Chapter 37 The cat unleashes its fury, grumbling and cursing.
If we don't fight, we can escape safely, but then we won't be able to mine the iron ore.
Fighting would definitely be very dangerous.
The game already gave her a warning to escape quickly; no matter how you look at it, it's best for her to run away...
Just as Ji Xinghan turned around, suddenly, a series of "squeak squeak squeak" sounds came from the cave entrance, and a large group of rats surged in from outside like a tide.
here we go again!
Startled, Ji Xinghan involuntarily took a step to the side...
[A crystal has been found...]
Crystal?
There are crystals here!
Ji Xinghan glanced around and seemed to spot a white figure not far away.
This place is a treasure trove! Besides iron ore, it also contains the crystal she has been searching for!
Crystal stones are a great thing; they're essential for building bathrooms!
"Squeak, squeak, squeak," the mouse came over.
With so many rats coming, it will be difficult for her to escape!
Ji Xinghan gritted his teeth, took out bundles of pine branches from his backpack, lit them with a lighter, and threw them around.
Thick smoke billowed out, and several flames leaped.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The mice were startled and squeaked incessantly, but this time, they refused to escape no matter what they did.
Unable to escape and too afraid to charge, they could only cry out in terror and linger around them.
Through the thick smoke, Ji Xinghan saw the giant rat guarding the iron ore.
Its small eyes revealed a fierce glint.
Let's get this done first!
If you can't handle it, then run!
The little mice panicked. It was only a dozen meters or so; they should be able to escape!
Ji Xinghan gritted his teeth, took out a repeating crossbow, loaded three iron arrows, and aimed it at the giant rat.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Three iron arrows shot out like lightning.
The giant rat widened its eyes, crouched down, and scurried to the side.
"Thud!" One of the iron arrows hit its rear end.
"Squeak!" it shrieked, leaping wildly and crashing into the stone wall beside it.
With a "crack," the iron arrow broke, leaving the arrowhead inside its body.
"Squeak!" The giant rat turned around and squeaked a few times.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" More swarms of mice poured in from outside, layer upon layer like waves.
so much!
Ji Xinghan's eyes widened. Had she stirred up a hornet's nest?
With so many rats lining up, it will be very difficult for her to escape.
Moreover, the thick smoke was unbearable not only for the rats, but also for her.
"Cough cough cough," Ji Xinghan coughed a few times.
I felt like giving up again. Let's go out for now and come back next time!
Seemingly aware of its thoughts, the giant rat squeaked twice and blocked the passageway.
The passage was no more than a meter wide, and it blocked it like a wall.
The giant rat was still bleeding from its rear end; its eyes were bloodshot, and it let out a few screams.
Ji Xinghan's heart sank... This is trouble!
what to do?
She gritted her teeth, dodged behind the burning pine branches, picked up the repeating crossbow, loaded three bolts, and aimed it at the giant rat.
The giant rat shuddered, let out an angry screech, and lay on the ground, watching Ji Xinghan warily.
With a series of "squeaks," the rats instantly surrounded the giant rat, forming layers of rat formations.
Ji Xinghan had a headache!
These guys know tactics, so her three arrows probably won't hit the giant rat, but only the minions.
She dared not shoot arrows at any time; she only had 10 iron arrows in total, and she had already used up 4 of them!
The two sides are currently at an impasse.
Suddenly, a "meow" came from outside.
"Squeak!" The mice turned around in alarm.
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed: "Doraemon?"
She then worried that Doraemon was too small; it was just a tiny kitten without teeth. Could it handle such a big rat?
"Meow~" Doraemon walked over slowly, stepping on the mice one by one.
It ignored the rats and walked step by step to Ji Xinghan's side.
"Meow!" Little Dingdang looked up and stared at Ji Xinghan.
Ji Xinghan instantly understood: "You want to drink milk?"
She was confused.
Doraemon was indeed not afraid of mice, but the mice didn't seem too afraid of him either; they just stared at him with surprise.
This... the kitten is too small, it won't be of much use, right?
"Meow!" Little Dingdang got impatient, climbed up Ji Xinghan's trouser leg, stood on her left shoulder, and rubbed her face with its little head. "Meow!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
She pointed uncertainly at the swarm of rats with her crossbow bolt: "Doraemon, isn't that your snack? It's so delicious!"
"Meow!" Little Dingdang was unhappy and rubbed against Ji Xinghan again.
The rats didn't attack; they just stared blankly at the little rat, even the giant rat remained silent, carefully observing it.
Helpless, Ji Xinghan had no choice but to hold the longsword in one hand, place the repeating crossbow on his right shoulder, tilt his head to hold it in place, and then take out a carton of soothing milk with his other hand, pull out the straw, insert it, and hand it to Xiao Dingdang.
She dared not put away her weapon, and operating it with only one hand was naturally difficult.
Oops, the lactose-free milk spilled.
Because she was in a high position, after the milk fell, it rolled down the slightly sloping ground and landed right next to a little mouse.
The little mouse lowered its head blankly, sniffed, and then stuck out its little tongue to lick it.
Ji Xinghan was taken aback: "Oh no, I only brought one carton of milk!"
Doraemon understood.
It turned around and saw the little mouse licking the straw.
"Meow!" It got angry, yelled, rushed over, and slapped the little mouse with its paw.
"Sizzle!" The little mouse's tiny body was sliced in two!
Doraemon lowered its head and sniffed the straw of the lactose-free milk, rolled its eyes in disgust, and let out a loud "Meow!"
The giant rat squeaked softly, as if it were feeling guilty or trying to explain something.
"Meow!" Dingdang cried out again, its voice loud and clear, completely different from its previous babyish tone, carrying anger and an indescribable sense of intimidation.
The giant rat lowered its body and weakly squeaked, "Squeak..."
"Meow meow!" Doraemon suddenly went berserk, his body moving like lightning through the swarm of mice.
The sounds of "sizzle" and "sizzle" continued as one mouse after another was scratched. They could only squeak and scream, not daring to put up a fight.
"Wow!" Ji Xinghan exclaimed in delight.
Doraemon is amazing! No wonder he's their natural enemy!
The giant rat looked conflicted, moved its paw, then put it down, and then squeaked twice. The rats immediately scattered and fled towards the hole.
It vanished completely in the blink of an eye.
The giant rat also turned to run away.
"Meow!" Doraemon cried out.
The giant rat stopped, slowly turned around, its eyes full of grievance.
"Meow meow!" Little Dingdang pointed at the milk powder on the ground and kept cursing.
The giant rat squatted pitifully on the ground, its hands covering its head.
Ji Xinghan was stunned.
Tinker Bell and the giant mouse seemed to possess sentience; one was cursing incessantly, while the other obediently accepted the scolding.
Is this the same arrogant rat from before?
Doraemon seemed very angry, meowing incessantly, the sound getting louder and louder. Occasionally, it would point at the milk powder on the ground, roll its eyes, and vomit.
The giant rat pointed anxiously, occasionally letting out a low "squeak".
Ji Xinghan watched the show for two minutes, then suddenly slapped her forehead. Oh my god, she forgot, why was she watching the show? To mine!
She took out her pickaxe, went to the white crystal, and dug!
[Collection successful, obtained 1 Crystal Stone!]
