Chapter 9 Preparations Before Leaving
The successive movements in the sewer pipes had already alarmed the giant rat knights below, who were originally a little depressed.
Originally, they were still annoyed and secretly hated that they didn't usually train hard, so they were not chosen by Lord Tuka.
Now this good opportunity to show his face in front of the sacrificial lord and in front of his fellow rat people has been missed in vain.
But now, as soon as the strange and intimidating movement appeared, the giant rat knight, who was already in a trance, suddenly made a mess.
Some of the nezumi said that they would go back and report to the sacrifice to the lord, and some of them reprimanded them for forgetting chivalry!
Never give up on any of your comrades who might be saved! Never cower on the battlefield!
Even if the enemy is a real dragon, as knights, they must drive the mounts under them and fire the strongest shot of their lives!
This is chivalry.
Now that Tukasa is gone, these giant rat knights have the feeling that a swarm of rats has no head and no head.
For a while, there was a noisy squeak.
However, these nezumi are still the leaders of the nezumi tribe after all, and no matter which one they are, they are the elite of the tribe, otherwise they will not be able to advance to become giant rat knights.
They quickly set up charters.
Go up first and observe secretly, and if there is any movement of the enemy, then take the opportunity to act.
If it is serious, go back quickly and report it to the priest in the tribe.
Soon, they left two rat riders behind to wait.
The three Rat Riders, led by a nezumi named Terry, carefully entered the sewer pipes that emitted heat and red light.
However, when Terry looked up, he didn't even see the hair of his kind, let alone his companions.
In addition to the orange-red color that reflects the entire arc pipe, there is a rolling heat wave.
The originally tame giant rat under him also began to be restless, moving his pace from time to time.
It could be that there is an unknown danger in the sewer pipe that makes it want to escape, or that the cement slab under its feet is too hot.
After all, giant rats, which live in damp and dark environments all year round, have never experienced such a hot area.
However, with the reassurance of the nezumi, they still did not make a sound.
The three of them walked half a distance from the fire source, and the giant rat below them stopped, and no matter how much they drove, they refused to advance half a minute.
But in this position, you can't see anything.
The leader Terry had no choice but to get off the giant rat, put down his riding gun, and stepped on the hot cement slab.
Terry trotted forward for a moment at the touch of the heat, trying to get ahead and see what was going on.
Then Terry discovers the shocking scene that he will never forget in his life.
The small magma pool was filled with white bones that were floating and sinking, and the magma was bubbling and bubbling.
Terry could tell from the outline of the bones that they were rat-man bones, but where did these bones come from?
Naturally, it was the giant rat rider companion who had just entered the pipe to capture the human cubs.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain the current scene.
Although I couldn't tell how many bones there were in the magma, based on the movement just now, and the fact that there was no news of my companions now, I thought that the whole army was wiped out.
Terry instantly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet and spread throughout his body, cooling even the unbearable hot air down a lot.
Drops of cold sweat oozed from under its forehead, but were quickly dried by the hot air.
"Run, run, tell the priest everything here!"
"All dead, all dead!"
Countless thoughts wandered through Terry's mind, but it still restrained the somewhat curious desire and slowly regressed.
Not daring to make a sound, he hurriedly gestured to the two rat-man companions with the retreat gesture they used during training.
Then he remounted the restless rat, which was already hot, and quickly left the sewer pipe where the seven rat riders were buried.
Only a bone spear that had not yet had time to take away was proof of their visit.
After Terry went down, he felt the dampness and coolness that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he didn't have time to explain to his companions, just said.
"Let's go back to the priest, I'm afraid Tuka-sama has been killed. ”
"Terry, what did you see?"
The rat-man who was traveling with him couldn't wait to blurt out, if it wasn't for the fear of making a noise inside, it would have wanted to ask for it.
"Bones, bones!
There was only horror in Terry's scarlet eyes, as if the horrific scene was still vivid.
"Even the fur and flesh are almost gone, and they are all turned into white bones!"
"This is no longer something we can deal with, let's go and tell the priest!"
Terry emphasized.
When the other rat knights heard this, there was also a hint of panic in their eyes, although they had expected it in their hearts.
But hearing Terry say the end of total destruction, they still can't accept it.
After all, no one can accept it, just now, half of the giant rat knights who were happy and high-spirited to go in and catch the human cubs.
In an instant, everyone was trapped in an unknown sewer pipe.
They don't even know who the culprit is!
Terry and the others didn't have much time to communicate, and now it was imperative to hurry back to the tribe and inform the priest of this matter.
So, in a few moments, the five rat knights quickly moved and disappeared at the end of the sewer corridor.
However, if you look closely, you can still be in the dark.
I saw a pair of scarlet eyes, staring at the entrance of the cave where the fire reflected in the fire.
When they leave, they still remember to leave one person as a covert surveillance, so that they can easily respond.
......
After Gordon and Nina exchanged information inside, Gordon naturally knew that this place could not stay for long.
Although Nina learned from Nina that there were no monsters near this sewer mouth, otherwise she would not have been able to spend several months here in peace.
Maybe the attack of the giant rat knight this time was purely accidental.
But he didn't take it lightly, even though he had just killed a lot of decent monsters with the power of thunder.
But after all, this is Io, a second-order young dragon, and in this sewer, it's really nothing.
It's rare to see anything stronger than it, but it does.
A random lich hidden in the sewers, a high-level wraith, or a kobold sacrifice can easily make him walk around without eating.
What's more, the rat-man tribe that can cultivate so many standard first-order monsters is not a simple existence, and there may be a few second-order or even third-order ratmen in it.
So after he booby-trapped the giant rat knight, he was ready to evacuate.
Otherwise, do you still stay in place and wait for someone to fight as a boss? Maybe only those red dragons, no, white dragons will fearlessly stop in place and wait for the enemy to come to settle accounts!
But before leaving, it needs to repair the environment and try to get it out.
Don't let the latecomers see the traces of the young dragon's activity here.
Gordon thought.
Then, in Nina's shocked look, she heard a thud and burrowed into the magma.
The first step is to start eliminating odors......
