One of the biggest differences between inland cities and cities near the sea is that it is underground. If it is Shanghai, you cannot dig ten meters down to ensure that water overflows. However, in a city like Jilin, if you dig twenty meters down to dig, it will still be soil, so there is this reason why Shanghai cannot produce thousands of years of antiques.

Following Xu Fo, I walked to the house where black mist floated out in my eyes. There was no one in the house, no decorations or furniture. Just as I pushed open the door, it was a foul smell, like the disgusting smell mixed with rotten meat and corpses.

I covered my mouth and nose with my sleeves and looked inside. When I saw this, I saw a large pit on the ground, which was black, about thirty to forty centimeters wide, not artificially dug out, because there were obvious traces of animal claws and sharp teeth gnawing on the edge of the pit. Then, looking at the corners of the walls around, there were some bones scattered, mainly beast bones, which were corroded, and several black organ fragments fell not far away.

"Jiji..."

I heard some tiny sounds, like the sound of a mouse. Some messy crawling sounds came from all around me, and I began to get nervous. If it was really a rat monster, then Xu Fo and I would probably be discovered by monsters once they were seen by the mouse. Even if Xu Fo had a deep understanding of the great way, I still had no idea. If something really happened, he would leave me and run away alone.

Don't blame me for being suspicious. If it weren't for a series of things that happened one after another, I wouldn't have become what I am today.

“There are rats.”

I pulled Lashfo's arm and whispered, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the big pit in front of me. I originally thought the big pit should be very deep, but I didn't expect that it fell to the ground as soon as I jumped down. It was because the room was too dark that I didn't realize that the big pit was only half a meter deep.

"Why is it so shallow?"

I asked with a frown.

"Because this is a place for rat demons to eat, we will serve as their food once, which will also let you understand why rat demons here do not eat humans."

Xu Fo's words made me confused for a moment. Just as I was about to ask a question, the rats around me were screaming more and more, and they became more and more chaotic. In the dark house, unusually messy footsteps began to come to me. A trace of fear appeared on my face. I took a few steps back and stood behind Xu Fo.

"Jiji, Jiji..."

When a group of mice that see us humans only hiding and never dare to show their faces in front of us humans comes in large groups, when a person is surrounded by large patches of black mice, the dense fear can make people sweat and get goose bumps all over their body.

In the darkness, pairs of green and narrow green eyes lit up, like tiny lanterns shaking in front of me. The rat's screams gradually disappeared, and the sound of sharp claws and ground friction had stopped, as if everything had calmed down. But I knew that the rats were coming, and they looked at us, and through those green eyes I seemed to be able to feel a feeling like looking at food.

Yes, the rat group regards Xu Fo and me as food...

To be honest, I am indeed very scared when encountering such a situation. Although these mice are not necessarily better than real mice, and there is also a master beside me who can smash the car with a wave of his hand, but after all, I am still young and I feel very unsure.

"Fear?"

Xu Fo asked me in a low voice, and I raised my head, and I could see the light in his eyes in the darkness. Just like when I first saw him, this man always had a strange glow.

I nodded slightly, then realized that he might not see my movements in the darkness. When he was about to speak, he heard Xu Fo reach out and pat my head. It didn't hurt much, but it suddenly knocked away the fear in my heart. Then I heard him say to me: "Boy, if even these mice are afraid, they will not be a big deal in the future."

At this moment, in the distance of darkness, it seemed to be outside the house, a particularly sharp chirping came, which was also the cry of rats, but it showed a sense of command. When this chirping sounded, all the rats around moved, and large groups of gray rats began to crawl and move, and they were about to attack us!

The word monster has been accompanied by China's historical civilization for thousands of years, and has also extended into China's huge mythological system. Which mythological story does not have monsters? Which dynasty has never had a legend of monsters?

But why in modern times, no one believes that there are monsters in this world? In fact, there is a very common and strange phenomenon in modern society, that is, more and more people believe that there are Buddhas and ghosts in this world, but they do not believe that immortals and monsters have appeared in this world because they have never seen them, and even similar events rarely happen.

However, I know that there are really monsters in this world, and this belief starts from tonight and from the big pit in this private house.

The rat swarmed around me, I was their food, and they were my enemies. Xu Fo was behind his back with his hands. This was his habitual movement, just like an old man walking always looked like an old god.

But when the group of rats rushed over, Xu Fo still asked me calmly: "Boy, what would you do if I was not by your side when you encounter this situation?" Dai Gangsui.

Of course, there is no need to say the nervousness in my heart. When I heard him ask me questions so calmly, I became anxious and shouted: "Senior, the rat group has rushed over. You should think of a solution, otherwise we will all be eaten!"

Xu Fo shook his head slightly and said, "You must remember to be impatient at any time. When you encounter such a dangerous situation, the more impatient you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. Only calmness can make you live. If I am not by your side in the future, you can only rely on two points. The first is your strength and the second is your brain. Obviously, if you don't have the strength now, that is your brain."

At this time, the surrounding rats had slowly moved to the edge of the pit, and the messy ears made people feel "chir..." sound made me even more scared. I picked up a piece of broken bone from the ground and grabbed it in my hand, but I didn't hold it firmly. The sharp edge of the broken bones suddenly cut through my hand, and blood flowed down my arm and dripped into the pit. There was not much blood. I hurriedly covered the wound with my hand, but at this moment I found that the surrounding rats were retreating. They did not approach me, but kept rushing backwards, as if they had encountered something terrible.

"They are actually retreating..."

I murmured in surprise, Xu Fo smiled slightly and said, "Have you noticed it yet?"

I was stunned and looked down at my fingers. Before the fingers were cut, they tried to swallow Xu Fo and me, but as soon as my fingers were cut, they immediately retreated when the blood flowed out. I looked at the wound on my fingers, and after a moment, I said as if I suddenly realized: "It's blood, it's my blood that made them retreat! The mice have a very developed sense of smell, but their vision is very low. These mice can't see who we are, let alone in this darkness. They must have thought we are beasts or poultry, so they wanted to eat us. But once they smelled the smell of human blood on my body, they immediately retreated. But why don't they eat humans?"

Although it was temporarily safe, the problem that troubled me was still not solved. Xu Fo smiled and grabbed my arm, took me to the outside of the pit, and then walked out with great strides. The rats around him made way, as if they were afraid to approach us. Xu Fo said while walking, "The rat demon is outside the house. Do you know if you ask it?"
