Chapter 23 The Battle of Cats and Rats [3/3]
Chapter 23, the fierce battle between cats and rats
This underground corridor is naturally not as good as the secret passage. Zhang Shen had to squat down and walk quite difficultly without walking a few steps.
Rolling stone potatoes explored the way in the front and compacted the soil under their feet. There is a street lamp in the front, middle and back, so that people can see everything around them clearly.
Zhang Shen and the three of them are in the rear of the team, adjacent to Xie Dingguo.
"When you get here, you should have said it. What exactly is the treasure that attracts you? Zhang Shen asked Xie Dingguo. Previously, they shirked for various reasons, but at this time, it makes no sense to hide it.
Xie Dingguo looked at another person. The man nodded, and then he said, "I don't know if you have heard of [Life Source Crystal]?"
Ah?! Zhang Shen and the other two were stunned and exchanged their eyes, showing surprise to each other.
"Oh, it seems that you all know. It's really not simple!" The man looked back with a meaningful look. Zhang Shen vaguely remembered that his name was Du Jinqi.
Xie Dingguo was stunned and then smiled, "Since I know, it's easy to do. Our goal this time is [Life Source Crystal].
Immediately, Xie Dingguo told the context of the operation.
It turns out that everything has nothing to do with Zhang Shen and others.
On that day, in order to protect himself and Bu Lichen, Zhang Shen threw out the source of life crystal, causing the flying corpse and Liu Guodong to chase after him. However, the following events were quite dramatic.
The flying corpse got Yuanjing, but was accidentally plotted by Liu Guodong. Yuanjing got rid of her hand and was beaten into a serious injury and escaped. However, when Liu Guodong walked towards Yuanjing ecstatically, what was left to him was just a mouse hole and a mouse shadow reflected by the blurred green light...
Liu Guodong was so angry that he spewed blood on the spot and almost went crazy!
However, this person is really not simple. He has been defeated many times, recuperated in Fenghuo Town for a while, and began to go out to earn all kinds of contributions. Finally, a few days ago, he collected enough money to enter the Zen Garden and successfully condensed the seeds of life.
However, bad luck came again. He was about to pack up his clothes and go to Luoxia City with several "brothers". Zombies appeared and surrounded the beacon town. He was so angry that he smashed the wall with his fist and smashed blood.
The deadline of a month is not long. Although his task has been completed, how can his ambition endure not being able to become a planter?
So, he joined the first team to attack the zombies, but unfortunately failed, and then it was even worse.
He still did not give up and waited for the opportunity in the beacon town.
Until there was a rat chaos in the town, he flashed his inspiration and then told Du Jinqi about Yuanjing's appearance and his own guess. The latter recognized the true face of the "gem" and was lucky to meet such a large rat hole, so he took this action.
After listening to this, Zhang Shen and the others looked at each other and said nothing for a long time.
"This Liu Guodong is really..." Zhang Shen sympathized with him when he heard it.
"Bear by the way, Xie Dingguo and Mocai came to me specially. It should be that Liu Guodong gave me up. Oh, no! Looking at Du Jinqi's reaction, it's not like knowing that I exist in advance..." Zhang Shen was a little confused. However, if Liu Guodong really hides something, it will be fun.
According to his personality, he will certainly not be willing to hand over Yuanjing to others!
"The opportunities in life are really wonderful." Bu Lichen's low voice echoed in the corridor and spread to the ears of several people nearby. Xie Dingguo and Du Jinqi didn't understand, but Zhang Shen and Li Jing knew it.
If it hadn't been for the three of them going to Peian Village that day, everything would have been completely different today!
And the source crystal will appear in front of the three people again after making such a huge trouble in a big circle!
"Is it predestined to be with me..." Zhang Shen couldn't help but come up with such an idea that he even believed in himself.
The corridor was tortuous, and everyone's speed was very slow. It was not until he walked for more than 20 minutes that Zhang Shen saw the dense roots on both sides, which were the roots of iron-walled wood.
A group of 15 people have arrived below the city wall.
"I'm leaving the city soon. From now on, everyone should be quiet and don't make a sound." Du Jinqi and Mo in the front issued a warning, "In addition, if you want to summon plants, hurry up, otherwise it will be inconvenient to get to the back."
The moment the plant is summoned, there will be a relatively strong fluctuation of life power. In such a dark and dead corridor, it is likely to attract the attention of mutant mice.
Li Jing's heart appeared, holding a hot pepper in his hand. Bu Lichen summoned a "star fruit" that can launch a light yellow star-shaped attack with slight paralysis. Zhang Shen summoned a "sleeping coffee bean" that can release drowsy gases.
The plants summoned by others are similar, all of which are small in size, small attack range and not powerful. After all, this is in the tunnel dug out by the mouse, an explosive cherry goes down, the mouse is finished, and it is almost done.
Noting that Li Jing could summon two plants at a time, everyone's eyes suddenly changed, with all kinds of envy and hatred.
In addition to talent, only when the seed of life is condensed to a certain extent can double summons or even multiple summons be completed. The latter needs to take a lot of time. Obviously, Li Jing is not. He can only be the gifted type that makes most people grit their teeth.
Feeling the hot eyes, Zhang Shen felt that if it hadn't been for Du Jinqi's words to keep quiet, these people, including Du Jinqi, would have been brazen to dig the wall in front of him.
About ten meters past the city wall, everyone suddenly felt a sense of "suddenly cheerful".
The corridor has become much wider and taller.
At least, when people marched, they had to squat down and almost "use their limbs" to move forward, but now, as long as they pay attention not to meet their heads and bow slightly.
Everyone continued to move forward, but after a few minutes, the smell of blood came from light to thick.
The people in front made a move to prepare for the battle, and everyone was cautious and vigilant.
A distance ahead, the smell of blood has been so strong that it is greasy! Listen carefully, and you can even hear the slight bite screams!
Zhang Shen stretched out his palm and pressed it to the mud wall on one side, faintly feeling the trembling that came into the palm of his hand.
With the movement of the leader, the three lights went out, and everyone clung to the mud walls on both sides of the corridor and moved forward carefully with the faint light emitted by the summoned plants.
In less than two minutes, Zhang Shen felt that the soil under his feet had become sticky. He fixed his eyes and saw that it was black and red, which was suddenly a change caused by being soaked in the flowing blood!
It's close! Zhang Shen was so impressed that he made a "careful" action for the two women. Then he called back the "sleeping coffee beans" and put a small wooden knife across his chest. The two women acted the same as him, and they took back the "star fruit" and "hot pepper" one after another, and took out the wooden knife. For three people, in this situation, it is enough to have a "heart-to-heart green onion".
Others also took out cold weapons such as knives, swords and shields, but they did not cancel the same summoning as Zhang Shen. After all, plants are the best partners for "orthodox" planters.
A few more steps, someone stepped on the soft thing in front of him, staggered, and almost hit the wall.
Take a look, it's a corpse!
Look at its shape, it is the body of a mouse!
The wooden knife in Zhang Shen's hand was held tighter.
Meow! Meow! Meow!
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!!
Suddenly, the clear cat and mouse call replaced the previous vague movement and came to the ear.
The cry is loud, sad and tragic, full of crazy and desperate murderous intent, which is shocking.
Stepping on the mouse's body and blood mud, he turned a "bend", and the brightness suddenly increased. At the same time, an amazing scene of the terrible soul came into everyone's sight.
This is an underground void about half the size of a football field, more than two meters high, with four corridors connected to it.
At this moment, this wide underground hole is completely occupied by two creatures -
Cat and mouse!
On Zhang Shen's left hand side, a huge elephant-haired mouse lies on the ground, which is the leader of the mouse side.
There are more than a dozen leopard-sized mice around it, like loyal guards.
Again, I don't know how many ordinary mice make sharp "squeaky" sounds, rushing crazily to the attacking cats and launch suicide attacks, which looks quite tragic.
At the same time, new mice continue to pour into the two corridors on the side of the huge yellow-haired mice to participate in the war.
The number of cats is small, but there are also hundreds, led by a white cat the size of a white tiger.
Although the speed advantage of cats can't be exerted in the mouse group, their attack speed and attack strength are quite strong. Hundreds of mice are seriously injured or turned into corpses every second, which is far more efficient than the increasing speed of mice in the corridor.
The cry of cats and mice, the sound of flesh and blood being torn off the body, the sound of blood spraying, the sound of body collision... Countless sounds are mixed, filling the whole underground void and turning it into a numbing humming of the scalp.
The ground soaked into mud by blood, flying flesh, bones, internal organs, piles of corpses...
Everything in front of him was bloody, tragic, cruel and frightening, which gave a huge visual and psychological impact to the spiring people. Suddenly, his face changed dramatically, and a strong feeling of regret arose.
In the dozens of seconds of watching the battle, the dominant cats pushed the front forward half a meter, and the mouse's body was thrown into the sky like a rainstorm, and then fell on other living mice.
After a brief spiritual shock, fifteen people quietly retreated, even ignoring the disgusting mouse bodies on the ground, and tried their best to hide themselves and dared not expose any traces.
Although cats and mice are natural enemies for ten thousand years, and the battle is so fierce at this moment, it can be said that they are "unretired".
However, no one can guarantee that after detecting the invasion of human beings, they will continue to kill life and death with "tacit understanding", while sending some of their subordinates to kill the "alects" on the side.
