Chapter 256: Soiant boulder appeared a large black rat, its size twice as big as nors in the air, struggling to get up
”Is that it?” Han Yunxi asked from a distance, doubt written on her face The poison beast in her s and claws, violent, ferocious, and huge
”This isn't the Gu Shu The Gu Shu's trapped inside, so it wouldn't be able to get out so easily,” Gu Qishao explained
Han Yunxi exhaled She really thought the Gu Shu had appeared Since the poison beast was called a Gu Shu (蛊鼠),Li were coold where Jun Yixie and Duaniant rat any mind Snakes and rats alike had dens If the labyrinth had dens of snakes, it wasn't surprising that it had dens of rats as well Han Yunxi hadn't old The secret roo too, while Jun Yixie and Duanmu Yao were both far away For now, they hadn't discovered the situation here
”What better ti Li was about to take out the Pear Blossom Rain Needles and shoot them when the white-robed man suddenly spoke up in a low voice
”I'row to this size”
Everyone's faces shi+fted at the news! Flesh-eating rats? Weren't these the predatory rats that only existed in the stuff of legends? Judging by its build, this rat was nothing like a so-called 'predator,' but their attack potential wasn't so that could be described with such a word Like iant swar rats would include at least 100 er swarms had upwards of 1,000 In other words, if there was one flesh-eating rat, then that meant there was a swar-lost flesh eating rats would show up here!?
Long Feiye and Tang Li whirled back to take a look The appearance of the flesh-eating rat forced them to set aside the issue of Jun Yixie for now, because there was nobody in this world that could avoid their swar as nor red, while its sharp, protruding teeth and claere extre it'd be to be swarmed by a mob of such creatures and torn apart Everyone stared silently at the single flesh-eating rat without speaking for a long tirew tense
Finally, Gu Qishao spoke up ”There's no hu?”
”There's norats before I' that the Gu Shu called them over,” the white-robed man said seriously
”You know quite a bit!” Gu Qishao said fully The Gu Shu actually had the ability to summon the creatures of the Sky Pit as soon as it felt threatened, using a signal to attract the closest poison ani with its Sky Pit Death Trap, and also a secret of the medical academy Gu Qishao had stealthily overheard the information, but how did the white-robed man know? Even Gu Qishao had no idea that the Poison Sect had raised flesh-eating rats, so why did this guy kno could a member of the Shadow Clan be privy to so much about the Poison Sect?
Could it be that the Shadow Clan was involved with the Poison Sect somehow?
Gu Qishao's suspicions stacked up one after the other, but he had no way to question the suspect under such dangerous circunored Gu Qishao's doubts and even gave up on probing Han Yunxi Instead he said, ”Miss Yunxi, how long will it take you to old wall?” Unless the wall melted, they had no place to retreat
But just as he finished speaking, a succession of skittering noises sounded froe mob of rats fell down in an unbroken strea upon theh to htened that her entire figure shrank back She retreated a few steps, her screa Feiye's first move was to rush to Han Yunxi's side ”Be careful”
The giant rats kept dropping down Unlike the first one that fell, these rolled on the ground before i over to run their way They didn't attack instantly, but soon hundreds of them had fell down to cos, trapping theh their nu cobras, they were much harder to deal with than snakes This swar rats was very crafty They'd only lock in on one target and work together to crazily kill theht now, each and every one of their scarlet eyes were staring at Han Yunxi and the rest, searching for their first victiulp ”What do we do?”
Ten flesh-eating rats were h to devour a person in under a le person and ate them until only the bones were left, then it'd be the work of seconds No matter whether the others were martial arts or poison experts, they wouldn't be able to kill all the flesh-eating rats in time This was a pure contest of speed and quantity!
”Take a guess, ill they pick first?” Gu Qishao asked playfully, but his face was ashen white He'd definitely die if they ate hi like that was really a little too tragic
”It doesn't htening truth After the flesh-eating rats finished off one person, they'd definitely target the second Legend said that during the Great Qin E rats actually annihilated the ent of an army
”Then all we can do is escape” Before the flesh-eating ratsFeiye turned back to look at Han Yunxi Without his reiant bottle of hyper strength aqua regia and increased the old wall If possible, she'd like to toss the water at the rats instead, but she didn't have enough Even if she did, it was still ie swarm in a short amount of time If she couldn't kill them all at once, then she'd provoke their ire and be the first one to die instead Actually, Han Yunxi had plenty of other poisons capable of killing the flesh-eating rats, but the same reason stood with them These animals were superior in their numbers, speed, and the fact that they acted as one swaria froold doordown its sides More and er and bigger But at the saet All of the their way forward as they prepared to pounce at any instant
”Han Yunxi, go in first when the tiht in front of her Letting her go in first was another way of saying she should escape first
”It's alether!” Han Yunxi used all her strength tothe last bottle to Mu Linger ”Quick, help out!”
Mu Linger was still shaking with fear even now, but she suddenly stilled after getting the aqua regia in her hands Her deep gaze focused on Han Yunxi, as fixated on the Xuan gold door Right now the hole was just about big enough to allow a person passage through Mu Linger clenched the aqua regia tightly as if hesitating about soround arched their backs!
”Not good!” the white-robed er was so frightened that her hands lost their strength, causing the aqua regia to slip past her legs Seeing this, Han Yunxi suddenly pushed her out of the way With a bang, the aqua regia ser hit the floor At thisrats suddenly broke out with a shrill squeak! Under such circuer was their chosen target!
”Mu Linger!” Alarer towards her without a second thought
”Han Yunxi, let go of her right now!” Long Feiye ordered coldly Han Yunxi was si rats wanted to attack Mu Linger, then she'd be targeted as well since she was holding onto her! Han Yunxi really hadn't considered the consequences Her first reaction was to save the person instead
She unconsciously turned towards Long Feiye, but it was already too late In a flash, the flesh-eating rats swar intent
”Han Yunxi!”
”Poison lass!”
Long Feiye and Gu Qishao chorused in unison Right now, they didn't care whether she could be saved,with her Both of them wanted to pull Han Yunxi free But there was someone as faster than either of them A flash of white darted past, its speed so quick that they couldn't even react The white-robed man threw caution to the winds as he ferociously pulled Han Yunxi to the wall on one side, dragging her hand across its surface!
His speed was terrifying, leaving even Han Yunxion beyond a sudden, intense pain pricking her five fingers
Rrrrruold door promptly toppled over!
”Run!” the white-robed h to ensure their escape Fortunately, their reactions were quick Gu Qishao carried Mu Linger while the white-robed h the entrance Unexpectedly, the frenziedjust outside the Xuan gold door They chittered with extremely shrill squeaks, but it wasn't clear whether they were unsatisfied or fearful In any case, none of the people saw this, they finally stopped to heave a breath in relief Just then, they'd all been hanging on the edge of life and death, too dangerous!
Beyond the door was the secret chamber that imprisoned the poison beast Since the poison beast had su inside? And what had happened just then? Why did the door topple forward?
Now that they had a chance to breathe, they began to harbor doubts Long Feiye only asked coldly, ”Han Yunxi, where's that white-robed man?”
As soon as they'd escaped, his first reaction was to look for Han Yunxi, only to discover that she was standing by herself The white-robed man had disappeared to who knohere Han Yunxi stared woodenly at Long Feiye before extending her five fingers, only to see the
Where was the white-robed man?
She didn't know, because what had happened just then had passed by too quickly By the tiold door had fallen, the flesh-eating rats had stopped, and the white-robed inal Chapter Teaser:
