Chapter 169: Gray Mouse
What are they doing, bowing down to us and bowing to the five bodies?
I turned my head to look at Ding Dong, who was squatting on the stone platform at this time, and said, "Do you think the rat knows what it means to bow and worship?" ”
"I think so, because I once watched a documentary with a weasel worshipping the moon at night."
Gradually, more and more rats came out of the cracks in the coffin, and when they came out, they crawled on the ground in unison.
They kept bowing to us, slowly moving forward as they lay on the ground. At first, there were only a dozen mice, but it didn't take long for hundreds of rats to appear, and then a dense crowd of rats appeared.
As the rats approached us, they crawled faster and faster, and I felt a little nervous.
"Do you mean to get us in trouble?"
"Then why are they still bowing to us?"
And at this moment, the headmaster, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke.
"I remember, my father once told me about this mouse, this mouse lives underground all the year round, so its vision is degraded, but its sense of smell is extremely keen, and it is ...... And ......"
"And what?"
"These rats eat meat."
Seeing that the dense rats were getting closer and closer to us, I suddenly reacted at this time. His uncle, the reason why these rats bow to us is actually to confuse us.
Wait until we are almost away before launching a surprise attack, and we are now surrounded by these rats, and the only exit is blocked by these rats.
"Quick...... Everyone jumped on the stone platform first. ”
At this time, Ding Dong suddenly spoke, although his knowledge about this tomb is all from literature, but it is still more useful than us.
So the three of us jumped onto the stone platform, and Dingdong pulled out a small transparent bag from the headmaster's bag, and the small bag contained the two girls' change of underwear. Dingdong held the bag of underwear in his hand and looked at the principal with a blank expression, "You still have this habit?" ”
The headmaster didn't know how to explain it at this time, so he had to smile awkwardly.
Clankle didn't say anything more, and then pulled a slender stick out of the headmaster's bag. After wrapping all his bags of clothes around the tweed sticks, he went to the candlestick and lit it.
He lit the garment in his hand and blew out the candlestick. In an instant, in the originally bright cave, only the remaining light in Dingdong's hand remained.
But I couldn't figure it out at the time, the candle flame on the menorah was dim, but it could illuminate the whole cave. But the torch in Jingdong's hand was so bright, but it could only illuminate a small area.
And at the moment when the candlestick was extinguished, the rats that were crawling on the ground suddenly raised their heads, squinting their eyes as if they had no purpose. Their long, pointed, sniffing frantically around, but they remained motionless on the ground.
"Hmph, I guessed right, the smell of this candlestick is the key to controlling this group of rats."
"Shall we go down then?" Siya, who was standing on the side, asked.
I have to say that these two girls are already very bold, and ordinary girls can't cry and make trouble when they see such a scene, but these two girls are unusually calm at this time.
But this Siya is a girl after all, maybe she won't be afraid of a mouse, but so many mice run out of thin air, even I feel a chill behind my back.
At this time, Ding Dong just shook his head and said, "No, we still have the fragrance from the lampstand, and if we get close to them, we will definitely be attacked by them." ”
"But there's no way to go on like this, seeing that bag of clothes is about to burn out, if it weren't for these faint fires, we're afraid we would still be dead, and we have to find a way to get out of here quickly."
Seeing that the clothes in Dingdong's hand were gradually fading, I quickly took off my coat and put it over the torch, which suddenly ignited like a new life.
"Didn't he just say that these rats are afraid of light, and if we walk forward with the help of torches, those rats should not dare to come forward."
"Are you sure?"
I shook my head slightly, then took the torch from Jingle Bell's hand and jumped straight down from the stone platform. And the moment I jumped off the stone platform, the rats suddenly fell backwards by a meter.
When I saw a door, I beckoned them to jump down from the stone platform, and since the range of the torches was very small, we had to huddle tightly together. The group of us moved towards the stone gate and said, "Siya and Dingdong will go over first, you must hurry up." ”
I held my torches aloft and walked cautiously among the rats. And the rats, as I imagined, were less than two meters away from us. Just crawling on the ground, as if in a state of ready to attack at any time.
Finally, when they reached the door, Siya and Dingdong went straight through, and just as they got through, I handed the torch in my hand to the principal, and I went over too. And when all four of us had gone through, we quickly closed the stone door again.
However, there is also a mechanism in this stone gate, and we can only push this stone door halfway to the position, but we can't push it anymore, but the rats inside can't get out. ‘’‘
The torch was running out, and the headmaster threw it to the ground, leaving it to fend for itself. And just as we were back in the deep well we had been in before, the shadow reappeared beside me.
"It's a dead end...... We can't get out. ”
"yes, who made you owe the lamp?"
"What do you mean?"
"I also probed into your body just now, and found that there was a very thick yin qi on the top of the stone cave. Didn't those two fish surround a few stone bricks just now, I think this exit must be behind these stone bricks. ”
"But we can't deal with the rats there?"
"Now the rats in the cave should have gone back, as long as you don't light the lights, it's fine, don't you have flashlights......
With that, the shadow returned to my body again.
I took a deep breath, looked at the extinguished torches in front of me, and said, "We need to go in again, and now the only exit is at the top of the cave." ”
Ding Dong nodded, she walked up to me and whispered, "Brother Cui, can you let us change our clothes before going in, it's too inconvenient to wear this clothes." ”
