Chapter 60: Rat Man? (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month) It was already pitch black, and they couldn't practice or talk, and there seemed to be nothing else to do except sleep, so at first they could see each other's sparkling eyes in the darkness, and hear some rustling sounds like someone raising a hand, turning around, or groping, but soon all they could hear was each other's even breathing. Lin Jue touched the axe and stick beside him from time to time, and gradually fell asleep. Although I was sleeping, I was still somewhat alert. Lin Jue would wake up once at the slightest movement, or if there was no movement and he felt he had slept for a while, he would wake up once, then touch the silver in his arms and continue to sleep. I don’t know how much time passed, but it was already getting dark. In the dark night, the little fox suddenly opened its eyes, as if it had caught some movement, and raised its head first. However, it did not look at the window on the wall beside it, but looked towards the innermost part of the temple, behind the statue. Even in the darkness, in its eyes, it could see a pitch-black hole there. Its eyeballs rolled twice very smartly. It didn't make a sound, but buried its head again, just using its wet nose tip to slightly touch Lin Jue's body. Lin Jue was not in a deep sleep to begin with, so he woke up immediately.
But he also made the same choice as the little fox - Close your eyes, keep breathing, and remain silent. One continued to sit against the wall with his brain alert, and the other continued to lie in a ball, with only a little bit of his eyes showing from his furry front paws, looking in that direction. "call……" Suddenly, a cloud of gray smoke came out of the cave. The night was as dark as ink, and the grey smoke hidden in it also turned into ink, spreading unnoticed and gradually filling the entire temple. Lin Jue just subconsciously held his breath for a moment, then immediately let it go and continued to breathe evenly. In fact, he was aware of the existence of the gray smoke the first time he breathed it in. He didn't know if this Yin Qi could be concealed from other practitioners, but it was hard to conceal it from practitioners who also practiced Yin and Yang spiritual methods. But then he immediately discovered that the owner of the gray smoke was not very advanced, and this little bit of magic power was absorbed by him. Even if he didn't use Yang Qi to resist, it was of limited use. After taking a few more puffs, I could smell a slightly nauseating smell in the gray smoke, like a stench of decay. Fortunately, I can hold it in. What Lin Jue was worried about was his junior sister and seventh senior brother. I wonder if they can detect it, whether they will be tricked unknowingly, or whether they will suddenly become alert and alert the enemy. Fortunately, there was no noise around me. After a while, I heard a rustling sound coming from the foot of the wall, mixed with a slight gasp. The panting sounded like an old woman, like she was climbing a mountain, and there was a sigh in the panting. It lasted for a few breaths, and then the panting stopped. After a few more breaths, there was a sudden sniffing sound next to me, and it sounded like it was next to the seventh senior brother who was closer inside. "what?" There was a slight sound. Then the sniffing sound stopped. Then Lin Jue keenly noticed that the breathing of the junior sister beside him stagnated slightly, and then he realized that this thing came to his side - Lin Jue guessed that it should have crawled over from the junior sister's legs, and the junior sister was obviously awake, but did not open her eyes.
Then the sound of sniffing sounded beside him. The thing grabbed hold of his trouser legs and climbed up his legs. "Hiss..." The sniffing continued. Although Lin Jue closed his eyes, he could vaguely feel that this thing was about the size of a human head and weighed about seven or eight kilograms. It had already stepped on the root of his thigh and was close to his arms. I just felt the clothes in my arms being pulled open. "No wait!" An idea flashed through Lin Jue's mind, and he stretched out his hand like lightning and grabbed the thing. I just felt like I was holding a little man in my hand. The other hand quickly reached for the hatchet. "puff……" A burst of flames burst out, lighting up the temple. In an instant, I saw its true appearance—— It turned out to be an old woman wearing gray cloth clothes, which were only about as long as a human forearm. Her skin was gray and full of wrinkles. As soon as she was caught by him, she immediately struggled and shouted wildly. "squeak!!!" Like the sound of a mouse. Almost at the same time, the two people and the fox beside them also stood up. The seventh brother went to light the lamp, the little fox looked at the hole at the foot of the wall vigilantly, and the little sister picked up Lin Jue's whistle stick. It turned out that they had also noticed it, woke up, and were also waiting in silence. very good! Only a few obscure incantations were heard from the Seventh Senior Brother, and no other movements were seen. Then the lamps in the temple lit up, illuminating the temple, but there was clearly no oil in the lamps. With the help of the light, Lin Jue looked down at the thing and frowned. What is this? The legendary 僬姚? At this time, the little old woman was still struggling and shouting desperately in his hands. She was still very strong, and her hands turned into claws, waving wildly, trying to grab Lin Jue. Lin Jue almost couldn't catch her. Of course, we can't let her go. Lin Jue's expression froze, his anger rose to his throat, and the hatchet was against the old woman's neck. "..." The little old woman was stunned and immediately stopped struggling.
"Who are you? Why do you steal people's money? What's the use of stealing money?" Lin Jue asked quickly. "let me go!" The voice was shrill, and even though he was shouting at the top of his lungs, it wasn't as loud as a human voice. The little fox couldn't help but come closer and sniff her, his eyes sparkling. "You can talk? If you can, answer me!" Lin Jue was only slightly surprised, and then he talked to her as if he was talking to a thief. "Otherwise, even if I don't kill you and hand you over to the government, or hand you over to the City God Temple, no one will let you go!" "Let me go!" the little old woman still shouted. The seventh senior brother beside him was very confused. The little junior sister was also confused, confused and nervous. After taking a closer look, she raised her whistle stick and poked it behind the old woman, picking up a shiny tail. It looks like a rat's tail. "A rat turned into a spirit?" The seventh senior brother spoke. "let me go!" At this moment, the little fox suddenly took a few steps, walked from Lin Jue's side to his front, with its back to him, dragging an extremely fluffy tail, and looking towards the foot of the wall. "how?" Lin Jue also turned to look. The three of them stopped talking tacitly, and the temple became quiet. There was another noise coming from there. In the light of the fire, I could see a hole as big as a bowl at the foot of the wall, like a rat hole. I didn't know where it led to, but there were rustling sounds inside, as if something was climbing up. "call……" A thick cloud of gray smoke billowed out of the cave. Before Lin Jue could make a move, the little sister opened her eyes wide, took a step forward with her whistle stick in hand, and took a deep breath, so much so that her cheeks puffed up. "Bang!!" A huge burst of flames burst out of her mouth. The flame and the smoke collided with each other and with a hissing sound, they melted away and illuminated the temple brightly again. "Squeak!" "Oh!" There were a few sounds of rats chirping and people shouting in pain, and suddenly several young men rushed out from the firelight. They were also wearing gray cloth clothes and had a long, smooth gray tail that was only as high as a person's knee. There were still a steady stream of little people crawling out of the cave at the back.
Some held bows and arrows, some held knives. Of course, in their hands, the knives became long swords. When they saw the old woman being caught, a group of villains standing at the foot of the wall, they knew that they had failed and could not help but stare. Then they saw Lin Jue holding the hatchet across the old woman's neck, and they were immediately filled with anger and screamed. Seven or eight archers stepped forward first, drew their bows and arrows without saying a word, and aimed at Lin Jue. Although they are small, their bows are all "longbows", almost as long as their height, and the arrows are nearly one foot long, probably similar to the crossbow arrows of some pocket crossbows. The arrows are very sharp. "Suddenly..." The little people shot their arrows almost at the same time. "wind!" Arrows rained down. A strong wind blew up in the temple. Lin Jue didn't know how strong their bows and arms were, so after summoning the wind, he quickly stretched out his hands to block in front of him and dodged to the side. After dodging, look over there again. The bows in the hands of many villains have become empty bows. The arrow made no sound. Lin Jue looked down and saw that it had not fallen to the ground. He turned around and saw that it had not hit the wall behind him. He looked to the side and saw that Seventh Senior Brother had just finished waving his sleeves and let his hands drop. "Wow..." Seven or eight arrows had somehow found their way into his sleeves and were falling out of them. Scattered on the ground. Many of the rat people were stunned. Their eyes were pitch black with no whites visible, and they were flashing in the darkness, as if they were thinking madly. "let me go!!" The old woman in Lin Jue's arms shouted again. The ratmen finally reacted, looked at each other, and quickly drew their bows and shot arrows again. "Suddenly..." "Suddenly..." He shot two bursts in a row with almost no interval in between. Then Senior Brother Seven waved his sleeves twice, and the sharp arrows disappeared in the air. Then Senior Brother Seven lowered his sleeves, and like a magic trick, all the arrows fell out of his sleeves. "Aah!" Many rat people were shocked and angry.
But after hearing a few shouts, the group of ratmen standing behind the archers all waved their long swords and ran towards the three people. Seeing this, seven or eight archers either pulled out small knives from their backs or pulled out a few sharp arrows as weapons and also ran towards the group. Although it was only as high as a person's knee, he was shouting and charging forward, and there was actually some intimidating momentum. There was another rat man standing at the back, who took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of gray smoke towards everyone. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been scared a long time ago. But how could a person be bullied by such a monster? "Boom..." Just as the gray smoke passed the ratmen and rushed to the front, it saw a large canopy of bright yellow flames coming towards it, accompanied by strong winds. The flames took advantage of each other's momentum and collided with the gray smoke, making a hissing sound and annihilating each other. Many rat soldiers were burned and screamed. The flames and smoke both blocked vision. One would have thought that the rat soldiers would be pissing and shitting in fear after being set on fire, but unexpectedly, before the flames had dissipated, a rat soldier came out of the fire with a long knife in his hand. There were several rat soldiers following behind him. (End of this chapter)
