Chapter 13: The Firetail Rat
The snow fell heavily, obscuring the view, and the road was covered with snow as thick as palms. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In a crack in the back wall of the cheese shop, a fiery red mouse emerged, with a round belly and a whisker sticking to milk foam, as if it had just eaten a full meal and was about to return to the nest. However, it did not know that a pair of bright eyes were already fixed on it.
Tang Qi stared at the mouse from afar and licked his lips.
Firetailed rats, there are such evil beasts in the city. In order to make sure that he was not mistaken, Tang Qi even used farsightedness, and the surprise was difficult to hide after confirmation. The firetail rat is an extremely weak evil beast, although it is tyrannical, but due to the difference in strength, it rarely takes the initiative to attack people.
However, the Firetail Rat is an out-and-out fire-based evil beast, with the blood of a fire-based evil beast on its body, and the materials for the production of the scorching totem have been lost. Tang Qi checked that the potion was wrapped and slowly approached the firetail rat.
Emerging from the crack in the wall, the firetail crawled quickly along the corner, and Tang Qi was not in a hurry at all, and followed it closely. Rats are extremely fecund, and so are fire-tailed rats, a fire-tailed rat has very little blood, but a litter is considerable.
The southern fire-type evil beasts were scarce and powerful, and the fire-tailed rat was the only way to get the blood of the fire-type evil beasts, and Tang Qi followed it cautiously.
He didn't get far before the firetail rat got into a sewer, and Tang Qi didn't hesitate and followed in.
It's cold in Winterfell, and the sewers are wide and deep enough to cross horse-drawn carriages.
Dark, foul-smelling, but not cold, this is the sewers of Winterfell, where many homeless poor people and homeless people live, it looks like an underground city, but the inhabitants are some of the darkest people.
Squinting accustomed to the darkness, the firetail rat's red fur was very conspicuous in the dark, not afraid that it would run away, Tang Qi followed unhurriedly.
After bypassing a few forks and crossing a few sewage, the firetail rat had no intention of stopping, Tang Qi frowned slightly, worried about running into the sewer 'residents', and he knew that the firetail rat was worth more than himself.
Seeing the firetail rat bypass another fork in the road, Tang Qi couldn't help but grab it, however, at this moment, he suddenly stopped.
There was a sound in front of him, and he didn't care about catching mice, Tang Qi leaned on the wall and looked inside. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen people in an open space in front of them. Looking closely, Tang Qi's pupils shrank, how could they be here?
It was no one else in front of him, it was the black street rat he had fought against last time, the bald head headed by the head and the mouse using the dagger were there, the two sides seemed to be arguing about something, Tang Qi stretched out his ears and tried to listen, and there was a faint word coming.
"Valen, the two rings that I said were good, and now there is only one left, how can I explain to the boss. The bald head said angrily.
"You're the team leader, ask me what I'm doing. The assassin with a dagger in his waist said quietly, and it was then that Tang Qi realized that this guy's name was Valen.
"It's your mistake to lose a ring!
"It's ridiculous, you gave the information, I stole it back, I will lose a ring, and I am not responsible, you still wait for the boss to pull your skin. Valen didn't take the threat of baldness to heart at all, stomped his feet baldly, but did nothing, obviously very jealous of Valen.
......
Tang Qi was also very jealous, he was about to leave, and the firetail rat gave up wisely, anyway, it was not enough to do anything alone.
As soon as he took a step back and turned around, Tang Qi suddenly froze, and cold sweat flowed down instantly. In front of his eyes, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness, flashing with tyranny and cruelty, like thousands of blood candles swaying.
The fiery red was like a stream of filth, filling the sewers ahead.
Firetail rats!
Lots of firetail rats!!
Tang Qi is like a man's back, and many ants can bite and kill elephants, not to mention that the fire-tailed rat is also an evil beast in the weak, and the sound of Suo Suo in the dark is terrifying. Tang Qi had the courage to turn on his farsightedness, and in the next second, he gave up the idea of returning the same way.
"What people!" was such a big movement, and Valen and his party immediately noticed it, and they drew their weapons and roared hideously with bald heads. Who can there be in the sewer, it is nothing more than a homeless man and a poor ghost, Valen is a popular person next to the boss, he can't afford to provoke himself, and he has lost face, just killing two people to relieve his anger.
The bald head waved the sword, and when he saw a figure jumping out in embarrassment, he couldn't help laughing, but the laughter soon stopped abruptly, like a male duck who was choked by the throat, and his hideous expression became pale, fearful, and distorted ridiculously.
But at this time, no one would laugh at him, including Valen, who looked a little desperate when he saw a red tide coming.
"Run!" roared the bald head.
Without his reminder, everyone rushed to run deeper, and at this time, no one paid attention to Tang Qi before the firetail rat tide.
Seeing the people fleeing together, Tang Qi didn't know why he suddenly became less nervous, and his thoughts flew around, thinking of a way to get out. The squeak of the firetail rat tide behind him was deafening, and soon, a fork in the road appeared in front of him, and his eyes lit up, and he glanced at the dirt stream on the ground.
To escape, the important thing is to find the right path, if you go to the dead end, you will definitely die.
The fastest runners in the group were Donkey, Valen, and Bald Head, all the three of them left everyone else behind, and some of the slower runners were overtaken by the firetails, and the miserable cries echoed through the sewers.
Everyone had the feeling of being sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, but they were two points faster at their feet.
The fastest flow of sewage is the pathway, and Bald Head and Valen seem to have thought of it, and the three of them rushed into the fork in the road on the left one after another. And when the people behind him saw it, many people followed it, and only a few backward people saw it, and with a turn of their eyes, they chose another path.
The fire-tailed rat came to the fork in the road, divided into two waves like a tide, and chased closely.
The firetail rat tide behind it was half gone, and no one cheered, which was still a terrifying number. In fact, someone had already been caught up again, hundreds of fire-tailed rats crawling all over their bodies, their fangs that could make holes in the stones, bite through the skin, burrow through the breaches, dig as they ate, and in the blink of an eye, they dug through them.
Before the screams fell, only bones remained.
Now there are only 5 people left in the group, and the 3 people in the early stage of the source qi are at the end, and the squeaking sound of the firetail rat is behind the ear, and they don't even dare to turn back, only to feel that their ankles may be bitten at any time and dragged into the rat tide.
Whit ran like crazy, he didn't want to die, he hadn't played enough with the women in the brothel, and he hadn't spent the money he had robbed, how could he die in the mouth of a mouse!
Feeling the sound of rats behind him, the tear ducts couldn't help but lose control, and looking at the three Tang Qi people in front of him who were gradually closing the distance, he became more and more desperate. At this time, a gust of wind blew around him, which frightened him into dissipation, and he looked at it when he saw that it was not a mouse, but Thorndike, which was damn running so fast!
Whitt's eyes widened, and suddenly, his ankle ached, and he screamed, and a firetail rat tore off a piece of flesh from his ankle.
Finished!
Whitt's face was desperate, he could feel his pace slowing down, and if he continued like this, he would surely die.
In desperation, he saw Thorndike in front of him, a vicious thought rose uncontrollably, took out a handful of copper from his arms, slammed it into Thorndike's thigh with a cruel smile.
With a scream, Thorndike lost his balance and fell to the ground, and was chased by the firetail rat almost instantly, looking at the firetail rat in his eyes, he held his sword and slashed at the resistance, each sword could kill several firetail rats, but this was in vain, and the firetail rat tide quickly devoured him.
