Chapter Twenty-Three: The Swarm of Rats
"What's going on? The voice...... Could it be an earthquake? The fat man also attached his ears to the stone wall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Lan Feng shook his head: "No, this sound is intermittent, and the interval is very short, not like the sound of an earthquake." ā
The fat man was still clinging to the stone wall, his eyes flickered slightly, he seemed to think of something, Lan Feng saw this scene, and did not bother him, but leaned close to the stone wall to listen, this time, he actually felt that this voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"I'll go!" Suddenly, the fat man jumped up with a kick and exclaimed, "This, isn't this the sound of gunpowder exploding?" ā
As soon as he heard this, Lan Feng suddenly felt enlightened, and he also turned over and stood up, patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, that's it, it's this voice, why is it so familiar when I say?" It turned out to be the sound of gunpowder exploding. ā
"Could it be that Third Uncle Yan and they are also here? Not good, they are in danger. ā
But immediately Lan Feng's face changed, in this place, in addition to the fact that they can use gunpowder, only the people in the tribe know how to use it, so it is not difficult to think that Uncle Yan and they should have also come to this place, and they also encountered danger, otherwise, there would not have been such a violent explosion.
"What do we do now?" The fat man asked.
"What else? Go to them, of course! With that, Lan Feng ran forward for a certain distance, clinging to the stone wall and listening, relying on the size of the sound in his ears to determine the direction of the sound source.
"Let's go, in front."
Lan Feng beckoned, and the fat man hurriedly followed.
It has been 100 meters deeper, turning into a fork in the road, the sound is getting louder and louder, and in the end, it gives people a deafening feeling, and the surrounding rock walls are constantly shaking, and the rubble is rolling down, as if it is about to collapse at any time.
Continuing forward, Lan Feng suddenly stopped and said, "No, the voice ahead is getting quieter and quieter?" ā
The fat man obviously realized this, and hurriedly waved his torch, and looked at the surrounding rock wall with the help of the firelight, which was a four-square-square road, and there was nothing unusual about it, the only thing that caught the eye was that the entire road was shaking violently.
After looking at it, the fat man immediately looked at a stone wall not far behind him, and said, "The sound came from behind the rock wall, is there a hole behind the rock wall?" ā
Lan Feng ran to the stone wall, and he found that not only was the loudest noise heard here, but this stone wall also shook the most violently, obviously, there was really a hole behind it.
"You're right, this rock wall should be empty behind it." Lan Feng echoed.
The fat man spat and rubbed his hands, and a huge golden axe flashed in his hand, and said, "Then what are you waiting for, just smash a hole." ā
Lan Feng scolded: "When you smash out of the hole, I'm afraid it's over." ā
The fat man was furious, and just wanted to refute a few words, he saw Lan Feng take out a few arrows bound with explosives, and he swallowed it directly when he got to his mouth, "You have this thing on you, why didn't you say it earlier?" ā
"You didn't ask."
āā¦ā¦ā
The situation was urgent, and the two of them did not dare to delay in the slightest, the fat man directly used a giant axe to cut a fist-sized hole in the rock wall, while Lan Feng tied the gunpowder on the four arrows into a ball and stuffed it into this hole, so that the power of the explosives could be brought into full play, and it could also have the effect of directional blasting.
After doing all this, the two of them quickly retreated ten meters away, and Lan Feng drew his iron bow and aimed at the stone wall below the lead at an oblique angle.
I heard a loud roar, and a black shadow burst out like lightning, and arrows sparked from the wall, and the lead was ignited in an instant.
"Get down!"
At the same time, Lan Feng and the fat man hugged their ears and lay on the spot, and then there was a deafening loud noise, and the two of them only felt that the ground shook violently, and even their bodies were swinged, and the gravel hit their bodies like bullets, which was painful.
Fortunately, they hugged their ears in advance, otherwise, they would have to be directly deaf, but even so, they felt a buzzing in their ears, as if all the sounds in the world had disappeared.
I'm afraid that in less than half a minute, I won't be able to recover.
But at this time, they were naturally in no mood to care about this, and hurriedly rushed towards the huge opening in the distance.
Just as Lan Feng and the others guessed, there was indeed a cave behind the rock wall, and when they came to the edge of the cave, a crack in the rock formation suddenly appeared in front of them, and they, on a stone wall at the top of the crack, looked down, it was more than ten meters high.
"Look there." The fat man exclaimed.
In fact, he didn't need to remind him, Lan Feng found it at first sight, in the crack not far below him, more than a dozen people appeared, they kept waving torches, as if they were driving something, at first glance, he could only see a cluster of black shadows flickering, but immediately Lan Feng found that this was actually a mouse the size of a cat, with shiny hair, revealing a mouthful of fine fangs, especially the pair of scarlet eyes, which made people feel a chill down their backs.
Looking at these eyes, Lan Feng immediately thought of the attack he encountered when he climbed down the cliff in the first place, could it be these big rats?
"! These rats are all sperm, bigger than cats, which makes cats embarrassed! The fat man said suddenly.
Lan Feng glanced at him, thinking to himself when it was now, and you were still in the mood to fight for the cat.
"It's Uncle Yan, let's hurry up and save people."
As expected, these people are Yan San and them, but they are now facing the successive attacks of the rat swarm, and every time they kill, they can bite a bite of meat on these people, and in the distance, many people have been gnawed into a pile of white bones, which looks chilling.
At this moment, Yan San and the others have been surrounded by a swarm of rats, if it weren't for the fact that these things were afraid of flames, they would have swarmed up long ago.
The situation was urgent, Lan Feng and the fat man didn't dare to delay in the slightest, while checking the situation, they were thinking of a way to crack it, in this case, they must not rush out rashly, otherwise, they would only make themselves the food in the belly of these animals.
"Don't think about it, we have to pick them up as soon as possible, if you can save one, it's one, they have no way to survive now." The fat man said urgently.
Lan Feng was slightly suspicious, then waved his hand and took out a roll of rope, and hurriedly tied one end of the rope to the arrow, Yan San and they had an angle deviation from here, only with the help of the power of the iron bow could the rope be brought over.
Seeing this scene, the fat man also hurriedly helped, and many ropes were equivalent to multiple ways to survive.
Immediately, the two of them made all preparations, Lan Feng shot an arrow at a cliff next to Yan San and them, the arrow shot into the stone wall, and directly brought the rope over, and on the other end, Lan Feng tied the rope to an iron pry, saying that it was an iron pry, but in fact, the fat man shot the arrow directly into the ground under his feet, using it as a fixed point.
Fortunately, this kind of iron bow is extremely powerful, and the arrows that shoot into the rock wall are deep enough to withstand a large enough pull, otherwise, this trick will not work at all.
As concocted, Lan Feng erected two more rope beams.
"Third Uncle Yan, climb up quickly." The fat man shouted.
For what was happening here, in fact, they had already found out, after all, the explosion before was too violent, and they didn't need to be warned, they quickly approached the rock wall, some of them were responsible for breaking the back, blocking the flying of the rats, and some people climbed up the rope.
Moreover, Lan Feng also found that the people who climbed up were still young, and the people who resisted the rat swarm with their own flesh and blood were all the oldest people.
Apparently they also know that someone here has to be left behind, someone has to die.
And they, on the other hand, leave their hope to the young.
Although it is an alien world, this is the same whether it is on Earth or here.
Looking at the scene in front of them, Lan Feng and the fat man both had sour noses, but they could only watch those people being surrounded by rats.
