Chapter 43: The Black Mouse
Chapter 43: The Black Mouse
The Bronze Bird is moving? Could it be that the organs are still functioning? We all hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, the bird of prey in the bronze tree above us had changed its posture at some point. Its previously sharp claws now seemed to be fully folded, and its head was raised high, as if it was about to take off.
And the bronze bird that the old python said was moving, more referring to the mouth of the bronze bird. The bronze bird's beak was opening in response to the contraction of the bronze claws. As soon as we saw this situation, we immediately understood what Bao Ye would hang on it.
Zhang Hefang looked at the bronze bird and said, "This is a mechanism, no wonder Bao Ye's body is hung on it." The bronze bird had to have something hanging from its claws, or the trap would trigger. ”
Bin Zi said: "That is to say, in order to prevent the mechanism from being triggered, the person who stole the corpse of the turtle spirit quickly hung the body of Bao Ye on it, so that the mechanism of the bronze bird could not function." ”
I watched the bronze bird's beak grow and said, "It seems that this is indeed the case, which means that the person who stole the corpse will never be alone, and it is absolutely impossible for a person to steal the corpse and quickly hang the corpse on it." ”
Seeing that the bronze bird's mouth had fully grown, we found that the bronze bird was hollow inside, and inside the open mouth was black and rumbling, and from it there was a squeaky sound, as if something was about to come out.
Suddenly, two red bright spots appeared inside the bronze bird's beak. We didn't dare to act rashly, and we watched with bated breath what it was.
The two small red dots flashed twice in the bronze bird's beak, and then made a "squeak" and rushed out of it at once. Suddenly, the bronze bird's beak was like a huge faucet, and countless pitch-black objects erupted from it.
We looked closely, and the cold sweat came down, and what spewed out of the bronze bird was nothing else, but a group of big, fat mice! Of course, in this kind of evil place, no matter how ordinary things are, they can't be taken lightly. Although it was a group of rats, they were obviously much larger than normal mice, and those ghostly red eyes were enough to show that these guys were not easy to mess with.
From the mouth of the bronze bird, there was a steady stream of huge black rats, and soon, there were so many black rats around us that we couldn't even count them, and we could only retreat frequently.
The black rats were extremely aggressive, and they screamed desperately as they lunged at us. Soon, I had several black rats crawling on my body, their teeth small but extremely sharp, and they could easily pierce our clothes, tear at our flesh, and make us miserable.
These black rats seem to have been hungry for a long, long time, and bite almost anything they see, regardless of whether they can eat it or not. The first to suffer was Bao Ye's corpse, his body was instantly swallowed by black rats like a tide, and when those rats passed, Bao Ye's already tattered corpse was almost no bones left.
A group of us ran backwards with a scream, we had no guns left, and it was clear that it was quite stupid to fight these tens of thousands of black rats with long knives. However, even if we escaped, we were no match for the group of little things, and soon, several of us were crawling with black rats. They jump up and down on us, and whenever they find a crevice, they bite hard, bringing out a small piece of flesh.
Everyone screamed and screamed, and we couldn't move an inch, and if we continued like this, we would be eaten alive by the rats. I covered my mouth and shouted to Bu Jin, "Bu Jin, try if you can use the Spirit Extraction Demon Jade to deal with them." ”
Before Bu Jin could answer me, Zhang Hefang on the side shouted: "No, the Spirit Drawing Demon Jade only has an effect on dead things or Gu worms, and this group of rats doesn't seem to be Gu, just a group of highly aggressive rodents." ”
"Ahh Xiao Xia exclaimed, and we hurriedly turned our heads to look at her. Even if Xiao Xia didn't care when facing the corpse, she was a girl after all, and she still screamed loudly uncontrollably when she saw so many disgusting and aggressive animals rushing straight at her.
However, it didn't matter if she screamed, but her mouth was wide open, and in the blink of an eye, a fat mouse burrowed into her mouth. I watched this and almost didn't throw it up on the spot, so I hurriedly covered my mouth and nose with my hands.
Looking at Xiao Xia again, the fat mouse had completely burrowed into her mouth, leaving only a tail the thickness of a little finger dangling outside, extremely disgusting. I saw Natsu's throat begin to swell rapidly, spurting blood from the corner of her mouth, even as her hand tugged at the rat's tail to no avail. The rat scurried up and down her throat, and soon, Natsu fell to her knees, and the other rats noticed that the man was dying, and immediately rushed over there.
Seeing this situation, Bin Zi and Lao Qi immediately pulled out their waist knives and rushed to Xiao Xia to help her get rid of some of the rats on her body. However, every time they knocked down a group of rats, another group of rats pounced on them, and there was nothing they could do to stop them.
The old python shouted while dealing with the rat on his body: "This is not a way, these things live in the dark all year round, they should be afraid of strong light, quickly get a flare!" ”
Bin Zi and the old man understood, and immediately took out the flare worm and fired a shot at our incessant swarm of rats. Sure enough, the huge heat and white light generated by the burning of the magnesium powder began to cause the rats to retreat frequently, and some of the rats were directly burned. Like frightened wild horses, the burning rats immediately scurried around, and soon set the bodies of their other companions on fire.
As soon as we saw that this method was effective, we hurriedly took out all the flares in our backpacks, and shot several times at the rats, regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one. Suddenly, the swarm of black rats suddenly turned into moving braziers, crashing around.
The old python took out a small tin can from his backpack, then tore open one of his clothes and stuffed it inside, lit it with a lighter, and threw it at the rats. The small tin can didn't seem to be thick, and it made a crisp sound when it fell on the bluestone slab, but it didn't cause much damage.
The rats avoided the small tin can at first, and when they saw that there was no danger, they all surrounded it again. After a while, I heard the small tin can make a "bang", and a huge fireball exploded in an instant, killing those rats, scorching and scorching, and suffering heavy losses.
A dozen flares and a small grenade had killed most of the rats, and some were half-dead, and the smell of burning was in the air, and the thought of thousands of roasted rats here made me vomit. But fortunately, our situation has improved, after getting rid of the rats on our bodies, we killed them with a waist knife, at this time, all of us were hung with colors, and the fat face of the old python had countless small holes, and I myself was naturally not much better.
However, it is imperative to go and see Xiao Xia's injuries.
When we rushed to Natsu's side, she was still convulsing, and it looked like she didn't have much to live, but even if she did, the little girl would be out of shape.
Binzi and Lao Qi were still tugging at the tail of the black mouse that had burrowed into Xiao Xia's mouth, and Xiao Xia's entire face and clothes had been stained red by the blood he had spitted out.
The old python stepped forward, frowned, looked very sad, and said, "Alas, what a good girl, how, how did she become like this." ”
Zhang He was like an earthy color, looked at Xiao Xia who was constantly twitching, and said in a low voice: "It looks like his throat should have been broken." ”
I looked at Xiao Xia's painful expression, and shouted at Binzi and the old man: "What are you still rubbing, does a mouse have so much strength?" Neither of you can pull it out? ”
Binzi said: "It's not a matter of strength, this tail is too slippery to catch at all." ”
As soon as I looked, sure enough, Binzi and Lao Yu couldn't use their strength at all, and what they were doing now was nothing more than delaying the black mouse from getting into Xiao Xia's body. However, this did not change the black tail that entered Bu Jin's throat little by little.
After the last moment, the tail finally disappeared. We saw that something in the area where Natsu's throat was swollen was rapidly moving towards her chest.
Xiao Xia looked at the few of us with helpless, painful eyes, and pointed weakly at her chest, she couldn't make any sound. However, we all know what she means - give her a good time!
We couldn't bear to look at Xiao Xia's convulsive and spasmodic body, and in the end, Zhang Hefang took out his waist knife, pointed at Xiao Xia's bulging chest, frowned and said, "Xiao Xia, I'm sorry." ”
……
The team of ten people has so far that four people have died - Li Zhongkai died in Kurosawa Lake, and Brother Liao died at the hands of Bao Ye of Zhong Gu, although Bao Ye doesn't know who killed Lu Dao, but now there is not even a whole corpse, Xiao Xia - we gave her a ride.
After Zhang Hefang finished Xiao Xia, everyone fell into silence. This time, the mission was a failure. The defeat was not because we lost four people, but because these casualties were worthless at this point. Because, up to now, we haven't found the body of the turtle spirit, let alone any magic weapons.
In the team, the most frustrated was Zhang Hefang, everyone wanted to comfort him, but they didn't know what to say, everyone just sat there paralyzed, panting.
Suddenly, I remembered that I had seen a figure in a house next to the bronze tree, and I got up to take a look there, but after I had not taken two steps, I suddenly heard a few more "rubbing" sounds on the other side of the bronze tree.
Everyone's faces changed, and the old python cried and said, "Fuck, isn't it, there is still a mechanism?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge noise suddenly exploded throughout the palace, and a huge wave of heat accompanied by countless boulders smashed towards us.
