A Brazilian rainforest black-tailed scorpion crouched cautiously among the dead leaves, motionless. The thick scorpion tail was raised high, and the sharp tail spines shone with a dazzling cold light in the sun.
Three rats wearing green vests held wooden forks in their paws, forming a triangular formation with their slender tails wrapped around their waists. They stared at the prey in front of them with stern eyes, ready for the attack.
The confrontation lasted several seconds.
The tail of the black-tailed scorpion swayed slightly, and the mouse standing in the north position squeaked, then raised its wooden fork and stabbed the black-tailed scorpion. The scorpion's tail stabbed the mouse in the north position like lightning, but it failed to guard against the mouse in the north position.
The mouse just made a false shot, rolled on the spot, and ran away.
At the same time, the two rats standing in the southeast and southwest corners seized the opportunity and swarmed up. One grabbed the black-tailed scorpion's tail in the middle, and the other grabbed the black-tailed scorpion's head, and held it firmly in place.
land.
After the black-tailed scorpion struggled wildly for a few seconds, the first rat that came over stabbed it hard in the head with a fork, and finally died. The whole process only lasted less than half a minute.
Cut off the tail of the black-tailed scorpion, collect its large claws, and put the trophies into the small bag carried on the back. The three mice held up their forks and rushed towards the next opponent. One was a foot-long black scorpion.
Centipede.
The black cat squatted on the tree, staring intently at the chaotic battlefield below, sighing inwardly.
Yes, the battlefield.
The battle between mice and scorpions that he just saw was not a special case. In the open space not far from the black cat, there was a fierce battle. Similar to the battle between the three mice and the black-tailed scorpion, in this area
They are everywhere on the battlefield.
It's just that unlike the well-trained green-clothed rats who fight more and less, their opponents are a group of black bugs that behave chaotically and fight without any structure, including centipedes, scorpions, toads, etc. So although the number of bugs is
There are many, and they seem to be endless, but they are always suppressed by the small number of rats, and they are beaten dizzy.
After just a few minutes of observation, the black cat came to his senses. The following scene should be related to the 'Five poisons breed after the black tide' that Professor Li mentioned in the Potions class some time ago. Those insects that the mice were killing were the wizards.
The five poisons in common sense concepts.
As for why these rats are having trouble getting along with the five poisonous insects, Zheng Qing actually knows a little bit about the inside story.
The last time Dingdong's ears reported to Zheng Qing through Fox Five that it saw a faceless monster, Zheng Qing took Jiang Yu to find it to learn about the situation. At that time, Dingdong's ears were catching these poisonous insects. But they are silent today.
Compared with the bugs seen in the forest, the poisonous bugs Ding Dong Er caught on campus that night were much smaller in size and quantity.
Perhaps it was because the bugs had just crawled out of the burrow and had not yet had time to replenish their nutrients; of course, it was also possible that the school's protective formation had a suppressive effect on these poisonous bugs, so they did not grow big.
In short, what Ding Dong Er said to Zheng Qing at that time was that 'their ancestors issued an order for them to clean up the poisonous insects breeding on the island until after the Dragon Boat Festival'.
Today is the Forbidden Day, the calendar has just turned to the end of March, and there are still almost two months until the Dragon Boat Festival at the end of May. If calculated according to the special situation of May this year, there are still almost three months until the Dragon Boat Festival.
Enough to keep these clothed mice busy for a while.
Afterwards, Zheng Qing discussed this issue with Xiao Xiao and had several guesses as to why the Rat Immortal ordered its descendants to capture poisonous insects. Among them, the guess given by Xiao Xiao was the most reliable.
According to Xiao Xiao's theory, the battle between these rats and the poisonous insects was actually a 'proxy war'.
Behind the Clothes Rat Clan, there is no doubt that it is First University. As the Clothes Rat Clan has placed its home within the control of the school and the entire clan lives under the school's surveillance, it is necessary to show their knowledge to the school from time to time.
Position and function.
Behind the poisonous insects are other forces that the school cannot deal with - including but not limited to the Dark Parliament, the resistance forces of the New World, some unfriendly forces of the Moon Parliament, and the resistance of the world consciousness suppressed by the wizards.
.
According to many information that Xiao Xiao consulted, including the annual Kuroshio flooding and the breeding of poisonous insects after the Kuroshio, although it is mainly caused by natural factors, there are several invisible hands behind these natural factors every year.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, if the internal conflicts in Syria evolve normally, there may be a less intense civil war. But with the intervention of some external forces, it suddenly expands and turns into a meat grinder that destroys the country and the city.
.
As for the reason for the rivalry between the two sides, it is nothing more than a matter of 'the general trend' and 'luck'.
In addition, Xiao Xiao also had a rather dark speculation.
The school requires the rats to clean up the poisonous insects. On the one hand, it is cleaning up the five poisons that breed. On the other hand, it is not to control the number of rats. As we all know, the reproductive ability of rats is not weak. If these animals have certain wisdom and a certain organization,
, and creatures with certain magical powers continue to multiply unscrupulously. I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire world will be occupied by rats.
A similar case is the method used by vampires to pollute blood servants.
The Wizards Alliance has strictly limited the number, method, time and other contents of the vampires' pollution of blood servants through the code. At the same time, the Parliament under the Moon has also made relevant restrictions. Under the control of double valves, the pollution of the vampires has been limited to a very small circle.
Here, the safety of Baiding's world is ensured.
at the moment.
Looking at these green-clothed mice charging bravely, the black cat couldn't help but think of Ding Dong Ears and Ding Dong Ears, which he had the most dealings with. He recalled the way they were asking for debt the last time they met, and couldn't help but twitch his beard.
When it comes to asking for an account, it is also a confusing matter.
A few weeks ago, when Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu were discussing issues on campus, Ding Dong Er once provided him with a piece of paid information, saying that there was a faceless monster in the school. At that time, Zheng Qing asked to find the monster and confirm that the information was true before paying.
, Ding Dong Er had no objection. As a result, he searched for many days and found nothing.
Logically speaking, Zheng Qing doesn't have to pay. But in recent days, Ding Dong Er claimed that the pet snake that lost its painted skin was the faceless monster it once mentioned. The school has confirmed the existence of the monster. Zheng Qing
Should pay.
Zheng Qing didn't have much objection to this, but Hu Wuhanke, who was in charge of the D&K store's accounting, refused to pay because Dingdong Er had fully fulfilled the contract. As a store owner, Zheng Qing still supported the professional opinions of professionals.
In this way, the two sides began a long dispute.
After Brother Er Er finished working in the store every day, he would sit at the door of the store holding a small piece of paper and ask for bonuses. Fox Wu often turned a blind eye to this. Zheng Qing often tried to settle the matter and pay, but was severely criticized by the fox in charge of the accounts.
He refused. So he simply stopped going to the store these days, out of sight and out of mind.
