Chapter 439 The Rat Road is Difficult
The mountain breeze blew and dispersed the smell of rat paste, and after a while, on the dirt slope of the mountain shade, a small mouse came out of the grass, and the probe shrank his head to observe left and right first, and then quickly retracted. After a while, it was replaced by a slightly larger mouse, only to see this big mouse ghost head and ghost brain trotting out, running a few steps to stop to observe the movement around him, running a few more times, suddenly made a look of running back, only turned around and ran two steps but stopped, saw that there was no movement around, and then he quickly ran to the source of the smell of rat paste with confidence and boldness. Jumping up the stone wall, he crouched there and didn't move, but kept sniffing deeply with his nose.
The first, the second, and the third, more and more rats rushed out of the hole, so that the back couldn't wait to expand the hole, and a large bag of earth was raised, and thousands of rats of different sizes gushed out of the ground like a fountain.
I don't know how many rats there are in the ground, and it took dozens of minutes to spray, and no less than a million rats surrounded the stone wall. These rats are strictly graded, from the inner circle to the outer circle, standing in strict accordance with the size of the body, the largest in the inner circle to smell the first-hand breath, the second in the second circle, and so on, the last one has to sniff the stinky fart. Even so, they still scratch their ears and cheeks, half-squatting and half-sitting, squeaking, intoxicated and smelling.
Amazingly, none of the rats dared to step forward to try the taste of the thunder pool. Until a big red-skinned rat like a dachshund came out of the hole, swaggered up to the mass of rat poison, licked it lightly with his tongue, and then let out a rapid scream. The outer group of rats dispersed in a hurry, leaving only the big rats in the inner circle to surround and taste the taste.
In the end, after the rats, who were no bigger than the old cats, distributed the rat paste, each carried a small piece and followed the army of rats back the same way.
Pi Rixiu had been hiding the Qi Qi in his arms before, wrapping it in wolf skin to cover his breath, and then took it out and said, "Now is the best time, there is a guide, it's time for us to come on the stage to meet His Majesty the Rat King." ”
Li Muye was still a little incredulous, looked at the one-meter-diameter hole suspiciously, and said, "Is there really a rat country capital down here?"
Pi Ri said: "The rat country is based on the number of tens of thousands, once the country is founded, it must choose a radius of 100 miles, imitate human beings, build a city, as long as the underground situation allows, under the command of the rat king, pavilions and pavilions can be built, according to the record of the rat Danshu, a base of the rat country is divided into 100 posts, a whistle is about a million, these rat soldiers are just one of the whistles, and those led by the big rats bring the rat paste into it is intended to pay tribute." ”
Li Muye asked curiously, "To whom do you pay tribute?"
Pi Ri said: "This is the rule of the rat country, no matter what good things need to be given priority to the king to enjoy, the king does not use the turn of the rats below, you see that those big rats just now can also lick the taste, and the other little rats will also have their turn to smell the taste, those big rats will find a way to eat a little bit when carrying the rat paste, but it is only a little bit, the real big head is also given to the above, why is it the rat country, this is the reason!"
Li Muye was amused in his heart, but at the same time, he couldn't help but think, it seemed that what he said made sense. If the greedy nature of these rats is not suppressed and restrained by rules, it will only quickly flood and eventually evolve into a catastrophe of species extinction. But if these princes and generals who make rules do not follow the rules themselves and make a mess to provoke the anger of the people, they will naturally be overthrown by the rats and set up a new magnates.
Pi Rixiu took out a leather drum from his bag, put it on the ground, and then knocked it up. Said: "The hole is too narrow, let's give him a wide one." ”
After a while, a strange vibration came from the ground, and the insect god who was good at drilling the ground came.
Along the way, the initial trip was completed on horseback, and then changed to a car, but it was not very urgent, basically only 300 kilometers a day. It's just to accommodate this ground worm. This thing sneaks deep underground, only walking through the underground water veins, up to 600 miles a day. Pi Rixiu tempted him with insect medicine and food, and communicated with him with insect language, and finally brought this behemoth here.
With a bang, the hole suddenly heaved, and a large cloud of earth and stone came out, and then the entrance collapsed, and a huge pit appeared in the ground. Pi Rixiu took the lead, stepped on the special rhythm of the footsteps, and jumped lightly onto the back of the insect god. Li Muye followed closely behind, and also walked over at almost the same pace, also standing on the back of the pink giant insect. Pi Rixiu nodded and praised: "The child can be taught, I can't imagine that what I haven't taught yet, you have already learned it first." ”
Li Muye didn't want to pay attention to his praise, and at this moment, his attention was completely attracted by the unknown world of the black hole in front of him.
People have meridians and veins to circulate qi and blood, trees have chakras to transmit nutrients, and the earth also has earthly veins and waterways to breed all things. The so-called feng shui treasure land is the node or intersection of the earth's vein circulation, which is often a good place for the growth of all things with pleasant scenery and moist water and soil.
Pi Ri said: "This insect drills into the ground by being familiar with the soil veins, specially selected to take the water vein movement, relying on the front of the shovel-shaped giant bone teeth to divide and close, and the huge power to dig up the loose underground water veins to advance, the speed can reach a very amazing point, but if the water veins are not sufficient, the soil is relatively dense, and there are rock formations blocking the way, it will be much slower, the veins under this mountain are scarce, but fortunately, the water veins are abundant, the texture is loose, with the power of the insect god, it is not difficult to open a channel. ”
The world in front of him can be described as bizarre, which is an eye-opener for Ono. I can't help but admire in my heart: It turns out that this is the depth of the rivers and lakes.
The giant insect breaks the ground like diving, the speed is amazing, it forks the giant bone teeth at the front end, and easily divides the water and soil of the rat road in front of it to both sides, squeezes and compacts it with its huge body, and easily opens up a new channel, all the way down, I don't know how long it has dived, and finally comes to a relatively dense place, and the speed slows down.
Pi Ri Xiu said: "It is likely that the moat rock formation of the Rat Country is below, boy, take a good look, ordinary people have never had the opportunity to see such a strange scene in their lives." ”
The speed of the pink giant worm slowed down, and the giant bone teeth at the front end gnawed at the rock layer and made a squeaking sound, and it actually drilled a passage on the rock layer more than ten meters thick. Li Muye looked at this scene with the faint light refracted from above, and his heart was shocked and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked. If this ghost place collapses, Brother Ono has the ability to reach the sky, and he doesn't want to escape.
The insect god broke through the rock layer and forcibly squeezed out a passage of more than ten meters to break the rock layer. Suddenly, a little light appeared in front of me, and the sound of machinery running slowly could be faintly heard. This is the rat country that Sun Defu commanded the rats to open up?
Li Muye didn't have time to investigate carefully, and his attention was quickly drawn by countless pairs of small red bean-like eyes that appeared in the dense circles around him.
The world is full of wonders. I never thought there would be such a place in the world. Looking at the past, I saw rats all around, dense and unsightly, and the red-skinned rat was crouching on a raised gravel rock, staring angrily at a pair of blood-red eyes.
The rats are restless, ready to attack. With so many rats with their mouths open, revealing their sharp incisors like knives, if they rush up, even a herd of elephants can be eaten clean in an instant.
Although Li Muye is well-informed, he has just experienced the baptism of Sun Delu's army of rats, and it is the first time in his life to confront so many rats head-on, he can't help but sweat in his nervous palms, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, what now?"
Pi Rixiu has been holding the evil insect of the cater, at this time let go of his arms, put the evil insect on the top of the head of the pink giant insect, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, you haven't seen the real ability of this evil insect yet, no matter how many of these rats are also local chickens and dogs, this time my insect god will have a full meal again." As he spoke, he took out two balls of cotton from his pocket, stuffed them into his ears, and made a gesture to Li Muye to cover his ears.
Li Muye remembered the legend about the ancestor of the five earth masters that he heard him talk about before, and guessed what he was going to do, so he raised his hand to block his ears. I saw Pi Rixiu take out a piece of wind ointment from his bosom and stuff it into the mouth of the evil worm, babbling in his mouth, and finally gently pulling the beard on the side of his lips.
The little thing stood up suddenly, and the hairs on his whole body stood up in an instant, making Pi Rixiu hurriedly withdraw his hand and take a step back.
Whew!
I only heard a low and loud roar, like a thunderous beast roar suddenly erupted, Li Muye felt it in detail, and could almost perceive the impact of the sound wave diffusion, only to see that the rat army around him was like a lightning strike in an instant, and the whole body stiffened and fell. The red-skinned rat was also scared, although he didn't stretch out his legs and stare at him, but he was already out of his soul.
Pi Rixiu laughed proudly and said, "Muye, see it, this is the majesty of the immortal head of ten thousand insects, there is this beast, there is no place in the world that the old man does not dare to go." ”
Li Muye smiled and looked at the major artery on his neck, and said in his heart, as long as he waved his hand gently, your old boy's head would have to move, just rely on your slight way, and still want to dominate the world? But he said: "The teacher's immortal law is invincible, and the insect soldiers are powerful, and they will definitely be able to break the rat country, sweep away these rats, and get the treasures of the rat country." ”
Pi Rixiu nodded with satisfaction, and said: "You said the key point, the reason why the old man came here from thousands of miles away, in addition to cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, the most important goal is the treasure of this rat country, don't you look at this rat country was established by Sun Defu under the command of the mouse, it sounds like child's play, but in fact, its internal treasures may not be less than the treasures in the Forbidden City Museum, you must know that this rat country is built in the depths of the underground, and those rats live in the underground world all year round, imagine how many historical events have been buried in the ground for a long time?"
Li Muye heard the strings and knew what he meant, and said: "After all, these things are only a few people who have been discovered, but if you can control the rats to find them, it will be much easier." ”
Pi Ri Xiu said: "So I tell you, Sun Defu, this old boy, lives a real emperor's life in this place. ”
The insect suddenly flew out and pressed its paw on the red-skinned rat's head. Pi Rixiu hurriedly sent a sentry to stop it, explaining: "This red-skinned mouse is called the Rat General, Sun Delu's Danshu says that in the Rat Country, civil officials are humans, and military generals are rats, so inside the Rat Country portal, all the ranks below the Rat King are civilian names." The rat prime minister, the rat prefect, and the rat Xiucai, are all like this, and this red-skinned mouse is the rat general, not fed with croton, but with snake blood and black dog blood, copper skin, iron bones, steel teeth, and thigh-thick cables can be gnawed!"
"If it's so powerful, why do you keep it?"
"Don't worry, this thing is a treasure, the body fluid contains powerful pathogenic bacteria, but blood is an excellent antidote, the bones of the whole body are ground and mixed with mercury and mandala juice to forge a strange thing, called a bone mirror, which has a strong hallucinogenic effect. Pi Ri said: "But this bone must be taken alive to have an effect, let this little thing die miserably when taking the treasure, the heavier the resentment, the better the effect." ”
Li Muye nodded abruptly and said, "Taught again, you are really a knowledgeable person, a living dictionary of rivers and lakes." ”
Pi Rixiu beckoned to the red-skinned rat general to take it over, this thing was poisoned by the wind and was already unable to move, and he easily stuffed it into the big leather bag he carried. waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's take you to see what the real underground rat country is!"
