Chapter 32: The Rat Tide
Alan and the others were in doubt, and more than a dozen figures rushed in the distance, and these people's strength was weaker than the previous ones, so the speed was also a little slower.
However, the expressions on the faces of these people were the same as those of the previous ones, as if something was chasing them from behind.
"What's going on up ahead?" Alan shouted at the men.
Most of the people were bent on running for their lives, ignoring Allen, only a man with a long sword on his back shouted as he ran: "Rat tide, it's a rat tide!"
Behind a few people, more and more figures began to appear, it seems that there are probably no less than a hundred people, and all of them are good, and the weakest ones are probably all the strength of fifth-level warriors!
Alan can imagine that there are probably more weaker people who have been left behind by them.
"Rat tide?" Alan repeated the two words, as the name suggests, it must be a horde of rat monsters. And judging from the fact that so many high-level warriors are running for their lives, these rat monsters are probably quite numerous, and their individual strength is not too weak.
"What should we do, let's hide first?" Allen said, the rat tide that can make the soldiers above level eight run and flee for their lives, Allen doesn't think that his people have the strength to shake it.
Although the dungeon ruins ahead are fascinating, life is the most important thing!
"Let's retreat to the cave first," Galen said, "The space in the cave is relatively narrow, and even if they are caught up by the rat tide, they will not be able to exert their numerical advantage, and it will be easier for us to defend." ”
Galen's proposal was approved by everyone, and several people did not hesitate to run towards the cave as fast as they could.
The high-level fighters are running for their lives, and Eren and they don't dare to slow down.
However, Allen's strength is relatively weak, everyone takes care of his speed, and he is not fast, and from time to time someone runs past them above them.
Faintly, Alan could already hear the screams of humans and the "squeak" sound similar to rats, Alan glanced back, and suddenly changed color.
On the horizon in the distance, a black wave was rapidly approaching, needless to say, this black wave was a rat tide composed of rat monsters! Judging from the scale of the rat tide, I am afraid there are no less than 100,000 of them!
It's no wonder that even high-level warriors are desperate to flee for their lives, even if these rat monsters are only level 1, so many of them are enough to make anyone scared!
From time to time, there are figures who are rushing to escape and are caught up by the waves, and they are swallowed by the waves in the blink of an eye, and the results can be imagined.
There are absolutely no bones left!
"The rat tide is advancing too fast, and at our current speed, I'm afraid we'll be caught up before we can escape back to the hole!" Alan said anxiously.
"I'll take you away!" Galen said, holding Eren on his shoulder, and the speed of several people suddenly increased. To Allen's surprise, Belle was holding Wangcai in her arms, and her speed was not slower than that of Galen and the others.
It seems that Belle is also a hidden master!
As for Lucius, he looked like an old god was there, surprisingly fast, and there was not the slightest expression of worry or fear on his face, as if the rat tide behind him did not exist.
"Arrived, the entrance to the cave is ahead!"
Finally, the hole in the ground appeared in front of him, and Alan and the others got into it, and finally they were not caught up by the rat tide behind them.
After the rat tide chased to the entrance of the underground cave, it did not stop, but swarmed into the underground cave. However, the entrance to the cave is narrow after all, and only a small part can be drilled into, and most of them are squeaking and running around outside the cave.
Some of them gave up entering the burrow and scattered around.
Alan and the rat tide entered the hole almost front and back, and Allen, who was resisted by Galen on his shoulder, could already see the appearance of these rat monsters when he turned around.
It was the giant claw demon rat whose corpse Alan and the others had seen in the cave before!
According to Lucius, the strength of the giant claw demon rat ranges from level three to four, which means that the rat tide outside is composed of more than 100,000 monsters of level three or four, no wonder the warriors above level eight can only run for their lives.
With such a terrifying rat tide, I am afraid that only the powerhouses above the twelfth level, known as the legendary level, can confront it head-on! The warriors of the eleventh and twelfth levels can barely protect themselves in the rat tide, it is good.
"Don't run along the main cave, the main cave is too wide, and you will be surrounded and killed sooner or later if you are chased by these demon rats," said Allen, who was resisted by Galen on his shoulder: "Drill into the hole next to it!"
Here is an explanation, the so-called split holes are the small holes in the wall of the main cave that Allen and the others found when they came in, and these small holes don't know where they lead, but they definitely won't be dungeons.
The hole on the wall of the main cave is only more than one meter wide and less than two meters high, and it can accommodate up to three or five giant claw demon rats to enter at the same time.
Even if there are more giant claw demon rats in the main cave, they can't threaten Alan and the others who enter the cave, as long as they can hold on until the rat tide retreats, they will be safe.
"Aren't you afraid to burrow into the lair of the Giant Claw Demon Mouse?" Lucius was still in the mood to joke with Alan at this time.
"Isn't it still your old age," Alan said, "What's more, even if it is the nest of the Giant Claw Demon Mouse, the number of Giant Claw Demon Rats inside will not be more than the rat tide outside!"
Several people ran forward quickly, and finally when they were about to be chased by the rat tide, they found a hole in front of them that they didn't know where to lead.
"Get in!"
Several men quickly drilled into the hole, Yasuo and Lux were at the back of the hole.
As soon as Alan and the others entered the cave, several giant claw demon rats followed behind them.
"Look at me!"
As she spoke, she waved her wand and the Confinement of Light struck out, imprisoning the Giant Claw Rats that were chasing after her. These giant claw demon rats only have the strength of three or four levels, and they will not be able to break free from the confinement of Lux's light for a while.
The demon rats in the back were blocked by the demon rats in front, so they naturally couldn't get in, so they continued to run along the main cave towards the front.
"It's safe at last, let me down, Galen. Alan said.
Galen nodded and put Eren down.
"It's dangerous," Alan let out a long sigh of relief, "I almost caught up." ”
"If it weren't for stupid Ellen, we'd have run away!" Belle laughed.
"Belle is the best, okay. ”
Alan smiled, now that he is temporarily safe, Allen's heart is no longer as nervous as before.
"My lord, what do we do now?" Galen asked, "Should we wait here for the rat tide to retreat, or should we go along this cave?"
"Let's go ahead and see," Allen said, "The rat tide doesn't know when it will retreat, maybe there's something good waiting for us ahead." ”
"With so many giant claw demon rats, if they break out of the ground, I'm afraid they will cause devastating damage to nearby cities and villages. Alan said worriedly as he walked forward.
"Don't worry," Lucius, who walked behind Allen, said, "According to my observation, the demon rats that have entered the cave are at most one-tenth of the entire rat tide, and most of them are still in the underground world. ”
"And it would be good if one tenth of the demon rats could eventually break out of the surface, and the major forces of Nice City were fully capable of dealing with it. ”
"And even if these demon rats all rush out of the surface, the Burning Sun Kingdom has a way to deal with it, and the Burning Sun Kingdom still has a few strong people. ”
Allen's eyes lit up: "What do you mean by the strong man you always say, legend?"
Lucius smiled and nodded.
"Is there really a legendary powerhouse in the kingdom?" asked Alan curiously.
"Alan, you are really unheard," Belle said disdainfully, "Belle has seen the legendary powerhouse with her own eyes." ”
"yes, you're in luck. Alan said enviously, he thought that Belle had occasionally encountered a legendary powerhouse.
"Squeak, squeak!"
Alan and the others chatted while walking, and after a while, the cry of the giant claw demon rat sounded behind him, and the giant claw demon rat that had been imprisoned by Lux before got rid of the confinement and chased after him.
Lux turned and threw a prison of light again, and the world fell silent again.
Some people may ask, after imprisoning these giant claw demon rats, why don't you kill them?
Because from the perspective of hindering the pursuit of the Giant Claw Demon Rat behind, the effect of imprisoning them is much higher than killing, because after killing, the Giant Claw Demon Rat behind can quickly fill up, which can be said to be inexhaustible.
"There's no way ahead!" shouted Galen, who was walking at the front, when he suddenly stopped.
Allen's heart was cold when he heard this, he wouldn't be so unlucky and walked into a dead end, right?
