Chapter 372

"Gu..."

A shadow passed through the night sky.

Luo Qingzhou looked up and saw a big bird like an owl.

Crossing the swamp.

There was a pile of rocks in front of him, a pile of rocks.

Luo Qingzhou had just jumped onto a boulder and was about to look around when he suddenly heard a "squeak" coming from below.

He looked down and his scalp went numb!

Under the boulder, there were densely packed scarlet eyes, which almost occupied the entire valley below.

Looking closely, they turned out to be giant rats with exposed fangs, as big as jackals!

Those giant rats stood on their hind legs, squatted on the ground, their claws tucked in front of their chests, bared their fangs, and looked at the bottom of the boulder with ferocious faces. There were at least hundreds of them!

Luo Qingzhou looked carefully again and found that there was a cave under the boulder.

The grass and trees in front of the cave were bare, the ground was charred, and there were many corpses of giant rats piled up, which seemed to have been burned by fire.

The dozen giant rats surrounding the entrance of the cave were obviously larger than the other giant rats.

At the same time, the claws that were huddled in front of the moon chest grew like scimitars, flashing a cold light in the moonlight, looking extremely terrifying.

"Squeak..."

It seemed that a giant rat had discovered him.

When the other giant rats heard the cry, they also raised their heads and looked at him, with greed flashing in their scarlet eyes.

Then, a group of giant rats suddenly climbed up to the huge rock.

Luo Qingzhou immediately took out a bucket of lamp oil from his storage ring and poured it down along the surrounding rock walls.

The pale yellow lamp oil flowed quickly along the rock wall.

Although the giant rats had sharp claws, they were huge and not good at climbing. Just as they climbed to the place where the lamp oil flowed, they suddenly slipped and fell down.

A large piece of the ground soon fell.

There were other giant rats who were unwilling to give up and continued to climb up.

But soon they all rolled down.

A few climbed up.

However, before they could climb to the top, Luo Qingzhou had hit them one by one with a stick, and knocked them out like playing golf.

When their bodies fell to the ground, they were already bloody and rotten into a pool of meat paste.

"Squeak..."

The giant rats were immediately angry and bared their teeth and screamed provocatively below, as if asking him to go down and fight.

Luo Qingzhou put away his stick and threw a large bucket of lamp oil directly down, landing next to the dozen largest giant rats at the entrance of the cave.

The wooden barrel suddenly broke, and the lamp oil spilled out.

Since he was besieged by poisonous snakes last time, he has prepared a lot of lime, flour, lamp oil and other items in his storage ring.

It just came in handy at this time.

The barrel of lamp oil thrown down was squeezed from beans, and the aroma drifted out as soon as the wooden barrel broke.

As soon as the giant rats smelled the smell, they immediately drooled and rushed up to lick it, making strange "squeaks".

Soon, the ground in front of the cave was densely packed with giant rats.

Luo Qingzhou immediately threw another large barrel of animal oil down.

The wooden barrel broke, and the solidified grease was exposed.

The giant rats began to scramble for food even more frantically, and the fur and bodies of each giant rat were immediately covered with grease.

Seeing this situation, the giant rats in the distance also rushed over.

Luo Qingzhou threw the last three barrels of soybean oil in three directions not far away.

Almost all the giant rats began to scramble for food.

The dense giant rats immediately divided into four waves, licking the ground and their companions with "squeaks".

Many giant rats began to fight.

The few people who were trapped in the cave below by this group of giant rats and had already been desperate, saw the scene outside the cave, and all had hope again.

However, there were too many giant rats outside, so they still didn't dare to go out.

On the boulder, Luo Qingzhou saw that the time was almost up, so he immediately took out the fire starter, uncapped it, and shook it in the wind, and it burned with a "whoosh".

"Swish!"

He didn't aim at a certain place, but threw the fire starter down casually.

At this time, almost all the giant rats were covered with grease.

As soon as the fire starter with flames fell, it suddenly burst into flames with a "whoosh".

The flames immediately rose from the ground and the bodies of the giant rats, and then spread rapidly to the surroundings!

The giant rats with flames on their bodies were immediately horrified, screaming and running around.

So, the flames spread everywhere.

In a short while, almost the entire valley was running with flames.

All the giant rats were on fire, and the screams of "squeaking" suddenly rang throughout the valley!

The few people trapped in the cave were stunned when they saw this scene.

"Squeak..."

"Squeak..."

Hundreds of giant rats screamed in fear and fled everywhere.

Some rolled on the ground in unbearable pain; some jumped on the spot with screams and opened their mouths wide to scream...

After a while, the screams gradually stopped.

Except for a few who extinguished the flames and escaped in a hurry, the rest were almost all burned to death.

The whole valley was filled with the smell of burnt meat.

The few people hiding in the cave were also terrified when they saw this scene. They wanted to go out, but they were afraid that they would also be infected by the flames. They had to continue hiding in the cave, looking at it with pale faces, and secretly wondering in their hearts who could come up with such a terrible method.

Luo Qingzhou was afraid that the temperature in the stone cave below was too high, so he poured three buckets of water in a row to cool it down.

Just when he was about to shout to make sure there was Brother Qin inside, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the swamp not far behind him.

He immediately jumped to another rock on the right, then jumped a few times and landed on a big tree in the distance. He jumped directly to the crown of the tree, hid among the dense branches and leaves, and looked towards the swamp. .

After a while.

Two figures ran out of the swamp. They seemed to smell the smell or see the flames, and immediately jumped to the boulder he was standing on just now.

Looking at the corpses of giant rats on the ground in the col below, as well as the remaining giant rats that were still struggling, the two of them stood there stunned.

One of the tall figures, holding a leather whip, with slender legs and a graceful figure, turned out to be Princess Nangong.

After Luo Qingzhou saw clearly that it was her, he hid in the tree crown and did not dare to go out.

At this time, several people hiding in the cave below carefully walked out of the cave. After seeing that there was no danger around them, they immediately looked up.

When he saw the two figures standing on the boulder, one of the young men was immediately surprised and said: "Beauty! It's you!"

When Luo Qingzhou heard this voice, he felt relieved.

It was the voice of Brother Qin.

"Beauty, what a trick!"

Qin Wenzheng's voice also sounded.

Only then did Nangong Meijiao notice the person standing below. She looked down and was stunned, with a look of confusion on her face.

The woman next to her whispered: "Miss, they seemed to have been trapped in the cave below by a group of giant rats. Then someone killed the giant rats with fire and saved them. That person should have just left not long ago."

Then he said with a strange and confused look on his face: "Miss, have you been chasing that person just now? He not only helped us kill those people who had evil intentions towards you, but also helped us save the Qin family and his son, and he was also good at fighting. He likes to spread lime, is he a friend of the lady?"

Nangong Meijiao was slightly startled when she heard this, a complicated light appeared in her eyes, and she murmured: "Friend?"

"Beautiful pride!"

Qin Chuan led a few people and climbed up from the rock wall of the col. He said with gratitude: "We have been trapped here by these demon rats since the evening. We have tried every means, but we still can't scare them away. I thought I was going to die here tonight, but luckily you came. Was that oil you just threw away? "

In Nangong Meijiao's mind, scenes of being trapped in a cave when she encountered a group of poisonous snakes in the black wood forest of Mocheng suddenly appeared.

Back then, he also threw a barrel of oil out and it burned into a wall of fire, preventing those poisonous snakes from entering their holes...

"Second brother, we didn't set the fire just now. We just arrived."

Nangong Meijiao looked at him and asked quickly: "Did the second brother see that person just now? Or heard him speak?"

Qin Chuan was stunned when he heard this, and said with surprise on his face: "Isn't it you? We just hid in the cave below and didn't see anything."

Qin Wenzheng and others also looked shocked and incredulous.

If not them, who could it be?

Who would waste so much effort to save them? And after saving them, he left quietly.

Qin Wenzheng frowned and said, "Meijiao, are you your friend?"

Nangong Meijiao was silent for a moment, clenched the whip in her hand, and turned to look at the darkness around her. Unfortunately, she did not see that figure.

"Probably so."

She said calmly.

Several people looked at each other and said nothing more.

Qin Wenzheng said: "We collected a few strains of Nine-leaf Grass. I asked people that this medicinal material cannot be left for a long time. It will have no effect if left for a long time, and it cannot be moved back for planting. Let's go back first and come back next time. I guess your aunt and the others are too worried to sleep at home."

Nangong Meijiao raised her head and looked around again, and then nodded.

Luo Qingzhou had already taken a detour and left before them.

When he returned to the swamp, he found that the young man whose spine he had broken was still alive.

A huge crocodile suddenly crawled out of the mud next to him. It seemed to have heard his moans and was crawling towards him with its mouth wide open.

When the young man heard the noise, he turned around and his face turned pale with fear.

When Luo Qingzhou passed by, he hurriedly shouted: "Brother, save me! Save me! I still have gold coins at home, and I have a wife and mother. I'll give them all to you, give them all to you... By the way, brother , there was a girl asking about you just now, I didn’t say anything, she..."

"puff!"

Luo Qingzhou sprinkled a handful of lime into his mouth and left quickly.

"Bah, bah, bah! What a bastard! You little beast, you're going to die a good death! Ah - don't come here!"

The young man cursed a few words and suddenly screamed in terror.

Not long after.

Qin Wenzheng and his party entered the swamp.

The young man and the giant crocodile had disappeared.

There was only a pool of blood and some lime powder.

Nangong Meijiao glanced at it in a daze, and when she was about to pass by, she was suddenly stunned. She immediately walked nearby and squatted down, looking at the lime powder on the ground.

It obviously didn’t exist before!

"Aunt Mu, let's go first!"

The bright light returned to her eyes, and she immediately stood up, swept out with a "whoosh", and ran out of the swamp as fast as she could.

"Bitch, don't run away if you can!"

She gritted her teeth, bounced her slender legs on the ground, and jumped out as lightly as a spiritual deer.

Qin Wenzheng and others looked at each other in confusion as they watched the two people leaving in a hurry.

Luo Qingzhou heard the footsteps behind him and immediately increased his speed.
