Chapter 36: The Plague of Rats
Pegasus took the barbecue handed by Zhao Ke, although it was the leftover barbecue from before, the temperature was still like it had just come out of the pot.
One bite into his mouth, the taste is still unprecedentedly delicious, even if he was still scolding Zhao Ke for being a waste before, but every time he eats the delicious food made by Zhao Ke, he can't help but lick his fingers again.
"Let's go, don't waste time here." Li Laohan opened his mouth and urged.
The short man and the middle-aged man on the side looked at each other and nodded, opened the iron door on the side, and walked in front to lead the way.
The group found a hole in an abandoned old house of the Bai family, and after successfully getting out of the hole, they looked around and saw that there was a vast forest of dead trees.
"It's finally out!"
The dwarf couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling that his whole body was relaxed, and then, as long as he found a way to leave, he would be able to complete the main quest and leave here.
The five of them discussed, and finally decided to go west, according to the news they heard before, there is a ghost town in the west, and there may be a way to get out of the underworld.
"Hey, little brother, do you have anything to eat, give us some."
Walking on the road, the dwarf opened his mouth to ask Zhao Ke for food, because their food was not much, it could only be said to be enough, but in order to save space, the food they brought was compressed biscuits.
Every time he saw Zhao Ke take out some barbecue meat for Pegasus to eat from time to time, the dwarf couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and after hesitating for a while, he finally spoke to Zhao Ke.
"Fuck off, don't you have food of your own?"
As soon as he heard that the dwarf was asking Wang Gouzi for food, Pegasus was immediately annoyed, in his eyes, Wang Gouzi was his own food warehouse, and the food in it belonged to him and Li Laohan.
You must know that the two of them also gave Zhao Ke a stamp for this, why should they let the dwarf and them share their own food for nothing.
"Pegasus, everyone is in the same boat now, so what about some food."
Behind the short man, the middle-aged man was a little dissatisfied when he saw this, although he had reached middle age, but his capable head, coupled with the wrinkles on his face, instead of looking old-fashioned, he looked more shrewd and capable.
"No, I don't want to give it."
Although there is no Wang Zhong, but the other party is also missing a black peacock, really fighting, everyone is two people, and no one is afraid of anyone.
"Forget it, don't be angry for a piece of flesh."
Li Laohan stopped Pegasus, blinked his eyes, and signaled Pegasus not to be impulsive, now the injuries on his body have not recovered, only one hand can move, although the other party is in a similar situation, but there is also a Dongzi hiding in the dark.
Even before, the dwarf had already vigorously denied that everything in Dongzi had nothing to do with them.
But this statement is somewhat credible, who knows, but now is not the time to turn the other cheek.
He turned around and nodded to Zhao Ke, and asked Zhao Ke to divide a piece of barbecue and hand it over.
"Hey, you're still sensible old man."
After taking the barbecue, the dwarf couldn't help but take a big bite to eat first, Zhao Ke's cooking skills naturally didn't say, and the dwarf and middle-aged people who ate it were full of oil.
However, the two also noticed that Zhao Ke always kept a moderate distance from both Pegasus and Li Laohan, which made the two see a lot of information.
"Wait!"
At this time, Li Laohan suddenly paused, raised his head and carefully looked at the surrounding woods, raised his eyebrows, and stared at the bushes behind him carefully.
Squeak Squeak......
I only heard the sound of a gust of wind blowing in the distance, but the sound was not very similar, and as the sound got closer, it sounded like the screams of rats.
"Run!"
Suddenly, Li Laohan's pupils tightened, he didn't know what he saw, and he ran away as soon as he turned around.
Although the rest of the people didn't understand what Li Laohan saw, they wouldn't stay and wait for death when they saw this, and they chased after him.
At this time, Zhao Ke and the others received the mission news at the same time.
[Mission 2: Leave the Netherworld]
[Hint: Rush to the Yin Yang Inn thirty miles to the east, the owner of the inn can send you away from the Yin and Yang Inn, but ...... The premise is that you have to come up with something that will satisfy the owner of the Yin-Yang Inn. 】
"To the east!"
Obviously, Li Laohan and the others also got the news, changed their direction, and went straight to the east.
Squeak Squeak......
The strange sound behind him became stronger and stronger, Zhao Ke frowned, and in the state of nature's breath, his movement speed in the woods was only faster than the rest of the people.
But he always suppressed his speed, allowing himself to follow closely behind Pegasus and the others, and kept a distance from Pegasus and the others, slowing down from time to time, and accelerating suddenly, making people feel as if he was about to fall behind.
Slide......
At this time, Zhao Ke noticed a black shadow stabbing past his feet, "What is it??" Zhao Ke looked back and saw that the black shadow was gone in a flash in the bushes, and there were more and more black shadows around, obviously if he continued to run, he would definitely be caught up.
"Run to the left!"
What Zhao Ke noticed, the rest of the people had naturally noticed it, and the Pegasus, who was running in front, suddenly changed direction, wanting to break out before he was surrounded.
It's just that Pegasus just stepped into the grass, and he couldn't help but feel a cool air instantly surging into his heart, only to see the dense mice in front of him, all as big as footballs, which made people's scalp numb.
"Get out of the way!"
Fortunately, at this time, Li Laohan on the side followed closely behind, summoned the black stick in his hand, swept away the bushes with a stick, and swept the mice inside.
"Damn, aren't they just a few mice?"
Seeing this, the dwarf behind couldn't help but curse, but soon he couldn't scold, only heard a "bang" behind him, a big tree smashed down, and suddenly countless dense rats came out of the bushes, the number was so large that it was simply chilling.
Rat plague! No, it would be more appropriate to make it a rat flood.
There are too many, densely packed together, it is even more chilling than the man-eating ants, I can't imagine what will happen once you are overwhelmed by these black mice, it makes people feel chills when they think about it.
"Kill it!" Pegasus' face turned grim.
At the moment, they are surrounded by these rats, if they can't kill them as soon as possible, and wait for more rats to pounce on them, when the time comes, they will be completely overwhelmed in an instant.
"Rush high, ahead!"
The dwarf pointed to the steep slope in front of him, where the terrain was high enough to avoid the impact of the rat flood, and even if a rat climbed up, they could take advantage of the geographical advantage and not be swallowed up by the rat flood.
Seeing this, the group immediately changed direction and began to charge towards a high place.
"Boy, don't go up!"
Zhao Keben followed behind, but at this time, he only heard a hoarse scream from his arms, and stopped him from continuing to climb up.
Looking down, it was the three crazy chefs, I didn't know when, the cowhide bag around his waist was broken, and the three crazy kitchens showed a mouth to Zhao Ke and said: "These are the ghost rats of the Yin Cao, so many big groups, there must be a rat king behind them, and when you climb up, you will be consciously dead." ”
"Don't lie to me!"
When Zhao Ke heard this, his face couldn't help but show a little suspicion.
"What am I lying to you about, Lao Tzu only has a head left now, if you go up, I won't even have a head left."
The system of psychic mediums is very special, as long as the head is still there, the body can be repaired by a tinker, but if the head is gone, it will be completely finished.
"Listen to me, see the ditch over there, ghosts and rats don't like to burrow in the ground, you hide in it, bury yourself with soil, whether you can hide or not, it's up to you."
The three crazy chefs are also anxious for Zhao Ke, if Zhao Ke is finished, he will also be completely finished, and he can only hope that Zhao Ke will gamble.
"Good! If that doesn't work, I'll feed you to the rats as soon as possible. ”
After Zhao Ke finished speaking, he didn't rush to the gutter according to the words of the three crazy cooks, his eyes were raised, and he saw Pegasus not far away, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly took out Cuilan's head and held it in his hand, and at the same time activated the breath of nature, and after the whole figure was blurred, it quickly disappeared into the bushes.
"Huh, what about the kid?"
Li Laohan turned around, took a look, and found that Zhao Ke was actually gone.
"What's missing? Damn, Lao Tzu's stamp is still on him, don't die this kid. Pegasus looked back and was stunned, and suddenly couldn't help but scold.
The stamps they put on Zhao Ke didn't intend to really let Zhao Ke leave like this, if this kid died, it would be a big loss.
"Leave it alone, rush forward."
Old Man Li gritted his teeth and urged Pegasus to continue moving forward, but at this moment, Old Man Li's left eyelid suddenly jumped, and he subconsciously lowered his head to dodge, only to see a cold light flying away against his forehead.
"Bang!"
The cold light quickly refracted on the trunk of the tree, and then bounced at the dwarf at another angle.
"Dongzi!"
The dwarf seemed to have been on guard for a long time, stretched out his hand and slapped the cold light away, and when he looked back, he saw Dongzi's face in the bushes, staring at him coldly.
