Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

"what!"

"Help!"

……

People died along the way, and there were screams, like drums urging everyone to move forward, making them run away regardless of effort.

Running wildly all the way, exhausted a lot of strength, Cao De and others were out of breath, and finally ran to the first left and right stone chambers.

"Quickly enter the stone room!"

With a roar, Cao De pushed open the stone gate and rushed in, followed by the crowd behind him.

After entering the stone room, Cao De slumped on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Quickly, close the stone door."

Hearing the order, the last person who entered hurriedly closed the door, holding on firmly. For those who have not yet entered, I can only say sorry in my heart.

At first, there were people pushing the door, but as time went by, Shimen became quiet, as if there was no one outside.

The rest of the people in the room sat in a stateless state for the rest of their lives. The escape just now exhausted their physical strength.

After resting for about ten minutes, Cao De said, "Inside, sooner or later you will die. Do you think there is any way to escape?"

In the face of this man-eating rat, what can be done, unless there is a lot of kerosene, but this is unrealistic. What one person can carry is only so little, and it has been used for a long time.

There is kerosene, but it is impossible to burn these mice on a large scale. No one answered, Cao De said helplessly, "Look at the situation outside?"

After Cao De finished speaking, a person by the door shivered and slowly pushed it open, only to see a field of mice outside, waiting quietly.

The flames exposed in the crack of the door made them all look at it, and the person who pushed the door was frightened, so he hurriedly closed the stone door.

"General, general, those mice are guarding the outside."

"Tsk." It's troublesome to stay outside. If you don't leave for a few days, you will starve to death. It seems that you have to find a way to leave.

Thoughtful, Cao De tapped the underground stone slabs a few times with his hands, showing a helpless expression on his face.

It seems that there is no hope if you want to dig out the hole, so there are only two options, one is to wait for someone to support, the other is to rush out desperately, but the hope is not great.

There is no other way, so I have to wait and pray for that second-best opportunity to appear, otherwise I have to wait until the end and fight desperately.

Cao De took out his dry rations, took a bite and said, "Recover your strength first, and see if someone will come to rescue you. If not, you have to fight to the death."

Hearing this, everyone in the room began to quietly take out dry food and eat. At this time, this is the only way to do it.

Time passed by, and everyone in the room didn't know how long it had passed. Some people who had already prepared for the worst began to fall asleep heartlessly, and there was a weak snoring sound.

And those who don't want to die and are afraid of death are panicked, thinking about it restlessly, with despair on their faces.

Suddenly a trace of smoke came into the room, and those with sensitive noses couldn't help inhaling, and asked curiously, "What's the smell? It seems to be produced by burning oil."

"Yes, it is true."

"No way, isn't someone coming to save us?"

……

Hope appeared, without Cao De's words, the person at the door had already pushed open a stone door, a puff of smoke went straight into the room, and the flames outside were soaring into the sky, even though he was guarding the rats outside, he kept retreating.

"General, someone is here to save us!"

Cao De had noticed something strange a long time ago, but he didn't speak. At this time, the voice of joy sounded, and he stood up slowly and came to the door. "How's the situation outside?"

Hearing Cao De's words, a familiar and joyful voice sounded. "General, thank God that you are still alive. I didn't come here to save you. Quickly, drive these beasts away."

A few minutes later, Wang Pi came to Shimen, knelt down and said, "General, I hope you will forgive me for not being late."

Cao De helped Wang Pi up and said, "You and I have been in the tomb for many years, this is really normal, don't do this, tell me quickly, how did you get here?"

Wang Pi originally led only 20 people on the top to respond, but suddenly nearly a hundred people escaped, and you said what you said.

Why was it attacked by man-eating rats, all the people inside died, and it was said that some people were hiding in the stone chamber in the tomb, waiting for rescue.

Hearing the bad news, Wang Pi inquired carefully and found something unusual. It turned out that those rats stopped when they passed by the snake's corpse, so these people escaped alive.

The group of rats stopped suddenly, so it must be something they were afraid of. After thinking about it, Wang Pi decided to go to the tomb to find out, just to find out if anyone was alive.

Just in case, Wang Pi asked people to prepare all the fire oil, went down the tomb passage, walked all the way, and found that the rats really stopped somewhere, and dared not take half a step forward.

Wang Pi ordered the kerosene to be thrown, intending to defeat the swarm of rats and rescue those who might survive in the stone room. Then, the scene just now happened.

After Cao De heard everything, he fell into deep thought and said, "It seems that the natural enemy of rats should be the giant snake. That is to say, as long as there is the breath of a giant snake, they will not dare to attack."

Wang Pi thought for a while and replied: "It is possible, the general means to continue to move forward?"

Cao De had the intention of retreating, and Wang Pi knew it well. He thought that saving him would definitely give up at this point, so he thought he would continue to move forward.

Cao De shook his head and said, "No, I originally intended to quit early in the morning, but now that so many people have been lost, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't get anything?"

Wang Pi looked at Cao De and said, "But General, how are we going to deal with those rats? Could it be that we use kerosene, but there's not much left, what should we do if we run out?"

Fire oil is a consumable. Once it is used up, those waiting for them must be slaughtered. It is impossible for Cao De not to have thought of this.

Chapter 550 Continue

Cao De said calmly: "Isn't there still that snake head and this dead snake? I can try it later."

Ok?

What Cao De meant was that he wanted to use this dead snake to fight against the swarm of rats. There was a risk involved, and if his guess was wrong, it would be a dead end.

But they have been doing business under the tomb for many years. They have long developed a gambler mentality. Unless it is a game that must be lost, they will give it a try.

But there is one thing that Wang Pi can't understand. Why Cao De must continue to investigate. Is there any secret in it, saying that it is to make up for the loss of personnel, and he is afraid that he will not be able to explain the reason to Cao Cao. This is obviously not true.

But in front of so many people, Wang Pi didn't ask, but said calmly: "Okay, then give it a try."

Seeing that Wang Pi agreed, Cao De asked people to go up, fetched the snake head and handed it to him, divided the snake body and distributed it to everyone, asking them to prepare some.

Everything was ready, Wang Pi, as the new passage to the tomb, naturally took over the task of clearing the road, while Cao De waited for news in the rear.

Everyone had snakes on their bodies, and it was as expected. The rats didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, and retreated slowly as they moved forward.

When Wang Pi came to the scene of the accident, he saw a stone door wide open, and all the rats blocked the door, watching them eagerly.

And that giant rat, who seemed to have not recovered from its injuries, was lying on a stone platform like a giant rat, looking fiercely at it with its eyes.

Wang Peng waved people forward, opened the bloody corpse stuck on the stone door, and closed the upper stone door to prevent the rats from attacking suddenly.
