Chapter 709: Dead rat

"Hiccup..." A long, full hiccup shocked all the people, and all around looked at this vulgar woman with disgust. Anyhow, this is also a high-end hotel and high-end venue, how can such a bad thing be done.
Bing Zhixie glanced at the large and small plates in front of him, and asked, "How is it, are you full?"
The female mercenary patted her chest, revealing an expression of infinite contentment: "Ah, it's so enjoyable, I haven't eaten so full for a long time."
Bing Zhixie took out twenty gold coins from his pocket and put them on the table and said, "Hey, this is the commission I paid you in advance. You can pay for it."
"Hey boss, you are not so stingy, right?" The female mercenary said: "After you have said that you have invited me to dinner, you actually want me to pay the bill. Are you still a man?"
Bing Zhixie opened his hand and said, "I didn't agree. Besides, it has nothing to do with whether I am a man or not. We are just an employer and an employment relationship."
The female mercenary said: "Then you have to eat too, do you want me to pay for it?"
"I didn't." Bing Zhixie pointed to the plate standing on the table and said: "I didn't touch these things at all. You ate them all. I ate and drank this. This cup of fruit is free in the restaurant, not counting money."
The female mercenary stared at Bing Zhixie and said: "Okay, with you, I have been a mercenary for so long and I have never seen you such a stingy boss." She grabbed the money on the table and called the waiter to checkout.
Out of the outskirts of the city, walked all the way to the southwest with the female mercenaries. Bing Zhixie always traveled lightly and simply, only carrying a small bag with some necessary food in it. The female mercenary was lighter, except for the sword, and only herself.
After walking for a while, the female mercenary suddenly said: "Boss, why don't you ask my name?"
"It's not important." Bing Zhixie was looking at the surrounding situation.
The female mercenary showed an unhappy expression: "What do you mean? Do you look down on me?"
"Huh?" Bing Zhixie just said casually, and quickly waved: "No, no."
The female mercenary said: "Then what did you mean by saying'this is not important'?"
Bing Zhixie sighed softly, "Well, what's your name?"
"I won't tell you!" The female mercenary scowled and looked very angry.
Bingzhixie was speechless.
After walking for a while, the female mercenary suddenly said: "Listen well, my name is Leslie, Dina Leslie."
Bing Zhixie said, "Didn't you say not to tell me?"
Leslie suddenly became angry, and pulled out the big sword on her back and pointed at Bing Xiaoxie, "You talk back to me again, I cut you!"
A drop of sweat shed on Bing Zhixie's forehead.
Leslie backhanded the sword back in: "I haven't seen anyone you hate so much."
Bing Zhixie patted the leaves that were swept by the sword wind: "You should lead the way. There are so many forks here, so don't go wrong."
After walking for more than half an hour, Bing Zhixie and the others entered a dense forest. The weeds and shrubs in this dense forest are very deep, and there is no way to find the way within a few minutes after walking along the path. It’s already summer, and it’s at the junction of tropical and subtropical. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the jungle. Sometimes when you walk over a big dandelion leaf, a large group of mosquitoes will startled under the dandelion. It's as big as a slap, it will make a mosquito bite, and it will be poisoned without getting sick.
In addition, the thorns in the forest are also very dense, thick and hard, and they make chuckles on the clothes. Bing Zhixie has always been in the habit of wearing magic robes, but it’s not a big problem, but Leslie dressed quite coolly, wearing only a pair of long leather gloves and a short leather corset on the upper body, and only the lower body. Wearing a short leather skirt and long leather boots, a thorn that was bigger than a coin scratched her body, and it was a mouth.
Seeing the intertwined roots and thorns in front, Bing Zhixie said, "Did we go the wrong way? There is simply no way ahead."
Leslie swung a sword to cut through the thorns, looked around and said, "Yes, just walk here. You have to go through such a forest to get to the North Wang Po, no matter which way you go. Don't you Nonsense, just follow me, I am the guide."
Bing Zhixie had to continue to follow her forward. The trees in the dense forest became denser and denser. In the end, they became so dense that it was just a wall of trees. Several times, the entangled roots of the trees were entangled to death, so I had to find the gaps between the roots to drill through. Bing Zhixie thought that such a path is indeed not easy to follow. No wonder the mercenaries who come here are looking for guides. Without a familiar person to lead the way, it is easy to get lost in it.
The trees are too dense, and the woods are impervious to the wind. Leslie was tired and sweating profusely from the thorns and thorns along the way: "Come... rest a while." She pulled the leather corset in front of her chest, fanned the wind, and took it again. I drank saliva from the water bag.
Leslie was a very good woman, quite tall, with long, slightly tousled brown-gray hair, but not very long, green eyes. Probably because of a martial arts profession like a knight, her skin and muscles all over her body are tight and not slack at all. Without the fat of a rich girl, it seems that her body has a sense of strength and power. Very beautiful.
Lesli was fanning the wind, and suddenly found Bing Zhixie staring at her. Looking down, she saw that she was pulling the bra a little too much, and the plump breast under her clothes were exposed. She covered her chest with her hands, her face cold: "What are you looking at?"
Bing Zhixie said: "You think too much, I didn't look there at all."
Leslie said: "You didn't look at me, how do you know where I was talking?"
Bing Zhixie had to stop talking.
"Let's go." Leslie stood up holding the sword and swung the sword towards the thorns in front.
"Be careful!"
I don't know when a big piebald snake climbed in the gap between the vines in front. Leslie didn't see it when she swung the sword. The big piebald snake bit her with its venomous teeth. She reacted quickly, with a change in her hand, the horizontal cut became an upward pick, and the snake's head was cut off with a light stroke.
The variegated snake's body was still turning its head between the trees. Leslie stepped on the snake's head and said, "Huh, it's not that easy to hurt me."
After walking for more than two hours, the trees in the dense forest began to loosen, and the two stopped in a relatively loose place. Leslie looked closely at the surrounding situation and pointed in a direction and said, "Go here."
Bing Zhixie said, "I think I should go this way."
Leslie stuck in her waist and said, "Did you not see? There are fewer trees here and it is easier to walk. Are you a guide or I am a guide."
Bing Zhixie ignored her, and stepped onto the air to fly high into the sky. Looking around, there were dense forests all around, and they all looked the same, and they couldn't see their heads at a glance.
Leslie watched him fall, a little angry: "So you are a magician."
"what's happenin?"
Leslie was a little angry and said: "I was just as hot as that, and you won't give me some wind to cool down?"
Bing Zhixie said, "You didn't ask for it."
Leslie said: "You didn't say that you are a magician, how did I know?"
Bing Zhixie said: "You didn't ask me if I was a magician. Besides, didn't you see that I was wearing a magic robe?"
"You..." Leslie flicked her sword angrily: "Go here!"
Leslie said that the road here is easier to walk, but in fact, it’s not easy to go anywhere. In this dense forest, everything is the same. There are snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere, and the cluttered grass is as high as half a person. Happening.
Bing Zhixie is a little worried. The vegetation here is too dense, and it is a hot and humid zone. The plants grow very fast. The road cut today may not be seen the next day. He is worried whether the guide Lesli can really remember .
As she walked, Leslie's feet suddenly disappeared. Fortunately, Bing Xiaoxie moved fast, grabbed her, and pulled her up. Poke aside the grass, and it turned out that there were slits on the ground, but they were covered by grass and shrubs, and they couldn't be seen.
Leslie was obviously frightened. She lay on the edge of the grass and looked down at the ground. If it fell and got stuck in it, ordinary people would really have to survive. She couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, it almost scared me to death."
Bing Zhixie looked at her and said, "Hey, do you know where the road is?"
"I'm a guide, of course I know." Leslie replied without hesitation: "Just follow me, don't talk so much nonsense." She stopped after a few steps: "Wait, listen. Has it arrived?"
Bing Zhixie had already been listening.
Leslie's face changed: "Quickly go."
"Ok?"
"What are you doing in a daze, run back quickly, it's a mouse!" Leslie ran past him and pulled him up.
The movement in the woods is getting louder and louder, and you can hear the noise from far away, as if a large group of things are flying. In a short while, Bing Zhixie saw the black mice crushed behind him, there were tens of thousands of them. These mice are all yellow-skinned and black-haired, each of them is the size of a bathtub, and all of them have fist-sized eyes, and there are red lights in their eyes.
Bing Zhixie's face also changed a little: "It's a dead rat."
"As long as you know."
The dead rodents live in relatively shady Conglin areas, both in the north and the south. This dense forest is very dense, and sunlight does not come in, just in line with the environment in which they live and breed. Under normal circumstances, dead rodents feed on carrion, but they will also eat live animals if they are hungry. If a person is bitten by a dead plague rat, it is very dangerous. Just like its name, they all carry the dead plague on their body. If the bitten person cannot be sent to the doctor in time, it will be in an hour or two. The whole body turned black, and his body burned like charcoal to death. And this state is not magic, but a kind of disease. Just like the leprosy on the armadillo monster, ordinary magic can't cure it. Basically, it can only be sent to the doctor and treated with medicine, otherwise ten injuries and nine deaths.
Moreover, the dead rat is not only a severe disease, it is a very powerful beast in itself, even if it is one-on-one against the Leopard, it may not lose. There is an unwritten rule in the mercenary world, that is, no beasts such as dead plague rats are allowed to be used as guardians. If anyone violates this rule, they will be hunted down by other mercenaries.
