The reproductive ability of rats is extremely terrifying, even in the animal kingdom, it can be ranked first. Although the underground forbidden area is relatively short of food, for rats who are not picky eaters, it is still a paradise-like existence. The number of races
It has always maintained a very large base.
However, due to environmental reasons, the eyesight of the underground rats has deteriorated to a certain extent. Although the eyesight has deteriorated, the rats' sense of smell has improved. After smelling the bloody smell splashed by climbing snakes, they lurk underground.
The rats in the forbidden area went crazy like sharks that smelled blood, and gathered towards the birthplace of blood.
You must know that in most cases, the rats that are usually scattered in underground forbidden areas do not gather together to hunt. Their food is also mayflies and fungi in the underground world. Most of them catch fish from underground rivers.
It is also the prey of more powerful creatures.
"Squeak...chirp...chirp..." The noises made by rats were heart-stopping. A large number of rats ran directly towards the crawling snakes that were still struggling on the ground. Some of them also attacked the people who were running for their lives.
Fortunately, everyone was not slow, and many of the rats that chased them were either kicked away or trampled into a ball of flesh.
"Little thing, you actually want to eat people!" Old Ivan was huge, and his speed was much behind the others. He was the first to be harassed by the rats. He cursed, flew up his hand and swatted away the rats that climbed on him.
He took out a metal wine bottle from his arms, took a big sip, then turned around and lit the lighter. With a "pop" sound, a ball of flame suddenly melted away, frightening the rats that were driven up to the point of being scared out of their wits. Many of them turned around and ran away.
, some were unable to escape, and when burned by the flames, much of their fur was burned away. Fortunately, the flames did not last long, and they were not able to cause real harm to the rats.
However, Old Ivan's move alerted the rest of the team. Geshu, with sharp eyes and quick hands, quickly took out the solid fuel and a bottle of gasoline for ignition from his backpack, quickly sprinkled it on the ground, and called Old Ivan over.
, immediately threw down the fire starter, and with a "crash", the fire suddenly ignited, and many wild rats immediately fell into the sea of fire.
"Crash...boom..." The fire spread in a trend that Geshu could not imagine. Many wild rats stained with gasoline and solid fuel ran away in severe pain, but they did not expect that in the process of escaping,
It set the friends around me on fire.
"What's going on?" Seeing the wild rats around him running for their lives like crazy, Ge Shu was a little dumbfounded. This was an unexpected result for him, the instigator.
But as the fire spread, the oxygen content in the air in the underground space quickly dropped, and the air was filled with a large amount of burnt smell. Not only did the lack of oxygen make people dizzy, it also made people feel extremely sick and nauseating.
"The geography here is too complicated!" Chen Ziyun was shocked when he saw this scene. From these wild rats on fire, he thought of more things. The underground world is very humid. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to
The only explanation for the large-masked wild rats catching fire is that these wild rats were originally stained with flammable substances.
Thinking about flammable products, there are only two explanations that are barely reasonable. The first is that there is a large amount of resin here. Wild rats feed on resin and their bodies are contaminated with flammable fat; the second is that there are flammable fats here.
Rich oil and gas reserves. Specifically, there are not only layers of petrified wood, but also large areas of oil shale. Wild rats that have lived in oil shale for too long will naturally carry a lot of oil and will catch fire.
Chen Ziyun didn't have time to stop and check whether his inference was correct. After the sea of fire spread, his field of vision became wider, and he could vaguely see some shadows moving in the distance. The shadow on the forehead looked like a wild rat, but it was not big.
Than wild boars. Chen Ziyun believes that these should be existences like rat kings. If we provoke these, everyone will only be in greater trouble.
"There is an underground river ahead!" Chen Ziyun finally showed joy on his face. But when he looked back, the joy and relaxation on his face disappeared again: "These wild rats are really haunting!"
The fire has already spread among the rats. Some smart rats have already climbed onto the rocks and hid on top of the stone walls. Some rats are also chasing Chen Ziyun and others as usual, including many rats whose bodies are already on fire.
It made a scream of "squeaking", but its moving speed was not slow at all.
"They are not chasing us!" Ye Ya said with a serious face, almost gritting his teeth: "They are trying to put out the fire!"
Chen Ziyun suddenly realized. The intelligence of rats is not low, and it is natural to know that water can extinguish the burning fire on their bodies. "Go to the water!" Ye Ya took a deep breath and looked at the wild rats that were already catching up.
shouted loudly.
"Plop!" "Plop!"
No one hesitated. Looking at the crazy wild rat, everyone had no time to think.
“It’s so cold!”
"Wow! Damn! Is this ice water!"
"I'm so cold!"
"..."
The people who floated to the surface of the river began to shout and scream. The water temperature in the underground river was extremely low. Unexpectedly, everyone began to shiver together. Fortunately, they ran for their lives along the way, and everyone had done warm-up exercises, otherwise the consequences might have been serious.
Even worse.
"Is everyone okay?" Chen Ziyun asked.
The answers came one after another, which made Chen Ziyun feel relieved. He looked back at the edge of the underground river, and saw endless wild rats rushing towards the underground river, making a "sizzling" sound, which didn't sound very comfortable.
Chen Ziyun also discovered a phenomenon. Although some wild rats had reached the edge of the underground river, they showed frightened expressions and refused to jump down. Most of these wild rats were chased by their companions who were on fire, and they themselves were not
It was necessary to put out the fire in Luoshui, and they had no choice but to come to this place because they had no way to escape. However, although they did not want to go into the water, they were squeezed into the river by the rats behind them.
"The underground river is dangerous!" Chen Ziyun's heart froze, and he suddenly had this idea. Creatures have their own unique instincts and memories. These rats who are unwilling to go into the river must have witnessed something that frightened them in the underground river.
That's why things are like this. Otherwise, I wouldn't be hesitant by the river.
As the rats swarmed, the quiet underground river began to boil like boiling water. Chen Ziyun had a worried look on his face. If there was really any danger in this underground river, these wild rats would surely
It will draw out those dangerous beings.
"Let's leave this place quickly." Chen Ziyun ordered in a low voice.
