Creak, creak, creak …
Its huge incisors were like two-sided saws, gnawing madly on the ventilation shaft. Sparks flew, and the frequency of gnawing was so fast that it was like two chainsaws were madly rubbing against each other.
This scene was like a Six-star Heart Origin weapon that was madly sawing. The ear-piercing sound made one's scalp go numb.
"Fresh meat! This is great, this is great … I haven't tasted human flesh in a long time, and it's even better! Come here, let me bite your head … "
The monster roared madly, and saliva flowed continuously from its mouth.
However, no matter how the monster gnawed, not a single mark was left on the ventilation shaft.
After examining it for a while, Hayashi River leaned against the wall, sat down, and said, "Stop biting. You won't be able to bite through this shaft. Save your strength."
He could already see that the shaft of the ventilation shaft was made of a very hard material. Even a Six-star weapon would find it difficult to damage it.
Creak, creak …
The monster continued to gnaw. Its huge incisors were already chipped, but it was still relentless.
"Huff, huff, huff …"
After a long while, the monster stopped and stared at Lin Chuan with its bloodshot eyes. It glared at him, and there was a crazed hunger in its gaze.
Hayashi River did not speak. He had been observing the monster. With the Moon Core and Mossy Bone probing and analyzing, he had a general idea of the monster's appearance.
Judging from the head on the ventilation shaft, it was at least more than ten meters long, and it was a level-seven monster.
"A level-seven Ferocious Beast that can speak human language is rare in this world!" Mossy Bone murmured.
Even in the Dark Age, there weren't many of these monsters. That's because, a long time ago, these vicious monsters were slaughtered by powerful races until they were almost extinct.
During the Dark Age, one could only occasionally find one or two of the remaining monsters.
A level-seven Ferocious Beast, like the flying wolf mount of the Lord Wolf of Limestone Ridge, was stronger than a level-seven expert.
If such a monster rushed into a cage, the situation would be unimaginable.
Even if Hayashi River had all sorts of trump cards, in such a cage and facing such a powerful monster, the odds were against him.
However, the premise was that the monster could rush in. Now, it seemed that there was no need to worry.
"Mister Monster, stop staring at me. You can't come in either. Let's talk about it … "
As Hayashi River spoke, he took out a bag of food. After opening it, a fragrant aroma wafted out, causing the monster's eyes to turn even redder.
"Food! Meat that contains such pure energy … "
The monster growled and stuck a foot-long fingernail into the vent. "Throw it to me! Human, throw it to me. With this bag of food, I can consider sparing your life and only eating your limbs. "
Damn it, do you still want to turn me into a human stick?!
Hayashi River cursed in his heart, but he smiled and threw the bag of food over.
The bag of food landed at the vent. The monster's sharp fingernail reached in, but the lines on the walls and floor of the cage suddenly moved. With a hum, a faint blue flame flashed and cut off the fingernail.
The monster quickly retracted its fingernail and roared angrily, crazily hitting the vent. "Human! Cunning human, you did it on purpose, you despicable bastard! Luring me into a trap like this? "
Hayashi River expressed his innocence. He did not expect that there would be such a device at the vent. When he checked just now, he did not find anything strange.
"This should be a special defense against this kind of monster. It seems that this monster has always lived here," Moon Core analyzed.
"Mister Monster, I didn't know about the defense measures here. It was not intentional. How about this … "
Hayashi River took out another bag of food. After tearing it open, he took out a piece and threw it over.
This was Blue Kitty's cat food. He always carried a lot of it with him. The pure energy contained in it was very high, and it was loved by the little guy in the past.
As for now, there were many people feeding this little guy. Generally, it did not need Hayashi River to feed it, but his habit of carrying cat food with him had not changed.
This piece of meat accurately passed through the vent and landed outside. Suddenly, a loud swallowing sound came.
Hayashi River even had an illusion that if he did not see this monster, he would have thought that the tap outside was not turned off.
However, this monster kept swallowing and did not move. The piece of meat was lying outside the vent.
Hayashi River was a little puzzled and asked, "Mister Monster, what's wrong? Is this food not to your taste? "
Bang!
In response to Hayashi River, a giant claw slammed hard on the vent. The monster roared, "You despicable human, are you trying to poison me with poisonous food? Do you think I will fall for it? Dream on, I am very smart! "
With a swoosh, the piece of meat was slapped back and landed on the ground in front of Hayashi River.
"Mister Monster. You are too paranoid and biased against us humans. This food is not poisonous, I swear. "Hayashi River looked at the piece of meat and sighed.
There was really no poison in it. However, there was definitely a problem. In this piece of meat, he sealed a spiritual energy thorn.
A very small, invisible spiritual energy thorn.
This kind of spiritual energy thorn did not cause any harm to such a monster. It would not even cause any harm to ordinary people.
However, if such a piece of meat was eaten ten or twenty times, the situation would be completely different.
With Hayashi River's current use of spiritual energy, he could control this kind of spiritual energy at will. He could change its shape in the monster's body at will and cause all kinds of unknown pain.
In terms of combat power, a level-seven monster was stronger than a powerhouse of the same level.
However, in some aspects, it was its fatal weakness. For example, its defense against this kind of spiritual energy.
This was Hayashi River's plan. Unfortunately, although it was not seen through, it did not work because the monster was wary of humans.
"Mister Monster, I am very sincere. I am very sincere. All you want is fresh meat. After I get out of here, I will be able to provide you with an endless supply of such meat. But the prerequisite is that we can have a good talk … "
After confirming that the monster could not come in, Hayashi River relaxed and slowly lured the monster.
Immediately, a piercing sneer came from the vent, as well as the sound of the monster swallowing saliva.
In the dim light, the monster's upper and lower lips were split open. As they moved, sharp teeth could be seen. It laughed mockingly and said, "Get out? Human, you still want to get out? Haven't I seen any prisoners who have entered this cage come out alive? "
"This cage has imprisoned no less than a hundred people for decades. Every one of them died. Some of them were chopped into pieces and thrown out of this cage to become food for my damned elders … "
"Those damned uncles and aunties always tell me how delicious the flesh and blood of those creatures are, but I have never tasted a single bite. It's because I was born late that I can only eat the coarse flesh and blood of the dark dwarves in the mine … "
At this point, the monster went crazy again. It used its head to hit the vent as if it wanted to completely destroy the cage.
At this moment, Mossy Bone sent some information about the Phantom Flame Mine. It was a rare mineral in the Northern Lands, and about a thousand years before the Continental War broke out, the mine had been completely mined out in the years of war.
The information recorded a monster that lived in the Phantom Flame Mine. The monster on the picture looked like a giant rat. It had huge front teeth, sharp claws, and a tail like a six-star drill that could quickly dig holes in the Phantom Flame Mine.
Flame Rat!?
That was the name given to this monster in the information.
In the ancient Northern Lands, when the Phantom Flame Mine was still being mined, the Flame Rats caused great harm to the creatures in the Northern Lands.
Such a terrifying monster had a high reproductive rate. At its peak, there were as many as a hundred thousand of them.
An adult Flame Rat had at least level-five strength.
A hundred thousand Flame Rats with combat power above level-five was a terrifying disaster that could topple the entire Northern Lands and even threaten the entire Sea-Ao Empire.
Fortunately, the Flame Rats had a fatal weakness. They needed to use the Phantom Flame Mine as their nest to breed.
Therefore, this rare ore was mined so quickly to prevent the Flame Rats from wreaking havoc.
Looking at the information, Hayashi River looked out of the vent again. The Flame Rat monster was still roaring crazily, emitting a violent murderous aura.
"The Flame Rat can speak the human language. Is it that intelligent?" Hayashi River muttered to himself.
After thinking for a while, Hayashi River smiled. "Mr. Monster, since you can't come in, and you're worried that my food is poisonous, and you're not willing to talk to me, then leave. I was caught by the supervisor here. I'm a little tired, and I want to rest. "
"You human, you're just food, and you want to rest?! Not a chance … "
Hearing that, the flame rat became even more enraged. It slammed its claw on the vent, causing the pillar to vibrate.
Then, its scarlet eyes spun about. It suddenly inhaled, and then exhaled fiercely. A foul stench was spat out, surging into the cage.
Hayashi River's face darkened immediately. Although the Heart Sensing Helmet had anti-poison functions, he could still smell the strange smell of the Flame Rat's breath.
Moreover, the monster's breath was very turbid, and some impurities could be seen with the naked eye. Just thinking about it made Hayashi River feel like he was falling into a poisonous cave.
Of course, he wasn't that obsessed with cleanliness, but this scene still gave Hayashi River goosebumps. It was more uncomfortable than soaking in a smelly ditch.
"This damned Flame Rat, and Takao …"
The veins on Hayashi River's forehead were throbbing. He was furious, and his murderous intent was surging. This was the first time he had encountered such a predicament.
Was the Flame Rat's weakness the fear of cold?
Lin Chuan thought about the information about the Flame Rat, so he put his hand into his machine master robe and grabbed a ball-shaped device in one of the pockets.
It was a sphere made of ice energy crystals!
It was equivalent to a Frost Bomb. This was a weapon that Hayashi River had created with extra materials when he was researching [Flesh Bomb].
He could use it here to test its power and see if it could blow up the cage …
At this moment, plans after plans flashed through Lin Chuan's mind. After exploding the cage, how would he deal with the [Flame Rat], and after returning to Shishan City, how would he settle this debt with Da Jiao.
At this moment —
A soft cry came from the vent. Lin Chuan and Flame Rat's hearing was extraordinary, so they heard it at the same time.
Hayashi River's heart skipped a beat. He was too familiar with this cry. Wasn't this the Blue Kitty?
"Oh no! Why did this little guy come here … "Hayashi River panicked.
However, in the next moment, the [Flame Rat] outside of the vent started to scream in pain as if it saw something extremely horrifying. It was so scared that it cried and flew away with a squeaky sound.
At the same time, the Blue Kitty screamed. That little guy seemed to be scared too.
Whoosh …
From the vent, a tiny figure scuttled in. It was Lan Xiaomiao. The little fellow's face was filled with terror. When she saw Lin Chuan, she immediately meowed and scuttled over, burrowing into her master's embrace.
"Meow, meow, meow …"
The Blue Kitty waved its two front paws and described the scene just now. It saw a huge rat that was hundreds of times bigger than it, and it was scared to death.
Listening to the little guy's cry, Hayashi River rubbed the Blue Kitty's back. Soon, the little guy stretched its body and calmed down. It stretched its small body and actually yawned.
"Meow … Master, you don't know how tiring I was to find you …"
The Blue Kitty began to take credit. It talked about how hard it had been to find Hayashi River. It said that it had gone through a lot of hardships.
Hayashi River did not believe even 10% of what the little guy said. There was a special connection between the man and the cat. In addition to Mossy Bone's notification, the little guy could find him. With its small body, it would not attract any attention at all.
The only thing that surprised and warmed Hayashi River was that the little guy had really found him. He did not spoil it in vain.
In his ears, the voices of the Moon Core and Mossy Bone kept ringing. The two artificial intelligence systems communicated from time to time, and the discussion became more and more excited.
"Machine Owner, I know the weakness of the Flame Rat!" The Moon Core cried.
"I know it too …" Mossy Bone followed.
After listening to the conclusion of the two artificial intelligence systems, Hayashi River looked at the Blue Kitty. After the little guy finished taking credit, he asked, "So, you met the giant rat monster?"
The Blue Kitty nodded vigorously. Its small paws covered its face, revealing a look of horror. Such a huge rat was ridiculously huge.
In its opinion, it was fortunate that it was a mini cat. It did not easily attract attention, and it was not even enough to fill the gap between the giant rat's teeth. That was why the other party let it go.
Otherwise, if it was swallowed by the giant rat, it would probably become a rare case of being eaten by a rat in the cat world. It would be nailed to the pillar of shame.
"Master, was it you who chased that big thing away …"
The Blue Kitty raised its head and looked up at its master. At this moment, it felt that its master had never been as tall and glorious as he was today.
Hayashi River curled his lips. This little guy had been a mini cat for too long. It had forgotten that its nature was actually a mysterious and powerful beast.
This little guy had never thought that the Flame Rat was scared away by it. Before that, the giant rat was going to suffocate its master to death with its breath.
"Meow …"
After listening to Hayashi River's explanation, the Blue Kitty stared with its glass-like eyes. Its face was full of disbelief. It scared away the giant rat? That was impossible.
"You don't believe me? It's easy to verify it. "Hayashi River smiled.
The Blue Kitty suddenly had an extremely bad feeling. Its master had not shown such a smile to it for a long time. Back in the White Arrow Harbor, in the White Dwarf Kingdom, Hayashi River often showed such a smile.
Every time, it was required to do dangerous things. This time, did it have to face such a giant rat alone?
No, I won't go …
The Blue Kitty's little head shook like a rattle drum. Its little claws tightly grabbed onto Hayashi River's robe. It would not go even if it died. This method of verification of death was better than that.
Hayashi River's smile became even brighter. He said softly, "Who said you can go? You can order that guy to come here directly."
The little guy was stunned. Its eyes widened, and its face was full of doubt. How to order it? It didn't know, and it didn't want to learn.
The voice of the [Moon Core] sounded, "According to my and His Excellency Mossy Bone's judgment, Mr. Little Meow's rank is above that Flame Rat. Although, Mr. Meow Meow, you are still young, but, among monsters, the suppression of ranks is more complete than the suppression of martial artists' realms. "
As a part of the core of the [Earth King Equipment], although the [Moon Core]'s database was mostly missing, its understanding of the beasts was as if it was instinctive. It was very detailed.
The [Moon Core] knew how to release the aura of a high-ranked beast and how to order a low-ranked beast.
After quickly explaining the method of releasing aura, the [Moon Core] let the Blue Kitty try.
"Meow …"
Lan Xiaomiao stood up and tried her best to encourage herself. After a long while, she laid on Lin Chuan's lap weakly and shook her head repeatedly. She could not do it. She could not learn how to release her aura at all.
Hayashi River squinted his eyes. He stretched out his finger and poked the little guy to the ground. This little guy only knew how to play dumb.
"Be serious. Show me a little of your true form! "Lin Chuan ordered with a stern expression.
Looking at its master's forehead, the scary pattern appeared again. The Blue Kitty was suddenly discouraged and could only do as its master said.
Hu …
The little guy let out a breath. Its head and the front half of its body suddenly expanded, becoming the size of a small dog.
Although the Blue Kitty didn't practice changing its form, it had mastered it a long time ago.
Its two front paws touched its enlarged head. The Blue Kitty lowered its face and tried to release its aura according to the [Moon Core]'s instructions.
The next moment, the eyeball pattern appeared on Hayashi River's forehead. He clearly saw a wisp of aura coming out of the little guy's body and going out of the vent.
A moment later, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard. The flame rat's huge head rushed over and hit the vent's pillar.
"Master, don't release your aura. Quickly take it back. Do you have any orders for me to come over?" The flame rat's voice trembled.
It really worked?!
Hayashi River and the Blue Kitty were both stunned. Then, the man and the cat were overjoyed. It was such a pleasant surprise to be able to suppress a level-seven beast so easily.
The Blue Kitty raised its head, and its expression suddenly trembled. It was extremely proud. It suddenly felt that being a high-level mysterious beast in the form of a cat was not something that was so difficult to accept.
After all, such a terrifying monster bowing down to a kitten like Zhang Zian. That should be an unprecedented record in the world of cats, right?
Seeing that the Blue Kitty was beginning to let its imagination run wild, Hayashi River pinched the little guy, indicating that it should give it a hard blow.
Receiving its master's hint, the Blue Kitty understood. Its small head and the front half of its body grew bigger again, filling up more than half of the cage in an instant.
"This is … I … Squeak, squeak, squeak …"
The flame rat was stunned. After the little blue cat transformed, its head alone was almost bigger than the flame rat's entire body.
Not only that, the aura released by the huge blue cat was extremely terrifying to the flame rat. It was as if the whole world was pressing down on it, and it fell to the ground. Its body quivered, and a water arrow shot out of its lower body. It was so scared that it peed on the spot, and a stench filled the air.
"Roar …"
The Blue Kitty's sense of smell was so sharp that it immediately smelled it. After becoming bigger, its temper became a little irritable, and it immediately slapped its paw on the vent.
Squeak, squeak, squeak …
The flame rat was so scared that it spat and squeaked on the ground, unable to move at all.
This scene stunned Hayashi River. This was a level-seven monster! The Blue Kitty only revealed its true form, and the flame rat even had some difficulty moving.
"This is normal … Between high-level beasts, the suppression of levels is too obvious. This Mr. Meow's tribe, I'm afraid …"
[Moon Core] muttered, and there was a buzzing sound of electricity. Its database was too damaged, and it could not obtain further information.
Hayashi River walked over, tore open a bag of food, and threw pieces of meat out of the vent. He smiled and said, "Mr. Monster, I didn't lie to you just now. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't need to rely on poison at all. Come, eat something to calm down. Let's talk later … "
Gurgle …
Being suppressed by the terrifying aura of the Blue Kitty, the flame rat was frightened, and it suddenly became hungry. Its stomach kept growling, and when it smelled the delicious smell of meat, its mind went blank. It subconsciously opened its mouth, stuck out its tongue, and swallowed a few pieces of meat.
For a moment, the smell of meat filled its mouth, and the flame rat burst into tears. The taste was too delicious. Even if it was poison, it had to eat it all. Anyway, its resistance to poison was very high …
