Chapter 22:plague mouse and crazy dog part 1
Picking up the half-burned fragrant wood, I keep on going. Soon I hear avoice sounds like squeak. My hair immediately p.r.i.c.kled with fear, I am sofamiliar with this voice and I know that it is the most tenacious enemy humansever met: the mouse! Though there have been several large "mice-control actions"in those years, this creatures were never completely extinct.
The breeding ability of mouse is knownaround the world, I can bet there are uncountable mice here even though I cansee nothing in the dark. Jesus, just thinking of it is unbearable.
After a few more steps, I am able to seehundreds of thousands of little green pieces of lights on the ground clearly,which makes me feet weak. And the squealing of mice also let my head blow up.
Now I truly admire Tiger King"s team forbreaking through so many enemies. On this condition, I have no reasons to stophere. I calm down my mind and take out some materials from my bag.
Firstly I select some pieces of Bright MongSkins. This time I wear them inside the equipment to avoid being bit by themice. Though these mice are only level 1 and have very low attack, I am prettythey bring Yesinia pasties because of the Devil G.o.d of Disease. The Plaguekilled hundreds of millions of people in the history, because it spread throughthe mice"s saliva and flea living on their body. So I have to use Bright MongSkins to protect my face and hands.
Then I move away the heads of a few spearsand tie them on my hands and feet. I picked up those before I left the templeof the Devil G.o.d of Taming Monsters. Actually, I picked up lots of things atthat time to pay the debt.
After that I begin to roast meat with magicflame. The crowd of mice is attracted by the smell, I throw the meat to twosides of the mice and then step into the crowd with help of those spearscarefully: I treat them as walking sticks.
This is a hard work. I have never walked insuch a way, only saw it on TV and books. I have to be very careful and crawllike a animal slowly, or the stick may click on a mouse and make me slip.
Glimpsing around, I am shocked that the meathas already gone. It is both because the rules of the game is let them toattack players and they smell my fresh meat, all mice are coming to me now.
The mice begin to bite my sticks, it soundsannoying. In spite of unlimited dying experience in the game world, I still can"taccept dying because of mice biting. I make a decision that I will suicideimmediately if I fall into the mice crowd.
The mice gather together. Those coming laterstep on the ones before them to get closer to me. At last I use Fireball tokill a lot of mice and handle this eventually. However, now the lack of ManaPotion requires me not to use magic unless the condition is very urgent.
I don"t know how long it takes me to walkaway from the mice, but the sticks have been bit so deep that there are cleartraces on them. The teeth of mice seem good as well…anyway I don"t dare to beback again.
I continue the tour. Suddenly I saw two menlie in the corner of the cave, so I move close to them slowly and hear two lowgroans.
I am surprised. Quickly step forward, I recognizethat they are two Aimans, whose properties read "Herds of Aima Tribe". We usuallycalled them He and Jack since they actually are low-level NPC without names.
He looks at me, suddenly waves his bow topush me back. "Don"t get close to us, we…we are sick." He says in a huskyvoice.
I am in a daze as well as deep sorrow. "Howdid you get sick? Lunar Dance couldn"t heal you either?"
One of them speaks painfully: "Yes, allefforts are useless. At first they didn"t want to leave us behind, but we knewthis disease would infect them, so we threatened them away with our life…"
From his off and on description, I am awareof their experience.
When Tiger King and the old patriarch andother teammates came to here, they were out of methods as well. Finally theykilled the king of mice found by Tiger King"s Night Eye with thepatriarch"s sorcery and five archersattacking at the same time. The mice were in a mess at once. During this time,the patriarch made a soil bridge by Soil Wall and they quickly went through.
