Chapter 171: Earth Mouse

I was so shocked that my hairy eyes stood up, and Xiaoya was similar to me, her face was miserable and white.

We both had weak legs and almost fell off the mountain beam.

Oh my God, rats can be so big, and they are still like that, with green faces and fangs, they are simply a bunch of small hungry wolves.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a creaking sound and a grinding sound below.

Hu Erye frowned: "It's broken, they're snorting with their teeth!"

"Slurping with your teeth?"

I didn't understand it at the time, so I lay down on the mountain beam and looked down, and the ground mice were actually climbing the mountain with two big tusks, and they first used their teeth to make holes in the mountain, and then they used their claws to climb the holes.

Hu Erye said that these earth rats are afraid that they are extremely hungry, and we will not stop if they don't eat, so they beckoned us to hurry up.

I look at the speed at which those guys climb, and I guess it won't take more than half an hour to climb up.

didn't dare to hesitate, and followed Hu Erye to continue to climb up the ridge of Elephant Trunk Mountain.

Although he temporarily avoided the pursuit of the earth mouse, Hu Erye told us that the next thing is auspicious or fierce, only depends on God's will, in the upstream, he has not come, and he doesn't know what he will encounter.

In short, our plan to return the same way is about to fail.

Hu Erye found a few thicker branches on the mountain beam, tied them together with wires, and wrapped some things at the top, I don't know what they were, so he took out the flint he carried with him and hit it a few times.

Immediately, we had an improvised torch.

To be honest, fortunately we found him as a guide, otherwise, Xiaoya and I wouldn't know how to make lighting things.

With the torches, our hearts are much more steady.

Hu Erye told us that this was all told to him by his years of hunting experience.

Food, drink, and torches are absolutely indispensable.

We cautiously climbed up for a while, the front section was a bit dangerous, the narrow place, the width was less than half a meter, this half a meter distance, if it was on flat ground, it would not feel good.

But on the mountain beam, which is dozens of meters high, it feels so insurmountable.

With every step we take, we will step on the gravel under our feet and go down the mountain, and the sound of rattling is so terrifying in the night sky.

When I finally crawled over, I found myself drenched in sweat.

Hu Erye has been taking care of us in front, and after taking me and Xiaoya over, he stacked a bunch of broken stones there, saying that if the earth rat chases fast, these broken stones can tell us.

In fact, he wanted to say that these pieces of rubble could be used as an alarm, but he didn't use the word alarm.

After another half an hour of climbing, Xiaoya and I were exhausted, and at this time, we had only climbed halfway up the mountain beam.

I found that the higher up the mountain beam, the steeper the angle became, and in some places, it was almost at right angles to the horizon.

If it weren't for the width enough, I wouldn't have gone up to anything.

Hu Erye saw that we were really tired, so he promised to rest first, but he also said that he could only take a rest, otherwise after a long time, people would not be able to stand up.

The two of us were relieved and regretted coming on this treasure hunt.

I can't imagine that the real expedition is not at all the same as the expedition process abroad.

I felt that I didn't rest for long, and I was pulled up by Hu Erye, and he said that if I rested any longer, my legs would hurt terribly.

I knew that he was experienced and never joked, so I pulled Xiaoya to stand up with him, ready to continue to climb up.

Xiaoya asked him, how long will he climb?

Hu Erye said that he had to find a place to defend himself, but here, absolutely not.

Xiao Ya felt that he was a little too nervous, and just wanted to say something, he heard a sound of gravel rolling down from below us, Hu Erye said that the earth mouse was catching up, Xiao Ya immediately came to the spirit, and the first one rushed up and went up.

You can see that she is very afraid of those dirt rats.

Hu Erye persuaded her to the back, and still helped us open the way in the front.

We gritted our teeth and followed behind, as soon as Xiaoya was nervous, she began to talk a lot, Hu Erye warned her many times, but she just wanted to talk uncontrollably.

I felt that if it continued like this, there would be danger, so I let Xiaoya be in the middle and I would be behind her, so that there would be people in front of and behind her, and she would not be so nervous.

Sure enough, Xiaoya didn't take long before she was quiet.

After climbing for a while, Hu Erye found a platform that was not big or small, and it seemed that it was still artificially chiseled, and he was overjoyed.

But at the same time, he also heard something strange behind him.

This kind of sound, we can't hear it, and we don't have this feeling if we are not old hunters for many years.

Hu Erye knew that it was those earth rats who caught up, so he let me and Xiaoya go first, and he stayed here for a while!

I feel like it's too dangerous to leave him here alone.

But Second Master Hu said that he was easy to get out by himself, and if he took the two of us, there would be trouble.

It's right for us to think about it, Hu Erye hurriedly took out a simple torch from his back, lit it and handed it to me, let us hurry up.

Xiaoya and I didn't dare to hesitate and immediately began to climb up.

Because of their physical advantages, those earth rats climb up much faster than us.

The small platform occupied by Hu Erye had a considerable advantage in the field, and we didn't go far before we heard the sound of a fight below.

I think those earth rats have already attacked.

Xiaoya climbed up desperately, I saw that she was a little too anxious, worried that something would happen to her, so I reminded her in the back, who knew that at this time, she suddenly screamed, her body seemed to be out of control, and she fell back at once.

I never expected her to suddenly let go, and the whole person was immediately pressed by her, and with a tilt, she slid out along the edge of the mountain beam.

I instinctively screamed, and the torch took off my hand, and then I felt my back fall heavily on something, and my eyes went black, and I fainted.

Later, I don't know how long it took, but when I woke up, I found that I wasn't dead, but my internal organs seemed to have been cracked, and the pain was terrible.

When I sat up, I found that it was pitch black, I couldn't see anything, and my head was confused.

I gently shouted the names of Xiaoya and Hu Erye a few times, but no one answered at all.

I was stupid at the time, and I forgot what I was afraid of, and I sat alone and stupidly for a long time.

When my mind cleared, I remembered what had just happened.

At this time, I can't hear the sound of Hu Erye's fight, and I don't know where I am and where Xiaoya is?

So, I began to grope around, and I remembered that before every move, Hu Erye always put his ears close to the ground, and then confirmed that there was no sound around him before continuing to do things.

I also imitated him, and wanted to listen to it first.

As a result, as soon as I leaned down, I felt something touch my ear, it was cool, a little soft, and my first reaction was that it seemed to be some kind of meat worm......
