The Godsfall Chronicles

Chapter 40: trap

Views:

The blue sky is clear and cloudless, the desert is as sandy as snow, and the golden sunlight is pouring over the desert like fire. The gravel is crackling in the high temperature, and cracks appear in large areas in the scorching heat of the earth.

This scorching heat and light are many times stronger than those of the old era. The physique of most creatures in the old era can't bear it, but those weaker lives have long been turned into wilderness bones for thousands of years, and the creatures that can survive now, They are often able to fully adapt to the new environment.

The mad dog roared like a beast and slashed twice.

The half bodies of the two giant rats were cut in half immediately, and a lot of foul-smelling and sour liquid flowed out from the cut flesh.

This side has just been dealt with, and another one rushed up next to it.

The mad dog sideways avoided the giant rat's frenzied bite, and Yunying took advantage of the gap to rush forward nimbly, and directly poked the giant rat's head with a triangular steel pipe, before he could pull it out again.

"Acid rats again!"

The mercenary Cook rushed back from the front on a Sasquatch, followed by a large group of giant rats, one of which was a relatively small but chubby mutant rat with shiny green fur. The group is still more conspicuous.

Acid rats are a special mutant rat.

This mutant mouse has several acid sacs in its body. It can collect and store strong acid substances in normal times. When it needs to fight, it can spray acid liquid to attack a target several meters away. The most troublesome thing is that the acid liquid mouse not only has acid sacs, There are a large number of acid glands in its leather armor tissue, cutting one with an ordinary weapon can end its life, and the acid and blood splashed out are enough to cause great harm to people.

The iron hedgehog that was scrapped yesterday was caused by this guy!

Puff!

Two streams of acid shot out.

Yun Ying and Mad Dog quickly dodged, and the two killed giant rats were hit by the acid, and the fur and flesh of the giant rats were completely dissolved with the sound of "chi chi", leaving only the bones exposed, but soon the bones also softened and melted go down.

The mad dog roared: "Get rid of him!"

Yunying threw the steel pipe from his right hand to his left, and drew the revolver from his waist. When he was about to launch the second attack, he shot it directly into the mouth of the acid mouse. This fatal attack caused the fat giant rat to collapse immediately, and then the whole body began to dissolve, a large amount of acid poured out to the surroundings, and a small pit was hardly corroded on the ground.

Acidrat was killed.

The mad dog didn't have any scruples anymore, and chopped the four giant rats into minced meat in an instant like cutting melons and vegetables with two machetes. At this time, Wula also rushed out from the side to help, and the giant rats were finally wiped out.

Yunying wiped off the blood on the triangular steel pipe.

At this time, Cook came over on a Sasquatch: "Boss Fox found a cave, and the surrounding area has been cleaned up. Let's hide in it first."

Mad Dog and Yunying followed Cook to find the cave.

Everyone seemed to have experienced a battle, and several of them were injured, looking very embarrassed.

The mad dog's accumulated anger completely exploded, he kicked a big rock, cursed and rebuked angrily: "This time the information deviation is too outrageous, what's more, there are only one or two hundred rats, and there are more than five hundred of this kind of big rats here! "

These giant rats are not only powerful, but the number of them is several times higher than the intelligence.

It is impossible to estimate the exact amount now.

Yunying was a little tired and leaned against the hole, checking his revolver. A total of three bullets were used up. He filled the bullets one by one, put them back into the magazine, and inserted them in his waist.

The thing here is that the line of sight is good, and the range of more than ten kilometers can be seen. The earth is like a large centipede entangled with each other, forming a large number of short ridges.

In the field of vision, there are a lot of strange buildings and collapsed statues. Among them, there is a short mountain that is particularly eye-catching. It seems to have been cut off by a giant blade. Just at the smooth fracture site, there is a spire more than ten meters long, which is very abrupt. It "grows" obliquely out of the rock.

The all-metal spire is very rusted as a whole. Regardless of the material style or the feeling it gives, it doesn't look like an old-age building, but it looks like it was brought here from another world.

"Is it strange?" A big man like a bear came over: "This is a typical space overlapping terrain. I heard that a long time ago, the world we live in was unknown for some reason. It suddenly overlapped with multiple worlds, and the big collision destroyed the ancient Civilization has changed the landscape and brought many strange things into our world, and these things growing out of stones are all left over from that time, so they look so weird.”

"You know this?" Yunying looked at him suspiciously: "You made it up!"

"Hey, when I was on a mission two years ago, I met a group of old-fashioned people who claimed to be explorers. They said these things. As for whether it is true, I don't know!" Cook lit a cigarette and stood beside him. Sitting down, he took out another one and handed it to him, "The world is messed up, who cares! One?"

Yunying has gained experience, and after taking a small breath this time, he was still choked up and coughed again and again: "Ahem... explorers? Who are they?"

"I don't know, a group of guys with faulty brains, looking for truth and truth all day long, guys who want to revive the lost civilization, but they seem to be quite powerful in the wilderness." Cook shook his head and threw a water bottle to him, "There are all kinds of weird people in the wilderness, and there is nothing strange about it."

"Yeah, everyone has it now!"

Yunying opened the kettle and smelled it, and when he was sure it was really water, he took a big gulp to let the coolness penetrate into his body.

"Having said that, your performance is not bad. I didn't expect you to have such skills."

Yun Ying said angrily: "I was beaten by you in turn for a month, shouldn't I learn something."

Cook laughed loudly: "You kid is hiding deep enough, go back and have a good competition."

Yunying snorted and said, "I'm afraid I'll beat you all over the floor."

"Yes, I remember this sentence, just wait for me!"

"Everyone come here!" Sly Fox Gathered and began to announce: "The situation of this mission is more complicated, we don't know how many mice there are, judging from the current situation, about 400 to 500 mice are indispensable, and It's too big to explore blindly."

The mercenaries started cursing.

"Then have you come up with an idea?" Mad Dog said impatiently, "We can't fight so many giant rats!"

Cunning Fox is the captain of the first team of Huangquan mercenaries, and also the main brain of Huangquan mercenaries. When encountering problems, he usually relies on Cunning Fox to find a solution.

"Use the stupidest way!"

"The stupidest way?"

"We have a total of twenty-five people. If we encounter no more than forty giant rats, as long as there are no mistakes or accidents in the battle, we can completely control the battle with zero casualties." The cunning fox paused for a few seconds. Zhong continued: "I have already observed the terrain around here. Several ridges are bare, and there are not many places that can block the view. We have enough water, and ordinary giant rat meat can be eaten directly. Therefore, we It is fully capable of fighting a war of attrition. From now on, it will not explore further, and only hunt single giant rats. If you encounter a large group of rats, try to separate them, and then make traps to lure small groups of giant rats. Carry out an annihilation battle with a small group as a unit, step by step, fight steadily, slowly go deep, and finally find out the rat king!"

A small group of small groups slowly consumes the number, hundreds of giant rats are almost killed, and then try to find a way to get rid of the rat king? What a stupid way!

But effective enough!

Giant rats are low-level beings, no matter how powerful they are, they are still lowly animals. Humans cannot use brute force to deal with animals. Of course, they must give full play to their greatest advantage, which is the role of their brains.

Yunying yawned, it seemed that he was busy.

The mercenaries are elites in the wilderness, each possessing unique skills and strong mobility. The cunning fox's strategy has been set, and everyone starts to act immediately.

Ula played an important role, using his nose to find rat groups, and the mercenaries eliminated them batch by batch by diverting them to lure them and laying traps.

day down.

A total of one hundred giant rats were hunted down.

The rat meat alone is worth a lot.

The mercenaries had no casualties, and the results were brilliant!

The next day continued, but Yunying found that the number of giant rats in the vicinity had decreased significantly, and about 50 of them had been killed this day. On the third day, there was no sign of any giant rat at all.

Mercenaries are kind of weird.

But I didn't think too much about it.

It is probably because the giant rats are territorial. When the giant rats in one area are hunted down, the giant rats in other areas have no time to replenish them, so a vacuum zone is formed. This is not uncommon in the wilderness. Now that the giant rats here have been killed, the mercenaries made a decision after discussion and began to slowly infiltrate and wipe out other areas.

Yunying led Wula, and Wula ran ahead, while more than two dozen mercenaries shuttled through the bare wilderness.

Wula followed the sense of smell for more than an hour, and suddenly stopped in front of a canyon, and he barked into the canyon.

"There is a small group of giant rats here." Yunying covered his face with a cloth scarf, wore goggles, held a steel pipe in his hand, hung a shotgun behind his back, and wore leather armor. He looked like a mercenary, " Probably between twenty and thirty."

Mad Dog didn't even think about it: "Then what are you waiting for? Go in and deal with them!"

Yunying glanced into the canyon, the canyon looked very deep and narrow, for some reason, there was a bad feeling in his heart: "Why do I feel something is wrong."

Mad Dog didn't understand what Yunying said: "Wula's nose never goes wrong!"

"The four of you stay here, and report immediately if there is any situation." Cunning Fox also believed in Ula's judgment, but with his cautious character, he still left four capable members to take charge of the sentry. "Let's go in and make a quick decision."

Twenty or thirty giant rats are nothing to this group.

This canyon was quite deep, but as Yunying followed the crowd deeper and deeper, he felt worse and worse in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

Finally reached the deepest part of the canyon.

"What's going on here?" Mad Dog looked at the empty place, his ugly and dark face sank, "Could it be that Wula's nose is really wrong?"

The place is empty, only the ground is full of rocks, and there is no road ahead.

Not to mention the giant rat, there is no half ghost.

This is impossible!

When Yunying found something, he rushed over immediately and used the steel pipe to push away the rocks. When he saw the things buried inside, his face turned pale immediately.

When the other mercenaries came over to take a look, their expressions changed drastically, because the stone was covered with rat hair and feces.

There was really nothing wrong with Ulla's nose.

These are indeed very fresh traces, probably buried here a few hours ago.

Both the cunning fox and the mad dog stared at the strange scene with dumbstruck eyes.

Only Cook, a nervous mercenary, didn't seem to feel the dignified atmosphere. Instead, he laughed and said, "Don't tell me that the giant mouse deliberately set up a trap to lure us all in, hahahaha …”

He only stopped laughing halfway through.

He was the only one laughing in the audience!

He felt very embarrassed!

Yunying didn't find it funny at all, a chill ran down his spine, although he had experienced countless fears, this time was different from before, because a terrible thought really appeared in his mind...

These goddamn rats really set a trap and fooled all human beings? !
