Chapter 54: Gopher Cave
The blood was thick, and the aura of terror enveloped everyone's heart.
In addition to the corpses dragged away by the demon hyenas, seven or eight mutilated corpses were left inside and outside the tent, all of which were gnawed horribly.
The scene was too bloody, and the two girls, Yang Xuan and Shanran, didn't dare to approach, but just watched from a distance outside.
The costumes of the corpses are not the same, although they are all black, but it is obvious that one of the black clothes is embroidered with brocade, which is the color of the black clothes society. On the other side, it was all black, and even covered with a black scarf.
Who dares to be so bold as to attack the team of the second prince of the Immortal Kingdom?
After checking around, I didn't find the second prince of the Immortal Kingdom who was dressed in white. Judging from the corpses of the deceased in the black-clothed society, they were basically injured by the blades of the sword and the heavy blows of immortal power.
"Let's go, Ling Zi. Yang Lixuan was a little frightened, it was the first time he had seen so many dead people, and the one who died was still the master of the Black Clothes Society, the secret agent in the Immortal Kingdom. He didn't know what kind of vicious consequences such a vicious scene would bring.
Just think about it, the second prince of the Immortal Kingdom was attacked, what an earth-shattering event.
"Let's go. Jin Ling silently led everyone away, this matter was too important, it was not as weak as they could be involved.
Quietly leave the tent camp. The cordon could no longer go, and they walked aimlessly to a deep meadow.
This deep meadow is about a thousand acres in size, undulating, and the ground is full of undulating long grass, which grows dark and dark, and is more than half a person tall. From time to time, there was a stench in the grass. From time to time, you can see a gray-black gopher that is a little bigger than the usual tanuki, jumping around in it.
The beans snorted and sniffed carefully on the grass.
Their arrival startled a group of gophers from time to time and fled in all directions.
"Looks like this is one of the areas where gophers usually live. Yang Xuan said, "As for the Rat King, is it really underground?"
The giant demon rats that were not slipping away from the autumn were observing them in disbelief. Finally, a demon gopher couldn't help but jump out of the grass behind their team, opened its sharp mouth, and bit the back of Yang Lisheng's neck after it was broken!
The distance was still a foot away, and I didn't see how Yang Lisheng moved, only a cold light flashed, and then the horizontal knife was leisurely returned to the sheath. The demon rat had fallen from the air with blood spilled, and several long cuts had been cut in its belly.
Jin Ling withdrew his bloody blade claw and snorted coldly.
This hand is really unambiguous, quite a master's style. Yang Xuan could already see stars in her eyes.
The first demon rat was just the beginning, and then, more and more demon rats continued to emerge from the jungle. Not only did Zhou Cheng make a move, but all the people began to clean up.
One by one, the demon rats fell from the air with blood, or were killed on the spot on the ground, and the thick bloody aura attracted more companions. Everyone had to sit back to back, in two circles, and slash in all directions. Soon a pile of rat corpses piled up on the ground around them.
"We're not going to go to the gopher's lair, are we?" Yang Lixuan wailed.
He was so distracted that he was accidentally bitten by a demon gopher, and a piece of flesh was torn off his shoulder, and he didn't even use the armor made of demonic beast skin on his body. It seems that the kung fu of these demon rats is basically used in their mouths.
That's not all, he was busy shaking off the demon mouse, but another demon mouse jumped high, opened its mouth and bit his throat fiercely, Senbai's teeth radiated cold light.
Fortunately, Yang Lisheng shot down the demon rat with an arrow in time, and only then did he solve the temporary crisis.
The demon rat actually went forward to besiege them, and at first everyone had more than enough to deal with, but as the number of opponents increased, everyone's hands and feet were a little messy. Many people began to get injured, and Yang Lixuan's feet were still gnawed later. Although the shoes are not broken, they are still painful.
There are so many demon rats, each one the size of a tanuki. The body is also agile, and the teeth are sharp, which is impossible to prevent. The crowd began to stumble left and right.
Although the corpses of the demon rats have been piled up like a hill, there is still a growing trend. Everyone fought so hard that everyone was covered in rat blood, and the smell was unpleasant. The man is okay, the woman has never seen such a scene, Yang Xuan and Shan Ran are disgusted and vomit, and their hands and feet are weak.
Yang Lixuan couldn't help but scolded angrily: "Sure enough, they came to their nest, who would have thought that there would be so many mice hidden under this ground!"
Yang Lisheng's arrows had already run out, so he had no choice but to take out his short sword and fight, stumbling left and right, and said to Jin Ling: "Lingzi, think of a way, there are too many mice, if this continues, we will all be exhausted to death!"
Jin Ling's blade claws were also full of the flesh and blood of the demon rat, and the blood stained both hands and forearms red. His face was also covered with rat blood, which looked a little hideous.
This is indeed not the way to go. It seems that he really inadvertently broke into the devil's gopher lair, and before he saw the rat king, he was going to be exhausted to death.
Two sparks came out of Jin Ling's hands, gradually increasing and getting brighter and brighter. Seeing this, the four demon gophers beside him squeaked and retreated, their eyes full of vigilance.
Sure enough, I'm afraid of fire. Jin Ling thought to himself, and once again urged the immortal power, and the fire light in his hand suddenly expanded, becoming two fire balls. Throwing it to the ground with force, two balls of fire smashed into the thick fallen leaves in the jungle, and immediately ignited the fallen leaves. Originally, the plants and trees in this forest were flammable, and these two flames were caused by the immortal power out of the body, which was even more burning, and the power was dozens of times that of ordinary flames.
The ground soon burned and expanded rapidly. Layers of rat corpses were ignited, emitting a strong scorching stench. As the fire expanded, the demon gophers that had emerged in an endless stream around began to retreat, squeaking and jumping back into the cave one by one. Some of them couldn't dodge, and they were caught in the firelight, and they were quickly ignited into a fireball, screaming incessantly, jumping around in the forest, but lighting fires in all directions, spreading the fire continuously.
The smoke and fire are very choking. Fortunately, the immortals' breath-holding skills are good. Everyone held their breath and drove away the demon rats.
Seeing that the effect of setting fire was good, Shan Ran and the others took branches to start the fire and lit it around. In this way, the fire quickly burned in full force, and all kinds of shrubs were burned one after another in the place centered on them, and the surrounding area soon became a scorched earth. On the charred black earth, there are several huge cave entrances.
The entrances of these caves ** are hidden in the original dense forest, and they are actually stony, naturally formed karst caves, which are covered with a layer of forest trees and rat dung, covering their original appearance. Now the dense forest and rat dung have been burned by the fire, and the true face of the cave is revealed.
Under the smoke and fire, the demon rats jumped into the cave one after another.
The fire continued to burn for an hour, and Jin Ling and the others saw that this area was almost burned before they began to extinguish the fire. It also took a lot of effort to stop the spread of the fire.
Looking at the seemingly unfathomable cave inside, everyone was a little dumbfounded. I thought that the cave of the rat king** was just a tunnel that he drilled out, but who knew that in the depths of the underground, there would be a cave.
The inside the cave is stinking and dark.
In this case, they did not dare to enter easily, and they did not know what danger was inside.
"What should I do?" Jin Ling gathered everyone together to figure out a way. Judging from the current situation, the Rat King must be in this cave. But generally speaking, such a cave, the underground must be like a labyrinth, with thousands of passages, and it is very easy for people to get lost when they go down. If nothing else, the thousands of gophers that ran in alone were enough for them to drink a pot.
After all the deliberations, there is no good way. In the end, Jin Ling came up with an idea.
"We don't know the terrain and can't get in easily. Jin Ling said that back then, Lord Yu Lingxian was also in the midst of the expedition, and strayed into the rebels' tunnels, and almost trapped in it. But there is always a way.
Under the leadership of Jin Ling, they threw some plants and trees that were difficult to burn and even had a great smell of smoke into the cave, creating a large amount of smoke. Then they all used fairy power to shoot out their palms, and used the palm wind to send the smoke into the depths of the cave.
