Ch 4: Golden Finger
Swoosh——
In the narrow tunnel, Mos quickly scurried through according to the guidance in her memory!
Shasha sha——
A few seconds later, several Black Rats also followed Mos’s scent and chased after her relentlessly!
“Huff… huff…”
Mos gasped for breath, glanced back at the approaching Black Rats, and took a deep breath.
She knew she had to shake them off here, and she had to do it quickly!
Otherwise, once the Black Rats outside killed the rats in her Rat Clan, it wouldn’t be so easy for her to escape!
At this time, Mos didn’t realize that her running posture was quietly changing!
More fluid! More relaxed!
【……】
As if a voice sounded in her mind, Mos’s speed actually increased by another level!
But Mos didn’t have time to think about it at this time, she only had two words in her mind: “Escape”!
Vision, smell, hearing… the sense of crisis made Mos’s whole body senses open to the maximum!
【……】
The voice sounded in her mind again, but it was ignored by Mos again!
In the dim environment, a light suddenly appeared in Mos’s eyes!
Various smells became clearer in Mos’s nose!
The cries that were originally inaudible in the distance actually returned to her ears!
Everything around her seemed to be refreshed in Mos’s senses!
“What’s going on?”
Mos muttered to herself in confusion, but she didn’t have time to think about it.
She just assumed it was caused by the explosion of potential, and escaping was the most important thing at the moment!
The roads in the cave were intricate and complex, and Mos needed to find a way to other sewers.
‘According to my memory, I have to turn right at the next cave entrance!’
Mos thought to herself, looking at the fork in the road with two cave entrances on the left and right, just like in her memory!
She didn’t hesitate at all, and scurried into the cave entrance on the right!
Several Black Rats followed closely, but because the cave entrance on the right was very small, some of them couldn’t get in!
Squeak squeak squeak——
The Black Rats that couldn’t get in made anxious noises, but after a few attempts, they didn’t chase after her.
On this side, Mos also began to turn left and right, jumping up and down in the tunnel!
She specifically chose some narrow passages to escape, and shook off several more Black Rats for a while!
While running, Mos couldn’t help but secretly admire the digging ability of her Rat Clan.
Such a complex and long tunnel must have taken more than a day or two to build.
“Huff huff… after a few more turns, I should be able to run out…”
Mos said, gasping for breath, with a bit more light in her eyes!
According to the Little Mouse’s previous memory, the place in this direction is another sewer!
The food in that sewer is far less abundant than in the current sewer, so few rats come here.
“I really have to thank the very good memory I’ve had since I transmigrated.”
Mos said in a low voice while running.
According to the Little Mouse’s memory, she had only walked this road once!
Looking back, there were originally four or five Black Rats, but now there is only one left!
This Black Rat seemed to be very persistent towards Mos, and didn’t stop even though its body was scratched and bleeding because the tunnel was narrow!
“Wow, come on, big brother, do I have a grudge against you?!”
Mos tried to communicate with the Black Rat while running.
“Did I eat your rice? Is it necessary to chase me so relentlessly?”
“Look, you’ve also suffered a lot of injuries. Is it worth it to fight so hard for my two taels of meat!”
The squeaking words were mixed with heavy gasps!
She had already reached her physical limit and was about to be unable to run!
Squeak——!!!
However, what responded to Mos was a sharp cry, without any meaning, only a strong hostility!
There was no trace of reason in the Black Rat’s eyes when it looked at Mos!
Mos also understood that there was no possibility of communication with these rats!
“Damn, these guys must be crazy!”
Mos cursed helplessly and continued to run!
Ahead is a crossroads, running all the way to the left is another sewer!
But after passing that intersection, there is a flat, large tunnel!
There is nothing there, and the width is also very large!
In the current situation, Mos is not sure that she can shake off the Black Rat behind her!
But Mos had never walked straight or turned right, and didn’t know the situation inside!
Choosing to turn left, being caught up and entering the battle is definitely inevitable!
Choosing to turn right or go straight, the consequences are unknown!
Which one should Mos choose?
Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the intersection, Mos was a little troubled.
“Now that things have come to this, turning left is definitely not an option, so which one should I choose, right or front?”
In the blink of an eye, Mos had arrived at the crossroads!
She turned her head and glanced at the approaching Black Rat, and then looked at the cave entrances in front and on the right.
The cave entrance in front is as big as the current one, but the cave entrance on the right is obviously smaller!
One big and one small, definitely choose the small one!
Mos hesitated for a moment, and instantly ran towards the cave entrance on the right!
But just at this moment, a rapid sound of wind flashed past Mos’s ear!
Pain!
Mos felt a sharp pain in her hind leg!
“Ah!”
Mos cried out in pain, and the whole rat fell to the ground.
She turned her head and saw a slender and ferocious wound on her right leg!
The severe pain made Mos feel dizzy, and she felt that her right leg could no longer move.
“No… good, I have to hurry…”
Mos’s remaining meager reason told her that it was not safe now!
Squeak——!
In the next instant, a huge rat head stretched out from outside the cave entrance, and bit Mos, who was on the edge of the cave entrance, again!
“Ahhh——!”
Mos cried out in pain, and her originally dizzy head became clear again.
She felt as if time had slowed down, and she saw everything around her.
Sure enough, the narrow cave entrance on the right was no longer the size that this Black Rat could enter.
The Black Rat’s head was stuck, unable to get out or in!
But the Black Rat had already bitten Mos tightly at this time. If she couldn’t find a way to make the Black Rat let go, everything would be in vain!
“You!”
Knowing that her life was hanging by a thread, Mos’s face couldn’t help but become ferocious, and the bloodiness in her heart also exploded!
Not fighting doesn’t mean Mos is afraid of fighting!
Her fighting consciousness as a human is much stronger than that of a rat!
“Die!”
Knowing that there was no way to avoid it, Mos’s claws went straight to the Black Rat’s eyes!
Poof!
Mos felt as if she had pierced something, and her entire claw went directly into the Black Rat’s eyes!
Squeak squeak squeak——!!!
The Black Rat couldn’t help but let out a shrill howl, and the teeth that were biting Mos tightly also let go!
The Black Rat shook frantically, and Mos was directly thrown out!
She fell to the ground, and a cold voice sounded in her mind again.
【Talent: Golden Finger(activated)】
【Activation effect: Talent Construction and Optimization】
【Talent: Claws→ClawsⅠ】
Finally, Mos heard the voice in her mind clearly!
At this moment, as if guided, she couldn’t help but jump up, and stabbed her claws at the screaming Black Rat again!
An inexplicable force flowed to Mos’s claws, and she swung a natural arc!
Poof!
With another strike, the Black Rat’s other eye was also lost!
This time, Mos’s claws were completely stabbed in, and her entire front paw disappeared on the Black Rat’s head!
Trembling, trembling…
The Black Rat no longer howled, trembled a few times, and then drooped softly.
“Hiss ha——hiss ha——”
Mos pulled out her entire front paw and lay on the ground, gasping for breath!
She ignored the dead Black Rat and crawled deeper with her injured right leg.
Drip! Drip!
In the sewer, the sound of water droplets falling slowly sounded.
The sound passed through the cave entrance and entered Mos’s ears.
Mos curled up in a dark corner and fell asleep again!
