Chapter 21: Rodent Infestation
Looking at the back of Wang Yuanzheng walking towards Wang Ze's house, Tang Yun always felt a little sad, silently praised him in his heart, and then prayed for three seconds, hoping that he would not be played to death by the two bear children.
Seeing that Wang Yuanzheng was walking away, Wang Zishan shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up, if you don't leave, we won't be able to leave if those two little ancestors catch up." With that, he turned around and ran without looking back, and disappeared into the snowy jungle in a few breaths.
Tang Yun stayed comfortably on Wang Zishan's shoulders, watching his mount run sweating profusely and panting like a cow, he suddenly had a sense of being upgraded to a higher creature, treating humans as mounts.
Wangjia Village is more than ten kilometers away from the iron ore mine, and it is all mountain roads, and there is a layer of snow on the road that is not too thin. They set out at noon and arrived in the evening when the sun went down, which took them more than five hours.
The iron mine was located at the foot of a small hill, and all the trees around it had been cut down, and a thick log fence enclosed the entrance to the mine, forming a strong camp, and a torch was placed a few meters away from the fence, illuminating the surroundings, and from time to time some archers with bows and arrows patrolled behind the fence.
The arrival of a few people from Wang Zishan caused a burst of nervousness among the inspectors, judging from their reactions, they should have encountered a lot of things during this time, giving people the feeling that they have some taste of grass and trees.
"Who is it?" Before Wang Zishan and the others approached, someone on the side asked loudly.
Wang Zishan glanced at the wooden bow that had been set up with arrows under the torch opposite, and he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly shouted: "It's us, I'm Wang Zishan!"
Hearing his voice, the other side obviously relaxed, lowered the bow and arrow in his hand, and shouted: "It's Zishan and a few of their boys have arrived, open the door quickly, grandma's ......"
Seeing the gate of the camp opposite, Wang Zishan hurriedly ran in with people.
As soon as he walked into the camp, Wang Zishan heard an unpleasant "squeak" sound coming from the mine not far away, in addition to the sound of ping-pong, the whole camp gave people a feeling of black miasma.
Wang Zishan looked left and right, and found a man in his fifties, wearing burlap, standing not far from the mine, with a depressed look on his face, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Uncle Kang, what's going on?"
The man turned his head to look at Wang Zishan, sighed and said, "Some time ago, we dug through an underground hole, and as a result, thousands of rats ran into our mine from that hole, and now it is almost a sea of rats......
"Mouse?" Wang Zishan was a little disappreciative, pointed to Tang Yun lying on his shoulder and said: "I brought a big black snake this time, no matter how many rats he has, if he encounters this rat natural enemy, he can't eat it with a snake!"
Listening to this kid's words, Tang Yun directly rolled his eyes, slid off him, and quickly moved away from this mine. If it was three or five rats, he would be able to deal with them, and thousands of rats, in less than a minute, he would have to turn into feces in the stomach of the rats.
What's more, under his sense of smell, which is far more sensitive than that of humans, the mine itself is not just a mouse, there are other creatures, and that creature is his natural enemy.
Just as Wang Zishan was talking to the old man, four men wrapped in thick leather ran out of the mine, and when he saw these people from a distance, Tang Yun was so shocked that he didn't close his mouth.
These people are full of mice, densely packed with at least hundreds, these rats "squeak" and keep gnawing on the leather, but fortunately a few people are more fully prepared, the leather wrapped in the body is very tough, even if the bite force of these mice is amazing, they can't bite through for a while.
A few people ran out of the mine, and their bodies immediately shook, and in a short time they shook off all the rats.
The rats that fell to the ground saw that the surrounding environment had changed, and they no longer had the arrogance to fight with people before, and they were scurrying around in panic one by one.
When biting to death a mouse that rushed to him in a panic, Tang Yun was slightly stunned, looked at the mouse corpse in front of him, smelled the faint blue crystal breath emanating from the corpse, hesitated slightly, and swallowed the mouse in one gulp.
In recent days, Tang Yun has not worried about eating and drinking, except for playing with Wang Ziting and Wang Ziyu, the two bear children, all day long, he is cultivating hard, plus after he has condensed the five internal organs, the purity of his true qi has been much purer than before, which has allowed him to condense most of the tricks in his stomach in a short period of time, and only a few tricks that need to be condensed out of thin air due to the structure of his body are still being raised with true temperature.
It is precisely because of the condensation of the stomach that he digests food much faster, and after swallowing a whole mouse, the stomach gurgles for a while, and then digests a small half. As the rat's flesh was digested, the familiar searing energy emanated from his stomach and spread towards his body.
Sensing the appearance of this scorching energy, Tang Yun's heart suddenly became pleasantly surprised, and he quickly ran his true qi to absorb and refine this scorching energy.
After refining this energy, Tang Yun found that his true qi only increased by a faint trace that was almost imperceptible, and the energy contained in this mouse's body was too little, compared to that kind of blue crystal, I am afraid that it was not one ten-thousandth of the amount.
But......
Tang Yun looked at the mine cave with burning eyes, the energy contained in the flesh and blood of a rat was very small, but now there were thousands of mice in this mine cave, if he could eat them all, the true qi replenished by that kind of scorching energy, coupled with the true qi of food qi and blood refining, I am afraid that he would be able to complete the condensation of all the six internal organs!
The heart is in YY, the snake hyacinth unconsciously spit out, seeing the black-haired mouse not far away sneakily running to return to the mine, subconsciously pounced, bitten it to death, swallowed the stomach.
Although ordinary snakes have a strong digestive ability, they do not digest food quickly, and many snakes and pythons often take a long time to digest after eating a full meal.
However, these are not big problems for Tang Yun, as all the five internal organs in his body are condensed, his body becomes stronger and stronger day by day, and the powerful heart is sending blood to every part of his body every moment, making his body stronger every day.
This kind of strengthening is an all-round strengthening inside and outside, not only the musculoskeletal muscles of the body, but also the intestines and stomach, which have not been cultivated, and the strengthening of these organs also makes him digest food countless times faster than ordinary snakes.
The two mice went down to their stomachs, and it only took half an hour to digest it cleanly, and to his surprise, the qi and blood provided by the two mice for him were unexpectedly abundant, and in terms of quantity, it was almost comparable to a meter-long rhubarb eel.
Urging the secret method to refine qi and blood once, Tang Yun once again looked at the mine with blazing eyes, there are countless big rats in it, these are all good food!
Tang Yun's body moved, and he quickly slid to the entrance of the mine, poking his head to look inside.
Now the mine is full of rats, the miners inside have been withdrawn, the torches and other lighting tools that were originally placed have all been extinguished, and the whole mine looks black. Human beings naturally can't see anything in such an environment, but Tang Yun, as a snake, naturally doesn't see things with his eyes alone.
Under the thermal sensing vision, Tang Yun clearly sensed that there were dense heat sources running in the dark mine, and the heat emitted by these heat sources was stronger than that of normal mice, and it could be seen that the rats in this mine were stronger than ordinary mice.
Sensing the dense heat source in the mine, Tang Yun gasped, although he didn't have a dense phobia, but so many rats were crowded together, that scene, no matter how bold you are, you will get furious when you see it, if these guys really rush out of the hole, then except for him who can run away with the advantage of speed, the rest of the people here have only a dead end.
Standing at the entrance of the cave and thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a way to eliminate this group of rats, Tang Yun simply climbed to the side of Wang Zishan, wanting to see if they had any way.
When Tang Yun passed, the few people who came out of the mine were dancing and describing the spectacular scene of the rat plague inside to the big guys, and it could be seen that the rats inside were like a tide of rats, but they were scared a lot.
When they had finished, one of the young men asked, "What are we going to do now?" Why don't you go and bring some cats and eat the mice?"
As soon as his words fell, someone retorted: "Are you a tease sent by mice? A cat can deal with a dozen or dozens of mice, but which cat have you ever seen that can deal with a group of mice? Maybe the cat will be eaten by the rats before a few mice are killed." β
"Yes, there are too many rats, even the natural enemies of rats don't necessarily dare to provoke them, don't you dare to go in if you don't see the big black snake!" The man's words were immediately approved by many people, and Tang Yun, who was lying on the ground with an innocent face, turned into evidence and was brought forward.
Being made fuss by these people, the man was immediately unhappy, and asked, "Then what do you say? Find some cats to come over, and we can kill some mice, otherwise we can only watch." β
Then someone said, "Why don't we poison the arsenicβ and put it in the food, and throw it into the hole, and poison the rats." β
"How many can you poison? Besides, you think rats have the same IQ as you? People are smart, and after poisoning a few of them, no rats will be fooled at all." β
All of a sudden, you have an idea, I have an idea, and we discussed it in a chaotic manner.
