Chapter 61: Rat Removal All of these rat soldiers had fierce gleams in their eyes, and were not at all cowardly as the word "as cowardly as rats", as if the pain only deepened their ferocity. They were either burned to the point of their clothes being torn into pieces and their bodies still on fire, or their original forms were burnt out by the flames, revealing a rat head with fierce and ferocious expressions. Rushing towards them like this, even if they were short, they were still scary. Unexpectedly, just as he approached the three people, a whistle stick swept towards him along the ground. The stick blows fiercely and the sobbing continues. After all, they were just rats, how could they stop the stick? Two rat soldiers were immediately swept away! This stick was struck by a woman. Although the little junior sister is young and does not know many magic spells, she has seen many ferocious monsters and ghosts while following the old Taoist priest. In addition, she has heard the senior brothers chatting in the temple, and she has seen the company of clouded leopards and sometimes dealt with mountain monsters when she went up the mountain to repair roads. How could she be afraid of these little monsters? Besides, given her personality, even if she was afraid, she would never show it and would just treat it as an ordinary rat. Senior Brother Seven also took the temple broom. "Bang bang bang..." At one point, sticks were swung down in disorder, some aimed and some hit randomly, making these rat soldiers run away in panic with their heads in their hands. It would be fine if you could dodge it, but if you were hit hard by the stick, there would be no way out and the only result would be that your body would become stiff and fall straight to the ground, transforming into your original form.
Even the immature fox rushed over and bit a rat soldier who was running nearby. However, these rat soldiers were numerous after all, and had the advantage of flexibility, so some of them still ran from the innermost part to Lin Jue. I don’t know if it was because the old woman was in Lin Jue’s hands, or if they regarded Lin Jue as the leader of the three, these rat soldiers seemed to be particularly resentful of Lin Jue, and they all rushed towards him. When he rushed close to him, he shouted even louder. "Squeak!" How could Lin Jue be afraid of them? A ball of flame suddenly burst out, hitting the ground, spreading out along the ground like a brilliant flower, followed closely by a heavy hatchet. The blade seemed to cut through the flames. A few rat soldiers had just rushed out of the flames, and before they could regain their sight, they were hit hard by the hatchet. After chopping wood in the mountains for two months, I have already mastered the way to swing the axe. Although the axe is thick and heavy, the blade is straight. Cut it in two with one knife, no suspense! Only the leader of the rat soldiers, who was more skilled in Taoism, stepped back and avoided the blade. Then a fierce light flashed in its eyes. As if he felt he had caught an opportunity, he rushed forward madly, trying to take advantage of the gap left by the blade to rush to Lin Jue. However, he never expected that the heavy hatchet had just been swung, but it was immediately swung back, hitting him hard with the back of the knife, and swept it away and hit the wooden door next to it. "Squeak..." These rat soldiers were finally scared. It seemed that he understood that these people were not the ordinary people in the city who were scared to death when they saw monsters, and they were not so easy to bully, so he ran back at a faster speed. “Please spare my life, sir! “Please spare my life, sir! "Spare my life!" A hatchet was placed next to the leader of the rat soldiers. As soon as Lin Jue approached it, it was frightened and exploded with a bang. The black mist exploded and it turned into a big gray rat. Accompanied by a foul smell.
Lin Jue frowned and stepped out with one foot, hitting its tail. If the monsters he met along the way made him lose his fear of them, then before this, since most of the monsters he met were respectable, Lin Jue had some respect for the monsters in his heart. But now, this group of rat monsters that stole people's money and dared to harm people made him lose his respect for the monsters as a group. "Tell me! Why do you steal people's money?" "Serious man, have mercy!" "Say!" "Maybe you'll forgive me if I tell you?" "Cut the nonsense!" "Of course, of course it's useful!" The big gray rat on the ground was as big as a cat. Its eyeballs rolled around. It was timid all its life, and its ferocious nature disappeared without a trace. "So where did you hide the stolen money?" "Real people are here for money? Then if you let us go, we will return the money to you!" The name of the rat demon changes naturally. With a snap, the hatchet fell to the ground. "You still dare to negotiate with me?" "We are not negotiating terms! If you are not an idiot, you will know clearly! You killed two of our family members and injured so many of our family members. If you want to kill us all, how can we give you money? What's more, if you kill us all, you will never get any money in this life!" "..." This mouse is really smart. "You said I beat and killed your family members. Haven't you ever killed anyone? Moreover, you stole so much money in the city. Do you think that no one will die because of it? Moreover, if you didn't raise your knives and shoot arrows as soon as we met, how could I beat and kill you?" Lin Jue said in a deep voice. "This……" The big gray mouse's eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking, and then he decisively avoided the topic: "What the master said makes sense, but is there room for negotiation on this matter?" "What do you want to discuss with you?" "We are extremely rebellious and have stolen a lot of silver in the city. It is reasonable for the real person to be so angry. But why doesn't the real person think about it? For us mice, it is a great opportunity to become spirits by chance. How can we all become spirits with our families? What's more, even if we become spirits, what can we do with silver? It's better to steal a few handfuls of rice and a few pieces of pickled meat to have a full meal." "What do you mean?" Lin Jue frowned, "Someone instructed you?" "I said this only to prove that we are not the culprit. My purpose is to save my life. If I say it completely, wouldn't I still die?" The big gray mouse's eyes rolled around, thinking quickly: "The Immortal is right. Silver is a person's life, and a person's life is definitely more valuable than a rat's life. The silver we stole from this temple last night is still in the cave below, but it's dozens of feet deep, so only rats like us can get it, and it will be taken away tomorrow at the latest. If the Immortal lets me and my family go, we will return all the silver to the Immortal right now, otherwise we will never get it back." "You are so smart..." “We are helpless too.” "..." Lin Jue stood there for a moment, looking at it with a sneer. The two people in the room looked at Lin Jue.
Only the little fox sat at his feet, keeping watch for other mice and the holes in the wall. The big gray mouse was very nervous and his heart was beating very fast. "That money is not mine, so it's good to take it back. If I can't take it back, it's not a loss for me." Lin Jue stared at him with a fierce look in his eyes. "It's not that easy to let you go." When the big gray rat saw the fierce look, it was almost frightened to death. I lost 80% to 90% of my confidence. If you fall into such a situation during negotiations, you will be considered a loser. "Squeak..." The big gray mouse was very panicked. Lin Jue's eyes flickered, but he sighed in his heart, knowing that in the flood, this money might really be able to buy his life, so he turned around and looked at the distance from here to the corner: "I'll give you one chance at most." "what chance!?" "Send two people to get the money, not a cent less, and leave the rest here. If you cheat, I will burn all of you who stay here to death. If you get all the money back, I will give you five breaths to escape. If you can escape, it's your ability, but if you can't, it's your bad luck." "Two people? Oh! Squeak!" The big gray mouse pondered, "How long is five breaths?" "that is……" Lin Jue looked at it silently and took five breaths. "so long." "Ten breaths!" "No room for negotiation!" Lin Jue's voice suddenly became heavier. The big gray mouse was startled and answered hurriedly: "it is good!" "Those who stay here include you and this old man." "..." The big gray mouse rolled his eyes and kept examining the distance from here to the corner. With no other choice, he agreed. So the two big gray rats climbed up with difficulty, walked away, stopped and walked, and then went back into the hole. The rest stayed with Lin Jue and were also blocked in the corner as hostages. The swords, bows and arrows piled on the other side looked like children's toys, but one could not ignore their sharpness. When the two mice came out again, there were four mice. The remaining two were very small, and they had not yet fully transformed into humans, with a rat head still remaining. They started moving silver out.
Only one piece can be carried at a time. Lin Jue sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting patiently. It's strange to say, at this time, they had only defeated this group of rat monsters and reached a temporary agreement, not a reconciliation. When Lin Jue looked at the leader of the rat soldiers again, his mentality was surprisingly much calmer. "I have talked with you and found that you are very smart. You must be aware of the dangers of helping others do such things. Why do you continue to help the tyrant?" Lin Jue looked at the increasing amount of silver and money on the ground in the temple in front of him. Although he was still wary of the actions of these rat soldiers, he also asked. "How can the world of monsters be compared to that of humans?" "How to say?" "We rats often live with humans. We often listen to people talking and reading on the beams and walls. We know that humans have rules and morals. But demons don't." The rat leader said weakly, "For us, it is not easy to be free in the wild. If we can't get it, it depends on whether the gods who govern this place are strict and whether the big demons who rule this place are tyrannical." As he said this he could not help but sigh: "They are just mice. You killed two with one blow. How can you feel strange? If they were really stepped on to death by a big monster or punished by the gods for a small mistake, how can we seek justice?" "..." Lin Jue stopped talking. (End of this chapter)
