Chapter 71

"There are only two princes in the king, one is the second prince you just brought back, and the other is the eldest prince. According to common sense, the throne should have been inherited by the eldest prince, but he himself is not angry, and he is inferior to the second prince in terms of governing the country and scientific and technological development. But the eldest prince has full wings, which is why both sides are trying to get rid of their opponents now!"

Hearing this, Mo Cai understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, it seems that the group of rat men chasing and killing just now should be the order of the eldest prince, no wonder this rat man is so generous.

Mo then sent the innkeeper away, thinking that the money was well spent, and that this information could be put to good use in the future.

But this will still let the second prince recuperate well, and it is more important to complete the mercenary task in hand first.

"What did you just talk to the big rat about for a long time?" Eugene began to ask as soon as he entered the swamp.

"I'll tell you about this when we get back, so let's focus on the task for now!"

Eugene didn't ask much when he heard this, and continued to familiarize himself with the swamp environment after Mo.

After half a day of exploration, everyone's walking speed in the swamp has also improved a lot, and it seems that everyone's environmental adaptability is not bad.

And in the process, some common herbs were obtained, which is also a large amount.

It was not until late afternoon that the group returned to the hotel. Mo first looked at the state of the injured second prince, and saw that he was still lying on the bed asleep, and it seemed that he should have been exhausted in the past few days.

Mo then walked around and asked if the residents had ever seen the Blood Clotting Frog in and out.

However, most of them said that they had not seen it, except that the innkeeper provided some slightly useful information.

The innkeeper told Mo that he had also mentioned it from a chat with a mercenary team in the past.

That time, because the mercenary team also lost a team member, so I remember it more clearly, and it is said that the gang encountered this rare creature in the South Swamp before.

One of the team members stepped forward to arrest out of curiosity, but he didn't expect that the big toad actually had a mouthful of sharp teeth, and bit off the finger of the team member when he opened his mouth, and then unfortunately died of poisoning.

I haven't heard anyone else mention the sighting of the Blood Clotted Frog.

Mo then led the group towards the South Swamp, and at this time it was close to sunset, and Xiao Ye gave Lynn the capture tools, because only Lynn was the most agile in the mercenary team.

Traveled all the way until the night, when various nocturnal demonic beasts appeared in the swamp one after another, and Mo asked everyone to light torches.

To everyone's surprise, these nocturnal creatures are very aggressive, and even some creatures that are relatively peaceful during the day are active at this time.

Not long after, a very hidden stabbing crocodile almost bit Mu Xin's leg, and Mo had to put her in the middle of the group to keep her safe.

And other kinds of bloodsucking insects and poisonous snakes bloom everywhere, and there are countless that cannot be prevented.

Fortunately, Mu Xin in the team was dealing with these toxins for everyone in time, but he never saw the shadow of the blood clotting frog.

After a whole night of tossing, except for collecting some ordinary herbs, the mercenary team basically found nothing.

Just as the group returned in distress, unexpectedly, trouble came to the door again.

Before they could reach the hole in the ground at the entrance of the inn, the surrounding land began to sound restlessly.

And after everyone had the last experience, they basically understood what was going on.

Sure enough, more than a dozen nezumi suddenly emerged from the ground, and the gray-haired rat man who had a face-to-face with everyone last time was also among them.

I saw that most of these ratmen were carrying some mechanical weapons, a bit similar to back-type miniature ballistas, and some even pointed their muskets at everyone.

"These big rats are really haunted!" Eugene wiped his nose, and the axe was already across his chest.

Xiao Ye was also stung a lot by the poisonous insects in the swamp at this time, and he was holding back a bad breath and had nowhere to spread fire. I thought to myself: come on, it's better to fight!

"Boy, hand over people, I don't care about you about this, just when you are young and ignorant. If you're stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The gray-haired rat-man showed his big gold teeth, and the spittle stars flew wildly, and Mo was also irritable at this time, and before he even replied, a shield flew out and smashed directly on the gray-haired rat-man's face!

The nezumi touched the swollen half of his face and shouted, "Give it to me, give it to me, and blast them all to smithereens!"

The surrounding nezumi residents hid even farther away at this time, for fear that the battle would affect them.

Mo knew very well in his heart that he had saved this rat man, so this battle must be won!

Just as he was about to charge with his sword and shield, the other party suddenly began to attack. Just listen to the sound of "whoosh" quickly came, and the ballista behind the nezumi began to fire.

"Stand behind me!" Mur yelled, and the crowd gathered behind him, with Eugene and Ogu standing on either side of him. Ink then unleashed a huge shield of light that stood in front of the crowd, fending off the fire of the miniature ballistas.

These ballistas are infused with magic, and each arrow carries a small explosion effect, even if the ink blocks the attack, but it is not able to move forward by the aftermath of the waves.

The others stood behind Mo and couldn't pull back to fight back, and these miniature ballistas continued to bombard Mo's giant shield.

Mu Xin also felt the pressure of ink at this time, and then a light barrier also wrapped everyone up. But that doesn't change the fact that they can't fight back.

"The mechanical firepower of these rat people is really powerful, no wonder such a low magic pattern and elemental affinity can keep them alive to this day!" even Ogu, who usually doesn't talk much, sighed at this time.

"Gotta find a way out of this predicament!" Mo said under intense pressure.

"How's it going, bunnies, I'm going to show you the mechanical products of our nezumi clan today!"

"Shoot me, shoot me, you must not give them any respite!"

Seeing that Mu Xin's first light barrier was about to shatter, everyone had no better way at this time.

Mo thought of the iron wolf in his spatial ring at this time, but if it was released at this time, many things would be difficult to explain. So he resisted the urge to release the iron wolf, looked back at Lynn and said, "Lynn, can you go out and attract firepower?"

"I can only hold out for three minutes, and if you haven't destroyed those miniature ballistas, then I'll be heroic!"

Mo looked at everyone after listening, and then gave Lynn an affirmative look!

Then Lynn did not hesitate: "Chasing the wind!" I saw a small green whirlwind begin to surround Lynn, and then he ran out of Mo's protective shield with a "boom".

When the gray-haired rat-man saw it, he immediately ordered the two rat-men to turn around and bomb Lynn, but the speed reinforced by the wind element was still not a problem to dodge these crossbow arrows, and this could only last for three minutes, otherwise Lynn would have to be blown into ashes even if he was not shot.

At this time, due to the sharp decrease in the firepower on the opposite side, there were only four of the original six rat-men who attacked with ballistae, and Mo struggled to move forward with his shield, and was bombarded back by the ballista half a step with every step.

Moreover, his shield of light has also cracked at this time, and it is estimated that it will disappear in the near future.

At this time, the ratmen who did not carry their ballistas began to support with their muskets. Lynn's swift pace made them all flutter.

After finally getting a little closer to the nezuman's attack circle, Mo turned to Xiao Ye and said, "It's up to you!"

Xiao Ye replied, "Look at me!"

"Flames gushing!" A strong fire element quickly gathered in Xiao Ye's hands, Xiao Ye clenched his hands tightly in front of his chest, and began to slowly gather the fire element into his hands.

Then Xiao Ye threw the fire elemental sphere that had been gathered in his hand into the air in front of him, and the fireball full of energy exploded in the air with a "bang".

Several flames like fiery serpents burst through the ball, swooping out in all directions.

"Well done!" exclaimed Eugene.

Several fire snakes rushed in all directions with a rich fire element, and if this blow could be successful, it would definitely break the opponent's formation in an instant.

And in the process, there is also enough time to break through the fire suppression of the nezumi.

But what everyone never expected was that the gray-haired rat man was unmoved.

The fiery serpent was like this, and it only took a few seconds to reach the crowd of rats. The fiery snake that was going straight at them changed at this time.

In the surprised expressions of everyone, they watched as several fire snakes suddenly began to deviate from their targets at a very close distance, and they all landed on the ground around the rat crowd and disappeared.

Mo looked up, but saw that the rat man had a small diamond-shaped mechanical device in his hand.

"Magic Shifter!" Lynn shouted, and the crowd only then reacted. Although no one has ever seen this thing, most of them have heard of it.

This mechanical artifact is the highest stage of the nezumi to date, and for a period of time it acts like a talisman to create an electronic magnetic field around the user.

This magnetic field can interfere with all magical elements in a small area, and can even cause them to lose their targets, and even have the effect of not forming magic properly.

With the failure of Xiao Ye's magic, the crazy firepower of the nezumi struck again.

"Is the ammo of these big rats unlimited?" shouted Yukin Murphy as he shared the firepower.

"If it drags on any longer, Lynn's side will be almost unable to hold on!" Ogu reminded Mo at this time.

Mo quickly glanced at the situation on Lynn's side, the green magic element had gradually disappeared from his body, and several musket shots almost hit Lynn, and a breakthrough was imminent.
