Chapter 27: Maps
Ling Mo didn't go far, but found a place with a relatively wide field of vision to hide, he was actually still very interested in the thing in the young man's hand that caused the rat swarm riot.
The result was almost as expected, the group was overwhelmed by the rats in less than half a pillar of incense, and the valley in the storm did not withstand the huge waves.
In the later battle, a group of people also went crazy, knowing that they couldn't escape, but they had no scruples! The biggest highlight was actually that the young man in the team who was injured by Ling Mo later sacrificed a delicate pendant, which was such a small thing that was more like an ornament As soon as it was sacrificed, it emitted a monstrous power, and in an instant, it shattered a large piece of gold-devouring rats, including many purple gold rats.
I believe that if the pendant hadn't broken after a single blow, the young people would have been able to protect this group of people from this crisis, but unfortunately, it was only a one-time consumable!
Obviously, the pendant had already swept away an area for these people, and it was not impossible to seize the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, and the young people at that time also had this idea.
Who knows, just when the young man and his subordinates were trying to break through, the purple gold rat, which had always been bigger than a cat, suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, it bit the throats of the two Xuanjing Realm guards!
When this purple gold rat appeared, it was obvious that the rat group was collectively excited, chirping in unison, as if cheering for its appearance, and the group of people did not dare to take advantage of this opportunity to get out!
Ling Mo's heart was awe-inspiring, it seemed that this guy could be called the Purple Gold Rat King!
The Purple Gold Rat King let out a piercing chirp, and the rats became even more excited, regardless of life and death, to launch a final attack on this group of people.
From the moment the Purple Gold Rat King made a move, Ling Mo knew that everything was a foregone conclusion, just by looking at the fact that it killed two Tongxuan Realm guards in an instant, it could be seen that its combat power was the weakest, and it could also be compared to a real Heavenly Machine Realm cultivator!
But in the core area of this vast Cave Continent, not to mention the Heavenly Machine Realm, there is no mortal realm, and they are all a group of young people who have passed through the Xuan Realm. When you meet this Purple Gold Rat King in the Xuan Realm, if you don't have a backhand, you will be able to deliver food.
There was nothing left to say about the rest, it was a total bloody feast, and a dozen people didn't last long before they were torn apart by the crazy rat swarm.
After killing these people, these gold devouring rats rarely stopped moving, and then gave up the food in their mouths and retreated.
Ling Mo looked at the Purple Gold Rat King, and sure enough, the Purple Gold Rat King walked into the corpse from the path that the Gold Devouring Rats could give way in front of him, and walked directly to the young man's corpse.
Easily, the Purple Gold Rat King found something the size of a child's fist in the hands of the young man, and with his excellent eyesight, Ling Mo immediately saw the true face of that thing, it turned out to be an egg, a moment of white egg!
The rat swarm is actually attacking these people for this egg, what is the origin of this egg!?
Holding the egg carefully in his mouth, the Purple Gold Rat King suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance vigilantly, and that was where Ling Mo was hiding!
Ling Mo didn't expect that the Purple Gold Rat King could still feel himself from such a distance, but instead of choosing to run away, he simply closed his eyes and stopped looking at the Rat King, completely dormant, like a dead thing!
The Purple Gold Rat King looked in the direction where Ling Mo was hiding for a while, but in the end, he didn't find anything, as if the feeling of being watched just now was just an illusion.
The Purple Gold Rat King's attention quickly returned to the egg in his mouth, and now it is the most precious!
The Purple Gold Rat King was the first to leave, and then a large group of Gold Devouring Rats followed, this time they didn't care about anything when they passed by the corpses of those people, and enjoyed the flesh and blood feast.
Ling Mo watched the Golden Rat swarm disappear into the depths of the plain, and it was a long time before he left the hiding place and came to the battlefield just now.
At this time, the place was in shambles, blood was everywhere, and many gold-eating rats ate the leftover scraps, and they even ate their dead kind!
Compared to the unrecognizable body of the gold-eating rat, those people are not much better. There was no flesh and blood left in his body, and the skeleton was unreservedly displayed in front of Ling Mo's eyes, and the hideous bite marks on the bones seemed to tell what happened to them!
Ling Mo frowned, his previous experience had made him accustomed to death, and he had learned to accept death, but he still didn't like death, especially compared to the same race, it would always be a little uncomfortable to see his kind of person like this.
Looking here and about to leave, Ling Mo was suddenly attracted by something, it was a jade pendant!
The carving and material of the jade pendant looked average, but because it was stained with blood and lying between the bones, it looked a little demonic.
Ling Mo picked up the jade pendant and just wiped the blood stains on it suddenly paused, and then carefully poked out the divine thought and attached the jade pendant, without hindrance, the divine thought smoothly entered the jade pendant, and a simple map appeared in Ling Mo's mind.
Ling Mo guessed right, Ling Mo instinctively felt something unusual when the jade pendant was in his hand, this jade pendant was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, sure enough, there was something else implied in it!
Ling Mo carefully looked at the simple picture in his mind, and after just looking at it, he froze, and in the middle of the picture was actually marked with the Soul Returning Tree!
Who would have thought that a piece of inferior jade pendant, a simple picture, would be a map of the Cave Continent!
Ling Mo compared his earlier impressions of the Cave Continent with the rumors he had heard, and finally confirmed that this was the map of the Cave Continent, and it was a map that included the core area, and most importantly, he also pointed out the true location of the Soul Returning Tree!
Ling Mo frowned habitually, the Cave Continent had always been mysterious and dangerous, and he had never heard of the existence of a map of the Cave Continent at the time, let alone the Soul Returning Tree.
This map is really rudimentary, and it can even be summed up in a swagger, many places have only been brought with a few strokes, such as the location of the White Bone Temple that Ling Mo has seen before looks even more ordinary.
Compared to the vague peripheral areas, the core areas are obviously much more carefully labeled. In other words, it's a map of the core area.
This map gave Ling Mo a feeling that this map was just to guide the existence of the Soul Returning Tree!
Ling Mo suddenly remembered that he had a desire to win the Soul Tree when he listened to Bian Lingxi and Gu Duzhong talking before, and this time there were many forces that were actually coming to the core area, could it be that these people all had this map, this was their hole card!?
Maybe this is really the case, Ling Mo can easily judge that the jade pendant that carries the map has not been made for a long time, that is to say, the map has also been branded recently, maybe such a thing, those big forces have actually had one of them a long time ago!
Lost the jade pendant casually, the map had already been memorized by Ling Mo, and the jade pendant naturally lost his value.
According to the instructions on the map, Ling Mo actually deviated a little from the direction, not going to the real center of the core area.
Even though he had already followed the instructions on the map, Ling Mo still doubted the existence of the map.
Who has such a great ability to draw a map of the core area of the Cave Continent, and why would they let this thing that is enough to shake the entire immortal world spread? Could it be that these forces believe in the authenticity of this map so much?
Ling Mo could only guess all this, because he was just an "outsider" who accidentally came into contact with this matter. He had a feeling that there was a lot of undercurrent behind this matter, and he happened to be standing on the edge of these!
Ling Mo's plan is still the same, now that he has come to the core area and now has a map, he has to go to the most mysterious place anyway. There may be a Soul Tree there, and maybe Ling Mo's doubts will also be revealed there, who knows.
Ling Mo looked ahead, stretched out his hat to block the sunlight that was not dazzling, shook his head, and gently walked on the road.
