The evening breeze seemed to have weakened a lot, but the people who were sleeping in the forest couldn't help but tighten their coats. The broken and rotting leaves on the ground were mercilessly blown up by the wind, and finally slapped people's faces.

Although the cold wind was howling, the whole forest was quiet. Of course, in addition to Zhong Ruida's heavy wheezing voice, there is also Tu Fangfang's pretending to be coquettish.

Despite this, except for Xu He, the guards who had been on the road for a day still fell asleep early.

"Click!" there was a soft sound from the depths of the woods, sounding like a branch breaking. Although it was slight, the careful Xu He still heard it clearly.

After experiencing what had happened in the past two days, Xu He's nerves had been in a tense state, and the slightest sound would shake him all over.

The guards were still sleeping soundly, and Tu Fangfang was still moaning selflessly. Xu He picked up a burning wooden root and walked towards the dark woods step by step.

"What's wrong?"

The sudden words made Xu He almost fall. When he turned around, he saw Li Maocai holding a dead grass in his mouth and staring at him motionlessly.

Xu He pointed to the pitch-black woods. Then he put his finger to his lips and motioned for him not to speak again.

Li Mao was able to realize that he held the Wufang Sword tightly in his hand, and then followed Xu He's back and walked slowly.

The place where they were located was originally a wasteland full of withered vines. After some tidying up by the guards, a three-zhang square open space was revealed. Beyond the clearing, there are still dead trees and grass.

Xu He was already standing on the edge of the clearing, and although the weather was cold, his back was already soaked with sweat.

Li Mao saw Xu He's strange appearance, he held Xu He's arm holding the torch tightly, and then raised his arm above his head along with the torch.

The beating flames continued to spread forward, and the situation under the dead vines gradually became clear.

At the same time, Xu He's eyes opened unconsciously. It's just that in the cracks of the dead vines everywhere, a pair of small eyes are glowing green.

This creature is no stranger to Xu He, it is not as huge as the red pit viper, nor is it as fierce as the wild wolf and tiger.

It was about three feet tall, with a long pointed mouth, a grayish-black body, short limbs, and a long, fluffy tail standing up high, and the fluffy hairs on the tail stood erect, as if it was demonstrating anger against the person in front of it.

The reason why Xu He knew this strange creature was because the town of Huashan was poor at the beginning, and the townspeople cultivated every day, just living on the meager harvest.

Despite this, successive harvests have been unsatisfactory, and some have almost no harvests. The reason for this is that it is the creature in front of you.

They resemble mice, but they are several times larger than mice. When the crops are ripe, they spring out of the forest in droves. They will break deep into the soil and destroy ripe crops directly.

The townsfolk tried to capture it and slaughter it. But these things are extremely violent, and they never separate groups. Once one of them is threatened, the rest will attack it in groups.

Since the slaughter could not be achieved, the townspeople had no choice but to defend themselves against persecution of their crops. But practice has shown that these terrible things are simply pervasive. They gallop like the wind, and they are hard to find.

Later, the townsfolk named it: Ghost Mouse!

This kind of thing will continue until the arrival of the Forest of Transformation. He built a thick wall, and the city was paved with bluestone. The townsfolk hadn't seen the annoying ghost rat since.

The torches were still beating, and Xu He looked at the familiar faces in front of him. It was only at this moment that he realized that these ghost rats that gave the townspeople a headache day and night were actually from the labyrinth.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a scream came from behind Xu He.

Xu He and Li Maocai turned back almost at the same time.

"It's Tu Fangfang!"

Li Maocai quickly drew his sword.

"Be careful!"

Xu He suddenly shouted, and at the same time pushed Li Maocai out from his side.

It turned out that it was the moment the two of them turned around when they heard the screams. Nearly a hundred ghost rats under the dead vines suddenly jumped out together. If Xu He hadn't pushed Li Maocai away in time, it is estimated that he would have been bitten by a ghost mouse in the neck at this time.

Xu He saved Li Maocai, but he lost the opportunity to dodge. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen ghost mice directly threw Xu He to the ground.

"Boom, boom!"

A few bright lights appeared in the sky. Immediately afterwards, Li Maocai held a five-square sword and dragged Xu He on the ground.

Seeing that this man was brave, the ghosts and rats gathered together and waited for the opportunity.

After this shouting, the guards who were sleeping have already woken up. They wield their scimitars and swung them at the rats that were scurrying all over the ground.

Zhong Ruida walked out of the depths of the woods with the support of Tu Fangfang. His arm was dripping with blood, and his teeth were cracked in pain. As for Tu Fangfang, although she was not injured, she seemed to have been frightened a lot. Her upper body was almost completely naked, except for a red veil belly pocket covering her plump breasts.

Li Zhuang got a thick wooden stick out of nowhere at this time, and he set the top on fire. Then he kept waving at the ghost rat in front of him.

These ghost rats were obviously more afraid of fire, and they gathered together in piles, not rashly attacking, and not in a hurry to retreat.

"Ahh

The two guards of Huashan City were pounced on by a group of ghost rats, and Li Mao wanted to come to the rescue, but was stopped by a large number of ghost rats.

The two guards struggled weakly for a few moments, and finally were overwhelmed by the fluffy ghost rat.

"Fire!fire!" Li Zhuang shouted sharply on the other side. But how can the guards go back and fetch the torches now? In addition, these ghost rats are very small, and they can't use any swordsmanship at this time, and the only thing they can do is to bend down and slash at the ground.

But this method is okay for a while, if it takes a long time, how can so many ghosts and rats be hacked to death?

In the blink of an eye, two more young guards were drowned by the ghost rats. These small ghost rats seem to have really turned into powerful ghosts at this time, and have become a permanent nightmare for these young people.

Li Zhuang's heart was also very anxious, he held the burning wooden stick in his hand and tried to rescue those guards several times, but always when he just turned around, the ghost rats in front of him would swarm.

Zhong Ruida has been depressed for a long time, how to say that he is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes. I didn't expect to be injured by a little mouse now, if it is rumored that the rivers and lakes will not make people laugh off their big teeth?

Thinking of this, he slapped the ground with his palm, and his body soared directly into the air. Finally, it landed firmly on a branch.

Zhong Ruida's palms moved, and the internal force kept wandering between his palms. Its strength is so strong that even the surrounding branches are shaking with it.

Suddenly, he let out a loud cry in his mouth, and then both palms came out together.

The palm force broke the wind and "whirred", and everywhere it went, it was like a strong wind.
