038 Cannibal rats

Liang Xingyang asked the old woman where she lived now and who else was in the family, and the old woman burst into tears: "My family was originally from Guchangzhou, and my wife was killed by bricks while serving in forced labor to repair the copper furnace the year before last. The White Bone Army made a riot, and the three sons were dragged to defend the city, and all died on the city walls. The city was broken, and the White Bone Army came in and took away the three daughters-in-law and four little grandchildren.

I was originally used as a 'healthy women's camp', cooking for the soldiers, but I couldn't walk all the way from Guchang to here, let alone walk, I couldn't climb anymore, so I was left behind. I didn't have anything to eat, I ate wild vegetables and leaves in the forest for a few months, I couldn't stand it, there was a battle between two armies here a few days ago, there was no movement these days, and no one came to collect the corpse, so I came to pick up something to see if I could find something to eat. ”

Liang Xingyang looked at the old woman's black iron-like skin and bones, and then looked at the corpses covered all over the ground, he couldn't bear it, sighed, took off a porcelain bottle from his waist, and poured out two pills: "Grandma, you can eat this, you can temporarily satisfy your hunger." ”

His Bigu Dan is made of more than 100 years of yellow essence, poria cocos, ginseng, pine nuts, etc. in the mountains after repeated steaming, drying and frying, grinding into powder and then refining with white honey, fragrant, the old lady bent her back, stretched out two black and thin hands to hold the pill over, crying and nodding and bowing: "Thank you, little boy!" The little boy is a good person! The little boy lives a long life! ”

Liang Xingyang looked around, saw that the evil qi in the sky was gathering in the county seat, and said to the old woman: "Grandma, wait here for a while, I'll go into the city to have a look, and then send you to Yuping City in the north, you won't be hungry when you get there." ”

The old lady lost all her teeth, stuffed the pill into her mouth and said, "Little boy, go back quickly." ”

Where they were was at the north gate of the county, Liang Xingyang stepped on the wind and walked quickly into the county.

This city has also been sacked, all the valuable, edible all have been taken away, and the people have been taken away by the white bone thieves, in order to make those people run away and return to their hometowns, the thieves set fire to the city, and the city is full of ruins, and the city is full of black ashes!

He saw that the evil qi was gathering at the end of the long street, and he used the Xuanqiong Escape Method, half a foot off the ground, and stepped into the sight of the sight.

Under a large archway, there is a white hemp demon flag, with a long bamboo pole to pick, there are more than three zhang high, the banner is a white linen cloth larger than the quilt face, all kinds of strange symbols are drawn with blood on it, there is a skeleton standing on the top, the skeleton is also "alive", as if the banner is his body, constantly turning his head and opening his mouth, sucking the evil qi that flies from the battlefield into the mouth.

Liang Xingyang released the fairy sword, and the lightning flashed away, and the skeleton, together with the hemp banner below, was split in half vertically, leaving only a yellowed bamboo pole still poked in place.

The banner was destroyed, and the surrounding yin spirits did not gather here, and by this time the sun had set, and the sky had not yet disappeared, and the darkness had dispersed, and the sky seemed brighter again.

Liang Xingyang looked left and right again, and there was no sign of evil, so he turned around and came back, wanting to send the old woman back to Yuping City.

When they returned to the city gate, the old woman was gone, and many large rats appeared on the ground.

These rats, each the size of a pillow, not counting the tail, are about half a meter long, fat and big, fierce and ruthless, all with fierce eyes, dense, not to mention thousands, lying between the corpses and gnawing on flesh and blood!

Liang Xingyang's fists hardened in an instant, he searched carefully, and soon saw the tattered clothes worn by the old woman, and then saw the old woman's emaciated corpse, her head was broken, her hands and feet were gone, and there was only one torso left, four or five rats were surrounding and gnawing, and one was burrowing into it to gnaw on her internal organs.

Liang Xingyang angrily wanted to scold the street, but he wouldn't, only the word "beast" had to blurt out, and choked in his throat, these rats were originally beasts, not even beasts!

With a wave of his hand, the fairy sword was cut out like an iron plow, and a trench more than a meter deep was plowed in it, and all the mice were chopped up wherever he passed.

In fact, he didn't need to make a move, those rats not only ate dead corpses, but also liked to eat living things, he was a ten-year-old child standing here, in the sight and smell of the rats, it was fragrant and tender, and he had already been deceived from the front and back and left and right.

Liang Xingyang first hacked to death the rat that was eating the corpse of the old woman, and then with a backhand stroke, the sword light drew a large long arc in front of him, cutting the more than thirty approaching in front of him in half.

His Pure Yang Immortal Sword is already extremely sharp, and after fusing the Xuantian Qingyang Sword, it is a hundred times stronger than the original, looking at these rats, it is easier than chopping melons and vegetables, what his sword technique refers to, the sword light is shining, front and back, left and right, full of jumping electric light, those mice are shattered one after another, and the corpses are scattered everywhere with blood.

In just a few minutes, at least a few thousand rats were killed, and the rest were finally frightened, realizing that this fragrant and tender little creature was not food, but a more terrifying existence than the one-horned blow worm in the mountain, so they turned around and fled.

Liang Xingyang was angry, and instinctively volleyed in the air, chasing and killing these rats.

Although he was angry, he was not dazed, and if these rats were scattered and burrowed into the caves in the mountains and woods, he would not be able to kill them all, only the slower ones.

But he soon found that the rats did not scatter, but gathered together in an organized group, jumping and daring in a south-west direction.

Liang Xingyang realized that these rats must have an old nest, and there is a high probability that there is a rat king rat queen, so it would be better to follow them to find the nest and find a way to end them in the nest and exterminate them all, so as not to harm people again!

He put away the fairy sword, and only used the method of retreat, stepping two or three feet above the ground, and followed the rats condescendingly to see where they would run.

He had thought that the rats would run into the mountains, and the rats would run to an open field, not a rat hole, but a human camp.

To be exact, a military camp, a camp where the bone thieves are stationed!

The white bone army that I saw outside Yuping City at the beginning had a uniform white linen cloak, black leather armor, and a neat military appearance. Now this one is very shabby, there are more than 3,000 people in total, only four or five hundred have armor on the side, half of them are young and strong, and the rest are old men, women, and children, who are responsible for making fires and cooking.

At this time, night fell, the fire had been lit, and the hot water boiling in the pot stove was steaming.

In this area where the cooking is made, there are many large iron cages, and there are many large rats in the cages, which are exactly the same color and appearance as those who have eaten people.

Some of the cages were empty, and in front of them sat two bone mages, holding bone staff with skulls, discussing with each other: "Why did the rats run back when they didn't have enough to eat?" ”
