Chapter 102: Dog Catching Mouse
The Rat King capture plan is nothing more than luring rats out of the cave.
It is divided into two steps. The first step is to kill rats. Only by eliminating the rats driven by the Rat King can the Rat King be forced to do it himself; the second step is to capture. Once the Rat King is lured out, he must be captured with lightning speed.
"The most critical point is to capture the Rat King. It is difficult for us humans to move in the cave. I believe that the Rat King will not rush over and charge us head-on."
This plan was discussed by everyone and then handed over to Charles for improvement and summary.
It must be said that Charles has a lot of problems, but his mind is indeed flexible and meticulous, and he is competent for the position of dog-headed military advisor.
He said passionately: "So, I think the vanguard officer who takes down the Rat King should not be you or me, but..."
As he said, he pointed his hand at Kevin, the golden and silver wolfhound: "Kevin! Only Kevin can capture the Rat King without fail!"
"Woof!" Kevin seemed to understand, and the dog barked, appearing quite confident.
"Sir Eric, do you have anything to add?" At the end, Charles showed respect to the Magic Beast Knight again.
Eric said in a muffled voice: "No."
Charles looked at Russell, who nodded at him lightly. There was nothing to add about this plan.
As a lord, he did not need to rely on resourcefulness to establish his authority. In fact, the blood of the fluorescent mushroom family flowing in his body was the most authoritative symbol.
He was happy to see his subordinates actively exert their subjective initiative.
"Then, everyone." After receiving Russell's nod of affirmation, Charles clenched his fist, waved it heavily, and said in high spirits, "This plan is called... the dog catching rat plan, and the first step of rat extermination will be implemented immediately!"
With the start of the plan, almost all the serfs with extraordinary skills in the manor were summoned to the cave village.
The lord provided meals and rewards, so the serfs naturally enthusiastically eliminated rats.
In the afternoon.
The cats of this manor and several neighboring manors were borrowed and then released into the cave village.
The cat and mouse war was about to break out.
In addition, the rats were driven by the Rat King in the dark, and they didn't know how to adapt. They kept attacking the Wolf Head Courtyard, resulting in heavy casualties.
The first stage of rat extermination had an immediate effect.
When night fell, Russell and others camped in the Wolf Head Courtyard, guarding the magic potion field all night and further eliminating the remaining rats.
Sizzle.
On the bonfire, a row of rat meat was pierced on a stick, sizzling.
Ram, the personal servant, skillfully brushed oil on the rat meat, sprinkled salt on it, and then poured a layer of crushed dill. When the rat meat was thoroughly cooked and the seasoning was flavored, he handed the rat meat to Russell.
"Huff." Russell blew the hot air, then resisted the nausea and took a bite.
After killing so many rats, they must exchange food with the serfs in the manor to provide for the serfs in the cave village. In order to make the serfs accustomed to rat meat, Russell, as the lord, had to take the lead in putting on a show.
However, unexpectedly, it tasted good after taking a bite.
"It tastes a bit like chicken, and a bit like ham or beef jerky." Russell chewed for a while and commented.
It must be said that because it tasted good, the rat meat didn't look so disgusting.
So Russell quickly finished eating several rats on the stick, and even after eating, he was still a little unsatisfied, and asked the male servant Ram to pass him another string of rat meat.
After eating and drinking.
After chatting with Charles and others for a while, Russell lay down in his sleeping bag and fell asleep soon.
"Ga!"
The little dream dragon, who hadn't seen each other for three days, finally appeared again with the advent of the dark dream, still a big-headed cartoon image, without any changes.
"I miss you, ice cream."
"Ga."
"And you, Jiandie."
Jiandie was silent, just circling around Russell to express his joy.
"We have a heavy task tonight. Ice cream, sword butterfly, let's go first!" Russell has been waiting for this moment.
Ever since he guessed that there was a suspected fantasy beast Rat King behind the rat disaster, he thought that he could use the dark dream to search in various secret passages to find the Rat King's lair, and then quietly arrange Kevin to keep a close eye on it.
As soon as the Rat King shows his head, he will be captured immediately.
This is also a supplement to the dog catching rat plan, increasing the success rate of capturing the Rat King.
"Ga!" Xiao Menglong agreed immediately, carrying Russell to quickly search the dark dream, confirming that there was no abnormality in the dark dream range, and then breaking through the dark dream and searching the surrounding secret passages in the form of "dream clone".
It happened that in the dark dream, Russell and Xiao Menglong were very small, not much bigger than a cat, and could drill into any passage.
Just like that, they searched and searched.
After searching countless secret passages, they finally saw the light of magic light blooming in front of one of the secret passages.
"Get closer!" Russell ordered.
"Ga."
A man, a dragon, and a butterfly quickly approached the light, and then saw the outline of the light, which was indeed the image of a big rat.
However, compared with the light on Kevin, the golden and silver wolfhound, the light on this big rat was not only dimmer, but also flickering, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and it seemed not so stable.
At this time, the big rat was nestling in the nest, and seemed a little restless, turning around restlessly.
"This... doesn't seem to be a fantasy beast. Could it be some kind of breeding beast?" Russell gestured to Xiao Menglong to circle around the big rat and carefully observed the magic light on the big rat. "No, it's much brighter than the light of the black pig. This is not a fantasy beast, but it's close to it!"
Suddenly.
He thought of this possibility: "No, no, if this rat king is already a fantasy beast, there is no need to attack the wolf head patio and steal my blood tooth fungus potion... But it still wants to steal the blood tooth fungus potion, unless... it urgently needs this batch of potion!"
As for why it urgently needs potion, it is obvious that the rat king must be at the critical point of breaking through the fantasy beast.
Without the potion to provide nutrition, it is very likely that it will not be able to break through.
"I understand!"
Russell smiled happily: "Xue Gao, this big rat in front of you wants to steal my potion to help it evolve, haha!"
"Huh?" Xue Gao squinted at the rat king with contempt. It looked down on this kind of stuff.
After confirming the existence of the Rat King, Russell did not delay any longer and rode Little Dream Dragon back to the dark dreamland, and wrote down this passage, as well as how many other passages were connected to it, and how many holes there were for escape.
After doing all this, Little Dream Dragon was really exhausted, and said goodbye with a weak "Ga", and then plunged into the darkness.
Disappeared.
The dark dream also dissipated immediately, and consciousness fell into chaos.
When he woke up the next day, Russell rinsed his mouth, took a shower, and began to look for the passage leading to the Rat King's lair according to his memory of last night.
The passage was not difficult to find, and it was not narrow.
Because the size of the Rat King was much larger than that of an ordinary big rat, at least it could catch up with the size of a hound, of course, it was definitely much smaller than Kevin, the golden and silver wolfhound.
"That's it." Russell squatted down and hugged Kevin's neck, "Just keep your eyes on this place, the Rat King will definitely come out from here."
Although Kevin had opened his spiritual wisdom, his intelligence was limited after all. When he heard Russell's order, he didn't think about why, but just responded with a "Woof!"
