Chapter 220 Big Rat
Feng Ling did not stop him.
As soon as the carriage door opened, the humanoid rat outside immediately jumped in!
Ye Zheng flapped his wings violently and swung his sharp claws at the rat monster without any hesitation!
A strong smell of blood spread instantly, as if a bottle of liquor was poured into the air and lingered for a long time.
The cat spider and cat owl also left the carriage and attacked the monster near the truck aggressively.
The rat monsters around were quickly cleared out.
Ye Zheng returned to the carriage with bloody claws, her expression showing disgust. Feng Ling guessed that she must also think the rat monster was ugly.
"These monsters have no eyes and no noses. I don't know what ability they use to determine our location." Ye Zheng said in a low voice with a frown.
"Maybe... like a snake, it can sense the thermal infrared wavelengths emitted by living creatures?" Feng Ling guessed.
"We were in the car just now, but they could still find us through the aluminum alloy compartment. This shows that their ability is more sensitive than thermal sensing." Ye Zheng said.
Feng Ling turned around and asked Li Qing: "Can you analyze what kind of monster this thing is? It should be related to local myths and legends, right?"
Li Qing looked a little gloomy and a little frustrated.
"The design elements of the maze will refer to the local folk culture. Myths and legends are only a part of the folk culture. Judging from the appearance of these creatures... I can't tell what kind of monsters they are." Li Qing replied.
Feng Ling said: "Big rat~"
Ye Zheng looked at her and said nothing.
"As for the mouse..." Li Qing pondered, "In the folklore of Guangshan, the most famous one is the mouse marrying a daughter. The locals believe that mice are unlucky and need to be married off on the night of the 30th of the lunar calendar to ensure peace and good fortune in the coming year."
Feng Ling asked him, "Anything else? I don't think those humanoid mice outside are going to have a wedding."
Li Qing thought about it awkwardly, "Maybe it has nothing to do with the legend. The system just extracted the local characteristics as the maze elements."
"Local specialty?" Feng Ling asked in confusion, "Big rats are Guangshan City's local specialty?"
Before Li Qing could speak, Xu Yiming nodded first, "The rats and cockroaches in Guangshan City are famous for being big!"
"There aren't any big cockroaches outside, right?!" Huangfu Miaomiao became nervous.
It’s not that she thinks cockroaches are disgusting, but she thinks they can fly and are difficult to deal with when she encounters them.
Ye Zheng said irritably, "Compared to rats, these monsters look more like humans, with human skin and skeletons, but with a rat tail. I don't think there's any point in discussing these rumors about rats."
Ye Zheng pays more attention to efficiency than Feng Ling. Under the influence of the pollution value, her patience is almost zero. After being stained with the smell of blood, her murderous intent becomes even stronger. She wishes she could rush out and kill all the monsters outside.
As soon as she finished speaking, the carriage crashed several times!
Ye Zheng rushed out without thinking!
After a few seconds, the monster's screams were heard outside. After a few seconds, the night returned to silence, and Ye Zheng came back covered in blood.
"How many?" Feng Ling asked her.
"I don't know how many, maybe five or six," Ye Zheng replied.
Feng Ling looked at Li Qing and asked delicately, "Do you think these rats will keep coming here to cause trouble?"
Although the threat is not great, it would still be troublesome for her if he kept coming to die.
Before Li Qing came, he had not been able to study the local folk culture thoroughly, so he really couldn't give an answer now. He pondered over and over again, and said to Feng Ling: "How about I tell you a fortune?"
Feng Ling nodded, "Okay, tell me whether we should stay where we are or go out to find a safe area."
Li Qing took out a tortoise shell and an ancient copper coin. Under the gaze of everyone, he shook the tortoise shell. Ho la la, ho la la - the copper coin fell out. He continued to shake the tortoise shell, and after repeating it several times, he got the result.
"Stay where you are." Li Qing said with a firm tone.
boom!
Bang bang bang!
The carriage was hit again! Then there were screams and scratching sounds. It was the Cat Spider and the Cat Owl who were cleaning up the rat monsters that attacked the truck.
Ye Zheng heard the noise and couldn't help but ask Li Qing: "Are you sure?"
Are you sure you want to stay here?
Li Qing didn't know much about the rat monster, but he trusted his fortune teller's card very much. He pointed to the copper coin and explained, "The name of this hexagram is Earth Fire Ming Yi. Li means brightness, Kun means smoothness, Li means the sun, and Kun means the earth. The sun sinks into the earth, and the brightness is damaged. This means that the future is uncertain and everything is blocked. We should keep a low profile and wait for good luck."
He looked at Feng Ling and continued, "So I think we should stay. We know nothing about this maze. We can still cope with it now, but if we move to another place, we may encounter greater difficulties. By then, we will have no way out."
Feng Ling actually tends to stay.
The thick fog in this maze gave her a very bad feeling, and she wanted to wait until dawn to see if the fog would become lighter.
"Then stay. It's only a few hours until dawn anyway." Feng Ling said.
Xu Yiming listened to the noise outside and asked Feng Ling: "Do we need to arrange a shift so that we can take turns guarding outside?"
Feng Ling stretched his neck and said, "I'll guard it first. I'm not sleepy at the moment."
Ye Zheng said expressionlessly: "I'm not sleepy either."
Huangfu Miaomiao immediately said: "I will guard it with you!"
These rat monsters are all polluted entities, and they are all points to Huangfu Miaomiao.
Xu Yiming smiled helplessly, "Now that the three of you have gone, it's no fun to leave me alone in the carriage. I'll stay with you guys."
Feng Ling smiled and said, "Then let's go together. Whoever is tired can go into the carriage and rest."
Except for the Taoist priest who had no fighting ability, everyone left the carriage.
Huangfu Miaomiao placed a large emergency light on the front and rear of the car, illuminating the surroundings of the truck.
The rat monster hiding in the fog was exposed as soon as it emerged and was killed easily by Feng Ling and others.
The attack power of these rat monsters is very low, and their only attack methods are grabbing and biting. Feng Ling got tired of killing a few of them, and sat alone on the top of the carriage, directing the cat spider and cat owl to do their work.
Gradually, everyone showed signs of fatigue.
Although there are only five or six rat monsters appearing each time, this repetitive attack mode will gradually make people numb. Even a warrior like Ye Zheng will have his movements and reactions visibly slowed down.
Huangfu Miaomiao was the first one who couldn't hold on any longer. She turned into a black ghost and rushed back to the carriage to rest.
Next was Xu Yiming, who was bitten by the rat monster because he did not react in time and had to go back to the carriage to spray disinfectant on the wound.
The cat spider and the cat owl were becoming increasingly lazy and unwilling to move.
Feng Ling sighed, called the two cubs back, jumped off the carriage, and said to Ye Zheng in front of him: "Hey, you go and rest, let me take over."
Ye Zheng stood still in the fog, looking around vigilantly, on guard against the rat monster that might jump out at any time, and replied, "I'm not tired yet."
"No, you're tired." Feng Ling taunted, "Your reaction is as slow as a snail now. I can beat you without changing into my second form. Do you believe it?"
This night, I will stay up for a while
