Mercenaries and Adventurers

There are still many dung beetles under the sewage outlet, they gather together, push the dung ball from the edge of the sewage outlet to the grass on the slope, and roll away far away. But they may have forgotten that the round dung ball is easy to roll, and it will also roll down due to the potential energy of gravity on the slope. As a result, the Shikeng Langs can only chase after their precious dung balls in a hurry.

Zhao Ji looked amused, and picked up the small stones at his feet and threw them. The smashed insects scattered like birds and beasts, and hid in the crevices of the stones and under the leaves of the grass.

"Squeak, squeak." More than a dozen gray mice scurried out from the sewage outlet, and they swarmed along the entire brick wall of the sewage outlet. Cracks climbed up and into rat holes between the outfalls and the grass on the slopes.

The last mouse in the row was suddenly hit by a puddle of mucus thrown from the sewage outlet. The gray fur was firmly glued together with mucus, and the long tail was also glued to the fur, and the dung balls piled up by many dung beetles were also stuck to the body.

Amidst the panicked squeaks of the rats, a ball of mucus slowly crawled out of the black hole of the sewage outlet. Zhao Ji lay on the ground, not daring to make a sound, and stared straight at what happened below.

The ball of mucus ignored the rat that was screaming more and more fiercely, slowly crawled to its side, stretched out a few cylindrical slime tentacles, touched the sticky mouse, and then seemed to confirm something, the whole mucus The group jumped on it.

The mouse's screams and struggles were instantly covered by the slime monster, and only a small vibration could be seen in the slime ball, but it disappeared after a while.

The slime monster stayed in place for a while, and then slowly crawled back into the dark sewage outlet.

"Huh, so it's a slime monster. It's a slow-moving monster, but it can hunt sensitive animals like mice. There really are such monsters in the sewers of the town. Are the people in the town never afraid? Inquire The information that comes is inaccurate. The slime monster’s spit is not corrosive slime but strong sticky slime. Does this mean that the wooden shield is useless? Well, it can’t be said that it is useless. It's good. I still have to use a wooden shield to block it." Zhao Ji said to himself lying on the spot.

Zhao Ji observed the size of the slime monster just now. It is not difficult to slash with his self-made dagger. Such a big puddle can be hit no matter what. The only problem is whether the tip of the dagger can cause effective damage.

Just cut one and try it out, Zhao Ji thought, he returned to the place where the bedding was placed, took the equipment that could be used and returned to the sewage outlet.

"Well, the slime monster is hunting mice, so I'll set a trap, but I have to catch a mouse as bait first." Zhao Ji said to himself, and picked up a broken stone from the ground , with a hard throw, it hit a mouse that was crawling out of the mouse hole opposite the sewage channel. All of a sudden, he smashed the mouse silently. Zhao Ji himself didn't expect his aim to be so good this time, but he threw the stone just by feeling.

Going around in a circle and coming to the opposite side, Zhao Ji stomped down the mouse hole with both feet to prevent other mice from getting in the way. Ignoring the annoyed squeaks of mice coming from the collapsed mouse hole, Zhao Ji took out an extra piece of thin hemp rope from his body, tied the mouse from the middle of his body, and tied the other end of the rope to his On the snake driving stick with the forked head. Holding one end of the snake driving stick with one hand, the other hand threw the mouse down the sewage outlet.

Zhao Ji lay down in the grass, using the grass to cover his figure, and waited for a while, but there was no slime monster.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement of the slime monster.

As a last resort, Zhao Ji could only reluctantly imitate the mouse's cry: "Cough cough, chirp! Chirp! I am a mouse, chirp, the slime monster is coming to eat me, chirp! I am delicious and fresh, chirp!" Squeak! Squeak!"

There is movement! Zhao Ji let out a cry of "Squeak! Squeak!"

While carefully observing the shadow of the sewage outlet.

There was something moving slowly inside, and Zhao Ji probably saw it clearly. It was a slime monster about one size smaller than the slime monster just now, and it was called slime monster No. 2.

Slime Monster No. 2 crawled slowly in the shadow of the sewage outlet, showing no intention of coming out. At this time, the sun had already slanted to the west, and the entire sewage outlet on the gentle slope in the south of the city was not directly illuminated by the sun's rays from the sky. It may be said that slime monsters are afraid of sunlight, but in the face of their easy-to-reach mice, you have to give it a try anyway.

"Come out, slime monster No. 2, you will have fresh mice to eat when you come out." While imitating the squeaking of mice, Zhao Ji muttered in a low voice.

In this way, the scene was deadlocked, seeing that the slime monster had no intention of coming out, Zhao Ji wondered if the mouse hadn’t moved, and the slime monster couldn’t find where the mouse was, similar to the hunting principle of a frog, you have to move to confirm.

Zhao Ji swung the snake-repelling stick left and right, and the rat corpse in the sewage drain moved accordingly.

The slime monster stopped its slow crawling body and froze.

There is a door! Zhao Ji then swung the snake stick twice left and right, and the mouse moved twice accordingly.

The slime monster stretched out a thicker tentacle from the top of its head, swinging from side to side.

Hehe, Zhao Ji picked up the snake repelling stick, the mouse jumped up and down, and its long tail slapped on the dirty waterway ground.

Suddenly, the slime monster sprayed out a cloud of mucus from its raised tentacles, and the mucus flew several meters away, hitting the dead mouse accurately. This startled Zhao Ji, and quickly swung the snake driving stick left and right, imitating the movement of a mouse struggling. The mouse corpse was covered with a lot of sticky mucus, so it was covered with a lot of feces during the shaking. Zhao Ji imitated the voice of the mouse: "Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" The slime monster also slowly crawled over.

Closer, closer, two meters, one meter. Zhao Ji clenched the dagger in his right hand, waiting for the slime monster to approach.

The slime monster stretched out its tentacles and touched the mouse corpse, then grabbed the mouse corpse and pulled it into its body. Zhao Ji felt a pulling force. Right now, he swung the Ge held tightly in his right hand, and the tip of the sharp dagger pierced fiercely into the slime monster's body.
