Chapter 563: The Hidden Tunnel
The leaders of the four major families all wagged their tails at Chu Ge.
Chu Ge hurriedly wagged his tail and saluted, and both sides smiled slightly, both recognizing each other's courage and boldness.
"Now that the most prestigious warriors of the Rat civilization have arrived, let's listen to what 'Black Claw' says - it doesn't have much time to live." The national teacher said in a deep voice.
Only then did Chu Ge know that the "drill mouse" lying on the stretcher with scaly wounds was called "Black Claw".
According to the national teacher, Blackclaw is the strongest and best at digging among the Drill Rat tribe.
Since the rat civilization and the snake civilization started a full-scale war, the national teacher has called on the vassal tribes of the Long Tooth Kingdom to cross the sea with the eight immortals, each show their abilities, and make contributions to the final victory of the rat civilization.
Among them, the task of the "Drill Rat" tribe is to open the passage from the rear to the front line, and dig near the snake demon's lair, trying to find the core of the snake demon's lair in the way of "tunnel warfare".
"Blackclaw" led an excavation team, the most efficient, the farthest digging distance, when the other drill rats had just dug out thirty or fifty meters, they had already dug out hundreds of meters in the direction of the suspected snake demon nest.
However, the other rats who were part of the same digging team later reported that just this morning, in the midst of a fierce battle between the elites of the Ivory Kingdom and the Mori Pythons, their digging also hit a nail, which was a very hard rock.
The other rats in the excavation team persuaded "Blackclaw" to change directions, but Blackpaw did not give up digging along the rock, up and down, left and right, but the rock was so huge that it could not be fully outlined after digging for a whole morning.
In the end, I don't know what the black claws dug up, and a thick black mist suddenly gushed out of the cave, and the drill rats could not reach out their claws, so they could only flee in the wilderness.
When the black fog cleared and they ventured into the cavern to rescue Blackclaw, it was covered in bruises, delirium, and dying, with a mouth full of slurred gibberish.
The stakes were so high that the leader of the Drill Mountain Rat tribe did not dare to make a decision easily, so he carried the "Black Claw" to the national teacher, hoping that the national teacher could analyze the intermittent words it said.
Hearing this, Chu Ge and Bai Ye glanced at each other, and they all leaned in and listened.
I saw that the black claw's eyes widened, and the sound of "Kaz, Kaz" came out of his torn mouth, sometimes the green tendons were highlighted, the fierce face was exposed, and sometimes the face was terrified, and he trembled.
It was so angry that its voice was so low that it was impossible to tell if there was any other sound in the gnashing of teeth of "Kaz, Kaz".
Soon, its eyes gradually froze, its breath became weaker and weaker, and its chest, which had risen and fell rapidly, also turned into a frozen pond.
It's dead.
Only the sound of "Kaz, Kaz" remains.
The national teacher said: "The Drill Rat tribe has a unique set of calls, which is different from the language used in the Tusk Kingdom, in which they have a special vocabulary to describe those gaps that go straight to the depths of the earth and can never climb out once they fall into it, that is, the 'Kaz' that the 'Black Claw' shouted just now, in words that we can understand, let's translate it as 'Devil's Palace', right?" ”
"The Devil's Palace?"
Chu Ge, Bai Ye, the cat eater, and the leaders of the four major families all shuddered deeply.
"I suspect that Blackclaw has found the core of the snake demon's lair, and even the back of the snake demon's lair, the most secret place."
"The reason why Blackclaw can achieve a tunneling speed three or five times faster than other drill rats is that it is particularly good at finding and using natural crevices in the ground, so the tunnels it excavates are also particularly winding and winding."
"I asked the drill rats, who belonged to the same excavation team as it, to barely sketch out the tunnel they had dug with their tails, and found that they had almost dug out the shape of a curved bow around the left side of the landfill, and most likely went around the back of the snake demon, discovering the snake demon's weaknesses and secrets.
"The earlier battle, everyone has witnessed it, those stinging scorpions lurking in the ground, and the huge giant python that has no friends, have indeed caused us a lot of trouble, and the blood of countless warriors has flowed in vain on this rancid humus.
"The snake demon has already known about our arrival, it must bet all its forces on the frontal battlefield, if we continue to advance like this, I don't know how many opponents like the scorpion and the python are waiting for us, even if we can pass the level hard, I am afraid we will have to pay an extremely tragic price, such a reckless and stupid tactic is definitely not the way the gods want to see the play.
"So, based on Blackclaw's discovery, I came up with a strategy, we might as well send a small elite force to go around the back of the snake demon's lair and launch a fatal blow while maintaining frontal pressure!"
The proposal of the national teacher aroused the discussion of the rats.
Everyone agrees that this is a tactic worth trying.
Although it is a bit risky, no matter how great the loss is, it cannot be greater than the fierce battle with the scorpion and the python during the day.
And if the blow is effective, causing the snake demon to suffer from the enemy, the snake demon may be defeated on the frontal battlefield, and be swept away by the rat army in a devastating posture.
"So, which elite should be sent to sneak attack from behind the snake demon?" Bai Ye asked.
"This is a vital task, and it can even be said that it will determine the victory or defeat of this sacred war."
The national teacher said solemnly, "And the tunnel that the Black Claw they just dug was only intended for reconnaissance, not for transporting troops, so it is very narrow and rugged, and many places have to be squeezed through, and it is not suitable for the army to pass, therefore, only a very small number of elites can break through, once they break into the lair of the snake demon, they may also face the problem that the rear reinforcements cannot arrive in time, and they have to fight alone, facing the problem of the snake demon's crazy counterattack." ”
Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "Can't we widen the tunnel first?" ”
"No, you can't."
The national teacher shook his head and said, "First, time is pressing, after the fierce battle in the morning, we and the snake demon have understood each other's determination, and it is impossible to leave too much time for each other.
"Second, widening the tunnel will definitely make a noise, maybe the snake demon will discover the existence of this tunnel, set up an ambush at the other end of the tunnel, and wipe out the elite we have struggled to drill through, then it will not be a sneak attack, but a death.
"The soldiers are fast, we can only send the elite immediately before the snake demon finds out, like nails, and drive it in!"
In a word, all the rat warriors were enthusiastic.
"The problem is, it's possible that the snake demon will know about the existence of the tunnel by now."
White Night became more and more calm, and he pondered for a moment, "Perhaps, it has set up an ambush at the other end of the tunnel, waiting for us to throw itself into the net." ”
"That's right, it's possible that the snake demon has already discovered it, so the elite of this raid is very likely to be a 'death squad' that has no return."
The national teacher said lightly, "Therefore, I have decided that this death squad will be led by me personally." ”
"What!"
All the rats were shocked.
"National teacher, think twice!"
The cat eaters and the leaders of the four major families threw themselves to the ground one after another, imploring the national teacher, "You are the founder and guide of the Long Fang Kingdom, you are like a light bulb that will never be extinguished in the dark world underground, no matter who the Long Fang Kingdom and the rat civilization lose, but not you, this mission can be carried out by any of us, but not you!" ”
"I know."
A deep light surged in the eyes of the national teacher, and it cut through the iron, "It is precisely because I am the founder and guide of the Fangs Kingdom that when we face a decisive battle with the embodiment of darkness, the snake demon, I must rush to the front - if this battle is won, you will no longer need my protection and guidance, and if this battle is lost, then I have no need to live alone."
"I have made up my mind, and I don't need to say more, but now I just ask, will any of you want to go with me?"
The national teachers all volunteered like this, and what else did the other rat warriors have to say, they all rushed to be the first, willing to join the death squad and go deep behind enemy lines.
Even Chu Ge and Bai Ye were shocked by the courage of the national teacher - even if it really had other plans, at least it deserved the words "treacherous and loyal, brave and strategic".
Since this is the case, Chu Ge and Bai Ye also have the heart to accompany the national teacher to play this good show, and see what kind of medicine it sells in the snake demon gourd.
When the rats were discussing the list of death squads, Chu Ge was secretly dragged aside by Bai Ye to discuss whether to tell the national teacher about the chip found in Sen Yu's brain.
Chu Ge thought about it again and again, but decided not to press it, the reason is very simple, the discovery of the tunnel leading to the snake demon's lair made the whole thing more and more strange, and the element of coincidences became higher and higher.
Chu Ge really didn't like this interlocking feeling.
The so-called interlocking means that if one link goes wrong, the whole chain will be shattered, and the whole layout will become unrecognizable.
Let's wait until they see what is hidden in the snake demon's lair, and then let's talk!
