Chapter 157: Besieged by a Swarm of Rats
The second half of the night. Mu Ran was suddenly awakened by a loud tremor.
As soon as he regained consciousness, he noticed a strong mixture of blood and other pungent strange smells in the air.
She was shocked. Suddenly opened his eyes. It's a constriction of the pupils.
All the men in black. Except for the three who surrounded her in the middle. The rest have already gone into battle. And I don't know when. They were surrounded by a group of monsters.
Probably up to the knee height of an adult. The whole body is grayish-brown. The front legs are retracted. Hind limb jumping. The ears are pointed. It looks a bit like a kangaroo. The mouth squeaks constantly.
"Gold Eater. She couldn't help but stand up. A look of astonishment and confusion.
Gold-eating rats. Teeth are like steel knives. The first time to update the gnawing iron stone. Blazing fast. This rat is just a first-class and second-level demon beast. But the horror of it is that this monster is a social monster. And the number of people living in groups is terrifying. Sometimes millions can be gathered in an instant with almost a single summoning. Therefore, it can be regarded as a hegemon.
It's just that this kind of rat is mostly near the cold and desolate veins and rocks. This is the waterfall area. It's not where the gold eater lives. Why are there so many gold-eating rats all of a sudden? Although it looks like there are only a few hundred of them now. But who knows if there will be many.
The first- and second-level gold-devouring rats are like ants in front of the great martial artist, and they can be crushed to death at any time. But what if it's a group.
There were already quite a few corpses on the ground. But these gold-eating rats continued to attack as if they were dying. More and faster chapters are here. The number doesn't seem to have changed much.
Mu Ran's face was ugly. Why did she just sleep and then something happened. And how it happened. Why did she suddenly sleep so dead.
What comes to mind. His face couldn't help but become even more ugly.
"You can't kill the gold rats. These possible vanguard rangers. There may be a large force in the rear. We must get out of here. She turned to one of the men in black beside her.
This person is the one who arranged for everyone's vigil before. Mu Ran remembered his breath. At this point, there is no time to ask for specific reasons.
She could have gone into the space and ignored their lives and deaths. But after all, the true purpose of their trip is not understood. It's not always in vain.
The man in black heard this. Said suddenly. "Withdraw. He exchanged glances with the people around him. Then one person drove Mu Ran first and ran.
The other people who heard the order also ran behind. A group of gold-eating rats are also in hot pursuit.
The night is dark. It is cold and dewy. The breaths and sounds of the beasts around them kept approaching. It's like an ambush on all sides.
A group of people only knew that they were bored and rushed forward.
"It's a fault layer. Go up. "In the distance, I saw a not-so-high fault in the distance. Mu Ran, who had already been dizzy by the messy squeak, was overjoyed. Subconsciously shouted.
The man in black to her left suddenly glanced at her. He quickly withdrew his gaze. After closing the distance. Sure enough, I saw a fault wall. Run to the bottom of the fault layer. The two of them carried Mu Ran up the stone with one hand.
The people behind also went up to the fault layer one after another. But the gold-eating rat also followed. A few of them were dragged into the rat colony because they were injured and ran slowly. And then within a few seconds, there were no bones left.
Mu Ran was let go. I couldn't help but take a few steps back with a white face. Don't look at the situation below.
With her eyesight, she could naturally see the tragic situation of those people clearly.
A few people stepped back a little further. The leader in black immediately assigned the task. Then rest in place for a while.
Mu Ran sat for a while. The smell of blood in the air made her frown uncomfortably. And this smell of blood may also attract other demon beasts. Be the first to update
Reach out and take a small bottle from your backpack and open it. A strange fragrance instantly spread. The smell of blood was quickly masked.
These people will carry an elixir to heal wounds and stop bleeding. She didn't need to take out the pill in one more move. Turning his head to ask the man in black who had been standing not far from her. "What the hell is going on. Why are the gold-eating rats there. There shouldn't be gold-eating rats there. ”
And the thing of sleeping to death yourself. She definitely didn't believe that she was too sleepy and slept too deeply. There must be something greasy. It's just that this one is not easy to ask.
None of the others responded. The black-clothed leader who was questioned said lukewarmly. "There's nothing in the forest that shouldn't be. ”
Mu Ran's brows furrowed even tighter. But when the man had finished speaking, he ordered the two men to protect her. Then he turned and left.
I thought about it. I don't ask anything more. Turned around and found a tree to sit down. This time she was too careless. It seems that Ni Feng is right. Because it's too space-dependent. Her sense of crisis is too low. It's too complacent.
Wait until everyone sits down and rests. Mu Ran glanced at it roughly. Not including yourself. There were twenty-four people. Now there are only sixteen left. In other words, eight people were lost just by coming in.
It is worthy of being the second most dangerous forest in the Linwu Continent. There were more dangers than she had imagined. Even the gold rat has it. I don't know what other unknown dangers there are.
There will be no sleepiness in this way. Just leaned against the trunk of the tree and stared at it with his eyes open. Until the horizon of the fish belly turns white.
At the beginning of the morning, the mountains began to be filled with various bird calls. More and faster chapters are here. Less of the roar of the monster. It looks light and warm.
Mu Ran stood up. Stretched. Glancing up at the sky blocked by the canopy of trees. Light coming through the cracks in the leaves. Like stars.
The rest have been mobilized. Because I was in a hurry last night. The backpack was almost all gone. So he caught a lot of birds, plucked their feathers, and boiled bird soup. One person roasted a dozen birds. Except for a few embarrassments. Same as the one just came. There was no change in mood at all because of the lack of people.
Mu Ran narrowed his eyes. Didn't eat birds. I took out two steamed buns from my backpack and nibbled on them.
Take a break. Everyone got into action.
There is no trace of the gold-eating rat at the bottom of the broken wall. However, there were many black blood stains on the yellow-brown sand and gravel floor.
The crowd returned where they were. There was no sign of the gold-eating rats in the makeshift camp before. Even the corpse of the gold-devouring rat on the ground has disappeared. Except for the occasional fragment of black clothes scattered with blood stains on the ground.
The surroundings seem quiet. It seems that most of the creatures in this area have also been scared away by the gold eater rats.
Cleaned up the next mess. People didn't stay long. Follow the known route to ** Pond.
But. This trip is destined to be difficult.
Although I was lucky to have encountered any demon beast attacks along the way. But it didn't take half an hour. Someone began to pass out. The team had to stop again to recuperate.
Gentleman don't stay in the village. Mrs. Rui walked gracefully to the main courtyard with the medicinal food. But I don't want to eat closed door again.
Looking at the people at the gate of the courtyard who blocked her way. Her face was a little bad. "Isn't the prince empty again? It's not done yet. ”
"Madame, unfortunately. The butler has just instructed that the prince will start a period of retreat today. No one is allowed to go in and disturb you. ”
"The prince is in retreat. Mrs. Rui frowned slightly. How could the prince suddenly retreat. Could it be that the pill I took some time ago has taken effect?
Think about it. She turned away. When I got back to the house, I recorded it. To be recorded. He frowned and thought for a while before taking out a piece of stationery. Wrote a letter and sent it back to the Evil King's Mansion.
"What's going on. But they can still move normally. The black-clothed leader asked Mu Ran, who had just finished reading it to those people.
"The wound is infected with toxins. Although it is not life-threatening. But to move normally, you still have to rest for a day or so. Mu Ran sorted out the medicine. Replied casually.
The black-clad leader frowned. "Neither can the antidote pill or the high-grade injury medicine. ”
"It's still going to take time to transition. She put the bottles and cans back in her backpack. Stood up. The person she had told her to go out and find something came back too. She beckoned. "Just put everything there.
The eyebrows under the black-clothed collar mask were slightly raised. Eyes follow her movements. Curious what she was going to do.
A stone pot has been erected in the middle of the meadow. Boil a large pot of water.
The things that were recovered were a bit miscellaneous. Among them are bark, leaves, roots, spiritual grass, etc. There are also some weeds. Of course. That's what they think.
Mu Ran squatted down and looked at the things he had retrieved. There are several more unnecessary things. There's nothing wrong with just looking for the same thing. It seems that these people have a lot of experience.
Pick and distribute things. It was like boiling water and let it boil.
Everyone thought she was going to boil medicine. I wasn't too curious.
The hunters also returned. The harvest is ok. Hunted two monsters that resembled wild boars. Big enough. It's enough for everyone to eat seven points full.
The monster has already been dealt with first. Mu Ran asked them to slice or dice the pork. Some are taken and baked. Then some were put by her on the flat stone slabs. The small scalpel was divided into pieces of thickness with a few sharp strokes.
The black-clad leader stood with his arms crossed. Watch her fry some meat out of the oil first. Then collect it. Brush it on the slate again and again. Put the meat on top and fry it again. Neatly brushed with oil.
And this time. A strange aroma filled the air. There is also a strong aura in the aroma. It makes people can't help but squint when they smell it.
Then they saw that the water in the cauldron had changed color. And the smell wafted out of it.
Mu Ran got up. Walked over and poured out the water with the help of the two of them. Then take out the slag and pour it like clean water. Throw in the bones and some of the meat and boil.
But she was left with the water to brush on the flesh. Whether it's fried meat or grilled meat.
Everyone didn't understand what she was doing. But when they were done and started eating, they understood.
Whether it's broth or grilled meat, stir-fried or fried meat. All with a strange scent. And they all contain a rich aura. Like a spirit grass. But the aura inside contains many different breaths.
It's not like they haven't eaten the food of Reiki. But I haven't seen anyone who can do that. Most of the spirit grasses that can be used as ingredients are boiled in a single way. It is mostly used as a medicinal diet. I didn't expect it to be so widely used.
And. Look at what she just did. It doesn't seem to be that hard.
"What's here. The black-clad leader asked.
