Chapter 519: The Rice Have Appeared, Will the Rat Tomb Be Far Away
Regarding the obsession of the mouse to go to the river to drink water, Xia Jinxiu never understood. However, there have already been two mice, and Xia Jinxiu estimated that it was a mouse hole.
Go back to the site, start work, dig a hole!
The pit was dug again and again, digging for more than 5 hours, and digging more than 3 meters deep, as the military shovel knocked on the stone wall this time, 'hula', as if the white ash layer on the wall was broken, a large piece of stone fell, revealing a hole.
Raise the shovel and poke it so hard that the hole is getting bigger and bigger, and it is obvious that the back is empty.
Rat's nest? Bone Ground!
couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, Xia Jinxiu's excitement turned into a harder shovel......
Lalala, I'm about to dig up the treasure.
Within a few minutes, a large hole large enough for her to pass through was dug out, under the observation of night vision goggles, behind the big hole is a cylindrical space, which is less than a meter with a radius of about 80 or 90 centimeters, turning on the searchlight, Xia Jinxiu put a layer of spiritual defense on herself, and the probe shone inside, and several black objects fell from the sky, accompanied by a sharp mouse cry.
Probably stimulated by the bright light, the three rats fell from above, and after landing on the ground, they quickly climbed the rock wall, and crawled up and disappeared into the darkness.
It's really a rat's nest!
Xia Jinxiu was pleasantly surprised and carefully probed, this is a cylindrical space, with a layer of water at the bottom, not deep or about ten centimeters, and the top is not visible, a bit like a well, but it is not straight, but curved.
This terrain is very familiar and very similar to the sinkhole.
Xia Jinxiu felt that it was very likely that this was the bottom of a sinkhole on the ground.
And on the wall of this stone pit, there are many small holes densely distributed, and when the searchlight shines at the entrance of the cave, you can faintly hear the sound of rustling...... It's definitely a rat hole!
Looking up with the suspension of spiritual power, Xia Jinxiu was sure that this was really a rat's nest, and there were rat holes everywhere.
Now that the rat's nest has been found, what about the rat's graveyard?
Landing, Xia Jinxiu groped in the small puddle at the bottom of the pit, groped for a long time, didn't touch a dead mouse, Xia Jinxiu gave up, okay, the corpses are not here, so, is it to dig a big hole in the stone wall to bury the corpse, or die directly in his own cave?
It was still her military shovel, pulling out the shovel head, Xia Jinxiu used the retractable stick part to tinker with a mouse hole, only poked it three times, and a few withered yellow mice ran out 'whoosh', and after running out of the mouse hole, they scattered in a hurry and disappeared into the darkness above.
Conclusion: A nest of rats lives in a hole.
Since there are live rats living in the cave, the probability of dead rats is very low, could it be that the corpses have all been eaten?
When the light shone on, Xia Jinxiu found that the mouse hole was quite shallow, less than half a meter deep, and there was nothing else in it except for some faded mouse hair.
I dug it out with a stick for a long time, but I didn't find any small granular stones.
I found a few mouse holes in a row, but the mice saw dozens of them, but the spirit stone was still nowhere to be found, Xia Jinxiu estimated that there were only live mice in this hole, where did the dead mice go?
What about rats that are old, sick and dead?
Say yes to the rat graveyard!
Wait, isn't this just a nest of rats?
As soon as this thought came out, Xia Jinxiu's whole person was not good, if it wasn't for the gem mouse, then she would have wasted several days in vain.
Forget it, let's unplan.
Bring laundry leather gloves to prevent staining her combat uniform, Xia Jinxiu caught a mouse, just like killing a chicken, and then disemboweled, although it is also the first time to dissolve a mouse, but for a person who often kills chickens, ducks and fish, this is not difficult.
Stomach ...... of a rat Got it!
The stomach contains only some undecomposed grass and insect corpses.
Well, this one doesn't, the next one.
The next one didn't have one, and the next one went on.
There are 5 in a row, and there is wood! Just when Xia Jinxiu felt very desperate and cool, the sixth one finally opened a stomach stone!
Two oval-shaped stones, the size of corn kernels, after washing away the dirt on the surface in the puddle, blue-green, and reflected in the light, like gems, it is very beautiful.
This is definitely the spirit stone!
Don't ask her why, just look at the looks!
The little stones she picked up outside were really real stones.
It was confirmed that this was really a gem rat, Xia Jinxiu was relieved, since the gem rat is real, then the burial ground cannot be a legend, but ...... Where?
Is it above?
Could it be that one of the caves here is actually a burial ground?
This is also a possibility.
Looking at the pit on the top, Xia Jinxiu ripped off the cumbersome laundry leather gloves on her hands, and the mice appeared, will the mouse tomb be far away!
Directly suspended with spiritual power, Xia Jinxiu flew up vigilantly, at the beginning, the diameter of the tunnel was more than 1.5 meters, which was also spacious, but with the gradual rise in height, the rock layer pit wall gradually transitioned to the soil layer, after the mixed layer of rock and soil, there were more and more shade-loving plants that did not like light......
Among the strange plants, the rats shuttled among them, disturbed by Xia Jinxiu, and disappeared into the depths of the grass one by one in a flash, and then wandered around again after Xia Jinxiu left.
There are tens of thousands of rats here.
Probably because the soil layer is relatively moist and not suitable for nesting, starting from the mixed rock and soil layer, the rat hole is almost gone.
In order to verify that this is a sinkhole, that is, the Eye of Death, even if there is no mouse hole, Xia Jinxiu still goes up, and after rising a certain height, the upper part is transmitted by rare light, exit!
Sure enough, the place near the entrance of the cave was covered with a large amount of withered yellow weeds, and above it was a beautiful blue sky.
Stepping on the pit wall and jumping, Xia Jinxiu found that he had really returned to the dry grass plain.
Of course, it is unknown where her position is.
Looking around, no one was found, Xia Jinxiu looked at his light brain, today is April 2nd, the field assessment is the end of June, and the beginning of June is until the 8th, which is the time period for candidates to return centrally.
She has 2 months to find the burial ground of the gem rat.
She didn't believe she couldn't find it.
Back in the sinkhole, because it is falling, there is no need to use mental power, relying on his own skills, Xia Jinxiu can climb the pit wall down.
Descending to the rock layer, Xia Jinxiu left a big rope nail between the rocks, and after fixing the rope, he grabbed the rope and swung down, which was naturally easier.
After a busy day's work, Xia Jinxiu, who was tired and sleepy, got out of this sinkhole full of gem rats and returned to Spider Square.
Sleep first, look for it tomorrow, there are so many rat holes, there is definitely one of them is a burial hole!
