If it's just an ordinary beast, Nan Jiang reminded him, think about the kind of energy wave on their body, would an ordinary beast have that?
Even the Snow Wolf Clan is not like this.Ming Xia's heart rose again.If it's just a beast, if you don't have a smart mind, you may scatter if you can't find your prey.But if it weren't for ordinary beasts, the difference between beasts and demon beasts was that they had intelligence.A mere car and a steel plate may be able to resist a beast, but if it is replaced by a demon beast, Ming Xia will suddenly be unsure.The two of them looked up at the entrance of the cave together.In a matter of moments, there were already sounds above my head: the sound of the beasts running, the sound of sharp claws cutting across the steel plates.And a terrible howl faintly coming from farther away.Chapter 158 It's just that the instinct of food animals to be afraid of fire makes some of the underground rivers of the rats have a vertical distance of about ten meters from the ground, the river channel is about three meters wide and between two meters and four meters high, the arched cave roof and the cave walls on both sides still have traces of excavation, and the side of the river is neatly stacked with stones, forming a step several meters long and two feet wide under the stairs.It was built by the inhabitants in the early days for easy access to water.Judging from the marks on the top and bottom of the steps, in the early years, when the water level was at its deepest, the underground river would flood all the way up the stairs.However, as the years go by, the underground river may have been diverted, or it may have dried up long ago, and now the riverbed is devoid of water vapor at all, and only a pile of large and small pebbles remains.Ming Xia took advantage of the light of Tang Xun's debugging instrument to draw a few sketches, and listened to the dripping sound of the instrument on the side.The electronic screen brushed up, and the green lines spread out quickly on the screen, and then small red dots lit up one after another between the green lines, mixed with some not-so-bright yellow dots.Tang Xun adjusted the scale of the map, and pointed to the line extending to the north on the map with some surprise and said: This is the direction leading to the ancient city of Liangtai on the map left by Hu Lao, from our current position, it is to go this way.Tang Xun pointed to the front of the underground river, and there was a strange thing, when we got to the underground, the instrument showed that the magnetic field interference had disappeared.Nanjiang and Bi Lao glanced at each other.They tried, but since they had crossed the Bronze Pass, they had lost contact with the Branch, and once they had entered the ancient city, the magnetic field had disturbed and rendered all the instruments useless.When the interference disappeared here, the terrain scan corresponded to the map again, could it be that when the map was drawn, Hu Lao and the others were in the underground river?
If this is the case, Bi Lao's previous suspicions can be ruled out: the two ancient cities do not overlap in a geographical sense.This is the location of the ancient city of Liangtai marked by Hu Lao.Tang Xun pointed to a red triangle icon in the northeast direction, the ancient city of Liangtai is connected to the underground river of the ancient city of the river, and you can go through it here.My opinion is to go.Nanjiang said: These wolves don't know when they will disperse.Liu Enzheng looked at Bi Lao hesitantly.Bi Lao said: My opinion is also to go.Ming Xia felt that the situation in front of them was somewhat similar to when they went out on a mission at the North Peak, that time they were surrounded by snow wolves at the supply station, forcing them to take the secret passage in the mountains, but this time they changed to take the underground river.I don't know if there will be any danger in the river.However, when Nanjiang looked over, Ming Xia still nodded firmly.He also agreed to go, and staying with the wolves was not an option at all.When it was time to go on the road again, it became six teams at the head, two teams at the end, and the club team in the middle.Tang Xun took the instrument to take the lead, Qingqiu still maintained the appearance of a big fox, and walked behind with Ming Xia.As it stands, the most likely danger is the wolves of the ancient city.Therefore, Qingqiu, who has the strongest personal combat effectiveness, was left last.Qingqiu was a little proud of this, because Mingxia also praised him, saying that he was getting better and better.In fact, he himself understands that in an environment like an underground river, if the wolves really catch up, everyone shoots together, and there may still be wolves that have slipped through the net to pounce, but he sprayed it out, and it is estimated that a pile of them will be burned to ashes.After walking two kilometers along the underground channel, they entered a natural underground cavern from the artificially dug channel.When I got here, the riverbed beneath my feet slowly became wet.When the light shines through, you can see silt in the crevices of the pebbles and low bryophytes.Bi Lao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, he turned his head sideways, his eyes hesitant.Did you hear anything?
Everyone listened intently, and there seemed to be the sound of murmuring water from far away from the cave.The further they went, the more the sound of the water became: the sound of the smooth flow in the bay, the sound of crashing against the rocks, the small and light sound of the splash, and the sound of wet water dripping overhead, intertwined with the echoes coming from the cave, like a dense net that almost enveloped their hearing.The air began to get moist, and the smell became complicated.Ming Xia blinked blankly in the dark, and whispered to Nanjiang next to him; I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary, but I thought it smelled good.When it comes to smell, everyone is aware of it.The slightly fishy water vapor that filled the air, and I don't know when it mixed in with an inexplicable stench.The smell seems to have become stronger.Qingqiu frowned in disgust, it wasn't so stinky just now.Not far from them, something fell into the water with a thud.Then, like dumplings, something fell into the water one after another.Qingqiu was still recalling where he had smelled this smell, so he heard Liu Enzheng in front of him scolding, lights!
Nine o'clock!
What is the sound it makes?!
Mingxia and Nanjiang have been walking at the end, and the light of the emergency lights here is almost invisible, so as soon as the lights flicker, Mingxia immediately felt a little unable to open his eyes.However, the strange sound in his ears became clear, and he heard the sound of rustling coming from all directions, in the water, on the rock wall, and even on the roof of the cave.Ming Xia opened his eyes and saw a yellow-green light the size of a bean grain sweeping in the darkness like a tide.Mingxia's scalp is numb, is it a mouse?!
Nanjiang was also startled, and quickly reacted again.If Tang Xun's instrument showed a bunch of yellow dots, and it was a yellow dot with a particularly weak brightness, it would indeed not attract everyone's special attention.There are a lot of them, and under normal circumstances, the animals will walk around them.Tang Xun's voice came from the front, there was no energy fluctuation, it was an ordinary mouse.There is no alarm from the instrument.If it's really an ordinary mouse, it's long overdue to get out of here.However, instead of getting out, they surrounded them from all sides, as if they were cautiously waiting for the best opportunity to attack.Qingqiu muttered quietly, but because it was an ordinary mouse, he didn't call the police in advance.Although he has never eaten a mouse that grows in a wet river, he has eaten a lot of bamboo rats before, just looking at the size of the bamboo rat is fatter than this gray rat, which is off-topic.The key problem is that rats are a type of food in Qingqiu's opinion, and he never thought that these foods would attack them in turn.Ming Xia looked up and saw that there were countless rats on the rocks at the top of the cave, perhaps afraid of the light below, and they dodged slightly as the light moved, always leaving a blank space that was almost circular above the light.Ming Xia stared at the blank space for a while, and some suspected that they were actually dodging the dragon's tongue bow.Nan Jiang leaned into Ming Xia's ear and suppressed the voice and said: These rats are wrong, looking at their size and eyes, ordinary mice will not look like this, even if they are border mice.Ming Xia doesn't feel that he has a dense phobia, but the first time he saw so many mice in his life, he would feel disgusting as a person, so he naturally wouldn't look at it very carefully.After being reminded by Nanjiang, he noticed that these rats were indeed not quite the same as the ones he had seen before.First of all, they are relatively large, and all of them are very fat, and secondly, their coat color is very strange, not the usual black, white and gray, but mottled gray-yellow.Almost every rat has ulcers on its body.I don't know if this is the reason, but instead of seeing the lights or the cautious fear of biological instinct when they encounter large animals, they have a kind of desperate ferocity after seeing their prey.Ming Xia thought to himself, maybe it's not the prey, but the food.Just like that, the rat swarm has already pounced overwhelmingly.As soon as Qingqiu spewed out the fire, a piece of rats would be burned to ashes, and the black shadows squeaked and scattered in all directions, but the fire was a little smaller, and they quickly gathered and tirelessly pounced again.Those who climbed on the top of the cave even jumped directly on them and bit them, as if they had forgotten their instinct to be afraid of light and people.Ming Xia panted and ran forward with Nanjiang, and when he turned his head, he saw a mouse with festering skin and flesh pounced towards him from mid-air with its teeth and claws, and the fangs that protruded the corners of his mouth seemed to be stained with a thin layer of blood in the passing light.It was moving too fast, and Ming Xia didn't have time to dodge before he saw that in the blink of an eye, it had already pounced on top of him, and then pounced on the side of his shoulder in an extremely distorted position.The suspicions in Ming Xia's heart were confirmed again.The rat had apparently changed his mind when he had pounced on him, so he tried his best to adjust the direction of his progress in mid-air to avoid pounce on him, and what was different from him was the dragon's tongue bow.Ming Xia paid close attention to observe, and sure enough, the rats rushed to the others one after another, but none of them landed on him, and some even jumped very close to him before temporarily changing directions.Occasionally, a few of them could not restrain their hands and feet, and they also quickly flicked their paws on him and jumped away, as if they had radiation on him, and getting close would make them feel scared.Ming Xia untied the bow bag and released the dragon tongue bow.The Dragon's Tongue Bow emitted a faint white light in the dim cavern, the soft light was not dazzling, but it seemed to carry some kind of mysterious magic, and wherever it appeared, the rat colony would quickly retreat from this place.And in the place where the dragon's tongue bow could not radiate, the rats rushed up one by one, even with the lighter of Qingqiu, which kept spewing fire, the attack of the rat swarm was still difficult to parry, and many people were scratched on their exposed skin.The underground cave space is limited, and the personnel are too dense, Qingqiu is afraid that he will hurt his own people, so he only dares to set fire to small groups.Even so, the firelight still has a natural suppression of the rats.When they encounter a fire, they will dodge and wait for the fire to go out before throwing themselves up.Around them, rat carcasses piled higher and higher, and the stench of festering flesh and burnt flesh mixed together, and the stench of smoking, but the rats continued to pour out from every corner.Li leisurely tore off a mouse from his neck with a hiss, slammed it the ground, grabbed the collar and hurriedly wiped a handful of blood on his neck, I don't know if it's poisonous, damn, it won't bring the plague.Qingqiu dragged Li Youran's trousers back and rolled to the back!
It's in the way!
Li Youran, the personnel retreated, and Qingqiu erupted with a mouthful of fire.The dense swarm of rats suddenly emptied a large area, and many rats with sparks on their fur squeaked and scurried wildly.The animal's instinct to be afraid of fire makes the rats a little restless.But more rats chased them from the water on the corpses of their companions.Chapter 159: Crime deserves it, in front of Jiuxiao, who dares to claim to be lacking in virtue?
Qingqiu roared, and red fire flashed around him.There was a commotion in the rat colony, and those who pounced on them and fought were visibly beginning to shrink.The fire around Qingqiu was even stronger, reflecting his white hair into a bright orange red.From a distance, it looks like the big fox is on fire.Ming Xia couldn't help but raise his hand to block his eyes.He felt that the firelight on Qingqiu's body gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling, no, it wasn't uncomfortable, but the firelight seemed to have radiation, which made his body warm up from the inside out.He had the feeling of going into the microwave, and if the temperature rose again, he would be cooked.Then he heard someone next to him shouting in surprise, Ming Xia?!
Ming Xia opened his eyes and felt that the firelight on Qingqiu's body had burned his entire vision red, and the hand holding the dragon tongue bow seemed to glow, and the white bow had turned a strange blood red at this moment.After a moment of stalemate, the rats began to disperse hesitantly.The lamppost of the emergency light shone towards him, stabbing Mingxia's eyeballs.In a dizzying red light, he saw Qingqiu rushing towards him with a red light, his fur was a little messy, and his beautiful fox eyes looked pitiful because they were full of panic, which made him feel a little distressed.Ming Xia felt that Qingqiu must have never seen so many mice, think about what it was like to suddenly jump up and bite the roast chicken on the plate, his little fox must have been frightened!
Ming Xia endured his dizziness and hugged the big fox, and after picking it up, he shook it twice, don't be afraid, good.Qingqiu, huh?!
Ming Xia took a few steps forward with his beloved big fox, and suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, Qingqiu was half frightened to death by his movements, and jumped out of his arms in a hurry, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
I can't get up next summer.He himself was stupid, why didn't he react at all a few minutes ago, and he actually hugged the big fox weighing more than eighty kilograms easily?!
Are you possessed by a youkai?!
Ming Xia looked at his hand, looked up at Qingqiu a little blankly, I picked you up just now?
Qingqiu nodded stupidly, and then showed a shocked expression.Ming Xia looked at the dragon tongue bow in his hand again, it was not red, obviously he was hallucinating just now.Nanjiang caught up from behind, stretched out his hand to help him up, and then checked up and down.He found a circle of marks similar to burns in Ming Xia's palm.This was caused by the sudden collision of the energy in his body with the energy contained in the Dragon Tongue Bow.In other words, the surging energy fluctuations in Ming Xia's body triggered the alarm system of the dragon tongue bow, which forcibly absorbed the energy radiated by Ming Xia and pushed back the energy that it could not absorb.Ming Xia obviously didn't realize what was going on, but the people around him noticed it, everyone's reaction was different, Bi Lao was very pleased, Liu En was envious of his mother's second team, which was originally stronger than their sixth team, and now he had awakened a great god.Tu Qing's mood is more complicated, because he wants to respect Ming Xia's ambition and is worried about his safety.At the same time, he was also worried about the safety of himself and Mingming.If Ming Xia is a demon hunter, then Ming Ming has a high chance of awakening, what should he do then?
Are both husband and wife going to hunt demons?!
Ming Xia was dizzy and leaned on Nanjiang's arms, his whole body was sore, and there was a feeling of detachment, I just seemed to have suddenly become stronger Nanjiang nodded calmly, but the corners of his mouth raised a pleasant arc.Because the underground cave was dimly lit, he could see it clearly, just now, a red light appeared behind Ming Xia's shadow, although it was not there in a flash, but it was enough for him to see clearly that it was the shape of a red bird.Liu Enzheng jealously began to assign people to count the situation of each team, count the number of injured, and then check the direction again.The symptoms of prostration in the next summer slowly improved, and the calm state also returned.He knew what might have happened, but now was clearly not the time to talk about it.He could see from Nanjiang's reaction that this was not a bad thing, and for now, it was enough.Other things can be discussed when you leave this place.The rats retreated, but not far, huddled in the shadows, watching the humans pass by their territory.Ming Xia didn't know what to say about what happened to them, because theoretically this war broke out because they broke into the territory of the rats.Humans cautiously moved forward, while the rats chose to die in the face of heavy losses.Two hours later, they came across a second shaft-style water intake room.
