The two fell to the ground defenseless, and were covered by the chasing rats, and the screams rang out, while the rest of the people sped up and fled.

This short gap won Cao De and the others precious time to escape, allowing them to escape back to most of the resting places.

Looking at the people who were drowsy under the firelight in front of them, Cao De and his entourage did not speak at all, but waited for a distance before shouting.

"There are man-eating rats, quickly defend on the spot, and the people in the back, slowly retreat!"

The sudden shouting woke up the entire cemetery, and the soldiers who went down to the tomb for the first time immediately drew their weapons and waited for the battle.

And those who go to the tomb all the year round are not so obedient, they know very well that this tomb is a man-eating monster, and they quietly step back a little, leaving a way for themselves to escape.

Rats, reptiles, have flexible bodies, although they are easy to die, they can't stand a large number of people, and if they kill a few mice, they will be devoured by the rats.

And Cao De didn't stop at all, he led a group of people to run wildly all the way, and he didn't dare to stay at all, because he already knew what the outcome would be.

"Ahh

"Help!"

……

Along the way, people kept dying, and there were constant screams, like the sound of drums that spurred everyone forward, making them flee regardless of their spare strength.

Running all the way, the strength was also extremely consumed, Cao De and the others were panting, and finally ran to the first or so stone room.

"Fast into the stone chamber!"

Cao De yelled, pushed open the stone door, and rushed in, and the group of people behind him also hurriedly followed.

Entering the stone room, Cao De sat down on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hurry up, close the stone door." ”

Hearing the order, the last person to enter quickly closed the door, stubbornly, for those who have not yet entered, can only silently apologize in their hearts.

At first, there were still people pushing the door, but as time passed, the stone gate quieted down, as if there was no one outside.

The rest of the people in the room sat down mindlessly, and the escape just now made them physically exhausted.

After resting for about ten minutes, Cao De said: "In here, sooner or later, there will be a dead end, what do you say is the way to escape." ”

In the face of this man-eating mouse, what can be done, unless there can be a lot of fire oil, but this is unrealistic, one person can carry, just a few things, and it has already been used.

There is fire oil, but if you want to burn these rats on a large scale, it is impossible, no one answered, Cao De said helplessly: "Look at the situation outside?" ”

Cao De's voice fell, and a person by the door slowly pushed it away with a trembling feeling, only to see a mouse outside, waiting.

The firelight exposed through the crack of the door made them all look at each other, and the person who pushed the door in fright was scattered, and quickly closed the stone door.

"General, general, those rats are guarding the outside."

"Tsk." If you don't leave for a few days, you will starve to death, and it seems that you have to find a way to leave.

Cao De thought for a moment, and gently tapped the underground stone slab a few times with his hand, with a helpless expression on his face.

It seems that if you want to make a hole and get out, there is no hope, so there are only two options, one is to wait for someone to support, and the other is to rush out desperately, but there is not much hope.

There is no way, so there is only to wait, pray that the opportunity will appear in that second, otherwise you can only wait until the end to fight desperately.

Cao De took out the dry food on his body, took a bite and said: "Let's recover our strength first and see if someone will come to the rescue, if not, we can only fight to the death." ”

Hearing this, everyone in the room began to silently take out dry food and eat, at this time, this is the only way to do.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone in the room didn't know how long it had been, and some people who had already prepared for the worst began to fall asleep without heart and lungs, and a faint snoring sound sounded.

And some people who don't want to die and are afraid of death are terrified, thinking about it uneasily, and their faces show despair.

Suddenly, a trace of smoke came into the room, and those with sensitive noses couldn't help but inhale and asked curiously: "What smell, it seems to be produced by the burning of fire oil." ”

"Yes, really."

"No, isn't that someone coming to save us?"

……

Hope appeared, no need for Cao De to speak, the person at the door had pushed open a trace of the stone door, a puff of smoke rushed straight into the room, and the fire outside was soaring, and the rats guarding the outside were also constantly retreating.

"General, someone has come to save us!"

Cao De had already noticed the abnormality, but he didn't speak, and at this time, the voice of joy sounded, and he slowly stood up and came to the door. "How's it going out there?"

Hearing Cao De's words, a familiar and slightly joyful voice sounded. "General, you're still alive, thank God, I didn't come to save you, quick, get rid of these beasts."

A few minutes later, Wang Pi came to the stone gate, bowed down and said, "General, it is not too late, and I hope to forgive your sins." ”

Cao De picked up Wang Pi and said: "You and I have been in the tomb for many years, this is normal, don't be like this, tell me quickly, how did you come here?" ”

Wang Pi originally led only twenty people to answer on it, but suddenly nearly 100 people escaped, and you said it word by word.

What was attacked by man-eating rats, all the people inside died, and said that some people were hiding in the stone chamber of the tomb, waiting for rescue.

Hearing the bad news, Wang Pi inquired carefully, and found an abnormality, it turned out that those rats passed by the corpse of the big snake and stopped, so these people could escape alive.

The rat swarm suddenly stopped, so it must be something to be afraid of, Wang Li thought about it for a while, and decided to go down to the tomb to find out if anyone was alive at will.

Just in case, Wang Pi asked people to prepare all the fire oil, went down the tomb road, and along the way, found where the rats really stopped, and did not dare to move forward half a step.

Wang Pi ordered the fire oil to be thrown, intending to defeat the rat colony and rescue the people who might survive in the stone room, and then, there was the scene just now.

Cao De listened to the whole thing, fell into deep thought and said: "It seems that the natural enemy of the rat should be the giant snake, that is to say, as long as there is the breath of the giant snake, they will not dare to attack." ”

Wang Li thought for a while and replied: "It's possible, what does the general mean is to continue to move forward?" ”

Cao De had the intention of retreating, and Wang Pi also knew that he thought that if he rescued him, he would definitely stop there, so he thought he would continue to move forward.

Cao De shook his head and said: "No, I had the intention of retreating early in the morning, but now that I have lost so many people, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't touch anything?" ”

Wang Li looked at Cao De and said, "But general, how do we deal with those rats, do we use fire oil, but there are not many of them, what should we do when we run out?" ”

Fire oil is a consumable, once it is used up, then what awaits them will definitely be slaughtered, Cao De can't have thought of this.
