Chapter 151 Human-rat War
Ten thousand war horses went straight to Yuling Peak, non-stop along the way, galloping like flying. Within a few days, the Mi family team came to a village three hundred miles away from Yuling Peak, and it was already late at this time.
There are about 500 households in this village, which can be regarded as a large village. It's a pity that the house is empty, and there is not half a figure to be seen, not even a single animal. Judging from the furnishings and dust on the houses, the villagers had not been away for long, and it seemed that they knew that there was going to be a war, and they moved their families.
The elite guards of the Mi family have been running around for four or five days in a row, and they are all physically and mentally exhausted, and those war horses are also tired and out of breath, and they need to be repaired and fed.
Mi Xiaoxi and Zhou Feng decided to let everyone rest in this village for one night, and then set off for Yuling Peak on the second day.
When night fell, the stars and moon in the sky were obscured by clouds, and I couldn't see my fingers. It was so quiet that I couldn't hear the sound of a single bug. What's even more strange is that the ten thousand war horses are also very quiet, and even gasping for breath is cautious.
The 10,000 elite guards, except for those on duty, leaned against the wall and leaned on each other to fall asleep, not paying attention to the abnormalities around them.
Zhou Feng jumped onto a roof, he glanced around, and found nothing suspicious.
At this time, Mi Xiaoxi also felt sleepy, so she went to a courtyard with several female guards to rest.
The night breeze is bleak and whirring, bringing chills to people. Zhou Feng sat on the roof without any sleep, as the leader of this team, he had to take responsibility and ensure their safety, and he did not dare to be careless. This is why Zhou Feng is willing to come alone, so that he can save a lot of worry.
In the middle of the night, the village was quieter, and only the snoring of the sleeping people and the wheezing of the horses could be heard. Zhou Feng's night vision ability is very strong, and he can really see the target within a radius of dozens of miles, except for trees, mountains and rocks, he didn't find anything.
The more this happened, the more Zhou Feng felt that something was wrong, why couldn't even a small creature be seen in such a vast realm? This is absolutely unreasonable.
"Master, do you think this place is suspicious?" The Red Water Demon Cow poked his head out of Zhou Feng's coat pocket while people were quiet.
"Yes. But I didn't find out where the suspicion was. Zhou Feng lowered his eyes and stared at the Red Water Demon Cow and said, he could feel that this old cow must have made a new discovery.
"They're all hidden underground, and there are so many of them that I can smell them. The Red Water Demon Cow raised his nose and said in affirmation.
"Old Black, can you sense what they are?" Zhou Feng's senses are good in all aspects, and his nose has a good sense of smell. But compared to the nose of the Red Water Demon Cow, Zhou Feng is still a little worse.
"It's a mouse. The Red Water Demon Cow sniffed the faint smell again, and said with great certainty.
"Mouse!" Zhou Feng eased his tense mood, he felt that these little guys were nothing to be afraid of.
Since Zhou Feng came to this world, he has encountered many rats, including a rat demon. Once a cat, he was quite fond of mice.
"Ah......h
A terrible scream shattered the silence, and many of the elite guards were awakened in their sleep.
Zhou Feng could hear that the cry was coming from a courtyard in the distance, and he landed on the courtyard like a fly.
I saw a black-haired mouse more than two meters long biting the head of an elite guard in its mouth and gnawing on it. The big rat had undergone a mutation, its blood-red eyes were terrifying, its body was swirling with black gas, and its claws and teeth were extremely sharp.
In the corner of the courtyard there was a newly dug burrow, and one after another large rats were scurrying out of it.
The elite guards in the courtyard who were awakened all brought up energy and mana to rain down on those terrifying black-haired mice.
All kinds of energy mana bombarded the bodies of these rats, and they all lost their effectiveness, but were absorbed by their bodies.
"Oh yes! It's this annoying ability again. Zhou Feng was slightly surprised, but his figure was already moving rapidly.
"Click!"
Zhou Feng's powerful big hand pinched the neck of a large mouse, and with a slight force, the mouse's neck was shattered, and blood gushed out of its nose and mouth.
There were several screams from the rest of the village's courtyards, and there were voices and the neighing of spirit horses. At this moment, a large number of black-haired rats appeared in the village. They frantically gnawed at people and horses, and the elite guards who didn't have time to take precautions died tragically under the mouths of the rats.
The elite guards of the Mi family all have iron armor to protect them, and ordinary sharp weapons can't hurt them. But the iron armor left a gap in the neck of the person, giving these rats a chance to take advantage of it.
Although the energy mana of the elite guards did not work on these large rats, they all wore swords. The elite guards, who had settled down from their fear, drew their swords one after another and fought with the black-haired mouse.
These black-haired rats also have black qi protection, and those ordinary swords can't do them any harm. For a while, the sound of shouting and killing, swords, and squeaks in the night resounded through the night sky.
Mi Xiaoxi rushed out of the encirclement of the rats under the protection of several female guards. These female guards were all Mi Yaoxi's personal disciples, and they all held an emerald green sword in their hands, dancing with green light, and they were moving in the night.
The emerald green sword fell on the body of the black-haired mouse, and it actually absorbed those black gases, and lost the protection of the black gas, and these mice became crispy skins. Soon, he was slashed countless by the emerald sword.
Zhou Feng's speed in the rat group was also getting faster and faster, and the white shadow soon became illusory, and one mouse after another was crushed by him, and the corpses were lying down in an instant.
It wasn't until it was dawn that the remaining rats fled in a hurry. At this time, the village was full of dead bodies, rivers of blood, and the smell of blood was everywhere.
After a night of fighting, the elite guards lost dozens of people, and the spirit horses were also killed by rats. This has not even started the official battle, and the troops have already been lost.
Zhou Feng walked quickly to Mi Xiaoxi's side and asked with concern, "Senior sister, are you okay?"
"It's fine. Why are there so many rats here?" Mi Xiaoxi frowned as she looked at the dead bodies all over the ground.
"I think it has something to do with wizards, those wizards are good at insect and beast witchcraft, and only they can do so many rats. "Zhou Feng has not seen many wizards use these insect Gu techniques, and with his experience, he can determine the origin of these rats.
"It seems that the sorcerer wants to give our Mi family a dismount first, and test our ability. Mi Xiaoxi can also guess that this matter is very witch and can't get rid of it.
"Haha...... , cat demon, we meet again. This time, I'm here to take revenge on you, and to give you a taste of what it's like to be abused. A bereaving young woman floated out of a cave like the wind.
