Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 154: Run! (Thanks to Brother Jian V for the -point reward)
"Listening to advice" can be considered one of the few virtues of Master Kang.

As soon as Gun Shide's shout of "run" hit the ground, Kang Dabao turned around without thinking and ran towards Gun Shide at full speed.

After running for a while, Kang Dabao seemed to have guessed what was behind him that had frightened Gun Shide, a true cultivator from the capital, so much.

The noise behind me became louder and louder. At first it was like a downpour hitting the ground, then it was like the sound of drums drumming up troops, and then it was like spring thunder and surging floods.

"A swarm of gold-eating rats!" Master Kang could only exclaim in his heart.

The high-quality speed talismans that he usually didn't want to use were pasted all over his calves as if they were free of charge. He also used the White Ape Step, a footwork that he used to fight the enemy, to speed up his journey and save his life.

Gun Shide should have fled far away at this moment, leaving behind the panic just now and becoming quite calm. Because Kang Dabao heard his shouting again in the mine tunnel, this time the voice of the recorder of the Bo Mansion seemed even more sonorous, as if it could explode in the ears of the monks in the entire mine vein.

But there was only one word in that shout: "Run!"

The monks recruited by the state court this time were in different situations.

Some of them were lucky and had never seen a single monster, and had been searching in the desolate and lonely mine tunnels; some of them were unlucky, like the team of Master Kang, who was targeted by the disciples of the Sanxiang Sect and harassed by several groups of beasts; some of them had the worst luck and had no team at all, as they were directly dispersed and hunted by monsters and became tender meat for the mouths.

However, no matter what situation the team is in, they will be stunned for a moment when they first hear the word "run".

Because at this moment they could only hear Gun Shide's warning, but could not hear the thunder behind Master Kang.

Gold-eating rats are a type of monster with very weak individual strength. Even if they can successfully grow into the first-level lower grade after adulthood, the number will not account for more than one-third. If they can cultivate to the first-level middle grade, they will be considered to have broken through the shackles of their race.

Moreover, even in front of other monsters of the same level, the gold-eating rat itself is very weak.

This also caused them to be used as food for other monsters, and they rarely had the chance to kill monsters of the same level alone. Even some strong warriors in the martial arts sect had a greater chance of winning when facing one or two first-level low-grade gold-eating rats.

When there are no large groups gathering together, these monsters are indeed nothing to be feared.

But once they gather together, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, those individuals with outstanding qualifications in the rat group can use the abundant demonic energy of their own kind to practice, and in a relatively short period of time, they can practice to the first-level middle-grade, first-level upper-grade, or even raise a second-level rat king.

Not only that, when they form a swarm, their speed will also increase, and it will be difficult for ordinary Qigong practitioners to escape from their mouths.

If a top-grade second-level Rat King leads a group of 100,000 demon rats, even a fake pill will have to avoid it.

Fortunately, the talents of this type of monster are quite limited, and the probability of raising a second-level rat king is extremely small, otherwise it would really become a disaster.

"Damn it!" A gold-eating rat escaped very quickly. Master Kang could already hear its squeaking sound in his ear, and the stench he smelled was getting stronger and stronger. The rat group was really getting closer and closer!

At this time, the refined corpse had been put back into the corpse bag. If this clumsy guy faced this almost endless swarm of gold-eating rats, all his strength and corpse poison would be of little use. He would be overwhelmed by the rats in an instant and eaten clean by these non-picky beasts.

"Chief!" Two bright rays of lightning suddenly lit up in the dark mine tunnel.

The fast-running rats suffered first. Naturally, these gold-eating rats, most of which were still ordinary beasts, could not resist the first-class top-grade lightning talisman. The lightning flashed along the mine tunnel and swept away a large area of ​​the rats that were so dense that they almost filled the mine.

"Hua Hua Hua," large numbers of rat carcasses accumulated into a thick pile in the cave, but the charred carcasses on the ground were not wasted, but became food for their fellow tribesmen behind them.

The gold-eating rats behind him were not frightened by the fate of their own kind and stopped their steps. They rushed over the pile of corpses one after another, and did not forget to turn their heads away, pick up a rat corpse and run while chewing it.

Some of the slower ones who didn't get any meat to eat simply used their dark yellow teeth to bite off a piece of black rock and started chewing it.

The original meaning of the word "gold-eating" for gold-eating rats is that these ugly creatures can eat ores for a short period of time when they lack food. Black iron ore and wind copper ore are one of their common foods, and spiritual stone ore is much more fragrant than these spiritual ores.

After eating their snacks, the gold-eating rats ran even harder. The entire mine seemed to be filled with the squeaking of the gold-eating rats, which disturbed Master Kang and caused him to make another wrong step.

As it slowed down, a gold-eating rat in the front saw the opportunity. A spiritual light appeared on its body, which made its black and gray fur look a little holy, but only a little. The face of the gold-eating rat showed an extremely anthropomorphic cruel expression, stretched out its four claws that could split mountains and rocks, and with a cold light between its claws, it pounced towards Kang Dabao.

Kang Dabao remained calm in the face of danger. He first changed his footwork back to the correct one, then dodged to the side and at the same time, he slashed with the black short blade as the man and the rat passed by each other.

The rat's head fell to the ground. Although Kang Dabao won, he was unable to escape and was entangled by a small group of the fastest gold-eating rats.

Kang Dabao knew that he couldn't be stingy any longer. If he was any slower, he would really be unable to escape.

"Command!" Three more thunder talismans were cast at the same time, causing Kang Dabao himself to feel a little dazzled. Not to mention the gold-eating rats, the lightning was blinding and the thunder talismans were deadly.

Even though he cleared a large area of ​​the gold-eating rats behind him, they soon caught up again. Sect Leader Kang was not surprised by the performance of the gold-eating rats.

It's easy to imagine that if a stack of thunder talismans that even Gun Shide looked down upon could stop them, then why would this clerk of the Earl's Mansion be running for his life?
Kang Dabao took a deep breath, tried his best to squeeze out a little strength from his bones, and controlled his footwork even more vigorously to earn a glimmer of hope.

Fortunately, as Master Kang spared no effort in his escape, he finally saw the many monks who had been fighting with the Purple Fire Jackal in the mine tunnel just now.

Due to the defeat of the short and thin monk, those groups of Purple Fire Jackals almost lost their leader. Faced with increasingly tragic casualties, the Purple Fire Jackals finally could not hold on any longer and scattered to various places in an attempt to save their lives.

It’s not that Master Kang is a bad person who insists on leading the rats here, but it’s because he only recognizes the way they came here.

If he accidentally got lost in this criss-crossing mine, Kang Dabao would really become the first leader of Chongming to be eaten by the gold-eating rats.

There are many times when having a companion around may not necessarily be helpful, but it can still cheer you up.

At this time, all the monks could already see the beards on the faces of the rat vanguards behind Kang Dabao and their crazy looks of choosing prey to eat, and they immediately cursed out loud in their hearts!

"Run!" Master Kang made a gesture with his fingers, and three thunder talismans ignited behind him, buying the monks some time.

There was no need for him to shout at this time. The monks all suppressed their injuries, put on shocked faces and fled towards the entrance they came from.

The first lone monk appeared soon after, followed by the second and third.
Rats are not bears, their appetite is much bigger than the latter.

Therefore, even though more and more monks were being eaten up, the rats were still not satisfied. Once they found a chance to get close to the monks, they would rush up fearlessly and bite them mercilessly.

The fine robes were bitten into strips in an instant. These beasts relied on their small size and even dared to drill into the monks' anus, mouth, and ears.
Once they get in, they have to use both internal and external means to devour the monk until not even a trace is left.

Kuai En seemed to have run out of strength. The fierce battle with the jackals just now had already consumed a lot of his spiritual energy. He rushed to Kang Dabao's side and said in a sad voice: "Uncle, I can't run anymore!"

Kang Dabao threw him a bottle of soul-restoring elixir and told him to continue running away without saying anything.

At this time, the two of them had squeezed into the middle position in the monks' team. Behind them, a monk in the early stage of Qi training had exhausted his spiritual power. The elixir he swallowed had not yet taken effect when a gold-eating rat tore open his throat and drilled in.

When the inhuman howl behind them reached their ears, making Kuai En's hair stand on end, it was then that the head of the Kang family asked in a cold voice, "Are you still unable to run?"

The screams behind him soon stopped, and Kuai En immediately felt that his legs, which had been heavy as a thousand pounds, had regained strength. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can run!"
