Squeak~ A huge mouse slowly poked its head out of the ventilation duct. The head looked about the same size as that of an adult husky. Saliva kept dripping from its slightly open mouth, and its sharp teeth flashed a metallic light.
When Xu Feng saw the mutant rat that had half of its body sticking out and was about to pounce, the first thing that came to his mind was the life-support capsule with a big hole in it.
"Be careful!" Xu Feng took a step back and took out two soul fire talismans. He did not throw them at once, but just pulled Shui Sheng and slowly retreated.
"I'll do it!" Shui Sheng took out a wooden sword from somewhere and stepped forward to kill the mutant rat.
"Lure it down, don't let it escape!" Xu Feng whispered.
When Shui Sheng heard what Xu Feng said, she immediately understood. The ventilation duct was obviously the mutant rat's home turf, and the two had to go through it to leave. Once the mutant rat escaped, when the two of them got into the ventilation duct, the mutant rat could launch a sneak attack in the duct at any time, and it would definitely be much more difficult to deal with it at that time.
Shui Sheng obediently backed away slowly. Seeing the two people retreating, the mutant rat thought that the two people wanted to escape. How could a rat that had eaten human flesh bear the risk of running away with the delicious food in its mouth?
The mutant rat leaped up and pounced towards Xu Feng with its mouth wide open. In its beast perception, Xu Feng was naturally much stronger than Shui Sheng, so he was the mutant rat's primary target of attack.
"Death to the monster!"
Before Xu Feng could make a move, Shui Sheng, who was standing beside him, couldn't wait to step forward and wield the wooden sword, slashing hard at the mutant rat's neck!
Crack~ As Shui Sheng swung the sword, several electric flashes jumped on the sword, and this sword actually caused lightning damage.
The mutant rat's target was Xu Feng. Shui Sheng's sword chopped at the mutant rat without any hindrance. Although it was just a wooden sword, its power was no less than that of a metal sword when it chopped at the mutant rat. Moreover, it had the added damage of lightning. The sword left a charred scar on the mutant rat so deep that the bone could be seen.
The mutant mouse screamed loudly in pain. The sharp scream made Shui Sheng feel as if a steel needle had pierced its ear. Her subsequent moves suddenly slowed down and she subconsciously covered her ears.
The mutant rat was hit by Shui Sheng's sword when it leaped. The severe pain made its movements deformed, and the force of the chop caused the mutant rat to crash into the metal workbench next to it.
With a "bang", a large part of the metal workbench sank. The mutant rat let out another painful scream, turned over and climbed up from the ground, looking at Shui Sheng with fierce eyes.
"Is this monster quite strong?" Shui Sheng was not afraid at all, just a little surprise in her eyes.
Shui Sheng knew her own strength. Her Lightning Slash could cause more than 200 points of damage in total, including the lightning damage. An ordinary level one peak monster could be seriously injured or even killed instantly!
But the mutant rat in front of him looked like it had only suffered minor injuries. Not only did it not lose its combat capability, but it was still able to move freely, and did not seem to be affected at all.
Just as the mutant rat transferred its hatred to Shui Sheng, Xu Feng threw out the two soul fire talismans in his hand at the first opportunity.
Boom~ The Soul Fire Talisman exploded on the mutant rat. The explosions sounded almost simultaneously. The mutant rat let out a painful scream and was blown two meters away.
The two Soul Fire Talismans can cause a maximum of 240 points of damage and trigger a 2-second mental tremor effect. The mutant rat fell to the ground and twitched all over, without even the strength to get up.
Xu Feng took out two soul fire talismans and threw them at the mutant rat.
Xu Feng looked at the corpse of the mutant mouse and a surprised smile appeared on his face. After the Soul Fire Talisman was upgraded to level 4, it not only caused high damage but also triggered a 2-second mental tremor effect.
Two seconds was enough time for Xu Feng to throw out two more Soul Fire Talismans. In other words, as long as the target was hit by the Soul Fire Talisman, Xu Feng could use the mental tremor effect to use the Soul Fire Talisman to beat the target to death without any chance of fighting back.
The Soul Fire Talisman has always been Xu Feng's main attack talisman in battle, but since he mastered the Lightning Strike Talisman, the Soul Fire Talisman's main attack talisman status has been shaken. The Lightning Strike Talisman has become the main attack talisman because of its high damage, evil-breaking effect, and the chance of triggering a paralysis effect.
But now, the Soul Fire Talisman has regained its position as the main attack talisman and has become important again.
"The health points of this mutant mouse are at least 500 points!" said Xu Feng.
"This monster should be just an ordinary monster in this secret world, not an elite one..." Shui Sheng sighed and said, "It's difficult. It's very difficult to advance to the secret realm this time. I can't be so unlucky that I'll run into a meat grinder, right?"
When encountering a special secret realm for promotion with an extremely high mortality rate, the apostles are accustomed to referring to it as a "flesh grinder". This kind of secret realm makes the apostles turn pale. Even Shui Sheng has a deep fear of such a secret realm for promotion.
"I have completed one of the main missions 2, how about you?" Xu Feng suddenly said.
"Me too!" Shui Sheng showed a look of surprise on her face. She didn't expect that there would be such benefits in forming a temporary team of two. Originally, the two of them needed to hunt down one hundred mutant creatures to complete the main task 2, but now they only need to kill 50, which is equivalent to reducing the difficulty by half.
Xu Feng nodded and said, "Let's go, let's leave here first and find a safer place."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
After saying that, Xu Feng was the first to crawl into the ventilation duct, feel the direction of the air flow inside, and slowly crawl out.
The ventilation ducts are interconnected in all directions. Without a design drawing, it would be very difficult to crawl out of this spider-web-like ventilation duct.
After climbing for a distance, Xu Feng realized that it would be difficult to find the real exit by climbing blindly, so he stopped.
"What's wrong?" Shui Sheng, who had been following Xu Feng closely, asked subconsciously when she saw him stop.
"We don't have a map, so we can't just climb randomly like this!" Xu Feng whispered, "Wait for me to find a scout and confirm the route before we climb out."
After saying this, Xu Feng's mind moved, and a vertical eye suddenly opened between his eyebrows. The eyeball in the vertical eye was completely black, like a black pearl, emitting a faint light.
Giggle~ A baby's laughter suddenly sounded in the ventilation duct. Shui Sheng suddenly felt her whole body tense up and a look of fear appeared on her face.
A moment later, a translucent ghost baby appeared in front of Xu Feng, opened its arms, and staggered towards Xu Feng.
