20demayo Chapter 276: horrible
Chapter 276: horrible
Chapter 276 is terrible
It was getting dark when we first arrived at the village. After talking with the village chief for a while, it became even darker outside.
Mr. Jasper said that he would treat Rod and Mira well, but they refused and planned to go and see the situation first.
Lei Ning and Butch, who were responsible for standing guard at the entrance of the village today, had already lit the fires around the village.
If you look down from the sky, the small village is lit up with dots of lights, and there is a circle of firelight on the outside.
It's like the shelter method painted by Sun Dasheng.
And in the darkness at the edge of the firelight, pairs of small bright spots almost converged into a starry sky.
Lightning and Butch knew that each pair of bright spots represented a mouse, and there were hundreds of them just appearing at the edge of the fire.
The two swallowed their saliva and could only hope that they would still be afraid of the flames. If so many rats pounced on them, the two brothers might be doomed today.
That is, the wolves, strange birds, and two magicians around them can give them a sense of security.
"What an exaggerated amount." Mira covered her mouth.
She wasn't afraid of mice, but having so many mice together was disgusting.
"Let's test it out." Rhode gestured, and the sharp-beaked birds flapped their wings and flew up, shooting hundreds of feathered flying knives.
Zhizhizhi~~~
The screams of rats rang out, and the rats dispersed into the distance.
The sound of their own kind dying can still scare them.
It wasn't long before they slowly gathered back together.
The shadow wolves took a few steps forward at Rhodes's signal and let out intimidating growls.
The rats retreated slightly, but refused to disperse.
Mira's right hand turned into a demon arm, and a purple-black sphere appeared in her palm, which was thrown out by her.
The small ball as big as a fist fell into the group of rats and made an explosion, creating a deep pit with a diameter of more than one meter on the road.
The ground shook slightly, hundreds of rats were affected, and the rats dispersed.
Mira frowned, as if she was not satisfied.
Rhodes was ashamed. His girlfriend was also a master at breaking up houses, and she had casually ruined a good road like this.
Not long after, the rats gathered again, and the highest density was at the corpses of the recently dead rats.
Many mice gathered together, heads in and tails out, making crunching sounds.
Lei Ning and Butch turned pale: "They...are eating the corpses of the same kind!"
Cannibalism is a habit of some animals, while others are caused by extreme scarcity of food.
This is a very dangerous signal.
Because if this continues, the rats may overcome their fear of fire and rush into the village.
"It seems we can't drag it on any longer." Rhodes sent the wild monsters back to Summoner's Canyon, leaving only two river crabs patrolling the edge of the village.
"Summon, Blue Carved Golem, Crown of Insight."
Many people in the village heard that the magicians were coming and went nearby to check. Some people have also been voluntarily guarding the area with farm tools every day recently.
The sudden appearance of the tall demon statue caused a burst of exclamation.
The village chief quickly asked everyone to step back so as not to affect the magicians.
Rhodes first added battery life to himself, and then reminded: "The thing I am going to summon next may be a bit ugly, don't be afraid." After that, he looked at Mira again.
Mira smiled softly. She had seen the appearance of the void brood worm before, and it was indeed not good-looking.
But Rhodes never hated her, so how could she dislike Rhodes' magic.
Three strange purple insects as tall as one person appeared at the entrance of the village.
They have a single horn on their head, a mouth full of fangs, and the purple-red eggs on their backs, which make the villagers fearful at the first sight and they move back one after another.
Mira stretched out both hands and held Rhode's right hand in her palm: "If you keep them, can the magic power be sustained?"
Rhodes pointed at the blue light around him: "It should be fine for a few hours, but it will be a bit tiring."
While the two were talking, the eggs on the backs of the three void brood worms had burst, and 12 worms jumped out and circled around the brood worms.
Rhodes said to the three broodworms: "Tell them to line up outside the fence and attack any mice that come close... They are not allowed to bite the buildings in the village!"
This matter must be carefully warned. Rhodes doesn't want to have to pay for it after completing a task that is obviously successful.
After explaining these, you can basically rest. Rhodes only needs to be a ruthless power bank, responsible for maintaining the existence of the golem and brood worms.
As for those small worms, the nest worms themselves collect the magic power floating in the air to produce them.
As soon as 12 seconds passed, another 12 worms were born. They jumped outside the fence and lined up in a row to stare at the mice in the distance.
Village leader Jasper boldly stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Rhodes...this is what you said..."
"That's right, have you seen those little bugs? They can spawn 60 per minute, which is 3,600 per hour. I plan to officially start the war with the rats in two and a half hours. What do you think?"
"This..." Jasper calculated, there will be 9,000 in two and a half hours. Counting numbers against numbers, it seems feasible?
Moreover, those bugs are bigger than a human head when they are together, and can stand higher than the knees. They should be more powerful than mice, right?
Can the village be saved?
"Excuse me, after the rats are eliminated, what will happen to these bugs?"
"They will disappear." Rhode explained patiently, "They are essentially transformed from magic power through a special method, and they will eventually turn back into magic power."
Void worms are different from void brood worms. When a brood worm is killed, it will return to Summoner's Rift to wait for refresh. When a worm dies, it dissipates.
"That's good, that's good..." Jasper breathed a sigh of relief, "Then do you need any help from us?"
"Deploy some manpower to guard the village in all directions. If anything goes wrong, tell us immediately."
"Yes! I'll make arrangements right away!"
Jasper's enthusiasm was at an all-time high after he realized there was a hope for a solution to the rat plague.
He immediately organized people to stand guard and patrol around, and gave many instructions not to cause any trouble to the Master Magician.
After listening to the village chief's description, when the villagers looked at the three nest worms and batches of worms jumping out, their eyes no longer showed fear and disgust, but more like they were looking at some rare treasure.
Mira joined in: "Then what should I do, Mr. Rhodes?"
Rhodes thought for a while and said, "Miss Mira, would you like to be my personal bodyguard?"
"Yes~"
"Don't just say yes, come here quickly."
"..." So it turns out that being close to the body is the key? Mira hit him and stretched out her hand: "Bring the ingredients."
The various foods that the two of them bought together yesterday were, according to Rhodes's mind, just for backup, but Mira suggested buying something he wanted to eat and cooking it for him if he needed to have a picnic on the way.
In the current situation, although the village chief said he would entertain them, Mira bet that this person wanted to eat what she cooked more.
