Chapter 493: The Lair

If a group wants to survive, the first thing is food.

But where is the food in this underground space?

Since I came in, I haven't seen anything alive except for these rats, and there are not even fish in the river.

There are more than 20 skulls hanging on the rock wall, but these 20 or so skulls are a drop in the bucket compared to the huge population of rats.

Unless, the people who died down here, not just the twenty-odd.

With doubts, we chased the rat down the river.

After walking for a while, we all entered the river, and on both sides of the river, there was no road.

The only good news is that the river is not very deep, and the deepest place is only a little more than 150 meters.

The shallowest place, no more than a meter.

The height of the roof of the cave also decreases little by little, and at the lowest point, we need to sink our head into the water, only exposing one nose, so as not to touch our head.

After this narrow distance, the roof of the cave gradually rises, but the width of the river becomes shallow.

None of that is the key, the point is, we caught up with those three mice.

Halfway through the chase, the three rats had another infighting, and one of them, after biting the other two to death and gnawing off the heads of the two mice, the rat continued on its way.

I noticed that these three rats were twice as big as the ones I had killed before.

"The one who survived is enlightened!"

After following for more than 20 meters, Situ Qing suddenly spoke.

Her voice was soft, making sure that anyone in front of and behind her could hear her, and that it wouldn't spread far away.

"I feel like the rat is sneaking us away!" Liu Ling Boy came to say at this time.

"Sneak us away?" I was immediately interested, and if so, doesn't that mean there is a trap ahead?

"It did slip away with us!" Situ Qing said lightly.

After a pause, she explained: "The medicine I sprinkled before was specially prepared for the tomb, just to deal with these things!" ”

"In the tomb, the small ones are easy to say, and the larger ones always have these things, or corpse cockroaches, or rats, or spiders, many of which are prepared by the tomb owner to prevent someone from robbing the tomb!"

"Under normal circumstances, if they are stained with my medicine, these yin insects will attack each other crazily, and they will never die!"

"Being able to escape in time and devour the same kind of supplement is definitely enlightened!"

Situ Qing said this and glanced at the mouse in front of him.

The rat seemed to be aware of it, and it was moving faster up the river.

I silently estimated that the mouse had swam along the river for almost two hundred meters since we had chased it over.

Since it is enlightened, then this rat will either lead us to its nest or ask for help.

From the current point of view, it is more likely to lead to the nest.

With the appearance and situation of these rats, it is basically impossible for them to find a helper.

Since it's not a helper, it's a lair.

If it's a nest, this rat's nest is much farther away than I thought.

The monkey had just killed the rat, and within a minute the rat appeared.

This suggests that these rats may have been ambushed in the vicinity for a long time.

From the moment we entered here, these rats had their eyes on us.

I thought as I looked around.

The surroundings were similar to the ones we had when we first went down the river.

The only difference is that there are no human heads on the rock walls on both sides.

Although I don't have a head, I don't know why, but I can always smell a faint smell of blood.

This smell is not the fishy smell of rats, but the smell of pure blood.

"That rat is coming ashore!"

Just thinking about it, Chu Siyu touched me lightly.

I looked up and forgot to glance at the rat, and the rat did crawl up the shore again.

At this time, after passing through the narrow passage ahead, the situation on the river surface changed again.

The first is the height of the roof of the cave, which has been restored to about four meters.

Secondly, the width of the river narrows, and on the eye, it is less than two meters.

Eventually, the two sides of the river had a road again.

For example, in the section where the rats came ashore, in addition to the road, there was a new fork in the road.

Visually, the fork in the road, although narrow, can barely pass through a person.

After the rats went ashore, Situ Qing took the lead, and we went ashore in turn and followed.

After going up, the smell of blood became even stronger.

I don't know if it's an illusion, this smell of blood smells very strange, with a special fragrance in it.

"Xiaoyu, do you smell blood?"

I slowed down a little and turned my head sideways to ask Chu Siyu behind me.

"Smelled!" Chu Siyu nodded.

"I smell it too!"

It's okay if I don't ask, this question, Ba Hongyu also agreed.

"Brother-in-law, I smell it too!" Liu Ling Boy also followed.

Situ Qing was even more stunned and said: "This smell doesn't seem to be the smell of human blood, but I can't say what it is!" ”

"It doesn't matter what it is, let's find that rat's nest first!" Mr. Mover ends the topic with a word.
