Chapter 152: Man-Eating Rats
Hearing her voice, the dark guard who was halfway to the road suddenly paused, stood in place, looked at her sideways with a puzzled face, and before he could ask, a black shadow fluttered in front of him, and a figure flashed Mo Gongyin had already arrived in front of him.
"Don't move...... Protect the princess, and don't come without my orders. Mo Gongyin used the instant technique to take the first step in front of the dark guard, and directly opened his mouth to stop him from advancing.
The dark guard's eyes were slightly startled, but he calmed down in a blink of an eye, listened to her words, and walked towards the carriage obediently to protect the princess.
"Ah...... Hmm...... "The staccato screams in the grass gradually subsided, and even the chirping and hissing of perches became louder.
Mo Gongyin saw very clearly as soon as he was in the car, there were dark black and fluffy things moving in the white snow drifts in the grass, not one, but a dense group. The little things were eating the food in groups, and the woman who made the screaming sound was surrounded by them and ate it.
She saw the blurry image from afar, which reminded her of the rat swarms attacking the village, and it was very likely that the wriggling swarms were man-eating rats.
But this is her guess!
She didn't dare to let the people around her take the risk until she figured out the situation, so she told the secret guard to stand by to protect the princess, but she walked slowly away to the trivial screeching grass.
"Ah......" The original miserable voice of screaming and screaming finally ceased.
It's as if there is no breath anymore and it's dead!
One step, two steps, three steps......
It's finally here!
Mo Gongyin stood very close to the haystack, almost only five steps away to walk in, as soon as she got closer, she smelled some faint smell of blood inside, she was extremely disgusted to smell this fishy smell.
She endured the discomfort, opened her eyes wide and looked inside, the first thing that caught her eye was the bright red color, if it had to be the color, it might as well be the red blood.
The snow-covered ground was stained red with bright red blood, and the small furry things that were wriggling in black were all concentrated on that piece, and there were countless of them, as if they were gnawing on something!
She took a step closer in order to see better, and the next moment, the little thing inside was very sharp and clever, as if it had noticed her approaching aura. The groups that had been gathered together scattered in an instant, and they raised their little heads in the direction where she was, as if on guard, as if watching, and made a hissing sound.
This is a red flag.
Mo Gongyin stood in place and was also stunned, suddenly realized something, his pupils narrowed, and when he saw their sharp fangs, he took a step back in panic.
Sure enough, she guessed correctly, it was a man-eating rat.
They are very spiritual and intelligent, and when they sense the breath of someone, they start to move and shift their target. They were originally scattered, but suddenly crawled densely together, and their mouths kept hissing.
Mo Gongyin had only taken a step back, and she couldn't take a second step, because those devouring rats were crawling towards her in groups, extremely fast, and there was no gap at all.
Swish......
Her eyes were cold, and she quickly pulled out the red soft sword on her waist, trembling straight, tiptoe slightly, and the whole person flew up in mid-air and slashed out a sword light and sword shadow like the wind, and the crawling man-eating rats were repelled and scattered, fleeing in all directions.
Although they can eat people and are very sensitive, after all, they are just beasts, and they have no extra ability to resist, so they can only flee when they encounter danger!
Creak......
Those who were hit by the force of the sword blade were all dead, and the devouring rats behind them wanted to escape, but Mo Gongyin didn't give them this chance, and she kept dancing the soft sword in her hand while hanging in the air, the sword wind was sharp and changeable, and the moves were all deadly attacks.
In the end, there were only a few man-eating rats left, and she landed on her toes again, spun around and jumped up to slash them one by one.
The secret guard and Nancheng Ni who were watching from the side were shocked, they didn't expect Mo Gongyin's martial arts to be so high!
"Gong Yin." Nancheng Ni saw that there was no surviving man-eating rat and ran in the direction where Mo Gongyin was standing, and after coming to her side, he looked sideways at the terrifying picture in the haystack, and screamed in fright: "Ah......" hugged Mo Gongyin's neck tightly.
"Don't be afraid of ....." Mo Gongyin pulled Nancheng Ni and said softly, pulling her behind him, his eyes gentle.
At this time, the dark guard also came over, and when he saw the bloody scene in the haystack, he couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows and say nothing.
It's horrible, it's disgusting!
Mo Gongyin glanced inside, and on the white snow that was stained red with blood, there was only a skeleton skeleton with no flesh left that had been eaten by the devouring rats, and even the clothes on his body were so fine that they couldn't cover the bones.
How painful it is to think of a living person being gnawed to death by a bunch of little things like this!
It's creepy just to think about it, not to mention how scared and frightened the person who was bitten to death was when he was bitten by these man-eating rats.
She retracted her gloomy gaze and looked sideways at the dead man-eating rats, her heart was extremely angry, it was these damn things that made a life go away, and she took out the corpse Fen that she had been carrying with her from her arms.
"What is this?" Nancheng Ni saw that her expression was different, took out something from her waist, and asked curiously.
"Corpse Fen." Mo Gongyin simply spit out two words.
"What's that? What's the use. Nancheng Ni stared at the white porcelain bottle in Mo Gongyin's hand with a pair of eyes, frowning, I don't know what the so-called corpse Fen is?
"Destroy these man-eating rats." After Mo Gongyin said this, he turned around and handed the porcelain vase to the secret guard, looked at him and said solemnly: "You sprinkle all the powder in this porcelain vase on their bodies, or it won't be long before they turn into a pool of blood." But you keep a little, I'm still useful. ”
After hearing this, the dark guard reached out and took what she told him to do, walked over to the dead man-eaters, opened the porcelain bottle and poured the powder on their bodies, and the next second it was really as she said, making a snorting sound on the corpses of the man-eaters, and their corpses slowly decomposed into a pool of blood, merging with the snow-white ground.
It's like the hordes of man-eating rats that attack and bite people just now, it's just a dream, it never happened.
Nan Chengni saw this poison so powerful and terrifying for the first time, she couldn't help but close her eyes and stand beside Mo Gongyin, very close, but there was a difference between men and women, she just lightly touched Mo Gongyin's body, and didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary movements.
Now she can only rely on and trust Mo Gongyin. She always firmly believes that Mo Gongyin will protect her and take care of her.
After everything was done, Mo Gongyin took a closer look at the skeleton in the grass that had been eaten and only the skeleton remained, and only a helpless sigh remained. Originally, she wanted to bury the man, but there was no shovel, so she had to wait for the sky to snow again to cover it first, and she would call someone to deal with it when she got to the town.
So they didn't delay and advanced to Gaoping Town as soon as possible. It was almost late at night, and they finally arrived.
Every house in the town has oil lamps lit, and there are guards guarding the intersection into the town.
In the village chief's house in the town, Imperial Doctor Wu, Xia Yinxi, Gao Ran, and Prime Minister Jiang Cheng are all there.
"Princess, Your Highness? How did you guys get here? When Imperial Physician Wu heard that the guards had come to inform them that they were coming, he still didn't believe it, and when he saw the two of them enter the house, his face was full of surprise and joy.
The people in the house all stood in two rows and were ready to salute, Nancheng Ni walked in the front, came in and sat on the main seat, and the first sentence was to ask the situation in the town, "No need to be polite!" What's going on in the town now? Have you thought of a good way to deal with those man-eating rats? ”
Mo Gongyin followed behind her, and the secret guard was hidden, this was her last bargaining chip, and for the time being, she didn't want these people to know that she still had someone by her side.
And she couldn't guarantee that everyone in the room could be trusted.
Hearing that there was no need to salute, and everyone would not see each other, Imperial Physician Wu briefly summarized the situation in the town, and sighed: "No, in addition to destroying the villagers' villages, those black rats eat people when they see people, and eat when they see livestock, we don't dare to approach them at all, and when they appear in groups of thousands, we have no way to deal with them at all." With that, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Nancheng Ni's face sank when he heard this, he swept past the people present, and twisted his eyebrows, "Isn't there any other better way?" Can only watch those rats destroy the whole town? ”
There was silence in the room for a moment.
If there was a way, everyone would not be so anxious.
It's a cannibal mouse, or a group of tens of thousands of rats gathered together, not ordinary rats, and they can't be bitten alive by them.
Mo Gongyin stood in place with his hands in his hands and looked at the people in the room, secretly thinking that they might really be helpless.
"Princess, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, the old minister will come up with a way to solve it if he tries his best." It was Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, who had been silent and deep, he took a step forward, with a straight face, and said: "According to the old minister, these man-eating rats must have been deliberately raised, they are extremely spiritual and cunning. It never haunts late at night, but always appears during the day to find a target and eat it. ”
"Then what is the best solution for the Prime Minister?" Nan Chengni looked at Prime Minister Jiang Cheng and asked.
Speaking of the solution, Prime Minister Jiang pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "The old minister thinks that we should set a trap, find a lure person, lead them into the trap, and then burn them with fire." ”
It's easier said than done.
What is this trap? Who's going to be the bait?
Wu Zhuangyuan Gao Ran also agreed very much when he heard this, and said: "What the prime minister said is very true, you can also try, let's dig a deep pit, and then put the bait in it....."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the village chief, "We have thought of this method before, but it failed. Those man-eating rats are very perceptive, and they are not as simple as we think, besides, what do we use to bait? Do you want to use people? ”
was questioned by the village chief, Gao Ran was speechless for a while, he really wanted to use people as bait.
Speaking of people, who should be allowed to do it? No one agrees!
For a moment, there was silence in the room.
