Li Muye and others quietly approached the strategic point guarded by the opponent. They heard a strange sound before they got close. When they followed the sound and took a look, they couldn't help but be surprised.
In the world, rats are the leader in a group. Among the animals, the wolf is the king, and when the number is seventy-two, the two kings will be divided into groups. Among insects, ants have the largest number. There is a custom of breaking up the group after one and a half million. That is to say, when the number of wolves reaches seventy-two, new ones will be born. The wolf king divides the group into separate groups, and once the number of ant groups reaches 1.5 million, a new queen will be born to redistribute power and territory. Bees have similar habits.
Of all things, there is no limit to the number of people, krill, rats, and sparrows that can gather in groups. Once flooding occurs, natural disasters or natural enemies will be needed to reduce the population. When there are more people, there will be more disputes, and wars will naturally reduce the population. Krill survive in the cold sea. They are small and insignificant, but they are the main food source for the largest beasts in the world. Sparrows have the habit of hanging on trees in groups. A tree is a group. A group cannot exceed the carrying limit of a tree, otherwise internal war will break out.
Among these creatures, rats are the most special. They have strong fecundity, are not picky about food, and are extremely adaptable to survival. They can be found in almost any corner of the earth. Ancient alchemists believed that there was a country of humans on the ground and a country of rats underground. The Rat Kingdom rules over the rats in the world and has opened 10,800 underground rat tunnels, which exactly correspond to the number of ancient latitudes on the earth. The rats travel in the underground rat tunnels and form a country of their own. For millions of years, they have reproduced far more prosperously than humans.
At this moment, the entrance where the scientific research base was built has become a sea of rats. The number is huge, more than tens of millions! Three giant rats are majestic among the rats, and there is also a fat and huge white rat as big as a rhinoceros and a hippopotamus. The rat god and demon Sun Delu is sitting on the back of this giant rat!
A ground worm suddenly emerged from the ground, its bloody mouth opened, and it was instantly filled with rats. The group of rats had a fit of excitement and fled away one after another. At this moment, the fat white giant rat neighed, and some large rats with protruding incisors moved forward and pounced on the ground insect regardless of their own safety.
This earthworm shuttles underground all year round, and its cortex is constantly subjected to friction. It has been trained to be extremely tough. It is difficult to be hurt by ordinary swords. However, it turned into a crispy silkworm chrysalis in front of these incisor mouse army, and the mice swarmed up. A ground insect weighing two or three times was eaten clean in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Li Muye immediately made a judgment: Huang Yonghao and others had escaped! Immediately ordered Diana to stay away and lead people to take over the golden treasure of the Nightless City.
Xiaofen was horrified: "Uncle, these rats are too scary."
Li Muye nodded solemnly and said: "That old man is the Rat God Demon Sun Delu. He was one of the elders of Baiyuntang. After being expelled by Bai Wuxia, he took refuge with Li Zhonghua."
Lao Cui said in a deep voice: "Boss, why don't we just forget it? This belongs to both earthworms and rats, and we can't get involved." This big man has never been afraid of life and death, but at this moment he is obviously a little scared.
"It's too late to evacuate." Li Muye said: "The ground fifty meters around our feet has been hollowed out by ground worms. Pi Rixiu covered the evacuation of Huang Yonghao and Zhang Junpeng, and sent the ground worms to open up the ground veins in this area. Now Evacuate, as long as there is a slight vibration, the insects underground will rush out. You have also seen that once the insects move, these rats will immediately launch an offensive. We do not have Sun Delu's ability to subdue rats."
Xiaofen asked: "Uncle, can you hear the movement underground?"
Li Muye said: "The earth worms are moving hundreds of meters below, and the vibrations are difficult to transmit to the surface. You should be able to feel it if you put your ear to the ground. Forget it, Lao Cui."
"What should we do now?" Lao Cui asked.
Li Muye said: "Don't worry, wait and see what happens. Sun Delu has met his opponent. He controls tens of millions of rats deep underground, but he does not take an offensive. Instead, he sets up a formation of ten thousand rats to defend. , one can imagine that his opponent is even more difficult." He added: "This is a rare spectacle."
Xiao Fen said: "These old charlatans and magicians have mastered thaumaturgy to this level. They are really not much different from gods."
Li Muye said: "It's not as magical as you think. It's just a matter of observing the subtleties of things and understanding the habits of living things to make use of them. Without scientific laws, people in the world are ignorant and regard insect things as supernatural things, such as the rain of toads in Gansu that year. Incident, after a heavy rain, hundreds of thousands of giant toads fell from the sky in a city in Gansu Province. The streets and alleys of the city were full of them. People thought it was a disaster coming from the sky and went out to avoid it. But nothing happened. , official agencies even specifically blocked the news.”
Xiaofen said: "Is this someone using insect magic?"
Li Muye nodded and said: "I heard Gao Yuelong say that the source of that incident was a battle between two old insect masters. One of them recruited a worm to cause a plague, and the other used a worm in order to restrain the opponent. The insect technique attracted all the toads around the five-hundred-mile section of the Yellow River and ate up all the toads, preventing them from reaching the scale needed to form a plague. Then, the old Japanese insect master who recruited the toads was defeated by his opponent. He was assassinated and killed with a pistol."
Lao Cui asked: "Brother, what kind of insect magic can attract hundreds of thousands of toads? Anyway, let me see, it is no different from fairy magic."
Li Muye said: "The so-called insect arts are actually all kinds of martial arts based on the habits and characteristics of living things. For example, if you use the wolf method to harm people, you would go and dig out the wolf cubs in the wolf dens with a radius of a hundred miles, kill them all, and then pour the blood on them." In the house of someone who is your enemy, if the wolves follow the smell and chase you, they will definitely become mad and will not stop fighting. To attract the snake group, you will catch the female snake and make snake ointment to attract the male snake. This method of attracting toads is also used. I don’t know the details of other animals’ natures, but I’m sure it’s not valuable to put it bluntly.”
"Where is his opponent? In order to defeat his opponent, that person actually wanted to cause a plague and kill all the people in the city. How can such a person be worthy of such a high level of alchemy?" Xiaofen asked: "Do you know this person? What’s your name?”
"Although he is not dead, he has become a useless person." Li Muye looked at the group of rats over there and said, "That person is the Moon Bug Earth Master, named Feng Dalong. He is the skin in front of us who is fighting with Sun Delu in the dark. Rixiu's master, the person he fought against back then was Gao Yuelong's teacher. In order to break the insect technique left by Gao Yuelong's master, he entered the Yellow River to break the technique, but was bitten off half of his body by the evil dragon, leaving only his upper body. Half of the body is still alive."
Xiaofen asked: "What is an evil dragon?"
"The evil dragon is a big catfish. It has lived for five hundred years and has flippers and feet. Its body is like ink, and it has a huge mouth. It dares to capsize boats and eat people, especially corpses." Li Muye said: "Before liberation, there were still some that came out to cause mischief. of."
"Why did they still come out to cause trouble before liberation? Did they disappear after liberation?"
"It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly when I get the chance later."
Author's note: From ancient times to the present, whenever dynasties change and reform begins, there must be some new atmosphere and new rules. The rule of our dynasty is that all old trends of thought are dross, and all the dross thoughts and science that confuse people's minds cannot be fully explained for the time being. Everything that is clear will be destroyed! The government vigorously promotes science among the people, but among the upper class, there are still some people who pay great attention to the traditional method of health preservation.
In the 1950s, the fishery administration department organized some old charlatan warriors to form a special unit dedicated to catching Yellow River carps and feeding them directly to the dinner table of the head of state. This Yellow River carp is no ordinary product. It must be a three-foot carp with golden scales and a red tail, a body like a shuttle, and a dragon pattern on its forehead. Take the dragon meat from the two cheeks to make fish soup. Eating it all year round can not only prolong your life, but also keep your Qi and pulse stable, make your body light and healthy, and make you feel like a dragon when you enter the water.
Gao Yuelong was also a member of that special unit back then, but more than fifty years ago, he was only a young man in his early twenties. His status in the world and the methods of the Fang family were far inferior to those of other old men in the world. According to his story, under the guise of catching big carps with golden scales and red tails dotted with dragon patterns, their working group carried out a large-scale purge of the Yellow River aquatic tribe. They almost killed all the evil dragons that were more than five hundred years old.
"Boss, look, I don't know what happened to those rats. They are dying one by one." Lao Cui pointed to the center of the field over there and said, "Look, there is a hole below, and all the dead rats fell in."
Li Muye looked around and saw the empty field at the edge of the scientific research base in front. The two Fang families had already set up a battlefield. Sun Delu won with numbers. The Rat Kingdom recruited troops and recruited countless rats from the Rat Kingdom. Rats were rampant in the square. Like a sea of rats. And his opponent has also appeared at this moment. Pi Rixiu is stepping on a giant pink insect with a black head and an iron mouth. His eyes are as big as basketballs but they are the ears of a deaf person. He looks a bit silly.
Lao Cui said: "Boss, look quickly. Is the old cat in front of the Insect King the one you gave to Pi Rixiu?"
"That's right, this is the leader of the fairy insects, the wolfberry. There are only a handful of mammals in the world who are not afraid of it." Li Muye nodded and said, "This time I am raising a tiger to cause trouble. According to the Japanese Insect Classic, the wolffish The bone elixir is produced by eating cats, and the bone elixir of this little thing is carved into a chain that can lock the giant whale in the sea. These rats have encountered a natural enemy."
The wild beast walked slowly in front. Wherever it passed, groups of rats were moving. Those rats that had no time to escape and fainted followed the evading rats into a burrow in the middle. He looked as if he were dead.
"It looks like an old cat." Xiao Fen said fearfully: "Uncle, is there any way we can calm this little thing?"
Li Muye slowly shook his head and said: "The alchemy of the Insect Classic of the Sun is mainly about finding and killing insects, refining treasures and maintaining health. It is not good at controlling insects. In this aspect, it is inferior to that of the Moon. I have been doing this since the beginning. Pi Rixiu was there to prevent me from cheating on the church, and Gao Yuelong later taught me some real things under Bai Wuxia's orders, but they may not be real teachings. If there weren't these big rats, maybe we could still use some tricks to get around it."
He also said: "The worms can be divided into good ones and bad ones. Good ones feed on alien species, so you should always preach the scriptures and winds to them. This insect has extraordinary spirituality. Over time, it will naturally understand the morals and ethics, and be kind to others. On the other hand, poor breeding is just the opposite. You have to feed on the same kind, that is, feed it with cats, leopards, lynxes, lions, and tigers until white hair grows on its eyelids, then bone pills are produced, and then the bone pills are polished into chains to chain them. Lock him up and teach him with violence and blood every day, and this evil insect has been cultivated."
Xiaofen asked: "Is this thing very powerful?" As he spoke, he patted the sniper rifle behind him.
Li Muye nodded solemnly and said: "Red Claw Bluetooth kills people invisible. If you don't have a way to crack it, you will be almost invincible. This is a wind-born insect. It is extremely sensitive to changes in airflow. It is useless to shoot. It cannot be killed at all." Yeah, I do know how to break it, but unfortunately I don’t know where I can find something to subdue it.”
Huang Yonghao has probably led people away from the underground. If he wants to pursue him, he must first pass the hurdle in front of him, but Pi Rixiu is now fully armed, with a posture that one man can guard against ten thousand others. Even the army of the rat kingdom, the rat god and demon Sun Delu, could not even cross the thunder pool.
Lao Cui said: "Boss, look quickly, those three big rats are charging up!" (End of Chapter)
