Although the zombie rat was killed, the faces of several students were very ugly.
Wu Xiaoyan helped Zhou Yi treat the wound with antidote.
Xiao Jinsheng squatted in front of the corpse of the zombie rat and observed carefully. Jiang Wen and Bai Xiaowen stood beside Xiao Jinsheng.
"This plague rat is much stronger than ordinary individuals, especially its agility and defense, which are almost doubled," Xiao Jinsheng frowned, "The most important thing is that this violent attack method is completely unlike
A normal plague rat."
In the end, he was able to complete the beheading by relying on the rusty iron sword in Xiao Jinsheng's hand.
This rusty iron sword is a psychic equipment. It looks very low, but in terms of lethality, it is much stronger than weapons made of fine steel. It can split a zombie rat with "zombified skin" in half with one sword.
Xiao Jinsheng turned over the zombie rat's head. Under the illumination of the searchlight, he could clearly see that the zombie rat's eyes were white, and the hairless skin on its mouth showed a sickly white luster.
"It must have been affected by something and mutated." Bai Xiaowen coughed and said.
"Second mutation?" Xiao Jinsheng frowned. He stood up and looked deep into the dark plague rat hole.
"If the cave is full of such secondary mutated monsters, we can't go any deeper."
The fat on Xiao Jinsheng's face trembled slightly, and he said seriously: "I will report the situation here to the school and ask the school to send awakened people to deal with it."
Zhou Yi bandaged the wound and shouted with some dissatisfaction: "Isn't that true? That mouse is not very powerful. I was attacked by it this time and I don't know its details. If I encounter another one, I will definitely kill it.
."
Bai Xiaowen sneered.
Xiao Jinsheng shook his head and said: "Even if you can kill one one-on-one, what's the point? There are conservatively estimated to be hundreds of plague rats in this plague rat den, and they often appear in groups. Once more than three appear,
, there will definitely be casualties in our team.”
Zhou Yi shut up and stopped talking. He just glared at Bai Xiaowen fiercely, feeling that he had been laughed at and lost face.
"Teacher, let's go back? Only one day has passed for a week of actual combat training. We can still go to other areas for training." Bai Xiaowen ignored Zhou Yi at all.
"good."
The five people came here in good spirits and returned in despair, following the same path they came from.
When they reached the entrance of the cave, Jiang Wen at the front suddenly screamed: "Why is there light?"
Several people stepped forward to take a look, and their hearts skipped a beat. The original entrance to the cave actually had a hazy milky white halo, which looked very strange in the dark night.
Zhou Yi tried to take two steps forward, and his face changed: "Teacher Xiao, there is no way to pass here!"
"How is that possible?" Xiao Jinsheng's expression suddenly changed on his fat face, and he stepped forward quickly.
The hazy white light seemed to be an invisible barrier, blocking the entrance of the cave. No matter how hard several people tried, they could not pass through the light curtain and move forward at all.
"What is going on?" Zhou Yi felt extremely unlucky. Weird things happened frequently from the beginning of this field training, which was not going well.
"This is a kind of enchantment spell."
Xiao Jinsheng took a breath and said slowly: "Someone cast a barrier to block the entrance of the cave. We can't get out until the spiritual energy of the barrier dissipates."
"Who? Why do you do this?" Jiang Wen asked fearfully.
"I don't know either, but I'm afraid the other party has no good intentions and is very powerful!" Xiao Jinsheng said, "If he can cast spells, he must be at the awakened level. We can't deal with him."
"What should we do?" Zhou Yi shouted, "Ask for help from the school, Teacher Xiao! We can't die here."
"I will send a distress signal now. However, even if the awakened ones sent by the school set off immediately, it will take some time to arrive. During this period, everyone should hide and turn off the searchlights. Don't attract the enemy's attention."
Xiao Jinsheng directly identified the person who cast the barrier as an enemy, and led four students into the darkness deep into the plague rat den.
Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong. He did not think that enemies with the strength of the Awakened would target their group.
Thinking of the zombie rat's insightful information, Bai Xiaowen thought of a possibility.
"Teacher Xiao, I don't think... the other party is coming for us."
Bai Xiaowen took two quick steps and came to Xiao Jinsheng's side: "If the enemy is coming for us, there is no need to expend so much effort. There will be plenty of opportunities along the way."
Xiao Jinsheng frowned: "If he didn't come for us, then why did he come to this buffer zone cave where birds don't shit?"
"I guess it has something to do with the abnormal changes in the plague rat den," Bai Xiaowen spoke clearly and quickly, "Why did the plague rat change so much? It can mutate the plague rats in the entire cave. If it is a treasure, it must be very impressive.
, will make even the awakened ones jealous. Also, don’t you think there’s something wrong with the stone blocking the entrance of the cave? It’s more like man-made than the work of plague rats.”
"You mean that an awakened person discovered the abnormal situation here and came to investigate?" Xiao Jinsheng frowned, "But why did he block the entrance as well?"
"When the other party saw the stones at the entrance of the cave being moved away, and then saw the footprints at the entrance, he must have guessed that we had entered the cave first and had not yet left. In order to prevent us from getting the treasure and taking it away, he blocked it
Cave."
Bai Xiaowen's analysis was sound and well-founded. At this time, Xiao Jinsheng also felt that something was wrong with the stone blocking the entrance of the cave.
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.
"Since they are not coming for us, we should go back to the entrance of the cave and wait for rescue." Wu Xiaoyan whispered.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "We still have to follow what Teacher Xiao said, hide first and try not to be discovered. According to Teacher Xiao, the other party has the strength of the Awakened One and wants to kill the five of us very easily. I don't rule out one
Maybe, after the other party got the treasure, in order to silence them, they killed us..."
"Huh, you've been analyzing it for a long time, but it's just hiding, and it's no different from what Teacher Xiao said." Zhou Yi said disdainfully.
"Well, Zhou Yi, Bai Xiaowen's analysis at least gives us a sense of confidence and we won't be so panicked."
Xiao Jinsheng calmed down, and after thinking, he said: "Now, we can't just run around like headless flies. Find a secluded place to hide first, so as not to bump into that person... It's best if we can live in peace."
The five people advanced quietly and chose a remote and narrow path at the fork in the cave.
After walking for hundreds of meters and turning two turns, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up and they entered a basement.
The basement is ten meters square and is quite spacious. After arriving here, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yi cursed in a low voice: "These damn mice are really good at digging holes. What's the use of digging such a big basement?"
Bai Xiaowen turned on the searchlight and carefully observed the basement.
"What are you doing? Turn off the lights!" Zhou Yi roared in a low voice.
Bai Xiaowen turned to the light and touched the wall of the basement. His expression changed slightly: "No, we have to leave here, right now!"
