The two of them bypassed the Black Stone and continued to move forward in the darkness. Gradually, a faint voice of Xixisso came from the front, and Mom immediately froze at the moment of his detection. He clenched his fists hard, grabbed and raised his heavy legs, and followed Feichi step by step. Despite his fear, he would never allow himself to watch his comrades move forward alone without going forward to help!
"It's not far ahead... Last time, I didn't notice the mouse screaming, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen down on the air."
The collapse was right in front, surrounded by a bunch of messy footprints and hand scratches, and then led to a footprint with a large step but shaking left and right track, leading from the collapse to the exit. It seemed that Momm was indeed very panicked and struggled to climb up from below. Feich slowly approached the collapse mouth. The soil under his feet was not stable, and you could feel the cracks spreading and expanding inside the soil.
"Be careful, this place should be in the middle of two rocks, with only soil under your feet, and then a hole. I'm a little reminded of the scene when I climbed up. Be careful, those mice are not far from the hole. Don't step on the middle!"
Fitch nodded: "Yes, it seems that only the sides are safe. If I go down from here, you will wait for me next to you for a while, don't go anywhere else."
Mom agreed, and he came to the solid ground on the side of the crack and began to take out the weapons he was carrying. Both maces and daggers were normal, and crossbows were standard for monster hunters in the Ice Peak Fortress. Only that fishing net was a rare "weapon". "If you are caught up by the rats, I will cast a net behind you, and then we will block them all here."
"Just don't cover me." Feiqi said to Momm: "Momm, I know this requirement is a bit difficult, but please control yourself and try to try even when you are afraid. The mouse cannot defeat the monster hunter, only fear is the enemy."
"I know, I will work hard, be careful."
With the rope of the air element, Feich slowly descended from the entrance of the cave. Not far from his feet was a flat and smooth passage, with many oval pebbles lying scattered on the road. Feich suspected that this was an underground river, and the long-term impact of the water flow caused a pipeline-like valley. Now the river water has long disappeared, but the rocks are still flat, so you have to be very careful when walking up, as ordinary people are prone to losing balance.
However, with the pulling of the rope of the air element, Feiqi is not an ordinary person. He went down the cave like a pipe and saw many traces of damage caused by Mommy to pedal along the way. Because of panic, his feet slipped, causing him to go up and down several times. No wonder he said that he had struggled for a long time before climbing up again. In front, a sudden hole appeared at the end of the passage, and countless mice made squeaking sounds, which made noises constantly spread to Feiqi's ears.
Sure enough, he arrived at the place. Feiqi came to the entrance of the cave and looked down. The vision of the darkness allowed him to see a creepy scene. The mice were not illusions, but thousands of fat and fat gray and brown creatures crowded together. The entrance of Feiqi was located was less than two meters above their heads.
"What kind of rat is this? Why is its tail so short?" Feiqi was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had seen this creature. He tried hard to recall, ruled out "Master Hall" and "Road Demon", and found the answer in his memories of his previous life. The guys in front of him were more like bamboo rats that "you can eat when you find a reason", rather than "rats".
After a closer look, these "bamboo rats"'s eyes deteriorated severely, and there was no agile light in their white pupils. They crowded together, sniffed with their heads and noses, and then moved in a random direction. When they met companions who were not allowed to move away, they would bite with the teeth that protruded their lips. However, overall, these guys did not look dangerous, and they were even a little cute (or delicious).
There was indeed only a small amount of feces in the place where the bamboo rats lived in groups, and the smell did not leak out. After a closer look, the entrance between Feiqi and the bamboo rat was surrounded by black stones, which happened to constrain a magic circle. Feiqi knew that this kind of black stone could block the connection between the mortal world and the heavens, but for the first time he found that it could also restrain the magic circle. It was because of the gap in the black stone that Feiqi could vaguely feel the fluctuations of magic power.
Since Mom could fall down and climb up, there was no problem with Feiqi, who had the rope of the element of air. He gently hung himself down, avoided the scene of the murder where Mom was flattened, and used his feet to push a few fat bamboo rats away, and stood firmly on the ground. Sure enough, after he came down, the smell of the bamboo rat came to his nose, and the sour and smelly impact made people dizzy. Feiqi shook his head, pulled up his collar to cover his mouth and nose, and then found the nose block from his small bag, and then took it back to his recovery.
The bamboo rat wriggled and quickly climbed up and occupied Feich's feet. This chubby creature was quite heavy, and one was three or four pounds deep, and it was warm all over. Feich looked around and found that he was surrounded by hundreds of bamboo rats in an underground cave of 30 meters. Except for the hole above his head, Feich did not see any other entrances and exits at first sight, which was obviously unreasonable. Feich had to be careful if there were passages under his feet, or there were hidden secret doors in the surrounding walls.
Feiqi waved his staff, and the slight light illuminated the bamboo rat cave. The stones around him were indeed all black stones. They reflected the light back and generated a light spot on each flat surface, corresponding to the light of Feiqi's staff. As a result, countless planes around formed countless small light spots, which looked like a starry sky under the background of the dark stones.
Such a miracle is intoxicating, but it makes the bamboo rats panic. Although their eyesight is deteriorating and they may not see Feiqi, they seem to react to the changes in light and darkness. These fat guys rushed to the corner of the room, constantly stepping on Feiqi's feet, and sometimes biting a bite on his ankles. They can't bite the boots and pants, and the bamboo rats just use this method to tell Feiqi to get out of the way. So he controlled the rope of the air element and hung himself into the air.
"Where do these guys eat?" Feiqi used a rope to control his movement and searched the cave. Before finding the passage, he first found a hidden magic rune on a wall. It was the rune of the eleven Creator's former masters, and it was combined to mean "illumination". The mana fluctuations felt by Feiqi were escaping from this rune, which means it has been disrepair for a long time and will continue to consume during non-working periods. It is the same as the leakage of electricity.
"This rune spell looks very ancient!" Feiqi could find the problem at a glance. "It is a rune's luminous spell, and it's no longer needed! The goddess's luminous spell only requires four runes, and even folk spells will not exceed eight. When did this rune come from?"
At this moment, the old "electric leakage" rune actually lit up, which shows that magic power flows in it. The rune emits egg-yellow light, and then a yellow star-like universe was reflected on the black stone wall. The bamboo rats suddenly divided into two piles, huddled in two corners of the cave, and most of the ground was vacant. Feiqi scratched his head and put away the light of his staff.
When only one kind of light is left, the bamboo rats gathered again into a group. On the empty ground, the few feces of bamboo rats were clearly visible. Feiqi probably understood that the luminous runes may be some kind of domestication control system. The bamboo rats made way out of the cave, so the breeder could clean it. Thinking of this, Feiqi waved his staff and cast a spell to create an illusion curtain that projected the scene behind him into front of him, so that he could hide behind with peace of mind.
Soon a stone wall retreated back, then slid to the side, revealing the secret door. The secret door was next to the luminous rune. Even if it was not exposed, Feiqi would find it after a while. With the sound of light footsteps, a beautiful black-haired girl of about 1.6 meters came out of the secret door. Her skin was dark, and her short hair was gently bounced as she walked, looking playful and cute. However, her appearance was full of comics, and her nose was so small that it was almost invisible that it was paired with a pair of oversized black eyes, big and round and had no white eyes!
The girl is definitely not a human. Normal humans do not have that kind of eyes, and they will not have long legs that occupy half of the height! Wait, there are no feet at the end of the legs, and the slender calves directly poked on the ground, leaving a shallow and small round pit. The calves are thin and thick, and the waist is almost nothing. With a slightly wider shoulder and a relatively small head, it looks like they came out of another world of painting style. Feiqi frowned, as if there was no information about this creature in the memory of the "very knowledgeable" fork demon.
The girl was wrapped in black silk clothes, and then covered with brown leather shirts and shorts. Judging from the workmanship of clothing, she should live in a society with developed handicrafts, and her aesthetic views are very close to those of humans. The beautiful little girl held a broom and dustpan in her hand, sang a gentle and graceful tune, and started cleaning after she walked in.
At first, Feiqi could not understand the songs the little girl sang, but as he stared at the other party's soul fire, he gradually understood. It has to be said that the ability of the contract demon is very useful.
"I love my work, it is not too tired, it just doesn't smell good. Little girl, you have to remember to clean yourself well so that someone can love it. Oh, Fat Rat, how good it is if you are usually fragrant, just like on the dining table..."
It seems very clear that this is a place to raise bamboo rats. A smart race with art lives underground and is never known. But it is certain that they have souls and self-sufficiency to live, and they do not seem to be the kind of aggression and predatory race.
The little girl cleaned up lightly. A fragrance lit on her dustpan, which exuded a faint fragrance, which seemed to reduce the smell of bamboo rats. Moreover, the red light of the incense head could drive the bamboo rats away, so that she would not delay her cleaning. She hummed a song all the way and quickly cleared most of the ground. As she walked, she came directly below where Feiqi was hiding.
"Huh, why does something wrong?" The little girl raised her head, looked up with her dark round eyes, swept through Fitch, and saw a hole in the ceiling. "Oh! Why is it broken here? Oh, so many rats and rats were killed!"
It can be seen that the little girl's vision is just average, otherwise she would have seen a hole when entering the door. Feiqi looked at the ground, and the traces left by Mom were all stepped on by the bamboo rats that were crowded around, so the little girl had no idea that anyone had come.
She cleaned up the remains of the bamboo rat with a sad expression, and complained to the fat creatures hiding beside the trembling. "You are so stupid, don't you know how to hide? How meaningless is to be smashed to death like this! Is this a waste or understand? Alas... If it weren't for your cute and delicious portions, I would scold you hard like my mother scolds me!"
Feiqi held back his laughter and continued to observe while maintaining his spell. His entire field of view could bypass the secret door to see what was happening outside. A curved underground corridor extends from the door to both sides. The corridor was lit incense on the wall at any distance, and red light turned into a red cosmic starry sky in the black stone above his head. No wonder no bamboo rats would run out. They were most afraid of the red light, so they would not get close to the gate at all.
It can be seen that there are several similar secret doors in the corridor, with signs hanging at the door, and an ancient text is used on it, which should be traced back to the period of the Creator. Fortunately, the fork-road demon understands this text, and in my memory he once signed a contract with this text. "Fragrant Rat 42", this is the name of the room where Feiqi is located. Is there at least 41 such breeding rooms?
While Fitch was working hard to exhaust Hawkeye meditation and trying to look further away, the little girl finished cleaning. She stood under the hole, picked up the gravel on the ground and put it in her palm, as if thinking about something. "Maybe my mother will praise me, after all, I'm growing up!"
After she finished talking to herself, she held a smaller piece of gravel in her hands and put it beside her mouth, then puffed up her cheeks. Suddenly, countless white silks spurted out from her light red lips, wrapping the gravel to the gravel. Spider silk! Feiqi looked at the scene in front of her in surprise. The little girl spitted out spider silk and stuck it in the crack twice at the same time, so she fixed a piece of gravel to the gap. She nodded with satisfaction, bent down and was about to pick up the second piece, but found that the spider silk was breaking quickly.
"Oh, is it still not possible? Do you have to wait until you grow up to stick? I wanted my mother to praise it..." The little girl looked a little sad, her lower lips pouted forward, and her big eyes stared at the gravel that was about to fall. However, the spider silk on one side of the stone broke first, and the other side was standing on the ceiling, so it threw it to the side like a pendulum.
It happened to hit Feichi's illusion barrier, so the illusion formed ripples and swayed, and was immediately discovered.
"Huh? Huh! There's something!" The little girl pointed at the ceiling. "What's going on? This is..."
Feiqi had no choice but to remove the illusion, and then slowly landed with a rope of Qi element. He showed the most kind and safe smile, and spoke the little girl's words in the gentle and friendly voice: "Hello, I have no hostility, I just fell from the hole. I will compensate the crushed Xiangmao."
"Human-shaped male spider?" The little girl stared at Feiqi's Qi Elemental Rope. She obviously misunderstood something and suddenly became extremely excited. "I discovered it! This is mine! I am the luckiest! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
