The mice's cave was not as dirty as he had imagined, and it was not smelly. After all, they were level 15 beasts. They were not ordinary mice that stole food to eat. If a level 15 beast was released to the lower world, it would be able to destroy the world. He could easily kill an elite like Zhuo Dong Lai with a single bite.
Earth Escape was quite convenient. He did not need to dig through the soil to move underground. Du Feng hid in the soil and quietly followed the group of rats. The cave was more complicated than he had imagined. It was full of twists and turns, like a maze.
Du Feng followed and memorized. Otherwise, even if he had Earth Escape, he might not have been able to find his way back. The intelligence of the mice was higher than he had imagined.
They did not go to the center of the mountain. Instead, they stopped somewhere underground. It was a spacious place, and it was a gathering point. Hundreds of mice were waiting there, and there were other groups of mice coming from other tunnels. They were all carrying food.
What was going on? It seemed like they were holding a ceremony. Du Feng had an ominous premonition that he had gotten himself into trouble. He had only wanted to kill some mice and exchange their monster cores for contribution points. Why were there more and more rats gathering? Moreover, every team had brought offerings with them. This was clearly a form of sacrificial ritual.
It was common for humans to do rituals, but there were not many beasts doing it, unless they were intelligent. But this was the Sky Realm, and it was near Yu Xian Gate. There should not be any monsters. Could it be that one of the mice suddenly gained wisdom and became a spirit?
Thinking about this, Du Feng could not help but shrink into the soil. If there was a mouse that had become a spirit, its will would have become stronger, and it might have been able to discover him.
Fortunately, the mice did not seem to have discovered him. After gathering the offerings, they began to put them on a stone table. Although they did not have hands, they were very respectful when they placed the offerings. A group of mice used their heads to hold the offerings and gently put them on the table.
The body of a porcupine was placed on the table, and it withered like a flower. The skin and flesh began to dry, and the blood began to dry. Now Du Feng understood that the rats ate all the internal organs not because they were hungry, but because they wanted to clean up the corpses.
They seemed to think that the internal organs were dirty, so they had to be cleaned up, leaving only the flesh, the demon core, and the head. Only then would they be qualified offerings.
That stone platform was really strange. It sucked dry a Demon Beast's corpse, but not a single drop of blood flowed out. It only emitted a faint red light before disappearing. Then, the corpse of a poisonous snake was also placed on the table.
These mice were really going all out. Snakes were the natural enemies of mice, especially poisonous snakes. It was not a problem for them to kill a group of mice. However, in order to obtain good offerings, they actually killed the poisonous snake. Similarly, he removed all of his internal organs, leaving only his flesh and Yao Dan.
The group of rats that placed the venomous snake's corpse on the stage clearly carried a sense of arrogance, as if they looked down on the other group of rats that caught the porcupine.
Du Feng almost thought that there was something wrong with his eyes when he saw the rat's competitive spirit. In his impression, demonic beasts, especially those that lived in groups, should not be chaotic. If they encountered a small problem, they would riot. If they didn't rush at night with all their might, they would flee in all directions.
However, not only did this group of rats know how to work together to kill demonic beasts that were stronger than them, they also competed in terms of offerings. The group of rats that caught the porcupine clearly looked ashamed. Their expressions were rich, they did not lose to humans.
Du Feng felt that these rats were even smarter than some human warriors. If they were allowed to grow, not only would they be a hidden danger to the Yuxian School, they would also become a hidden danger to the entire Heaven Realm.
The group of rats dug a lot of holes underground. Not only did they dig through the mountain where the Yuxian School was located, the surrounding mountains and ground were probably dug through by them as well. Human warriors lived a leisurely life above, they did not even know that they were actually surrounded by a large group of rats.
When Du Feng thought of this, his scalp went numb. At this moment, Xiao Hei spoke: "Brother Du, don't be agitated, I will give them a big gift in a while."
It had been brewing a thunder ball, brewing it to the size of a watermelon, then compressing it to the size of a quail egg. Then, it continued brewing, and when it became bigger, it would compress it to the size of a quail egg. Du Feng thought that it was changing its size for fun, but now it seemed that was not the case.
Xiao Hei was continuously compressing the thunder elemental energy into a ball. Because it was too big, it was not flexible enough, so it was repeatedly compressed. This move could not be used normally, because it was too time-consuming to compress. But right now, it just happened to be hidden in the ground, and the other party did not notice.
Du Feng felt the purple thunder ball slightly, and could not help but twitch his mouth. When it was really thrown later, he had to hide further away. Xiao Hei was too crazy, was he not afraid of blowing up the mountain?
The sacrificial ceremony continued, and the offerings were placed on the altar one by one. At first, Du Feng was a little shocked, but then he became numb. This was because during this process, new groups of rats kept coming, and each group brought their own offerings.
Not to mention poisonous snakes, even level 15 wild wolves, leopards, and black bears were brought by them. It was unknown how much these rats had sacrificed to be able to kill a demonic beast that was so much stronger than them. But their pious attitude during the sacrifice was indeed moving.
"Ready!"
Xiao Hei reminded Du Feng that it was about to make its move.
"En!"
Du Feng also felt that it was time to make his move, because there were no more groups of rats coming, and the offerings were almost ready. If he waited for them to arrange all the offerings, who knew what would happen, so he might as well take this opportunity to blow them up.
Du Feng used the Earth Escape Technique to move backwards, and was already prepared to retreat.
"Swoosh!"
A small purple thunder ball shot out from Xiao Hei's mouth at an unbelievable speed. Just as it was shot out, it went back into the pocket dimension of the necklace. Du Feng did not have time to see the result, and used the Earth Escape Technique to escape. Then he heard a loud bang behind him, and the surroundings began to shake rapidly, as if there was an earthquake.
While running, he extended a strand of divine sense to observe the situation behind him. It was fine if he did not look, but when he did, he was shocked. Such a large group of rats was blown to pieces by the thunder ball. Because they were in a relatively narrow space, they could not escape in time, and the explosive energy could not be released. They were almost completely relying on their bodies to resist.
