Chapter 181: Complete Rat-Eradication
Rushing out of the rhizomes of the flowers on the other side was a chilly air that penetrated the heart.
This cold air rushed into Yin Yan's nostrils, causing Yin Yan's spirit to be shocked, as if a person who had been suffocated for a long time suddenly smelled the rich air and was full of Tai.
The most important thing is that when this cold air rushed into her nostrils, Yin Yan, who was originally hungry, suddenly felt that she was not hungry anymore, not hungry at all. Could it be that this strange cold could have been used as food?
Surprised.
And Yin Yan suddenly felt a lightness in her hand, and felt that the weight of the huge rhizome seemed to be reduced by half. In other words, the cold just now actually took up nearly half of the weight of the rhizome? So, how much is this cold air?
Continuing to dissect the thing, he found that the inside of the rhizome resembled a shriveled orange. It's edible, but it doesn't taste like chewing wax, so it's okay to barely use it to satisfy hunger.
Yin Yan concluded that the essence of this thing should be in that cold air, and the rest could only be used as ordinary dry food.
Without further hesitation, she dug up two more of these strange rhizomes, and at the same time filled the stream with the shell of the one that had been cut. These streams, to say the least, were enough for her and Qin Yang to drink until dark.
Carrying a sword, he pulled up the three rhizomes with simple vines woven from the branches of the other side, as if three gourds were pulled on a vine. After returning to the sloping high platform, Qin Yang improvised to cut open one and sucked at the small hole of the rhizome.
As a result, he inhaled less than half of the cold air, and he felt full. Obviously, this thing is enough for two people to "eat", but for the first time, Yin Yan didn't pay attention and wasted a lot. If you add the dried orange-like inner pulp inside to satisfy your hunger, then these things can support the two of them until tomorrow daytime.
And it wasn't until a few hours later that the two of them discovered that this strange cold not only satisfied their hunger, but might even have a thirst-quenching effect. I usually have to drink water for half a day, but I don't feel thirsty for a long time after inhaling this thing.
"Fortunately, this is," Qin Yang sighed, "This kind of flower grows here so much, but it completely solves our food problem." However, if you swallow this thing for a long time, I don't know if there will be any side effects. ”
Yin Yan shrugged her shoulders: "Who knows." Maybe it's going to get bigger and bigger like these big rats?"
Qin Yang suddenly felt a chill: "Will we both grow into giants when we turn around?"
Yin Yan shook her head: What do you want to do? In this kind of desperate death place, it is impossible to get out, no matter what giants are not giants.
At this time, she was no longer hungry, so Yin Yan went out again, and after most of the day's efforts, she killed a large number of giant rats outside. She now roughly calculated that the number of rats living here should be in the more than a hundred, less than a hundred and fifty. And after several bloody battles, and Yin Yan's purposeful extermination, there should be only seventy or eighty rats left here. The rest of them hid in the rat hole one by one and didn't dare to come out.
In this regard, the sense of crisis between the two has been slightly eliminated. And another important reason for killing giant rats is to prevent the giant rats from consuming more food, that is, the rhizomes of the flowers on the other side. These big rats are too edible, and after killing all the rats, Yin Yan and Qin Yang's food will become more and more abundant. After all, who knows how long they're going to survive here?
This also shows that after getting rid of the imminent existential crisis, the two have to face up to the reality - be prepared to survive here for a long time, and of course start to think about how to get out. It's just that there really aren't any good ideas for the time being. Moreover, those giant rats still exist in large numbers after all, and they must be completely eliminated before they can be truly stable.
When it was evening, the sun might have set again, and the light in this abyss had dimmed a little. And at this time, Qin Yang and Yin Yan were worried about a problem - the soul power disappeared again.
In other words, it is about the time when the sun appears during the day that a little bit of soul power can be restored, and at night, the soul power will be gone.
In this way, the two of them will have to face the threat of the horde of rats again at night. But unexpectedly, perhaps Yin Yan's killing during the day frightened the remaining rats, and it greatly shocked this group of beasts. On top of that, there is now a large number of rat carcasses outside, so there is enough meat left for the rats to eat.
In the dim light, those fat rats were in groups of three or five, devouring the corpses of their kind, and they looked really disgusting. Moreover, it makes this place extremely dirty and bloody.
As for Qin Yang and Yin Yan, they were vigilant, and the two took turns to be on duty at night. Time passed so slowly, and Qin Yang had been nervously waiting for the arrival of the day. If, if they continue to generate soul power during the day the next day, then this will become a fixed rule, and the two of them will have a stronger ability to protect themselves.
By dawn, the rats were just gnawing at the carcasses of other rats. But at this moment, it seemed that when Qin Yang was a little lax, a gray figure suddenly jumped onto the high platform and rushed straight to Qin Yang!
These miscellaneous pieces are still not giving up. Or in their eyes, the taste of human flesh and blood is better than that of rat meat after all, after all, they had just tasted the flesh and blood of the Kaiyang Sword Saint yesterday.
Qin Yang was a little caught off guard, and the long sword in his hand hurriedly blocked. As a result, Yin Yan, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly swung out a palm and struck the mouse away, it was it that shifted its position and did not bite Qin Yang.
Bang!
The rat fell on the other side of the wall, but it didn't die. At this time, it screamed, and seemed to find that Yin Yan and Qin Yang were no longer as ruthless as they were during the day, and had become much weaker.
Suddenly, the remaining dozens of big rats received the greeting of this companion, and rushed over in a swarm, surrounding Qin Yang and Yin Yan again.
What a shrewd and slippery bunch of brutes.
As a result, Qin Yang and Yin Yan returned to the tense situation of yesterday again. The only thing that was slightly better than yesterday was that Qin Yang's legs had recovered a lot under the strong recovery of the Thunder Tribulation Body. Moreover, the two also have experience in dealing with these rats.
With the hard support, more than a dozen rats were killed again. However, the remaining rats were still fierce, surrounded by fierce eyes and refused to leave.
Gradually, time passed. When the light here became brighter again, Qin Yang and Yin Yan suddenly felt the breeding of soul power, and they had soul power in their bodies again!
"Death for me!" Yin Yan was furious, and rushed directly into the crowd of rats, once again bursting out with the terrifying power of yesterday's day. Many mice did not react at first, and she killed many of them one after another. Eventually, the rats noticed that the female demon had suddenly become powerful again, and immediately screamed and ran out.
But this time, Yin Yan will not relax anymore. I didn't do anything else for the whole day, and all my energy was spent on killing rats. Except for the time to replenish food, the rest of the time is killing!
When the time returned to the dark night, Yin Yan rinsed her blood by the stream and let out a long sigh. All the rats were killed, not even those who hid in the big holes.
However, it has also become quieter, and there is no more sound. So much so that Yin Yan suddenly regretted a little, maybe she should have left one or two living creatures. Otherwise, in this kind of absolute death domain, there is no anger at all, and the future of her and Qin Yang will not be too monotonous.
