Squeak!

While Lu Heng was running towards the center of the cave, the Rat King also chased after him to the entrance of the passage.

The Rat King stopped at the entrance of the passage and took a sniff, then followed Lu Heng away.

The two sides continued to chase in this cave.

Soon, Lu Heng came to the entrance of one of the passages.

And just when he came to the entrance of the passage, the Rat King suddenly rushed towards him with all his strength.

Lu Heng hurriedly ducked to the side to avoid the blow.

Then, before the Rat King had time to launch the next attack, he tiptoed towards the other passage.

Quickly came to the edge of the passage.

‘Why is the air in this passage so fresh? ’

Lu Heng found that there were gusts of fresh wind blowing out of the passage he had now selected, bringing a lot of fresh air.

‘Could this passage lead to the surface? ’

Lu Heng guessed in his heart.

And just when he guessed like this, the rat king behind him rushed towards him again.

No way, Lu Heng didn't have time to think any more, he could only carry He Sicheng and rush into this passage with fresh air.

Behind him, the rat king is still chasing after him.

Lu Heng didn't dare to stop at all, and ran forward quickly.

There was another dead end ahead, but Lu Heng was not worried because he saw a tiny spot of light on the ground at the end of the passage.

This means that there is light coming down from above.

Lu Heng's confidence soared.

After reaching the end of the passage, he looked up and found that there was a narrow passage directly above.

The passage has been extending vertically upwards, and it seems that it leads to the ground.

‘It seems that as long as you go up, you can return to the surface. ’

Lu Heng immediately raised his right hand to shoot the hook upwards.

A thin but strong rope is attached to the back of the hook.

This is one of the accessories of Qi energy armor, which can assist the wearer to quickly climb up or down from a cliff to a low place.

After the hook was fired, there was a tinkling sound from above, and then the rope tightened, obviously hooking something.

Lu Heng hurriedly controlled the winch, let the winch tighten the rope, and climbed up with himself and He Sicheng.

And the moment he left the ground, the Rat King also chased the end of the passage.

The rat king was seriously injured, and the space in the passage was too narrow, not as open as the cave outside, which was convenient for activities.

So it was too late, otherwise, it could definitely catch up with Lu Heng before Lu Heng launched the hook.

in the vertical channel.

Seeing that the rat king below was a step late, Lu Heng was relieved.

As long as there are no accidents, he and He Sicheng will be able to escape successfully.

Because this channel has been confirmed to lead to the surface.

I just don't know what's on it, whether there are powerful monsters in action.

...

While Lu Heng and Rat King were chasing, Zeng Yizhou, Zhou Hong and others rushed to the cave where they had been poisoned and unconscious.

"There's a hole in the ground!"

Zhou Hong said excitedly.

As a result, as soon as he said these words, he found that he saw a strange scene.

On the other hand, the other three second-level warriors beside Zeng Yizhou were also hallucinating like him.

Zeng Yizhou looked around and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"There is poison in here!"

Zeng Yizhou hurriedly held his breath, and then pulled Zhou Hong and another warrior to the passage where they quickly communicated.

As a fifth-level warrior, he held his breath for a long time, and Zhou Hong and the two were very weak, so he easily took them out of danger.

Afterwards, he rushed back to the cave full of poisonous gas again, and pulled the remaining two second-level warriors back into the passage outside.

There were originally nine people in their line. One of them was fifth grade, and the other eight were second grade.

However, in the battle just now, four second-level warriors were injured and returned early, so there were only five of them, including him and Zhou Hong.

"Wake me up."

Zeng Yizhou patted Zhou Hong and others on the face and woke them up.

After Zhou Hong and the others woke up, they all asked, "What happened just now?"

"Yeah, how can I see that there are a lot of Rat Dynasty and we rushed over."

"I also killed one of them!"

Seeing that they still didn't know the situation, Zeng Yizhou said in a low voice, "You guys have just been poisoned, and all you see are illusions."

"what?"

Zhou Hong and others were all shocked.

You look at me, I look at you, and it takes a while to accept this fact.

After regaining his senses, Zhou Hong asked, "Senior Zeng, the hole you just saw should be real, right?"

"That's true, it's probably a hole dug by the rat king." Zeng Yizhou nodded.

Zhou Hong frowned and said, "Senior Zeng, do you think the rat king escaped there?"

"It's possible." Zeng Yizhou nodded slightly and said, "That place is full of poisonous gas, and ordinary people can't get close to it at all. It's a good place to hide."

"I even think that the rat king may have been hiding there, only to come out when there is movement outside."

After Zhou Hong and others thought about it for a while, they all felt that Zeng Yizhou's analysis made sense.

Otherwise, why is this rat king so hard to find?

It's so hard to find it just means it's hiding well.

And the cave full of poisonous gas is the perfect place to hide.

"You guys wait here, I'll go take a look."

Zeng Yizhou ordered.

"Okay." Zhou Hong and the others agreed immediately.

Their strength is too weak, even wearing Qi energy armor can't help much, so it's better not to cause trouble to Zeng Yizhou.

Zeng Yizhou turned around quickly, held his breath and ran to the cave at the end of the passage.

His speed was extremely fast, and he came to the cave in just a few seconds.

After standing firm on the edge of the hole, Zeng Yizhou first probed into the hole.

Immediately afterwards, he jumped into the cave and came to the passage below.

"It must be here!"

Zeng Yizhou smiled proudly.

He thought in his heart that he would soon become the first warrior to catch the Rat King and make a great contribution.

Make countless people envious.

Thinking of this, Zeng Yizhou continued to hold his breath and ran forward along the passage.

In less than ten seconds, he came to the end of the passage, where the passage and the underground cave meet.

'This hole is so big? ’

Zeng Yizhou took a quick glance at the light from the headlamp, and was secretly shocked.

According to the scale of this cave, not only the rat king can live here, but also a large group of low-level rock-devouring rats.

It seems that the rock-devouring rats led by the Rat King just now got out from here.

‘There is no trace of the Rat King, is the Rat King not here? ’

Zeng Yizhou searched for the rat king everywhere, but he could not see any trace of the rat king at all.

Of course, the rat king was not found, but the passages entered his field of vision.

Like Lu Heng, he also guessed in his mind that these passages could lead to other areas of the underground labyrinth, and the Rat King could use these passages to quickly go to where he wanted to go.

'Forget it, go back first to change your breath and come back. ’

Zeng Yizhou turned around decisively, returned at a very fast speed, and rushed to the passage where Zhou Hong and others were.

Just now, he also thought about going straight forward, drilling into one of the passages, and then going through that passage to other areas of the underground labyrinth to take a breath.

But on second thought, this is too risky, so I decided to go back the same way.

Anyway, if the Rat King is really here, it will be found sooner or later, so there is no rush.

Also, discovering the Rat King's lair is also a great achievement, and it might even be rewarded with a lot of points.

Zeng Yizhou moved forward quickly, and it didn't take long before he came to Zhou Hong and others.

As soon as Zhou Hong and others saw him, they repeatedly asked, "Senior Zeng, have you found the rat king?"

"No, but I found the rat king's lair." Zeng Yizhou said.

"The rat king's lair?"

"Congratulations to Senior Zeng!"

Zhou Hong and others were stunned for a moment, and then began to congratulate.

They knew in their hearts that the discovery of the Rat King's lair would certainly be a credit.

"Senior, is there any poison in there?" Zhou Hong asked.

"Yes." Zeng Yizhou nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Zeng Yizhou ordered: "Zhou Hong, the four of you hurry back and bring an oxygen bottle."

He wasn't sure if the gas mask could filter the poisonous gas, so it was better to go directly to the oxygen cylinder.

Zhou Hong and the four nodded immediately.

"Come on." Zeng Yizhou waved his hand.

The four turned around immediately, ready to use the topographic map program to return to the starting point to find the oxygen cylinder.

However, just as he was about to start, Zhou Hong suddenly turned around and asked, "Senior, do you want to tell the staff over there about the discovery of the Rat King's nest?"

"No hurry." Zeng Yizhou shook his head decisively.

How can this matter be spread out in such a hurry~lightnovelpub.net~ In case someone else finds out, maybe someone will come to take credit for it.

Also, Zeng Yizhou felt that with his own strength, he might have succeeded in catching the rat king before the oxygen cylinder was brought.

"Don't tell anyone about the rat king and the rat king's lair, not a word, hear me?"

Zeng Yizhou asked sharply.

"Don't worry, senior, we are absolutely tight-lipped."

Zhou Hong and others immediately assured.

"Okay, go and come back quickly." Zeng Yizhou waved his hand again.

The four nodded, and then quickly ran to the depths of the passage.

Zeng Yizhou, on the other hand, turned decisively and ran to the other side of the passage to the Rat King's Nest.

After a minute.

Zeng Yizhou once again came to the giant cave that was suspected to be the Rat King's lair.

The question now is where to start.

'From left to right. ’

Zeng Yizhou glanced at it and quickly made up his mind.

There are seven passage openings in this giant underground hole, excluding the one where he is now, there are six in total.

Zeng Yizhou decided to start with the one on the left in order, so that it would not be easy to mess up.

If there is a situation and you need to rush back to take a breath, it is easy to find the passage when you came.

Without thinking any further, Zeng Yizhou jumped forward, entered the giant cave in front of him, then turned and rushed to the right.

After arriving at the first passage on the left, he entered without hesitation and ran forward along the passage.

'It's a dead end. ’

Soon, Zeng Yizhou figured out the condition of this passage and found that it was a dead end.

Since it is a dead end, the rat king must not be here, but in the other five passages.

‘Go for a breath first, and come back when you’re done. ’

Zeng Yizhou turned and left.
