“……”

"It's like ...... here Nothing out of the ordinary? ”

"So ......"

"I'll have to go down there and take a look."

Although this is the dungeon of the government, not all of the cells are underground.

Therefore, Li Bai first walked around the already empty cells on the ground, and saw that those cells were normal, and he didn't find much to discover, so he clenched the iron sword in his hand, and walked slightly hesitantly towards the entrance of the dungeon that looked a little dark and damp, and seemed to be specially for felons.

"Huh?"

Because he has been in contact with monsters almost every day recently, Li Bai, who is already familiar with some of the breath of monsters, faintly noticed the strange aura that belongs to monsters outside the entrance of the dungeon.

This situation shocked him, and then the hand holding the scabbard couldn't help but tighten.

"Humph!"

"Looks like there's a monster here!"

However, he didn't pay much attention, only hesitated for a moment, and continued to walk down the steps step by step.

After all, I've come here, and I've boasted about Haikou, so I can't leave without going down to see it.

"Huh?"

Tut!

Soon, Li Bai found out that maybe it was because no one had moved around for a long time, and the dungeon was dark and damp, so the stone steps that had been trampled on were already covered with slippery moss, so he had to be more cautious when he landed, so as not to fall into a big heel fight before he met the monster.

Not long after, after walking down the steps that were about the size of one floor, what Li Bai saw was a dim basement as big as a small parking lot, and there were scattered oil lamps and torches on the walls in the dark and damp inside, but they obviously didn't know how many days had been extinguished, and now like those sundries scattered on the ground, no one had taken care of them at all.

Then, Li Bai also found that around this dungeon, there were small underground cells surrounded by a few logs, and there was a burst of rotten stench that made him almost nauseous.

“！！”

Frowning slightly, the sharp-eyed Li Bai saw at a glance that among the cells that seemed to belong to felons, there were shriveled corpses of different degrees of decay scattered around them?

Obviously, those should be the ones Li Sanlang told him, when the matter was urgent, when people were panicking and hurriedly evacuated, the bodies of those unlucky prisoners who had not had time to be transported out to bury and dispose of.

To be honest, he had also smelled this stench when he was at the entrance of the dungeon just now, and at that time, Li Bai thought about retreating.

After all, he didn't really come for those rewards, and he didn't have to fight the monsters for a reason...... However, thinking that he had already promised others in advance, and that the county commander was still guarding the outside far away, if he ran out at this time, would it be a little too embarrassing?

Sure enough, the reason why people are hypocritical is because they are too idle, why do they bother to find this kind of thing for themselves?

“……”

Damn it!

In the future, I said that I would not take on this kind of dirty work......

He complained in his heart, thought about it, and Li Bai, who had no choice, had to try to hold his breath and inhale as little as possible, and just walked step by step towards this dim cell, where there was no light for a long time, and only small oblique sunlight shone down from the vents or patios as a light source.

“……”

However, Li Bai soon discovered that this task did not seem to be difficult.

He just walked around, and found a lot of new clues, such as: some monks and dried corpses in Taoist robes who died on the ground, their gnawed corpses and fighting marks, and of course, the conspicuous 'path' that belonged to some kind of animal along the wall?

Li Bai has heard people say before that rats, rabbits, wild boars or other wild animals in the wild often like to walk along fixed paths, and they like to take the 'old road', because they feel that all the roads they have walked must be safe, so over time, they will form a rat road, rabbit road, etc., so setting traps on those paths will often get twice the result with half the effort?

And now, seeing the walls of those cells that have been smoothed, Li Bai can't help but associate the monsters that are strange in this cell with some creatures that are very common and disgusted to him.

"Humph!"

"Come out! Don't be sneaky anymore, I'm here to deal with you today, do you want me to strike first? ”

"If you don't come out again, I'll be leaving."

Seeing that there was nothing to continue the investigation and was too lazy to stay here any longer, Li Bai was a little impatient, so he directly shouted provocatively at the 'air'.

He wasn't joking, because he did.

Anyway, he will stay here for a few minutes at most, if the other party can't live or die, then he really wants to go back, and then the people outside love to think about it, anyway, he has tried his best, and the other party can't come out, can he still let him live in this kind of prison cell with dead people?

"Come out!"

"I want to see if you monsters can take my sword?"

Finding that there was no movement, Li Bai opened his mouth again and shouted into the air 'persuasion'.

Soon, more than a minute passed......

What made Li Bai, who had been vigilant around, feel a little embarrassed was that it was still calm here, and some of the monsters who were hiding in the dark to spy on him still didn't make any moves, and although he knew that he must be being watched, there was no way to force the other party to come out.

“……”

"Okay!"

"You don't come out, do you? Wait, I'll let them set fire to this place when I go out!" ”

After waiting for a while, he stood in the middle of the dungeon and was vigilant, but the monster did not come out alive or dead, and Li Bai, who was a little impatient, was annoyed, so he simply turned around and left.

His steps were very firm, he walked very resolutely and quickly, and there was no sense of pretense at all.

Because he is serious, after all, this is not his dungeon, and he will not feel distressed if it is burned down, so ah, those monsters can't come out, and he Li Bai doesn't have time to play that kind of game of hide and seek with them here, and he won't waste his time by tossing and turning with each other.

After a while, he will be guarding outside, asking people to stuff all the firewood and straw into the dungeon, and then pour a little oil on it, and he can't believe that he can't burn or smoke the monster that can't come out of it!

‘！！ ’

'Squeak! Chirping! ’

"Huh?!"

However, just as Li Bai impatiently turned his head and left, walking briskly towards the only exit and towards the steps of the cell, there was finally movement around the cell!

With a burst of squeaky rat cries, soon, four terrifying rats with a body length of nearly two meters, a height of forty or fifty centimeters, and a weight of about 100 catties, which looked like the size of a large beaver, rushed out of the holes hidden under the haystack in the cells, and surrounded him at once.

"Hah!"

"I knew it was really you guys......"

Seeing that he was surrounded by four huge terrifying 'rat demons', Li Bai not only did not be afraid, but grinned as if relieved.

"Humph!"

"It's just the four of you, nothing else?"

After seeing clearly the opponent he was about to face, Li Bai became more relaxed, no longer as nervous as he was when facing the unknown before, and even dared to continue to provoke.

‘……’

‘……’

However, those rat demons did not answer Li Bai's question, but just stared at him with red eyes, and their eyes were full of murderous, hideous, bloodthirsty and crazy looks.

"Good!"

"It seems that there is really nothing else, so let's dispose of it all together!"

After glancing indifferently at the four rat demons, and then seeing that there seemed to be no other movement in the cave they rushed out, Li Bai nodded with satisfaction, and his right hand slowly grasped the hilt of his sword.

‘！！ ’

'Squeak! Chirping! ’

Seeing Li Bai's movements, the rat demons who were obviously not low in wisdom suddenly screamed, and then they cooperated very tacitly from four different directions, and pounced towards Li Bai at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time showed their big mouths and a pair of yellowed sharp front teeth.

At this time, their speed was faster than lightning and they still cooperated tacitly, or they attacked from four different directions, and the one behind Li Bai actually stood up at the same time, as if they were planning to lie on his back so that they could bite off his neck in one bite?

In this case, in the small environment of the dungeon, if you are an ordinary person, facing this kind of thing that is even more terrible than a tiger or a leopard, you will definitely ignore the front and back, and if you are not careful, you will be knocked down by one of them and frantically bitten, and those monks and Taoist priests who died here before are role models.

But it's a pity that they are not facing other ordinary people this time, but him Li Bai!

"Humph!"

Therefore, after squinting his eyes and snorting coldly, before the four rat spirits pounced on him, Li Bai, who had already superimposed and brewed the sword qi, made a brazen move!

Qiang!!

With the sound of the iron sword unsheathed, a distinctive, dazzling light began to flash in the cell for the first time.

"You're still too slow!"

Swish!

A stroke of genius!

In an instant, Li Bai took himself as the center, turned his sword qi into a Qinglian sword array, and then used the outline method of calligraphy, using the sword as a pen, and replacing the ink with sword qi, and slashed directly at the four rat spirits around him who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and dared to start a siege against him.

‘？？ ’

‘……’

Burst! Burst!

‘！！ ’

'Squeak!! ’

Boom!

Poof!!

“……”

Boom!

"Humph!"

Youkai of this magnitude?

After the sound of four consecutive heavy objects falling to the ground, Li Bai didn't look at the rat demons who fell to the ground and were cut throats, arteries and hearts pierced by Qi Qi with his instantaneous sword just now.

Because the dungeon here is so smelly and smelly, it is a little unbearable, and after he is confident that he has eliminated all the rat demons, of course he will not stay here for even a second longer!

Therefore, now that he plans to go out to report the victory, and then find out if there are any remnants of the rat demon in those caves, he will naturally hand it over to those officials or jailers to deal with, he Li Bai will not care about it anyway, and he really can't get into those caves, right?

Not long after, as Li Bai walked out of the dungeon and the footsteps gradually faded away, in the quiet and dark dungeon, those rat demons who were still twitching gradually stopped moving.

And their stinking and bright red demon blood slowly flowed all over the ground, and even slowly spread and flowed along the cracks of those dungeon tiles, which looked so dazzling......
