1546: C1546 A Watercourse

C1546 A Watercourse

Shen Yinbing had already gotten used to life and death.

Too many setbacks and tribulations had tempered her nerves even more than other girls and many men. Naturally, she was not afraid of mice, and when a mouse tried to scare her, she would flatten it with her foot.

But when a mouse is as big as a pig — no matter how brave she is, she will be afraid.

Some things, once they become completely beyond the limits of what human thought can accept, become fear.

At least, Shen Yinbing was afraid now, especially after hearing Gao Fei say that there might be many of these rats in the tunnel.

These rats the size of pigs should be here to guard this secret passage.

Is Gao Fei scared?

Shen Yinbing felt that he would not be afraid. Even if he was, he had to pretend that he was not, because he was a man. The only man in the room, he had to protect Wolfmaster Shen.

"I'm not afraid of these things. As long as they can be killed, there's nothing to be afraid of."

As if he knew what Shen Yinbing was thinking, Gao Fei smiled calmly. He wrapped his arm around her waist and used a little bit of strength.

"You'd better not be afraid, or it'll be terrible."

Shen Yinbing struggled for a while and seriously asked, "Mr. Gao, can you not hug me so tightly? Let me remind you. Right now, I am someone else's fiancée. Aren't you afraid that my fiancé will come and fight you to the death after finding out? "

"Bullshit." "Let's go."

Gao Fei cursed. Just as he was about to let go of her, he heard a lot of clear running sounds coming from both sides of the tunnel: light, quick, and powerful, just like a hound hunting a hare.

Gao Fei's expression changed. He suddenly pulled Shen Yinbing behind him and held the Golden Snake Sword horizontally in front of him.

Shen Yinbing also heard this sound: there were countless pig-like mice gathering over here.

Gao Fei would definitely be able to take care of a big mouse.

But what about a dozen of them?

If they attacked both of them at the same time, even if Gao Fei could protect himself from being bitten to death, could he protect Shen Yinbing?

Shen Yinbing was scared. She wrapped her arms around Gao Fei's waist and said in a trembling voice, "Don't leave me behind. Die! We will die together!"

"Tsk, do I really want to be a pair of Lovers with you? "Hey, can you stop hugging me? You're someone who has a fiance, so you have to learn how to behave yourself!"

As Gao Fei said this, he stretched out his left hand to cover Shen Yinbing behind him.

"Squeak!"

In the darkness in front of the passageway, a shriek sounded, followed by a gust of fierce wind. A rat pounced on it.

Shen Yinbing also let out a shriek under her extreme fear.

She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of being eaten by rats.

"Don't scream!"

While Jack was shouting, the Golden Snake Sword in his right hand pierced upwards, facing the big rat that suddenly appeared in the light of the Intense Light's flashlight.

The big mouse that was in the middle of the air, suddenly let out a squeak the moment Gao Fei's sword just pierced its fur. Gao Fei's fat body suddenly twisted and actually turned slightly in the air.

Gao Fei's sword point made a long cut on the rat's body as it jumped at high speed.

However, because of the angle, the rat's wound was not heavy, and was not fatal at all. At most, it only left a shallow cut on the rat's body.

However, the speed of the rat's pounce didn't slow down at all. It flashed past Gao Fei's eyes, and its target was the dead rat.

Did you see the hungry dog pounce on a piece of meat bone?

This very ferocious rat completely ignored Gao Fei and the other two. It also ignored the cuts made on its body by the Golden Snake Sword, and only pounced on the dead mouse with a ferocious glint in its eyes. It then opened its mouth and bit down on the intestines that flowed out.

It was eating its companion's body.

It pounced over quickly, not to kill Gao Fei and his partner, but to snatch away its companion's corpse.

After years of living underground, the rat's eyesight had long adapted to the darkness, and its sense of smell had also become more sensitive, especially towards the reaction to blood, it became surprisingly fond of Gao Fei. When the rat's belly was cut open by Gao Fei, it smelled something new from afar and rushed over without a care for anything else.

The reason why they came here was to steal something to eat, but they wouldn't be able to get it if they were late. When Gao Fei and co. opened their mouths wide and stared at the rat that was gnawing on their companion's food, another black shadow, mixed with strong wind, jumped out from the darkness in front of the passageway.

This time, Gao Fei ignored it.

The rat definitely saw Gao Fei and the other two, but it didn't care about them. It just pounced on the dead rat.

The rat that was eating suddenly turned its body like a dog protecting its food after one of its brethren pounced on it. It opened its mouth wide, revealing its long, bloody teeth and bit towards it while squeaking and growling.

The second mouse heavily crashed into it. Two pig-like mice rolled on the ground and started to fight with each other.

However, they didn't fight for too long, because the third mouse quickly appeared and directly pounced on the dead mouse, disdainfully ignoring their fight.

And then there was the fourth and the fifth — and when the sixth rat appeared from behind, the two understood that this was not the time to fight, and that they had to hurry and grab the food, or else the other rats would be taken advantage of.

In less than half a minute, no less than ten rats had pounced on him, biting at each other and roaring at each other for corpses of their own kind. Two of them even bit on a piece of intestines and yanked it backwards, which snapped into two pieces with a bang.

"Ugh!"

Stunned at the scene in front of her, Shen Yinbing couldn't take it anymore. Just as she was about to vomit, Gao Fei reached out his hand to cover her mouth, carried her and quickly ran forward.

The feeling of not being able to vomit after her mouth had been covered was unbearable, and Shen Yinbing began to struggle.

"If you're not afraid that those rats will be attracted by your vomit and become their food, then just puke!"

Gao Fei let go of her mouth and whispered into her ear.

Shen Yinbing immediately gritted her teeth.

Although it was hard to breathe when one's stomach violently twitched, it was still better than trying to attract the rats over.

"Squeak, squeak!"

"Swish, swish!"

"Crack, crack!"

Screams, tearing sounds, and the sound of bones breaking would soon be left behind by the two of them. After turning a corner, they finally disappeared.

"Alright, alright, let me rest for a while."

Shen Yinbing leaned against the wall of the alleyway. Her face was pale, and she had no strength left in her body.

After Gao Fei saw that she was not feeling well, he gently patted her back and asked with concern, "Do you feel better?"

"No, I wanted to vomit. It was too, too disgusting just now."

Shen Yinbing raised her hand to cover her mouth. Her cheeks bulged like a fish out of water.

Turning his head to take a look, Gao Fei said: "Then just puke. Hurry up and leave after puking."

The distance between them and the rats was only a few hundred meters. Even if Shen Yinbing's vomit would attract them, they would have already run far away by then.

"Oh."

Shen Yinbing replied with an "oh". She suddenly pulled Gao Fei's shirt and lowered her head with a "wow"...

Gao Fei looked at her speechlessly and said with great concern: "In the future, the best way to eat is to check to see if there is an expiration date in order to avoid diarrhea."

"I feel much better."

Shen Yinbing wiped her mouth and raised her head to let out a long breath.

Gao Fei took off his black vest, bundled it up, and threw it out.

"I'm sorry, but I'll give you a new one when I get there."

Shen Yinbing leaned against the wall of the alley and asked, "What do you think those rats eat to grow so big?"

Wiping his stomach, Gao Fei said, "Look at your feet."

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Yinbing looked down and was stunned for a moment. Then, she opened her mouth and was about to scream.

Gao Fei covered her mouth in time and used the hand that just wiped her stomach: "Sis, can we not be so shocked? I think you should be very calm."

"Take your hand away, it smells so bad!"

Shen Yinbing jumped into Gao Fei's arms.

When she looked down, she saw that she was standing on a few bones.

White bones were scattered all over the ground. Most of them were from pigs, sheep, cows, and there was even a human skeleton.

After Gao Fei turned around the corner, he saw a phosphorescent light flashing on the ground. It was like a ghost flame, it was huge.

It was a dead end a dozen meters ahead. Here, it should be the dining room of those mice. At the very back, there were two rabbit-sized rats fighting over the vest that Gao Fei threw out.

"Wrong road."

Gao Fei took Shen Yinbing's flashlight and shone it towards the left.

Faintly, he could see that there were other passageways there as well.

"Hurry, hurry up and leave this place, I really can't take it anymore."

Shen Yinbing swallowed her saliva with difficulty, grabbed Gao Fei's wrist and ran over.

This time she ran ahead, and just as she reached the left side of the alley, she leaned forward and made a splashing sound. Below her feet was water.

The water was not very deep, knee-deep, but it did not reflect light. This was because there was a layer of moss, seaweed, and something like dirty oil floating on the surface of the water.

"Guess if there's a water mouse, or a water snake, or a leech that can eat strange fish?"

Gao Fei bent down to pick up a scattered bone and threw it forward.

The bones hit the surface of the water, rippling what was floating on it, and when the flashlight shone on it, the water began to shine and shine for dozens of meters. It was a long channel, as if there were no end to it, and there were not only grasses and things on the surface, but also dead fish and the like.1

The water was still, a dead channel.

However, Shen Yinbing knew that the more serene the surface of the water was, the more unavoidable the danger would be. On top of that, due to the girl's dislike of stagnant water, she immediately grabbed Gao Fei's arm and returned to the tunnel.

However, Gao Fei looked ahead, shook his head and said, "That's right, this is the way to the ancient tomb. There's no road ahead, and on the right is the rat's dining room. If those people want to go to the ancient tomb, they must go this way. "

Shen Yinbing shook the seaweed on her feet and said, "That's impossible. They went in the same way they came out. Aren't they afraid of getting hurt by the things you said?"

Gao Fei held her wrist, looked at the sky above the alley, and said: "Look carefully, can you find something different?"

"What's different? "It's the passageway..."

Shen Yinbing had only finished half of her sentence when she noticed something different. Every two meters or so, there would be two parallel circular holes arranged in a orderly manner.

Gao Fei started to speak: "If I'm not wrong, the circular hole can descend the rope and then connect with the iron bridge at the bottom of the water. That way, it will form a pontoon."
