Chapter 27 Traces of the Rat Man
"stop!"
In the sewer dotted with the fluorescent light, Thorne walked to the corner of an intersection, suddenly stopped, his eyes slightly condensed and shouted.
Although the players didn't understand what it meant, they did not object and did everything honestly.
Under the leadership of Thorne, the group avoided many dangers.
Walked in the complex sewer for nearly an hour.
These various intersections that are as chaotic as a maze.
Except for Thorne, they basically lost their sense of cognition in the direction.
If you fall behind at this time, you are likely to be trapped in the sewer and then act as rations for mice.
"What's wrong?" Andrea walked to Thorne's side with her mouth and nose lightly covered her mouth and asked in a low voice.
After a series of changes that happened tonight, she found that the merciless ranger in front of her who once slaughtered players was not so difficult to get along with.
Thorne's impression of bloodthirsty in her heart gradually faded.
Andrea believes that there must be some misunderstanding between them, after all, the dead players are not good people.
Feeling Andrea's scent of wind, Thorne moved his footsteps gently, and then said in a deep voice: "I have found the traces of the rat man. I may encounter an enemy next time, so be alert!"
When everyone heard this, their faces changed, and then they all held the weapons in their hands tightly and immediately looked around carefully.
After Thorne finished speaking, he squatted down and checked the traces of movement around him.
As a ranger, Thorne's tracking ability is undoubtedly excellent.
What's more, in order to obtain the ability to cast magic, he believed in a god who was known as the tracking master, and directly improved his tracking ability by one level again.
Even if he encounters a ranger at the hero level, his tracking ability will not be too much.
Although the ranger can be like the druid, and his perception will naturally gain the ability to cast divine magic spells, Thorne's perception attribute is only 17 points. It is very difficult to understand divine magic with his own abilities.
So he believed in a natural god, and after a special perception ceremony, he had the ability to perform divine magic by spending a considerable amount of money.
Thorne looked at the originally blurry footprints on the ground, and it gradually became clear in his eyes.
It is the footprints of rat man and fierce rat!
And there are quite a lot of them!
Thorne looked at the intersection at the corner and felt a slump.
Thorne once came to the sewer to eliminate the bandits of the Dead Rat Gang.
This is one of the trial tasks given to him by the old man who taught him the Nine Swords.
With his powerful concealment ability and tracking characteristics in the shadow, he had almost all the rats and violent rats in this area cleaned up by him in nearly a month.
Now, the traces of the rat man and the fierce rat have been discovered again. From the clarity of the footprints, Thorne can tell that the other party has not left for a long time.
If it were him, he would not be worried at all. He could easily pass through without being discovered, but today he led a group of players.
Except for Trundall and Andrea who have reached the extraordinary level, all other players are at levels 2 to 3.
It is difficult to pass through without any casualties.
Looking at these poor players, Thorne still couldn't bear it.
The rats are all a group of cunning beast-turned people. Their talented profession is wanderers. Their favorite attack method is to launch sneak attacks hidden in the dark.
When you realize that the battle is not good for you, it will quickly change into a giant rat form to escape, attracting the enemy to the traps they have arranged in advance.
These evil and cunning rats never have a head-on conflict with people.
Thorne knows these guys very well.
At this time, their location was already at the junction of the lower city and the outer city. If the corner ahead was not the sign of rat man, it should be the safest passage in the entire underground area.
Because other places are either inhabited by evil wizards or wandering with unknown undead creatures, it is not a good choice.
Only this is the safest shortcut, but from the messy rat footprints and fierce rats on the ground, it can be seen that this area has been occupied by new rat people again.
Then if you want to pass through here, you will not be able to avoid fighting with the Rat Man.
"You guys rest here first, I'll go ahead to check." Thorne watched his footprints disappear towards the corner intersection, pondered for a moment, and then said to everyone.
It is obviously unrealistic to return to the original road from other intersections, but he is not worried about the road conditions at all. The unknown evil creatures that exist are the real existences that are afraid of.
If you accidentally encounter a group of evil gods' secret strongholds, it will be too late to escape, and even your soul may be tortured by these cultists and then sacrificed to the evil gods.
"Then be careful." Andrea said softly.
Thorne glanced at the other party with some surprise, then nodded and walked towards the corner intersection.
But when Thorne was about to step into the intersection, he immediately retracted his steps.
Because the footprints on the ground, which were originally very messy, suddenly became very strange when they were about to approach the intersection.
From these footprints, Thorne can find that when they enter the passage, they all enter neatly and orderly.
There will be evil when things happen abnormally. Based on Thorne's experience, it is naturally easy to judge the reason.
There is a trigger trap in the channel!
In addition to the limbs, the human form of rats has a head, trunk and tail the same as that of rats, and is smaller than that of humans.
From the careful footprints on the ground, Thorne can find that the trigger criteria for these traps should be mainly based on adult weight.
Although Thorne is a half-elves and is slightly thinner than ordinary humans, he doesn't want to joke about his life.
There was once a player adventure group exploring the dungeon, because the path ahead was a half-ling wanderer. In a narrow passage, the half-ling wanderer passed safely after confirming that there were no traps.
Then several teammates were left behind, but the others were human players, so they instantly triggered a very hidden magic trap in the channel.
Except for the last warrior with a slightly ink-like movement, the others were all shot into hornets by the crossbow hidden in the dark grid, which was a terrible sight.
After this incident, the player team avoided the halfling wanderer.
Even if other wanderers are pitting, they will be the ones who kill him. The halfling wanderer makes a mistake like a team-killing engine.
Thorne looked at the messy footprints on the ground, walked forward a few more steps, and then sniffed hard. Suddenly, a strong smell was sucked into his nose, making him feel very uncomfortable.
But it was not without effect. He also smelled a trace of acidic liquid.
There is a very likely situation in the channel with strong acid traps!
The strong acid trap is one of the most deadly traps!
As long as you touch a little, your skin will be corroded in an instant. If you contaminate too much, you will be surprised to find that half of your body is melting in the sound of sizzling sounds at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the wanderer who is best at dismantling this kind of trap doesn't want to easily provoke it. If you make a mistake, you will end up losing your life.
Strong acid traps are divided into two types: magic traps and physical traps. The front is to arrange a magic device and then connect a trigger device.
The latter is to install the extracted strong acid on the trigger device, and spray the strong acid out after being touched by someone.
Obviously, rat people do not have the ability to arrange magic traps.
