Chapter 16: Fighting Giant Rats in the Night
The night is getting deeper, the night wind is getting cooler and cooler, and the wind is howling incessantly.
Last night, Lu Bo escaped from the capital of Xu State overnight with Su Rongrong who was stunned by the explosion, and fled into this barren grassland early in the morning, so tonight is the first night of the down-and-out two in the barren grassland, and it is also the first time that Su Rongrong spends the night in a completely unfamiliar wilderness.
At present, both of them are dressed in robes, and they have a full stomach, and their bodies are very warm, but their mental states are diametrically opposite.
Su Rongrong was injured, and she had suffered a lot in the past two days, unable to bear the drowsiness of her body and drowsy.
Lu Bo is a killer, and he is a small and successful physical cultivator, and now his physical condition has recovered a little, but he is not easy to be sleepy.
So the two agreed, Su Rongrong sleeped, Lu Bo kept vigil, if the bonfire was about to go out, or if something special happened, Lu Bo would call Su Rongrong up again to find a way. Under the division of labor and cooperation, Su Rongrong only got up to add withered grass to the bonfire twice, and the two rested quite peacefully.
At about two o'clock in the morning, the sound of the barren grass gradually increased.
Many nocturnal monsters begin to get excited at this time, and their predatory actions are even more daring. Lu Bo faintly had a bad premonition, carefully discerning the movements around him, and taking strict precautions.
There was more and more noise in the grass, and there was a faint tendency to gather around the campfire.
Lu Bo didn't hesitate anymore and shouted: "Miss Su, hurry up!
Su Rongrong heard Lu Bo's cry for the third time tonight, woke up slowly, and before he could hear what he shouted, he spontaneously went to hold the withered grass and burn the bonfire. However, he didn't take two steps before he met a pair of familiar little red eyes.
Su Rongrong was a spirit, and she woke up half from a drowsiness, and then took a closer look, God, isn't this the giant rat that attacked her during the day!
Lu Bo's voice sounded at the right time: "There are forty-eight in total, all in the south, east, and west. ”
As soon as Su Rongrong shook off the withered grass, he rushed to the side of the bonfire with his legs drawn, and looked around vigilantly. Sure enough, at the edge of this clearing, dozens of pairs of small red eyes hid in the half-human-tall wild grass, surrounding them both.
Perhaps due to the beast's hidden nature, the rats did not step into the clearing, although they were ready to move.
Su Rongrong couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, in order to make clothes and maintain the bonfire, she cut a lot of dry grass and opened up a large open space, otherwise these giant rats might have rushed directly to her.
Su Rongrong took out a long dead branch from the bonfire, wrapped it around the withered grass a few times, made a simple torch and held it in his left hand, and drew the dagger from his waist in his right hand, and approached the edge of the clearing little by little.
She carefully waved the torch at a pair of red eyes, and there was a sound of sooting, and the red eyes seemed to retreat a little.
Su Rongrong is very happy, it seems that the beast nature of being afraid of fire, these giant rats also have it!
She walked slowly along the edge of the clearing, waving her torches and uttering meaningless shouts in her mouth, and sure enough, there was a commotion among the rats in the grass, and it seemed that they had really retreated collectively.
Unfortunately, the withered grass is not resistant to burning, and after a while, the huge torch is only a red dead branch, which has no deterrent effect, and Su Rongrong has to go back and wrap it with new dry grass.
However, Lu Bo shook his head disappreciatively, and his phoenix eyes rolled and persuaded: "Miss Su, this will only anger them." ”
Su Rongrong was stunned, shouldn't he use fire to scare the invading nocturnal beasts?
Lu Bo looked at the growing crowd of rats on the edge of the clearing, pursed his lips and continued: "Although the red-eyed giant rats are afraid of fire, they will be excited by red objects, and if you stimulate them any more, they may go crazy. ”
Su Rongrong was startled, it turned out that this thing was called the Red Eye Giant Rat, and it was not the same as the habits of ordinary beasts. Thinking so, Su Rongrong threw the dead branch back into the bonfire almost like a hot potato, and stood helplessly.
Lu Bo patiently suggested to her: "Miss Su, this number of red-eyed giant rats, you may not be able to deal with it with just one dagger, try to use spells to repel them." ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Su Rongrong with a little worry, although he heard that she was an immortal cultivator, he hadn't seen her cast any spells, and she had also been scared and screamed by a red-eyed giant rat during the day, so she wouldn't repeat the same mistake now, right?
Sure enough, bad premonitions are always easy to fulfill, Su Rongrong looked at Lu Bo pitifully, and honestly explained: "I can't use spells." ”
Lu Bo's heart sank for a moment, and he asked, "Why?"
Su Rongrong was asked, she can't say that she is just a mortal who eats on the game system, right? After racking her brains and thinking for a while, Su Rongrong made a reasonably acceptable lie: "In order to resist the fire group of arrows, I used a secret technique, and now I have a backlash, and I can't use spiritual power and divine sense." ”
After saying that, Su Rongrong gave herself a thumbs up, she was so witty, so she could even explain why she couldn't open the storage bag!
You must know that before she wore it, there was a beautiful embroidered storage bag hanging from her belt. Although this thing is not in the backpack panel of Su Rongrong, it will definitely not be just a decoration, it must contain the belongings of the velvet, but it is a pity that the Su Rongrong that is still in the stage of inducing qi into the body cannot be opened at all.
Although Lu Bo didn't ask her why she didn't take anything from the storage bag when she was so down, now it's okay, just one sentence can erase the suspicion and settle it once and for all.
Sure enough, Lu Bo frowned his good-looking long eyebrows, and believed it without much questioning.
In his opinion, if he dared to block the third-order talisman without his life, he would not believe that she was unprepared, not to mention the mystery of the collarbone that was broken and reorganized.
If such a powerful secret technique really backfires, it is estimated that not only spiritual power and divine sense, but also physical energy will also be greatly reduced, right? This explains why the three young men of the dignified town and country are so powerless.
After thinking about it, Lu Bo added another item in his heart: Maybe even his IQ has been reduced.
So Lu Bo asked Su Rongrong again with conviction: "How long will it be backfired?"
Su Rongrong was stunned, thought for a long time, and replied: "I don't know." "Her physical condition, if she wants to return to the state before Rong'er was eaten by the secret arts, at least she will get the late stage of Qi training, right? But when she will be able to cultivate to the late stage of Qi training, it is really difficult to say.
Lu Bo listened to such an ambiguous answer, and then thought that he might have to get along with such an unintelligent guy for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh melancholy in his heart, and said bluntly: "Miss Su, it can't go on like this." Lu has a proposal, you might as well try it. ”
Su Rongrong looked at Lu Bo, who was lying on the ground motionless, but his eyes were clear, and stretched his palm forward: "Please speak." ”
Lu Bo showed a faint smile: "Miss Su, Lu has a few hidden weapons on his body that can be used without spiritual power, as well as poison." ”
Su Rongrong's eyes lit up.
Lu Bo continued: "However, although the red-eyed giant rat is only a first-order demon beast, its spiritual intelligence is not high, but its vigilance is very heavy, and I am afraid that it will not approach easily. ”
Su Rongrong bled his cheeks and thought for a while, then leaned down to discuss quietly with Lu Bo for a while, and after a while, both of them showed a tacit smile.
Immediately, Su Rongrong carefully took out a few things from Lu Bo's sleeve robe, in front of his chest, on the back of his neck, and on his belt, and quietly stuffed them into his sleeve robe.
Surong Rong is very stealthy, and in her home planet, the rat is a very alert animal that is said to "detect harmful food".
And the red-eyed giant rats of this world, just by looking at the fact that they surrounded this place and did not act rashly, but carefully watched to find the weaknesses of the two, it can be seen that they are not brainless.
Instead of fighting hard, it is better to outwit.
