Cheese and the others are escorted to the basement of a nearby house, where a giant nezumi moves through the closet against the wall, revealing a hole that can accommodate two people to enter side by side. The mage had thought about why these huge giant rat men could appear as quickly as their short counterparts, and it seemed that the proto-rat people had made special passages for these big men in addition to their ordinary burrows.

What scares Cheese even more is that they know how to help the special individuals in the population, but what really surprises the mage is that these proto-nezumi would actually cover up these special passages for the giant nezumi! You must know that this is not a simple animal instinct, although the ants in the ant colony will also establish channels for different purposes in their anthills due to different division of labor, but they will not hide anything in order to protect these things, but now these proto-rat people, who were once thought by mages to have lost their ability to think, have hidden a trump card in front of humans!

The mage blankly followed the nezumi into the underground passageway, and he felt like a child was selling his ignorance of what he knew. This was more devastating to Cheese than a defeat by force. This also confused the mage as to the purpose of the nezumi capturing them. Although at first he thought that these proto-nezumi were trying to turn them into their own kind, so far, the mutant nezumi who escorted them had no intention of harming them. These guys can't just take them back and keep them as pets.

This passage to the underground is much easier to walk than humans think. Considering that the giant nezumi were far taller than normal humans, the passages that had been built for them were spacious enough for the average human.

"Where are they taking us? Can't go on like this, can they?" Elsa asked Cheese in a whisper.

"Even if you ask me, I won't be able to answer your question, but I think it should be soon. If I'm right, we've walked nearly four or five meters down, and these nezumi can burrow, and they've only been around for less than two months, so they can't dig a dungeon, right?" replied the mage, but he didn't deliberately lower his voice like the proprietress did, because he knew that in such a small space, it didn't make sense to lower the nezumi hearing, on the contrary, Cheese just wanted the nezumi to hear him. Now that he knew his ignorance, the mage wanted to use this small temptation to make up for what he knew about the nezumi as much as possible.

Sure enough, hearing Cheese's words, the giant nezumi all glanced at the mage, and the gray-haired nezumi showed a disdainful smile, although this smile was very distorted on its face, but the trained mage could barely read this subtle facial expression. This also verifies another suspicion of the mage, these native nezumi, or at least these mutant nezumi, they may still understand human language.

In this way, many of the problems that plagued the mage before were solved, because they only regarded these proto-nezumi as brainless monsters before, so many of his conversations with Heather and others, including Cheese, did not deliberately avoid the two captured nezumi. These two nezumi must have heard something very important, so they deliberately left Cheese and the others alive, and they asked the mage for help! So, what do they need to do for them?

Still thinking about this question, Cheese only felt that the sight of him suddenly became empty, and the original curved passage wall disappeared, replaced by a giant rat nest in the faint light of the fire! Due to the weak light source in the cave, Cheese could only see a rough idea, and now they were on a platform, and around this platform, there were some holes leading to other different directions, those holes were large and small, and it seemed that most of the holes found before led to here. As for the front of the platform, there is a huge sinking pit, and how big is this pothole, Cheese guesses that it should be at least half the size of the northern city. It doesn't seem like much for the entire Vale City, but when you think about the time taken to build this giant rat den, the speed at which these nezumi dig is terrifying.

At the same time, another troubling question has been answered, everyone had wondered where the dirt dug out of the burrow was sent, but now that they felt the obviously tamped ground under their feet, and the huge pillars supporting the entire crypt in the distance, it was needless to ask that the excavated sand was just the material for the huge construction project of these primitive nezumi.

"It's just incredible. Of course, Cheese was not the only one who saw this scene, and whether it was the two Frost Guards or the proprietress couldn't help but sigh after seeing this underground miracle under their feet.

However, the nezumi did not bring the mage to visit, the leading gray-haired nezumi nodded slightly, and the giant nezumi who was dragging the cheese rope dragged the mage and the others on, and they walked from the slope next to the platform to the deep pit, as if they were going to enter the center of the underground rat nest, that is, the place where the mage had seen before, there was a faint fire.

As they gradually descended into the subsidence zone, even Cheese had to marvel at the architectural talents of these primitive nezumi, and although the way the cavern was excavated was savage, the use of materials and the grasp of structure were very accurate. On both sides of the group, the mage could still see the nezumi digging from time to time, and it seemed that the scale of this underground rat hole was still expanding. However, Cheese also observed that the ordinary nezumi engaged in digging showed a clear urge to eat blood when they saw humans, and the madness in their eyes made the mage feel more affectionate, which was the original nezumi he knew. However, he also observed that the ordinary nezumi who wanted to pounce on them were warned by the threatening cries of the gray-haired nezumi and the giant nezumi, and although they were extremely reluctant, they automatically avoided the path of the group.

"I don't think these mutated nezumi are in the same league as these normal nezumi. The voice of the "monkey" came from the darkness behind him.

The mage nodded, this time he agreed with Jack's point of view, although these mutant nezumi could control these ordinary native nezumi to a certain extent, it was also obvious that these ordinary nezumi themselves did not have the ability to think, they were only forced to follow the former's orders instinctively. Thinking of this, Cheese suddenly realized why these nezumi wanted to kidnap him. And he realized that perhaps many of the answers to the plague could be provided by these rat people far more than they could find on their own.
