Chapter 17: The Rat's Nest

To put it bluntly, the so-called tap wind is not as scary as it sounds, and I have seen this phenomenon in many books, but because the location of the occurrence is different, various explanations are also different!

Of course, no matter what you call it, if it's just a gust of wind, it won't cause anything unusual, so don't take it personally.

"Toot ......"

My hanging heart just relaxed a little, at this moment, with a rapid whistle, my body moved, quickly ran towards the exit, the door of the armory room Xiaoyu has turned on the flashlight again, the face can not see whether scared or excited, after seeing me appear, with a trembling hand pointed to a big mouse on the ground and said to me: "Arrow... Dwindling..."

I gasped, looking at the mouse lying on the ground as big as a sheep, I was instantly stunned, this mouse is all black, the hair will be a little shiny under the irradiation of the flashlight, although the volume is huge, but the body is slender, with the pointed head, to the light rain called its name, but one thing is a little peculiar, the beard hair on both sides of its nose is a foot long, I really don't know if it can play an auxiliary role in running such a long beard.

Wait, could it be that the gust of wind just now was brought up by its running, then this speed is too fast, and the footsteps fell silently, completely unnoticed, if this is a beast, it attacked me just now, then I am very likely to become the burial object of the tomb owner here.

Thinking of this, I smiled bitterly.

But accompanied by my wry laughter was Xiaoyu's cry: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to, I want to know that if it's you, I will never do anything to you." ”

Looking at Xiaoyu's actions, I wondered in my heart, could it be that he couldn't raise this thing, this is too, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Danfeng, trying to find some answer, but this kid turned back to that pale state, and was obviously scared enough by such a thing on the ground. But fortunately, there were more people at this time, and he also gained a lot of courage, so he said to me: "Actually, when you went in just now, Brother Xiaoyu and I did sit in the corner of the wall and didn't move, but just a few seconds before the big mouse ran over, Brother Xiaoyu and I heard a loud noise in front of the tomb, maybe Brother Xiaoyu subconsciously stretched out his arm and wanted to signal me to go over and take a look, I didn't see it clearly, but I can be sure that at the same time as his short sword stretched out, this big mouse happened to run over, However, this short sword is too sharp, and the moment it slides, this big mouse will break its own chamber! ”

I laughed dumbly, but Xiaoyu's expression was really sad, and it was obvious that this kid was not the slightest obsession with these so-called 'rare beasts'.

It was at this time that I looked at the wound of this 'arrow rat' again and should have been pressed to the ground by the side, at this time he was not completely dead, and his body was still slightly shaking, I saw that the blood in the ground gradually flowed to the feet of Xiaoyu when he pulled him and said: "Okay, if you really don't want to go, we will bury him later, and it can be regarded as a comfort to the living soul, as a wild animal can get the treatment of burial, it is not in vain that it walks in the world." ”

Xiaoyu stood up, wiped a handful of tears, looked really sad, and said to me: "Its full name is 'Abyss Dreadmill Squirrel' At present, the biological world knows very little about it, even I heard an old Spanish professor inadvertently mention it by chance, but I looked for a lot of information but I didn't even see a photo, I didn't expect to encounter it here, but I killed it again, sin!" ”

I wondered: "You haven't seen the photo, how do you know that this is what you call 'arrow squirrel', in case it's just an ordinary big mouse, you won't cry in vain." ”

Xiaoyu said: "No, you go and look at his eyes!" ”

After listening to him, I squatted down and looked carefully, at this time this is a big mouse has died, but its eyes are a little strange, the eyes seem to be dug out by force, fortunately the wound is very small, in addition to the fur black does not look very obvious, or put it on people, walking on the street, it can definitely scare a child to cry.

Xiaoyu continued: "In fact, you can tell from the name that this creature lives deep underground all year round, its eyes have long been degenerated, and it usually relies on its sense of smell and the touch of the beard on its face to perceive its direction, just like the sonar of a bat, but it moves like a rabbit and moves like the wind, at least for the time being, there should be no creature that can speed faster than it in the dark." ”

I quipped, "Not in the dark, but in the daylight." ”

Xiaoyu didn't answer, but her expression was a little dignified and continued: "This 'arrow rat' is vegetarian, usually harmless, but it has a very strong vitality, and it can survive with the extremely low water at the bottom of the ground, but why does it appear here?" Although we don't know much about it, we don't know its origin and life distribution area, but this northwest Gobi is not a good choice, in addition to the fact that this ancient tomb is only a few dozen meters from the ground, and there are stone brick walls around it, how does it survive? ”

Before he could finish speaking, I picked up the topic and said, "You mean artificially raised." ”

Xiaoyu frowned and said, "It's not that it's not without ......."

Who knew that before his words were finished, he heard Zhang Danfeng say: "Look at the front of the tomb!" ”

Just now, Xiaoyu and I have been studying this 'arrow rat', and we didn't pay attention to anything else, after Zhang Danfeng's reminder, we came back to our senses, looked into the depths of the tomb, and saw that the candle lights on the walls on both sides of the tomb in front of us that had been silent for many years were rapidly lit up one by one in the direction of the tomb door on our side at a fuse-like speed.

The three of us were stunned at the same time when we saw this scene, and said in our hearts: Oh no, there are really people, we all know that although this kind of tomb oil lamp has spontaneous combustion, it will definitely not burn inexplicably, so if it is because of the spontaneous combustion of phosphorus caused by the entry of oxygen, why now?

Although I am not an expert in explosives, as a special operations veteran who has been a special operations veteran for four years, I still know more or less about chemical configuration, but I still have no clue in the face of this situation, thinking of this, I glanced at Xiaoyu, and threw him an inquiring look, after all, he is knowledgeable, his brain is good, and he can reason about everything.

I stomped my feet angrily, and I couldn't take care of Zhang Danfeng, so I hurriedly caught up, but the main tomb was terrible, more than a mile away, and I also carefully observed the situation of the tomb wall in the process of running, trying to find some murals, texts and the like to introduce this so-called 'general's tomb', but there was still nothing to gain except for a candle lamp connected to a gunpowder lead to be lit.

With a violent crash, my attention was drawn to the front again, and a few strides forward, I entered a bright and spacious room, from where the light source should come out little by little, I should have entered the main burial chamber, but before I could look at the place, I was stunned again.

In front of me, a big rat as big as a fat pig was scurrying wildly around the room.

I'm a god, what kind of bullshit 'general's tomb' this is, I'm completely falling into a rat's nest!

Before I could have a second reaction, Xiao Yu, who had entered the room a few steps first, quickly ran in the direction of the big mouse without saying a word, holding the 'autumn wind', and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Brother, this is the thick-skinned shield rat, it can easily knock over a small car in its crazy state now, if we don't put it down, we may not be able to get out." ”

At the same time as his words fell, a jump stretched out a short sword and stabbed at the shield rat, which shield rat although not quick to talk about, but very crazy, there is no movement law at all, Xiaoyu's short sword did not touch its body was whipped by the tail of the shield rat, the pain he directly let go of his hand, the short sword fell out, and he himself fell down.

Xiao Yu quickly got up and pinched the back of his red and swollen other hand with one hand, and wanted to pick up the short sword on the ground, but at this moment, the shield rat suddenly turned around and rushed towards him!

"Xiaoyu, get out of the way!" I shouted three steps and two steps to run over, but still a few steps slower, although this big rat is fat, but after all, it is a rat, and it is in such a crazy state, how slow can the speed be, I am already anxious at this time, but the function of the body is limited to this, I can only watch the shield rat hit the light rain.

But at this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared on Xiaoyu's side.

In the blink of an eye, with a man's muffled snort, the light rain was pushed onto me like a piece of clothing, and the white shadow also hit the wall with a trail of blood.

But the interesting thing is that this shield rat really interprets the sentence of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, and continues to rush forward stupidly, accompanied by a huge boom, seeing that a hole was knocked out of the wall, this is still the strength of someone in front of him to buffer it, but this shield rat can't stand it, shaking his head tremblingly, and seems to be stabilizing his consciousness.

Thinking of people, I noticed that the white figure that flew out just now, being hit by that kind of thing is probably no less comfortable than being hit by a drifting Wuling Hongguang on Akinayama Mountain.

I gently slapped Xiaoyu and said, "It's okay, I'm still alive, hurry up and pick up the autumn wind now and hide well." ”

Xiaoyu said 'um' and ran over to pick up the short sword without saying a word, and I also rushed to the side of the white shadow who had saved Xiaoyu's life just now, but the funny thing was that under such nervous vigilance in my heart, the big mouse like a pig actually walked around the room gracefully, completely ignoring us.

I shook my head and smiled bitterly and ran to the man without delay, only to find that this person was dressed in white but covered in blood, and the marks on his body seemed to be torn by some kind of creature were clearly visible, it is not difficult to understand that he must have encountered a swarm of rats as big as cats I just met. He was trying to walk towards the wall with one hand, as if he was trying to give him a chance to breathe a little longer, and I couldn't bear to look behind him, so I gently put his arm on my shoulder, and held him as far away as possible from the 'head' of the big mouse, because I felt that I really couldn't call it 'only' anymore.

At this time, Xiaoyu had already held the autumn wind in his hand, and was going to provoke the big mouse, I shouted him back with a soft shout, although this kid's eyes were full of reluctance, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, so I had to give up and come back to me.

At this time, I had already decided to go out of this tomb first to make other plans, and when I was about to walk to the door of the tomb, in another corner of this room, I heard Zhang Danfeng's angry roar and the sound of punching and kicking:

"I'll fuck your mother, return the master to me!"
