In the dark sewers, Qin Chuan and his group of five cautiously pushed forward, exploring the unknown ahead with the help of their headlamps.
After walking about a dozen ters, Qi Fei once again used his Skill to detect and his expression slightly changed, "There are five or six monster rats ahead, they all seem to be corpses."
So many monster rat corpses?
The mbers of Qin Chuan's group exchanged glances before quickening their pace and soon saw several monster rats lying on the ground, their bodies as mutilated as the first rat corpse they found.
"They all died not long ago." Qi Fei prodded them one by one with a small stick, "Similar to the first monster rat."
The expressions of everyone gradually beca more serious.
Although monster rats might have the habit of cannibalizing their own kind when starving, just like ordinary rats, the situation at hand seed sowhat unusual.
Firstly, if it was indeed out of hunger that they were consuming the corpses, the rat pack wouldn't have only eaten parts of them and left other parts behind.
Secondly, and most importantly, like the previous monster rat, the corpses had their eyes bulging out as if almost popping, their death states were quite ghastly.
They seed more like they were bitten to death by their own kind while still alive.
"Buzz—" Qi Fei once again placed his hand on the wall, and his expression grew grim, "Ahead, more than a dozen."
Without saying it clearly, the others already understood what Qi Fei ant.
More and more monster rat corpses!
For them, whose assessnt task was to exterminate, the more rat deaths should be good news.
But if these monster rats were killed and eaten by their own kind, then that was another story.
"Keep moving deeper, I'll switch places with Su He," Qin Chuan's expression was solemn as he spoke decisively.
The increasing number of monster rat corpses proved one thing: the problem was definitely up ahead!
"Okay." Su He didn't waste words and quickly switched places with Qin Chuan, taking up the rear guard.
anwhile, Qin Chuan was only half a body length behind Xiao Pang, continuing their advancent in the sewer side by side.
In the darkness ahead, two faint red glimrs flickered.
Qin Chuan, who sensed it, turned his head imdiately and the headlamp illuminated a grotesque monster rat, baring its sharp teeth. However, it did not pounce but instead turned and ran toward the depths the mont Qin Chuan spotted it.
This was the first live monster rat they had seen since entering the sewer.
"That guy is probably like a sentinel in the rat pack," Qi Fei analyzed imdiately, "It's going back to report. If we follow it, we can find the monster rats' nest."
"Follow it, but be careful," Qin Chuan whispered, "A single monster rat is not that strong, but it can still be dangerous if there are too many."
"Understood!"
Xiao Pang stepped briskly forward. His short and stout figure had significantly improved in physical condition after practicing the Basic Boxing Skill, keeping pace behind the sentinel rat without losing it.
The other four mbers followed closely behind him, rushing out about two hundred ters when suddenly soft "squeaks" started coming continuously from ahead.
Monster rats! And not just a few!
Seeing the sentinel rat suddenly turning into a side tunnel in the sewer, Xiao Pang took the lead and chased after it, and as he stepped into the fork, he shouted loudly.
"Vermin! et your end!"
Even under such pressing circumstances, Qin Chuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Well, it really was a rat's nest.
Seemingly enraged by Xiao Pang's shout, countless shrieking voices erupted in an instant. In the blink of an eye, a horde of demon rats like a tide surged from the split path, pouncing towards Xiao Pang.
"Bring it on!" Xiao Pang, covered in rocks, let out a strange laugh, as an earthy yellow halo surged around his fists and he fiercely swung them down onto the ground.
"BOOM!!!"
Accompanied by a muffled sound, the entire sewer seed to violently tremble at that mont, instantly sweeping the demon rats at the forefront into the air with a blast of wind.
"Go!"
Almost concurrently with Xiao Pang's move, Sun He let out a soft shout.
The water ball already accumulated in her hand instantly flew towards the horde of rats, sparking with countless glimrs in the clear water stream under the headlight, as if hiding twinkling stars.
Diamond dust, now pretty much standard equipnt for Transcendents with the Water Attribute.
The water ball hit a demon rat in the blink of an eye and then exploded fiercely, unleashing water bombs the size of knuckles in every direction that, with the aid of diamond dust, could easily penetrate the ordinary demon rats' mutated bodies.
Accompanied by screams, countless demon rats bled out on the spot.
A few that slipped through the net quickly changed direction, rushing towards Sun He with eyes full of insane killing intent, but before they could get close, a stone knife with a pitch-black blade whistled through the air, instantly cutting their bodies in half.
Qi Fei nodded to Sun He, holding a stone knife reinforced with silicon nitride, and pushed forward.
His sword skills were quite raw, probably only learned after his Extraordinary Descent, but with enhanced physical abilities and the boosted blade, his performance was comndable.
Tang Qiuyi, who had already taken a position on the opposite side of the sewer, silently observed the actions of the five and nodded slightly, swiftly jotting down notes in his book.
Zhang Yung, protected in the center by other teammates, was a bit bewildered at first, not snapping to reality until her comrades had already engaged the demon rats in battle.
Purifying the air was just her Passive Skill, but the Active Skill she had prepared specifically for this real combat assessnt would allow her to play a role in the fight as well.
With a delicate shout, Zhang Yung raised her hand and pointed towards the densest area of demon rats.
A whirlwind appeared out of thin air, unexpectedly lifting dozens of demon rats into the sky.
Water balls tily appeared and, upon exploding, took their lives.
Sun He, on a successful hit, gave Zhang Yung a thumbs up.
Qin Chuan, who hadn't acted imdiately, but stayed on the sidelines, ready to allow his teammates more opportunity to shine, suddenly had his pupils constrict at this mont.
The instant Zhang Yung blew away the demon rats, he briefly saw a blood-curdling, blood-red gleam flash behind the barrier of rats and then disappear.
There indeed was a problem with these demon rats!
Recalling the corpses of the demon rats they had seen on the way here, Qin Chuan hesitated no longer.
A massive water stream like a mighty dragon rose from the sewage behind, sweeping up all of the diamond dust from the box Qin Chuan opened as it passed by him, and then ferociously lunged towards where the blood light had flashed.
The tons of water almost filled the entire passageway, the sudden burst forcefully flinging the demon rat horde against the wall at the fork's entrance, dying on impact without even a chance to scream, the scene too gory to witness.
The other four teammates abruptly stopped their attack, gaping at Qin Chuan in stunned silence.
But soon, their attention was entirely captured by another scene.
An unscathed giant rat, more than a ter long without its tail, stood up from beside the wall. Its blood-red eyes were filled with ruthless and bloodthirsty light, and the terrifying aura it exuded had already surpassed the level 10 category, comparable to a Growth Rank Spiritual Beast.
This was an Advanced demon rat king!
