Chapter 563: Corpse-eating Rat
Chen Qingqing was also busy, always looking for the best shooting angle.
She kept shooting crossbow arrows at the scorpion as she moved, but most of them were bounced off the scorpion's hard shell.
Only a few left shallow marks on the scorpion's shell.
The poisonous scorpion became more and more crazy after being attacked by Chen Qingqing. He no longer paid attention to Chu Jiuqing and the others, and waved his poisonous needle to stab Chen Qingqing fiercely.
Chen Qingqing did not dare to be careless. She dodged left and right, cleverly avoiding the scorpion's fatal attacks again and again.
"Xiaoyu, I'll attract it, and you guys find a chance to attack its eyes." After Chen Qingqing finished speaking, she raised her crossbow and shot at the poisonous scorpion.
The poisonous scorpion was completely enraged and chased after Chen Qingqing, waving its poisonous needle.
Chu Jiuqing seized this excellent opportunity, raised his sword and flew towards the poisonous scorpion.
This time, he was extremely fast.
Poison Scorpion sensed the movement behind her and was about to turn around when Chu Jiuqing's sword was already in front of her.
Seeing the right moment, Chu Jiuqing used all his strength to stab the sword into the scorpion's left eye.
The scorpion let out a sharp roar, and its entire body trembled violently. It turned its head angrily and stared at Chu Jiuqing with its other eye full of murderous intent.
Then the tail was raised high and a stream of green venom sprayed towards him.
Chu Jiuqing drew his sword and dodged quickly.
Zhuifeng took advantage of the scorpion's distraction and soared into the air. With the sound of breaking wind, the long sword in his hand pierced straight into the scorpion's other eye.
Following a shrill scream, the giant scorpion's body slowly fell to the ground and kept twitching. After a while, there was no movement.
The little scorpions enjoyed the fright and fled in all directions, disappearing in a moment.
Everyone sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
Chu Jiuqing knew that the dangers in the secret passage were greater than he had imagined, and he had to find an exit as soon as possible.
"We can't stay here for long, let's go quickly."
Chen Qingqing also realized the many potential dangers here and nodded quickly, "Yes, let's hurry forward."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ziyou's ghostly voice sounded again.
"You damned girl, I really underestimated you. You can actually kill my Phantom Firefly Scorpion. You damned thing, if I don't tear you into pieces today, I will be doing a disservice to my dead Moli Spider and Phantom Firefly Scorpion. Just prepare to die!"
Chen Qingqing snorted disdainfully, "Ziyou, don't think you can scare us by getting a few bugs. The devil is one foot high, but the way is ten feet high. You have a plan, and I have a ladder. What other skills do you have? Show us!"
"You little bitch, you're so arrogant! I'm going to see how long you can be so arrogant."
"Okay, I'd like to see what other abilities you have." Chen Qingqing said, signaling Chu Jiuqing with her eyes to judge Ziyou's location by the sound. As long as she was killed, the danger in the secret passage would be eliminated.
Chu Jiuqing understood and was about to move forward.
Zi You laughed wildly, "Silly girl, put away your little tricks, I'm right in front of you now, come and chase me if you have the guts!"
Chu Jiuqing was furious. "Ziyou, if you have the guts, come out openly. Don't hide and use despicable tactics in the dark."
"Your Highness Prince Ning, are you scared? If you kill this damned girl now and agree to be with me, I will immediately rescue you from hell. If you insist on doing so, what awaits you will be an even more terrifying and exciting experience. I will eat your flesh and drink your blood, and you will have to watch your companions die bit by bit, but you will be powerless to do anything..."
"Ziyou, you female devil, come out and die!" Chu Jiuqing was furious, but helpless.
Zi You burst into laughter, "Hahaha... Your Highness Prince Ning has a really cruel heart. Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being disloyal. If you want to kill me, come after me!"
Chen Qingqing knew that what Ziyou said was not empty talk. Since she had gone through so much trouble to lead Chu Jiuqing into the secret passage, it meant that she had made sufficient preparations here. Who knows what dangers might happen in the future.
She lowered her voice and warned, "Xiaoyu, you must stay calm. Don't fall for her tricks. We'd better be careful."
Chu Jiuqing took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.
Everyone walked forward cautiously. After about an incense stick of time, Zhuifeng discovered a protruding stone on the wall.
Driven by curiosity, he shook it vigorously, "Your Highness, this stone seems to be able to move. Could this be the exit?"
Chu Jiuqing stopped and looked carefully, "Take the stone down."
Chen Qingqing felt that this square stone was a little strange. Just as she was about to stop it, Zhuifeng had already used both hands to pull the stone out.
"Everyone be careful!" Chen Qingqing hurriedly reminded loudly.
Upon hearing this, several people dodged backwards subconsciously without having time to think.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the cave.
Zhuifeng let out a long sigh, "Miss Chen, you are too cautious. This shouldn't be dangerous."
After he finished speaking, he came closer and took a peek inside. He saw something emitting red light rushing towards him. He was so scared that he screamed and took several steps back.
"Is there something in there?" As soon as Zhuifeng finished speaking, an animal the same size as a cat ran out from inside.
Just as Chu Jiuqing was about to stab it with his knife, the thing ran deeper into the secret passage and disappeared without a trace in a moment.
"What was that just now?" Zhuifeng asked.
Zhuyue shook his head. "It looks like a cat, but its eyes are glowing red, like a giant mouse!"
"Come on, your rat is so big." Zhuifeng denied it.
Chen Qingqing didn't see clearly what it was, but she was sure that it was definitely not a good thing.
"Everyone, pay attention, there seems to be something inside." Chu Jiuqing reminded loudly while raising his sword and stabbing at the thing that rushed out.
Everyone held up torches and looked down, and they saw that it was actually an oversized rat.
Zhuyue nudged Zhuifeng with his elbow and said, "Well, I was right, wasn't I?"
Zhuifeng was shocked. "This place is so weird. Everything is incredibly large."
Chen Qingqing knew that danger was coming and she had to leave here as soon as possible.
He was about to speak when the ring's notification sounded again.
"Master, please note, this rat is called the Western Region Skeleton-Eating Rat. When it grows up, its entire body can be more than two feet long.
Their hair is rough and hard, like steel needles. Although their ears are small, they are extremely sensitive and can capture extremely subtle sounds.
Once a companion finds prey, it will quickly make a special call to summon nearby rats.
In a short while, thousands of rats will swarm in and eat the prey until only a pile of bones is left.
Because they like to gnaw on animal carcasses, they are called carcass-eating rats.
Its claws are incredibly sharp, allowing it to dig holes and scale cliffs with ease. The most terrifying thing about it is its sharp fangs; once it bites you, you won't let go even if you're beaten to death."
Chen Qingqing's scalp tingled when she heard this, and she subconsciously looked around, "Xiaojie, is this big rat poisonous? Will it attack people?"
