Chapter 250: Golden Mouse
If you can hide in the hole, you can earn a point.
Huali jumped back on the tiger's back and followed it into the cave.
Finally the hole was blocked by them, and now it's pitch black.
But in the darkness there are many pairs of shining eyes.
This bit of darkness still can't help the beast's eyes.
They looked at each other, and there were no beasts.
Everyone has different sizes, from the size of a small tiger to the size of a flower.
But the same thing is that everyone is tiger-headed, but there are some differences in details.
Among them, the most beautiful is still his own snow shadow in Lu Jin's opinion.
Snow Shadow didn't have much presence along the way, because Lu Jin instilled in it his low-key idea of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Hua Li snorted lightly a few times at this time, and it told the little beasts not to cultivate or use their spiritual power first, let alone roar loudly.
The cave was not deep, but it was spacious, and the mountain and the other little beasts nodded, and walked back and forth in the cave.
They were all active at an age, and soon the little beasts who had nothing to do for the time being began to explore the small cave.
Not to mention, Lu Jin really found some clues.
The cave didn't seem to her to be natural, more like a sword had been sharpened.
Lu Jin let the snow shadow put his ears against the stone wall and walked slowly.
Soon, Snow Shadow rolled its eyes and stopped in one place.
There are faint echoes and the sound of flowing water.
I didn't use much force to raise my claw, but gently tapped it with the tip of my claw, and the faint echo became louder.
Snow Shadow whined a few times, not loud, but enough to attract the small beasts around it.
"It's empty, and there's some sound of water. ”
The little tiger walked over, and when he heard Snow Shadow's words, he was also very interested, and his body was several laps larger than Snow Shadow, and he also squatted next to Snow Shadow when he walked over, and put his ears on it.
The flower mile above moved his ears and meowed in surprise.
The curious little beasts also stepped forward one by one to listen.
Snow Shadow moved out of the way, and walked twice behind the beasts, and in their novelty, suddenly walked to the corner of the cave and snatched away an inconspicuous fist-sized stone.
After the stone was removed, a small bulge leaked from below, and there was no need to press it, only a slight click was heard, and the hollow wall just now opened.
Lu Jin was a little speechless, although it was said that the intelligence of the little beasts was not as good as that of adults, but it was obvious that to this extent, he was afraid that they would not be able to find out.
I only heard the sound of screaming one after another, and was finally interrupted by Huali.
"Don't be so loud, you'll attract the outside inside. Huali stopped in time, and it turned its head to look at the snow shadow in the corner: "It was the snow shadow who found and opened this place, let's let it go in first." ”
Snow Shadow shook his head: "Tiger first." ”
There is a relatively strict status in a race, and since the little tiger has become the leader, it must be respected enough.
The leader eats in the lead when hunting, and the leader leads in the front when advancing.
This is the immutable principle.
The little tiger nodded, but Huali asked Snow Shadow to come and follow them.
In this squad, it's either strength or wisdom, and if you don't have both, then obediently follow behind.
Fortunately, there are also benefits of not having high intelligence, and they don't have so much thought.
Entering this hidden cave, Hua Li jumped down, took a light step and turned around, came to the door, groped for a while, and closed the stone wall of the cave in the cave again.
The traces of man-made excavation of the cave in this cave are even more obvious.
Although the underground river existed, there were several holes of different sizes on either side of the stream, two more than they were.
In other words, if there are more squads than them, it is completely sufficient.
There was a glimmer of light in every cave, and the door was ajar, and the light came out of it.
Obviously, this cave is what Kunlun's demons are going to come out and live in.
It's just that they don't explain, and the number is limited, so they have to be explored and successfully occupied by themselves.
Hua Li didn't let everyone find their own holes to settle down first, but completely closed the door one by one, letting the glimmer disappear.
They exchanged ideas, and one by one, they lay around the door, silently guarding.
Now it's not a day, and before Lianhua comes, Huali feels that she can't take it lightly.
Lying next to the little tiger, Hua Li lay on his side with his ears on the ground, distinguishing the sound.
Except for the deliberate slowing of the breathing of the small beasts, the sound of the murmuring stream is around.
In addition to the flowers, the little beasts also listened to something lying on the ground in a similar way.
During this time, Snow Shadow closed his eyes and rested half-asleep.
Because it knew that even if it fell asleep, there was Lu Jin, and there were other squads coming, and it was not afraid that it would not be able to react.
I don't know how long it took, it was pitch black here, and although the little beasts could see, the time in the dark would seem like a long time.
During this period of time, some little beasts even felt that several years had passed.
Some of the little beasts have long stopped lying on the ground to listen to the sound, but lying on the ground and tickling, and some are licking their paws.
Suddenly a faint meow was heard, and for a moment these small movements seemed to freeze, and everyone fell silent again.
Snow Shadow also woke up.
There was a faint chattering sound, like the sound of a rat burrowing.
Judging the direction of the sound, the little beasts quietly surrounded them.
It's a hunting instinct.
Once a target appears within the range of a carnivore, everyone's reaction is to sneak over and strike again when they reach a certain hunting range, killing them with one blow.
The faster sparse sound grew louder and closer, and it didn't sound like it could come from a single one.
Something is leading the way, all the way to the goal of this quick hole.
Suddenly, the voice stopped.
The sound of the beasts' breathing also fell silent.
Suddenly, a small head burst out of the ground.
It looks like a mouse, but it is only a little smaller than a flower mile, it has a long eye like a jewel on its head, two ears on each side, and its fur is soft and pale yellow, which is much better than that of ordinary mice.
The moment the golden mouse came out, it saw the scene that made its body tremble.
It was the sensation of a numb scalp staring at a dozen eyes glowing with different colors.
Then it heard a sudden sound of breaking wind above its head, and it was crushed by something soft, and then it heard a cat meow, and it was pulled in by a large paw.
Before it could struggle, it heard the nasty cat that pressed on it suddenly speak.
Of course, it is the universal beast language.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. ”
The golden mouse shook its body, and saw that it couldn't shake off the cat that was pressing on it, so it had to accept its fate, and its voice trembled a little and said, "No, no, don't eat me." ”
"Don't eat, don't eat. Hua Li comforted it gently, and said: "We are all chosen, and everyone in Kunlun cannot devour each other." ”
Although the golden mouse was skeptical of Hua Li's words, it could clearly feel it, and there was no killing intent.
As a party that is often preyed, the golden mouse is extremely sensitive to the killing intent of carnivores, and although it is besieged by carnivores at this time, the sense of crisis is not high.
"What do you want. The golden mouse was quite smart and asked.
Hua Li said: "What about your team, can they also dig holes like you." ”
"They're somewhere else, only I'm coming this way. The golden mouse said.
"Did you notice anything different here?" asked Hua Li curiously, but never moved her body away.
This thing that looks like a mouse, but it's not much smaller than it, and it can dig holes, although everyone fences it off, but Huali feels that it can't be taken lightly.
The reason why there is no hostility towards it is because Huali wants to understand the outside through it.
The golden mouse's paws shaved, but then it was flipped belly up, and a huge tiger claw crushed it.
Hua Li walked next to the golden mouse after getting out: "Cooperate a little, maybe our two teams can live here together." ”
The golden mouse's eyes rolled, and it answered Hua Li's last question: "We are not of the same race, but we are all rats, I am a four-eared spirit mouse, and I can hear different sounds in the ground with long ears and eyes." ”
"Very well, if you are careful, these three days should be easy. Hua Li complimented.
Hearing that some beasts say that it is good, the golden mouse is also happy, after all, who doesn't like to listen to other people's praise.
It's just that it sighed: "We are not the only ones who can dig holes, there are also pangolins, lizards and the like, and we don't dig holes in the ground and have no natural enemies." ”
Hua Li's eyes rolled, and it said, "It's okay, you let your group come over, we can share a cave and take care of each other." ”
"Really?" The golden mouse was still a little hesitant, after all, these little beasts in front of them were also their natural enemies.
Hua Li said: "We can already not eat, we don't have to be afraid, and you can make a hole, and it will not take up the space in this hole, we are not in conflict, as long as there are other teams outside, you can help." ”
The golden mouse was a little moved, but it was instinctive to distrust carnivores, and it thought for a moment and asked Hua Li, "Is your leader this tiger?"
It refers to the owner of the paw that has been holding it down.
Huali nodded.
"I want it to swear on your behalf, and if you break the rules, you will be expelled from Kunlun Mountain. ”
The little tiger glanced at Hua Li, and saw Hua Li nodding.
"Good. The little tiger swears.
It's not a demon oath, but demon beasts pay far more attention to conventions than humans, especially when the oath is made by the leader.
Hearing the little tiger's simple oath, the golden mouse breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you are an ally, take the claws away from your allies." ”
"Oh. The little tiger raised his paw and took it back.
In fact, it has been pressing this fat golden mouse, and the little tiger's paws are also very tired, it does not dare to press hard, for fear of flattening the golden mouse, but the force is light and afraid that it will escape, this does not dare to focus, and the paws are quite sore.
After the golden mouse was freed, it spun around and said, "I'll go down and call them." ”
"You're not going to run. "Flower mile road.
"Don't run, since it's all said, it's done. "The golden mouse looks like it's almost able to pat its chest with its paws.
But Huali still didn't feel at ease, in fact, it wasn't just Huali, Snow Shadow didn't need Lu Jin to remind her, but also thought about it by herself.
The tiger who had just been the leader was assured, but the mouse was not.
I only heard Hua Li say: "You also swear, you don't look like a leader, so in your personal name." ”
The golden mice swear in their own names and are left to their disposal if they break the contract.
After all, even if the little beasts in front of them don't stay in the main peak of Kunlun, they will be on the peak next to them, and if it violates the agreement, it won't be able to run away.
After both sides made a verbal oath, Huali let it go.
Snow Shadow was secretly observing Huali in the corner, which Lu Jin asked him to learn while observing.
Speaking of wisdom alone, without her, Snow Shadow would not be as good as this tabby cat.
At this time, Hua Li relied on her as if she relied on Shuling back then, and even added a change word.
Lu Jin felt that she was like raising a child now, and while worrying that Snow Shadow would make a mistake without her reminder, he was worried that Snow Shadow would rely on her too much, and that one day she would disappear, and Snow Shadow would not understand anything.
So now she just wants Snow Shadow to learn, and when Snow Shadow asks many questions, she no longer gives direct answers, but tries to make it think, guide it to think.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, this truth Lu Jin clearly understands.
Snow Shadow said thoughtfully, "Hua Li is worried that this four-eared spirit mouse will go outside to report to the other teams. ”
"Not bad. Lu Jin praised it, this good voice was not in response to Snow Shadow's conjecture, but to praise Snow Shadow for being good.
At least it thought right and could keep up with Huali's train of thought.
Here, Lu Jin communicated with the Snow Shadow Divine Sense, and the golden mouse over there had already returned the same way.
Hua Li continued to lie on the ground and listen to the sound, and after a while, the golden mouse poked its head out again.
This time the digging was much louder.
It's just that the probe is only one golden mouse for the time being.
It looked at Hua Li and the little tiger and said, "You all step back a little and retreat to the other side of the water." ”
The stream is not deep, this should be the highest part of the stream, and Hua Li retreated to the other side of the stream with the little beasts.
This golden mouse is also worried that Hua Li will regret it again, so there is some distance and can also make a reaction at any time.
Fortunately, Huali really wants to cooperate with these rats, after all, they also have shortcomings, and the relationship between the demon clan is mutually restrained.
What the mice are afraid of, they are not necessarily afraid, they can't beat it, and the mice are more flexible and can help.
Anyway, they had already come, which meant that there was no problem, and Hua Li didn't do anything else, just snorted twice, and the little beast that had been surrounding the entrance of the cave waded through the not deep water to the other side of the water.
Seeing that they really left a safe distance.
The golden mice squeaked a few times in their language, and a small dirt bag rose from the ground, and mice of different sizes and appearances broke through the ground.
The last one, and the largest one, is slightly larger than Hua Li, the nails on its claws are very sharp, and its cultivation is also the highest, so it is the leader.
The little beasts on Snow Shadow's side didn't move, they all listened to Huali and Huyi's arrangement.
After a long moment of silence, the biggest rat took the lead out of the hole.
The little beasts here still didn't move, for fear of startling them.
After making sure that it was safe, as the golden mice said, the mice broke through the ground.
In terms of numbers, mice are actually not as numerous as small animals.
Moreover, there are not many species of rats, and their size is small, so it is impossible for them to occupy a mountain in a group like small beasts.
