Chapter 1761 Smuggling Was Attacked
As long as you find the right way, it is not difficult to cross the border illegally, but the process is difficult.
While I was thinking this, I jumped over a puddle of dirty water, and my toes happened to step on the corpse of a recently dead mouse. With a snap, a dozen fat and tender maggots were crushed into soy milk.
Frowning slightly, I stepped on a dirty bag and rubbed it hard for a few times. After roughly cleaning the internal organs of the maggots, I took a deep breath, smelled the unique rotten smell in the sewer, stared into the distance, and couldn't help but He murmured: "Why are there so many dead rats?"
Under the faint light from the sewer, wherever you look, there are incomplete or complete rat corpses everywhere.
There were still some who were about to die, constantly twitching their little claws and making painful squeaking sounds. Their originally pitch-black eyes had completely lost their unique brilliance, as if covered with a faint air of death.
Although I don't like rats, I don't hate them either. After all, they are all living beings and should enjoy the right to live together.
But when I saw rat corpses everywhere I looked, I still felt a sense of extreme disgust.
No, not just disgust, but disgust.
"No wonder no one wants to clean the sewers," I murmured in disgust, "No matter how much money I pay, no one is willing to do this kind of work."
Not only are dead rats disgusting, they also carry a variety of bacteria that can become airborne and infect humans.
In the history of the blue planet, mankind has experienced several crises that were almost destroyed by plague.
However, this disease seems to have never been rampant in Zephyr Continent. On the one hand, the doctors here are strong, and on the other hand, the priests can use purification magic to purify most of the toxins in the patient's body, so that the patient is protected from the toxins.
With such assurance, it’s no wonder that Zephyr Continent has never experienced any infectious disease ravaging the world.
But even so, the cleaning that needs to be done still needs to be done. If it is not cleaned and dredged for a long time, garbage and rat carcasses pile up, and it will definitely be very troublesome when it comes time to clean it up!
While secretly cursing the cleaning staff in Airui City for being lazy, I was very happy at the same time. If they had been very diligent, I might have had to find another way to sneak across the country.
I carefully walked forward in the spacious and dark sewer, and at the same time, I turned the Odachi sword on my back sideways to prevent the tip of the scabbard from crushing maggots and getting stained with yellow-white mucus.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a soft sound not far away.
"Is it a mouse?" I listened carefully and guessed at the same time.
"If it's a mouse, it must be quite big."
I chuckled and talked to myself. While speaking, the strong murderous intention had already condensed in my hands.
After walking a few steps, I saw a huge gray creature in a dark corner.
The thing was about the size of a pig, and its fur reflected a faint light in the dim light.
It looks very much like a mouse, but its size is beyond the scope of a mouse. By the way, there are many creatures in the Zephyr Continent that are beyond the scope of common sense. Take the King of the Forest as an example. Whose bear can grow to more than four meters tall, so it is said , it would not be surprising even if a mouse the size of a piglet actually appeared.
With the mentality of doing less than doing more, I tried to avoid the big rat so as not to disturb it.
Unexpectedly, the rat suddenly raised its head and stared at me blankly with a pair of reddish eyes.
I held my breath and stood motionless, intending to reduce the rat's hostility towards me in this state.
If the creature in front of me was an ordinary little beast, I would probably have deceived it, but unfortunately, it was not.
With a squeaking sound, the big rat jumped up high on the spot, opened its bloody mouth, and bit my throat.
The white teeth are flashing with a faint cold light, which makes people feel creepy at first glance, let alone facing its attack!
But I am a battle-hardened man. No matter how sharp his mouth is and how sharp his teeth are, he is still a living creature. Without the support of external force, he should not cause any substantial damage to my metal gauntlet.
At least, that's what I think.
This monster, which looked like a big-toothed mouse, bit the gauntlet I handed to me without hesitation. I heard a sharp crunching sound of metal friction, and the fingers wrapped in the gauntlet felt a sense of pressure!
"Fuck you!" I yelled, taking a step forward, swinging my arms, and threw the big rat out.
With a muffled sound, the big rat hit the wall and let out a painful groan.
I raised my right hand, looked at the dim light, and saw a scene that shocked me - the thick and hard metal gauntlet was actually dented by the mouse's front teeth!
This is just the power of one bite. If it bites you several times in a row, this pair of gauntlets will be useless!
Thinking of this, I became fierce and ferocious. I drew my sword out of its sheath and aimed at the big rat that came for the second time, regardless of whether it was buried or not.
The Odachi sword filled with murderous intent cut the rat in two without any hindrance.
After landing, the big mouse stared at his reddish eyes, kicked his legs a few times, and then stopped moving.
The smelly black-red blood splashed all over the floor, and the steaming internal organs also flowed all over the floor as the blood overflowed.
Soon, several small mice of normal size crawled out from the rat carcasses everywhere, and ran towards the big rat's carcass. They squeaked excitedly while gnawing and licking the big rat's internal organs desperately. Lick its blood.
One of the little mice crawled very slowly, probably because it was too weak.
When it passed the huge mouth of the big mouse, it stopped, moved its ears, raised a pair of small paws, and stroked its beard. In this flash of lightning, the upper half of the big mouse's body actually jumped up again, He bit the weak little mouse in one bite and then started chewing it.
The little mouse only let out a scream and then became silent again.
The big mouse chewed for a long time before finally stopping.
Blood dripped from the corners of its mouth. It was the blood of the little mouse.
After a few minutes, another mouse ran up to its mouth, sniffed the fresh blood, and then began to lick it.
This time, the big mouse didn't move again. It was definitely dead, but it didn't disappear out of thin air like the monster in the dungeon.
Shining the caretaker's hand in the weak light again, I murmured subconsciously: "You can bite even metal like this, what a powerful mouth."
This set of teeth alone is probably comparable to the pair of claws of the Ghost-Faced Spider.
"It's not easy for the sewer cleaners here. They have to face swarms of rat carcasses and garbage and excrement everywhere. At the same time, they have to be wary of attacks by big rats as big as piglets." I shook my head and said to myself. Said: "It is said that life is easy, but life is not easy. I think it is difficult for the cleaning staff working here to ensure their survival."
