Adventurer of the Elven World

Chapter 480

The pangolin that was still advancing suddenly stopped, stood up, looked around vigilantly, and turned around with Xiu after confirming that there was no threat.

Then Xiu saw a strange scene.

The mountain mouse took it to the dense bushes, and then it got into it by itself, and it didn't take long for it to be silent.

There was a trace of curiosity on Xiu's face, and then he also got in. At first, his body felt scratched by branches, so dense that even he didn't dare to let go of his hands blocking the front, but the surroundings soon became dark , the footsteps stepped into the air, and all the sensations on his body disappeared, but he didn't react, and the whole person fell into it.

Xiu's balance ability is quite good, he reacted as soon as he felt the weightlessness, and stabilized his figure, which didn't cause his head to face down.

The surroundings were pitch black, so Xiu could only grope to get out the small lamp, only to find that he had fallen into a deep pit of about two meters, and the mountain rat was watching him.

"You didn't even tell me first~"

The mountain rat couldn't refute, but just stared blankly at Xiu, with some doubts in its small eyes.

Seeing it like this, Xiu could only wave his hand helplessly, then got up and looked around.

An almost vertical entrance, with a long tunnel extending behind it, was a bit low, and he had to bend over to walk.

It should have been a while to see the traces of construction, and it was not formed congenitally, so it can only be acquired, and it should be dug out by some elf.

As for why Xiu didn't confirm that it was dug by the rat, it was because the scratches on the wall didn't match.

"Lead the way." Xiu's adventurous spirit was eager to try.

What lies behind the ancient and mysterious tunnels?

Chuanshan Shu didn't know why Xiu suddenly became excited, but he still led the way obediently.

While walking and repairing, I observed the surrounding situation, trying to restore what kind of elf it was, how it was dug out, and what is the function of this?
But it is a pity that nothing was found. There was almost no difference in the size of the tunnels. To him, they were all low. Just mushrooms growing in the corners.

It's just that the mushrooms here have become dry and look like a black match.

Because I couldn't tell what it was, out of habit, Xiu collected a lot, and I was going to hand it over to a professional to study it, and maybe I found something new.

At the beginning, Xiu still had the mood to observe slowly, but after he got there, he just left. They were all the same tunnels, there was nothing, and even the best patience was worn out.

After wandering around for a long time, Xiu felt that he was a little confused. Fortunately, the mountain rat leading the way stopped and pointed forward.

Xiu noticed its movement and quickly pushed the lamp forward, noticing something strange in front of it.

A smaller passage, Xiu felt that he might have to climb into it if he wanted to walk.

It's okay to force it in, but in that case it will be difficult to respond to any problems.

"Is there another way? I can't get in here."

The mountain mouse stood up, looked back at Xiu, scratched its belly with two paws, and then looked around.

After a few seconds, he turned and ran back.

When Xiu saw that he could only follow it, he didn't know where it would take him...

The originally quiet mountain forest became noisy with the influx of a large number of humans, and the sound of battles could be heard from time to time. This was the resistance of the local elves. Some succeeded in driving the humans out, and some failed.

The struggle between the two sides will not end in a short while, and will even become more intense as the area of ​​human exploration expands.

Of course, there are also human-to-human struggles, which are even more brutal.

This struggle for the interests of human beings is also a struggle for the survival of elves.

The contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, and the barbarism is fully exposed at this moment.

But this has nothing to do with Xiu, he is still digging a hole.

Finally, the rat's claws pierced through the fragile wall, revealing a large hole.

"Ah~ It's really difficult." Xiu put down the small shovel in his hand, then sat down on the ground, observing here with the help of the lamp hanging on his body.

This is the cave of the mountain rats. They went around the ground and found the nearest passage to dig it.

It was really hard work, and the distance was hundreds of meters intermittently. If it weren't for the strength of the mountain rat, he might not be able to get here for a week of digging.

This cave is very small, only about three cubic meters. It is a horizontal oval shape, and the highest point is only about 1.3 meters high.

Xiu could only come in sitting. The passages connected here are a bit outrageous. There are actually six passages in such a small place, and now we have to add the one just dug.

There is nothing superfluous, but there are a lot of stones, and the stones are all a bit strange.

Xiu was not in a hurry to check the stones, but released Casey.

The already cramped space suddenly became even more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the ventilation is good, otherwise people could be suffocated to death.

"Check what's going on around you and see if there are any abnormalities."

Xiu left instructions for Casey before turning his attention to those stones.

He took a three-finger-sized stone, black as ink, and quite heavy, it didn't feel like an ordinary stone, but there were no signs of being bitten on it.

Then he took out the gnawed meteorite from his pocket.

Comparing the two, there is no difference, and the materials are very similar.

Is this the reason?
But how could an iron meteorite arouse its appetite?

After the mountain rat bit it open, Xiu further confirmed that the meteorite was an ordinary iron meteorite, so there should be nothing special about it~
Thinking back to what the mountain rat said before, what attracted it, and then it disappeared after a while.

Is it the special energy contained in the meteorite?

Xiu immediately remembered the [cosmic power] that old Pixie had said.

Could it be that the meteorite was contaminated with this kind of power when it fell, and then attracted the rats to devour it, but this kind of power will slowly dissipate, so that's why that happened.

In other words, what the mountain rat needs is [cosmic power], not a meteorite?
But why is Yuejianshan so big that it only has one mountain rat?

what about others?

Mr. Xiu felt that he had grasped something, but it was not coherent.

"How is it?" Xiu looked at Casey, "Did you find anything?"

With direct telepathy, Xiu obtained the surrounding situation.

In the outside world, Casey can control a radius of one kilometer at most, but this range is greatly reduced underground, and he can only see a radius of about 200 meters with his best efforts.
