The two men bypassed the black stone and continued to advance in the darkness. Gradually, an indiscernible voice of Hisisoso came from the front, and Mom froze the moment he realized it. He clenched his fists hard, grabbed and lifted his heavy legs, and followed Feige step by step. Despite the fear in his heart, he would never allow himself to watch his comrades go forward alone without stepping forward to help!

"It's not far ahead...... Last time, I didn't notice the rat barking, otherwise I wouldn't have stepped into the air and fell. ”

The collapse was just ahead, surrounded by a jumble of footprints and hand scratches, and then led to a footstep of large but swaying from side to side, leading from the collapse to the exit. It seems that Mom was indeed very panicked and struggled to climb up from below. Feige slowly approached the collapse, the dirt beneath his feet was unstable, and he could feel the cracks spreading and expanding inside the soil.

"Be careful, this should be in the middle of two rocks, with only dirt underfoot, and then a hollow. I kind of remember how I climbed up now. Be careful, those rats are not far below the hole. Don't step in the middle!"

Feiqi nodded: "yes, it looks like only the sides are safe." I'll go down from here, and you'll wait for me for a while, and don't go anywhere else. ”

Mom agreed, and he stepped onto the solid ground on the side of the rift and began to pull out the weapon he was carrying. The mace and dagger are relatively normal, and the hand crossbow is the standard equipment for monster hunters in Ice Peak Fortress, and only the fishing net is a relatively rare "weapon". "If you're caught up by the rats, I'll cast a net behind you, and we'll stop them all here. ”

"Just don't put it on me. Feige said to Mohm, "Mohm, I know this is a bit difficult, but please control yourself and try as much as you can, even when you are afraid." It is impossible for a rat to defeat a monster hunter, only fear is the enemy. ”

"I know, I'll try, be careful. ”

With the help of the rope of the air element, Feige slowly descended from the hole. Not far from his feet was a smooth passage with oval pebbles lying scattered along the road. Feige suspects that it was once an underground river, and that the prolonged impact of the water had created a pipe-like valley. Nowadays, the river is long gone, but the rocks are still flat, so you have to be very careful when you go up, and it is easy for people to lose their balance.

However, with the pull of the air elemental rope, Feiqi is not an ordinary person. He descended the pipe-like cavern, seeing many signs of destruction by Mohm's trampling along the way. He slipped under his feet because of his panic, causing him to go up and down here several times, and it's no wonder that he said that he struggled for a long time to get back up. Ahead, an abrupt hole appeared at the end of the passage, and countless rats squeaked and squeaked, converging into a noise that continued to reach Feige's ears.

Sure enough, it arrived at the place. Feige came to the entrance of the cave and looked down, and his vision through the darkness made him see the creepy scene. The rats were not illusions, but fat, fat and thousands of small gray and brown creatures huddled together, and the hole where Feige was located was less than two meters above their heads.

"What kind of rat is this, and why does it have such a short tail?" Feige was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had seen such a creature. He tried hard to recall, eliminated "Young Master Hall" and "Fork in the Road Demon", and found the answer in the memory of his previous life. These guys in front of me are more like bamboo rats that "can eat if you find a reason" rather than "mice".

If you look closely, the eyes of these "bamboo rats" are seriously degenerated, and there is no smart light in their white pupils. They huddled together, tilted their heads and sniffed around with their noses, and then scrambled in a certain direction. When they encounter a companion who does not get out of the way, they will also bite with their teeth that protrude from their lips. Overall, though, these guys don't look dangerous, and they're even a little cute (or tasty) when they're chubby.

Sure enough, there was only a small amount of feces in the place where the bamboo rats lived, and the smell did not leak out. If you look closely, the hole between Feiqi and the bamboo rat is surrounded by black stones, which just confines a certain magic circle inside. Feige knew that this black stone could cut off the connection between the mortal world and the heavenly realm, but for the first time, he discovered that it could also restrain the magic circle. It was the gap in the black stone that Feige could vaguely feel the fluctuation of mana.

Since Mom can fall down and climb up, then Feiqi with the air elemental rope is no problem. He gently lowered himself to avoid the murder scene where Mom was flattened by his ass, pushed away a few fat bamboo rats with his feet, and stood firmly on the ground, and sure enough, after coming down, the smell of bamboo rats came to his nose, and the sour impact was dizzying. Feige shook his head, pulled up the collar to cover his mouth and nose, and then took out the nasal plug from his pouch and put it on, and then relieved himself.

The bamboo rat squirmed, and soon climbed up and took over Feige's feet. This chubby creature is quite heavy, how can one weigh three or four pounds, and the whole body is warm. Feige looked around and found himself in an underground cave with a radius of thirty meters, surrounded by hundreds of bamboo rats. Aside from the hole in the top of his head, Feige didn't see any other entrances and exits at first glance, which obviously didn't make sense. Feige must be careful if there is a passage under his feet, or if there are hidden secret doors in the surrounding walls.

Feige waved his staff, and a faint light illuminated the bamboo rat cave. The stones above and around his head were all black stones, reflecting the light back, creating a point of light on each flat surface, corresponding to the glow of Feige's staff. As a result, countless small points of light formed on the surrounding planes, which looked like a starry sky against the background of the dark stones.

The spectacle was intoxicating, but it made the bamboo rats panic. Although their eyesight is degraded and they may not be able to see Fitch, they seem to respond to changes in light and darkness. The fat guys crowded into the corners of the room, stepping on the surface of Feige's feet, sometimes biting him on the ankle. Unable to bite through their boots and pants, the rats just told Feige to get out of the way in this way. So, he controlled the Qi elemental rope and hoisted himself into the air.

"Where did these guys get their food?" Feige used a rope to control his movements, searching the cavern. Before finding the passage, he found a hidden spell rune on one of the walls. It is the rune of the eleven creators, and the combination means "illumination". The mana fluctuations that Fei Qi felt were emanating from this rune, indicating that it had fallen into disrepair, and it would continue to consume and waste mana during non-working periods, which was the same as leakage.

"This rune spell looks ancient!" Feiqi could see the problem at a glance. "It's a rune glowing spell, this is long gone! The goddess's glowing spell only needs four runes, even if it's a folk spell, it won't exceed eight. When did this rune come about?"

At this moment, the dilapidated "leaking" rune actually lit up, which indicated that there was mana flowing in it. The runes emitted an egg-yellow glow, and a universe of yellow stars was reflected on the blackstone walls. The bamboo rats hula suddenly divided into two piles and shrank in two corners of the burrow, leaving most of the ground to be vacated. Feige scratched his head and put away the light of his staff.

When only one light remains, the bamboo rats regroup into a group. On the vacant ground, the few droppings of bamboo rats are clearly visible. Feige probably understood that the glowing runes might be some kind of domestication control system, and the bamboo rats got out of the burrows so that the keepers could clean up. Thinking of this, Feige waved his staff and cast a spell to create a curtain of illusion that projected the scene behind him in front of him, so that he could safely hide behind.

Soon a stone wall receded and then slid sideways, revealing the secret door. The secret door was right next to the glowing rune, and even if it wasn't exposed, Feige would be able to spot it in a little while. With the sound of light footsteps, a beautiful black-haired girl of about one meter six walked out of the secret door. She has a dark complexion, and her short hair bounces gently as she walks, making her look playful and cute. However, her appearance is full of comics, the tip of her nose is so small that she can barely see it, but she has a pair of oversized black eyes, which are big, round and have no whites!

That girl is definitely not a human being, how can a normal human have that kind of eyes, let alone long legs that occupy more than half of her height! The calves are thin and the thighs are thick, the waist is almost the same, and with slightly wide shoulders and a relatively small head, it seems to have stepped out of a world of painting style. Feige frowned, as if even the "well-informed" Fork Demon had no information about this creature in his memory.

The girl was wrapped in black silk and then covered with a brown leather shirt and shorts. Judging from the workmanship of clothing, she should live in a society with a developed handicraft industry, and her aesthetic point of view is very close to that of human beings. This pretty little girl, with a broom and dustpan in her hand, sang a melodious tune, and began to clean as soon as she entered.

At first, Fei Qi couldn't understand the little girl's singing, but as he stared at the other party's soul fire, he gradually understood. I have to say that this ability of the Contract Demon is very useful.

"I love my job, it's not too tiring, it just doesn't smell good. Little girl, you have to remember to wash yourself well, so that you can be loved by others. Oh, fat rat, how nice it would be if you were usually as good as at the dinner table......"

It seems clear that this is a place where bamboo rats are raised, and an intelligent race with art lives underground and is never known. What is certain, however, is that they have souls and self-reliant habits, and do not seem to be the aggressive, predatory race.

The little girl cleaned briskly, and a sticky incense was lit on her dustpan, which exuded a faint fragrance, which seemed to lighten the smell of the bamboo rats. And the red light of the incense head can drive the bamboo rat away, so as not to delay her cleaning. She hummed along the way, quickly clearing most of the ground and walking to the bottom of where Fitch was hiding.

"Huh, why does it feel a little wrong?" the little girl looked up, her round swarthy eyes looking upwards, swept past Feiqi, and then saw the hole in the ceiling. "Oh yes, what's wrong here? Oh yes, a lot of rats have been stoned to death!"

It can be seen that this little girl's eyesight is average, otherwise she would have seen the hole when she entered the door. Feige looked at the ground, and the traces left by Mom before had been trampled clean by the bamboo rats that were crowding around, so the little girl didn't know that anyone had come.

With a sad expression, she swept up the remains of the bamboo rats, complaining about the shivering fat creatures hiding on the sidelines. "You are so stupid, don't you know how to hide? How pointless it is to be stoned to death like this! Is this called waste......? If it weren't for your favorite food, I would have reprimanded you as hard as my mother taught me!"

Feige couldn't help but laugh and continued to observe as he maintained the spell. His full view could see outside through the secret door, and a curving underground corridor stretched from the doorway to both sides. Incense was lit on the walls of the corridor at intervals, and the red bits of light turned into a red cosmic starry sky in the black stones overhead. No wonder no bamboo rats will run out, they are most afraid of red light, so they will not approach the gate at all.

It can be seen that there are several similar secret doors in the hallway, and there is a sign hanging in the doorway, which uses an ancient script, which is supposed to date back to the time of the Creator. Luckily, the Fork in the Road Demon understood this kind of writing, and he remembered using it to sign a contract. "Spice 42", this is the name of the room where Fei Qi is, could it be that there are at least 41 such breeding rooms?

While Feige was trying to exhaust the Hawkeye Meditation and try to look farther away, the little girl finished sweeping. She stood under the hole, picking up the gravel from the ground and placing it in the palm of her hand, as if she was pondering something. "Maybe my mom will praise me, after all, I've grown up!"

When she finished talking to herself, she held a smaller gravel in both hands to her lips and puffed out her cheeks. Suddenly, countless white filaments erupted from between her reddish lips, enveloping the gravel and flying towards the breach. Spider Silk!Feige looked at the scene in amazement. The little girl spewed out spider silk and stuck to the crack twice, so she fixed a piece of gravel to the gap. She nodded in satisfaction and bent down to pick up the second piece, only to find that the silk was breaking rapidly.

"Oh, it still doesn't work, do you have to wait until you grow up to stick to it?" I wanted my mother to praise ......" The little girl looked a little sad, her lower lip pursed forward, and her two big eyes stared at the falling gravel. However, the spider silk on one side of the stone broke first, and the other side was still standing on the ceiling, so it flung to the side like a pendulum.

It hit Fitch's illusion barrier, and the illusion rippled and swayed, and it was immediately discovered.

"Huh, there's something!" the little girl pointed to the ceiling. "What's going on? It's ......."

Fitch was helpless, dissolved the illusion, and then used the air elemental rope to hang himself and slowly descended. He smiled the most kindly and safely, and spoke in the language of the little girl in the gentlest and friendly voice: "Hello, I have no hostility, but I fell through the hole." I'll compensate the crushed rats. ”

"Humanoid male spider?" the little girl stared at Feiqi's qi elemental rope closely, she obviously misunderstood something, and suddenly became extremely excited. "I found out! This is mine! I'm the luckiest!

Feige covered his forehead, the little girl's voice had already come out, he could have knocked her out to avoid this, but he really couldn't do it.
