Zu An quickly scanned the surrounding environment. This valley was not much different from other valleys. Except that the air was a little abnormally cool, but this was not a big problem. Some summer resorts were also as cool as this.
"Azu, what should we do next?" Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask.
"Let's stay here and don't go deep into the valley for the time being. The reaction of these strange rats is not quite right." Although he didn't see anything unusual in the valley, Zu An still felt that it was better to be cautious.
Ji Xiaoxi hummed, took out a water bottle from her small bag and took a sip. It was obvious that she was very tired from running for an hour just now.
After taking a sip, she suddenly reacted and handed the kettle over: "Do you want a drink?"
Zu An shook his head: "You have such a small kettle. If I take a few sips, it will be gone. You can drink it yourself."
Ji Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, my father specially asked a rune master to make this. Although it looks small, it can hold a lot of water, enough for us to drink."
"Space equipment!" Zu An was stunned. He took it and studied it. He couldn't see any difference. He tried to drink a few sips and found that there was an endless supply of water inside. He couldn't finish it.
Noticing that he was drinking from the bottle, Ji Xiaoxi's face turned red. She thought he would drink from a distance. Wouldn't this be indirect...
However, she still replied: "This is not considered a space device. It can only be used to store water. It cannot hold other things."
Zu An was immediately relieved. It seemed to be a castrated version of the space ring: "Is this kind of space equipment rare and only exists in legends?"
"It would be an exaggeration to only exist in legends, but it is indeed very rare. Only the top rune masters can make a small amount of space equipment, and the space inside is not large. The small ones may only be able to hold a few things, but the big ones can't hold much."
Pretend to be so big..." Ji Xiaoxi made a rough gesture with her hands.
About 1 cubic meter, Zu An estimated based on her gestures.
"Do you want to eat? My dad has prepared a lot for me." Ji Xiaoxi said as she took out various snacks, dry food, and even fruits from her small bag.
"Doraemon!" Zu An was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but pick up her bag and look over it to see how old this guy was and how he could hold so many things.
"My father asked someone to build this for me. This should be the kind of space equipment you just mentioned." When Ji Xiaoxi spoke, there was always a faint blush on her face, and she looked extremely cute with her white face rosy.
Zu An: "..."
I just said that space equipment is very rare, but you have two of them. Why is this natural and faint feeling of pretentiousness coming from you?
"This osmanthus and pine nut cake is from Xu Ji in the south of the city. It's delicious; this peach blossom cake is a specialty from the next county. If you don't like sweets, there are a lot of nuts here..." Ji Xiaoxi instantly put a lot of them on the table.
When she came out and introduced these snacks, her big eyes seemed to be shining.
Zu An was in a state of confusion: "Are you here to explore the secret realm or are you here for an outing?"
Ji Xiaoxi smiled sheepishly: "Actually, I didn't want to bring so many things, but I couldn't bear it. My dad was worried that I would have no food in the secret realm these days, so he stuffed so many things in my bag."
Zu An: "..."
I can't tell that that guy Ji Dentu is actually a maniac about doting on women.
By the way, why didn't the Chu family prepare anything for me? This gap is really sad. But it seems that Chu Chuyan didn't bring anything with him either. It may be that the Chu family has strict requirements on their children and wants them to come in and gain experience.
After thinking about it this way, I gradually felt relieved.
Seeing the expectant look in Ji Xiaoxi's eyes as she held up the pastry to herself, Zu An naturally found it hard to refuse. After eating a few pieces, his eyes lit up: "It tastes so good!"
The rats outside the valley suddenly became angry. What's going on? Our throats are dry from running. We have been chasing you for so long without even drinking water, and yet you are still having a picnic in front of us?
The fury value from the Golden-haired Monster Rat is +6+6+6+6...
Zu An's eyes suddenly lit up. Although the anger points contributed by each of these golden-haired monster rats were very small, they could not stand up to the large number. Together they were extremely impressive.
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still and ran directly to the mouth of the valley. He stared at the rats not far away with big eyes and small eyes. Then he became angry and slowly stretched out his fingers to tickle them:
"You...come here!"
Ji Xiaoxi, who was behind her, blinked her big eyes. She didn't understand why the other party wanted to provoke the rats. Moreover, his current appearance and tone made her want to hit him even when she looked at him.
Although they couldn't understand what he said, the sarcasm in his tone and actions still made the golden-haired rats commotion.
The fury value from the Golden-haired Monster Rat is +6+6+6+6...
Many of them couldn't help but tried to rush over, but after a few steps they backed away as if they had some concerns.
Seeing the rapidly increasing anger level in the background, Zu An couldn't help but feel happy, so he kept repeating the action just now.
The fury value from the Golden-haired Monster Rat is +6+6+6+6...
Finally, one of the rats couldn't stand it anymore and rushed towards him. The bare back of its head looked very eye-catching.
With the leader taking the lead, the others could no longer hold back and rushed forward one after another. As they ran, many strange rats were ready to launch their thorns.
"I'm going to take off my clothes."
Zu An's expression changed, he turned around and ran away. Seeing Ji Xiaoxi still eating there stupidly, he hurriedly pulled her over and ran away.
"Hey, my preserves~" She just took it out and was still reluctant to eat it. Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but look back, obviously feeling quite distressed.
"I'll buy it to compensate you after we leave the secret realm." Zu An said quickly.
"You said the same thing last time you borrowed my handkerchief, but you haven't returned it to me yet." Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but muttered.
Zu An smiled coquettishly, he had really forgotten about this matter: "Next time we will pay for it together, we will pay for it together."
The group of golden-haired monster rats chased into the valley. Seeing that nothing happened, they became more courageous one by one, squeaking and chasing after Zu'an. This human being is so annoying, he must be chewed clean all over, including his bones.
Only by breaking it into pieces can the hatred in your heart be relieved!
With the help of the complex terrain in the valley, it was much easier for the two of them to avoid this time than on the plains. However, there were just too many of these golden-haired monster rats, and each of them had a good sense of smell. No matter how secretly the two of them hid, they would not be able to escape.
How long will it take for it to be discovered, and then more companions will be summoned to besiege it.
The two of them could only keep fighting guerrillas and were chased in a panic. Finally, they were forced to have no choice but to hide in a big tree.
But it didn't take long before they were still discovered, and soon more and more golden-haired monster rats gathered.
They first climbed up the web from the tree trunk, but Zu'an was at a high altitude, and the tree trunk space was limited, so it was difficult for the golden-haired monster rats to take advantage of their numbers, so they basically used one sword at a time.
The leader, the golden-haired rat king, stood on a rock and squeaked for a while. Then the companions changed their strategy and stopped climbing. Instead, they gnawed at the roots of the big tree. As long as the tree fell, the rats would
Able to swarm them and tear them to pieces.
Hearing the sound of chewing wood from below, Zu An also got a little angry: "Xiao Xi, do you have any poison or something like that to poison them all?"
Remember that in Chinese medicine, poisons are not divided into different families. Her medical skills are so good, so she must be good at using poisons. "Yes, yes." Ji Xiaoxi hesitated.
Zu An: "???"
It was just a casual question at first, but I didn't know she really had it. Since these poisons can be turned away, why were we being chased like lost dogs just now?
As if seeing his doubts, Ji Xiaoxi whispered: "I just don't think they made any big mistakes. They live well here. It's us who disturbed them. If I poisoned them, I would be very sorry for them."
.”
Zu An: "..."
This girl was so kind, so kind that he was a little curious about how she survived to such a large age in such a dangerous world.
"What will we do if the trees fall down and we are eaten by them?" Zu An asked.
Ji Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment: "Maybe they will retreat later. If the situation becomes overwhelming, I will... poison them again."
Knowing her temperament, Zu An didn't want to force her anymore. Instead, he thought that if things went wrong later, he would summon a strong wind to teleport a certain distance at the moment the tree fell, and he should be able to temporarily escape from these rats.
Surrounded, as for whether you can escape in the follow-up, it is up to fate.
Neither of them noticed that the body of the golden-haired monster rat that had just been killed fell to the ground, and the blood on its body penetrated into the ground at an extraordinary speed, without even a drop spreading.
After a while, a strange golden-haired rat was gnawing at the roots of a tree, and suddenly let out a shrill scream.
Zu An was stunned and looked down hurriedly. He saw a bone-white palm piercing through its back, and blood flowed through the bones, giving it a strange and weird feeling.
At this moment, bursts of screams rang out, and many golden-haired monster rats had the same experience, with their entire bodies penetrated by bone-white hands one after another.
"Where did these things come from?" Zu An was dumbfounded. The scene in front of him seemed to be in a ghost movie.
"Brother Azu, I'm a little scared." Ji Xiaoxi subconsciously hid behind Zu An and tightly grasped his sleeves with both hands.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Xi, I will protect you." Zu An comforted him. In fact, the scene in front of him made him a little flustered, but women naturally bring inexplicable courage to men, so how could he do it in front of a little girl?
Showing timidity.
He looked carefully and finally figured out what was going on.
It turns out that those skeletal palms did not appear out of thin air, but stretched out from the ground.
Not only near the big tree, everywhere visible to the naked eye, the soil on the ground began to loosen, and hands stretched out.
"How fucking many are there!" Zu An couldn't help but swallowed.
Those golden-haired strange rats exploded in an instant. They didn't bother to chew the roots of the trees, and they all ran away. However, not long after they escaped, they were caught by the bone-white hands sticking out from the ground. The strange rats screamed. Unfortunately,
The skeleton that seemed to be about to fall apart contained huge strength, making it impossible for them to break free.
Soon skeletons emerged from the ground one by one, but it is not accurate to say that they are skeletons, because these are not completely white bones, and there is still nearly half of the flesh and blood on the body, and there are even faint traces of clothes on the body.
However, these clothes all looked quite shabby, as if they had been buried underground for too long.
It would be more accurate to describe them as zombies or mummies.
At this moment, I saw the zombies grabbing the golden-haired monster rats in their hands, putting them directly to their mouths and chewing them. In an instant, blood spattered everywhere, the golden-haired monster rats screamed and chewed flesh, and the whole valley immediately changed.
It became like purgatory.
