Chapter 215: Tom's Crisis
……
Goose-feathered snowflakes spread densely in the sky, and over time they spread a thick layer of snow on the concrete, on the grass, and on the evergreens that lined the road. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Especially in the far suburbs, where few people walk, everything seems to fall into the deepest slumber in this snow-covered field.
Today, however, looks a bit unexpected......
Although the subtle starlight through the clouds is not bright, it is enough to reflect the general outline of people and animals walking in the snow in this white and shiny world. At this time, a giant black mouse the size of a puppy was arching back and forth in this ice and snow.
Of course, a rat of this size will not be a normal creature. If you look closely, you can clearly see that it has a long mouse mouth with razor-like fangs.
Moreover, it is able to move freely in this cold environment, and it can be seen that its body is far more than that of ordinary rodents.
The slender nose, which is more than ten centimeters long, is distributed with olfactory receptor cells that are tens of thousands of times that of ordinary humans. It shook in the air, collecting the faint smell that had been buried and covered by snowflakes.
Suddenly, its eyes lit up, and it let out a few hisses, and ran towards a snow-covered pit in the distance.
Despite its short legs, it runs in the difficult snow, but the frequency of its movements is surprisingly fast, even so fast that ordinary people can't see their legs clearly.
It was like a black arrow. , in the blink of an eye, it had already flown out seven or eight meters away, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the dim sight...... Behind it, there were hundreds of giant rats of the same size, and when they heard the sound, they also surrounded the target from all directions......
Dense scarlet eyes, criss-crossed white teeth, and shiny black mouse hair...... All of them make people feel cold in their hearts.
I'm afraid that even a group of muscular men will turn around and run away when they encounter them!
"Meow~~!"
An angry cat meow came from the pit, followed by a gray feline figure jumping up from the pit. Moreover, its body brought up afterimages, and with a speed more exaggerated than those of the black giant proboscis rats, it broke through in one direction.
But the reason why the cat is fleeing is not because it is afraid of the terrifying giant mice, but because the truly terrifying opponent is still behind......
Woo~~~~! Woo~~~~!
The loud sound of a horn full of desolate, ancient, mysterious tones came from behind the group of rats.
With the sound of swift, powerful footsteps, a muscular man bare-chested, with a feather on his head and a horn around his neck, galloped out of the snow at a speed that would shame any athlete.
Crunch~,Crunch~......
Strong legs, stepping on the snow in a series of footprints that are more straight forward. The big man's body squatted slightly, and he stepped out of the air in one step, his body was like a squirrel gliding in the air, and he suddenly leaped several meters high in the air.
"Hahaha~~! It's the mutant cat with a bounty of 50,000 gold coins!
It's really a lot of luck, I didn't expect so many people from the Nighthawk Mercenary Group to not find it, and they actually bumped into my hand. …… Sure enough, the number of pets is enough, which is the real king! ”
After seeing the gray figure, the shirtless man seemed to see a pile of gold coins that could run. The intense emotions of excitement and greed made his eyes glow like a wolf's green.
"Chase~~! All tm~ give me a catch-up. Whoever can catch it for me, I'll feed ten catties of monster meat tonight! ”
The druid's body in the air had not yet fallen, and a silver wolf-shaped figure leaped out of the snowdrift behind him. and caught the falling big man in mid-air. And carried him at a speed that even a cheetah could not reach, running wildly in the snow......
The silver giant wolf's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty wolf nature, and its limbs flew and slashed, bringing out a large number of snowflakes backwards each time.
It was not a professional mount, and the wolf's body was constantly rising and falling as it ran, forcing the big man to cling to the white fur around its neck. But even so, the distance between the two sides is still getting closer......
The speed of the silver giant wolf is too fast~!
Hearing the approaching horn behind him, Tom had tapped every bit of potential in his body to the extreme. But the giant wolf's agility is not lower than Tom's, and coupled with its size advantage, one step is equivalent to Tom's running three or four steps in a row.
Moreover, there is also a clear hierarchical oppression on both sides.
After all, Tom is just a domestic pet equivalent to a level 10 professional. Even though it used to eat and drink spicy food with Qi Siyuan every day, and it grew a lot of attributes, it was still extremely dangerous when it faced the summoning druid profession that had crossed the elite level.
Tom had no choice but to avoid the important and start to delay the time when he was caught up by the giant wolf in a zigzag pattern. But the way it walked, it was inevitably surrounded by the group of giant rats.
"Meow~~!"
Tom skilfully dodged with a feint, swinging his alloy claws to disembowel a giant rat in his way. But a proboscis giant rat that pounced on him from the side bit a piece of gray flesh on his back. It couldn't help but let out a scream in pain.
It rolls in the snow, trying to get rid of the giant rat that has bitten on it. …… But the giant rat's eyes carried a fierce and fierce murderous aura that was not afraid of death, but it still bit it stubbornly, unwilling to let go.
Not only that, but the powerful kinetic energy brought by Tom's rolling caused the giant rat to bite off a piece of flesh and skin from its body.
The blood of Goodo~, which remained along Tom's gray fur, dyed its body red, but Tom did not dare to pause. Because once it stops, I'm afraid that in an instant, it will be swarmed by this group of giant rats that have grown up eating monster meat and tear to pieces.
It was the harrowing experience it had countless times by escaping death from the hands of such a semi-demonic creature, with blood and wounds. As for how much the druid man had to restrain these half-demonic creatures, Tom never had much hope.
"Bastard~! It's all said, don't bite it, don't bite it. You stupid brute with a greedy mouth, why can't you understand?! Looking for death......"
The druid man on the wolf's back was furnished when he saw Tom's wounds. I'm afraid it will die from blood loss.
But the effect of his order was not very good, and the giant rat that had bitten off a piece of Tom's flesh, as if he had not heard his words at all, kept chewing on the piece of flesh in his mouth with its long mouth, swallowing the flesh into his stomach, and continued to catch up with the large army in front of him under the domination of bloodthirsty and greedy desire.
"Damn it~! Recently, the amount of feeding has been too much, and these demon rats have gotten out of control a bit. It seems that after this time, there will be another batch of cultivation, grandma's~, which is another lot of money.
Luckily, these things are only for support, and I never counted on them in a head-on fight. ”
The druid threw a green rattan ball in his hand in front of the giant rat that had just been disobedient.
The sphere rolled up by the fierce poisonous flower vine was like a python at the moment it landed, wrapping around the giant rat's body and injecting a large amount of magic energy toxin into its body.
Click~, click~The broken bones sounded, and they kept coming out under the strangulation of the vines. The giant rat only let out a scream, and the vine curled it into a pile of rotten flesh. The rotten flesh flows into the ground like a liquid and disappears in an instant......
However, the screams of the demon rat before it died made a small half of the demon rat chasing Tom in front of him stop in an instant. They turned and looked at the druid on the wolf's back with their scarlet rat eyes, but they didn't attack directly.
"Look~, what to see? Give me all chase! If you let it run, I'll chop you all up and feed it to the wolves. ”
Although the druid used words to drink, it didn't work very well. These half-demonized rats are actually a little out of control...... It wasn't until he finally blew the horn around his neck that the rats turned after Tom with a look of great reluctance.
"Isn't it useless~?"
Tom took a moment to look back at the group of giant rats that continued to besiege him. With a not low IQ, I thought silently in my heart.
Actually, the injury just now was intentional.
After escaping several waves of encirclement and suppression with this tactic, it knew very well how attractive its flesh and blood were to this group of demonic creatures.
As long as the ordinary half-demonic creature asks about the smell of blood on its body, most of them will be overwhelmed by the strong desire to eat, and will turn to attack the owner at close range.
But the degree of demonization of this group of demon rats encountered this time is obviously shallow. …… Either their owners know how to restrain themselves, or this person is actually a poor bastard who can't even afford monster meat.
In its estimation, it is most likely the latter...... I have no choice but to blame it for coming out to forage for food this time, and it has bad luck!
The chase in the snow continues...... For the next five minutes, even as Tom ran wildly, he was surrounded by the giant rats and the giant wolf summons behind him.
"Meow~~!"
Facing the imminent one, Tom arched his back, his hair standing on end, and the frightened rats in front of him stopped their bodies on alert. But the moment they stopped, seven or eight bone spears suddenly stabbed upwards from the snow. Dressed these demon rats as sugar gourds.
Don't miss the opportunity...... Tom didn't hesitate to escape towards the gap that had suddenly been inexplicably torn.
"Who~? Who dares to rob my wolf Dejiang Jinyuan's prey? ”
Seeing that the meat in his mouth had run away again, the druid riding on the wolf's back had an extremely ugly face.
"Hmph~, you idiot, what are you doing so loudly. Once discovered by the Nighthawk group, no one has a share. ”
With a slightly hoarse and low voice, a necromancer in black robe slowly walked out from behind a large tree not far away. At the same time, seven or eight white skull frames and a group of skeleton mages with various magical brilliance flashed on their bodies jumped out of the snowdrifts on the ground.
The group of demon rats, who did not have much reason, swooped down on the skeletons in half of their numbers, even without the druid's orders, the moment they spotted the enemy. Instead, the druid and the giant wolf under him cautiously did not move.
"A swarm of disgusting bed bugs. …… Stomp them to death for me! ”
Seeing this group of giant rats rushing towards him, a trace of disdain flashed on the necromancer's pale face.
When it comes to controlling summons, druids are also subservient to necromancers. What's more, this group of demon rats is just cannon fodder for the road that has been artificially fed, and they are not even summoned.
The red damage deepened the curse magic, and I don't know when it had already enveloped the head of the giant rat that rushed towards it. The skeletons armed with skull scythes had chopped more than a dozen giant rats into rotten meat with just a few simple slashes.
Although the rest of the giant rats were laying on the skeletons and gnawing hard, most of the skeletons did not lose even a tenth of their health, except for a few bone fragments or a few ribs removed.
Boom boom boom ~~~!
Red, Green, White, Blue...... Fire, toxins, lightning, frost and ...... of various skeleton mages Magical energy, covering several skeleton warriors, only blasted the giant rats into a pile of indistinguishable pieces along with the skeleton warriors.
And the necromancer moved his fingers towards the ground, which was still intact demon rat corpses. Crackle~crackle~ The cracking sound of flesh and bones cracking, several new skeleton warriors emerged from their corpses one by one.
And these fresh skeleton warriors, still with a little flesh and blood, aimed their scythes at the remaining group of giant rats......
"Enough~!" Jiang Jinyuan's face darkened: "I don't care who you are, since you want to get a share, just fuck~ give me a stop." Otherwise, even if I am found out by the Nighthawk bandits, I will have to fight with you. ”
"Hmph~~, this group of rats is just the cost of a few hundred gold coins, it depends on your distress. When we catch that mutant cat, no matter how many mice you want to raise, it won't be a problem. The corners of the necromancer's mouth curled up and pressed the hood on his head.
"Dry~! If it weren't for you, I would have caught it. Now you want to raise money with me, are you insulting my IQ? ”
"Hmph~! Is it~? Do you think that cat can survive the nighthawk's round-up a few times, and really only has that little ability? Even if I don't make a move, the probability of you catching it won't exceed 20%. This is still the result of your hole cards being played with all your might......
However, it's useless to talk so much now, let's catch the mutant cat first, and then discuss the distribution of the bounty according to how much effort both sides contribute! At most, you will receive an extra share of the prize when the time comes. But I have to get the blood on it.
Otherwise...... You should have heard of my Demon Bone Liu Zhen, and I am not easy to mess with! ”
"What? Are you the demon bone Liu Zhen who claimed to be able to use eight skeleton warriors to play the Sea of Skulls? According to legend, didn't you also go to the United States? How can you still be here? ”
Listening to the druid's tone, he had obviously heard of the name.
"Hmph~~!" But the necromancer, whose face was covered by the cloak, just snorted in displeasure and did not answer, obviously there was some kind of unspeakable hidden in it.
“…… Well, for your name's sake, I can count you as a share. But we must say it first, if the bandits of the Nighthawk Mercenary Group find out about us, you will also do your part to delay them. Otherwise, it's better for everyone to break up in two. ”
The druid of Jiang Jinyuan, who was called Jiang Jinyuan, obviously had some scruples about Yoo Jin's name, or felt that his chances of winning were not high, so he compromised.
After weighing the degree of danger, Liu Zhen nodded and said, "Deal!" (To be continued.) )
