Chapter 16

Although the zombie rat had been killed, the students' expressions were not good.

Wu Xiaoyan helped Zhou Yi treat his wound with an antidote.

Xiao Jinsheng squatted in front of the zombie rat's corpse and carefully observed it. Jiang Wen and Bai Xiaowen stood beside Xiao Jinsheng.

"This plague rat is much stronger than ordinary plague rats, especially its agility and defense. These two aspects are almost doubled." Xiao Jinsheng frowned. "The most important thing is its violent attack style. It doesn't seem like a normal plague rat at all."

In the end, they were able to kill it with the help of the rusty iron sword in Xiao Jinsheng's hand.

The rusty iron sword was a psionic equipment. It looked very low-class, but in terms of lethality, it was much stronger than a weapon made of stainless steel. It could cut a zombie rat with "rigid skin" in half.

Xiao Jinsheng turned over the zombie rat's head. Under the illumination of the searchlight, he could clearly see that the zombie rat's eyes were white, and the hairless skin around its mouth had a sickly white luster.

"It must have been affected by something and mutated." Bai Xiaowen coughed and said.

"Double mutation?" Xiao Jinsheng frowned. He stood up and looked into the dark depths of the plague rat's lair.

"If the lair is full of double mutated monsters, we can't go any deeper."

The fat on Xiao Jinsheng's face trembled slightly. He said seriously, "I will report the situation here to the school and ask them to send an awakened person to deal with it."

Zhou Yi bandaged his wound and said unhappily, "That can't be, right? That rat isn't that strong. I was ambushed by it this time, so I don't know its background. If we encounter another one, we can definitely kill it. "

Bai Xiaowen sneered.

Xiao Jinsheng shook his head and said, "Even if you can kill one one, what's the point? There are at least a few hundred plague rats in this plague rat lair, and most of the time, they appear in groups. If more than three of them appear, our group will definitely suffer casualties. "

Zhou Yi shut his mouth and didn't say anything. He just glared at Bai Xiaowen, feeling humiliated by being mocked.

"Teacher, let's go back. Only one day of the week of actual combat training has passed. We can still train in other areas. "Bai Xiaowen didn't care about Zhou Yi at all.

"Okay."

The five of them came in high spirits and returned in disappointment. They went back the way they came.

When they reached the entrance of the cave, Jiang Wen, who was at the front, suddenly exclaimed, "Why is there light?"

They went forward to look, and their hearts skipping a beat. The entrance to the cave entrance was covered in a hazy milky white halo, which looked very strange in the dark.

Zhou Yi tried to take two steps forward and his expression changed. "Teacher Xiao, there's no way to pass through here!"

"How is this possible?" The expression on Xiao Jinsheng's fat face changed abruptly as he quickly stepped forward.

The hazy white light was like an invisible barrier, blocking the entrance of the cave. No matter how hard they tried it, they couldn't go's...

"What's this situation?" .........

"It's a type of enchantment spell."

. "Xiao Jinsheng exhaled and said slowly," Someone cast a barrier to block the entrance. We can't get out before the barrier's psionic power dissipates. "

"Who? Why would they do this? "Jiang Wen asked in fear.

"I don't know, but I'm afraid the other party doesn't have good intentions. They're very strong!" Xiao Jinsheng said, "To be able to cast a spell, they must be at the awakened level. We can't deal with them."

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Yi cried, "Ask for help from the school, Teacher Xiao! We can't die here. "

"I'll send a distress signal now. However, even if the awakened ones sent by the school leave immediately, it will take some time for them to arrive. During this time, everyone should hide and turn off the searchlights. Don't attract the enemy's attention. "

Xiao Jinsheng directly classified the person who cast the barrier as an enemy. He took the four students and walked in the dark towards the depths of the plague rats' cave.

Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong. He didn't think that an enemy with the strength of an awakened would target them.

When he thought of the zombie rats' insight information, Bai Xiaowen thought of a possibility.

"Teacher Xiao, I think … … the other party shouldn't be coming for us."

Bai Xiaowen took two steps forward and came to Xiao Jinsheng's side. "If the enemy is coming for us, they wouldn't have to waste so much effort. There will be plenty of opportunities along the way."

Xiao Jinsheng frowned. "If they're not coming for us, then why would they come to this godforsaken buffer zone cave?"

"I'm guessing it has something to do with the abnormal changes in the plague rats' cave." Bai Xiaowen spoke quickly and clearly. "Why would the plague rats undergo such a big change? If it's a treasure that can make all the plague rats in the cave mutate, then it must be something extraordinary. It would make even the awakened ones jealous. Also, don't you think there's something wrong with the stone blocking the entrance? It looks more like someone did it, not the plague rats. "

"You mean to say that an awakened one discovered the abnormal situation here and came to investigate?" Xiao Jinsheng frowned. "But why would he seal the entrance as well?"

"When the other party saw the stone block being moved away and saw the footprints at the entrance, he must have guessed that we've entered the cave first and haven't left yet. In order to prevent us from obtaining the treasure and taking it away, he sealed the cave. "

Bai Xiaowen's analysis was reasonable. Xiao Jinsheng also felt that there was something wrong with the stone blocking the entrance.

"So, what should we do?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.

"Since they're not coming for us, we should go back to the cave entrance and wait for help," Wu Xiaoyan whispered.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "We should do as Teacher Xiao said. First, we should hide and try not to get discovered. According to Teacher Xiao, the other party has the strength of an awakened one. It would be very easy for them to kill the five of us. I can't rule out the possibility that after obtaining the treasure, they might kill us in order to silence us … … "

"Hmph, after all your analysis, you're just hiding. It's no different from what Teacher Xiao said," Zhou Yi said disdainfully.

"Alright, Zhou Yi. Bai Xiaowen's analysis at least gives us some assurance. We won't be so panicked."

Xiao Jinsheng calmed down and thought for a while. "Now, we can't run around like headless flies. Let's find a secluded place to hide first to avoid bumping into that person … … It's best if we can live in peace. "

The five of them moved forward quietly and chose a remote and narrow path at the fork in the cave.

After walking for a hundred meters and making two turns, their eyes suddenly widened and they entered a basement.

The basement was ten meters square and was quite spacious. After arriving here, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yi cursed in a low voice. "These damn rats are really good at digging holes. What's the use of digging such a big basement?"

Bai Xiaowen turned on the searchlight and carefully observed the basement.

"What are you doing? Turn off the light! "Zhou Yi growled.
