Chapter 434, The Princess' Follower 3
The next morning, when Liu San woke up in a daze, he saw that Ou Yan had returned to the pond on a leopard. The two grilled fish and leopard meat to fill their stomachs.
Ou Yan then used a colorful rope to wrap around the leopard's neck, like a dog.
She didn’t know why, but when the earth leopard got into her hands, it became extremely honest and obediently led the way, leading the two of them to a cave in the central hill.
This cave is already relatively large, three feet wide. As long as it is dug a little further, it will be able to accommodate two people entering and exiting calmly.
Ou Yan pointed to the cave and said, "I order you to enter from here and expand the tunnel to six feet wide."
The earth leopard seemed to understand Ou Yan's instructions, jumped into the cave, and used its claws to dig at the soil on the cave wall. It also used earth magic to push the soil out of the cave entrance.
The earth leopard soon opened the depth of more than ten feet, exposing the geology of the rocks inside.
Ou Yan then summoned the earth leopard and chanted the earth spell. The earth leopard roared towards the cave, and actually broke the rocks on the surface of the cave with its roar.
If the tunnel is opened like this, it will probably take two days.
Liu San was a little apologetic for letting Ou Yan do such heavy work. But she was very interested and didn't feel it was hard.
Ou Yan suddenly waved Liu San away and said, "There is movement inside!"
The cave was probably hundreds of feet deep underground, and there was a chirping sound coming from the ground. It was obviously those giant rats who had damaged the cave so much, so they thought Ou Yan had some ill intentions towards them.
Sure enough, a giant rat appeared at the end of the cave and rushed over with several lower-level giant rats. The leading giant rat shouted: "Princess, why did you destroy our cave?!"
Ou Yan chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, I want to go down and visit your palace. It's just that the entrance is too small, so it's quite inconvenient to get in and out."
The giant rat opened its sharp mouth and said: "I see. As long as the princess is wronged by more than ten feet, the cave inside will be opened."
Ou Yan originally hated the appearance of rats, but when she was accused by the giant rat, her face changed and she said angrily: "When will it be your turn to teach me a lesson?! I want to destroy your cave, huh!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and shot out a little starlight, and the giant rat fell to the ground and rolled his eyes. The minions quickly picked up the little boss and slipped back into the tunnel.
Ou Yan said proudly: "Teach them a lesson, and then they will welcome me honestly, haha."
However, she followed the instructions of the giant rat just now and urged the earth leopard to open the cave. As expected, she opened the cave more than ten feet away, and her eyes suddenly opened up.
This passage is six or seven feet wide, and there are different stone chambers on both sides, where dried fish, fodder and other sundries are piled.
This is a main road. The passage extends diagonally downward and winds under the hill. As you can imagine, the entire central hill has been dug out by giant rats into a huge spiral downward space. There is only a huge rock pillar in the middle.
The entire mountain is supported by a solid rock structure.
Driven by Ou Yan, Tubao guided the two of them slowly along the spacious underground passage. There were night pearls illuminating both sides of the cave. There were many giant rats lying on the ground along the way, saluting the two and not daring to look at them.
.
After descending for about tens of feet, another light came into view. It turned out to be a spacious underground palace, more than thirty feet wide. There was a long bed and chair in the center.
More luminous pearls are inlaid on the stone walls in the palace. There are also several second-level warrior giant rats and a dozen first-level warrior giant rats. They all appear in human form and respectfully salute Ou Yan with clasped fists.
.
The bed and chair were obviously the Mouse King's seats, but they were empty.
A plump woman stood in the center of the palace, wearing a gray-black robe. Her mouth was a bit pointed, but she was still a beauty.
The woman bent down to salute and said, "Mrs. Tudong Island Rat welcomes the princess."
Ou Yan raised her forehead high, scanned the whole place majestically, and then nodded slowly. She said, "Excuse me, thank you for your hard work, everyone."
The giant rats in the audience slowly raised their heads and stared at the proud princess.
Liu San followed Ou Yan, and he had to admire Ou Yan. Although she was extremely unruly, she had a superhuman talent for governance and management. She knew how to control the overall situation and show off her status.
Ou Yan walked towards the center of the palace and said to Mrs. Mouse: "Where is the Mouse King? Isn't he practicing magic here?!"
Mrs. Mouse replied: "Reporting to the princess, he has reached the last moment of his cultivation. Therefore, it is inconvenient for him to come to pay homage to the princess."
Ou Yan nodded and said: "I know well that Tudong Island is loyal to Imperial Capital Island. The Rat King spared his life to cultivate his body for Imperial Capital Island. Imperial Capital Island will naturally select more giant rat warriors to join the battle team, so that
The giant rat tribe became more prosperous."
Mrs. Mouse quickly bent down to salute and said: "We, the giant rat clan, are deeply grateful to the princess for her kindness!"
The giant rat warriors in the palace also clasped their fists and saluted.
"Don't disturb the Rat King during this final practice," Ou Yan said.
Mrs. Mouse said: "Tomorrow we will collectively transfer our skills to the Mouse King to help him pass the final hurdle. The princess will be able to see the Mouse King's body in about two days."
Ou Yan stretched out her hand to signal Madam Mouse to lead the way to see the Mouse King's practice.
Mrs. Mouse guided Ou Yan and Liu San towards a small cave next to the palace. This was a main road connecting underground caves, and there were giant rats guarding it along the way.
After walking for a while, a small palace room appeared in front of me.
The cave is about ten feet in size. The top is rounded and the surroundings are smooth. It is obviously a cave that took a lot of effort to carve.
In the center of the small palace, a rich man with a sharp mouth and a fat body sat meditating. His whole body was bathed in gray light, flickering brightly and dimly.
Ou Yan stood outside the cave, looked around, and nodded frequently.
Then the three of them returned to the big palace. Mrs. Mouse brought out grass-root wine and various delicacies to entertain Ou Yan and Liu San. But Ou Yan couldn't be happy at all.
She didn't drink much either. After Liu San had eaten her fill, she said goodbye to Mrs. Mouse and returned to the pond.
Liu San asked curiously: "What's wrong? Sister doesn't seem to like playing down there?"
Ou Yan nodded and said: "I have to maintain my identity in front of them. I'm exhausted. What else do I want to do? This is the scene I don't like the most."
Liu San said sympathetically: "That's right. Although we poor people have no status, no money and power, we are relatively free and have a lot less troubles."
Only then did he understand why Ou Yan wanted to play with this little ruffian like him, because he didn't care about etiquette and allowed Ou Yan to vent his temper.
Ou Yan nodded slowly, seemingly unable to escape from this life.
She said: "Oh, it has to be like this, otherwise I will be bullied by other people in the sea. It's better for me to ride on others' heads, hey, this is also my father's philosophy."
Liu San did not answer, fearing that he would offend the princess again by saying the wrong thing.
The sky gradually darkened, and another night came.
