Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Thorn's Nest
After discovering that the mutated spiny rat could bring so much experience to him, Liu Ling's walking pace became brisk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally, all he wanted was to finish this task quickly, and then go back to the mercenary union to get other tasks and quickly increase his mercenary level.
But the reason why he wants to increase his mercenary level is just to take on some tasks that can improve his strength.
However, at this time, these mutated thorny rats alone can at least upgrade him to two levels, so Liu Ling is not in a hurry to complete this task now.
At this time, a mutated thorny rat appeared in Liu Ling's field of vision again, so he sped up and ran towards the thorny rat......
……
Ten minutes later, Liu Ling stood in the middle of a field of cotton stems as far as the eye could see, feeling that he could no longer hunt the spiny rat in this primitive way.
Because in the last ten minutes, he had only killed a dozen mutated thorns.
Don't think that killing a dozen spiny rats in ten minutes is already a lot, you must know that Liu Ling didn't even take ten seconds to kill a mutated spiny rat, so Liu Ling thinks that his current efficiency is a bit too low.
The reason why the efficiency is so low is that those mutated spiny rats will scatter and flee after sensing Liu Ling's approach, and Liu Ling can only choose one of them to pursue.
In this way, although there are many mutated thorny rats in this cotton stem field, Liu Ling can only kill a small part of them.
Even if Liu Ling is not in a hurry to complete the task now, I don't know how much time it will take to clean up the mutated spiny rats in these dozens of acres of cotton stem fields with such slow killing efficiency.
So Liu Ling decided to change his thinking.
It is impossible for so many spiny rats to stay in this cotton stem field all day, and Liu Ling feels that this cotton stem field is just a temporary feeding place for them, and they will leave after the cotton stalks here are almost eaten by them.
So these spiny rats will definitely have their nests, and as long as they can find their nests, all it takes is a fire to get rid of them all.
Thinking of this, Liu Ling locked his spiritual power onto a spiny rat closest to him.
Then he began to run quickly towards the thorn rat, and the thorn rat sensed Liu Ling's approach and fled to the side in a hurry like the other thorns.
Although Liu Ling could knock down the stinging rat with a shattering fire with a few quick runs, Liu Ling didn't do so this time.
He deliberately pressed his pace, keeping a short distance from the stinging rat.
The mutated spiny rat fled around the cotton stalk field like a headless fly under Liu Ling's pursuit.
Could it be that it is just running aimlessly, and is not ready to escape back to its nest? Liu Ling observed the mutated spiny rat's irregular escape route, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
No, this kind of stinging rat shouldn't have such a high IQ! It stands to reason that the first reaction of such animals when they encounter danger is not to flee back to their homes?
Could it be that he underestimated the IQ of this stinging rat?
Just when Liu Ling doubted his decision, the spiny rat that ran in front of Liu Ling turned around and disappeared into a cluster of lush grass.
This is it!
Liu Ling's spirit was lifted, and he used his spiritual power to follow the mutated thorny rat into the grass.
Sure enough, as Liu Ling expected, there was a hole in the grass.
When the stinger entered the hole, it was much faster than when it was on the ground, and it ran forward quickly.
However, Liu Ling's spiritual power extended much faster than the speed of the thorn mouse, and he directly left the thorn rat behind, and continued to explore forward with his spiritual power.
But Liu Ling discovered a strange thing, his spiritual power had entered the cave for dozens of meters, but the cave was still only wide enough to accommodate a mutated spiny rat.
In addition, except for the spiny rat that kept running towards the depths, Liu Ling did not find the second one.
After a while, Liu Ling's spiritual power extended to the maximum distance that could be extended, but he still couldn't find other spiny rats, and the spiny rats that he drove into quickly left the range that his spiritual power could cover and continued to run towards the depths.
What the hell! The structure of this cave is completely different from the structure of the cave in Liu Ling's cognition.
In Liu Ling's impression, the caves of these underground creatures all have passages that extend in all directions, and as long as they go a little deeper, the internal space of their caves will become larger for more companions to live.
But the cave of this spiny rat is hundreds of meters long just by entering the tunnel, and this long passage is not connected to any other passages, it seems that there is only one entrance to the nest of the spiny rat.
It is said that there are three holes of cunning rabbits, and if there is only one entrance to the nest of this kind of spiny rat, it would be too stupid, right?
If that's the case, then wouldn't these stinging rats all become their own meals?
Just as Liu Ling was thinking, a spiny rat that was a little smaller than the one just now quickly rushed towards the direction of the cave.
It obviously didn't expect a human to stand in front of its lair, and when it saw Liu Ling, it hurriedly wanted to turn around and run away.
But it was too late, and it had already entered the attack range of Liu Ling's Shattering Fire. The moment Liu Ling saw the mutated thorny rat, he used a shattering fire on it, and a flame flew out of Liu Ling's palm and drilled into the body of the thorny rat.
The macer began to scream from its mouth as it fell, and tried to drag its burn-and-burn body to the side.
Liu Ling didn't give it a chance to escape, and waited until the shattered fire had cooled down and then dealt another blow to the stinging rat.
It seems that this is really the nest of the thorny rat, otherwise why would that thorny rat run here just now?
Liu Ling walked over to the stinging rat that he had killed, pinched a small tuft of hair on its body and lifted it to the side of the burrow, where he was now ready to wait for the rabbit.
However, after waiting at the entrance of the cave for more than ten minutes, Liu Ling found that there were no spiny rats coming out of the cave, and no other spiny rats were rushing towards this place.
Liu Ling had been observing the situation within a radius of 100 meters with his spiritual power, although there were indeed spiny rats approaching in this direction, but when they were still a few dozen meters away from him, they stopped one after another and turned around and left without hesitation, as if they had sensed his existence.
Sighing, Liu Ling felt that it should be that the spiny rat that was killed by himself just now warned his companion before he died, or that the dead spiny rat had some special smell on its body, so that the stinging rat that smelled this smell did not dare to approach.
But it doesn't matter, now that you know where these stinging rats are in their nests, it's much easier to get rid of them......
