Liu Yiyi galloped at high speed on the back of the light, and there was a person following behind her, which was Yi Xin from Tianyuanzong. These two people have been chased away by these desert rats ever since they met them in the Kunlong Desert. For several months, neither of them had a moment's rest, and their elixirs had almost been consumed. It wasn't until a few days ago that they discovered that these demon rats were deliberately driving them towards Yaoling Mountain. Liu Yiyi and Yi Xin were also very helpless about this, knowing that there was a trap ahead, they had no choice but to jump into it.
Not only Liu Yiyi and Yi Xin encountered this situation. There were one or two monks in the other directions of the rat swarm, who had encountered the same situation as them, and were targeted by the rat swarm out of nowhere.
After a while, Liu Yiyi and the others had fled to the sky above Yaoling Mountain. After circling for a while, they all flew towards the concentration places of their respective sects.
As soon as Liu Yiyi flew into the imperial sword sect's formation, she saw Lu Yu's concerned face. Liu Yiyi didn't care about the other people beside her, so she threw herself into Lu Yu's arms, crying loudly, "I thought I'd never see my brother again!"
"How could it be, silly girl, haven't I been waiting for you here?" Lu Yu comforted.
Liu Yiyi raised her head and looked at Lu Yu, the tears in her eyes still couldn't stop flowing out, she complained in a crying voice: "Didn't I give you the Legend of the Flying Sword? Tell you to run quickly. Why are you still here?"
After hearing Liu Yiyi's words, Lu Yu was speechless for a while. Liu Yiyi's flying sword legend only has four words, no one would run away indiscriminately without knowing the situation. Besides, if Liu Yiyi really told him the whole story, then he would stay here to save Liu Yiyi from trouble.
"Junior Sister Liu, don't cry yet. Tell us what's going on with these demon rats?" Su Wu couldn't help asking.
Hearing Su Wu's words, Liu Yiyi felt that now was not the time to cry, so she wiped away the tears on her face and said depressedly: "Actually, I don't really know what's going on with this demon mouse. I and Yi Xin from Tianyuanzong The fellow daoists were teleported to the Sleepy Dragon Desert, and they were followed by this group of monster rats not long after. These monster rats seemed to be inexhaustible, killing more and more. In the end, the two of us could no longer resist these monster rats , had no choice but to flee. In the past few months, we have been driven around by a large group of demon rats behind us. It was not until a few days ago that we realized that we had been driven to the vicinity of Yaoling Mountain."
After listening to Liu Yiyi's narration, Lu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "So, you were deliberately driven here by the demon rats? It's impossible to do this with the wisdom of these demon rats."
"The Mouse King?" Su Wu blurted out.
"The Rat King can only control ten thousand monster rats at most, but look at the monster rats here, at least there are at least hundreds of millions!" Liu Yiyi had thought about this issue long ago, so she denied it.
While Lu Yu was contemplating, Xia Lao's dignified voice came from his ears: "Those monster rats should be controlled by the Shu Kings one by one. And the one who controls these rat kings should be the Shu King."
"The Emperor of the Rats!" Hearing these words, a flash of light flashed in Lu Yu's mind, and he suddenly remembered that he had read about the Emperor of the Rats in a miscellaneous journal.
"The Rat Emperor? Why have I never heard of it?" Liu Yiyi looked at Lu Yu with some doubts.
Lu Yu sorted out the chaotic fragments in his mind, and explained to the rest of the people: "I also saw it in a miscellaneous note that I inadvertently flipped through in the Buddhist scripture pavilion. The conditions for the birth of the Mouse Emperor are very strict, and it takes almost ten thousand years to be born. One out, and once it appears, it will be a catastrophe to a small planet. The demon mouse realm is only swordsmen, and the rat king realm is only in the late sword spirit stage, but the rat emperor realm generally has the sword emperor realm. And the general mouse emperor spirit wisdom They are all quite high, and they also have the talent of tearing space. Therefore, even if the average sword emperor is stronger than this mouse emperor, it will be difficult to kill it."
"Sword Emperor? Then we are doomed this time, aren't we?" a Yujianzong disciple said dejectedly.
"That's not necessarily true. These monster rats are obviously targeting the Yaoling Mountain. There must be unknown secrets in the Yaoling Mountain. Moreover, the Rat Emperor should not bother to attack us. As long as we can survive the rat tide Persist until the situation changes. There should be a glimmer of hope." Lu Yu calmed down at the critical moment, and said sharply.
"Bang—" Just as everyone in Yujianzong was still talking, the rat wave had spread to the foot of Yaoling Mountain, fighting with dozens of monks. The sound just now was the sound made by the first monster rat hitting the defensive formation.
"Everyone hold an entrance, Yiyi, restore your mana as soon as possible, go up and help if you can't resist it. Don't let the demon mouse take advantage of it!" Lu Yu shouted loudly, and then he was a little empty, and suddenly a sword qi came from The fingertips flew out, cutting the demon rat that had just hit the protective formation in half.
Lu Yu and the other four members of Yu Jianzong guarded the five entrances of the defensive array, while Liu Yiyi sat in the eye of the array and meditated to recover his mana. Some people from other sects built a temporary magic circle and fought with the demon rats in the magic circle; some simply fought with these monster rats directly, and in an instant, blood flowed into rivers at the foot of the mountain. But no one noticed that the blood flowed to Yaoling Mountain very regularly. As soon as the blood got close to the clouds and mist covering Yaoling Mountain, it would make a "Zizizi-" sound.
Lu Yu controlled the fourteen black swords with his mind to quickly harvest the heads of the demon rats, which looked very light and fast. However, Lu Yu knew in his heart that these demon rats seemed inexhaustible, and his mana was limited. Once one's mana is exhausted, there is only one way to die.
"Old Xia, what do you think the purpose of these demon rats is?" Lu Yu commanded the flying sword to kill the demon rats, while sending a voice transmission to Xia Lao.
"Well, it's hard to say! However, what is certain is that the mouse king's target is definitely not you little fish. One thing is certain is that this demon mouse must want to use you or use something to lure out the monsters hidden in Yaoling Mountain. Someone or something." Elder Xia replied.
Time is passing by every minute and every second, and a whole day has passed. The corpses of the monster rats killed by the monks had been piled up at the foot of the mountain. The blood was flowing, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.
Lu Yu's face was also a little pale at this time. Three disciples of Yujianzong had already died in battle, and now only Su Wu and Liu Yiyi were left in the big formation still insisting. As for the other two exits, Lu Yu released the last batch of little monkey puppets to resist the ferocious attack of the demon rat.
As for the people of other sects, it is even more bleak, only a few people are still struggling to resist.
At the same time, in the unknown depth of the secret room under this blood-soaked land. A dusty old man sat cross-legged on the stone platform. An hourglass was placed on the stone table in the stone room, and instead of fine sand, the hourglass was filled with blood. A drop of bright red blood dripped from above the hourglass. Just listening to "tick-" broke the silence of this secret room.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the hourglass. His eyes were dull and his expression was very dull. The old man walked down from the stone platform, and there was a "cracking, crackling" bone sound on his body.
The old man walked to the stone table, picked up the hourglass on the table, and looked up at the ceiling. Sighing lightly, he said to himself: "This mouse wants to leave this place again. It seems that it really doesn't care about me as a protector. This time we must teach him a lesson."
As soon as the words fell, the hourglass was placed on the stone platform intact, but the old man had disappeared into the secret room.
"Boom—" There was a loud noise. The old man broke through the ground and appeared in the air. The demon rats below turned a blind eye to the old man's appearance, and still besieged the few monks with all their strength.
Lu Yu stared at the old man in the air, and sent a voice transmission to Xia Lao: "Xia Lao, what do you think of this person's cultivation level? Is it the person the Mouse Emperor is looking for?"
"Human? If I'm not mistaken, this is just a puppet with the realm of Sword Emperor. But this puppet should have developed independent wisdom." Elder Xia replied affirmatively.
"A puppet at the level of the Sword Emperor? It seems that the Mouse Emperor came after him." Lu Yu whispered to himself.
The old man in the sky also ignored the group of cultivators and demon rats below. In his eyes, these strengths were too low to pose any threat to him.
The old man just stared at a certain part of the rat tide with a blank face, and said coldly: "You rat, this protector has spared your life many times. You have never changed your mind after repeated admonitions, and even want to leave here."
"Hey, what protector? It's just a puppet guarding the medicine garden." Flying out of the group of rats was a short old man with eyes so small that they were almost invisible and sharp-nosed monkey cheeks. He really looked a bit like a rat. This old man is the commander of this rat wave—the Rat Emperor.
"I'm a puppet, so what are you? It's just a mouse in this medicine garden." The old man snorted coldly.
"I don't want to talk about the past. I just want to leave here. Don't stop me." The Mouse Emperor said viciously.
"No, the master asked me to guard the medicine garden and not allow anyone to destroy it. You don't want to break through here. You can go to other places and break through." The old man said expressionlessly.
"Hmph! You clearly know that the space here is the weakest in the entire secret realm. If you can use the blood sacrifice to suppress the space power, you can easily tear the space. Other places can't tear the space at all with my current cultivation base." The Mouse King said coldly. Humph.
"Then don't care about my business. I can't disobey the master's order." The old man said coldly.
"In that case, then I have to spend a little time to completely erase you, an old stubborn man, from this world." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Mouse Emperor, and with a wave of his hand, thousands of giant monster rats flew into the air and swept the old man away. surrounded by it.
Seeing this scene, the old man said blankly: "Do you think these thousands of rat kings can stop the Dharma protector?"
