Chapter 38 The Hunt Begins
The two older men forced her to eat more together. Xu Xuehui took a few more bites, and finally frowned and said that she could never eat it anymore.
Ding Longyun had no choice but to take away the remaining fried rice that had already been cold.
Xu Xuehui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark. Ding Longyun found a candle and lit it, becoming the only source of light in this dark room.
"Stay a break, let's go upstairs together later." Ding Longyun took out the steel shovel and a dagger, took out a rag and wiped the steel shovel and dagger for a while, and then he solemnly handed the dagger to Xu Xuehui.
Xu Xuehui approached the dagger, which was much sharper than the kitchen knife she used before.
"I have polished this dagger, it is very sharp. Be careful when you use it and don't hurt yourself." Ding Long Yunlong reminded Xu Xuehui.
Xu Xuehui nodded, nodded softly, then looked at Su Li, feeling that she could not favor one and the other, so she brought the hammer he gave to her.
The three of them took a break for a while, but after all, they were full and were not suitable for strenuous exercise immediately.
Ding Longyun looked at the clock hanging on the wall that had already pointed at seven o'clock, and probably had almost rested, so he blew out the candle on the table and said, "Let's go."
He held the steel shovel in one hand and opened the door with the other.
Xu Xuehui followed him, while Su Li walked at the back with an iron stick.
Then the three of them dragged the corpse of the beast that had been left in the corridor and walked along the stairs toward the roof.
Ding Longyun led the way ahead and climbed the roof along the stairs. Su Li saw many corpses piled up on the vast roof.
Obviously, in the past few days, he has mostly transported the corpses of all the spirit source beasts killed by Ding Longyun to the rooftop. Su Li looked at it and said that there were at least twenty or thirty corpses, most of which were low-level corpses and a few water rat beasts. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a giant water rat beast among them, which is several times larger than the ordinary water rat beast.
Su Li took a look and realized that it must be the Water Rat King, who evolved from the Water Rat Beast, a spirit source beast belonging to the elite type. The "soul-eating" that Ding Longyun has is the special ability obtained by killing the Water Rat King.
"The moon tonight is big and round." Ding Longyun looked up at the sky. Although it was already night, because the moon hanging in the sky was emitting soft moonlight, it was not particularly dark under the night. At least we could see each other's blurry figures clearly.
"It is said that the moon is sixteen on the fifteenth. Today is the seventeenth day, and the moon is not bad either." Su Li also looked up at the sky, and saw Ding Longyun dragging the corpse of a corpse beast with one hand and walking to the top of the building. Suddenly, he used force with his arms and threw the two corpses down.
Su Li poked his head slightly and saw the two corpses falling heavily into the water below, making a "puzzle" sound, splashing water.
Zuli saw four thick ropes hanging down at the edge of the roof. One end of these ropes was fixed to the roof, and the other end was all hanging into the water.
“What do these ropes do?”
"You will know later." Ding Longyun answered while throwing the corpses of the two corpse beasts down.
After hearing this, Su Li did not continue to ask questions. Seeing that Ding Longyun threw down eight corpses one after another, he stopped and said, "If you throw the eight corpses in one breath, you should alarm them. Let's wait for them to come up here."
Zuli said: "You used this method to alarm these monsters and lure them up to kill them?"
"Not bad, but this is not easy to grasp. There are fewer corpses thrown away, the effect is not obvious, and it is not good to throw too much, which can easily attract terrible monsters. This giant water mouse is just. We didn't understand at the time, and threw all the corpses, and ended up attracting this big guy, which almost killed us. I was lucky and took a bargain and killed it, but it was a lucky thing to survive."
Ding Longyun was still scared when he talked about killing the Water Rat King.
Zu Li hushed and didn't say anything. He just looked down silently. He saw eight corpses sinking into the water under the moonlight. Gradually, unusual fluctuations appeared in the water below, and black shadows soon appeared.
"If the corpses were not thrown down, wouldn't they appear?" Su Li asked Ding Longyun in a low voice, thinking that although he had not thrown the corpse into the water two days ago, spiritual source beasts still appeared from time to time. Obviously, whether the spiritual source beasts appeared or whether they would throw the corpse into the water was not absolutely related.
Ding Longyun explained while staring at the movement below: "Of course not. Even if the corpses are not thrown away, they will appear, but their appearance is irregular and full of randomness. This is not good for us and it requires us to be wary of time. Now, throwing the corpses at once can lead them out, allowing them to appear at this time point, which is convenient for us to hunt. Moreover, after this time point appears, the number and number of occurrences at other times will be much smaller."
Listening to Ding Longyun's explanation, Su Li understood and nodded slightly. His method was indeed good. He could use these corpses as bait. When they were fully prepared, they fixed it to a point in time to lure out these spirit source beasts and hunt them in a concentrated manner. After that, the probability of these spirit source beasts appearing will be much lower at other points in time.
Su Li looked at the water below and began to emerge from the swollen and pale faces. With the help of the moonlight, he knew that these corpse beasts were all low-level corpse beasts.
The corpse beast surfaced, reached out and grabbed the hanging rope, and climbed up along the rope.
Su Li took a light breath and realized that the purpose of these four ropes was used to climb up to the top of these corpse beasts.
"Although these zombies have a simple mind, they know how to use ropes to climb up. We just need to stay here to deal with them easily." Ding Longyun held the steel shovel and smiled: "But it's useless to kill these zombies. Let's leave it to the girl Xuehui to let her reach level 2 as soon as possible."
Xu Xuehui was standing beside Su Li, stretching her neck and looking down like him. Her pupils of her eyes contracted slightly, like an eagle-eyed. Looking down, she suddenly spoke: "There is a three-handed one below."
"Three-handed? Do you mean these corpse beasts?" Su Li was slightly stunned. He looked down at the climbing corpse beasts, but he didn't see any corpse beast with one hand.
Xu Xuehui nodded.
These corpse beasts climbed up along the ropes, and their speed was not slow, and soon appeared in front of the three of them.
