Suddenly there was a roaring sound ahead. Liu Yu and Daer, who had been traveling for most of the way in the winding cave tunnel, immediately stopped and listened.
"Taoist Priest Xuanyu, either there are people hunting in front of you, or there are two parties fighting!" The experienced Dahl spoke after listening for a while.
He is used to this kind of situation. It would be strange if he didn't encounter anything while walking in the "underground grotto"!
"What should we do now!" Liu Yu couldn't help but frown and said.
"Generally speaking, we can take a detour to avoid it, or we can wait here for a while, and it will calm down soon, or we can go forward to see what happened, but this mine road is a shortcut that must be taken.
, if you take a detour, you will have to take an extra half day of detours." Darr explained helplessly.
"Let's go! Let's go take a look!" Liu Yu said after thinking for a moment. The detour was too far and waiting was not an option. It was better to go closer and see what was going on.
……
"What the hell are those things?" The two of them stepped forward slowly and hid behind a boulder at a corner. Looking from a distance, they saw a pale-faced Northland woman and a tall silver giant buffalo wolf.
, is being blocked in a corner by a small group of half-human, half-animal monsters.
"Those are the Cave Rats!" Dahl couldn't help but change his expression when he saw it, and hurriedly replied.
"Grotto Rat Man?" Liu Yu couldn't help but look confused.
"Taoist Priest! Have you seen those monsters crouching on the ground and crawling quickly? Doesn't it look like a big rat? Those are half-rat people." Dar pointed at the outer circle and made bursts of harsh "squeaking" sounds.
Said a large number of ghosts with thick hard hair, sharp limbs and claws, less than half a person tall.
"These grotto half-rats like to dig holes in the walls. They proliferate in the underground "Cave Layer" and "Fire Cave Layer". They are extremely numerous and have low intelligence. As long as they are not surrounded by a large group of half-rats, they will not be in any danger.
, but those Ratmen who are wearing Kai armor and holding weapons are very difficult to deal with!" Dar continued.
"How is the combat strength?" Liu Yu looked at those "rat men" who walked upright, had rat heads and human bodies, dragged a slender hairless tail, wore heavy armor, held sharp blades, and had a pair of green eyes on their furry faces, with a solemn expression.
asked.
"These cave rat people are born with great strength and have blood spiritual power. Their adult combat power is equivalent to the middle stage of Qi training, and the elite among them can reach the combat power of the late Qi training stage. Some of the mutants among the rat people have extremely strong senses of various minerals.
, can mine minerals and forge weapons and armor, and is proficient in this. The tools they forge are no worse than the magical tools of cultivators, they are very powerful!" Dahl introduced carefully.
"Ding Ding" I saw a dozen cave rat men attacking the surrounded woman and the giant wolf at the same time, throwing out the javelin in their hands. The ferocious silver wolf blocked the woman behind, swiped its front paws, and sent seven of them flying.
Eight javelins, the other javelins shot at the giant wolf, making a crisp sound.
This giant wolf not only has a layer of body-protecting Qi condensed on its body, but also wears a thick custom-made spiritual beast armor, which firmly protects the weak points such as the abdomen, joints, neck, etc., so that the javelins fired can basically penetrate it.
The armor on the giant wolf's body could not be broken, and the breaths were bounced away.
"Ouch!" The giant wolf was enraged and pounced forward, swinging its sharp wolf claws at the cave rat-man standing at the front.
The grotto rat-man at the front was half a head taller than the other rat-men, and his body was stronger. He was holding a red sword, and he refused to retreat when faced with the charge of the giant wolf. A strong spiritual power erupted from his body.
, the broadsword in his hand ignited with flames, and he struck the giant wolf with a flaming slash.
With a "bump", both the grotto rat-men and the giant wolf were knocked back. The other grotto-rats in the surrounding area took the opportunity to throw another hail of javelins.
The giant wolf had to retreat again, blocking the pale young woman. At this time, seven or eight half-rat men rushed forward. The giant wolf waved its claws, tearing and biting, and it was about to rush forward in a moment.
The half-rat men fought back, leaving behind three or four disemboweled and mutilated rat corpses.
"Master Taoist, let's take a detour! There is a "Rat Man Warrior" unexpectedly!" Dar said in shock when he saw this scene.
"Why?" Judging from the combat power that this tall rat man unleashed just now, it is equivalent to the combat power of the lizard leader he encountered in the "Black and White Secret Realm". I don't know why Dar is so panicked.
"The appearance of a "rat warrior general" means that there may be a large "rat tribe" hiding nearby. This "rat tribe" may have dozens or even hundreds of rat warriors.
There are also a large number of half-rats, it is too dangerous to stay here!" Dar said uneasily.
There are some words he hasn't said yet. Some large "rat tribes" even have more than one "rat warrior", and some even have terrifying "rat priests". Every year, countless adventurous servants die tragically in
into the hands of the Grotto Rat Man.
"Are there many rat-men or rat-man tribes like this in this underground cave?" Liu Yu couldn't help but ask.
"There are too many to count! But most of them are small tribes. They are not even tribes. They can only be called "rat holes" or "rat lairs". A few or a dozen cave rat men lead a group of half rat men.
."
"If there is a "Ratman Warlord" with a ratman leader who is equivalent to the foundation-building combat power, it will undoubtedly be a large ratman tribe!" Dar explained patiently.
"Do these rat men often attack humans like this?" Liu Yu said while looking at the Northland woman and the giant silver wolf who were struggling to resist the siege of the rat men.
"No! These rat men are dirty and cunning. They often attack adventurous servants walking in underground caves. The men are killed on the spot, and the women..." Dahl couldn't say what he said next.
"How?" Liu Yu couldn't help but frown and asked.
"Be kidnapped back to the lair and raped until death!" Dar said in a cold voice, and there was something even more disgusting that he couldn't say.
If a female cultivator is unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of these rat men, she will be like going to hell, being raped day and night, and turning into a fertility machine for the cave rat men.
The rat men took the initiative to plunder and imprison female nuns in order to breed offspring. From some rat tribes that were breached, they often rescued many miserable women who were as hollow and numb as walking corpses.

"Will the Winter Water Alliance not care about it?" Liu Yu's heart suddenly became angry. When something like this happens, should the "Winter Water Alliance", as the lord of the North, just sit back and watch?
"The "Winter Water Alliance" will naturally not ignore it. It is said that a long time ago, not only in the underground caves, but also on the ground, these rat men were very rampant. It was only after hundreds of thousands of years of suppression and eradication by the "Winter Water Alliance" that they were eliminated.
These rat men rushed to the underground grotto."
"These rat people reproduce too fast, and the terrain of the underground grottoes is complex. It is difficult to kill them all after hiding in the underground grottoes. Even if the "Winter Water League" launches a large-scale cleanup every thousand years, the underground grottoes are too
It's too deep and too complicated, and there will always be some fish that slip through the net, and then they will resurface." Dahl said helplessly.
"Of course, the "Winter Water Alliance" has always encouraged underground adventurous servants to kill these dirty ratmen. The various servant branches will issue clearing missions from time to time. Each pair of half-ratmen's ears can be exchanged for two points of servant contribution. Each grotto ratman
His head can be exchanged for thirty points of servant contribution." Dar continued.
Therefore, there are many hunting teams composed of servants in the underground grotto, specifically to take over these clearing tasks and go to clear out the ratman caves or ratman tribes.
Not only can hunting ratmen be exchanged for servant contribution points, but if you are lucky, you can also find many precious minerals from ratmen caves. These ratmen are naturally good at mining minerals, which can be a windfall.
Of course, from time to time, news of kicking an iron plate, being counterattacked by ferocious ratmen, and wiping out a whole team of people came from various mercenary branches. mercenary hunting teams like this are high-risk and high-reward.
But even if bad news comes out from time to time, there are still a large number of underground adventurous servants who make a living by hunting ratmen. They specialize in "rat lairs" and some small tribes to attack. When they encounter large ratmen tribes, they run away.
