Chapter 12: The Rat Master

"Ah, I'm so tired," the fat man sat on the ground panting.

At this time, Huo Ling asked curiously, "Brother Lin, is this a magic circle?"

"Yes, but this is just the simplest first-level formation, even so, I have already tried my best, and there is still a bit of luck in it" Lin Fan shook his head and smiled

"Brother Lin, you are so modest, you came later than any of us, but now not only is the realm higher than us, but you can also learn the formation by yourself, which is really amazing"

Even Hua Yun on the side showed a look of admiration.

At this time, the fat man finally eased up a little, turned his head to Lin Fan and asked, "What kind of formation is this, why did these guys suddenly not move?"

"Hehe, this is called the Little Sancai Formation, which belongs to a kind of trapped formation, and the reason why they don't move is because their consciousness is in an illusion," Lin Fan explained

"Trapped, that means they're only trapped temporarily, right?"

Lin Fan nodded

The fat man suddenly had a bowel movement, and asked a little nervously, "Then how long can this formation last?"

"I don't know, it's mainly to see how much aura there is in the spirit stone. However, I don't think there should be any problem with holding on for a day or two. ”

"Then let's hurry up, it's always hairy to see these guys around"

Huo Ling and the others also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's recover the vitality in our bodies first, and we'll leave later"

After about thirty minutes, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to the others and asked, "How are you resting?"

Seeing everyone nodding, Lin Fan got up and said, "Okay, let's move on."

"I hope I won't run into these things again," the fat man suddenly said

"Click" was another soft sound, and everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, and they secretly scolded the fat man for whether his mouth had been opened

The fat man was also speechless at this time and covered his mouth.

The crowd stopped and listened quietly to the movement in the darkness.

Suddenly, the fat man pointed to a corner and shouted, "It's this guy again."

Everyone Dingqing saw that it was another mouse, and couldn't help but breathe a little relieved.

At this time, the fat man walked up to the mouse and said with a smile, "Master Mouse, we are quite destined."

"Brother Da Ming, how do you know that this mouse is the one just now" Hua Yun asked curiously

"Underestimate your Brother Ming's eyesight, I can use the human head to ensure that this is definitely the one just now, you see if he is all black" The fat man patted his chest and said

The three of them couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard this

But it was a little strange that the mouse was not afraid of people, and even though the fat man had already walked in front of him, it still stood in place, just looking at them a little vigilantly.

"Hey, Lord Rat, a few of us are trapped here now, I don't know if you can just give us a clear way, if one day we can get out of trouble, we will definitely spend our lives to support you" The fat man said to the mouse decently

The three of them couldn't help laughing.

Similarly, the same is true of the monitoring personnel who are far away from the cave, seeing the fat man's actions one by one, his face is flushed, and even Bai Lu on the side almost didn't jump, and quickly glanced to the side.

"What's the matter, do you have a response" Lin Fan couldn't help but tease

The fat man ignored Lin Fan, still looking down at the mouse and said, "How is it?"

At this time, I saw that the mouse turned around in place a few times and suddenly turned around and ran into the darkness

Seeing this, the fat man immediately chased after him with great joy.

Several people were worried that the fat man would be in danger again, and they hurried up.

After about five or six minutes of running, they had reached the end of the cave, and the mouse had disappeared in a flash.

A few people walked up to the front in confusion and looked left and right, only to notice that there was a crack in the rock that was slanting down on the left, and there was only room for one person to bend over. Lin Fan felt that there was indeed air flowing, which proved that this cave was indeed connected to a passage somewhere.

Several people glanced at each other, and Lin Fan took the lead in entering the crack.

The further he went, the narrower the crack became, and in the end Lin Fan almost crawled through, but fortunately there was no danger in the cave, otherwise he would not have been able to react at all.

After crawling for more than ten minutes, the front was suddenly cheerful, and Lin Fan and the others finally crawled out of the crack.

At this moment, they were surprised to find that they had returned to the main road before, but in a much higher position than before.

"I'm really lucky, I didn't expect to climb back so easily" Huo Ling was a little excited

"Fat man, it seems that your rat master didn't scream in vain, but don't forget to promise people that you will spend your whole life to provide for you" Lin Fan patted the fat man's shoulder and smiled

"Yes, maybe people don't want to go with me," the fat man immediately began to regret it

"Shhhh

Everyone immediately held their breath when they heard a stumble of footsteps behind them.

"I'll go, these guys are dogs, you can smell it from so far away" A few people turned around and ran inside

It wasn't long before they saw a staircase at the end of the tunnel, and without thinking about it, they ran down the stairs.

At this time, the group of small monsters behind them had also caught up, but what was strange was that they seemed to be very afraid of this staircase, and they did not dare to step into this place at all.

And Lin Fan had already run down the stairs at this time, and they didn't know what was going on behind them.

At the end of the stairs were two stone doors, and a few of them quickly pushed open the stone doors and hid inside.

And at the moment when Lin Fan and a few people entered the stone gate, the monitoring room outside the cave suddenly swelled, and the picture behind the original stone gate suddenly turned into a snowflake.

"What's going on," Bai Lu asked with a frown

"It's not clear for the time being, we're looking for the cause of the malfunction," said a young man on duty next to him

At this moment, Bai Lu's heart suddenly gave birth to an ominous premonition.

Lin Fan and the others sat at the back of the gate and rested for a while, and after waiting for a long time, they didn't hear any other sounds.

The fat man couldn't help but wonder a little and said, "Did those little monsters give up?"

The other three were also a little confused

Only then did they realize that behind the door was a huge natural cave, and there were several slight cracks on the top of the cave, and a little sunlight came in in a trance, although it was not bright, but it was enough to see the surrounding environment clearly. In the center of the cave is a man-made stone platform on which a large metal chest is placed.

The fat man just wanted to run over, but was stopped by Lin Fan next to him.

He looked at Lin Fan with some confusion

I saw Lin Fan say calmly, "Don't worry, it's the end, I don't care about this time, it's better to be careful."

The fat man nodded approvingly

"Let's go over slowly, each of you pay attention to your surroundings, don't get caught in any more traps, to be honest, I think this assessment is a bit too simplistic," Lin Fan reminded

The four of them slowly moved back to back to the box.

Seeing that nothing had happened, the fat man began to relax. "I think you're a little overly worried, isn't that fine?"

Lin Fan was also a little puzzled, but he still vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart.

"Maybe the dangers of the assessment are all in the road ahead, and we just took a shortcut by mistake, so we got here without danger," Huo Ling also said with a relaxed face

"Oh, maybe"

"Don't think about it anymore, it's up to you whether you win or lose," the fat man smiled and put his palm on the fingerprint reader of the metal box.

With a "click", the box opened, and there were four delicate jade plaques lying neatly inside

"Haha, now you've finally completed the task," the fat man laughed, taking one of them in his hand.

"Not good" Lin Fan suddenly shouted, and then kicked the fat man out with a kick.
