Chapter 66 Human-faced Rat
Yu Yueming pressed down his ears.
It’s not that I was scared, but this small scene couldn’t scare him.
However, the mouse's head was not a standard human face, but more like a hairless and air-dried monkey head, but its facial features barely looked like a human.
The distorted and asymmetrical facial features twitched into a weird expression, which made him feel nauseous.
It was probably the Uncanny Valley effect... He thought, and at the same time observing the appearance of the weird mouse, a word quickly flashed through his mind.
And the next moment, one of his teammates gave him the name.
"Human-faced rat."
He turned his head in surprise and happened to see Qiu Tongchen put down the telescope in his hand calmly.
"You know what that is?"
Li Si asked in surprise. Looking at Qiu Tongchen's reaction, he didn't give the other party this name because the mouse had a human face, but was very sure that the other party was called this name.
"See you before." He replied briefly, "A kind of fallen creature usually appears as some powerful mages or servants of mysterious existences. Its combat power is average, but they have the ability to learn spells. If they master powerful spells, they can also be considered a power that cannot be underestimated."
"Spell..." Liu Mengze repeated the word with a serious expression, "What kind of spell do you think they can do?"
"How do I know?" Qiu Tongchen still had a expressionless face, "But our current copy difficulty should not meet enemies who can use spells. Even if we encounter them, they are probably just some small spells that are not very lethal."
Since a special goal has been discovered, the key now is...
"Do you want to fight?" Li Si's question contained a desire to try that a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger. "The human-faced rat was obviously not right. Should we catch it?"
The human-faced rat should be able to speak. If you can catch it, you will definitely ask a lot of information. The question is... If they attack rashly, how will the rat group react?
Yu Yueming looked back in the direction of the rat group. During their conversation, these surging rat groups had approached the farm houses, and there was a faint tendency to surround the houses.
The bluffing roars of the working dogs I had encountered before came from the room, but as the rats approached, the roars gradually turned into low whimpers full of fear.
The mice rushed to the house and climbed up the outside of the wall, quickly covering the surface of the house.
They changed their originally slow movements and quickly shuttled across the walls, covering the house like a thick blanket, leaving only the original windows with a faint light leaking from the gaps between the rats.
At the same time, human curses and cries sounded in the house. Because they were far apart, there were buildings and groups of rats as obstacles, Yu Yueming didn't hear them very clearly. But he could hear the sounds that were still full of energy and did not seem to be hurt.
There is no tendency for rats to climb on the surface of the house to diminish. They do not seem to want to get into the house—although they can do it—just run around the house without stopping.
Yu Yueming observed carefully and found only a few rats drilled into the room through the unsealed gaps in the house. Then, there were sounds of hitting and cursing in the house. It should be the movement of the rat being shot dead by people in the house.
What strange is what these mice want to do?
While he was thinking about the meaning of the mice's actions, the other players - to be precise, only Liu Mengze and Li Si - finally discussed the result and decided to take a risk and attack the human-faced rat.
Liu Mengze raised his gun and aimed at the target; Li Si also imitated her movements; Qiu Tongchen looked not very active, but just picked up the weapon in a decent manner.
Bang!
Gunshots rang out.
However, the moment before the gunshot, the human-faced rat noticed their actions, suddenly fell down and jumped into the group of rats.
After a shot was shot, everyone continued to shoot, but in the night, even with the bonus of night vision goggles and physical fitness, it was not easy to aim at a specific mouse in the group of rats.
More than ten seconds later, the players who lost their target had to put down their guns in depression and admitted the failure of the operation.
However, Yu Yueming, who has keen perception and can also see night vision, has no trace of losing his target.
The rat group was not affected by gunfire at all. Although the bullets did not hit the target, they also hit the mice near the target. However, the surviving mice next to them did not respond, and just quickly filled the blank space left by the dead mice and continued their previous actions.
Distractedly observing the movements of the rat group, Yu Yueming had a plan in his mind.
These mice seem to be less aggressive than expected. Or rather, they are only focusing on their current goals now. Then, it seems feasible to take a risk deeper into the rat group...
He quickly put his front paws on the balcony railing, jumped out, easily landed in the group of rats, and quickly ran towards the direction where the human-faced rats were.
The furry and hot mouse body washed over his limbs like water, leaving a creepy touch. He did not struggle to find a gap to settle down, but increased the strength to land, and directly stepped on the rats under his feet on the ground and rushed towards the target on their bodies!
The human-faced rat wanted to use the same trick to get into the group of rats to avoid it, but Yu Yueming not only stared at it, but also remembered its smell. With only a few dozen meters away, he could not lose his position.
Both sides charged and chased in the group of rats. They found that they could not gain an advantage in speed, and the human-faced rat immediately changed its strategy cunningly, looking for gaps, and quickly turned left and right in the group of rats, trying to get rid of the pursuers behind them.
But Yu Yueming had learned the skills to deal with such prey during his previous hunting process. He was not disturbed by the other party's sudden turn, and quickly followed the target and changed direction, chasing him closely!
After several rapid turn and sprints, Yu Yueming pressed the back of the human-faced rat hard.
A harsh scream came from the twisted face of the human-faced rat, struggling hard to escape. But Yu Yueming didn't give it a chance, and directly bit it, bit its back hard, and picked it up.
Because he planned to get the news from the other party, Yu Yueming did not bit the human-faced rat to death, but this seemed to give the other party hope of escaping. It twisted its body hard, trying to turn around and attack Yu Yueming's face with its teeth and claws.
A low roar rolled in Yu Yueming's throat, and a cold breath rolled in his chest.
As if he noticed something, the human-faced rat suddenly became quiet.
A few seconds later, it suddenly made a sharp and harsh sound from its mouth, as if many voices were mixed together.
"Sir, please forgive me for my actions."
Its sound is very small, and it can only be heard clearly if it gets close.
The weird mouse acted as a beggar and begged for mercy with a respectful attitude.
