Following the boulder was a huge black rat. It was twice the size of a normal rat. It fell to the ground with its four legs facing the sky, struggling non-stop.
"That's it?" Han Yunxi looked at it from afar, her face full of suspicion.
She imagined the poisonous beast to be ferocious and tall, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
"That's not the Gu Shu. The Gu Shu is imprisoned inside, it won't come out that easily," Gu explained.
Han Yunxi sighed in relief. She thought it was the poisonous beast that came out. She thought that since the poisonous beast was called the Gu Shu, it should be a huge rat.
Long Fei Ye and Tang Li's attention was focused on Jun Yi Xie and Duanmu Yao behind the Xuan gold door. They didn't pay attention to the huge rat. Snakes and rats were in the same nest. If there was a snake in the secret passage, there would definitely be rats. There was nothing strange about it.
Han Yunxi melted the Xuan gold without making a sound. The secret room was huge. Jun Yi Xie and Duanmu Yao were quite far away, so they didn't notice anything strange.
"If we don't kill it now, when will we?"
Tang Li was about to take out the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles to attack Jun Yi Xie when the man in white suddenly said in a low voice, "Such a huge rat, I'm afraid it grew up eating human flesh."
Once these words were said, everyone's expression changed greatly!
Rats that grew up eating human flesh? Wasn't this the ferocious flesh-eating rat that only existed in legends?
Based on their physique, these rats couldn't be compared to the word "beast" at all. However, their attack power was far beyond that of a ferocious beast.
They were similar to flesh-eating ants. They never moved alone, but moved in a large nest. A nest of flesh-eating rats would have hundreds of them, and a large nest could even have thousands of them.
In other words, as long as one flesh-eating rat appeared, it meant that there was a nest of flesh-eating rats nearby.
Who would have thought that the long-extinct flesh-eating rats would appear here!
Long Fei Ye and Tang Li hurriedly turned around to look. The appearance of the flesh-eating rats was enough for them to temporarily put Jun Yi Xie aside, because no one in the world had ever been able to escape from a group of flesh-eating rats!
The rats were twice the size of normal rats. Their eyes were red, and their fangs and claws were especially obvious. It was hard to imagine how terrifying it would be to be bitten by this group of rats.
In the silence, everyone stared at the flesh-eating rat in the distance. No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
After a long while, Gu said, "There's no human meat here. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"It can't be wrong. The Poison Sect has raised flesh-eating rats before, so Gu Shu probably summoned them here," the white-robed man said seriously.
"You know quite a lot!" Gu said meaningfully.
The poisonous beast had the ability to summon poisonous creatures from the sinkhole. Once the poisonous beast felt threatened, it would send out a signal to summon the nearest poisonous creatures.
Just like the Skypit Death Acupoint, this was a secret of the Poison Sect as well as the medical academy. He had eavesdropped on it, so how did the white-robed man know?
He didn't even know that the Poison Sect raised flesh-eating rats, so how did this fellow know?
Why did the Shadow Clan know so much about the Poison Sect?
Could it be that the Shadow Clan had some sort of relationship with the Poison Sect?
Gu's suspicions were just that, but there was no time to ask in such a dangerous situation. The white-robed man ignored Gu's suspicions and even gave up on probing Han Yunxi. In a low voice, he said, "Miss Yunxi, how much longer will it take for you to melt the Xuan gold wall?"
As long as the Xuan gold wall wasn't melted, they had no way out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, there was a sudden rustling sound from the top, and then a large group of rats fell from the hole one after another, densely pouring down like a flood. This scene was simply disgusting!
"Ahhhh!"
Mu Ling 'er was so scared that she curled up in a ball. She retreated to the back of the group, her shrieks loud enough to pierce through the roof of the cave.
Long Fei Ye was the first to rush to Han Yunxi's side. "Be careful."
The rats kept falling out of the hole, unlike the one from before. Now all of them flipped to their feet as soon as they hit the ground and ran towards them.
Still, they didn't attack immediately. Soon enough, hundreds of flesh-eating rats had all fallen to surround Han Yunxi's group in four or five layers, trapping them in front of the Xuan gold door.
Although there were fewer rats than the king cobras and they were not as venomous as the king cobras, they were much harder to deal with than the king cobras.
This swarm of flesh-eating rats was extremely crafty. They only knew how to pick a single target and move as one to kill!
Right now, pairs of scarlet eyes were staring covetously at Han Yunxi's group as they searched for their first target.
Tang Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva. "What should we do?"
Just ten flesh-eating rats were enough to devour a person within a minute. Once these hundreds of flesh-eating rats pounced on a person, they would be able to devour the person until only the bones were left. That was simply something that could be done in the blink of an eye. Regardless of whether the surrounding people were martial arts experts or poison experts, no matter what method they used, they would not be able to kill all the flesh-eating rats in time.
This was a competition of speed and quantity!
"Guess, who will they choose first?" Gu joked, but his smile was pale.
Being devoured until only bones were left, that would be enough to die. But this way of dying was too tragic.
"There's actually no difference."
The white robed man revealed a terrifying fact. Once the flesh-eating rats had devoured one person, they would quickly pounce on the next. Legend had it that in the history of the Great Qin Empire, a group of flesh-eating rats had annihilated an entire army.
"Then we can only run."
Before the flesh-eating rats attacked, run!
Long Fei Ye turned his head to look at Han Yunxi. Without his reminder, Han Yunxi had already taken out a large bottle of super strong aqua regia to speed up the melting of the Xuan gold wall.
If possible, Han Yunxi would be more willing to pour the super strong aqua regia on the flesh-eating rats. Unfortunately, she didn't have enough. And even if she had enough, facing such a large group, it would be impossible to kill them all at once.
If she didn't kill them all, it would instead cause the flesh-eating rats to counterattack. At that time, she would be the first to die.
In fact, Han Yunxi didn't only have super strong aqua regia that could kill the flesh-eating rats. There were many poisons that could do the same. But, the principle was the same. This group of beasts had the advantage in numbers and speed.
Han Yunxi took out all the super strong aqua regia from the detoxification system and used it. The Xuan gold door melted very quickly. The golden liquid continued to flow down, and more and more of it, the hole became bigger and bigger.
However, at the same time, the flesh-eating rats seemed to have chosen their targets. One by one, they were lying on the ground, ready to pounce at any time.
"Han Yunxi, you go in first." Long Fei Ye said in a low voice. He stood in front of Han Yunxi.
He said to let her go in first, but in fact, he wanted her to escape first.
"It's almost done. If we want to escape, let's escape together!"
Han Yunxi used all her strength to melt the Xuan gold door. She casually gave the last bottle of aqua regia to Mu Ling 'er, "Help, quickly!"
Mu Ling 'er was still trembling. But when she received the aqua regia, she suddenly calmed down. She looked deeply at Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi's attention was all on the Xuan gold door. At this time, the hole was almost big enough for one person to pass through.
Mu Ling 'er held the aqua regia tightly, as if hesitating. However, at this time, the rats on the ground all arched their backs!
"Not good!" The white clothed man exclaimed. The flesh-eating rats were about to attack.
Mu Ling 'er was so scared that her whole body trembled. Her hands went soft, and the super strong aqua regia fell to her feet. Seeing this, Han Yunxi suddenly pushed her away.
"Peng!" The super strong aqua regia fell to the ground. At the same time, Mu Ling 'er also fell to the ground.
At this time, the flesh-eating rats suddenly let out a sharp squeak!
In this situation, anyone could guess that Mu Ling 'er was their target!
"Mu Ling 'er!"
Han Yunxi exclaimed. She did not think much and pulled Mu Ling 'er.
"Han Yunxi, let go immediately!"
Long Fei Ye immediately ordered coldly. Han Yunxi was simply asking for death. The flesh-eating rats wanted to attack Mu Ling 'er. If Han Yunxi pulled her, the flesh-eating rats would treat her as a target and attack her together!
Han Yunxi really did not think much about the consequences. Her first reaction was to save her.
She subconsciously raised her head to look at Long Fei Ye but it was too late. In an instant, the flesh-eating rats rushed towards the two of them at lightning speed.
"Han Yunxi!"
"Poison lass!"
Long Fei Ye and Gu shouted in unison. At this time, they did not care whether they could save her or not. They also did not care whether they would suffer together with her. They both wanted to pull Han Yunxi away.
However, someone was faster than them. They only saw a white shadow sweep past. It was so fast that they could not react.
The white clothed man's eyes were full of determination. He pulled Han Yunxi to the side of the wall and pulled her hand across the wall!
This process was so fast that it was terrifying. Not to mention the others, even Han Yunxi herself was confused. She completely did not know what had happened. She only felt that her five fingers were scratched by something and it was extremely painful.
"Boom!"
With a loud sound, the Xuan Gold Door collapsed with a loud crash!
"Run!" The white clothed man shouted.
With the abilities of everyone present, escaping was still possible. Fortunately, everyone reacted quickly. Gu carried Mu Ling 'er while the white clothed man carried Han Yunxi. The group of people rushed through the door in unison.
At this time, a surprising scene occurred. The dense swarm of flesh-eating rats that were crazily rushing towards them suddenly stopped abruptly and stopped outside the Xuan Gold Door.
They let out an incomparably sharp squeaking sound. It was unknown whether it was out of unwillingness or fear. Unexpectedly, not a single one dared to take half a step forward.
Everyone who had escaped far away saw this and finally stopped. They all heaved a sigh of relief. That was simply a matter of life and death. It was too dangerous!
This was the secret room where the poisonous beast was kept. Since these flesh-eating rats were summoned by the poisonous beast, why didn't they dare to come in?
And what exactly happened just now? Why did the door collapse?
After taking a deep breath, everyone was suspicious.
Long Fei Ye asked Coldly, "Han Yunxi, where's the white clothed man?"
When he escaped, he immediately looked at Han Yunxi. However, he found that Han Yunxi was standing alone. The white clothed man was nowhere to be seen.
Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye in a daze. She slowly stretched out her five fingers. Her five fingers all had small wounds that were still bleeding.
Where's the white clothed man?
She also did not know. Everything just happened too suddenly. She really did not know how it happened. When she came back to her senses, she was already standing here.
The Xuan Gold Door collapsed, the flesh-eating rats stopped, and the white clothed man disappeared …
