just saw you need meat. How much do you need?]
Upon seeing the question behind her, Lu Youyou's eyes widened.
Does this mean she can name any quantity she wants?
so generous?
[Lu Youyou: How much do you have?]
[Chengcheng: Countless pieces of meat! I used the activation card to activate the advanced animal breeding cages, and now all the cages are working properly.]
[Lu Youyou: Then I'll buy 100 jin of your meat first.]
Chengcheng: No need to buy it. It's just half a pig, a small matter. I'll give you a whole slaughtered pig. Contact me if you need anything else.
hum~
Chengcheng has sent you a gift and has automatically become your friend.
Open the backpack compartment, and the first one contains 239 jin of pork.
The second one contains 10 treasure chests.
To repay her for her selflessness, Lu Youyou gave her 1L of insect-killing elixir.
She didn't have much of the insect-killing elixir left, as it was what she had left over from before.
I gave it to Chengcheng, and now I only have 3L left. I don't know if it will last until the bugs disappear.
I hope the treasure-hunting mouse grows up quickly and gets to work so she can find all the treasure chests within the time limit, synthesize the final dungeon fragment, and then destroy it.
With meat and the treasure-hunting rat, Lu Youyou felt that the road ahead wasn't so difficult after all.
When you relax your mind, you easily get sleepy.
She put the scattered pieces of meat she had collected earlier into the treasure chest and told the treasure-hunting rat to wake up and eat them herself.
Then put the lid on and go to bed.
With something weighing on her mind, Lu Youyou couldn't sleep soundly.
Every now and then I'll suddenly wake up and open the treasure chest to see if the existence of the treasure-hunting rat was just a dream.
I woke up for the last time at five in the morning.
She opened the treasure chest and saw that the treasure-hunting rat had eaten all the meat, and its body occupied half of the chest.
From being a hairless mouse, it became covered in fur and as big as Xiao Hei's head.
"Squeak~"
Upon seeing Lu Youyou, it squeaked excitedly.
Lu Youyou cut off a piece of meat about the same size as it.
I watched with my own eyes how it ate everything up with its big front teeth, and then eagerly clung to the edge of the treasure chest and smiled at me.
Lu Youyou tentatively asked, "Little Mouse, can you take me to the treasure chest like the one you sleep in?"
"Squeak!"
The treasure-hunting mouse stood there, one hand supporting the treasure chest, the other pointing behind it.
Xiao Hei asked in confusion, "Is Xiao Hei an idiot? Why is he telling Master to walk backwards? Isn't it forbidden to walk backwards?"
Lu Youyou frowned as well. The car couldn't keep going backwards; this was a rule she was told as soon as she entered the survival world.
Is it...
Did Wei Tianning exploit this common knowledge and use other methods to make the treasure chest appear on a path that people had already walked on?
