Chapter 62 Rat Swarm
Chapter 62 Rat Swarm
Click!
A rustling sound came from deep within the ruins.
The sound grew closer and louder, like thousands of claws crawling on the ground.
In Ye Feng's telepathic perception, countless life forms were rapidly approaching.
From underground, from the ruins, from the depths of the mine tunnels.
Densely packed, countless.
Then, he saw it.
Black tides surged from every crevice of the ruins.
That's not a tide, it's rats.
Mutant rat.
Densely packed, covering the sky and the earth.
Some are as big as calves, while others are as big as cats and dogs.
Their eyes were blood red, gleaming eerily in the darkness.
Their teeth are as sharp as knives, and foul-smelling saliva drips from the corners of their mouths.
Thousands upon thousands.
No, it's tens of thousands.
Ye Feng's telepathic senses were frantically alarming, and the numbers were jumping around incessantly.
Ten thousand.
fifty thousand.
It's still increasing.
Deep within the rat swarm, there emanated an exceptionally powerful aura.
That aura exuded a terrifying pressure of the late fifth-tier level, much stronger than the black-scaled giant lizard that Ye Feng had killed before.
A fifth-tier peak mutated rat king!?
Ye Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.
He finally understood.
Why did Li Mo dare to set up his stronghold at Fortress No. 1?
He did not control the rats.
He controlled the Rat King.
Although rat colonies are large, they are social creatures with a strict social structure.
The lowest level are worker rats, the middle level are warrior rats, the upper level are rat kings, and the top level are rat emperors.
Controlling the Rat King is equivalent to controlling the entire rat population.
Li Mo, however, somehow managed to do it.
"How are they?" Li Mo's voice was full of pride. "My pets are doing pretty well, aren't they?"
He opened his arms as if embracing the entire swarm of rats.
"Three hundred thousand mutated rats! More than a dozen fourth-tier rat kings! And one fifth-tier peak rat emperor!"
"Ye Feng, do you think you can leave here alive?"
Ye Feng looked around.
The black swarm of rats had completely surrounded him, layer upon layer, leaving no room for escape.
They didn't rush to attack, but instead squatted there quietly, their blood-red eyes fixed on Ye Feng, as if waiting for orders.
Ye Feng took a deep breath.
Then he smiled.
"A rat infestation?"
He looked at Li Mo, a smile playing on his lips.
These are all kill points!
Li Mo is truly my good brother!
"Li Mo, do you know what? I love killing beast tides the most."
Ye Feng reached for his waist and grasped the hilt of the Radiant Gold Battle Blade.
Silently recite in your heart
"Because these are all my kill points."
The battle erupted in an instant.
Ye Feng's figure disappeared from the spot.
【instant】.
In 0.3 seconds, he traversed a distance of fifty meters and appeared in the most densely populated area of the rat swarm.
The gleaming gold battle sword was drawn.
With a flash of light, more than a dozen mutated rats were cut in half at the waist.
[Kill a Tier 0 Mutant Rat and gain 0.3 Kill Points]
[Kill a Tier 1 Mutant Rat and gain 3 Kill Points]
[Kill a Tier 0 Mutant Rat and gain 0.2 Kill Points]
The system notification sounded in his mind, but Ye Feng didn't have time to listen to it.
His figure weaved through the swarm of rats, and with each swing of his blade, more than a dozen mutated rats fell.
But no matter how fast his knife is, it's just a drop in the ocean when facing a number of ten thousand.
However, Ye Feng has more than just a knife.
He has telekinetic weapons.
Thirty-six S-grade telekinetic needles flew out of his pocket, like thirty-six silver birds, flitting and dancing among the rats.
The telekinetic needles are as thin as a hair, almost invisible to the naked eye, but each one contains terrifying penetrating power.
They passed through the heads of one mutated rat and out of another, drawing silver arcs in the air and taking away one life after another.
[Kill a Tier 0 Mutant Rat and gain 0.4 Kill Points]
[Kill a Tier 1 Mutant Rat and gain 2 Kill Points]
[Kill a Tier 2 Mutant Rat and gain 20 Kill Points]
[Kill a Tier 0 Mutant Rat and gain 0.1 Kill Points]
The kill count started fluctuating wildly.
Although each mutated rat contributes very few kill points—only a fraction of a point for a zero-tier rat, a few points for a first-tier rat, and slightly more for a second-tier rat—the sheer number of them makes up for it.
Ye Feng's kill points balance is rising rapidly.
3000.
5000.
8000.
10000.
Watching the kill count keep rising!
Accompanied by continuous system notification sounds!
Ye Feng became increasingly enthusiastic in his killing spree.
But he didn't show it.
Originally, it was enhanced by the [Bloodlust] attribute.
Ye Feng remained completely calm and composed.
There was no sign of qi and blood depletion.
He has to act.
He was afraid that Li Mo would realize that the rat swarm posed no threat to him at all!
He was afraid that Li Mo would run away with the rats!
This is definitely a chance to rack up kill points and recapture Fortress One!
You absolutely can't miss this!!!
Wang Dehou, also known as Fatty Wang, was so frightened by the scene that he collapsed to the ground.
"It's over...it's really over this time..."
He saw the mountain-like Li Mo and the sea-like swarm of rats, and in despair, he buried his face in his hands and wept bitterly.
This is something a fourth-tier Ye Feng simply cannot handle!
Even a sixth-tier expert might not be able to escape unscathed!
Li Mo stood in the center of the square, watching Ye Feng fight among the rats, and seeing the traitor Wang Pangzi crying with his head in his hands, a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"You fat bastard, you dare betray me? You deserve it!"
"But since you brought Ye Feng here, I'll give you a proper burial later!"
"Ye Feng, is that all you've got?"
He sneered loudly, "Aren't you the great hero of Jiangcheng? Aren't you supposed to be able to kill a fifth-tier beast with a single strike? How come you can't even finish killing these rats?"
Ye Feng did not answer.
His movements began to slow down.
Originally, one strike could kill more than a dozen, but now one strike can only kill seven or eight.
Originally, thirty-six telekinetic needles flew around at the same time, but now only about twenty are still in operation.
His breathing became rapid, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.
Li Mo saw this and was overjoyed.
"He can't hold on much longer!"
He loudly commanded the Rat King, "Let them intensify their attack! Charge in with all of them!"
The Rat King let out a sharp screech.
The rats immediately became even more frantic.
More mutated rats surged out from underground, rushing towards Ye Feng one after another.
Ye Feng's situation appears to be even more dangerous.
His swordsmanship began to show flaws, and several mutated rats almost bit his leg.
His telekinetic needles also slowed down, and some were even knocked away by the mutated rats.
"Hahahaha!" Li Mo burst into laughter. "Ye Feng, you're nothing special after all!"
He thought Ye Feng was about to die, so he ordered the Rat King to bring over more mutated rats.
He intends to use sheer numbers to wear Ye Feng down.
Ye Feng silently calculated in his mind.
He has already killed nearly 30,000 mutated rats.
The kill points have increased to 15,000.
But his expression became more pained, and his movements became more sluggish, as if he was really about to give up.
"Give it your all," Ye Feng thought to himself. "Li Mo, give it your all."
As expected, Li Mo fell for it.
"Rat King! Bring all the war rats over here!"
Li Mo shouted, "Today, I'm going to make Ye Feng die here!"
The Rat King hesitated for a moment.
Should we move all the War Rats over there?
That's a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand war rats!
But he dared not disobey Li Mo's orders.
It let out a long howl that pierced through the entire underground mine tunnel.
Then, the earth began to tremble.
More mutated rats emerged from underground.
Not just a few or dozens, but hundreds or thousands poured out.
They poured out from the mine entrances, from the cracks in the city walls, from beneath the ruins, like a black torrent, overwhelming and sweeping everything away.
