The iron chain in my hand swept across and hit dozens of gray rats to death under the iron chain.
But the remaining gray mice are gathering more and more. The iron chain in my hand had no choice but to slowly reduce the range of the iron chain's attack.
After a while, the iron chain had retreated to within a few feet, just wrapping everyone in it.
Those gray mice were blocked outside the chain network formed by the iron chains and had no way to enter, but they still came one by one.
Slender Monkey and others were extremely frightened when they were next to me. Seeing that this continues, I am still a flesh and blood body with limited physical strength. In the end, I will inevitably die from the mouths of a pack of rats.
The thin monkey swallowed and said in a trembling voice: "Li Rui, catch the thief first and catch the king. As long as we catch the white-haired rat king, these gray rats will be afraid of attacking us again."
My heart trembled, and I thought: "What this guy said is true." Immediately, he jumped up and swept through the air. The iron chain in his hand struck towards the direction of the white-haired rat king like thunder and lightning.
The white-haired rat king seemed to have anticipated the approaching danger. He turned around and disappeared into the group of rats with a whooshing sound.
As soon as I was stunned, my body fell down involuntarily. Seeing that there was a dense swarm of rats in front of me, I didn't dare to slack off. I swept the iron chain around me and beat all the rats around me until their bones were broken. Then he jumped into the air again and jumped towards the door of the tomb.
Just now I vaguely saw the white-haired rat king squatting on the side of the tomb door. I guess the white-haired rat king was not far away at this time. I wanted to kill the white-haired rat king first and then turn around slowly. Slowly look for the secret of the mechanism under the iron barrel.
After two steps, I arrived at the door of the tomb. Looking around, I saw dense gray rats all around me. Where could there be any trace of the white-haired rat king?
As soon as his thoughts changed, the rats pounced on him again.
In desperation, I had no choice but to wave the chain again to protect my whole body.
I am protecting myself here, but the three Shouhouhou people over there are already on the verge of life and death.
The thin monkeys and the others lost my protection and were immediately surrounded by rats. The three men drew their weapons and blocked them from the left and right, but they were bitten by gray rats in a matter of seconds.
The area where I was bitten was numb and itchy.
This gray mouse has been contaminated by a lot of corpse energy since it has been underground for a long time. The corpse energy accumulates for a long time and condenses into corpse poison.
"Why hasn't Li Rui come back?" Xu Miaofeng waved the dagger, her heart softened, and her hands were much slower. In a short time, there were many injuries all over her body.
The thin monkey roared, and with a sweep of the engineer shovel in his hand, he killed dozens more gray rats, but the remaining gray rats still swarmed over like crazy.
The thin monkey said sadly: "It seems that there is no way to escape death today."
The short sword in the Ghost Taoist's hand was unable to withstand it. Hearing Shouhou say this, he immediately said loudly: "Shouhou, I told you not to take risks alone. Now it's better. We will all be buried with you!"
"Hey, you ghost Taoist, you still blame me!" Thin Monkey scolded: "If you hadn't been blinded by money, I wouldn't have taken the risk!"
Xu Miaofeng, who was standing next to him, sneered and said: "You still have the intention to shift the blame, Shouhou, I will settle the score with you after I become a ghost."
The thin monkey smiled miserably and said: "Okay, Xu Miaofeng, I'll wait for you below the underworld. We'll see you there."
After the thin monkey said this, he took out the fire stick from his body, put some clothes on his body, and a flame immediately rose up.
This thin monkey did not want to be buried in the mouths of rats, and even burned himself to death.
The ghost Taoist was stunned, his heart no longer had any fighting spirit, and the short knife in his hand immediately stopped.
The gray rats immediately swarmed up and bit them one after another.
The ghost Taoist only felt pain all over his body, and he knew that he would be bitten to death by a group of rats in a moment. He immediately raised his heart, lowered the short knife, and thrust it into his chest, and a stream of blood spurted out.
"Skinny Monkey, I'm here to accompany you -" the voice became smaller and smaller, and finally died out.
Then he fell to the ground with a plop and died.
A group of rats immediately swarmed up, and after a short time, they ate up the two corpses.
Xu Miaofeng clenched her teeth and waved for a moment, but she was still attacked by a group of rats. After a series of bites, she knew that she was going to die. She smiled miserably and wiped the knife edge on her throat.
At the door of the tomb, I could only watch with fear, and thought to myself: "It seems that if this continues, I will not be able to escape death. Now I must quickly escape along the original route before my physical strength is weakened, leaving Qingshan behind." Don’t worry about running out of firewood.”
Seeing that Xu Miaofeng was about to commit suicide, I quickly shouted: "Wait a minute -"
It was too late, but it was too soon. I swung the chain in my hand forward and used the momentum to move forward, throwing away all the rats beside Xu Miaofeng.
"Follow me!" When he landed, he waved the chain in his hand forward again, blocking out the rats.
"Li Rui!" Xu Miaofeng cried with excitement when she saw me coming back. At this time, she was exhausted and could only move by supporting me.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"I can't die." Xu Miaofeng replied.
"Let's go back the way we came!"
Fortunately, I had an iron chain to protect myself. After doing this several times, I had disappeared outside the door of the tomb.
Only a group of rats were left running back and forth in the tomb.
The white-haired rat king sprang out from the rat group again at some point, squatting at the door of the tomb, squeaking a few times, and seemed to be very comfortable, completely losing the panic he had just now.
Just when we thought that the Rat King was preparing to dispatch his army to hunt us down, we heard the sound of heavy footsteps in the distance.
When the white-haired rat king heard the footsteps, his expression changed again, and he looked very frightened. Following a swishing sound, the white-haired rat king ran behind a wooden barrel and hid.
The rest of the rats seemed to be extremely frightened and kept running around in the tomb.
When Xu Miaofeng and I saw this, we immediately hid.
This situation is very strange. They were fighting to the death just now, but now everything is calm for an instant.
Not long after, I heard the footsteps coming to the door of the tomb.
Stop. After a moment, a square object moved in from the door of the tomb.
The group of rats in the tomb were in chaos. The square thing jumped up, and such a huge thing jumped up with extraordinary agility.
The square giant jumped into the group of rats, then opened its mouth and sucked in, like a giant whale sucking water, hundreds of gray rats were involuntarily sucked into the belly of the giant rat.
Just as the behemoth was absorbing the group of rats, the white-haired rat king had already rushed out from behind the wooden barrel and ran towards the passage outside the tomb door as hard as he could.
When the rest of the group of rats saw that the white-haired rat king had escaped, they followed him like a swarm of swarms, retreating like a tide.
The behemoth turned around and sucked a few more times, and hundreds more gray rats were sucked into the belly of the behemoth.
With just such a pause, the rats had already escaped without a trace.
The rats come in waves and the tide recedes. Quickly come, quicker gone.
Only the huge creature remained in the tomb.
At this time, I clearly saw that the behemoth turned out to be a vicious "Ruxingshan".
The so-called "Ruxing Mountain" is a kind of Tai Sui. People often think that this is a monster that only exists in legends, but it is not true. It is shaped like a meat ball and can be transformed into square or round at will.
In ancient times, if the flesh-walking mountain was caught by sorcerers such as wizards, they would feed it with rotten corpses. Over time, a large amount of corpse energy would accumulate in the flesh-walking mountain. Later, when the emperor was building the royal tomb, he found the wizard, spent a lot of money to buy it, and then placed it in the tomb of the royal tomb, so that it could protect the royal tomb.
And this flesh-walking mountain also has the advantage that Tai Sui will not eat or rot, and will not die after thousands of years. Therefore, there are many such flesh-walking mountains in the tombs of emperors and princes. Those traps and hidden weapons are traps of death, and this flesh-walking mountain is a living murder weapon. If the tomb robber doesn't know the power of the flesh-walking mountain, he will be attacked by the poisonous mist sprayed by the flesh-walking mountain when he enters the tomb. Once poisoned, the whole body will slowly rot. Later, it was swallowed into the belly of the meat mountain and turned into fertilizer that nourished the meat mountain in its body.
The meat walking mountain wandered around the tomb for a while, and then slowly walked out of the tomb.
The tomb fell into dead silence again.
Xu Miaofeng breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Li Rui, what is that?"
I turned around and said, "Ruxingshan."
"Ruxing Mountain?" Xu Miaofeng opened her eyes wide, "The legendary Ruxing Mountain?"
"Yes." I nodded and said, "Look, the corpses of those rats have begun to slowly rot. In another hour or three, they will turn into a pool of blood."
Xu Miaofeng looked at the ground in horror. Sure enough, in a moment, the corpses of those mice had begun to fester, some from the limbs, some from the body, and some from the face.
What was slowly festering from the top of the face was even more horrifying. Half of the rat's corpse had exposed its bones, while the other half was still slowly corroding downwards.
"It seems that these corpses first fester from the location where the poisonous mist was sprayed at the Rouxing Mountain Pass, and then slowly spread to the whole body."
Xu Miaofeng felt a chill in her heart, "If it was me who was sprayed with flesh just now, I'm afraid I'm the one standing on the ground now."
"Don't think about it, let's find a way out first." I said.
"Yeah!" Xu Miaofeng nodded.
It’s not surprising that there is a flesh-hanging mountain in the ancient tomb, but how the flesh-hanging mountain came here and how those rats were so afraid of the flesh-hanging mountain is beyond my knowledge.
We walked out of the tomb, and there was only a bloody smell in the passage, lingering in the darkness.
For a long time, I don’t know how much time passed, we were still wandering around in the ancient tomb.
Fortunately, we did not encounter the Rouxing Mountain, nor did we encounter an army of rats, but Xu Miaofeng's condition was not good. Her eyes were closed, her beautiful face was as pale as paper, and she seemed to be severely injured.
Dozens of bright red blood were dotted on the white clothes.
