Chapter 1943 The Tomb Guard Beast Appears

Cao Xi has always given everyone the impression that he is calm, calm, and wise, and will not panic when his life is in danger. Unexpectedly, he was so frightened when he saw a skeleton. Everyone immediately realized that something serious had happened, and they were all shocked and held their breath. Breathing, not daring to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing Cao Xi's inspection, secretly worried, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

Known enemies are not scary, but this kind of inexplicable enemy can cause great psychological pressure on people. The deceased was not killed by a human or a beast, so who could it be? Everyone looked at the plants and trees around them, with a look of solemnity in their vigilant eyes. Soldiers are not afraid of death, but they also have to know whose hands they will die at, right? This kind of inexplicable danger and unknown enemy is heart-wrenching.

"What's the situation? Say as much as you know. We are all brothers who have been through life and death. We have strong psychological qualities and have the right to know the truth. We don't have to worry about bearing the problem." Luo Zheng asked in a deep voice.

Cao Xi stood up with a solemn face, frowned and looked around, and suddenly rushed to the side, running as fast as flying, running for a few meters, stopped, squatted on the ground to check, Luo Zheng was startled, and quickly chased after him, only to see Cao Xi pointing at The mark on the ground said: "Look, these are footprints."

"Huh? It looks like the footprints of a small animal. Judging from the depth and width of the footprints, this animal shouldn't be very big. What did you find?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's just a kind of rat. It's called a corpse-eating rat in the tomb-robbing circles. In ancient times, nobles would be buried according to certain rules after their death. The burial objects differed from person to person. They were afraid of being disturbed after death, so they would keep tomb-guarding beasts. This kind of tomb-guarding beast also varies from person to person, one of them is the corpse rat, which is very terrifying." Cao Xi explained seriously, with a look of shock in his eyes.

"How scary is it?" Luo Zheng asked in a deep voice, becoming wary.

"The species of this rat is unknown. It has been fed corpses since childhood. After three generations, the ones born will only eat corpses and nothing else. It is said that this kind of rats can smell the smell of people from a long distance and come in pairs. , eat it clean and then return to the nest. Animals that live in groups only recognize the nest and will not migrate." Cao Xi explained in a deep voice.

"Can't deal with it?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.

"Rodents move like the wind, coming and going silently. Their teeth contain corpse venom. Once bitten, they will be poisoned to death immediately. There is no cure for the corpse venom. They can approach you quietly when you don't expect it and kill them quickly, even if you are discovered. Don't be afraid, this kind of animal comes in huge numbers every time." Cao Xizhen explained.

"Hiss?" Luo Zheng was shocked. The corpse poison was already terrifying. If there were a huge number of corpse rats and they came and went like the wind, how could we fight them? Buyou asked thoughtfully: "Are there any weaknesses?"

"This thing likes the shade and is afraid of fire. I don't know anything else about it. I only know it from the experience passed down by my ancestors. I have never encountered it before." Cao Xi said in a deep voice, and suddenly his face changed, and he said with surprise: "Corpse-eating rat Although it is scary, it also shows that my guess is correct. There is a mausoleum here, and it is not too far away."

"That makes sense." Luo Zheng responded casually, not caring whether there was a mausoleum or not. His mind was filled with the terror of corpse rats. If he couldn't find a way to deal with this thing, the road ahead would probably be difficult. Thinking of this, Luo Zheng stood up and looked at the brothers who were catching up behind him.

Everyone had clearly heard the conversation between the two through the earphones. Guishou took a step forward and reminded in a deep voice: "Since you are afraid of fire, then prepare more fire. We have a flamethrower and should be able to deal with it. I'm afraid there are too many of them. If they are surrounded from all sides, it will be difficult to deal with."

"Well, we can't give up the mission. Time is running out. We must hurry up as soon as possible. Guishou, you lead the people ahead to explore the road, bring the flamethrower, and be careful." Luo Zheng warned in a deep voice, his eyes couldn't help but glance into the distance, where the crowds The mountains are winding and continuous, and the sounds of various birds and animals can be heard from the dense woods, which is full of mystery and terror.

"Understood." Guishou agreed in a deep voice.

The troops moved forward again. The appearance of corpse rats made everyone realize the seriousness of the problem. This strange danger, strange enemies and strange fighting methods made everyone feel heavy. They watched the surroundings vigilantly. No one dared Without the slightest carelessness, Luo Zheng walked forward with Cao Xi and asked: "Besides fire, is there any other way to deal with this kind of animal?"

"I don't know. I can only pray that it can't climb trees so that everyone can still have a chance of survival. I didn't expect it to be a corpse-eating rat guarding the tomb. It seems that the identity of the person buried in the tomb here is not simple. This was once a battlefield, and the deceased Countless, providing a lot of food for these corpse rats, reproduction is not a problem, I estimate that the number of these corpse rats will not be small, we cannot be careless." Cao Xizhen reminded.

Luo Zheng nodded thoughtfully as an answer to Cao Xi. Cao Xi continued: "However, things are mutually reinforcing each other. Wherever there are corpse rats, there must be something to restrain them. Otherwise, this kind of thing will multiply too fast and cause a big disaster." Damn it, this is what the owner of the mausoleum doesn’t want to see, but he just doesn’t know what’s controlling the corpse rats here?”

"Is there such a thing?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise, as if he saw hope.

"Don't be too happy too early. This kind of restraint is also very terrifying. It will actively attack people and can even eat corpse rats. It shows that it is also a highly poisonous and powerful existence that is difficult to deal with." Xi reminded with a solemn expression.

"No matter, take it one step at a time." Luo Zheng said angrily: "Since there is no way to avoid it, let's fight. As soldiers, we have no retreat and will not retreat. When the time comes, we will act according to the opportunity and die."

"Boom, boom, boom!" Suddenly, there was a faint sound of explosion in the distance. It was not very obvious, but for everyone who has been fighting for a long time, this sound was very familiar and unmistakable. Everyone quickly hid in place, vigilant. Staring ahead, Luo Zheng also became alert and glanced at the mountain eagle not far away.

The mountain eagle nodded knowingly, quickly climbed up a big tree, stood on the tree crown and observed for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Behind the mountain, the view is blocked."

"The troops are advancing quickly, let's take a look." Luo Zheng shouted in a deep voice.

"Yes." The troops quickly accelerated. No one would come to this primitive forest. The sound of explosions was enough to indicate that there were people ahead and they were in danger. Whether it was good or bad, they had to rush up and check it out as soon as possible. Everyone marched in a hurry for about ten minutes. The explosion sound suddenly disappeared.

"Stand where you are!" Luo Zheng was shocked and secretly became vigilant. The absence of explosions meant two things. One side was eliminated or evacuated. Either way, it meant that the other side was very powerful. They could sneak up on them while they were still fighting. Now that the battle is over, if you rush forward, you will be exposed, putting everyone in danger.

"What should I do? Shall I take someone up to take a look?" The mountain eagle rushed up and asked in a low voice with a solemn face.
