Chapter 169 Battle against the Rat King, a bold idea
It is difficult for a mouse to reach the sky.
The narrow rat passage only allowed people to crawl forward on their stomachs. If Zhou Chun was alone, it might take him several hours just to climb to the rat's nest.
Fortunately, he is not alone.
He turned the "Golden Cauldron Xuanguang" into a layer of light film to protect himself, then put a rope around the silver lightning python's white body and let it drag him forward.
Although this looks extremely unsightly, it travels very fast.
The difficult rat path does not pose any obstacles to snakes, and they will only move slower than rats on their own.
Zhou Chun also experienced the feeling of rapid progress underground.
He was like a man being dragged by a war horse, holding on to the rope with both hands and being dragged quickly through the twists and turns of the underground rat track. During the process, his body swayed and hit the hard cave wall countless times.
Fortunately, he was protected by the "Golden Cauldron Xuanguang", so he could hardly feel the impact of this kind of impact.
Only a hundred feet below ground, Zhou Chun's consciousness had already discovered the vigilant gold-eating rat and heard the piercing scream of warning.
"What a smart and cautious beast, he actually knows how to set up multiple warnings!"
Zhou Chun secretly marveled in his heart and frowned slightly at the caution of the mutated gold-eating rat king.
Now that their whereabouts have been exposed at such a distance, I'm afraid that before they get to the rat nest, the mutated gold-eating rat king will take action.
It was exactly what he expected.
Less than half a quarter of an hour after the warning rat sounds, Zhou Chun heard a large number of rat screams.
Soon, a large number of gold-eating rats emerged from the branch roads connected to the rat road where they were.
Their eyes were red and they rushed towards the Silver Lightning Python and Zhou Chun, not caring at all about the powerful natural enemy aura emanating from the Silver Lightning Python.
This is the influence of the second-level mutant Gold-Eating Rat King.
The king of every weak group has the influence to make the group ignore any enemies and sacrifice their lives for themselves at critical moments.
These gold-eating rats, now affected by the mutated gold-eating rat king, dare to charge forward not only when facing a second-level silver lightning python, but also when facing a dragon or a golden elixir stage monk.
Because now there is no thought of fear in their minds, only the thought of attacking the enemy to defend the Rat King and his offspring.
But being in the narrow rat tunnel, not only was it difficult for Zhou Chun to deploy his magical weapon, but even the silver lightning python Bai Bai had trouble deploying his body.
This is one of the main reasons why the Zhao family monks did not dare to come down to kill rats before.
Fortunately, although Silver Lightning Python Baibai cannot use its body, the hard dragon scales on its body make it immune to the bites of most gold-eating rats.
Although gold-eating rats can swallow many kinds of spiritual gold, this is because they can secrete saliva that softens spiritual gold.
But this kind of saliva has no effect on the dragon scales of the Silver Lightning Python.
Moreover, the silver lightning python can also be electrified, which can paralyze all gold-eating rats that come into contact with it. This paralysis can also be transmitted through physical contact between gold-eating rats. One person can infect two gold-eating rats.
Although Zhou Chun was not as relaxed as the Silver Lightning Python, he was not particularly afraid of the Gold-Eating Rat's attack.
Because his "Golden Cauldron Xuanguang" can not only be used for defense at this time, but also for counterattack.
Any gold-eating rat that dares to pounce on him will be hit by a golden light needle.
Under the lock of divine consciousness, each golden light needle can destroy a gold-eating rat.
In this way, Bai Bai, the Silver Lightning Thunder Python, under the siege of many gold-eating rats, still dragged Zhou Chun forward and did not give the gold-eating rats a chance to really block their master and servant.
squeak--
Suddenly, Zhou Chun seemed to hear a particularly long rat's roar. The sound was very powerful, no worse than a tiger's roar.
Immediately afterwards, his consciousness noticed an extremely sharp golden light blade slashing towards the silver lightning python in vain.
The silver lightning python Baibai has good combat experience and his perception is very strong, so he naturally discovered the existence of the golden light blade in advance.
It opened its mouth wide, and a bolt of silver-white lightning flew out of its mouth, hitting the golden light blade directly.
After the two spells clashed, they were evenly matched, and Bai Bai did not gain any advantage.
This surprised Zhou Chun secretly, feeling that the strength of this mutated gold-eating rat king was somewhat beyond expectation.
And this blow seemed to calm the heart of the mutated gold-eating rat king, making it feel that the enemy's strength was not beyond the limit that it could handle, and there was no need to run away immediately.
So along with its rapid screams, more and more gold-eating rats joined the attack queue.
"What a beast, do you want to use the lives of your men to consume our mana?"
Zhou Chun instantly understood the plan of the Mutated Gold-eating Rat King, and then sneered.
He is not afraid of this kind of war of attrition.
Because he dares to absorb external spiritual energy to refine and replenish his mana during the battle.
Moreover, he also carries more than a dozen [Yuan Yuan Pills] on him, so the speed of restoring mana will not be much slower.
After marching like this for more than an hour, withstanding the attacks of countless gold-eating rats, the silver lightning python Baibai finally dragged Zhou Chun to the rat nest located two to three hundred feet underground.
I saw that this rat nest was like a hornet's nest with many layers, and each layer had many stone chambers. There were so many rat holes that Zhou Chun felt dizzy.
At the bottom is a hollowed-out underground cave hall, which seems to be the place where the rats usually gather for meetings. It is very spacious.
If you count the many rat passages connecting this underground cave hall, Zhou Chun feels that there will be no problem if tens of thousands of gold-eating rats gather here.
At this time, because the mutated gold-eating rat king issued a summons, many gold-eating rats that were out looking for food rushed back.
Therefore, when the silver lightning python dragged Zhou Chun into the underground cave hall in vain, there were already thousands of gold-eating rats gathered here.
But until this moment, the mutated gold-eating rat king was still hiding in the rat nest and did not appear.
Zhizhizhi——
The noisy rat noises were heard.
Like an army that had been waiting for a long time, when the silver lightning python dragged Zhou Chun into the underground cave hall, thousands of gold-eating rats rushed towards their master and servant, like a wave.
Submerge them.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun hurriedly ordered the Silver Lightning Python to open fire freely. At the same time, he quickly used the black gourd weapon that he had originally obtained from Lingzhou bandit cultivator Wei Tong.
Rumble!
Thunder and lightning roared loudly, and Baibai, the silver lightning thunder python, who had received the order to fire freely, also let go of his arms and legs to bombard indiscriminately.
Silver-white lightning spheres were spit out by it one after another, and bombarded away at the incoming tide of rats.
The originally dark underground cave hall suddenly became as bright as day.
The smell of meat scorched by lightning instantly covered up the extremely smelly smell of rat droppings in this place.
But there are too many golden rats!
The silver lightning python bombed several times in vain. It seemed to be extremely powerful, but it only killed less than 10% of them.
The ones who survived quickly jumped in front of it and Zhou Chun.
Fortunately, Zhou Chun had already activated the gourd weapon at this time, releasing black poisonous smoke.
This poisonous smoke is not particularly toxic in nature, it is the kind that attacks slowly.
However, the cultivation level of gold-eating rats is too low, and the poisonous smoke will have a great impact on them when inhaled.
In an instant, many people fell to the ground and foamed at the sight.
Squeak!
The mutated gold-eating rat king in the dark hurriedly ordered a retreat, allowing the rat tide to leave the area shrouded in black smoke.
At this time, Zhou Chun found the location of the mutated Gold-Eating Rat King through his cry.
So with a thought in his mind, he immediately pointed out the place for the Silver Lightning Python and asked it to hunt rats alone.
But as soon as Bai Bai made a move, the mutated gold-eating rat king seemed to know its plan, and instantly screamed and commanded the rats to intercept and pounce on Bai Bai.
This time, there were even some first-order middle-grade rat demons and first-order high-grade rat demons emerging from the rat swarm.
They used various innate spells to attack Bai Bai fiercely, trying to keep Bai Bai behind.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately used the golden spike weapon to kill these rat demons.
In the face of the unstoppable second-level low-grade magic weapon, even if those rat demons hide behind other rat demons, they will just be pierced through the heart and die together.
At this time, Bai Bai was also covered with thunder and lightning, electrocuting the gold-eating rats hanging on his body and biting him. He rushed through the underground cave hall with sparks and lightning, and penetrated into the place leading to the mutated gold-eating rat king.
The Rat Way.
After entering the narrow rat passage, there are far fewer gold-eating rats that can still attack Bai Bai.
It swam in the rat passage, followed the guidance of Zhou Chun's consciousness, and headed straight for the location of the mutated gold-eating rat king.
But the mutated gold-eating rat king shifted its position again at this time, moving deeper into the rat nest.
"This cunning rat!"
Zhou Chun cursed secretly in his heart and could only let the Silver Lightning Python continue to chase in vain.
As for him, he can only use the black poisonous smoke to protect himself from being drowned by the rat tide.
But after a while, Zhou Chun's expression changed.
Because he suddenly discovered that the mutated gold-eating rat king was rushing towards him.
"Does this guy also want to capture the thief first and capture the king first?"
Zhou Chun was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but sneered.
If that were the case, it would have saved him a lot of trouble.
He raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, then took the second-level high-grade magic weapon "Feilong Duo" into his hands.
Soon, the mutated gold-eating rat king appeared in the underground cave hall.
It was a golden giant rat that was a bit larger than Zhou Chun. Its body looked extremely slender, not counting its tail, it was nearly seven feet tall.
At this moment, as soon as this golden giant rat appeared in the underground cave hall, it opened its mouth and spit out a golden light blade and shot towards Zhou Chun.
At the same time, its body did not stop at all, and rushed straight towards Zhou Chun inside the smoke, as if it was not afraid of the poison of the black smoke at all.
Of course Zhou Chun would not get used to it.
I saw that he didn't intercept the golden light blade, he just flicked his hand, and the "Flying Dragon Snatcher" in his hand flew out and directly took the head of the golden giant rat that was rushing towards him.
The flying claws broke through the air, and the golden giant rat seemed to realize how powerful it was, and hurriedly turned in a spiral to avoid the blow.
But before it could feel lucky, the red-gold flying claws that had failed had already swung around and grabbed it again.
Seeing this situation, the giant golden rat hurriedly burrowed on the spot, and instantly transformed into a golden light and penetrated the ground.
But the red gold flying claws also followed the ground and immediately penetrated several feet into the ground to grab its rear buttocks, and the claw edge sank deeply into its body.
Being hit like this, its escape technique was instantly broken, and its body was suddenly stuck in the ground.
Zhizhi——
In the panic, the golden giant rat hurriedly screamed and called for the rats to protect him.
Immediately, the group of gold-eating rats that had been stopped by it from entering the black smoke area suddenly surged towards Zhou Chun again regardless of everything.
Under such a fierce and fearless attack, they actually broke through the poisonous smoke protection with their lives and came to Zhou Chun.
But Zhou Chun knew that he must not let go at this time, otherwise the injured and frightened mutated gold-eating rat king would definitely escape from the rat nest, making it even more difficult to hunt down in the future.
In that case, even if he kills all the other gold-eating rats, the mission will still be considered a failure.
So while he was activating the "Jin Cauldron Xuan Guang" to resist the bite attacks of those gold-eating rats, he was activating the "Feilong Duo" to tightly grasp the body of the mutated gold-eating rat king, and not give it the chance to use escape techniques to escape again.
.
After persisting like this for a while, the Silver Lightning Python Baibai finally returned to the underground cave hall.
At this moment, it was also very angry that the mutated gold-eating rat king was playing tricks on itself.
He immediately vented his anger on those gold-eating rats.
I saw lightning magic balls spitting out from its mouth, falling into the crowd of rats and exploding with a bang.
The raging current electrocuted the gold-eating rats into mummies. The clearing effect was not very good.
"Don't worry about me for nothing. Go kill the mutated gold-eating rat king first."
Zhou Chun stopped his cathartic behavior in time and asked him to catch the thief first and capture the king first.
After receiving his order, Bai Bai immediately withdrew his magical powers and burrowed down the hole he made with "Feilong Duo".
But underground, when the mutated gold-eating rat king saw that it was difficult to use his escape technique, he directly raised his claws to dig a hole in an attempt to escape.
But even though it can dig holes very quickly, it can't be faster than Bai Bai who drills holes directly.
Bai Bai soon locked onto the golden giant rat digging in front of him, spitting out thunder and lightning and launched an attack.
squeak--
A scream filled with fear came from the mouth of the golden giant rat, and golden light burst out from its body, forming a shield to resist lightning attacks.
However, under the condition of attribute restraint, even if the shield temporarily blocked the lightning attack, a trace of electricity still fell on it through the shield, causing the hair on its body to stand on end.
After a few rounds of continuous attack and defense, it could no longer withstand the in vain attack and was stunned alive.
At this time, the group of gold-eating rats did not know that the mutated gold-eating rat king had been captured. They were still attacking Zhou Chun without fear of life and death, and more and more gold-eating rats came back from outside to join the battle.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but look at him and came up with a bold idea, even though his mana had been greatly consumed.
You must know the rewards offered by the Zhao family before, but a gold-eating rat corpse can be exchanged for three spiritual coins!
And now the number of dead gold-eating rats in this underground cave hall alone is almost two thousand!
If he doesn't kill the mutated gold-eating rat king now, and uses his eagerness to be the savior of the rats to massacre those ordinary gold-eating rats, wouldn't it be equivalent to spending money on a bug?
