Mechanical Flesh

Chapter 10: The Hunter in the Darkness

As a worm, the black-toothed rat also has a unique ability to control the soil. Although it cannot bring powerful combat power, it can dig holes very fast with its claws. In an underground cave with a length of more than 500 meters, a black-toothed rat It only takes two hours to dig through, and there is no accumulation of muck.

Qi Yuan took an old telescope and silently observed the movement in the direction of the mine. Two hours later, the heavily guarded mine finally saw a slight change.

"The opportunity is here!"

Qi Yuan's eyes were fixed, and he turned his gaze to the mine that was half a person's height under his feet, and chuckled lightly: "I never thought that I would have a day of drilling a mouse hole!"

After discovering that the black-toothed rat had dug a hole into the mine, Qi Yuan did not enter immediately, but waited for the mine guards to relax their guard.

Entrance to the mine.

A miner came out of the mine and said in a panic, "Report sir, a black-toothed rat appeared in the mine!"

"Black-toothed rat!" Hu Hao frowned upon hearing this.

The strength of the black-toothed rat is average. If it is outside, a fully armed warrior can completely deal with it alone, but the underground mines are intricate, and the black-toothed rat is fast and good at digging holes, so it is difficult to hunt and kill.

If left alone, the black-toothed rats are allowed to wreak havoc in the mine, and it is easy to affect the miners' mining. Once the black-toothed rats see blood, they will become very aggressive and even attack humans actively.

In addition to the abandonment of another mine, apart from the shadow lizards entrenched in the depths of the mine, the group of blood-stained black-toothed rats was also a powerful obstacle.

After pondering for a moment, Hu Hao continued to ask:

"Did the black-toothed rat disturb the rock lizard inside!"

"No."

Hu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily there was no chaos.

There has always been a rock lizard in the depths of the mine. This rock lizard has multiple first-level abilities including first-level defense. Although it is not as powerful as the shadow lizard in another mine, it is still very powerful. Few people in Blackstone Town could kill the difficult insect beast unless it was lured outside the mine and attacked with heavy weapons.

Fortunately, the aggressiveness of the rock lizard is not too strong. If there is enough food, as long as it does not intrude into its territory, the rock lizard will generally not take the initiative to hunt.

In order to avoid the rock lizard riot, someone would feed flesh and blood to the rock lizard deep in the cave every five days, and the two sides have lived in peace for more than half a year.

After thinking for a while, Hu Hao quickly made a decision.

"I'm going to deal with the black-toothed rat. You guard the mine and don't allow anyone to get close. No matter who it is, just get close and kill it immediately!"

"clear!"

After the order was issued, the surrounding soldiers quickly lifted their spirits, and no one dared to be negligent in the safety of the mine.

Before stepping into the mine, Hu Hao suddenly said to the only soldier who did not hold a gun: "You also come down together."

The soldiers named by Hu Hao kept playing with two round mud balls with both hands. Hearing that, with a slight shake of his hands, the two mud balls suddenly melted and stretched out, quickly turning into two heavy daggers.

Qi Yuan watched the two enter the cave, and about half an hour later, when the two walked out of the mine, Hu Hao Hu Hao had a dead black-toothed rat in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Qi Yuan suddenly smiled slightly, bent over, carried the last black-toothed rat, and walked into the cave.

Although the black-toothed mouse has dug as big as possible when digging the cave, the height of the cave is still less than half a meter. With Qi Yuan's height, he can only crawl forward in the depths. Fortunately, there is a black-toothed mouse in front of him to help Widen so you don't get stuck on raised rocks.

In the cave, there are fine and sharp stones everywhere, but the steel defense is strong, and he crawls all the way forward, but it just scratches the combat uniform on his body and does not leave a wound.

Along the cave dug by the first black-toothed rat, Qi Yuan clearly felt that the check-in point was getting closer.

A powerful extraordinary ability is beckoning to me!

When the distance from the sensing sign-in point was less than 200 meters, the narrow cave suddenly became spacious enough for a burly middle-aged man to pass normally, obviously he had already entered the mine.

"They didn't block the cave!"

Qi Yuan looked at the dark mine with some surprise, the surrounding soil exuded weak fluorescence, which became the only light source in the darkness, so that he would not lose sight of his fingers.

With the help of the faint fluorescence, Qi Yuan faintly noticed something was wrong.

There are no miner's lamps in the mine!

Unless they have dark vision, this kind of light will definitely make people get lost in the mine. Those miners are ordinary people, and it is impossible to work under this kind of light.

Moreover, there are not only no patrolling soldiers around, nor even the sound of miners digging, it seems extremely quiet.

Qi Yuan turned around and took a closer look at the mine dug by the black-toothed rat, only to find that the underground cave at the back was much smoother than the front one, and it didn't look like a passage dug by the black-toothed rat at all.

"It's no wonder the cave was not sealed, and there were no traces of the miner's lamp. It turns out that there is a hidden ability user who can override the soil in the mine, and directly connected the cave dug by the black-toothed mouse to other areas!"

Qi Yuan instantly sensed Hu Hao's conspiracy. In such a short period of time, only a person with the ability to manipulate the soil can dig out such a cave.

"Being able to become the captain of the mine protection team, this Hu Hao really has some tricks, and he dug a hole for me without making a sound!"

Qi Yuan glanced at the depths of the cave, the fluorescence was weak, and he could only see a short distance, not far away at all.

After realizing that this was a trap set by the other party, Qi Yuan fell into a dilemma. The check-in point was less than two hundred meters away from him. If he quit now, it would be difficult to come back. what danger.

After a moment of silence, Qi Yuan finally made a decision. In this dangerous new era, even with a talent tree, he must bear various risks. The setting of these check-in points was originally a test.

Qi Yuan had a vague premonition that he was already very close. If he chose to leave now because of fear, this check-in point might disappear and never appear again.

Looking around the cave, Qi Yuan found some traces of miners digging ore, which means that this place is still in the mine, but this section was abandoned later, the reason for the abandonment is self-evident, it must be the danger inside, Let the mine guard team outside have to do this.

The danger inside may not be as terrifying as imagined!

Because although this mine was abandoned for a while, it was not completely abandoned like the other mine.

The black-toothed rat also became quiet. Its perception is stronger than that of humans, and it has already sensed the existence of danger.

"Go ahead and explore the way."

Qi Yuan put the muzzle of a gun on the head of the black-toothed rat, forcing the poor beast to walk ahead.

The black-toothed rat was obviously a little scared, but under the threat of Qi Yuan, he had no choice but to continue walking forward.

The black-toothed rat approached the depths of the cave little by little, and Qi Yuan slowed down his breathing and followed behind.

As the check-in point got closer and closer, the body of the black-toothed mouse also trembled slightly. Qi Yuan stared intently at the depths of the darkness, and his right hand holding Feiying felt a little wet and greasy. It was the sweat oozing out from the accelerated metabolism.

Ninety meters!

Eighty meters!

Seventy meters!

Sixty meters!

fifty meters

...

The closer he got, the tighter Qi Yuan's nerves became, and he could even hear his own rapid heartbeat.

When the distance to the check-in point was less than 30 meters, Qi Yuan suddenly found that the surrounding mines became more empty, as if entering a huge underground lair!

This is entering the lair of worms!

The moment Qi Yuan noticed the change in the cave, there was a rapid sound of breaking through the darkness.

Whoosh!

Something is approaching in the dark!

Very fast!

Qi Yuan's scalp felt numb instantly as if he had been electrocuted, and the black-toothed rat who had been walking in front let out a whine, turned around and prepared to run away.

Before the black-toothed rat turned around, it was captured by an invisible force. It seemed that an invisible hand appeared in the darkness, dragging it into the darkness in an instant, and disappeared.

Squeak!

In the darkness ahead, the black-toothed rat screamed in fear, and finally there was a series of juicy chewing sounds, and the screams of the black-toothed rat stopped abruptly.
