Chapter 14: The Rat Lair
Unless there is a strong guard in the forest at night, it is not allowed to live and cook for safety. So, the fifteen kobolds, the ferocious rats, and Ji Feng, they all ate their own dried meat and grain.
Sharpen a large number of leaves into spikes and bury them in the ground at a distance, while dealing with the arrangement of traps when they come, no more traps, just a warning effect, this is so that they do not be touched by wild beasts to sleep places.
In the depths of the tree hole, there is only less than three meters, so that before dark, the ground can be excavated, so that more kobolds can look at the surrounding situation from the bottom up.
There are kobolds on top of the trees, but in addition to the dagger-like bone spurs in their hands, they are bone whistles made of bones that can make a sharp sound.
Traps are set around the tree, there are two kobolds in front, there are two kobolds hidden on the branches above the tree, and at the same time, around the forest, there are four fierce rats roaming, and the other three are resting in the hollow of the tree.
When night fell, darkness completely covered the earth, and there was no light or shadow in the forest, because of the dark clouds in the sky, the moon was also obscured.
In the second half of the night, Ji Feng woke up on time and woke up the kobold who was still sleeping, and the kobold, who was already slightly tired around him, entered the tree hole to replace the kobold on duty on the tree.
At the same time, the three ferocious rats in the tree hole were also released for a longer range of reconnaissance, while the surrounding ferocious rats left behind in the first half of the night were arranged outside the tree hole to rest.
Nothing happened in the second half of the night, except for the occasional roar of wild beasts.
The forests of late autumn look like a world that is about to wither.
After dawn, Ji Feng did not rush to leave, but packed up the wood and began to make a fire to drive away the moisture of the night, warm the bodies of kobolds and fierce rats, and had already begun to hunt the two rabbits obtained yesterday.
A dark gray hare, the length of Ji Feng's arms, and a strong body with tendons and flesh in the body.
Use a bone knife to peel the whole hare, take out the internal organs, fill the belly of the hare with a large number of plant rhizomes, and use the leaves to wrap it firmly, and the outer layer is using clay mixed with water to wrap the whole hare's body to form a mud ball.
After all this last night, Ji Feng moved the fire, dug a pit, put in the mud, filled it, moved the fire to its original position again, and began to add wood.
This baking method is the same as that of the flower chicken.
The sky was completely bright, the sun was out, the moisture in the forest slowly dissipated, and the kobolds sitting around the fire regained their strength, and led the ferocious rats to carefully investigate the surrounding area again, bringing back a few pieces of wood and a large tuft of soil.
After Ji Feng checked these things, he shook his head in disappointment, it seemed that there were still no metal deposits in this vicinity, and then he ignored them.
After removing the fire, smashing the mud and peeling off the leaves, a scent spreads all around, filling the forest.
Ji Feng ate half of the rabbit, and the rest was distributed to the kobolds, although they didn't allocate much, but they were able to taste one.
As for the ferocious rats, they are omnivorous animals, after the ferocity, if possible, they will not eat plants and other foods, almost to the point of no meat and no joy, but in the face of this completely roasted food, they are not interested, and they can't arouse the slightest appetite.
When the sun filled the forest and the earth began to heat up under the sun, Ji Feng and the others took care of the fire and the scraps of food before they set out.
In this way, they walked for five days and nights, but still did not find a place where the metal deposits, but fortunately, they were able to find a place with a large number of animals.
Ji Feng is alone, fifteen kobolds, and seven fierce rats, standing at the mouth of a valley, after a cursory inspection of the valley, there are a large number of real fierce rats living in it, they are not the same as the blood-colored fierce rats that Ji Feng mutated into after using the blood contract.
The biggest change is in the body, their body is like a wolfdog, their body is large, agile, and at the same time the limbs are strong and powerful, and the claws under the claws can be retracted.
They are standard carnivores, and there are plenty of non-completely ferocious forest rats in the valley, which are fist-sized and omnivorous.
These forest rats are both the basis and mobile food for the ferocious rats, because they also use these non-ferocious forest rats as a source of food.
The whole valley is empty, very desolate, and the two sides of the valley are not real stones, but after being compressed into almost stone-like cement, with very strong plasticity, this kind of soil, as long as it is the basic soil for firing pottery, as long as the soil is mixed, made into a variety of water-filled vessels, put in the cave, after firing, it can become a simple clay pot.
Ji Feng made a note of the place and then made some arrangements around the valley.
In the middle of the night, the moon shines like water.
The cool moonlight sprinkled its light on this land unobstructed by trees, illuminating the entire valley in shadows.
Ji Feng arranged the kobold and the ferocious rat on the outskirts of the valley, and walked into the valley by himself.
It didn't cost much in the world, and hundreds of fat-headed and big-eared forest rats had been caught, and these little guys were seriously bleeding, quietly following behind Ji Feng, walking towards the deepest part of the deep valley.
He wanted to find the greatest leader in the entire valley.
The number and size of the ferocious rats determine their leading position in this place, so what Ji Feng is doing now is to find the biggest leader of the ferocious rats, and then sign a blood contract.
Soon, Ji Feng's actions were discovered by the forest rats in the valley, and the whole valley began to boil at once.
They didn't know what channel to communicate through, but the efficiency was very good, and it didn't take much time, and the ferocious rats in the entire valley had completely rushed out of the inner perimeter of the valley, and they were in a row on all fours, charging towards Ji Feng in unison.
The dust was trampled under the feet of these ferocious rats, and the two snow-white fangs in their mouths were only talking about the two snow-white fangs in their mouths, and they rushed towards Ji Feng, and their powerful bodies, fast speeds, and sharp fangs were about to form a bloody killing field.
The ferocious rat galloped in the valley, getting closer and closer to Ji Feng's body, such a powerful attack power coupled with faster and faster speed, and the collision power of the body bonus, if it really hit Ji Feng's body, it would definitely not be comfortable.
It's closer, and the two sides are getting closer. I'm going to start contact right away.
Suddenly, behind Ji Feng, the bodies of more than a hundred fist-sized ferocious rats trembled, and blood light appeared all over their bodies.
Then a large area of blood mist quickly rose from under Ji Feng's feet, dyeing the land in a radius of ten meters red.
