Above the mage!

Chapter 222 Stealing a Home
Gao De's eyes lit up slightly.

To be honest, he was moved.

And also ready to act.

If he had to kill the "guardian beast" to obtain the magic plant, Gaode would consider it carefully again.

The problem is that carnivorous predator-type earth creatures like "snow leopards" generally do not have the habit of hibernation.

This means that it still needs to engage in hunting activities on a daily basis.

However, food in the usual sense is not common among the snow-capped peaks of Dandong.

Therefore, the activity range of this "snow leopard" earth vein creature must be very wide in order to obtain food, and it may be away from the cave for a long time.

"There's only one big cat?" Goder confirmed with Flora.

"Lady Flora is very smart."

This means that she will not make a mistake, let alone count wrongly.

That is a single leopard. A single leopard is good.

The selling 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 to see third and fourth level demonic plants appear in such a remote and remote place.

For Gaode, who has always been short of money, this temptation is too great.

Once the thought comes, it can no longer be stopped.

"Where is the cave located?" asked Gode.

Flora first pointed out the direction to Gode and then lowered her voice.

"Master, are you going?"

"Ah."

"The big cat is bigger than you!"

"Don't worry, we'll wait until it goes out hunting before we take action."

"good idea!"

The cave is located on an extremely steep cliff, and most people will take a detour when they see this cliff.

Looking from the bottom up, it is also difficult to find the existence of the cave because of the protruding ice layer blocking the view.

That is to say, Flora can fly and is very curious, so she can discover it.

When they came near the cliff, Gaode did not get any closer.

He believed that if a "snow leopard" preparing to go out hunting discovered him, it would definitely not mind eating some grass near its nest.

What we need to do now is wait.

Gao De simply found a hidden place, buried his luggage in the snow first, and then buried most of his body in the snow, leaving only half of his head out, to observe the situation.

From his current perspective, he still couldn't see the cave, but as long as the "snow leopard" went out, it would not escape his sight.

Only Gao De could bury most of his body in the snow for a long time in such a low temperature environment.

If it were someone else, they would turn into ice after being buried for an hour, let alone a long time.

What follows is a long wait.

The hunting time of the Snow Leopard is usually flexible and not fixed.

To put it simply, this thing generally has no so-called planning. It goes out hunting whenever it is hungry.

When it is hungry depends on how well it hunted its last meal.

Therefore, there is almost no way to predict its movement trajectory and timing, and we can only wait.

I don’t know whether to say it’s good luck or bad luck.

After waiting for almost two hours, when it was getting dark, a nimble figure appeared in Gaode's sight.

It is more than two meters tall, with a slender and agile body, and its body is covered with flawless white hair like newly fallen snow. In the dark sky, it emits a faint blue light.

Its head is small and round, and its ears are pointed and erect.

The mouth is wide, with sharp fangs on both the upper and lower jaws.

Good luck, referring to this "snow leopard" earth vein creature. As soon as it appeared in Gaode's sight, it jumped down from the cliff at lightning speed as if it were walking on flat ground, and then ran down the mountain.

There is no doubt that this is to hunt at a lower altitude mid-mountain.

It did not notice God hiding in the snow, nor did it know that someone had evil intentions towards its nest.

If you're unlucky, the appearance of this "snow leopard" earth creature is too extraordinary.

Just by looking at its appearance and the speed of its actions, Gaode could tell that its level was far more than one level.

The higher the level of the earth vein creature, the stronger its extraordinary ability. This means that after "stealing the house", Gao De has a chance to be caught up by this powerful earth vein creature, which is a huge risk.

After hesitating for a while, Gao De made a decision.

This vote must be done!
Is there anything in the world without risk?

With such a great opportunity in front of you, why are you still afraid of this and that? You might as well stay at home and wait for death.

The strength of the "Snow Leopard" earth vein creatures means greater risks, but it also means greater benefits.

This typical predator generally does not have a fixed habitat, and its range of activities is constantly adjusted according to the prey situation.

Since it chooses the cave as its nest, it can only mean that the magic plants in the cave are extremely precious and extremely important to the "snow leopard", which allows it to change its living habits.

Seeing that the "snow leopard" had been away from the cave for more than ten minutes, and confirming that it was really going hunting and would not return in the short time, Gao De jumped out of the snow pile.

"We must seize the moment."

He couldn't predict when the Snow Leopard would return.

Because even the snow leopard itself may not be sure when it can hunt for food.

Arriving at the cliff of the cave, Gao De took a deep breath, and a wave of magic flashed in his hand.

Then, his fingernails became sharp and hard, shining with magical luster.

【Cat Claw Technique】!
Using an ice pick is a waste of time. In this time-sensitive situation, spells are the most reliable.

With the help of the [Cat Claw Technique], Gode's hands seemed to have turned into Wolverine's claws, and he could easily penetrate into the thick ice wall.

Click! Click!
Without hesitation, Gode dug the sharp "claw" deeply into the ice wall. Every time he exerted force, there was splashing of ice chips and crisp breaking sounds.

He used his hands and feet, his movements were agile and powerful, like a civet cat leaping between cliffs, climbing up the cliff in a quick and steady manner.

The cold wind whistled slightly, as if urging him to quicken his pace.

About thirty seconds later, Gao De supported himself on the edge of the wall with his hands, jumped up, and landed steadily on the protruding ice layer.

"Done." Standing on the ice, he panted slightly.
The pitch-black cave entrance was now right in front of Gode.

Gao De didn't dare to waste time, so he quickened his pace and went straight into the cave.

"It stinks!" As soon as he entered the cave, a strong fishy smell hit him in the face, almost suffocating Gao De to death.

The smell, a mixture of corruption, blood and the Snow Leopard's own body odor, was so strong that it almost enveloped him.

This "snow leopard" looks cool and bright on the outside, but its nest actually smells so bad. Gao De secretly complained in his heart, and his tense mind was slightly relieved.

"Where is the magic plant?" He scanned the dim cave and soon found the magic plant.

One reason is that the cave itself is not big, and the other is that the magic plant is so eye-catching that it is no wonder that Flora spotted it from afar.

It was a strange magical plant that glowed with a faint blue fluorescence, like a blue lotus blooming in the dark abyss.

Its leaves are slender and pointed, and the edges seem to contain sharp edges. When they sway gently, they seem to be able to cut through the air.

What’s even more bizarre is that its petals are crystal clear, like gems, and each petal emits a faint blue light, making the ice walls of the cave look dreamy.

Even if such a strange magical plant is hidden in a cave, its light is difficult to conceal.

"Master, it can only grow here. If you pick it off, it will become worthless."

Flora had flapped her little wings and was approaching the magic plant, sensing its situation.

Gao De frowned when he heard this.

A closer look revealed that this magical plant was rooted in a whole layer of ice.

And in this layer of ice, there is actually flowing blue liquid.

Obviously, what is even more extraordinary is these liquids.

The magic in Goder's hands reappeared.

【Cat Claw Technique】

Then pack it up and take it away with the roots and soil!
But this time, the Cat Claw Technique, which had always been effective, did not work as well as before.

When the sharp claws touched the ice, it was as if they had touched a thick layer of metal, making a slight and crisp collision sound, and it was unable to advance even an inch.

He couldn't pick the ice, and the ice was so strange that he couldn't cut it. He didn't dare to stay here for long. Gao De was unwilling to give up.

Just when Gode was feeling somewhat desperate and thought that all his efforts were in vain, Flora seemed to have discovered Gode's predicament, and a clear voice suddenly rang out.

"Mage, chew it!"

"Huh?" Goder was stunned at first and hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Flora and her seemingly absurd command.

He bent down, approached the magic plant, aimed at the crystal clear stem of the magic plant, gently bit it with his teeth, and opened his mouth to bite it off.

Then, Gaode swallowed the whole "lotus" into his stomach without hesitation.
