Chapter Twenty-Six: A Strange Rat-Tide, Ruined Farmhouses

After sending the mountain spirit back to the west, Jiang Yu returned to the camp, after this battle, except for Chang Qing and the three mercenaries who were slightly injured, there was no other loss, Jiang Yu felt that although these mercenaries did not talk much on weekdays, it was also commendable to be able to unite without chaos at the time of crisis.

In fact, most of these hired people are well-trained, so it seems that there are only twenty-one people, but in fact, the ability is far from being comparable to ordinary people, and this is why so many people hire these people. After some tossing, Jiang Yu used the bronze talisman to arrange an evil avoidance array around him, which allowed everyone to go back to rest, after all, they had to hurry at dawn.

At five o'clock, Jiang Yu had been woken up by the sound of pleasant birds, and after washing, Jiang Yu began to nibble on the beef jerky he brought, the spicy taste made him feel warm and warm, obviously in this kind of mountain forest with a large temperature difference, it is undoubtedly a beautiful thing.

At six o'clock, everyone walked out of the tent one after another, Xu Jingwen was probably scared last night with dark circles under her eyes, after all, the appearance of the mountain spirit was really ugly, although Chang Qing received a claw on his back, but because of the help of his own fox fairy, Jiang Yu was still very curious, how did the two achieve a symbiotic relationship.

After a hasty breakfast, it was almost seven o'clock before loading things on the road, and the so-called road has become smaller and smaller, more and more desolate and difficult to walk, even this special heightened off-road jeep has slowly become sluggish, and finally at about two o'clock in the afternoon, the car can no longer move forward.

"I can't walk, I can only walk in the last section. Xu Jingwen looked at the vast mountains and forests and sighed.

Jiang An rubbed his wrinkled old face and asked, "How far is it from the approximate location?"

"It will take about three hours. It was Xu Er's voice that spoke, and his voice was a little hoarse, I don't know if it was caused by the cold and he didn't sleep well, or because of other reasons.

Jiang An nodded and turned his head to look at the employees who were still in the car, and then turned around and said, "It's not too far, so leave a few people to take care of the vehicle and water and food, and the others will go forward on foot with two or three days of food and necessary equipment, and try to get to the position before dark, how about it?"

"Just according to what the teacher said, second uncle, you go and tell me, and I'll go see if Chang Qing can go with me. Xu Jingwen kept staring at Jiang Yu when she spoke, not knowing what to think.

Jiang Yu didn't care how to arrange it, and finally decided that the five people stayed to watch the car, and the others continued on the road.

The mountain road is much more difficult to walk, especially the elderly Jiang An and Xu Jingwen, a woman with few sports, who are out of breath for a long time, of course, Jiang An has Jiang Yu by his side, and Xu Jingwen stubbornly gritted her teeth and insisted on walking by herself, and Chang Qing originally wanted to walk hand in hand with Xu Jingwen, but after seeing Xu Jingwen's refusal, he turned the target to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu was stared at by this man for a while, so he said, "Big brother, if you have anything, you just say, don't keep staring at me, okay?"

Chang Qing coughed awkwardly and laughed: "Little brother, seeing that you don't use Taoist techniques, you won't be the reincarnation of a certain immortal, right?"

Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this: "I'm afraid you've read too many novels, right?" Then seeing Chang Qing's serious face, Jiang Yu knew that this person was afraid that he really felt so, so he explained: "Although it is not a Taoist technique, it is all the same, and it clearly tells you that I am not the reincarnation of an immortal, so don't think about those unrealistic." ”

Chang Qing nodded and understood a little in his heart, after all, the elders of his family also said that there are many capable people in this world who can't escape from the world, so Jiang Yu must be the apprentice of a master, so it is inconvenient to reveal, thinking about this, Chang Qing hugged Jiang Yu and said: "It's a lot of mouth, but it's still Brother Jiang's magic is simple and domineering, unlike our brother Ma who will die every time he invites immortals... Ouch... I was wrong. ”

As soon as Jiang Yu wanted to fight back, he saw that this benevolent brother's ears seemed to be dragged, and his head was tilted and he shouted pain while walking, which made people can't help but look sideways, so although Jiang Yu was funny in his heart, he still endured and said, "Are you okay?"

"Well, no, it's okay, I'm used to being tortured by this mother-in-law all day long. Seeing Chang Qing pointing to his body, Jiang Yu suddenly understood that the fox fairy who lived in his body was still a female.

Seeing that Chang Qing's face was very uncomfortable but his eyes were shining, Jiang Yu suddenly understood that although this guy was complaining, he was enjoying this feeling in his bones, Jiang Yu couldn't help but have a picture of man and beast in his mind, and suddenly he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and ended this small talk with an embarrassed but polite smile.

......

The road became more and more difficult to walk, and the surroundings began to become dull and silent, and this feeling was undoubtedly a warning to everyone, Jiang Yu had a very bad premonition at this time, the same Chang Qing was still chatting with Xu Jingwen, but at this time he was also frowning and looking pensive.

Jiang Yu, who had sensitive ears, suddenly heard a slight 'squeak' sound, and then felt a slight vibration on the ground, and after a while, Jiang Yu couldn't help but change his face and immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone run forward, something is going to come out underground." ”

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he didn't explain and dragged his second grandfather to run wildly, Chang Qing's face also changed greatly, and Xu Jingwen followed closely behind Jiang Yu, and at the moment when everyone was puzzled, something like a tide poured out of the soil, mighty, dense, and terrifying.

Seeing such a scene, how could everyone not know the seriousness of the matter, and immediately followed Xu Er's footsteps and ran wildly, one of them just wanted to run but fell into the soil softly, just by the "tide" in an instant, and the screams were only half shouted and then there was no life, this scene was that everyone's scalp was numb, and no one dared to look back.

Chang Qing was a little struggling to run with Xu Jingwen in his hands at this time, and he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Little brother Jiang Yu, is there a solution, if you go on like this, you will die." ”

It's not that Jiang Yu doesn't want to use talismans to solve it, but there are too many rats, even if he finishes scattering the copper talisman, it's just throwing explosives in the water, so Jiang Yu can only shake his head and say: "These rats are not evil, they can't be hostile to manpower, unless they use weapons of mass destruction, there is no way but to run." ”

"Dissatisfied Brother Yu, this is the biggest mouse I've ever seen in my life, bigger than a cat..."Chang Qing was interrupted by Xu Jingwen, who was caught in his arms, before he finished speaking: "With a grenade, there is a grenade in the military backpack." ”

"No, using grenades may cause forest fires, which will hurt the heavens and is not the work of cultivators. ”

"Now that the weather is not dry, the probability of causing a fire is very small, and it can be used in moderation, and these damn rats will become like fire extinguishers. ”

And just as he was talking, there was another person who tripped and fell to the ground because he ran too fast and became a delicacy of rats, and a few big men who followed behind saw that they didn't care about any fire, and they felt the grenade to start the safety fuse and threw it behind him, only to hear the continuous "Boom" sound after a part of the rat was blown up and the flesh was splashed very disgusting, but it was such a blow that obviously relieved a trace of pressure, but this pressure only came again in an instant, because there were too many rats, and those that were blown up were just a drop in the bucket.

At this time, the hired people who followed behind saw this, and they all took out two grenades hanging on their backpacks, which were also the only two equipped by each person, and they didn't care about anything else, and the fuse was thrown away, and the successive blows slowed down the rat tide, and Jiang Yu, who was running in front, found that there was a village in front of him, but seeing that the surrounding weeds were overgrown, and some of them were pierced through the roof by tree branches.

The group was also getting closer and closer to the small village, to Jiang Yu's surprise, he could obviously feel that the speed of the rat group behind him had slowed down a lot, Jiang Yu had an unreal feeling, and thought, could there be something in this dilapidated small village that would make the rat group jealous?

Of course, what Jiang Yu can find out can also be found by others, and the same is true for Chang Qing, he has long been tired, sweating profusely, and his mouth is dry, at this time, he can't wait for a cow drink, and he can't help but be happy when he sees the speed of the rat behind him, and he can't help but be happy, and he said loudly to the people behind him: "Everyone, hurry up, as long as we enter the village in front, we will be fine." ”

Chang Qing's words made the mercenaries behind him who were almost desperate full of hope again, although the body had reached the limit, it was also gritting his teeth and running, after all, no one wanted to be the rations of rats, Jiang Yu, who had accelerated his pace, took the lead in dragging Jiang An to the small village, and the people behind him also arrived one after another, even so, everyone was so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe, looking at the dense group of rats behind them, cold sweat and hot sweat on their foreheads were rushing out, for fear that these rats would be unhappy and rush in and take them away.

As expected, these rat groups were led by the largest body, and stopped ten meters away from the edge of the village, and the leading rats stood on their feet and squeaked as if to transmit information, and it didn't take long for the group of rats to disperse towards the dense forest, and the leader of the rats looked at the people in the village unwillingly, and then disappeared from the ground.

Breathing a sigh of relief, everyone sat on the ground, Xu Jingwen was still in Chang Qing's arms at this time and said a little ashamedly: "How long do you want to hug it?" Chang Qing quickly put down Xu Jingwen when he heard it, he smiled and didn't say much, took out a bottle of mineral water and drank it all, obviously thirsty.

"I don't know what this rat group grew up eating, and it is so fat. Xu Er threw a dead rat on the ground and gasped deeply.

Jiang Yu admired this middle-aged uncle in his heart at first glance, and he was running away in a hurry, but he could still have the kung fu to catch a big mouse in that situation, which was really big-hearted.
