After discussing the strategy, this ti acting as the bait is Nirvana.
Chu Chen chose Nirvana because of its talent "The More You Fight, the Braver You Get" and its Beast Taming Armor.
While stacking passives, it also has a strong survival ability. Chu Chen has a premonition that the rest of the journey may not be as easy as it is now.
This ti, going to attract the rat swarm will surely lead to a crazy retaliation. If the Earth Rock Rat or Iron Armor Giant Lizard were to act as bait, they might be severely injured or even face death.
Before Nirvana left, Chu Chen also bestowed it with soul skills "Stone Skin" and "Light Body".
Nirvana moved swiftly without concealing its figure and charged straight ahead.
Such a commotion naturally caught the attention of the rat swarm.
The Mouse King, upon seeing this uninvited guest Nirvana, imdiately let out an angry roar. Even though its intelligence is not high, it can now see that it has been tricked and its subordinates must have been killed.
Thinking of this, the Mouse King charged directly at Nirvana.
Seeing this, Nirvana’s expression didn’t change at all. It didn’t flee but instead shot wooden cones towards the Mouse King.
The Mouse King didn’t expect Nirvana to be so bold and was montarily caught off guard.
By the ti it snapped back to reality, the wooden cone was already in front of it, and instinctively it dodged to the side but was still a bit late.
The wooden cone pierced its side, directly nailing into its long tail.
The Mouse King’s tail got pinned, and it instinctively wanted to stop, but the inertia of its body continued to carry it forward, tearing off its tail in the process.
The intense pain from the tail made the Mouse King let out a scream, and the rat swarm, hearing the distress call, rushed in.
Seeing this, Nirvana dared not stay and imdiately turned and dashed towards the ambush circle.
The enraged Mouse King led the rat swarm closely behind.
The Mouse King was very fast, closing in on Nirvana within a few breaths.
It flickered beside Nirvana, its sharp claws aiming directly at Nirvana’s insect legs.
Nirvana didn’t intend to stop but wouldn’t let itself be attacked either.
It hurriedly circulated its Star Force, covering its insect legs with a silver layer.
The claws hit the insect legs, producing a tallic clashing sound.
The Mouse King was montarily stunned, as even a casual strike from it, at the Peak of War General Level, could heavily damage a War General Eighth Rank Star Beast.
While it was dazed, Nirvana had already dashed several feet away.
Through practice, Nirvana had learned how to efficiently use Beast Taming Armor. Covering the whole body is too coarse and consus too much Star Force.
By covering only certain areas of the body with Beast Taming Armor, it can enhance its defense and reduce Star Force consumption.
The Mouse King let out an angry roar, chasing after Nirvana again.
Monts later, Chu Chen sensed through the contract that Nirvana was getting closer and quickly gave instructions.
"It’s coming, everyone get ready."
Wang Lu and others nodded upon hearing this, each commanding their Guardian Beasts to prepare skills.
As the sound of splashing water echoed, Nirvana dashed past the corner, with a fat rat clinging to its back.
The group’s expressions changed slightly at the sight, and they were about to make a move.
"Don’t mind it, focus on the rat swarm."
Hearing this, the group collected themselves, no longer paying attention to Nirvana.
The group’s ambush did not escape the Mouse King’s eyes, and it leapt off Nirvana’s back, letting out a sharp shriek towards the rat swarm behind it.
But its warning ca a bit too late; half of the rat swarm had already charged forward, only to be greeted by a bombardnt of skills.
With the first wave of attacks, half the rat swarm was instantly wiped out.
Seeing this, the Mouse King let out an angry howl, then attempted to attack Chu Chen and the others.
But its path was imdiately blocked by Nirvana.
New and old grievances maxed out the Mouse King’s Anger Value, its sharp claws and teeth continuously striking out at Nirvana.
Nirvana showed no intent of dodging and opted for a strategy of injury for injury.
anwhile, the remaining Long-tailed Water Jet Rats did not flee but fought against Lei Yao and the others, as they dared not flee under the Mouse King’s oppression.
The battle ended in a matter of minutes, with the rat swarm completely annihilated. On Chu Chen’s side, only Nirvana was injured, but with Limb Regeneration not only did it heal, but it also grew stronger by a rank.
Chu Chen directed the Earth Rock Rat to continue scouting ahead while they followed leisurely, giving their Guardian Beasts enough ti to recover.
A quarter of an hour later, the Earth Rock Rat returned.
This ti, it encountered a new Star Beast.
It waved its short claws, letting out a terrified "squeak, squeak".
Skinny’s expression grew serious seeing this reaction.
Having lived closely with the Earth Rock Rat, he could tell through its actions and expressions when sothing was wrong.
The Earth Rock Rat being this terrified ant it had likely encountered its natural enemy.
Rats have many predators, such as certain birds, cats, and snakes.
But the only natural enemy likely to appear in the sewers would be snakes.
Upon communicating through the contract, Skinny confird his suspicion.
Ahead, several giant pythons appeared, their realms roughly at or above the Seventh Rank War General Level.
The sewers housed many Long-tailed Water Jet Rats, so encountering giant pythons was not unexpected.
With the strength of Wang Lu and the others, dealing with these pythons would be challenging, but retreating imdiately wasn’t an option.
Most City Guardsn had gone to defend the city, and even if they retreated now, without support, leaving these pythons would pose a potential threat.
If they entered the city during a crucial ti of defense, they could cause huge damage and even affect the overall battle situation.
It’s not an exaggeration; the families of the City Guards live in the city, and if their relatives are in life-threatening danger, how can they focus on defending the city?
After so thought, Chu Chen said solemnly, "Continue forward."
Upon hearing this, no one retreated. Instead, they nodded firmly.
About a quarter-hour later, the group finally saw those giant pythons.
There were six giant pythons, covered with earth-yellow scale armor, asuring about four lengths and as thick as barrels, their lantern-like eyes flickering with a cold gleam.
Not daring to be careless, Chu Chen directly summoned the Slaughter Atlas to check the information on these pythons.
