Chapter 3: The Rats at the Bottom of the Well

"Go ahead and keep watch, and if it comes out of front, try not to hurt it. After Bai Xichen finished speaking to a few people, he pulled Wufeng and jumped on the roof: "How is it? Can you feel where it is?"

Wufeng nodded, and then ran down the roof to the front yard with light skills: "Senior brother! Wufeng suddenly stopped and was about to jump off the roof, but was stopped by Bai Xichen.

"Don't act rashly yet!" Bai Xichen slowly squatted down and gently uncovered a piece of tile.

Wufeng was also like Bai Xichen, uncovered a piece and looked down, only to see a mouse the size of a weasel, standing next to Liu Yan's bed, not knowing what he was muttering.

The mouse muttered for a while, then jumped onto Liu Yan's bed, first broke his mouth open with two paws, and then spat out a black pill-like thing from its own mouth.

Bai Xichen couldn't help but be a little curious, which one of these rats was playing?

"Senior brother, do you think it is helping Liu Yan detoxify?"

Bai Xichen touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and nodded slowly: "It's possible." ”

The mouse seemed to have achieved its goal, jumped to the ground and looked at Liu Yan and muttered a few words, then jumped out of the window and ran in the direction of the door.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly covered the tiles and quickly chased after the mouse.

When the rat ran to the door, it suddenly stopped, seemed to know that there was someone outside the door, muttered a few words, jumped on the roof, and fled from the side.

Bai Xichen and the others hurriedly jumped in the direction and moved quickly on the roof. At the same time, several people outside the gate also performed light skills, quickly chasing the rats, and the two teams played the light skills to the fullest.

After chasing for about five miles, the group came to a wasteland, and there was a dilapidated mansion next to the wasteland, but the rat had long since disappeared.

"Strange! It was still in front just now, why did it suddenly disappear?" Bai Xichen suddenly stopped, looked left and right and found no trace of the mouse, and then looked at Wufeng and asked, "How is it?"

Wufeng closed his eyes, quickly opened his eyes, shook his head, and said, "What method should it use to hide its own aura." ”

Bai Xichen turned his head, touched his chin and stared at the dilapidated house on the side, and then waved his hand to a few people: "Go in and find it." ”

The old house looks to be old, most of the tiles on the roof have fallen off, and the door in front of the door has disappeared.

When a few people entered the room, they smelled a foul smell, like carrion mixed with a smell of urine. Several people stood at the door and took a general look, the ground was full of debris, and the doors and windows of the house inside were also broken.

"Senior Brother Wuchen, it stinks so much here, that rat shouldn't be hiding inside!" said a disciple pinching his nose.

"That's not necessarily!" Bai Xichen fanned the air in front of him, and then led a few people to search inside.

Several people checked inside and outside the house, every corner of the house, but still no trace of the rat was found, and the wind was as good as before, and even the breath of the rat could not be felt.

"How is it?, have you found anything abnormal?" Bai Xichen asked as he looked at everyone.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Senior Brother Wuchen!" At this time, Wufeng suddenly ran over and said to Bai Xichen: "There is a dry well over there!"

"Check it out!"

Wufeng walked in front of him, came to a deep grass, and after picking up the grass, a dry well appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Bai Xichen picked up a piece of wood from the ground, lit it and threw it inside, the dry well was large and small, and the bottom of the well could almost accommodate two people. However, the dry well is not high, about three adults high, and such a height is not difficult for cultivators.

"I'll go down and take a look!"

"Senior brother, be careful!" Wufeng reminded.

"Hmm!" Bai Xichen nodded, and jumped down.

When he went down to the bottom of the well, Bai Xichen realized that there was a hole in the well, and there was a small hole in it, the size of a bucket. Bai Xichen picked up the burning wood, stretched it inside to take a look, and found that it was actually a big cave inside.

Bai Xichen decided to go inside to take a look, and after making a silent gesture with the people above, he put the torch aside and got in. As soon as I entered the room, a strong stench hit my nose.

Bai Xichen endured the smell and walked inside, and after walking about twenty steps, he saw some corpses on the ground. Judging by the shape of the bones, these are supposed to be the bones of animals.

"Squeak!" Just as Bai Xichen got up and was about to move forward, he suddenly heard a mouse call. Bai Xichen hurriedly extinguished the fire and squatted against the stone wall.

At this moment, there was another muttering sound in the darkness ahead, and it was the same sound that the mouse had made.

Sure enough, it was in it. Bai Xichen put his hand on the sword bar, and lit the fire again, ready to move on. But when he thought about it, the mouse was so fast that maybe as soon as he saw it, it would run away. Thinking like this, Bai Xichen retreated.

Wufeng, who was waiting outside, saw that Bai Xichen hadn't come out yet, so he planned to go down to find him. But just as he picked up the torch and prepared to go down, Bai Xichen had already come out of the cave and came to the bottom of the well.

Bai Xichen jumped out of the dry well on tiptoe.

"How's that doing, brother, what did you find?"

Bai Xichen sat on the edge of the well, gasping for breath.

"Senior brother, are you okay?" Wufeng looked at Bai Xichen worriedly.

"I ...... I......'m fine! It's just too stinky!" Bai Xichen said breathlessly, clutching his chest.

After Bai Xichen calmed down, he said to a few people: "That mouse is inside, but we have to set up an enchantment to prevent it from escaping again." ”

"But ......" Wufeng suddenly thought of a question: "Then what if there is another exit?"

Hearing Wufeng say this, Bai Xichen felt that it made sense, he hadn't thought of this question at all before. But he thought about it, if there was an exit over there, they wouldn't be able to catch it no matter what method they used, so it would be better to gamble.

"For the time being, there is no other way but to gamble. Bai Xichen looked at everyone and said, "You immediately arrange the enchantment, and I'll drive it out." After speaking, Bai Xichen jumped into the well again.

This time, Bai Xichen was not as cautious as before, he walked to the entrance of the cave and slapped his palm on the stone wall, and the entrance of the cave instantly became much larger, and then Bai Xichen walked in quickly with a torch. He had barely entered the cave when he saw a rat flash past him, and it was almost many times faster than a human.

"It's you who are waiting!" Bai Xichen smiled evilly, and after setting up an enchantment in place, he quickly flashed out of the cave.

At this time, Wufeng also went down to the bottom of the well, and after seeing Bai Xichen come out, he pointed to the mouse on the ground and said, "Senior brother, it fainted?"

Looking at the fainting mouse, Bai Xichen couldn't help but want to laugh, this guy must have run too fast, and he knocked himself unconscious when he touched the enchantment.
