Chapter 42: The Terrifying Soul Eater
This cave is actually not deep, but after actually coming down, the three people who came here for the first time were stunned by the scene in front of them. It is unknown whether the torches in his hands have fallen to the ground, and even if they do, no one will pick them up, because the torches have lost their effect here.
"Dust" with a hazy blue glow wandered in the air. When it gathers and disperses, when it opens and when it opens, it exudes a dreamy feeling far away from the mortal dust. It's hard to imagine such a beautiful view in the depths of this place.
"You three can't leave yet, don't look like you haven't seen the world. The four of Xuan Ye in front of him had already walked a short distance, and Ni Dao saw that Fengchen and the three of them had followed, but after coming in, he stood there in a daze, shouting at the top of his voice. When he shouted this, he had already automatically ignored the way he looked when he first appeared in this scene.
Here, although the three of them were surprised for a while, they also came back to their senses, and quickly caught up with them. At first glance, it's not a big deal, but it's just that there are a lot of tiny insects that can emit light here. Essentially, it's no different from a firefly.
No longer focusing on the insects, Wind Dust began to observe their surroundings with the light they emitted.
Unlike the narrow caves dug for quarrying, this cave is obviously naturally formed and very wide. In the middle of the cavern is a small but fast-flowing underground river, which is the source of the sound of running water. Seeing this river, Fengchen finally understood how this cave came about. There are no traces of man-made excavation on the cliff walls of the cave, but they are full of traces of water washing. Obviously, all this is the masterpiece of this unassuming underground river.
"If I'm not mistaken, the way to escape is to follow the flow of this underground river. "Wind and dust said darkly. Sure enough, although there were many forks in the road along the way, the road taken was indeed always with this river, and this was indeed the most important way to leave.
"Be careful, everyone, be ready to fight, we are already approaching the group of Spirit Eaters. Xuan Ye reminded a few people while leading the way.
Here, Fengchen figured out the situation and was thinking about whether to find a chance to break away from the team, when he suddenly heard this, he immediately suppressed this thought temporarily.
Although deep down, he didn't really believe that the Soul Devouring Rat could pose any threat to him. But the solemnity of Xuan Ye and the others cannot be faked.
"Let's take a look at the situation before deciding on what to do next. "Wind and dust said darkly.
Arriving here, Xuan Ye pressed the speed of his progress very slowly. However, seeing the cracks on the originally smooth stone wall that seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade, no one thought that there was anything wrong with this move.
Originally, the three of them still had some contempt for the Spirit Devouring Rat, but after seeing the cracks in these stone walls, anyone who had this thought again would be a real fool.
......
Suddenly, Xuan Ye, who was walking in front, stopped, and after carefully looking in a certain direction in front of him for a while, he made a gesture to everyone, and several people immediately fell to the ground.
Prior to this, it had been agreed that the response plan if it encountered the Soul Devouring Rat. Xuan Ye's gesture undoubtedly meant that he had discovered the Spirit Devouring Rat. However, due to the topography, Fengchen has not seen the appearance of this "abnormal Soul Devouring Rat" for the time being.
"This Soul Eater is approaching us, so get ready to settle the fight with as little movement as possible. After a while, Xuan Ye reminded in a whisper.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Fengchen to also see this "so-called Soul Devouring Rat", and he couldn't help but gasp. The reason why the word "so-called" was added was because Fengchen couldn't believe that the guy who appeared in front of him was really a Spirit Devouring Rat.
Ordinary Soul Devouring Rats are no more than a foot at most when they become adults, and this one has to be at least more than two meters. It's more appropriate to say it's not so much a rat-like monster than a monster-like monster.
When it got closer, they really saw its appearance clearly, and the three of them were even more shocked. The whole body was covered with purple fur, but the hairs stood up like the spikes of a hedgehog, as if they were covered with steel needles. On each of the four legs, three sharp claws like knives protruded. Two giant eyes shot a crimson glow, and the two razor-like fangs in their mouths.
The three of them had only one thought in their hearts at the moment: "What the fuck, is this the Spirit Devouring Rat?" But the four of Xuan Ye didn't show any surprise, obviously they knew it a long time ago.
Although the strength of the monster has little to do with the outside, as long as you are not stupid, I am afraid you can see that this guy in front of you is definitely not a master to mess with. If that's all it takes, no matter what, you can still fight. The key is that the hair on his body turned into spikes, you must know that at this moment, the three of them are all barehanded, do you want to touch them with your own hands? After a little thought, Fengchen immediately dispelled this idea.
Fortunately, there was only one figure in front of them, and the three of them made up their minds to let Xuan Ye and a few people with weapons in their hands strike first, just watch from the side, and never fight with this Spirit Devouring Rat until they were ready.
Xuan Ye and the others also thought of this, so Xuan Ye only discussed in a whisper with the old sheepskin and Ni Dao how to make a move. Luo Yin, who used claws, was also not in the battle because of the problem of weapons.
It didn't take long for the huge body of the Spirit Devouring Rat to be not far from everyone. Although due to the topography and the deliberate hiding of Fengchen and others, it did not find everyone's figure. But the danger of the darkness slowed it down. A pair of giant eyes scanned around, while constantly twitching their noses and sniffing the scent in the air, hoping to find the source of the dangerous aura.
Seeing this, Xuan Ye immediately beckoned the old sheepskin and Ni Dao to strike together. He knew that it might not be able to see everyone, but with the sensitivity of the Spirit Devouring Rat's sense of smell, it would definitely not be able to hide it. It is better to take the opportunity to take the initiative and strike first. The sudden appearance of the three Xuan Ye really scared this Soul Devouring Rat. But it's only for a moment, and the next moment it reacts. However, when it was ambushed by the three of Xuan Ye, its first reaction was not to run away, but to clearly show a sense of surprise, just like a hungry man seeing food, and rushed straight towards the three of Xuan Ye. In fact, it did treat Xuan Ye and the three of them as food.
It was only thirty or forty meters apart, and with the speed of Xuan Ye and the three of them, coupled with the Spirit Devouring Jin Rat coming towards them, the two sides quickly collided together
After the real fight, Xuan Ye and the three found that they were still small to each other, and it was difficult for the three of them to quickly win the battle together. Although the Soul Devouring Rat looks crazy, it is very cunning, with a degree of offense and defense, not at all like a low-level demonic beast with low intelligence.
"Damn, even a mutated monster can't be so outrageous. After another big knife slashing at the Spirit Devouring Rat was slapped away with its claws, Ni Dao scolded.
In one sentence, it expressed the doubts that the three of them questioned whether the monster in front of them was a spirit devouring rat. It's indeed a Soul Eater Rat, but it's a mutated Soul Eater Rat.
In fact, the phenomenon of mutation is not too rare among Warcraft. The mutated monsters may be stronger or weaker. Undoubtedly, the Soul Devouring Rat in front of him definitely belonged to the former. The reason why the three of them didn't think about it in this way was that the changes in this Spirit Devouring Rat were too great.
