Chapter 1204: Whimpering in the Wind (2)
That's why she wanted to see the rat first.
She only said a short sentence to Ember, and Ember understood what she meant and nodded.
The two of them followed the path they had come, like two well-hidden ghosts, towards the place where the rat had been killed. The journey was fairly smooth, I didn't encounter any living creatures, and I touched the place. However, the half-human-tall mouse carcass was gone, and the ground was a mess, littered with rat hair and some scarred ringworm spots on its body, and its flesh and blood were all gone.
Even its bones were left with a clean skull, and the parts below the skull, including the vertebrae, were almost completely gone.
There were only a few bones on the ground that were too hard.
"I think I was eaten by something. Ye Ying glanced at it twice and came to a conclusion, "I gnawed it cleanly, and I didn't even let go of the bones." ”
Ember looked around, "There must have been several different creatures coming, and there were signs of a fight on the ground. ”
The two of them glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little solemn.
In other words, there are not only living creatures in this place, but there are many living creatures, and they are very fierce - and most importantly, they are hungry.
So hungry that even such a filthy rat gnawed clean.
Ember leaned down and broke the mouse's skull with his claws, but he couldn't move.
It stands to reason that Starka is a thicker race than the Stygian Fire Beast, and in terms of strength alone, there is no race that is an opponent of Starka. But now that Ember has lost his magic and spiritual power, he only has the strength of an ordinary beast, and he can't do anything about such a skull.
He didn't try anymore, picked up half of the mouse leg bone from the ground that was still intact and had a sharp tail, and handed it to Ye Ying: "Take it." ”
Ye Ying nodded, and put the half of the rat's leg bone into his sleeve like a dagger.
She whispered to Ember, "It's not a good place to stay long, let's go." ”
Ember took her and walked into the distance.
They walked more carefully this time, barely making a sound, who knows what is hidden in this mine?
In the wind, there was a whimpering sound.
Ye Ying pulled the ember: "Listen, what is this?" Her voice was extremely low.
Ember listened too, and the whimpering sound seemed to come from all directions, far away, and very close.
He couldn't hear what it was for a while, so he only lowered his voice and said to Ye Ying: "There is a smell in the wind, a bit like the smell of the dead mouse." "The nose of the beast is very smart, although the strength of the ember is greatly reduced now, some of the instincts of the beast are still there.
"It's all mice?" Ye Yingzhen was shocked.
"Not really. Ember carefully discerned, "It's hard to say, be careful." ”
Ye Ying nodded and clenched the mouse leg bone in his hand.
The two were talking, and suddenly something appeared in the night sky.
"Look!" Ye Ying raised his hand and pointed at the thing.
It seemed to be a flying ship, like the floating boat she had seen in some Zhiwei picture books on the Futu Continent, with a few lanterns lit on the floating boat, and the huge hull of the boat obscured the sky and the sun, and even the starlight was completely obscured when flying over their heads.
Huge roar.
"Floatboats. Ember said too. It's something he remembers renting first.
The float flew proudly over their heads, and flew some distance, only to hear a loud "boom——! and something falling from the hull.
