"Woo, woo ~"
The howling of the wolves outside was getting louder. Clearly, it was unrealistic to run out now. Judging from the howling, there were at least dozens of wolves.
Dozens of Iron Spur Wolves was not a problem. The problem was that once the fight started, more and more wolves would be attracted. What if the Wolf King was attracted?
If they could not get out, then they had to fight to the death. They had to defend against the Stone Rats first and wait for the wolves to retreat before they could go out.
"How can there be Stone Rats in a place like this?
Don't Stone Rats like to live in the Red Stone Mountains? "
A warrior of the Liu Family murmured in confusion. Stone Rats usually lived in a Red Stone Mountain in the north.
That mountain was full of Stone Rats, but no Stone Rats were seen in other places. Why would there be a group here?
Liu Yi and Patriarch Hong had no time to think about this. Liu Yi ordered, "Take turns to attack and repel the Stone Rats."
Liu Yi rushed forward. Patriarch Hong and another warrior also started to fight.
The cave was too small. At most, three people could fight at the same time. The others had to stand behind and take turns.
Lu Li stood at the back. He listened for a while to make sure that the wolves were not attacking the boulders.
He looked into the cave and saw that Liu Yi and the others could fend off the Stone Rats. He sat down in the cave and took out some dried meat and water from the jute bag on his back to eat to replenish his strength.
The other four looked at Lu Li eagerly. They did not have the habit of bringing food with them. There were plenty of supplies in the camp. They could only watch Lu Li eat.
After fighting for half the night, everyone was exhausted. They had used up a lot of physical and mental strength.
Lu Li thought about it and took out all the dried meat and water. He handed them over and said, "That's all. Share it."
They looked at Lu Li in a more pleasant way. Nobody knew how long they would be trapped in the cave. The dried meat and water might be able to save their lives.
Everyone split up and ate some dried meat and water. Then they sat down with their legs crossed to cultivate Xuan Energy and restore their strength.
Stone Rats were Xuan Beasts of the lowest rank. Liu Yi and the others could deal with them easily.
However, they were hard to kill. They could only repel the Stone Rats one by one. If the Rat King did not appear, they would not be in danger for the time being.
After an hour, Liu Yi and the others retreated. Three people took their place.
Lu Li was at the back. He paid no attention and continued to cultivate and recover.
There was still some dried meat and water left. Liu Yi forced herself to eat some in order to replenish her strength.
The pack of wolves outside still hadn't retreated, howling incessantly.
Fortunately, the boulder blocked the entrance of the cave, preventing the wolf pack from entering. Everyone was relatively safe.
An hour later, it was Lu Li's turn.
Lu Li cultivated for two hours and recovered some of his Xuan Energy. He carried the Heaven Kylin Sword and rushed up. As soon as he got on the field, the situation was completely different.
The Stone Rat's speed wasn't fast, and its attacks weren't fierce, but its defense was abnormally strong.
Lu Li specialized in dealing with this kind of abnormal defense. With one swing of his saber, the Stone Rat would be smashed away. If it didn't die, it would be seriously injured.
With the addition of Lu Li, the pressure on the other two was greatly reduced. Lu Li became braver as the fight went on. He even began to fight back. He pressed his way into the cave and smashed away the Stone Rats one by one.
"Alright!"
The two people next to him knew what to do and began to support Lu Li. The two of them followed Lu Li's left and right sides and fought back against the horde of Stone Rats.
"Alright!"
Patriarch Hong cheered, "Lu Li, drive the Stone Rats back to their nest. Kill them until they don't dare to come out. Liu Yu, you go and help Lu Li."
"Kill!"
Lu Li roared. Now that the Stone Rats were retreating, how could he miss such a good opportunity?
He had rested for two hours, so his physical strength and state were at their peak. Now, he led the other three and attacked fiercely, forcing the Stone Rats to retreat.
The Stone Rats were scared of Lu Li. The Heaven Kylin Sword in Lu Li's hand was too sharp, too strong, and too fast. Every time Lu Li attacked, a Stone Rat would be killed or injured.
The cave was narrow and deep. Lu Li led Liu Yu and the other two to attack along the way.
They had been walking for an hour and killed hundreds of Stone Rats, but they still hadn't reached the end of the cave.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, the cave in front of them widened, and there was a fork in the road. There were three tunnels.
The group of Stone Rats didn't retreat here. They guarded the small entrance and kept making strange sounds.
"What's in the cave?
Rare treasures or top-level elixirs? "
Lu Li, Liu Yu and the others looked at each other in confusion. The Stone Rats were guarding the tunnel, which meant that there must be something inside that the Stone Rats wanted to protect. Otherwise, they would keep retreating.
"Are there really treasures?"
Liu Yu's eyes lit up. Usually, there would be Xuan Beasts guarding the treasures.
The Stone Rats usually lived in the Red Stone Mountain, so it was strange for them to appear here. Now, the situation was even more confusing.
"Let's kill our way in and see what's in there!"
Liu Yu's suggestion was agreed by the other two. Lu Li was curious as well. Who didn't want to get some treasures?
He took a few deep breaths, nodded and said, "Let's kill our way in. You guys follow me."
Lu Li led the other three and attacked fiercely. Liu Yu and the other two also risked their lives for the treasures. The Stone Rats were screaming and retreating. Eventually, they all retreated into the small tunnel.
The entrance of the tunnel was so small that only one person could get in. Liu Yu and the others were afraid that there was a Rat King inside, so they didn't dare to enter ahead of time.
Lu Li had to grit his teeth and stay in the front by himself. He hacked and slashed with his Heaven Kylin Sword, forcing the Stone Rats to retreat.
After more than 30 feet, the tunnel suddenly widened and a huge cave appeared.
There was an entrance at the top of the cave. Bright moonlight poured into the cave through the entrance, lighting it up.
"Treasures of heaven and earth!"
Lu Li's eyes lit up. He saw a Mystical Grass with seven leaves in the middle of the cave. The Mystical Grass glowed under the moonlight, and there was a faint white mist surrounding it. One look and Lu Li could tell that it was not an ordinary thing.
There were not many Stone Rats in there, only about 100. At the moment, those Stone Rats were gathered in a corner, not near the Mystical Grass.
"Something is wrong!"
Lu Li squinted his eyes. The Stone Rats guarded the cave with their lives, but they didn't protect the Mystical Grass. Instead, they gathered in the corner?
Could there be more precious treasures in the corner?
"Lu Li, what is going on in there?
Why are you stopping? "
Lu Li blocked the entrance so that Liu Yu and the others could not get in. Naturally, Lu Li shouted anxiously.
Lu Li thought about it and rushed into the cave. Then he ran directly towards the Stone Rats.
He was sure that there must be more precious treasures among the Stone Rats, far more valuable than the Mystical Grass with seven leaves.
While running, Lu Li shouted, "There is a precious Mystical Grass over there. I will go and distract the Stone Rats. You guys find a way to pick the Mystical Grass as soon as possible. Don't damage it."
Lu Li rushed towards the Stone Rats in the corner. Liu Yu and the other two rushed into the cave. Their eyes were immediately attracted by the glowing Mystical Grass.
They glanced at the Stone Rats in the corner and found that Lu Li was already fighting. Naturally, they dared not to waste any more time. They all rushed towards the Mystical Grass with seven leaves.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Lu Li was afraid that Liu Yu and the others would notice him, so he attacked with all his might. He waved his Heaven Kylin Sword wildly, wounding and killing the Stone Rats along the way. Soon, he rushed into the crowd of Stone Rats.
"Eh …"
With the help of the dim light from the Xuan Energy and the hazy moonlight, Lu Li glanced through the crowd of Stone Rats. However, he did not find any treasure or Mystical Grass.
However, he did find a special "Stone Rat". This special "Stone Rat" was very small, only the size of a fist. It was covered with white fur without any impurities. It did not look like a Stone Rat, but more like a kitten.
"Why are these Stone Rats surrounding a small white beast?"
Lu Li raised his Heaven Kylin Sword high and was about to cut down at the small white beast. The Stone Rats next to him roared angrily and attacked Lu Li in a frenzy.
On the other hand, not only did the small white beast not move, but it was also staring at Lu Li's neck. In its jewel-like eyes, there was a bit of fear and passion.
The small white beast was so adorable. It did not have any ferocious qi and energy of Xuan Beasts. It was harmless to humans, just like a pet.
Lu Li followed the white beast's gaze and found that because of the fight, the animal tooth pendant on its neck was exposed.
Lu Li had an idea. He swung his Heaven Kylin Sword to the side and smashed away several Stone Rats. He did not attack the small white beast.
Whoosh ~
At this moment, the small white beast suddenly moved. It turned into a white shadow, and it was so fast.
Lu Li only saw a flash of white light. The small white beast had sneaked into the small jute bag on his back …
