Chapter 493: The World of Rats
"It's not necessary, if you want to break the line and escape, you can break the line and escape at any time, but doing so now, on the one hand, there are too many risks, and secondly, you haven't collected enough information."
Chu Ge thought to himself, "What I see now is similar to what Xue Yong saw, if his consciousness can be smoothly transmitted back to the main body, he will definitely report the matter of the ferocious rat to the above."
"But we're only seeing the state of the rat hunt.
"To be able to set up such a complex chain of traps, and to have some kind of 'language'-like ability, what is the nest of these ferocious rats like, and where did they get the ability to mutate? It would be nice if we could 'live' for a while longer and figure out these issues. ”
Chu Ge's heart moved, and a bold idea suddenly came to him.
With his heart crossed, he took the initiative to emerge from the dormant place, pretending to be frightened and stiff, spread his paws, and raised his hands in surrender.
Anyway, from the moment he gave a warning, the ferocious rat had already discovered him.
Even when the battle was at its fiercest just now, there were several fierce aura, locking on Chu Ge.
The opponent's keen sense of smell and swift hunting ability make the escape pointless.
Why don't you give it a go!
If the wisdom of the other party really reaches the level of primitive humans in the barbarian era, then they may not hunt all the prey at will, and maybe they will capture and keep the prey in captivity.
Sure enough, when the fierce rats saw Chu Ge taking the initiative to appear, they didn't pounce on him immediately.
There was a flickering light in their eyes, and they exchanged words with each other for a while, Chu Ge saw the huge red-haired fierce rat waving its tail, and immediately two fierce rats crawled towards Chu Ge with their tails wrapped in a thin steel wire.
"The rat does possess some kind of language-like ability, and even if it is not a real language, it is out of the realm of the howl of a beast and can be used to convey simple messages."
Chu Ge thought to himself, "Moreover, the other party also has the concept of a leader, similar to the 'head wolf', which is very common in the wolf pack, but it is quite worth studying when it appears in the rat pack." ”
Chu Ge was full of curiosity and couldn't wait to spy on the rat's nest.
The two ferocious rats barked at him a few times, and their tails also fiddled in different postures.
It's a pity that Chu Ge doesn't understand the "language" of the fierce rat, but they show it to the blind.
Seeing that the little mouse was still honestly raising its hands high, the fierce rats also felt strange and interesting - the underground creatures they had hunted in the past had not cooperated so well-behaved.
In addition, with the aesthetics of a mouse, Chu Ge has a thin skin and tender meat, and he looks like he is being manipulated by others, which is really a bit "I feel sorry for me", and he can't see the slightest danger at all.
They didn't bother to tear Chu Ge's throat either.
The two fierce rats, one left and one right, tied the wire to Chu Ge's body, but they didn't bite further, but just carried Chu Ge to the red-haired fierce rat.
The interest of the red-haired ferocious rat is not on Chu Ge for the time being, but he commands his subordinates to use saber teeth and claws to tear the body of the honey badger into pieces, from fur to flesh and blood to internal organs and bones, and collect and sort them out one by one.
Chu Ge watched with interest, and felt more and more that these fierce rats were like ancient hunters who were still in darkness and ignorance in the era of flood and famine, but had already seen the first rays of wisdom.
They have been able to control their instincts, even if the flesh torn off is delicious, they can resist not fighting and devouring, but they use their claws to poke holes in the ends of the meat strips, so that they can use their tails to string the strips of meat for easy towing and handling.
Then, under the allotment of the red-haired ferocious rats, they were able to enjoy the perishable offal, and each of them had one portion, and not too much to take more.
Chu Ge noticed that the internal organs of each ferocious rat were not the same size.
Carefully recalling the fierce battle just now, it turns out that the more brave and dangerous the fierce rats in battle, the larger the spoils.
For example, the first fierce rat to venture behind the honey badger was given a piece of plump liver.
There is also a fierce rat that holds the front paws of the honey badger and gives the red-haired fierce mouse a chance to kill with one blow, and it is assigned an eyeball.
The rat colony actually has the rule of distributing the spoils according to the merits of the war, which is an extremely high level of civilization, which is really incredible.
The ferocious rats were swept away and soon enjoyed a delicious meal with a temperature still there.
They then continued their work, peeling off the thick and tough fur of the honey badger and cutting it into small pieces.
He also broke down the bones of the honey badger, and did not let go of every sharp broken bone, not to mention the sharp claws.
Chu Ge noticed that although their claws were very sharp, their forelimbs were somewhat deformed and mutated, becoming longer and more flexible, and they could barely grasp the bone spurs of their prey, like fencing, poking at each other, and frolicking.
In the early days of human civilization, bone spears and bone blades were also widely used as an extension of limbs.
It seems that these ferocious rats have gradually stepped into this historical stage.
After everything was done cleanly, they carefully put away the trap in the trap.
The red-haired ferocious rat let out a whistle, and all the ferocious rats "squeaked" and screamed, like a triumphant war song.
Then, they carried the booty, and the tails of two fierce rats hooked the wire on Chu Ge's body.
This "Fierce Rat Expeditionary Force" swaggered back to their lair.
Chu Ge was tied up like a pig by a ferocious mouse, and he was tossed and turned in the dark.
It seems that he has no power to fight back, but he has stirred his little brain to the limit, carefully recalling every detail of his involvement in the flood to meeting the ferocious rat, sketching a clearer and clearer topographical map of the underground world in his mind, and speculating on the coordinates of the rat's nest.
If you can successfully break the line and escape, you can use this valuable information to drill holes directly from the ground and smash Huanglong.
Of course, at that time, whether these fierce rats with highly developed intelligence will disperse in a hurry and hide in deeper dungeons is another headache.
Chu Ge sighed secretly.
He found that dealing with such an inconspicuous little monster was even more of a headache than dealing with an immortal cultivator.
Sure enough, as President Yu said, to deal with immortal cultivators, you can do what they like and attack their weaknesses, if you can't beat them, you can talk about them, and if you can't talk about them, you can fight again, everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, there is no essential difference, it's just a big deal.
But what about the rats with intelligence?
You know, even a nuclear war can't completely exterminate rats, let alone intelligent rats.
Rice into sperm is already so difficult, what if it is a cockroach into sperm?
The faint light in front interrupted Chu Ge's thoughts.
They twisted and turned, and they crawled through many crevices that were almost perpendicular to the ground, and climbed out at least several kilometers in a straight line, and suddenly it became clear that there was another underground space that was quite spacious on the scale of a mouse.
And, there's light here!
Chu Ge narrowed his eyes, the rat's eyes, which had been soaked in the dark for too long, couldn't adapt to the too exciting light for a while, and everywhere he saw, it was snow-white.
As the white faded, he was taken aback by the blurry picture created by the light.
First of all, Chu Ge discovered that the light was emitted from a large flashlight, which was suspended high above the underground space, like an artificial little sun!
With the help of the orange-red light of this "little sun", Chu Ge saw the ruins and mountains of garbage around him.
Directly in front of it, supporting this subterranean space and constituting the main body of the entire world, is a flattened van.
About a few decades ago, when the apocalyptic earthquake struck, the collapsed buildings toppled inward at the same time, supporting each other, forming a small triangular space, which was held up by the van and rumbled into the ground, but it became a paradise for rats.
Now, as far as the eye can see, there are rats of all sizes standing everywhere.
That's right, it is "standing", like a squirrel or kangaroo holding a pine cone, relying on its thick hind legs and tail to form a triangular support, but it is free of the forelimbs, waving fiercely, and at the same time making a very regular "squeak" cry from the mouth, and the cries converge into a wave, as if welcoming their "hero" triumphant with tears.
The red-haired rat wagged its tail triumphantly.
On its thick, long tail was the skull of a honey badger, the trophy of the operation.
The large, hideous form of the skull already showed what a grueling and victorious hunt it was, and the rat people cheered even louder.
The "rat hunters" behind him also waved broken bones, meat strips, and Chu Ge, a little mouse with thin skin and tender meat, showing off to their "clansmen" with various loot.
The world of rats suddenly turned into a sea of joy.
