Divine Beasts And I Are Fated

It was dark, smelly, covered with all kinds of moss and damp vegetation, and the sound of sewage could be heard in the sewer.

Ji An and Ping An carefully avoided the sewage ditch and walked on the wet passages on both sides of the sewage ditch.

Even so, from time to time, sewage would slip off the stone wall or splash up from the sewer drain, splashing onto Du Ji'an and Little Dong Xiong.

However, before getting ready to go into the sewers to hunt the gray spotted rats.

Ji An is mentally prepared to fight a protracted war in this dirty environment.

And we have done a good job of psychological construction for Ping An in advance.

It was not too unbearable for either of them.

After walking a few hundred meters along the main sewage channel.

There was a fork in the road.

The fork in the road diverts sewage from the main sewage channel.

In addition to the extension of the main sewage channel, there are two narrower ditches, one on the left and one on the right.

One has sewage circulation.

The other one was completely blocked by a gate.

The sewage cannot flow in at all.

Ji An looked at the three roads and chose the direction where the ditch on the far left was blocked by a gate and no sewage flowed through.

Rats also need space to move around.

The passages on both sides of the sewage canal can only accommodate two or three people walking together at most, which is obviously not enough to allow large-scale rat groups to move around.

This kind of ditch, which is five to six meters wide and has no sewage flowing, is undoubtedly very suitable for rats to move and live.

In that direction, the likelihood of encountering a gray-spotted rat is naturally much greater.

Sure enough, it wasn't very far just walking in that direction.

Ji An then saw a plump gray and black figure flash past.

Ji An and Ping An looked at each other.

"Ping'an (Ji An), did you see it too?" The meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

"Chase!!"

After just looking at each other for less than 0.5 seconds, one person and one bear immediately ran and chased each other in perfect harmony.

The speed of one person and one bear was not slow at all, following the black shadow.

It's a pity that the black figure is obviously very familiar with the terrain.

After a few moments, he slipped into a dark hole and disappeared.

The entrance to the cave is located on the stone wall of the underground tunnel.

The cut surface is not smooth, but rather jagged and rough like a dog chewing it.

At first glance, it looked like the rats had dug it out with their claws.

The diameter of the hole is less than one meter, making it difficult for Ji An and Little Dong Xiong to pass through.

After watching for a while outside the cave entrance, I found that there was no sign of the gray rat reappearing in the dark cave entrance.

Ji An could only helplessly lead Ping An in another direction.

The sewer near the west entrance of the city had just been cleaned up by the joint bounty hunters of the 10th Special Forces Team.

The rats suffered heavy casualties.

Even those rats that were lucky enough to escape would probably find ways to hide themselves or even escape from the sewers in the west of the city.

While safe, the number of gray spotted rats has naturally declined sharply.

Ji An, who had been prepared for a long time, never thought that he would be able to hunt a lone gray rat in a short time.

He came down this time with the intention of testing the waters.

Anyway, there is no time limit for accepting the bounty.

Moreover, the conditions for completing the bounty are not too harsh.

The reward offered by the association for cleaning up rat colonies is based on ten gray-spotted rats.

As long as you hunt ten gray spotted rats and collect ten fresh poisonous gland sacs from the gray spotted rats, the mission will be completed.

Of course, if the number exceeds ten, additional benefits will be obtained.

When the number of gray spotted rats cleared exceeds this number, additional bounty money will be attached for each additional rat.

Ji An wandered around the sewers with Ping An.

However, every time he went out for a certain distance, Ji An would always take out the sewer map of the besieged town that he had prepared for comparison.

Of course, the map here is not the map when the sewer system of the besieged town was first built.

Rather, the latest structural map of the sewer was drawn up through the cooperation of the police force, the beast control corps, and the bounty hunters while hunting rats in the sewer.

Due to the presence of rats, the sewers in the besieged town had long since been changed from their original structure, completely turning into a huge rat nest with intricate terrain.

This rat's nest is like a maze. If there is no special map, unless those beast masters have special path-finding skills, it will be difficult not to get lost once they get down.

In this way, Ji An and the little winter bear wandered around the sewer safely for more than half an hour.

But except for the fleeting black shadow of the gray spotted rat that they first encountered, they never encountered any other gray spotted rats.

Not even a ghost was seen.

The sewers had just been cleaned, and it was obvious that not many bounty hunters had visited recently.

"It seems that we can't continue searching like this." Ji An felt helpless.

This situation of not being able to find the target for a long time was almost the opposite of what he had initially expected.

Ji An doesn't want to waste a lot of time here.

For the current Ji An, completing tasks, strengthening practical experience, and training Ping An's skill mastery through actual combat.

It's all secondary.

The main thing, and what must be guaranteed, is to have at least fourteen hours of quality sleep every day.

For Ping An, whose mastery of the "hibernation" skill is already ridiculously high, this is the cornerstone of becoming stronger.

At least before you grow to the limit of your race, you must not sacrifice your strengths to take advantage of your weaknesses.

In desperation, Ji An could only decide to wrong Xiao Dongxiong.

"Ping An, please stop wearing the mask first. Smell it with your nose and see if you can smell the stench of the rat you just met." Ji An looked at Ping An and said.

As he said this, he set an example and took off the mask on his face: "It's okay, be safe, I'll be with you."

Although Ping An was a little reluctant, seeing Ji An take off the mask himself, he could only pull off the mask that was obviously several sizes too small.

"Oh!" The world is not easy, Xiong Xiong sighed.

Then he took a deep breath at the stench around him with a look of pain on his face.

Even if the winter bear family's sense of smell is not as good as that of the wind chasing dog, it is still far stronger than that of ordinary hounds.

It's even easier to distinguish different smells in the air.

Soon, Ping An made a discovery.

It turned its head and growled at Ji An, indicating that it should use what it had discovered.

Then he twisted his round body and ran staggeringly in one direction.

In the sewers with complicated routes extending in all directions, after going around and around, Ping An finally led Ji An to find the target.

This is a sewer with no sewage flowing.

A rather slender rat was gnawing on something in the sewage channel.

Being greedy, it did not notice the uninvited guests Ji An and Ping An, who were slowly approaching.

Ji An stretched out his hand to stop Ping An from rushing over.

While quietly approaching with peace of mind.

After getting close to within twenty or thirty, Ji An said to Ping An, "Ping An, cold air!"

Through Ji An's training these days.

The cold air controlled by Ping An has been able to expand from the longest covering range of one to twenty meters to twenty to thirty meters.

However, the farther the range, the less powerful the cold air is.

But even the cold air at the extreme distance of thirty meters is more than enough to deal with the gray spotted rat that sneaks up on an evolved creature.

The invisible cold air slowly expanded.

Like a thin mist, it came behind the gray spotted rat.

Wait until this gray-spotted rat notices something is wrong.

The body was covered with a thin layer of frost in the blink of an eye.

Although the cold has not completely incapacitated him.

But the speed has become extremely slow.

By the time the gray-spotted rat decided to abandon the half-eaten rotting corpse of an unknown creature in front of him and run for his life, the little winter bear had already pounced on it.

Bang!

An "ice-breaking palm" containing strange power had already hit the head of the gray-spotted rat whose speed had been greatly reduced.

The gray-spotted rat's head exploded like a ripe watermelon.

The blood splashing out of the brain of the gray-spotted rat was frozen by the ice attribute energy and cold air contained in the ice-breaking palm the moment it splashed out.

As for this poor gray-spotted rat, it was natural that he would never die.

"Victory in the first battle." Ji An walked slowly with a smile on his face.
