Chapter 34: The Strange Place

Everyone looked ahead, only to see small black dots on the ground in the distance. It was so dark that most people couldn't see clearly. Wait until those little dots are close to see clearly. It turned out to be gray mice. The rat is two sizes larger than the usual mouse, stands about half a meter tall when it stands upright, and its whole body is covered with long gray-black hairs that cover its eyes. Fortunately, the strangest thing is that these rats are "crippled", and the front one has no flesh and blood on its back, revealing Bai Sensen's backbone, and his neck is bent at 180 degrees. Both the right front paw and the left hind paw are unnaturally curved, and it is impossible to imagine how to crawl in this state.

Roughly counted, there are about 800 of them. All rats, similar in size and shape. Some have no limbs and roll on the ground, some have uncoordinated body proportions, and one head occupies ninety percent of the space, and some have no eyes, ears, and hair...... In short, there are no normal mice, they are all ugly and creepy.

What is this? Mutant species? Is it alive or dead? Under normal thinking, it is impossible for a mouse to be alive like this, but they are still moving, and they even make rattling sounds in their mouths.

Nangong Mingjing's face changed, and he yelled: "Everyone be careful!

The mercenaries immediately put on a posture and watched the rat swarm warily. They had dealt with these things before, and with experience, no one rushed blindly this time. The earth warlock Qin Zhongjie ran to the middle, squatted down, touched the ground with both hands, and layers of yellow light swung around him.

Ground Fixing...... Tianlan knew that Qin Zhongjie was using the basic technique of the earth system to fix the earth, which was the basis of the warlock like the wind control technique, and the starless spell was not even a spell, it was just an application of an element. The function is also very simple, that is, to solidify the ground, so that the escape of those rats is greatly limited.

Nangong Mingqing took out his sword and said to a few people: "These rats are very evil, they won't die if they attack them, they won't feel pain, they can only destroy their heads." And beware of their claws, which are not only very sharp, but also poisonous, and many brothers have suffered. Xiao Kui...... And a few of you, don't get too far away from me. โ€

A few people nodded, Xiaotang and Ye Yi took out their weapons, and Nangong Kui also took out two arrows in a trembling manner. Tianlan seemed to realize something, and looked up at the sky. I saw a blood-red full moon hanging over the dark night. The red full moon seems to have absorbed countless blood, and it is terrifyingly beautiful. The red light was closed one by one, flickering on and off, like a moving heart, and people shuddered to see.

"This, this, this...... What is this?Moon Moon Moon?" Nangong Kui looked at him and saw such a terrifying red moon, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly. At most, the faces of the others changed slightly, but they were not too frightened, most of the people present were extremely cultivated, the so-called art masters were bold, and there was no way to scare them with a single moon. Nangong Mingqing and the other mercenaries who came early in the morning had already seen this round of red moon.

Tianlan said: "The sun and moon in the formation are self-contained. Although the form is different, there is no need to worry about it. On the contrary...... Something from heaven is coming......"

Nangong Mingqing looked up when he heard this, and with his six-star cultivation eyesight, it was naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he soon saw dozens of ...... appear in the sky Bird?

On the black horizon, the red moon flickered, and flocks of strange birds roared. Each strange bird was about three feet long, with red wings as hard as steel, a black body, red and black tails, unusually thick and powerful claws, and a bald head with red flesh exposed. The two eyes were black and shiny, and they turned smartly, looking at the prey on the ground, shining with bloodthirsty light!

"Everyone be careful of the strange birds in the skyโ€”โ€”!" Nangong Mingqing warned. All the mercenaries also saw a flock of strange birds flying in the sky at his prompting.

One of the strange birds swooped down and landed on the corpse of a mercenary not far away, opening its sharp beak to gnaw on the corpse's flesh. Soon two more strange birds landed next to the carcass and enjoyed the "sweet food" together.

"Dead birds, what are you doing!" shouted one of the mercenaries, rushing over and slashing his hammer at the strange bird.

These mercenaries live and die together, often have deep feelings, even if it is a corpse, he can't tolerate his comrades being defiled by this disgusting strange bird!

Frightened, the strange bird hurriedly spread its wings and flew into the air, staring at the mercenary who attacked them with unkind black eyes.

"Be carefulโ€”" Tianlan shouted to the mercenary, but before he could finish speaking, the strange bird screamed, opened its slender beak, and condensed a black ball of light from its mouth. Several rays of light in the black ball of light were staggered, and the ball of light gradually changed into the shape of a sharp sword, and the tip of the sword pointed downward. With a "bang", a black sword fell like a meteor, and the mercenary was pierced through his body by three black swords in the blink of an eye, and before he could scream, his body had begun to rot, and it turned into a pool of blood in a short time.

Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they all turned their heads to guard against the strange birds.

Unknown things can always make people fearful, even Ye Yi, who is usually not afraid of heaven and earth, was a little apprehensive at this time, took a step back, and muttered in his mouth: "What is this......"

What he didn't expect was that he casually said that someone would really give him an answer.

"This is a bird called the bloodthirsty crow, between a beast and a spirit animal, although the spirit is not low, but it has not fully formed its sanity, and it is bloodthirsty to kill. Feeds on fresh corpse flesh, and attacks the living when they are angry or hungry. โ€

Everyone looked at Tianlan in surprise, they didn't expect this young boy to be so knowledgeable.

Tianlan didn't seem to see everyone's gaze, and then said, "Bloodthirsty crows like damp and bloody places, probably because of the strong blood qi here that attracted them. The black light that was like a sharp sword just now was their nirvana, called the 'Bloodthirsty Sword', which was not very powerful, but it was extremely corrosive and should not be touched. โ€

"Then do they have weaknesses?" This is what Nangong Mingqing is most concerned about.

"Weakness," Tianlan looked up at the ugly bloodthirsty crow, "it's probably the soft flesh on top of their heads, but if they don't kill them with a single hit, it tends to make them even more angry." โ€

At this time, the mercenaries had already started to fight with the rats, and everyone had experience in dealing with rats, so stay away from the claws of the rats and take advantage of their slow weakness to attack in a roundabout way. When these stupid rats want to escape, they will bang as if they hit a stone, and the speed of digging will suddenly be greatly reduced, and the mercenaries can take advantage of this time to deal with them. And most of the rats that were originally in the ground also hit the hard soil layer, even if they worked hard to dig the soil, they would be quickly discovered by the mercenaries on the ground, and they would not have the effect of a surprise attack, all thanks to the earth warlock Qin Zhongjie.

But this time things were clearly different, because in addition to those pesky rats, there were many more bloodthirsty crows in the sky. These crows are not vegetarians either, they see that there are so many "delicacies" on the ground but they can't eat them, so they immediately hate the "quasi-delicacies" of those activities on the ground, and are ready to attack in a big way.
