Chapter 143—The Calm Before the Storm (5)
Hong Shiyan listened to Shiruo's words when he returned to the sea, and immediately shouted with wide eyes, "What......! Who has such a big stone at the entrance that can move it to block the hole?"
Ruo frowned and shook his head with a serious expression as he returned to the sea, "I wonder about this, I don't have the good ears of Fluttershy, but no matter who or any creature wants to move a rock that big, it will make a lot of noise. But I kept here, and I didn't see any giant beasts, nor did I hear any noise, but while guarding these unconscious people, I accidentally looked up, and suddenly found that there was no light from the gap where we entered, and I began to think that there was a black fog outside, but when I looked near the entrance of the cave, I found that the gap had been completely blocked. ”
When he heard Guihai say this, everyone showed a look of surprise, and Chi Mudie suddenly remembered the scream he heard in the tunnel just now, so he asked, "We heard a human scream in the tunnel just now, was it from your side?"
Who knew that as soon as her words came out, Ruo and Hong Shiyan's faces immediately showed a look of horror when they returned to the sea, and after glancing at each other, they said with a serious expression: "No, we thought it was sent by your side, and it was just because we were afraid that something would happen to you just now, so we decided to go our separate ways, staying here alone to guard these unconscious people, and looking for you alone." ”
At this point, everyone was silent with solemn faces, and after a while, Lin Mumu cautiously asked: "So, someone deliberately led us here to trap us in this cave? But how did he know that we would split into two ways? We also made a decision early this morning!"
Lin Mumu unconsciously glanced at Sha Xiaoyu as she spoke, and found that she was also frowning, as if she was thinking about something, so she pretended to be casual and walked to Guihai Luoxue's side, pointed to Guihai Luoxue with her eyes, and quietly gestured to her and asked, "Xuexue, don't you think there is a big problem here?"
Guihai Luoxue first nodded lightly to Lin Mumu, and then deliberately pretended to think and said to everyone: "This matter is very strange, the decision that we want to enter here separately was made this morning, and it is impossible for outsiders to know, and now someone has deliberately led us here, and blocked the exits on both sides, could this be the guy who came to spy on intelligence among us?"
Chi Mudie on the side shook his head lightly and said: "No, if there are other people among us, even if he has been stealth and sneaking, I can hear his heartbeat and footsteps that are different from ours, but since we entered the Dragon Canyon, I haven't heard this kind of different sound, and now that I think back, the scream I heard just now doesn't seem to belong to any of us, and I don't even know if it's from a human ......."
As soon as Chi Mudie's words came to this, there was a sudden scream in the cave that was exactly the same as just now, this time Chi Mudie seemed to have been prepared, and from the moment the sound came to her ears, she had clearly identified the source of the sound, only to see that she immediately pointed to a certain place at the top of the cave, and said to everyone: "The voice came from over there, it doesn't seem to be a human voice, you wait here first, I'll go up and take a look alone." ”
As she spoke, Chi Mudie threw the short blade tied with spider silk cord just now into the crack in the rock wall at the top of the cave, although there was only a faint light on the ground, but the short blade thrown by Chi Mudie was just right stuck in the rock crevice.
Chi Mudie first tugged the rope in his hand, and after making sure that it could bear its own weight, he climbed to the top of the cave with a few flexible strokes, and looked carefully into the tunnel where the sound was made, but in an instant he saw something rushing out of the tunnel at a very fast speed, so he quickly dodged, and the thing that came out jumped straight over Chi Mudie's body and fell towards the bottom of the cave.
Several people watching at the bottom of the cave saw Chi Mudie's action, and when they wanted to ask, they saw a black shadow the size of a human head falling straight down from the direction of Chi Mudie, but just before everyone could see what it was, they suddenly saw a leaf-shaped hidden weapon with a cold light flying straight down from the top of the cave, stabbing into the body of the black shadow and nailing it firmly to the ground.
Only then did everyone see clearly by the firelight that the thing that had just fallen and was nailed by Chi Mudie's hidden weapon was a huge fat rat with a round body, which was not completely dead at this time, struggling on the ground, and making one strange scream after another like a human scream.
"Sand boy, burn that rat to death, and then come up and plug this hole with your fire-based spell! This is a man-eating rat called Nightmare Scream, no, it's not so much a man-eating rat as it is that they eat everything, as long as it is where they pass, all the creatures are left are the bones!"
Hearing Chi Mudie's shout, Sha Xiaobian was so frightened that he hurriedly threw out a fireball, burning the fat rat on the ground to ashes, and quickly climbed on the rope that Chi Mudie fixed on the top of the cave, and before he could take a look at the hole, there were groups of screams in his ears.
The blazing fireball rolled and burned all the way, blackening and scorching the rats that poured in, and the air immediately began to fill the air with a stench of scorched and rotting corpses, Hong Shiyan, who was standing below, was smoked and frowned, squatted down again, picked up a wooden stick that Ruoruo collected to make a fire when he returned to the sea, pulled the mouse that had been burned to char on the ground, and muttered in a low voice: "This big mouse is so fat, I thought I could finally eat a meal of meat! I didn't expect it to be stinky." ”
Hong Jiu'er, who was standing beside him, heard his muttering, and looked at him with disdain: "Hong Shiyan, haven't you eaten for many years? Haven't you heard Chi Mudie say, is this a man-eating mouse?
Hong Shiyan sighed helplessly, and said to Hong Jiu'er: "No way, who made me hungry now, I don't have the strength to be hungry, otherwise the rock that blocked the entrance of the cave, I can easily split it in half." ”
"Oh my God, what does this smell like? How can it stink like this?" Just as Sha Xiaobian was busy burning those man-eating rats that crawled in, the silver bracelet on Chi Mudie's hand suddenly let out a burst of words, and then turned into the little dragon more than a foot long coiled around Chi Mudie's arm, staring at the cave with wide eyes and curiosity.
"Huh, how can there be such disgusting fat rats here? Aren't they only living in the cold snow?"
Chi Mudie listened to the words of the little dragon on her arm, and asked curiously, "Have you ever seen this kind of mouse?" Are you sure they only live in the snowfield?"
"I've seen it, the last time I was fine, I came out to move my body, and I saw this rat on the snowfield near the trial cave, I thought it was a fat rabbit, so I caught one to eat, and I was disgusted that I didn't eat for several years, and then I had nothing to do, and I caught a mouse and threw it in the desert to see if it would grab territory with the gerbils there, and it didn't take a few hours before it died. ”
Listening to Xiaolong's words, Chi Mudie couldn't help but glance at Hong Shiyan below, and sighed helplessly in his heart: "You are really the same dragon clan!" But he suddenly found the clue in it, and exclaimed: "No, you said that they only live in the snow field, but the Dragon Canyon is located in the south of the desert, which is hotter than the desert, so it is impossible for these rats to come here by themselves." ”
As soon as Chi Mudie spoke, he jumped to the ground, and ran to the exit of the cave blocked by the boulder in a few steps, pointed to the boulder and said to the little dragon on his arm: "Dragon God, can you push this rock away?" You said that this kind of rat can't live long in a hot place, so someone must have deliberately put these rats here, and the person who released these rats must still be around here. ”
The rest of the people also reacted violently after listening to Chi Mudie's words, and they all came to the exit of the cave together, ready to rush out and catch the person who wanted to kill them the moment the dragon god pushed the rock away, and the dragon god also returned to its original size, and used its huge head to resist the rock blocking the entrance of the cave, and suddenly made a force, and with the roar of the rock rolling, the sunlight from the outside world shone in front of everyone's eyes again.
At the moment when the dragon god pushed away the rock, Chi Mudie and Xiao Lan rushed out of the cave at a very fast speed, and when they looked around, they saw a person wearing a black cloak fleeing in a hurry, and Xiao Lan also reacted immediately, like a blue lightning bolt straight towards the black shadow.
However, just after Xiao Lan knocked down the black shadow and pressed it down, the humanoid object wearing a cloak suddenly turned into a puff of black smoke, and those black smoke turned into two black snakes in an instant, coiling around the wolf claws that were wrapped around Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan was shocked at the abnormality, raised the wolf claws and wanted to get rid of the two black snakes, but the two black snakes were more and more tightly wrapped around Xiao Lan's wolf claws, and when they were about to open their snake mouths to bite Xiao Lan, they were torn off by Chi Mudie, who came later, and cut into several pieces with the short blade on his other hand in an instant.
After the severed snake body fell to the ground, it did not flow blood, but turned into a puff of black smoke and rushed towards Chi Mudie, but at this moment, a white light suddenly appeared on the ground under the black smoke, and a huge purification circle wrapped Chi Mudie and Xiaolan in it, and when the white light dissipated, Guihai Luoxue, who was standing behind Chi Mudie and Xiaolan, winked at them and smiled: "Although I can't keep up with your speed, I can still keep up with remote support." ”
Chi Mudie just wanted to turn around and say something to Guihai Luoxue, but he heard a rustling sound from the top of the mountain, so he immediately took out a poisonous hidden weapon and threw it suddenly in the direction from which the sound came, and then heard a crisp sound of metal colliding, and a figure dressed in black emerged from among the mountains and rocks at a high place.
"Sure enough, you are the only one who can do such a dirty and disgusting thing, Yin Mo!"
