Act V: The Mountain King Bamboo Deer
The environment here is good, there should be rats living here, Chen Tu climbed to the treetops and looked at the whole hill and said in his heart.
The mountain packs here are only a few hundred meters high, but large and small mountain packs connect the entire region into a single mountain range.
Generally, rats live in areas with abundant materials, so Chen Tu thought about it and felt the need to go to the bamboo forest in the distance.
Only rats followed, because they were not familiar with the terrain here, and there was a certain degree of danger.
There is no path on the bamboo forest in front, indicating that no one often comes here, Chen Tu is very careful to step into the land of the bamboo forest, because some predators have a very sensitive sense of smell, Chen Tu does not want to lose his life because of his carelessness.
"Let's take a closer look to see if there are any rat dwellings nearby."
Chen Tu whispered, his eyes still looking around from time to time, for fear that danger would approach.
"Definitely, because I can already smell them."
Rat said firmly. Then he walked over to a bamboo shoot that had just peeked its small horns.
Picked up a bamboo leaf from the ground, put it around his nose and sniffed it, then handed it to Chen Tu, motioning for Chen Tu to smell it.
Can my mouse nose perceive this information?
Chen Tu took it suspiciously, put it next to his nose and sniffed hard, but he didn't feel like a rat.
"Maybe my nose isn't sensitive enough." Chen Tu shrugged his shoulders and said, then he threw the bamboo leaves on the ground.
This time it was the rat's turn to be surprised, the rat's nose couldn't sense the breath of his companion's existence?
It was hard for the rat to believe, but the rat didn't want to know too much.
"There's a hole in them not far away." Rat Da pointed to a tall, straight bamboo, because it was a concentration of smells, and it was clear that the rats had entered the hole.
"Let's go, then."
Chen Tu was not worried that the rats in the cave would pose a threat to them, after all, they were rats who wanted to do great things, and they still had to have some courage.
"Stop!"
Before Chen Tu could get close to the entrance of the cave, a rat standing guard there blocked the second rat's way.
"Who is the rat? Quickly report the name. Then, he flashed his sharp claws.
To Chen Tu's surprise, the rat's claws were also inlaid with a metal shell, which looked cold and shiny, which immediately increased the danger of the rat's claws by several levels.
It seems that he has underestimated the danger of this world, and Chen Tu has repositioned his cognition and quickly walked out of the feeling of surprise.
Chen Tu stepped forward and bowed, and said in a crepe manner, "Dare to ask what kind of place is this?" ”
"This bamboo forest is the territory of our king bamboo deer." The rat standing guard said proudly.
Chen Tu smiled secretly, he really could meet the King of the Mountain anywhere.
But I'm here to find helpers, but if it's a group of helpers who don't listen to commands, it's not okay.
This mountain king must be sorted out well.
"How many rat people are under your king's command?" Chen Tu asked straight to the point.
"Not much, not much, eighty rats. Within a radius of a few miles, we have the greatest power. The rat standing guard proudly pointed to the entrance of his cave and said.
"Please also ask this rat brother to tell the king of your family, and say that Chen Rat, the commander of the house, wants to see him." Chen Rat made up nonsense.
"House Commander? Why haven't you heard of it? The rat standing guard was very confused, but the visitor was a guest, so he went straight to report the incident.
After a while, the rat who had gone to report returned to the entrance of the cave, "Please come with me, two of you." ”
Chen Tu thanked him and followed the rat into the hole, and the rat also followed him in.
The entrance to the cave is not a fortification, it is built in all directions. Instead, it was like a village, and not long after entering, the whole cave opened up, and there were three roads in it.
"The one on the left is where we store our grain, and the one in the middle is where our king lives. The one on the right is where we usually live. ”
The mouse leading the way pointed to the road ahead and enthusiastically introduced Chen Tu.
Chen Tu also observed the surroundings very carefully, and found that the cave house here is also quite large-scale, and it seems that this so-called bamboo deer still has two brushes.
The three rats came all the way to the residence of the bamboo deer, and found that this was a passage to go up, Chen Tu still had a certain perception of the geographical height, and found that when he was about to reach the surface, the road gradually flattened out.
"King, the rat has brought." The mouse leading the team saluted forward, and there was a mouse looking at a book in front of him, listening to the tone of the mouse leading the team, it should be a bamboo deer.
"You stand down first." Zhulu waved his hand and said.
Looking at the middle-aged mouse in front of him, his figure was a little bloated, obviously he was blessed, Chen Tu did not slack off, and introduced himself and said, "In Xia Chen Mouse, from Wucheng." ”
"Houses? I haven't heard of it. Zhulu put down the book in his hand and took a closer look at the young mouse in front of him, according to his years of experience, Chen Tu did have an extraordinary temperament.
"It doesn't matter what the title is, the important thing is that I'm there."
Chen Tu said straight to the point, since he came to sleep in the bamboo deer, it was natural to have some places that could impress the bamboo deer.
The bamboo deer in front of him must have experienced a lot of things, otherwise he wouldn't have read the book with it. Chen Tu thought to himself.
"I don't think Your Excellency wants to be in a safe corner, otherwise, you wouldn't have picked up the book to read." Chen Tu tried to convince Zhulu.
"I'm a good king here, why should I believe you?"
Chen Tu's words, Zhulu does have some ideas, but he needs to test Chen Tu.
Although Chen Tu is not a person who is good at observing words and feelings, the blazing light in Zhulu's eyes can still be seen.
Chen Tu thought for a while, and then said, "It's not a secret, when I was a teenager, I traveled all over the world, and went to the rat land in the Far East, where there are many cities and developed science and technology, which is really the paradise of my rat clan, and I am also lamented that the rat clan has this holy land, so I studied hard, and studied in the rat university for six years, and felt the backwardness of my hometown, so I returned here." ”
After Chen Tu said this, he also secretly admired himself, but he didn't expect that he would brag without changing his face.
But he is also a human being, and Chen Tu still has confidence in saying these words.
"Have you been to the Far East?"
Zhulu's eyes lit up instantly. walked to Chen Tu's side and waited for Chen Tu to confirm again.
"I did practice there."
Chen Tu nodded in confirmation, full of the temperament that he had seen the world but was not shocked when he traveled far away.
"I've only seen the Far East in books."
Zhulu was very disappointed, and he muttered, "That may really be the world." ”
But the next moment, Zhulu was full of hope again, and he said, "You don't know the situation around us yet, do you?"
"I just came back, and I really don't know." Chen Tu had an inquiring expression.
"Our place is called Cuckoo District, which actually belongs to the Yuemo Country, but because it is a remote area of the country, the land is vast and sparse, and the Yuemo Country has not sent officials here. The Moon and Mo Kingdom has been in civil war, and I haven't been to the capital of the Moon and Mo Country for a long time, so I don't know what the situation is now. ”
Zhulu's words shocked Chen Tu, but thinking about it, since he can become a mouse, it is normal for a mouse to establish a country, and it seems that the way of the world has changed.
