After hearing Vicky's voice, Tukassa's hanging heart relaxed, but after listening to Vicky's words, his brow furrowed slightly, and his rodent-like face revealed human doubt.

"Just kidding! Four or five human cubs, in the sewers, what are they doing here, how did they come here?"

You must know that the sewers in Karando are still relatively chaotic, and the sewer mouth on the civilian area has long been blocked with an iron fence, and if the adventurer wants to enter, he needs a certificate of union entrustment, and the guard in charge of this matter will hand over the key.

It is so troublesome for adventurers to enter the sewers, let alone the weak human cubs, and if Tuka's memory is correct, it is only rare to encounter human cubs in the sewers.

The last time I met him, I was lucky, and I met a human cub who accidentally broke into the territory of the nezumi, and this time, according to Vicky, I ran into four or five at a time, which was as much as a real dragon in the sewers.

Soon, however, there was a chaotic commotion at the mouth of the sewer, dispelling the doubts that had just risen in Tukasa's mind.

"Monster!

"Mom, I miss Mom! Wow!"

"Get out of here! monster! Be careful that I'm not kind to you. ”

"Humanity's Little ...... Cubs, it's my companions out there, you run...... I can't run away!"

Whether it is a male voice or a female voice, it is a very immature children's voice, and when you listen to it, you are a young human being.

Tukasa's emotions in his voice alone were crying, despair, and reluctance.

However, it is also mixed with Vicky's triumphant, but somewhat stammering lingua franca, a very strange tone, and a little out of place.

"Is it ......?"

Tukasa suddenly remembered that before his previous trips, the priests would tell him to pay more attention to some unusual places in the sewers, and then tell him.

It had also asked the priest what it was looking for.

In Tukasa's opinion, the nezumi sacrifice was a little old but full of wisdom, and it did not hide it from Tukasa, and it did not hide it all.

It turned out that in the sewers of Karando, there was a space magic artifact left here, which was said to be the relic of a legendary traveling mage, but it fell into the sewers for some reason.

After this news was known to the priest, he came to this free city - Karando without stopping.

In order to obtain this spatial magic artifact, according to the priestess, he has spent four years.

In the past four years, in addition to training them and the nezumi kind, it has traveled all over the sewers, but unfortunately it still found nothing.

But it still didn't give up, and let the nezumi it trained to search for it until the day it was found.

Although Tukasa didn't know what the legendary brigade mage represented, if he wanted to add the legendary prefix, it would definitely be something that the nezumi couldn't provoke.

After all, rat people are creatures, and even Tukasa himself has to admit that they are a naturally weak intelligent race in the Io continent.

Except for a small number of nezumi who can be converted into professionals and a small number of mutant nezumi who have awakened their magical talents after mutating, the rat has a very low race ceiling of its own.

There are only a handful of legendary nezumi in the history of the Io continent, and even now there is no nezumi who can become a god and ignite the divine fire.

Most of the rat people's professions have already reached the limit when they reach the fourth order, and if there are no other adventures to enhance their own quality, I am afraid that once the weakening period arrives, it will be difficult to maintain even the fourth order, let alone the fifth order.

And now, if those human cubs suddenly appeared, if it was all because of that space magic curiosity.

Then it Tukasa can not only be described as lucky today, it is almost like the presence of the lady of the night to protect it.

But it was the lucky boy who was more fortunate than the Vicky boy, and Tukasa's original brow was gone, and he couldn't help but crack open his sharp mouth full of sharp teeth, and there was still a little blank hollowness in his cherry-sized red eyes.

It makes it feel like it's been hit by a huge cheese, and even a little bit of panic when it wakes up on the cake.

The rat men on the other giant rats also squeaked and exchanged words when they heard the movement, and there were words of gratitude to the priest and admiration for Vecchi's keen sense of smell.

Of course, more of them are the rat men who stepped forward and took the initiative to ask for help from Vicky.

When the first nezumi stepped forward, the other rat knights also rushed around Tukasa, asking to go up and fight alongside Vicky.

After all, although there is merit in going back, it is definitely not the same as the merit of going up and capturing the human cub with his own hands and watching from below.

They were a little impatient, but the knight's discipline meant that they did not swarm like the other creatures, but followed Tukasa's orders.

In the face of the giant rat knights, who were all eager to fight, Tukasa was not easy to choose a candidate for a while, just as they were arguing about whether it was better to go up.

The sound in the sewer pipe faded away and fell silent, but all the nezumi, including Tukasa, didn't care.

They are more concerned about the honor in front of them, and nothing else is worth mentioning.

However, Tukasa didn't delay for long, after all, although he was a first-order giant rat knight of Vicky, in the face of a full five human cubs, it was still possible to overturn if he was lightly attacked.

After all, the Giant Rat Knight is only half a person tall at most, and the size advantage is not big, at most it is the lead in skill.

So it quickly decided who would go up, and it was with five rat riders, and the remaining five rat riders were waiting at the mouth of the sewer.

However, even though some of the giant rat knights were not selected by Tukasa, although their expressions were a little lost, they did not complain, but silently retreated and began to guard tacitly.

It shows that Tukassa's status in their hearts is still very high.

After ordering the five giant rat knights, Tukasa rushed to the entrance of the sewer pipe, which was more than a meter high.

After a few breaths, the five giant rat knights behind him also came up one after another, and in an instant, if there were ordinary people here, they would be half scared to death.

The black sewer mouth, within a few breaths, suddenly appeared in a small place twelve pairs of dense scarlet eyes, and with that squirming movement, I am afraid that anyone who sees it will be a little panicked.

However, when Tukasa came up, he didn't see Vicky, except for the smelly tattered mattress in front of him, and he saw the figure of a human cub, just at the innermost corner of the pipe.

But all you could see was a back, messy short white hair, tattered linen clothes, and a thin body.

Although it was not as strong as the human cub he had met last time, Tukasa was still very satisfied, after all, there were still four, and the emaciation of one or two was nothing.

"Vicky!"

It shouted in nezumi language, but not only did it not hear back, but it frightened the human cub around the corner of the pipe into hiding around the corner.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the white-haired human female disappear from view, Tukasa didn't have time to care about Vicky's non-response, after all, he had already been mentally prepared for Vicky's death.

So it quickly rode forward on the giant rat, and in a few moments, it scurried through the mouth of the pipe to the corner.

To Tukassa's surprise, there was a dead end around the corner, and there were no of the five humans Vicky had claimed.

Only a white-haired human female, leaning against the iron fence, stared at them fixedly.

This time, Tukasa could clearly see the face of the white-haired female in front of him, as well as the dark golden, cat-like vertical pupils that could not be concealed under the addition of dark vision.

"Damn it, Vicky, what about you?"

Tukasa suddenly felt a hint of foreboding, and couldn't help but blurt out.

"I'm here. ”

A familiar nezumi whispered above Tukasa.

Tukasa didn't think much of it and asked.

"What about the five human cubs you said?"

He ...... They're here!"

Tukasa was about to ask where he was when he heard a familiar voice from above.

"Monster!

The sound of despair sounded in the silent sewer pipe, but now Tukasa Jue's heart was beating violently.

A chill rose up its spine, for the voice was exactly the same as the direction from which Vicky had spoken.

"Mom, I miss Mom! Wow!"

Another crisp girl's voice sounded above Tukasa's head, and Tukasa knew that it was the voice that had just cried and shouted for his mother.

"Get out of here! monster, be careful I'm not kind to you!"

......

These were the movements Tukasa had just heard on the sewer steps.

It couldn't help but look up and see a creature it had never seen before, to be exact.

It was a black monster with the same eyes as the white-haired human, and the monster was clinging to the rock wall above it with its sharp claws, and Tukasa couldn't see any emotion in its dark golden eyes.

The tail covered in black scales curls up in the shadows and makes no sound.

Under the thin and shiny scale armor on the black monster's chest, it seemed to burn a flame that was gradually burning, turning from dark to light.

Reflected in the rat-man's shiny black hair, it was somewhat reflective.

In the light of the fire, Tukasa felt a sudden alarm, and was about to say something.

Then he saw that the fire in the black monster's chest rose again, turning from orange to red.

It's as if countless firewood has been added to burn in it.

In less than a moment, a blazing red light gradually rose from his chest, converging into a ball in the mouth of the black monster full of sharp teeth.

Before the alarm in Tukassa's heart had subsided, he felt the hair on his body stand on end again, and he didn't bother to alert the other nezumi.

He immediately drove the giant rat under him, using his most exquisite talent [Charge].

After two years of hard training, its [charge] has reached the level of proficiency, and it can be regarded as an old driver.

Tukasa and the giant rat beneath him flickered, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed behind the black monster with a blast of wind and a roar.

However, the five giant rat knights behind it were not so lucky.

When Tukasa looked back, he felt palpitations.

I saw the hot and majestic red-red magma spew out of the monster's toothy mouth.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is the place where it has just stood, and if it does not avoid it, I am afraid that it will be the first to suffer.

The pillar of fire composed of magma not only made the originally cold and damp sewer pipe instantly look like a furnace, but also lit up the cramped environment, and even reflected a red reflection outside the sewer mouth.

In less than a breath, the black monster in front of him allowed hot magma up to thousands of degrees Celsius to cover the corner of the pipe.

Directly wrapped all the five giant rat knights it brought, like sandwich biscuits.

Tukasa could still hear the squeaking wails at first, but it didn't take long for the nezumi and the rats to cease abruptly.

Before Tukasa could even think of it, half of the ten corpses in front of him had been swallowed up by thousands of degrees Celsius of magma.

The remaining remains of the nezumi were also half of the roasted prawns, curled up in a ball, just like the posture of the nezumi when they were born.

In the cramped environment, in addition to the magma that was still burning in the sky, the air gradually filled the air with the smell of meat.

This is the aroma of grilled meat.

In the past, Tukasa would have regarded this as a gift from the gods, but it would have been the price of his own kind.

Its heart, emotions are inadequate to outsiders also.

Its scarlet eyes were devoid of the joy and doubt they had before.

With only fear and panic, it realized that there was no way back.

The flaw of [Charge] made it unable to adjust its angle in the first place, so that after using it, it could not control the general direction at all, and could only rush behind the black monster, still five meters away from the white-haired human.

The magma blocked the road, and there was an iron fence behind it, and with the power of the rat people, even if they used [Charge], they couldn't break through this fence made of pig iron in the early years.

For Tukasa now, it can be described as a desperate situation.

However, it still did not give up, and suddenly in the flash of lightning, he saw the dark golden vertical pupils, and immediately remembered the white-haired human girl who was close at hand.

She has the same eyes.

So, it suddenly had a plan in mind, but instead of acting immediately, it slowly drove the giant rat behind it to retreat.

He stammered.

"You're not Vicky, what the hell are you ......"

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw the hideous black monster in front of him sprinting directly towards him like a cannonball.

A gust of wind surged in front of the large, black-scaled body.

This trick Tukasa recognized.

It is one of the advanced talents of the Rat Knight, [Charge].

It was instantly frightened out of its body, and no longer pretending, it hurriedly wanted to turn around and grasp the last straw.

Taking the white-haired girl hostage, as for whether it is useful or not, Tukasa can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

However, the black monster in front of him was faster than it.

Before Tukasa's spear could touch the white-haired girl's within a meter, he heard a boom.

Tukassa, along with the giant rat mount, was directly loaded with the pitch-black cannonball and flew on the iron fence.

Then it fell straight to the ground, it didn't even hold the riding spear in its hand, only heard a few crisp sounds, and the riding spear more than half a meter long rolled down to the feet of the black monster, stopping in front of the sharp claws.

However, Tukasa only felt that his whole body was about to fall apart now, and the corners of his mouth were oozing blood from this [charge], and his brain was already blank.

And the giant rat, which was the first target of the black monster, was even more dying, unable to move beside it.

The white-haired human girl on the side moved away from Tukasa for the first time and crawled to the side of the black monster with a slightly cowardly expression.

The girl with a larger body is more like a pet in front of this black monster, weak and tame.

Then, with the sound of footsteps, Tukasa felt its body lifted up by a sharp claw, grabbing its neck that it didn't know if it had or not.

Then, the familiar rat-man language, Vicky's voice, came to my ears.

"I'm not Vicky, I'm sorry!"

The sound had been distorted at the back, regaining a sound that Tukasa had never heard before.

Boom, like the neighing of a steam locomotive.

Then, Tukasa felt a pain in his tail, and his eyes went black, and the last scene left in his mind was.

A monster covered in pitch-black scale armor bared the corners of its fangs, and there was a hint of humanoid apology hanging on it.

The dark golden pupils looked at it with a hint of greed.

It's like a gourmet dessert.
