The Godsfall Chronicles

Chapter 41 Traps

The blue sky is cloudless, the desert is snowy, the golden sun is pouring on the desert like fire, the gravel cracks in high temperatures, and the earth is hot and baked with large areas of tortoise.

This heat and brightness are many times stronger than the old times, and the body mass of most creatures of the old times is unbearable, but those whose weaker lives have become wild bones over thousands of years, and who can still survive, are often completely adapted to new environments.

The mad dog roared like a beast, chopping two knives out.

Two giant rats were cut in half instantly, draining a lot of malodorous liquid from the cut flesh.

We just got rid of this one, and another one came up next to us.

The mad dog sideways avoided the giant rat madness, and the cloud eagle rushed in the air with agility, poking directly into the giant rat's head with a triple prism tube. It had not been possible to pull it out again in time.

“Careful! ”

“Acid rats again! ”

Hyog was hired to ride the Bigfoot back quickly from the front, followed by a bunch of giant rats, one of which was relatively small in size, but a fat, oily, green fur mutant rat, if carefully identified in the mouse, was still conspicuous.

Acid mice are a special mutant rat.

This mutant rat has several acid sachets, which can be collected and stored normally. When fighting is needed, the acid can be ejected to attack a few meters of target. The most troublesome thing is that acid rats have more than just acid sachets. They have a large amount of acid glands in their skin and armor tissue. Cutting one off with a common weapon can pronounce life and sleep, while spilling acid acid blood can cause enormous damage to people.

One of those hedgehogs that was scrapped yesterday was this guy!

Pfft!

Two acids ejected.

The cloud hawk and the mad dog hurriedly dodged. Just two of the murdered giants were hit by acid. The flesh and skin of the giant rat was completely dissolved in the "slurping” sound, leaving only the bones exposed, but soon the bones also softened and melted.

The mad dog shouted, "Get rid of him! ”

The cloud hawk threw the right-hand steel pipe into his left hand and pulled the revolver from his waist. When the second attack was about to go off, he shot directly into the mouth of the acid rat. This deadly attack immediately caused the fat giant rat to fall soft, and then the entire body began to dissolve, and a great deal of acid poured out around it, leaving the ground corroded by the raw.

Acid rats were killed.

Crazy dogs no longer have any concerns. Two machetes cut the vegetables, instantly chopping all four giant rats into pieces of meat. Wu La also rushed out of the side to help, and the giant rats were finally wiped out.

The cloud hawk wipes the blood off the triple prism pipe.

At this point, Cook came riding the Bigfoot Bird: “The cunning fox boss found a cave, the surrounding area has been cleaned up, let's hide inside first. ”

Crazy dogs, cloud eagles followed Cook to the cave.

Everyone seemed to have been through a battle, and several of them were already injured and looked very naughty.

The mad dog's accumulation of anger erupted completely, he kicked a big stone, scolded and scolded: “This intelligence deviation is outrageous, say just one or two hundred rats, there are more than 500 of them here! ”

These giant rats are not only powerful, they are several times higher than intelligence alone.

The exact quantity cannot be estimated at this time.

The eagle leaned a little tired against the hole, checked his revolver, used three bullets in total, filled them one by one, swing them back into the nest, and inserted them in the waist.

The business here is to have a good view. A dozen kilometers of land can be found in the eyes, and the earth is like a large centipede tangled around each other, forming a large number of short ridges.

Within sight, there are a large number of strange buildings and collapsed statues, one of which is particularly striking, a short mountain that seems to have been cut off by a giant blade, just at a smooth cut, but with a dozen meters long spire, very suddenly sloping “long” out of the rock.

The overall rust of the all-metal spire is very strong. It doesn't resemble the architecture of the old era, whether it's material style or feel, but it looks like it's been moved from another world to live.

“Strange?” A big man walks over like a dog bear: “It's a typical overlapping terrain of space, and I heard a long time ago that we lived in a world that suddenly overlapped with many worlds for unknown reasons, colliding with each other, destroying ancient civilizations, changing terrain, and letting a lot of strange things come into our world, and all these things that grew out of stone were left behind at that time, so it looked so strange. ”

“You'll know that?” The cloudhawk looked at him with suspicion: "You're making this up! ”

“Huh, when I was on a mission two years ago, I met an old group of people who called themselves Explorers, and they said all this, and I don't know if it's true!” Cook lit a cigarette and sat down next to him, taking out another one and passing it to him, “the world's all messed up, who cares! Want one? ”

With experience, this little sip, he was still choking: “Cough... Explorer? Who are they? ”

“I don't know, a bunch of retarded brains, looking all day for some truth and truth, wanting to revive a lost civilization, but it seems like they're pretty powerful in the wilderness.” Cook shook his head and threw another kettle at him, "nothing strange about anything in the wilderness. ”

“Yeah, now everybody has it! ”

The eagle opened the kettle and smelled it. When it was sure it was really water, take a big sip and let the cool feel penetrate into your body.

“By the way, you did a good job, didn't expect you to be so good at it. ”

The cloudhawk didn't have the guts to say, "I've been beaten up by you guys for a month, shouldn't I learn something? ”

Cook Haha laughed out loud: "You son of a bitch hid deep enough to go back and try it. ”

The cloudhawk hummed, “I'm afraid I'll beat you to the teeth. ”

“Have the balls, I remember that, you wait! ”

“Everybody, come here!” The cunning fox gathering began to announce: "This mission is complicated, we do not know how many mice there are. In the current situation, about 400 to 500 are indispensable, and this place is too big to be explored blindly. ”

Mercenaries scold and scold.

“Did you come up with an idea?” Crazy dogs are impatient to say, "We can't fight so many giants! ”

The cunning fox is the first captain of the Yellow Springs mercenary team and the main brain of the Yellow Springs mercenary. In general, when the problem is encountered, the cunning fox can solve it.

“In the dumbest way! ”

“The stupidest way? ”

“Twenty-five of us are perfectly capable of controlling zero casualties to complete the battle as long as there are no errors or sudden outbreaks in the battle in no more than forty cases of giant rats.” The cunning fox paused for a few seconds to continue: “I've seen the terrain around here, several ridges are bare and there's not much to cover up. We have plenty of water, and regular giant meat can be eaten directly. Therefore, we are fully capable of fighting a war of consumption. From now on, we will no longer explore, we will only hunt down single giant rats. If we encounter large groups of rats, we will try to separate them, then create traps to lure small groups of giants into a war of annihilation. Step by step, steady and steady, slowly go deeper, and finally pull out the Mouse King! ”

A small group, a small group, slowly consuming the quantity, hundreds of giant rats almost killed, then find a way to take care of the Mouse King? That's the stupidest way!

But effective is enough!

A giant rat is a low-level life, and if it is powerful, it is also a low-level animal. Humans cannot fight animals with barbaric power. Of course, the greatest advantage, the role of the brain, must be fully exploited.

A cloud hawk strikes an arrears, which seems to be a bit busy.

Mercenaries are the elite in the wilderness, highly skilled and powerful in their actions. A cunning fox strategy has been defined and everyone starts to act immediately.

Wu La plays an important role in finding the rats with his nose and the mercenaries destroy them in batches by diverting them to lure them into traps.

One day down.

Hunting 100 giant rats in total.

These rat meats alone are worth a fortune.

Not a single mercenary was killed or injured, and the battle was a great success!

Continuing the next day, however, the cloudhawk found that the nearby giant rats had noticeably decreased and that the day came down to kill about 50 of them. On the third day, there was no shadow of a giant rat.

Mercenaries are a little strange.

But I didn't really think about it.

Probably a giant with a territorial nature, and when one area is hunted clean, the others don't have time to replenish it, so they form a vacuum zone, which is not uncommon in the wilderness. Now that the giant rats have been killed, the mercenaries negotiated a decision and began to penetrate a little bit to clear the rest of the area.

“Wu La! ”

The cloud hawk took Ulla, and Ulla ran ahead, and more than two dozen mercenaries traveled in the bald wilderness.

Wu La followed his sense of smell for over an hour and suddenly stopped in front of a canyon where he barked.

“There's a bunch of giants in here.” The cloud hawk cloth towel is covered with a face, wearing a goggle, holding a steel pipe in his hand, a shotgun behind him, wearing a leather coat, but there is a mold that looks like a mercenary, “about 20 to 30. ”

The mad dog didn't even think, “What are you waiting for? Go in and fix them! ”

The cloud hawk took a look inside the canyon, and the canyon looked so deep and narrow, I don't know why, there was a bad feeling in my mind: “Why do I feel wrong? ”

Crazy dogs don't understand what the Eagle says: "Wu La's nose never goes wrong! ”

“The four of you stay here and report anything immediately.” The cunning fox also believes in Ulla's judgment, but with his cautious character, he still leaves four skilful members in charge of sentry, "we went in and quickly decided. ”

Twenty or thirty giants is nothing to these people.

This canyon is quite deep, but as the eagle follows the people deeper and deeper, his heart feels worse and worse. He always feels something is wrong, but he can't say it.

Finally, to the deepest part of the canyon.

“What's going on?” The mad dog looked at the empty place and a dark, ugly face sank. “Did Ulla really make a mistake with her nose? ”

It's empty, it's full of rocks, and there's no road ahead.

Don't say giant rats, half ghosts don't.

That's impossible!

As soon as the eagle found something, he rushed over and pulled the rock away with a steel pipe. When he saw something buried in it, his face was white.

Other mercenaries walked up and looked at them, all colorful, because the rocks were all rat hair and manure.

Wu La's nose is indeed correct.

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

Both cunning foxes and mad dogs stare at the strange scene.

Only Cook, the nervous mercenary, didn't seem to feel the stiffness. Instead, he laughed. “Don't tell me, it was the giant rat who set us all up on purpose, hahahahaha...”

He only laughed half the time and didn't.

He's the only one laughing!

He's embarrassed!

The cloudhawk didn't find it funny at all. There was a chill in his back. Although he had experienced countless fears, this time it was different because he had a terrible thought in his mind...

These damn rats really set a trap and ended up cheating on all the humans?!
