486 Chapter 486 Siguniang Mountain (46)
After the big mouse passed me by, the sound of "chirping" sounded in the passage behind us. What caused such a noise was obviously the rats in this passage. They seemed to have come out of their holes one after another.

Their claws slapped on the ground, and the sound was quite heavy. These guys were not light. The sound also included the "swish, swish" sound of their long and big tails scratching the ground. It was loud. From time to time, the tail would slap the ground a few times, like the "pop" sound of a whip. It felt like some big rats were jumping down from a slightly higher place.

They ran and jumped in groups, chasing us in the direction we were going. We also accelerated our pace and left here. After walking for a while, their voices weakened.

However, from time to time, there will still be a few sporadic ones that suddenly jump out from different directions and bump into us, and then pass us by.

We chased their figures with flashlights, but we could only see brown-gray shadows flashing past. Their running speed proved that they were indeed not ordinary mice. They did not attack us, nor did they stay. ,

As if summoned by something, they ran towards the direction behind us, as if they were gathering to "return to the team".

At this time, sister Liyue rushed forward. She handed over the new torches that had been wrapped in her waterproof backpack, gave one to Zhang Qiling and Bai Hao each and said, "Let's light a fire, rats in this place." I'm generally afraid of light and heat, so I hope it can be somewhat effective, but I can't drive them away, so at least this can make it a little brighter."

Bai Hao put the mouse-repelling aromatherapy oil and some of the locating markers into the pocket that was easiest to find on his body, took the torch from Li Yue with one hand, and stuffed the remaining locating markers into Li Yue's hand with the other hand.

When Li Yue saw it was a positioning mark, she immediately put it away in her pocket, which was convenient for her to take out. Then she took another torch and handed it to me. However, I waved my hand to my sister, and then gently put my hand in front of me. Qing Qing, I made an action like striking a match, and waved my finger upwards, and a small flame stood on my fingertips. I said, "Sister, this is more convenient for me."

Liyue looked at Xiaoxun and felt that letting the relatively short Xiaoxun hold a large torch that was tens of centimeters long might actually affect her performance in dealing with difficulties, so she said: "Okay. "She left this torch to herself. She also gave several new torches to Zhang Rishan for him to distribute to others.

Those who had torches quickly lit the torches in their hands. I stopped my brothers and sisters and signaled them that I would light their torches.

I waved my fingers towards their torches, drew a circle in front of each torch head, and used the flames of the Phoenix Power to light the torch heads with spiritual fire. I said to them: "This fire Solid skin.”

The torches lit up one after another, and the firelight instantly illuminated the passage. We immediately saw that right in front of us, a guy with sly eyebrows and rat-like eyes screamed "squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak" and bowed at our team. He put his body in a posture ready to pounce on us and was quite close to me.

Brother Bai Hao said: "Don't make it scream. Other mice may hear it and rush over faster."

Qi Tiezui lowered his voice and said nervously: "What kind of food does this mouse eat in this hole to feed himself such a big man?"

Bai Hao said: "For this reason, it can only eat meat. Maybe they also eat the corpses here."

Qi Tiezui looked at the mouse and said, "This one looks bigger than a rabbit."

I looked at it and said, "It should be about the same as an adult cat, weighing about ten pounds. The teeth of this mouse are not small, so the bite force may be very strong."

Qi Tiezui said in a questioning tone: "Then...it's going to go down a few times..."

I sighed, thought for a moment and said: "If you bite a few bites from this fang, you will be completely changed beyond recognition. And its claws are thin and long. It must be a bloody person to scratch people. There are no traces on this thing." It must be poisonous, but it must contain a lot of germs, but with good protection, the energy of one big rat shouldn't be enough to kill a person, but too many will not."

The giant rat held its head high and opened its pointed mouth with a ferocious expression. All four stained yellow teeth were exposed, especially the two long and thick lower teeth, which made it bite If you go down, you will be able to chew a large piece of meat for it.

I paused for a moment, thinking about knowing myself and my enemy. Is this the only way to get rid of me?
I saw the mouse pressing its sharp claws to the ground, arching its body, kicking hard with its hind feet, and jumped over with its teeth and claws spread.

When it was making preparations, I had gathered a spiritual string at my fingertips. As soon as it jumped up, the end of the rope in my hand was thrown over, and with a flick of my arm, the rope leaped out. The head instantly twisted and split into three smaller strands of double red rope. One strand tied up the mouse's mouth as fast as lightning, one strand wrapped around its two front legs, and the other wrapped around its two front legs. Its two hind legs.

I shook the main rope in my hand a few times, and the trapped mouse on the opposite side rolled in mid-air. The main rope made a circle around its body and tied its four legs together. I pulled it gently, and the mouse flew towards me in a ball.

I was ready to catch it, but when it was about to fly in front of me, I suddenly wanted to dodge, because when I saw it up close, the rat looked even more ferocious, dirty and smelly, and I couldn't stand it at all. Don't want to catch it.

Zhang Qiling and Bai Hao were standing to the left and right of the girl. They both knew the little girl well. If they saw a little monster like this charging towards them, she would definitely avoid it reflexively. Seeing that she had already exposed her face Embarrassed, the two of them took action separately.

Bai Hao pulled Xiaoxun sideways to avoid the big rat that swung in front of him. Zhang Qiling grabbed the spiritual power rope in her hand and carried the tied big rat in his hand. They cooperated perfectly.

The tied mouse stopped right in front of me. Thanks to the help of my brothers, who helped me solve the problem when I was hesitating whether to catch the mouse or not. I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although my brother was carrying it, and the mouse was tied as solidly as a rice dumpling by me, it definitely couldn't touch me, but I couldn't help but shrink back and look at it with a disgusted expression.

Brother Bai Hao said "yes" and said, "It looks a little wild, this one is quite fat."

Li Yue said: "While those behind us haven't caught up yet, let's quickly take a look at the situation in front and find a place where we can take shelter."

The mouse that Zhang Qiling was carrying was almost finished observing. Bai Hao said to him, "Do you still have any use for this guy? Why don't you leave it to me?"

When Zhang Qiling looked away from the mouse and turned to stare at the road ahead, Bai Hao took the mouse and carried it in his hand.I looked at the mouse in his hand and asked him, "You still have this with you."

Brother Bai Hao said, "We've caught them all."

Then he just gave me a wink.

The further you go in, the wider the passage becomes, and it looks less and less like it has been artificially repaired.

There are still small round holes on the lower part of the cave wall, but they are not so densely distributed. There are some large black holes that are half as high as a person or even as tall as a person.

There were more and more big holes like this, and we soon arrived at a place with multiple cave entrances that needed to be chosen. In order to quickly find the entrance to the cave, Brother Bai Hao and Sister Liyue also followed them to check the conditions of those holes. This cave Some are just shallow caves, some are dead ends, and some are connected.

Brother Bai Hao and Sister Liyue took my positioning marker with them. They could quickly explore the situation inside the cave and quickly selected the hole that was most likely to be the way out.

As we were about to set off, there was another roar of rats running behind us. The rats were already chasing us. I only heard someone shouting, "Go, go, go." We rushed into the selected target cave.

The rats swarmed over like billowing clouds of yellow smoke and soon caught up to the end of the line.

We ran in front, and the mice chased behind us. The mice roared and squeaked extremely noisily, as if they were shouting at us: "Brothers, dinner is ready!"

The people at the end of the team were already being bitten by the rats that rushed up first. They shook off the rats as they ran. If they couldn't shake them off, they would hit them with the tools in their hands.

The person at the end of the team stumbled into the hole, and a large number of mice also came to the entrance of the hole. You squeezed me and I squeezed you, "squeaking" and screaming as they crawled in.

The cave is not as spacious as the outside. There is more space for one person to walk in, but it is a bit crowded for two people to walk together.

The stone wall here is just a large, rugged crack in the mountain. The bottom is okay, but the shape above is a bit distorted, which is not very friendly to tall people. In some places, it suddenly becomes a little shorter, so tall people are a little bent. Go forward.

There are some gravels under our feet. The stones are not small, but the surface is smooth and the pile is relatively flat. It is easy to walk, but this environment still slows down our progress a lot.

The big rats were crowded at the entrance of the hole, and they could only squeeze in little by little. They seemed to be even more happy when they screamed anxiously.

At this moment, the big rats with fast legs had squeezed into the hole. They ran very fast, and soon there were big rats under our feet that rushed over the stumbling blocks.

Several people were immediately tripped and bumped into the mountain wall. Before they could stand still, mice pounced on them. As soon as one of them got away, other mice pounced on them.

These rats would also step on the bulges and ravines on the mountain wall to run forward from waist high, and some people's backs, shoulders or heads would be kicked around by them.

The big rat jumped in front of me like this. It was less than half a meter away from me, and it pounced on my head. My brother had to be quick and thrust two fingers into it, clamping the rat's neck. He was thrown out.

As soon as a crisis was resolved, I suddenly felt like there were a pair of eyes staring at me from behind. I immediately filled my fingers with fire spirit, turned around, and stabbed them in the back.

I saw that I had clamped something very hard, which was the big fangs of a big rat that was trying to bite me with its mouth wide open. The fire burned it so hard that it was fluttering wildly, and it was almost impossible to clamp it with two fingers.

It was caught, and the place where I clamped it was not convenient for me to throw it out, so I heard Brother Bai Hao shout: "Let go."

I immediately raised my hand, and the moment I raised my hand, a big hand picked up the clothes behind me and pulled me back. The torch head in Bai Hao's hand also poked the mouse in the face with a "pop" sound, and the mouse instantly changed. It turned into a big fireball and fell to the ground with a few "squeaks". The smell of roasted mice immediately spread in the passage.

My brother said to me: "Let's go." He picked me up and continued moving forward.

Bai Hao glanced behind him. Li Yue and the people behind him were rushing over. Bai Hao immediately waved his hand, took back the fire that burned the rat and returned it to the torch. A rat corpse on the ground was smoking and burnt to black. He He shouted to the back: "Everyone, follow quickly."

We continued to walk in the passage, and soon there were rats coming over. After we beat the rats several times, we felt that the rats were not chasing us from behind, nor were they all coming from the mountain walls on both sides, but they were already obvious. It jumped from the direction above the head.

We looked up, and the sight really stunned me. No wonder the mice would fall like rain. Those mice crawled a lot above the head without knowing it, and they walked along the edge of the cracks in the stone wall. Walking on flat ground is normal.

I said: "They are planning to suffocate us in the cracks."

Brother Bai Hao said: "Judging from their numbers and strategies, maybe they can really succeed."

I immediately said: "Why?"
