Wushan Demon Coffin Chapter 42 Rat Plague



I ran as hard as I could, but I knew that if I didn't deal with the rat king, it would keep letting the rats chase me, but it was too cunning to dodge it as soon as it hit me, and with thousands of rats attacking me at the same time, I couldn't do anything about it.

At this moment, my flashlight suddenly shone on a strange place, it was a clear space abruptly in the ancient wood, there was a huge rock in the clearing, two people high, I don't know if it was born here, or it was moved by man, and under the stone, a hole the size of a man was exposed.

I have almost crawled more than a dozen mice, if I hadn't been running violently, it is estimated that they have been bitten miserably, as soon as I saw the hole, I immediately climbed inside, there were mice constantly biting my trouser legs, I only leaned into half of the body, I felt that the leg was densely painful, although the rat could not bite into the meat, but through the pants, the person who could bite cry dad and call mother.

I don't know what animal hit this hole, the entrance is narrow, but the more you climb inside, the wider it is, after my whole body gets in, there are a lot of rats that are pouring into the hole, but because I have the advantage of the position, when I climb to a wide place, I immediately turn around, take off my coat and open it, press down with both feet, and support it with both hands, as if opening a door, locking the rats outside, but it's not a way, I don't know what to do in the dark, I suddenly remembered that I also had cold fireworks on my body, after the cold fireworks were broken, The chemical phosphorus in it is easy to burn, and in Kunlun Mountain, Lao Lei used this to burn the corpse.

I immediately gritted my teeth, threw my coat, and the rats immediately rushed up, I buried my face in my knees, first protected my head and face, and then quickly took out the cold fireworks, broke them and threw them forward, and then I took out the lighter and ignited it, and at one point, a flame burst up, forming a barrier, and scared the rats back together.

When the cold smoke was thrown out, a lot of chemical phosphorus was sprinkled on the scattered rats, and as soon as the fire ignited, their bodies immediately produced a spontaneous combustion reaction, and they scurried around in the holes in pain, and some of them scurried into the rats, causing chaos.

The chemical phosphorus burned for a long time, and I took advantage of this gap to quickly observe the surrounding environment, and at the moment I was in a hole in the ground, and I couldn't tell if it was man-made or made by animals, and the other hole extended into the dark, and I couldn't see how long.

These chemical phosphorus can't last long, although the rats retreat for the time being, but still lingering at the entrance, I estimate, the outside has been surrounded by dense rats, and this passage, I don't know if there are other exits, if it is a dead end, then once the phosphorus fire is extinguished, I will definitely gnaw on my back and there are no bones left, and this is far away from the stuffy oil bottle them, it is estimated that no one can even hear the screams before death.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, at this moment there was still a cold firework left on my body, if it was lit together, it would only be able to buy a few minutes at most, and these few minutes would have no effect on me at all.

At this time, it is definitely not possible to go forward, if you go backwards, maybe there is a glimmer of hope, I gritted my teeth, and crawled into the depths of the hole with a flashlight, and the sound of rats squeaking behind me rang out, as if I couldn't wait to rush up and tear me apart, and I didn't dare to move forward because of the fire, and I screamed in a hurry.

I took advantage of this gap, and drilled forward with my hands and feet, and the more I drilled forward, the more I felt that something was wrong, this hole was bigger than I imagined, at first I needed to lie on my stomach, but now I can hunch my body forward, and the light of the flashlight shoots out, and there is still no end in sight.

At this time, the sound of the rats that had been inaudible became clear again, it seemed that the phosphorus fire had been extinguished, I immediately quickened my pace, my head was almost rubbing against the top of the cave and walking forward, soon, the height of the hole was already one person high, and a lot of fast rats had rushed behind me, at this moment the hole is easy to move, it is best to have a cold smoke fire is not a last resort, can not be easily wasted, I kicked the rats, while running forward.

At this moment, I have basically concluded that this is an artificial hole, because my location is boxy, although the digging is very rough, but I can still see the traces of artificiality, at this moment I don't have time to think, who will be in the mood to dig such a tunnel in the Ghost Thunder Mountain, full of thinking about how to get rid of those overwhelming rats, the so-called thief first capture the king, if there is a way to solve the king of the rat.

During the run, I found that the soil under my feet began to show signs of dampness, under the light of the flashlight, the soil was glowing with a damp black, and there was a faint pungent smell in the air, at this moment, the squeaking sound of the mice behind me suddenly stopped, I subconsciously turned my head to look, and found that the mice stopped brushing, and very strangely, they formed a straight line, just stopped outside the black dirt.

I was stunned for a moment, stopped and gasped, could there be something special about this dirt?

While keeping an eye on the mouses, I grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at the mouses, which immediately scattered and the dirt was empty.

It seems that these rats are really afraid of the dirt. I didn't bother to think about the reason, I felt that I took the opportunity to take a breath, and when I calmed down, I felt a little strange, when I first came into this hole, I couldn't tell whether it was dug by humans or animals, and the entrance was under a big rock, and in general, only animals like to dig their nests under the big rocks.

But now, where I'm located, it's obvious that it's been dug up by man, could it be that the animal's nest happens to be connected to this tunnel? I carefully recalled that just now I climbed all the way here, and it was completely a road leading to here, and I didn't find any other exit, that is to say, this person couldn't have come from other places at all.

Unless...... Unless the original tunnel is sealed.

I suddenly thought of the big rock at the entrance, and the first time I saw it I thought it was very strange, because it was a jungle, and there were no large mountains around, so there would be no such big stone at all, and the stone seemed to be moved up to block the entrance of the cave so that nothing could come out.

Thinking like this, I looked at the rats who didn't dare to move forward, and suddenly my heart sank, could there be something terrible in this? Does it have anything to do with the dirt underground?

I grabbed a handful of mud and studied it, put it on the tip of my nose and smelled it, and suddenly there was a pungent smell, similar to the smell of chemical fertilizer.

How does this smell come about?

I flashed my flashlight to the front of the tunnel, but it still didn't reach the end. Where does such a large hole lead? If you want to build this kind of project in the mountains, you must have a lot of manpower, but who is doing it?

And this cave is very coincidental, it happens to be built under Longyin Peak, what is the connection between this?

I thought about it for a long time, and then I decided to keep going, since this hole was built by man, then there must be a reason for it, maybe there are other exits ahead.

I turned on the flashlight and began to walk along the hole in the ground, the rats did not dare to catch up, I walked a distance, and when I looked back with the flashlight, many of them had already dispersed, probably giving up the idea of gnawing at me.

As I walked, I estimated the distance, from the time I climbed into the entrance to now, I have walked almost three or four hundred meters, the hole is not straight, and there are a few turns in between, so now I can't judge my approximate location, but the further down I go, the more I feel that the meaning of the existence of this hole is not simple, because it is too deep, too big, and the place where it appears is too coincidental.

Who would build such a tunnel deep in the mountains for no reason? And looking at the authentic age, it is obviously not a modern craft, and it has even existed for more than ten years, decades, or maybe hundreds of years.

And after this hole was repaired, someone deliberately sealed the entrance, did he not want people to discover the hole, or did he not want anything inside to escape?

If it's because of the former, then what secrets are hidden in this hole? If it's the latter...... So is there some terrible creature hidden in this?

Just as I was thinking about this question, a drop of cold liquid suddenly dripped onto my forehead, and I immediately raised my hand to wipe it, it was sticky and greasy, not like water, but like the saliva of some cold-blooded animal.

Almost instantly, I rolled forward, I had never had a good impression of cold-blooded animals, especially snakes, whether they were pheasant necks or human-headed snakes.

After a roll, I heard a dense creeping sound above my head, as if something was crawling, and the crawling sound was very similar to that of a snake. I cursed, did I have an indissoluble bond with the snake?

As the sound sounded, more and more liquid flowed down, and it seemed that the thing was above my head, and I didn't think about it, I raised the gun and shot it up, and the sound of the gun echoed in the hole in the ground, and then I had a chance to look up, and I was stunned at this look, not a snake, but a ...... It's a big, small spider.

The reason why it is said to be big and small is because this spider looks very strange, its body is only the size of an adult's fist, and there are blue wavy stripes on its belly, but its legs are ridiculously long, several legs are spread, and the entire roof of the cave is covered by the entire cave, and the roof of the cave is at least two meters wide, that is, this spider the size of a fist, after opening its legs, is actually more than two meters.

The spider's body is too small, the few shots I just put upward, none of the shots were hit, originally I thought it was a big snake, I didn't expect it to be a spider, but I heard people say that all spiders with patterns are highly poisonous.

The spider lay motionless on the roof of the cave, unfazed by my gunshot, and if it weren't for a salivating mouth, I would have thought it was a dead specimen. The saliva dripped onto my face, and there was a pungent smell that looked exactly like the smell of the earth.

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, could it be that those rats are afraid of this spider?

Although this spider is very terrifying, the Rat King's subordinates are not so unhelpful, right?
