"kindness."
Di Moyu nodded gently, changed her carrying position from horizontal to vertical, and said softly, "Do you want to walk by yourself?"
"kindness…"
Upon hearing this, Jun Feijue frowned, thought seriously for a long time, and finally put her little hands around Di Moyu's neck, "Hug."
"good."
Di Moyu was very pleased with Jun Feijue's choice, and a warm smile appeared in his eyes.
Is anyone home?
The group arrived at the manor gate and found it tightly closed, so they knocked and shouted.
"They're here."
Soon, a boy came over, but instead of opening the door, he peeked out from the small window in the door with a wary, fair face. "Who goes there? What brings you here?"
"Is your manor lord here?"
Ma Shixin stepped forward, took out a token, and said, "We are mercenaries sent by our lord to deal with the Bloodthirsty Corpses of Corpse Hu City. Our lord said that you will help prepare the scout rats to guide us."
"Great! You've finally arrived! Please come in!"
Upon hearing this, the young man immediately showed delight and quickly opened the door. "The master is not here, but he has already given instructions. I will bring it to you right away."
"Aren't you ready yet?"
After everyone entered the manor, Ma Shixin frowned somewhat displeased.
"We're all ready, but this little animal is currently being weaned and can't be separated from its mother. We'll bring it out once you arrive."
The young man remained calm and patiently explained, "The mother beast is a bit cruel, and we were afraid you wouldn't be able to control her, so we specially left behind the cubs."
The other mercenary members waited outside, while Ma Shixin, Jun Feijue, and the others followed out of curiosity.
Soon, everyone followed the boy to a clean enclosure, where many small cages were neatly arranged, each containing a small animal about seven or eight inches long.
"The 'squirrel' resembles a squirrel but has a gray back and white belly, with a membrane connecting its legs. It can fly on the wind, has a keen sense of smell, and is particularly fond of poisonous plants."
Upon seeing the small beast in the cage, Jun Feijue quickly explained its origin: "The entire city of Shihu is obsessed with poison, so it is indeed suitable for guiding the way. But how can we be sure that we are looking for the entrance to the city?"
“This young lady is truly intelligent. Our manor and Corpse City originally had a cooperative relationship. They would place the rarest poisonous herbs at the entrance of the cave, and we would then conduct training here. In this way, the rat detectors could successfully find the correct entrance.”
After finishing his sentence, the boy said dejectedly, "So, the other rat hunters can't find the entrance to Corpse-Hu City. We made a lot of money selling rat hunters, but unfortunately Corpse-Hu City is now destroyed. Our lord has been busy changing professions these days."
"Hmm, what's the situation in Corpse City?"
Ma Shixin didn't care about the manor lord; "Where did the Bloodthirsty Corpse run off to?"
"I heard they've already come down the mountain. The people who went to investigate yesterday said they're almost ten miles from the foot of the mountain."
The boy's tone clearly carried a hint of anxiety, "Luckily you came, otherwise we would probably have to move again. Those bloodthirsty corpses are not afraid of Xuan power, nor are they afraid of pain. We can't beat them in hand-to-hand combat. Going there would only be suicide."
"Understood. Quickly find the mouse and get it out. There's no time to lose, we'll set off immediately."
Upon hearing this, Ma Shixin's expression also turned serious.
"OK."
The boy nodded, opened one of the cages containing two mice, one large and one small, and reached out to grab the small mouse.
