As soon as these words came out, everyone stood up in shock, there were many experienced mercenaries and adventurers present, and the number of times they went underground to explore was not less, and they knew a little about the rat tide.

If it's a small rat tide, it's okay, there are so many people here, and together they should be able to resist it, in case it's a large rat tide, enough to drown everyone in this underground world.

"Guys, block this passage first!" Liu Qinghe was the first to react, at this time it was too late to investigate whether what this person said was true or false, once there was really a rat tide, everyone present would not be able to get out.

However, the diameter of the entrance to a passage is more than two meters, which is so easy to block, especially since there is nothing suitable at the scene, and even the gravel is small pieces.

A group of people used their hands and feet together, and they didn't even pile up a decent obstacle.

An Xu also heard it, weighed it in his heart, and said, "Go, go and help!" ”

He had only taken two steps forward when a dense hissing sound sounded in the passage, and even the ground shook slightly, and many fine stones swayed.

Several mercenaries who were throwing stones into the passage were also frightened by this situation, throwing away their belongings and retreating one after another.

"Everyone, pay attention, battle alert, trouble the mages of each team to gather in front." Liu Qinghe pulled out his long sword and shouted loudly.

Liu Qinghe has a certain appeal, under his mobilization, many mages gathered up, and as soon as they stood up, several swarthy gold-devouring rats came out of the passage, and there was a black press behind them, obviously a lot.

"Fire spells, uninterrupted release, don't stop!" Liu Qinghe shouted, and quickly dealt with the few gold-devouring rats that rushed to the front.

'Boom-' A huge pillar of fire burned in the mouth of the cave, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daylight.

Through the flames, countless gold-devouring rats could be seen pouring out of the passage, like an outpouring flood, and many people were already frightened by this scene.

"Squeak...... These gold devouring rats let out a terrible cry through the pillar of fire, their weak individual combat power could not withstand such a spell at all, and they were quickly burned into a lump of charcoal, and even the smell of burnt paste filled the air.

But the number of gold-eating rats is too much, even if a large area is burned, the gold-eating rats behind are still pouring out, the rat tide has been formed, and the gold-eating rats in front of them cannot stop, even if the front is a fearful flame, they can only rush forward under the torrent,

The pillar of fire lasted for about four or five seconds, and there were signs of gradually extinguishing, and this spell alone burned dozens of gold-devouring rats, and no one could be happy before such a result, and it can be seen from this sign that the scale of the rat tide will definitely not be small.

Before the pillar of fire was extinguished, another mage added another spell to temporarily seal the entrance to the cave, and the teams of these big forces would generally bring one or two mages with them, and the strength would not be too low at least, and even several mages had already crossed the hurdle of the four rings, and under the bombardment in turn, not a single gold-devouring rat was released.

However, the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for the sound of the gold devouring rat to sound in another adjacent passage, and these murderous guys were so large that they could cover the range of two passages.

At this moment, even those mages began to panic, after all, it was a temporary team, and there was a mistake immediately under the distraction, a spell was not connected, and more than a dozen gold-devouring rats immediately poured out, frantically rushing in all directions.

Fortunately, these mages were guarded by warriors, and the more than a dozen gold-devouring rats were quickly killed.

However, the gold devouring rats in the other passage were already very close, and since most of the mages had been transferred before, it was a little too late to reassign them to two teams now, and before they could take their places, the tide of gold devouring rats had already rushed out.

Those who were closest to the passage were immediately besieged by the gold devouring rats, at this time, agility was no longer of any use, and each of them was entangled by more than a dozen, or even dozens of gold devouring rats, so dense that their bodies were full, and there was no room to dodge at all.

Warriors in armor are okay, the thick protection can be resisted for the time being, only a few exposed parts are needed, and those who do not have armor are affected, the teeth and claws of the gold eater can easily tear apart the leather armor this equipment, and in a very short time, they can tear out a series of hideous wounds on their bodies.

As more and more Gold Eaters poured in, screams rang out from the crowd, and when they spread to the mage team on the other side, these mages were visibly severely disturbed, and as a result, the two passages were lost together, and in just a few minutes, a large area was covered in black.

When the Gold Eater and the people are mixed up, the Mage is basically useless, unless he attacks with his companions.

Without the suppression of the mage, the Gold Eater Rat became even more rampant, and there were more Gold Devouring Rats coming out of the passage, and there was no telling how many there were behind.

"Everyone move to the wall, keep their formation to resist, don't run away privately!"

"The shield warrior goes up, the others are concentrated, reduce the area of the attack, the mage is inside, and after the collection is completed, cast a spell group attack outside!"

……

Fortunately, few of the people who were able to get here were novices, and after a short period of turmoil, the leaders of the various forces began to stand up and direct the battle, and small defensive circles were formed, and the scene gradually stabilized.

But there are also people who don't listen to the command and want to escape first, but how can they escape the speed of the rat swarm, one by one they fall into the black torrent, and they are quickly drowned, and they can't even turn up a little wave.

As time passed, the power of the rat tide began to manifest itself further, and soon even An Xu's side was attacked.

Many teams had already quietly entered the passage and began to retreat as soon as the gold-devouring rat appeared, and most of the rest thought that those people with big forces could block it, so they were stunned for a moment, only to find that they couldn't leave.

These small teams were too chaotic to organize an effective resistance, and as soon as they came into contact with the rats, there were huge casualties.

"Let's withdraw too, we can't stop it at all." Xu Wei looked at the terrifying gold-devouring rats, and her face was long gone.

An Xu observed the surrounding situation, as Xu Wei said, these scattered teams couldn't last long at all, first, there was no tacit understanding, and secondly, there were no top masters in charge, those big forces in the defensive circle, a high-level warrior could hold a direction alone, with their tenacious physique, they could even withstand the bite of the gold devouring rat in a short time.

On his side, the scene has become a mess, and at this time, the gold-devouring rat has not been completely surrounded, and it will be the beginning of the nightmare when the rat tide completely spreads here.

The only way to survive is to retreat.

"Let's go, everyone follow me towards the passage I came in before, the gold eater's sense of smell is very sensitive, even if you escape into other passages, you will be caught up, only the broken bridge of that passage can stop the gold eater rat's footsteps." An Xu had already thought of a way out in an instant.

After speaking, An Xu no longer hesitated, opened the spike form of the divine machine shield, and crashed in the direction of the passage, and the gold devouring rats that pounced along the way were all strung on the shield by the long spikes.

"Help me, I'm entangled." Beanie shouted, and several gold-eating rats bit at his clothes, making it impossible for him to break free.

Hongluan took a step forward and waved a silver light, instantly cutting these gold-devouring rats into two sections, and then protected behind the team and took on the task of breaking off.

A gold-devouring rat suddenly jumped high, landed on An Xu's arm, and bit a tooth mark on the hard armor, An Xu directly slapped it out, and swept away several gold-devouring rats that were blocking the way with his shield, and strode forward.

Not far from An Xu, a thief screamed and was thrown to the ground by the gold devouring rat, and in just two breaths, he was gnawed into a pile of minced meat.

An Xu saw that his scalp was numb, and he continued to move forward with his head hidden, but fortunately, the passage was not far from them, and soon they moved to the door of the passage.

Before entering the passage, An Xu also glanced back, only to see that a huge square had been completely submerged by the black rat colony.
