Chapter 153: Magic Continent Mole Rat Nest
“Earth Rock, Earth Staircase!”
The rocks on the ground instantly rose, forming steps that rapidly ascended. Lu Min Feng, with Xiao Yi Fei, quickly ran down, then immediately put the flying eagle into a card.
Looking at the dense swarm of flying mice in the air, Xiao Yi Fei’s scalp tingled: “These, mice can fly!”
Lu Min Feng couldn’t help but shiver. If he hadn’t been cultivating his mental power recently and had become accustomed to attaching his mental power to his supernatural abilities when using them, he wouldn’t have discovered the flying mice’s approach so quickly.
Moreover, these mice could conceal their bodies, similar to his invisibility ability!
“This mole rat nest is probably going to be difficult to obtain.”
Hearing Lu Min Feng’s words, Xiao Yi Fei asked: “Then what do we do now? The sun is almost setting.”
Lu Min Feng then looked up in the direction of the sun. He hadn’t expected that the seemingly short distance on the map would be so far. The flying eagle’s speed was not slow, yet they had been flying for several hours.
From leaving the small town, to finding the elf, and now to searching for the mole rat nest, they hadn’t accomplished much of their actual tasks, with all their time spent on the road.
Lu Min Feng: “Let’s go down and take a look first. If it doesn’t work, I’ll use invisibility to hide you inside when the cold attack comes.”
“Alright, we should be able to hold on for a few hours, right?”
“We can only try.”
It was actually very difficult, but if there was no other way, they could only grit their teeth and persevere.
Lu Min Feng led Xiao Yi Fei downwards towards the location indicated on the map.
The mole rat nest was underground, and it was dark all the way. However, neither of them dared to use any lighting equipment, fearing they would disturb the mole rats.
Suddenly, a squeaking sound came from underground not far away. Lu Min Feng immediately used his supernatural ability to move towards that location with Xiao Yi Fei.
The soil layer shifted bit by bit, carrying Lu Min Feng and Xiao Yi Fei into the mole rat nest.
But they kept squeaking incessantly. Lu Min Feng and Xiao Yi Fei looked at each other, completely unable to understand what these large rats were saying.
Xiao Yi Fei sent a message to Lu Min Feng: 【Why don’t we ask Sister Sang Sang if she has any ideas? 】
【Okay, I’ll sync the information here with her. 】
Sang Chu was selling things when she suddenly received the message, and her eyes instantly darkened.
The elf said she could take them to the elf nest to avoid the cold attack, but why did Lu Min Feng and the others choose another place, and such an uncontrollable one at that.
She took out the map when no one was around. The mole rat nest was not far from the elf nest, but it was the closest place to the elf nest.
Seeing that Sang Chu hadn’t replied, another message came from Lu Min Feng: 【A Chu? 】
Sang Chu: 【Turn on the real-time connection, and I’ll have the rabbit translate for you. 】
【Okay. 】
After opening the real-time connection, Sang Chu could clearly see how dire Lu Min Feng and the others’ situation was. The mole rat nest was filled with a dense mass of rats, some with wings, some resembling snakes, and even some with multiple hands and heads. In short, all sorts of bizarrely shaped rats were huddled together.
There was still about an hour left until sunset, meaning there wasn’t much time before the cold attack arrived. Finding another nest was clearly not the best course of action.
Sang Chu: 【Min Feng, how long did it take you to get from the small town to the mole rat nest, and did anything happen in between? 】
Lu Min Feng and Xiao Yi Fei supplemented each other’s accounts to tell the whole story. The more Sang Chu listened, the more her expression soured. She rested her hand on the wooden basket of fruit, tapping it rhythmically, her favorite posture when thinking.
The sound was soft, and the rhythmic tapping aided her thoughts.
Sang Chu: 【Min Feng, what are your thoughts? 】
【Are you talking about the elf matter? 】
【Mm. 】
Lu Min Feng: 【Before we return to the apocalypse, it’s best not to use it if we can avoid it. What the elf experienced has probably greatly changed her temperament. 】
Hearing this, Sang Chu fell silent. She had sought out the elf hoping she would take good care of the things in the jade bracelet space. The discarded ginseng she bought in the Demon Realm had come alive and was even growing quite well. However, the optical computer robot couldn’t always help her manage things in the jade bracelet space, and it didn’t understand many things.
Therefore, in her opinion, the wood spirit was the most suitable. But she hadn’t expected this elf to be of the combat type, full of revenge, and to have deceived her!
After thinking for a long time, Sang Chu replied: 【Forget it, let’s not worry about her for now. If she really wants revenge, we’ll set her free after we leave, but not yet. You don’t have to worry about her. The spell I taught you can lock her card gate, so she won’t be able to come out as she pleases. You guys… 】
After hesitating for a long time, Sang Chu said: 【Min Feng, have you considered trying to endure the cold attack in the hovercar? 】
Lu Min Feng nodded: 【I’ve thought about this, but if it fails, the hovercar will probably be unusable. 】
Speaking of this, Sang Chu privately messaged Lu Min Feng: 【Then let’s try using a slave. If it works, we can use the hovercar to avoid danger during our journey if we encounter a cold attack. 】
Lu Min Feng glanced at Xiao Yi Fei beside him and said after a moment of silence: 【Okay, I’ll try to avoid Brother Yi. 】
Sang Chu: 【No need to avoid him. Just say you want to experiment whether the hovercar will be discovered by these mountain spirits and monsters. You can directly throw the slave card in the car. You are the master of the magic card and can control it remotely. The slave cannot escape. Once he reaches the car, you can release him. The hovercar can be controlled by the optical computer. 】
Lu Min Feng: 【Okay, I understand. I’m preparing to release the hovercar. Have Tu You pay attention to the movements of these rats. 】
【Okay. 】
Sang Chu directly handed the optical computer to Tu You, asking him to constantly monitor the rats. If he discovered that they had sensed the hovercar’s presence, he was to inform Lu Min Feng and the others immediately.
Tu You: 【Got it, I’ll complete the mission! 】
Xiao Yi Fei, seeing Lu Min Feng and Sang Chu suddenly fall silent, couldn’t help but nudge him with his elbow: 【What’s wrong? Why aren’t you talking? 】
Lu Min Feng: 【We’re thinking. I’ll release the hovercar later to see if these mole rats can detect it. If they can’t, we might be able to travel by hovercar later. 】
Xiao Yi Fei’s eyes lit up: 【That’s great, hurry, hurry! 】
He loved riding in hovercars; they were comfortable, clean, and he could eat and bathe anytime. Life was incredibly good.
But ever since the population grew, he hadn’t enjoyed such leisurely comfort. Now, knowing that they might be able to use a hovercar for travel, he felt a great sense of hope for the future.
However, unexpectedly, as soon as the hovercar appeared, the mole rats stared alertly in the direction of the hovercar.
Xiao Yi Fei and Lu Min Feng were both shocked. These mole rats’ eyes and ears seemed extremely sensitive. As soon as the hovercar appeared, they had already seen it!
