Chapter 17: The Brutal Rats
!
How come there are still explorers here?
Jiang Xun scolded secretly, and his face gradually became ugly.
Obvious.
Under the instructions of the Authority, a large group was formed to "encompass" the explorers of Heihe, and the companies were not as honest as he thought.
Calculate the time.
It's only been a little over two hours since he officially left the team.
There are explorers who appear in the inland, and you don't have to think about it to know that it is the explorer companies that form a large group of people who have divided their manpower to take advantage of all the benefits of this untouched inland.
Made!
I'm still too naïve after all!
Without thinking much about it, Jiang Xun went to the ground and took out his mobile phone to upload all the information he had obtained so far to the Explorer APP.
There will be no shortage of personnel assigned by each explorer company.
The proximity to the valley is just one of them.
They should all have just set off.
The immediate pressure news is not possible.
This mouthful of meat at his mouth cannot be taken away by others.
Information uploading.
A green mark appears on the Explorer APP.
This is a sign that what he is uploading is first-hand information.
Very good.
The points are stable.
Stuffing the phone directly into the storage bag, so as not to damage it in the future, Jiang Xun looked around with a telescope.
There is nothing to see at the entrance to the valley.
The incoming team of explorers is bound to come in.
After all, the terrain is good at first glance.
The problem is that these explorers are a little too bold!
Areas that have never been explored before, advancing in the silent mode of all-terrain armored vehicles without sacrificing speed, and throttle banging like something, I just don't know how to write dead words!
Maybe they're strong.
But what will happen in the secret realm, who can predict?
Sure enough.
The roar of the engines of the all-terrain armored vehicles alarmed the ratmen scattered and settled on the outskirts of the valley.
Within the observation range of the telescope, there are rat people on the summit of almost every stone pillar with a shack, descending to the ground in an extremely vigorous posture.
Then.
Most of the rat people dug into the surface on the spot and burrowed into it.
Seven or eight others went straight to the waterhole in the heart of the valley in different directions.
It's obvious.
The group that escaped to the ground took the lead to "defend against foreign enemies", and the other group went to ventilate and report the news.
This is organized and disciplined.
I didn't say anything.
Regardless of the rat people who escaped on the ground, the rat people who went to ventilate and report did not have the slightest intention of grouping together, and there was no possibility of intercepting them in their own way.
Seeing all these things, Jiang Xun's expression was cloudy.
Upon arrival, this group of explorers is bound to fall into blood luck next.
Maybe it will be wiped out in a minute.
There were twenty or thirty of them in search of them.
When they were attacked from underground, they didn't necessarily have a timely response.
Twenty or thirty rat people swarmed up, and it was unlikely that they would want to get out immediately.
They are looking for their own death, and they are no wonder of others.
But this wave has to say that it has pitted him a little!
What to do?
Just retreat?
It's a bit late to say it's going to go.
There are more than a few rat people living in the valley.
According to his prior observations.
There are more than 100 sheds around the waterhole alone.
Even if there is one per household, it must be more than 100.
When the nezumi arrives, they may also move.
The nezumi will be on the verge and will have difficulty pinpointing their exact location.
Once discovered, he might even be able to block the gun for the explorer who doesn't know how to write the dead word!
After repeated powers, Jiang Xun decided to hold on to his troops for the time being and observe them for the time being.
The roar of all-terrain armored vehicles outside the valley quickly moved from far to near, and finally fell silent at the point where it entered the valley.
Meanwhile.
The rats who went to report the location of the waterhole also arrived.
Not paying attention to the movement in the direction of the valley, Jiang Xun focused on observing the direction of the waterhole, and then found that the rats who reported the news did not climb the stone pillar but jumped into the waterhole one after another.
Well?
What's going on?
Why did you jump into the pool!?
Just as he was stunned, a strong aura fluctuation erupted in the direction of the valley in the rear, and then immediately fell silent.
???
Jiang Xun looked back blankly.
The battle is not surprising.
But this ended too quickly......
The nezumi have been wiped out!?
Unlikely.
Not to mention that they had the upper hand to sneak attack from underground, how could the combat effectiveness of the attack team composed of twenty or thirty ratmen be so bad?
So.
It could only be the Explorer Team GG.
Annihilation in an instant!?
Jiang Xun gasped.
He felt.
It is necessary to re-examine the nezumi yourself.
The explorer team that dares to be so flamboyant in the secret realm is certainly inflated, but the capital is definitely there.
Being knocked out in the blink of an eye only illustrates one thing, the nezumi team is so capable of fighting that the explorer team is powerless to resist during a sneak attack.
This.
It's a bit outrageous.
It is not bad that the intelligent races of their own civilization are extremely dangerous.
But under the premise of realm equality, it will not be so fierce.
To be honest, Jiang Xun couldn't imagine how the "team battle" of the rat man fought.
Shocked by this, he suddenly felt something, and turned his head to look in the direction of the waterhole.
At the same time.
The waterhole was surging, and a fat rat-man like a mountain of meat slowly crawled out of the water with a thick gray air.
Jiang Xun's pupils shrank at that time.
Corpse gas is released.
Three realms!?
Picking up the binoculars, he took a closer look.
Just then.
A few rat men who had gone down to the waterhole to report the news had climbed up the river bank and humbly crouched behind the rat men of the Three Realms.
The two sides suddenly formed a strong contrast.
The physique of the Three Realms Rat Man is almost three times that of the ordinary Rat Man!
And that's not all.
Jiang Xun was stunned to find that the Three Realms Rat Man had a golden crown on his head.
And the moment he saw the crown, he had a realization in his heart.
The core of the secret realm.
This one.
I can't go wrong.
The core of the secret realm generally has the characteristic that it can be confirmed immediately as long as you see it with your own eyes.
Jiang Xun was a good guy at that time.
He didn't care about the secret realm boss at all.
Who would have thought that it would just be seen for him!?
It's not enough to see it.
The secret realm core worn by the Rat King is clearly a rare artifact-type core!
The core of the secret realm is a unique treasure, which generally exists in three forms.
Utensils, materials, and elixirs.
Among them, the most valuable is undoubtedly the core of the utensil.
Artifact-type cores usually have unbelievable unique powers, and can be used as long as they are obtained, without the need for sacrifices.
The core value of the material type is secondary, and the utensils made as the main material must produce an unusual power.
The elixir type is relatively modest, and it is difficult to develop its value mainly.
Elixir is nothing more than medicine or alchemy.
However, the pharmacist needs a prescription to enter the medicine, and the Danshi needs a prescription for alchemy.
And there is usually only one secret core.
Just one elixir means only one chance to try.
Unless you have full self-confidence, a rash move is likely to destroy the elixir-type core.
Looking at the Rat King from afar, Jiang Xun's demon heart was violently restless.
By all indications.
There is another world under the waterhole.
And the Rat King lives alone.
This wave of operation space is too big to make him unimpressed.
Report?
It's better to eat it alone!
Looking up at the relatively bright gray sky near noon, Jiang Xun silently suppressed the demon heart.
You'll have to find another opportunity.
At this moment, the rat-man settlement has just been stimulated, and the vigilance is extremely high.
This valley is inhabited by the Rat King, and it is undoubtedly a forbidden area for other secret creatures.
Don't worry about messy things coming in at night.
Wait until night falls.
Just as he was thinking, a dozen or so rat men suddenly broke through the ground near the location where the rat king was standing, dragging a human with their hands.
!
Jiang Xun.
Subconsciously looked back at the direction of the valley, and he squinted slightly.
The humans brought back by the rats are apparently explorers who have been attacked by a sneak attack.
Save?
Jiang Xun is not so stupid, nor is he so virgin.
Not to mention that these unlucky people who don't know whether they are dead or alive are not necessarily dead or have a breath now, this will be a pure gift for him to jump out.
What he cared about at the moment was.
The speed at which the nezumi who went to meet them came back was a bit exaggerated.
It was still outside the valley a moment ago.
It's back in a blink of an eye......
Next to the waterhole.
The rats who brought back the human explorers sent their "loot" to the rat king like a treasure, and then lay on their stomachs.
The Rat King's scarlet eyes fell, examining his subordinates' tributes, and raised his hand twice.
As if they had received some kind of instruction, the four nezumi present lifted only three women out of the dozen explorers and dived into the waterhole with the Rat King.
“……”
Jiang Xun.
The plot ......
Goo, kill!?
Didn't wait for him to react.
The dozen or so nezumi who remained in place suddenly moved, swarming up and tearing apart the male explorers who were left behind.
Probably attracted by the smell of blood.
One by one, the rat people who inhabited the waterhole showed up and descended with ghostly speed, rushing in droves to the location where the male explorers had been torn apart.
Only Jiang Xun was stunned.
The waterhole was buried near the shore by a colony of rats.
Mu Ran put down the binoculars, and Jiang Xun looked solemn.
This time he was completely sure.
Nezumi are known for their speed.
The nezumi in this colony are at least two hundred miles away.
