Looking at the scarred spiritual beast, Jiang Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Where did you find it?"
Xue Tong pointed forward: "Not far ahead, there are bloodstains on the ground. I don't know who is so perverted all the way here, killing a spiritual beast, but it was slowly tortured to death."
Jiang Chen did not answer, but looked at the spirit beast again and again: "This wound was caused by man. It feels like it was not meant to kill it, but to abuse it."
"Yes, could it be that Ye Dai and the others did it?" Ye Rong frowned, "This Ye Dai doesn't seem that boring. It's not like his style."
"Go and take a look at the front." Jiang Chen couldn't say anything for a moment, but when he saw this scarred and disfigured spiritual beast, he didn't know what to say.
When they arrived at the place where Xue Tong found the spiritual beast, they saw a trail of blood coming and stretching away. There was blood all the way, and it was unknown how long it had dripped.
"Did this spiritual beast die because of the blood that flowed out of its body while it was still alive?" Ling Qianli also sighed.
Jiang Chen touched the blood on the ground: "This blood is not gone, it shouldn't last long. Judging from the time, it shouldn't be Ye Dai and the others. Moreover, Ye Dai's target is the fourth prince, they won't
Leaving these bloodstains for no reason adds unnecessary vulnerabilities to myself."
"Could it be someone else?"
"Hey, no matter who it is, there are thousands of aristocratic children participating in the autumn hunting this time. It is normal for a few psychopathic guys to appear."
The goal of everyone's trip is to hunt and kill spiritual beasts. The more you kill, the better. However, most people generally don't use this method of killing, which is indeed a bit cruel and perverted.
Jiang Chen nodded and discarded the body of the spirit beast on the ground: "No matter who killed it, it was because of his luck. If you encounter a single person, if you encounter a group of such spirit beasts, you will be in big trouble.
"
Ling Qianli was curious: "What kind of spiritual beast is this? Does Brother Jiang know it?"
"This is the gold-eating rat, a branch of the ancient gold-eating king rat. A single one may not be strong, but once this kind of gold-eating rat is dispatched, there will be tens of thousands, even hundreds of millions.
It’s a plan. This is a very evil thing. Let’s leave quickly. Don’t let bad luck happen. If we really hit the Gold Rat’s lair, we’ll be in big trouble.”
Jiang Chen is not an alarmist. He has heard some rumors about the Gold-Eating Rat in ancient times. In ancient times, there were some great masters who traveled across various planes. There were also those who accidentally poked into the Gold-Eating Rat's lair and suddenly caused trouble.
A catastrophic disaster.
Normally in this situation, if one did not have overwhelming magical power, he would basically be hunted down by a swarm of gold-eating rats until he was in a desperate situation with no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.
Basically, it's a dead end.
"Let's go, let's go." Ling Qianli felt a little horrified.
"Go, avoid these blood stains." Ye Rong ordered.
After bypassing this blood trail, everyone walked for about ten miles, and something strange happened again. At the intersection ahead, there was the body of a gold-eating rat, and the wound was still as bloody as ever, and it was too horrible to look at.
Jiang Chen's expression suddenly changed this time: "Fourth Prince, I'm afraid we are in trouble."
"What's wrong?"
"The corpses of two gold-eating rats in a row can't be a coincidence. It's impossible for one person to be a pervert and have two perverts at the same time. And you see, the corpses of these gold-eating rats appeared in places where we had to leave.
Intersection. If we bypass this intersection, we have to go back to that bitter intersection. If we had chosen another direction to bypass it, we estimate that there would definitely be corpses of gold-eating rats at the intersection in that direction."
"Is it so evil?"
"Isn't that right? We'll find out if we turn back and walk in another direction?" Ling Qianli took the lead and walked at the front.
With Jiang Chen's judgment, everyone's mood suddenly became complicated.
In fact, they didn't go far. After a while, they returned to the original intersection and continued to detour in the other direction. Sure enough, before they had gone twenty miles, they saw the body of another gold-eating rat with the same horrific wounds.
, the same blood stains along the way.
Jiang Chen's expression became more solemn. It was obvious that the corpse of the gold-eating rat appeared here, as if he had expected it.
"Jiang Chen, is there really a scam?"
Jiang Chen's expression was solemn, and suddenly his ears moved, and his body suddenly fell to the ground with his ears close to the ground. When he listened carefully, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
When he first saw the corpse of the first gold-eating rat, he felt very awkward in his heart. An uneasy intuition made him feel very uncomfortable.
At this moment, he can completely conclude that this is definitely man-made. And it is a very vicious plan to eradicate the root cause.
"We should have been surrounded by a wave of gold-eating rats."
"What?" Everyone was shocked, "Jiang Chen, are you kidding?"
Ling Qianli lay on the ground and listened, but heard nothing: "Jiang Chen, are you mistaken?"
Jiang Chen didn't speak, but the magical power of Luck's seven orifices was sensing everywhere, and his face was full of solemnity.
Concubine Dan's mood also became heavy. She had known Jiang Chen for a while, and she had never seen Jiang Chen with such a serious expression.
She had never seen Jiang Chen feel like he was facing a powerful enemy. Even when he faced the giant ape, he had never been so serious before.
"Jiang Chen, what exactly did you hear?" Ye Rong stepped forward and asked.
Concubine Dan scolded: "Don't disturb him."
Concubine Dan knew very well that Jiang Chen was definitely thinking about countermeasures or analyzing the situation when he was silent. Talking to him at this time was tantamount to disturbing his train of thought.
Ye Rong smiled but said nothing more.
After a while, Jiang Chen said to Tong Xue: "Listen and see."
Xue Tong nodded, followed Jiang Chen's example of lying on the ground, and used the magical power of Shunting Ear. Upon hearing this, Xue Tong's expression also changed drastically.
I don't know how far away it is, but it seems that all the surrounding land is surrounded by the same sound.
That kind of sound is sharp and harsh. All the sharp and harsh sounds come together to form a storm that can swallow everything and is sweeping the earth.
And this sweeping trend is slowly narrowing the circle, surrounding them tighter and tighter.
"Young Master, we have been made dumplings," Xue Tong blurted out.
The so-called being wrapped in dumplings means being surrounded. They have become the stuffing in the dumplings.
This time, Ling Qianli fell down and listened again, but he also heard it, and his expression changed drastically. Everyone else also fell on the ground to listen.
At this time, as the rat tide army advances, anyone who is not deaf can hear the sweeping force.
Although it is within sight, it cannot be seen yet.
However, this powerful sweeping force has shocked the people in the venue, and their faces are all pale, as if they are approaching the end of the world.
"Follow me." Jiang Chen looked in a certain direction.
At this time, Jiang Chen was like a bright light, quickly following Jiang Chen and speeding in that direction. In that direction, there was a big mountain with not very dense vegetation and a large stone forest.
"Go, go to that stone forest. Pick the biggest and tallest stone and hide on it. The faster, the better." Jiang Chen commanded while taking out all the poisonous powder on his body. In the stone forest area,
Three circles on the left and three on the right, spreading layer after layer.
Unfortunately, the amount of poisonous powder was still far from enough after being used at this time. After spreading it in circles three times, the effect was still far from what Jiang Chen expected.
Jiang Chen is helpless. Now, there is only so much he can do.
"It's a pity that the Golden-winged Swordbird cannot be carried. Otherwise, with the volleying speed of the Golden-winged Swordbird, there might be a glimmer of hope."
It can only be said to be a glimmer of hope, because this gold-eating rat has many forms. Some gold-eating rats can also grow wings like bats.
Once this kind of gold-eating rat grows wings, its maneuverability will be very terrifying. Although its absolute speed is not particularly strong, it cannot withstand large numbers. Once the overwhelming tide of rats comes, even if it is ten times or a hundred times stronger than them,
Even if it exists, it will be easily conquered.
It's not that Jiang Chen doesn't want to escape, but he has already heard that there are no so-called passages for the rat tide coming from all directions in this area for dozens of miles, and there are no gaps at all. As long as there are some gaps,
Immediately, countless gold-eating rats filled the gap.
Standing on the boulder, everyone's expressions were filled with solemnity.
Although they escaped to this high place, no one dared to be optimistic at this time. Although the Gold-eating Rat, they did not understand how powerful it was.
But they had heard of the beast tide. Many powerful warriors failed to escape after encountering the beast tide.
Since ancient times, once surrounded by a tide of beasts, it can be said that very few warriors, no matter how powerful they are, can escape from birth.
"Here it comes!" Jiang Chen's divine pupil was the first to notice the boundless tide of rats rolling in.
In all directions, as far as the eye can see, there is a golden ocean, which is faster than the impact of the waves. The speed of advancement is really like a tidal wave.
Without any impurities, the golden ocean composed of countless golden individuals is densely packed and covers the entire earth.
Everywhere he went, whether it was a big tree or a patch of grass, was submerged by the boundless tide of rats.
"So many?" Ling Qianli also exclaimed.
With Rattide’s recommendations, others have seen it too.
At first, they were somewhat lucky, hoping that this was just a small wave of rats. But after they really came into their sight, they realized how terrifying and shocking this rat wave was.
At this glance, in addition to gold, it is still gold. The entire vast land is completely covered by the golden rat tide. The endless golden ocean and the streamlines of the gold-eating rats emit dazzling golden light under the sun.
As dazzling as the sparkling waves on the ocean.
"Zhizhi"
"squeak squeak squeak"
The rat tide made an excited cry and gathered into a raging ocean.
Before they could advance in front of them, each of these people already felt a suffocating sense of oppression.
This piercing cry gathered into a stream, into a river, constantly involved in his eardrums, their brains, and their souls.
Before the tide of rats could advance towards them, the piercing screams gathered into a stream and almost drowned them.
