Lord of Pets

The next day, at dawn.

A touch of morning glow smashed through the sky, shedding a faint brilliance.

The shadows of beasts and ghosts walking in the darkness disappeared one after another. Under the rising sun, the trees were lush and beautiful, the birds were singing loudly, and the forest was once again full of vitality.

The air was full of moist water vapor, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers and plants. Bai Wushang greedily took a sip, calming down a little bit of anticipation.

He was on his way to the five rat traps that had been placed overnight, ready to inspect 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..."

After flipping the cage twice, it was empty and there was nothing.

Bai Wushang was slightly disappointed. After replacing the fresh cheese flower, he put the cage back again.

The 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 sound in the cage.

Through the fine rattan net, Bai Wushang vaguely saw a gray creature 30 centimeters long, scurrying about in the cage in a panic.

【Name】: Gray mouse (wild)

[Race]: Monster Beast World, Zodiac, Grey Rat

【Life Level】: Early stage of larvae

[Bloodline Quality]: Mortal bone level 2 stars

[Status]: restless

【Wisdom】: Very low

【Characteristics】：Bacteria

[Skill]: Punching, biting

【Gourmet Cell】: 2

"Grey-haired rat... It's a very common rodent extraordinary creature... It's a pity that it is only in the early stage of the larvae, which does not meet the requirements..."

After thinking about it, Bai Wushang's frowning brows stretched out again: "It doesn't matter, at least it shows that the mouse trap method is feasible. Besides, this is also a 2-point gourmet cell. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat..."

Carrying the mouse trap, Bai Wushang found a small stream nearby and drowned the grey-haired mouse.

This is the easiest way to deal with it.

"A total of 4 points, there are still 96 points left, there is still a long way to go... I have to continue to work hard..."

Bai Wushang murmured, and swiftly took off the mouse skin and mouse teeth, both of which were worth five or six gold coins. For him, who was currently shy in his pocket, saving a little was a little.

"There are still three cages, the requirements are not high, just one of them!"

Full of anticipation, Bai Wushang continued to look at the remaining mouse traps.

Cage No. 3 trapped a freckled rat, but unfortunately it was still in the early stage of the larvae, so it was not useful.

The No. 4 rat trap was actually destroyed. Judging from the traces, it was directly torn by sharp claws. It is very likely that it had encountered a late-stage or even peak rodent. The hand-made cage made by Bai Wushang alone could not stop it.

Finally, in the No. 5 rat trap, Bai Wushang discovered the middle stage of the juvenile he was thinking about.

It was a rock rat. It was very small, only about twenty centimeters in size. Its hair was gray and rough.

Its bloodline quality is not low, with a 4-star mortal bone level, which can be regarded as an intermediate level at the level of a juvenile body.

Creatures such as rock rats have strong claws and sharp teeth, and like to dig holes in large rocks to build their nests. For this reason, they often destroy some human buildings and are notorious.

When Bai Wushang saw it, the No. 5 rat trap had already been bitten by a small hole. If he came a step later, he might run away.

Bai Wushang blocked the hole with a hard object and ran to the edge of the stream.

Rock rats are more afraid of water than ordinary rats, and in just two minutes, they lost all their vital signs.

[Successful hunting, gourmet cells +8]

Carrying the complete corpse of the rock rat,

Bai Wushang returned with a reward and returned to the humble cave.

Taking out the same materials and auxiliary equipment from the dimensional backpack, Shiro Wushang is gearing up for the official production of "The Rat of Temptation".

The procedure described in the recipe is very detailed. Bai Wushang first used a dagger to open the rat’s belly, took out the internal organs and washed them, and then put a few pieces of black bamboo leaves with a weight of about 10 grams, and then used the collected silk and bee stings. Simple sewing.

Then there is the crushing of magic grass and fragrant flowers, which is not difficult.

As for the cooking pot, Bai Wushang prepared an iron melon.

It is a ball-shaped fruit with poor taste. It is half a meter in diameter. The outermost peel is close to metal in texture. It can withstand high temperature for a short time. It is a good choice for picnics.

Bai Wushang pulled the iron melon's gigantic melon with force, and immediately revealed a head-sized tear. After drying and washing the pulp inside, he poured about 300 ml of water into it.

The crushed flower and grass powder is mixed with water, stirring constantly, from blue and red until it is completely purple, it only takes three or four minutes.

"Very good, there have been no mistakes so far, and the next step is to cook it slowly!"

Bai Wushang ignited the broken wood fuel, adjusted it a little, and made the flame as small as possible, then put the rat corpse into the pot, and then put the whole iron melon on the fire.

"I also need to inject soul power into the ingredients. This method is somewhat similar to alchemy, but using it on food... is unheard of before. What kind of changes will it produce?"

A trace of apprehension flashed on Bai Wushang's face. If he was asked to cook food for humans, he would naturally have it within his grasp, but it was the first time he was cooking food for an extraordinary creature, so it was inevitable that he would be a little bit cramped.

With the palm of his right hand close to the edge of the pot, Bai Wushang began to slowly release his soul power, and at the same time, he focused on the changes in the pot.

As soon as the soul power left the body, it seemed like a cat smelling fishy, ​​and it automatically melted into the purple-red soup.

And as the flame heated up, the amount of soul power injected became larger and larger, and small bubbles appeared in the pot.

In about five minutes, the iron melon shell turned red, the soup inside was completely boiling, and the purple-red liquid was continuously seeping into the rock rat's body, gradually dyeing the gray-white body red.

After a while, the sense of absorption of soul power suddenly disappeared, and no matter how you urged it, soul power could not enter the pot.

"Have you collected juice?"

Bai Wushang widened his eyes and found that there was no liquid left in the pot, so he hurriedly put out the fire.

Carefully using the bamboo chopsticks to pick out the final product, Bai Wushang saw the body of the rock rat whose appearance had changed drastically.

At this time, its body swelled slightly, and the hair on its whole body turned crimson red. The pair of pupils that should have lost their spirits were also inexplicably dyed dark purple, and the overall look was quite strange.
