Chapter 248: Fox and rat fight, equally exciting
At this moment, a cold wind blew, rustling the leaves and making the wine flags flutter in the wind.
Gong Mengbi stepped on a bamboo leaf, stood on the top of the thin bamboo, and opened his arms. It seemed that there was an invisible tail waving behind him, or it seemed that it was just a green smoke like a swimming dragon.
His arms seemed to hold the entire county town in his arms. The wind blew through his back and fluttered his clothes.
In this wind, each fox spirit seemed to be assisted by a god, as light as a swallow and as swift as the wind.
They held a wisp of fire in their hearts, as if holding a candle in their palms, walking through the streets and alleys, passing by the houses on both sides.
Just by moving his nose, he could smell the scent of a mouse, and easily find the mouse's nest. He would blow a wisp of fire into it, and the mouse's nest would be burned in an instant.
The big rat that was trained by the magic was highly valued by the Rat King. He was very bold and when he saw the group of foxes coming along, he broke through the rat's blood path and continued to gather together through the rat path, and finally blocked the fox's way.
One of the giant rats dug a rat tunnel and came out of the street. It was more than a man tall, covered with black hair like a porcupine, with sharp fangs and a ferocious look. It blocked the way of a fox spirit.
Fox Charm was startled and felt a little timid.
The giant rat roared at the fox spirit, bared its fangs and claws, and pounced on her.
Holding the Heartfire, Fox Charm retreated repeatedly, soon being forced into a corner. The giant rat clawed at her, but Fox Charm rolled away, leaving a huge crack in the brick wall.
At the critical moment of life and death, the fox spirit was instead provoked to become ferocious and turned into a big fox, like a dog. The fire in her heart fell from her hand to the tip of her tail at some point, illuminating her fluffy tail.
The giant rat rushed towards the fox spirit again. The fox spirit stomped on all fours and jumped high on the wall. It jumped onto the giant rat and bit its neck. Its four sharp claws hooked onto the giant rat's back, tearing its flesh and blood.
The giant rat cried out in pain and reached out to grab the fox with its claws.
The fox spirit wagged its tail at the giant rat, and the tail hit the giant rat's back, causing its heart fire to burst and set the giant rat on fire.
The black fur on the giant rat's body burned rapidly. It flapped and rolled in the flames, causing the brick wall to shake.
Fox Charm had already jumped off it and watched the giant rat rolling around until it soon became silent.
When Fox Charm was about to leave, he found that because their fight was so loud, the people on both sides had already been alarmed and were secretly spying on the battle.
The fox spirit followed Gong Mengbi's instructions and said, "We are following the order of the Goddess of Mount Tai to drive out the rat plague and protect the people. There is no need to panic."
As he spoke, the fox spirit transformed into a human form again, holding up the heart fire in his hand, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the light of the heart fire.
Similar things happened continuously, and more and more black-haired rats were forced to rush out from various rat tunnels and flee outside.
This night, the scene of the swarm of black rats seemed to be repeated. Although it was not as terrifying as that day, it was enough to scare those brave peepers so much that their faces turned pale and their legs trembled.
Although the foxes were scattered, they also surrounded the western corner of the city. The heart fire was used by them, and with the fear and gratitude of the mice and the people in the city as fuel, it became brighter and brighter. It surrounded the fox spirits, like demons and fairies, and looked very good.
They forced their way to the county granary and finally forced the Rat King out.
The swarm of black rats surged like a throne, placing a gray-haired rat wearing an emerald Ruyi crown and a golden red robe on the throne, blocking the fox spirit's way.
The gray-haired mouse chuckled and said, "Everyone, harmony brings wealth. You are monsters, and I am a monster too, so why should we stand up for humans? I am old and frail, and I only rely on these elite soldiers and generals to show my power. If you kill them, how will I, an old man, survive?"
The gray-haired mouse stood up, reached out his hand, and pulled out a bunch of gold, silver, and jewelry. He handed them over and said, "I heard the county government is offering a reward of fifty copper coins for killing the rats. If you give up, I'm willing to pay a hundred or a thousand times that much for my life."
The gold, silver and jewelry sparkled with a gorgeous luster, just like the eyes of a gray-haired mouse, sparkling with gorgeous light.
The fox spirit was immediately attracted by the radiance of the gold, silver and jewelry, and involuntarily walked towards the gray-haired mouse, wanting to take away the treasure in his arms.
But when they came in front of the gray-haired mouse, the fire in their hearts suddenly lit up and they immediately came to their senses.
The gray-haired Rat King suddenly exclaimed softly, his eyes looking at the floating heart fire on their bodies, and said, "I am really too old to have misjudged this treasure. It is the divine fire from heaven, no wonder it can break my magic."
Although they were foxes, they were bewitched by the illusion. When they looked at the Rat King's arms, there was no gold or silver treasures, only rats. These fox spirits were immediately enraged and pounced on the Rat King.
The Rat King sat among the black-haired rats, and the black-haired rats began to run with him on their backs.
The Gray Rat King sighed and said, "Why are you here? Why are you here?"
A fox spirit sneered, "If it's not us, who are you waiting for?"
The Gray Rat King chuckled and said, "You don't understand. I'm already old, and I don't have many days left to live. I've lived a life of obedience, practicing cultivation and seeking the truth, but I've never been able to achieve immortality. I've only reached the seventh rank, unable to cross the threshold of becoming a Spirit God."
"Don't I look like a human?" The Gray Rat King stood up, his rat form transformed into a human form. "Am I any different from a human? Why can't I cultivate to become a spiritual god?"
He was indeed old. He took a breath and said, "It seems that Heaven has not allowed me to be a human, and Heaven has not allowed me to become an immortal. If that's the case, then why should I cultivate to become an immortal?"
The Gray Rat King exuded a terrifying and dangerous aura. He looked at the Fox Charm and said, "I've been chasing him for so long, but I still haven't seen the Fox King. Do you look down on me?"
The fox spirits smelled a terrifying aura and stopped in their tracks. But the rats also stopped. The Gray Rat King stood up and said, "The Fox King doesn't show himself, but relies on these tiny bits of divine fire to capture me. You underestimate me too much."
"Let me show you my dying struggle." Countless black-haired rats continued to gather towards the Rat King. Once they touched the Rat King, they were like a drop in the ocean, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The terrifying and dark aura of a disaster emanated from the Rat King. He seemed to be drunk, staggering and barely able to stand steady.
The fox spirits shrank back and wanted to retreat, but they were unable to move. They were enveloped by the Rat King's gaze and were trapped in this narrow street.
All the black-haired rats have disappeared, leaving only a short rat king, but he has an indescribable sense of oppression.
"If you don't become a god, becoming a demon would be equally enjoyable, wouldn't it?"
The Rat King looked at Fox Charm and smiled kindly, "Don't you agree?"
