Chapter 123 Investigation (3)
However, Lan Qingling recovered very quickly. She used Nanzhou's body to shield her eyes and then raised her head.
Nanzhou, who was standing in front of her, saw all of Lan Qingling's actions and felt heartbroken for a moment.
He immediately returned to his human form and held Lan Qingling tightly in his arms to comfort her.
Shihua looked at Nanzhou a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect Xiaoling well."
Shihua only felt that this matter was his own responsibility. After all, Mingji and Cangshu had nothing to do with Nanzhou and Lan Qingling. But he was the uncle of Nanzhou and Lan Qingling, but he failed to protect his younger generation.
At this time, Ming Ji and Cang Shu looked at Lan Qingling with apology in their eyes. After all, she was a junior of Shihua and they were acquainted with them. It was reasonable for them to protect Lan Qingling.
"Uncle, this is not your fault, it's my own fault.
I noticed something was wrong a long time ago, but I tried to check it myself and didn’t wake you up right away…”
After hearing Shihua's words, Lan Qingling quickly raised her head from Nanzhou's arms and said.
Nanzhou also shook his head at Mingji and Cangshu, indicating that they didn't have to feel sorry for it.
After all, before he came out, Shihua and Cangshu had advised him to keep Lan Qingling in the Silver Wolf Tribe, and it was he who promised to protect Lan Qingling.
"Okay, okay, let's stop here and see what these two things are all about."
Seeing that Lan Qingling and Nanzhou had no intention of blaming them, Shihua came out to smooth things over.
"Ah."
When Nanzhou mentioned the two gray mice that scared Lan Qingling, anger flashed in his eyes again.
Mingji and Cangshu also looked at the gray mouse that was struggling in pain on the ground.
"Nanzhou, can you sense their presence?"
Shihua turned around and asked Nanzhou.
Nanzhou shook his head and said, "I can't feel it."
If it weren't for the two gray mice struggling right in front of him, Nanzhou would have thought that there was nothing here.
"From the looks of it, it's not a beast from Longxuan Continent. It's close to the seal here. It should have come from Yungui Continent."
Cangzhu squatted in front of the gray mice and looked at them carefully.
"It's not a good thing anyway, so it's better to kill it as soon as possible."
Ming Ji said as he wanted to get rid of the two gray mice.
As a snake beastman, perhaps it was out of instinct, but he wanted to kill the rats when he saw them.
The two gray mice that had been struggling suddenly froze after hearing Mingji's words, and obvious fear appeared in their pair of soybean-sized eyes.
The moment the two gray mice showed signs of fear, the people from Nanzhou clearly discovered that they could vaguely feel the breath of the two gray mice.
After they looked at each other and exchanged thoughts with their eyes, two water arrows appeared in Mingji's hands, and they instantly flew towards the two gray mice.
"Don't kill us!"
The two gray mice immediately ran away with their heads in their hands, their voices filled with panic, and the two water arrows followed slowly behind them.
The people who heard the voices of the two gray mice all showed a look of "as expected" in their eyes.
"It turns out to be a rat beastman instead of a rat beast! Humph, the cunning rat beastman is really good at pretending to be one!"
Mingji looked at the gray mice running around with disgust in his eyes.
"Dang Dang Dang——"
Cang Zhu moved his hand slightly, and more than a dozen earth pillars appeared around the two gray mice, trapping them inside.
At this time, Nanzhou and his team were able to lock onto the location of the two gray mice based on their scent.
"It's interesting~"
Ming Ji still held a water arrow in his hand. He stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the two gray mice shivering in the earthen cage, with an ambiguous smile on his face.
Then Mingji walked to the earthen cage with a water arrow in his hand, and deliberately used the water arrow to poke the two gray mice.
The two gray mice hugged each other, their eyes fixed on the water arrow in Mingji's hand, fearing that Mingji would slip and give them a chilling blow.
As rat orcs, they also have an instinctive fear of snake orcs.
"Tell them to transform into human form first!" Nanzhou glanced at Lan Qingling, who had been curled up in his arms and was unwilling to even look at the gray mouse, and said to Mingji.
"Did you hear that?"
Mingji poked the two gray mice with the water arrow in his hand again.
"I heard it, I heard it!"
The two gray mice looked at the earth pillars around them, and then said with some embarrassment: "This place is a bit small!"
Cang Shu waved his hand and removed the earth pillar. Ming Ji also stood up and took two steps back to make room for the two gray mice.
The two gray mice did not dare to delay and quickly transformed into human form.
"Okay, Bunny, they've transformed into human form, you can... you better stop looking!"
Nanzhou covered the eyes of Lan Qingling who had just raised her head from his arms.
But his action made Lan Qingling even more curious.
She pulled Nanzhou's hand down and turned to look at the two rat beastmen with some curiosity.
But the next second, Lan Qingling's expression cracked.
The two rat beastmen were no more than half a meter tall, with gray-black skin all over their bodies. Their short limbs were covered with fine and rough gray-black hair, and there was no luster at all.
In addition, their heads are triangular in shape, their eyes are only slightly larger than soybeans, but still bulge out like light bulbs, and the skin around their eyes is wrinkled.
According to Lan Qingling's visual observation, the wrinkles were so severe that even a mosquito would sprain its ankle if it touched it.
Their noses are also very strange, so flat that only two black spots can be seen.
Their mouths are normal, just like the mouths of ordinary orcs.
But when put on their faces, it looks very abnormal.
“Good…good…good——” Ugly!!!
After saying the last two words, Lan Qingling opened her mouth for a long time but finally swallowed them back into her stomach.
Because Mingji had already expressed his own opinion first: "How can you two be so ugly... so ugly that you don't even look like a human being!"
Cangshu and Shihua also had expressions that were difficult to describe.
The two rat beastmen knew that they were ugly and did not dare to offend Shihua and the others in front of them, so they did not dare to say anything and just grinned at Shihua and the others.
Ming Ji, who was closest to the two rat beastmen, took a deep breath and walked out of the cave: "I'm going to go out and calm down. If you want to ask anything, please ask it quickly. I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down for long."
The implicit meaning of his words was that he wanted to kill these two rat beastmen.
Although the two rat beastmen were ugly, they were not stupid. They immediately understood what Mingji meant and knelt down in front of Shihua and the others. "My lords, we came here only out of curiosity, and it was raining heavily. We had nowhere to hide and thus accidentally barged in. Please let us go!"
grown ups?
When Lan Qingling heard the rat beastmen's name for them, she immediately looked at the two rat beastmen, but after seeing their appearance, Lan Qingling buried her head in Nanzhou's arms again.
But I was wondering in my heart, this name on Yungui Continent...
Nanzhou looked at Lan Qingling, who suddenly raised her head and then lowered it suddenly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. What happened to his rabbit?
