Ji Xiaoxi was looking at the big strange rat with a shocked expression. It was obvious that even she, who often traveled deep into the Longyin Mountain, had never seen the shape of the rat.
Hearing Zu An's words, she just woke up from a dream, and hurriedly took out a pill from the small bag she carried with her and handed it to him: "Take this quickly, and you won't have to worry about the poison on me."
Zu An took the little blue pill and was shocked when he heard this: "This medicine can make you immune to the poison. Aren't you afraid that I will do anything wrong to you?"
Ji Xiaoxi's face turned red and her eyes secretly glanced at his belly: "You are different from other men. What's more, we have to stay in the secret realm for ten days. We need to help each other to protect ourselves. You will be poisoned every time we come into contact. It's not that convenient.
.”
Zu An naturally knew what her eyes represented. He never thought that his special situation could bring such benefits. No wonder so many people pretended to be gay to get close to their best friends in the past life. It turns out that it can reduce the wariness to the greatest extent, and the effect is so good: "
Did your father give you this pill?"
It's strange to say that Ji Dentu was so protective of her, how could he make such pills?
"I developed this myself." Ji Xiaoxi's face turned red, "Dad and I have learned a lot over the years, so we tried to make it."
Zu Anxin thought it was no wonder, but suddenly realized: "There won't be any problem if you eat this thing, right?"
Ji Xiaoxi waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, the medicinal materials I chose are very mild and won't have any side effects."
Zu An was relieved. After swallowing the pill, the itching and stinging on his hands disappeared quickly. He tried touching the other person's clothes, and sure enough, the reaction to the poisoning was no longer there.
He touched her hair again and pinched her cheek in disbelief. Sure enough, everything was fine from beginning to end.
"Azu, you hurt me." Ji Xiaoxi rubbed her cheek and said with some resentment.
Zu An laughed: "The skin is good."
"Zhizhi~zhizhizhi~" At this moment, the angry voice of the strange rat came from not far away.
It didn't understand. Not only were these two guys not afraid when they saw it, they even showed affection there, completely pretending it didn't exist.
Seeing its hair explode, the two finally came to their senses:
"Xiao Xi, do you recognize this thing?"
"I've never seen it before, but it doesn't seem to have a strong aura."
"Yeah, I think so too."
Although he didn't understand what the two were talking about, the strange rat felt the contempt in their eyes and became a little angry. He squeaked and rushed towards the two of them, opening his mouth with his huge front teeth and biting.
After all, Zu An and Ji Xiaoxi were both at level 3. Although the strange rat was fast, the two of them still dodged it calmly.
"Almost second-grade." Based on the speed and strength shown by the other party, Zu An made a rough judgment in his mind. Not only was this kind of strength for him now, but it was not too dangerous when he went to Jackal Valley.
But what happened to those thorns just now?
As if in response to his doubts, the strange rat suddenly arched its body, and its whole body seemed to have swelled by half.
If you take a closer look, you will see that it is not that it itself has grown bigger, but that the hairs on its body are standing up, making it look a bit bigger.
"Be careful!" Ji Xiaoxi suddenly exclaimed at the side.
The hair on the back of the strange rat suddenly shot out, and three hard thorns shot straight towards Zu An.
"It's actually a remote one!"
Zu An complained while dodging. With his current speed, even if he didn't use Sunflower Phantom, it wouldn't be a big problem.
He noticed that the color of the tuft of hair on the back of the opponent's head was obviously different from the rest. The hair on the strange rat's body was mainly brown, but that tuft of hair looked more yellow, and the hard thorns it shot seemed to be all those yellow hairs.
Seeing that it missed the target, the strange rat became anxious, arched its back again, and shot out several hard thorns.
Zu An drew out his long sword while hiding this time, and practiced the accuracy of his swordsmanship by knocking several of the thorns away.
Why didn't this guy attack Ji Xiaoxi? Does it mean that the rat family also cares about face?
But in terms of looks alone, how am I inferior to her?
After a few more rounds of shooting, but seeing that he still missed the opponent, the strange rat's two little eyes rolled around and he turned around and ran away.
But Zu An stopped it with a jump: "Don't go, I haven't had enough yet?"
The strange rat was furious and shot three more shots, but they were still easily avoided by the opponent.
The strange rat tried to escape again, but was stopped again. After several rounds, it had a large bald patch on the back of its head.
The fury value from the Golden-haired Monster Rat is +6+6+6+6...
Zu An was delighted. It turned out that this guy could also provide anger points, so he couldn't stop anymore.
After a while, the golden-haired monster finally became completely bald, and Zu An finally decided to kill it.
"Forget it, it's quite pitiful." Ji Xiaoxi tried to dissuade her. The tearful look in the strange rat's eyes made her feel a little unbearable.
"Okay." Of course, Zu An would not refuse a cute girl's simple request. He waved his hand casually, and the strange rat quickly disappeared into the grass as if he had been granted amnesty.
"I don't think there is much danger in this world." Zu An was a little worried at first, but now after the battle with the strange rat, he suddenly became more confident, "Is the academy overly cautious?"
Ah, bah, bah, bah, after watching so many TV series, I can’t stand the flag.
Ji Xiaoxi shook his head: "This should still be on the outskirts of the secret realm, so the level of the ferocious beasts here is not very high. If you go deeper, you should encounter guys that are more difficult to deal with."
Zu An hummed. At this time, he was more worried about Shi Kun's plan and how the other party planned to deal with him.
Take action personally?
Probably not. How could someone in a position of power like them be willing to dirty their hands?
Hey, why do I use the word dirty?
At this moment, he suddenly heard a rustling sound and subconsciously turned around: "Xiao Xi, did you hear anything?"
"No?" Ji Xiaoxi looked confused.
"Oh." Zu An started to think again. Shi Kun was unwilling to do it himself. This time Xue'er came in again. She was definitely going to take action. However, after what happened last time, she was not afraid to experience pregnancy and childbirth again.
Feel.
It seems that she is not the only one.
Xixisuosuo~
At this time, there was another sound, and even Ji Xiaoxi heard it. The two turned around with wary expressions, and then their expressions changed at the same time, because there were more figures of strange golden-haired rats in the grass.
If there were just a few of them, it wouldn't be a big problem, but if you look around, there are so many small eyes staring at you, and you feel really panicked.
"How much is this?" Zu An swallowed.
"Let's just say there are hundreds of them. You can't see clearly from behind, but it's not impossible that there are thousands of them." Ji Xiaoxi was also a little flustered. Girls are relatively more afraid of these things.
Suddenly, a strange golden-haired rat jumped out, squeaking and calling to a companion who was obviously huge, and pointed in the direction of the two of them. Although I couldn't understand what it was saying, I could definitely feel it.
It is accusing something with all its sound and color.
"Do you think this one looks familiar?" Zu An's eyes fell on the bare skin on the back of its head.
"It seems to be the one just now." Ji Xiaoxi swallowed, and she could clearly feel her nervousness.
The largest golden-haired strange rat made several harsh calls, and the golden-haired strange rats all arched their bodies.
Zu An's expression changed drastically, he hurriedly grabbed Ji Xiaoxi's hand and ran away.
What a joke, maybe a few spikes shot out can be dealt with, but hundreds or thousands of them are no less than a rain of arrows shot by an army. No matter how you dodge and move around, I will shoot them for you in minutes.
hedgehog.
As soon as they left, the place where they were standing was covered with spikes covering a radius of more than ten feet. Seeing them dodge, the golden-haired monster rats also became angry, and they all squeaked and chased them. Wherever they passed,
All the weeds half as tall as a man fell down, and looking from a distance, it seemed like a wave was chasing the two of them.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been soft-hearted and let one go, it wouldn't be like this." Ji Xiaoxi's tone was full of apology.
"It has nothing to do with you. No one thought there were so many of these things." Zu An reminded, "Stop talking, lest you get distracted."
The two ran for a while, and the golden-haired monster rats were still chasing after them tirelessly. Although they could not catch up with them, they could not get rid of them either.
"Then what should we do now?" Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask.
"Weren't you okay when you entered the depths of Longyin Mountain before? Why do these dead rats still dare to chase you now?" Zu An asked curiously.
"I just forgot to take out the medicine when I was chatting with you. It's too late to take it out now. They have already seen our appearance, and the smell alone cannot scare them." Ji Xiaoxi replied, she actually didn't finish her sentence, she
There was a way to make these rats ignore her, but how could she bear to put Zu An in danger alone, so she still ran with him.
Zu An: "..."
He couldn't blame the other party. After all, who could have expected to encounter such a dangerous situation just outside the secret realm. Speaking of which, he didn't know if other passers-by would be as unlucky as them.
Hey, it's really not good to go all the way west.
Noticing Ji Xiaoxi's worried expression, he comforted her: "Don't worry, maybe they will stop chasing after they get tired after running for a while."
Speaking of which, there was no serious enmity between the two parties. They just beheaded one of the golden-haired monster rats without killing it. Unless this guy was the son of the Rat King, I really couldn't figure out why they would keep chasing me.
However, after running for an hour, Zu An's heart sank. The rats behind him had no intention of stopping, and he already felt a little disturbed.
"Azu, I...I can't run anymore." Ji Xiaoxi was even more exhausted.
"There is a valley ahead. With the barrier and space to dodge, we can slowly deal with these dead rats." Zu An's eyes suddenly lit up and he noticed a quiet valley in the distance.
You must know that there is no shelter at all in the plains. Faced with countless swarms of rats from all directions, no matter how powerful you are, they can swarm you and chew you to the bones in an instant. All you can do is run away.
But it's different in the valley. With all kinds of obstacles, you can slowly deal with the rats. After all, a single strange rat is not that strong.
The valley looked not far away, but it was really hard to see the mountains.
At first, Zu An grabbed Ji Xiaoxi's hand and led her away. Later, Ji Xiaoxi almost fell down several times and simply picked her up. Fortunately, she was petite and it took no effort to hold her in his arms.
Being held in his arms, Ji Xiaoxi's face suddenly turned red. She had never been in such close contact with a man on weekdays. She could only keep comforting herself. Brother Zu was just trying to save her, and he was different from other men...
Finally, Zu An finally ran into the valley, and a cold breath rushed towards him. You must know that he had been running for so long, and his whole body was extremely hot, but when he was forced by this breath, he even felt a little chilly.
"What's going on?" Zu An was stunned, but he didn't have time to think about the reason. He was looking around, looking for a place to hide.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoxi's surprised voice came to his ears: "Azu, look, those weird rats haven't followed."
Zu An turned around in confusion and noticed that the group of golden-haired strange rats stayed a few feet away from the outside of the canyon, patrolling back and forth at the entrance of the canyon, looking restless but not daring to move forward.
"Is there something terrible in the valley that they are afraid of?" A thought came to mind.
