"Squeak, squeak, squeak... squeak, squeak, squeak..."
In the darkness, rats dashed toward Ji Wei from the ground. Just hearing the sound was enough to guess—there were quite a few of them, at least a dozen or twenty.
Ji Wei's nerves instantly went taut. She leaned against the wall, her eyes fixated on those gray-black little creatures without blinking.
Suddenly, a rat leaped at her face with incredible speed. Luckily, Ji Wei reacted quickly, raising her hand to violently fling the rat away.
Before she could catch her breath, another rat lunged forward, its sharp teeth sinking into her arm.
Ji Wei let out a piercing scream, raised her arm, and slammed the rat heavily against the wall.
The rat screeched miserably before it fell from her arm.
The bite on her arm was deep, and blood was flowing out incessantly.
The scent of blood filled the wine cellar in an instant, mixing with the aroma of wine and creating an oddly tempting smell.
