Chapter 301: Playing with the Rat King

Sun Shoushan sliced the mutated fly in front of him into two, and his lungs burned slightly.

These were the after-effects of an intense fight.

The battle didn’t last for long, but this was the most intense battle he had participated in for the past months.

He was slashing every second, and his blade would be covered in blood each second.

Sun Shoushan knew he couldn’t stop; he would die if he stopped. He had to continue forward. People behind would dig the crystals of the mutated animals that he killed. These would be what they would survive on.

He risked his life daily since his friends and he created a small faction. But today, he knew he had been playing; this was the actual battle.

But he felt calm.

He never expected that he could retreat from the face of millions of monsters. He also didn’t think he could get hundreds of crystals in a morning. He didn’t expect that he could hold a grey blade.

In the past, his friends and he would retreat when they saw over 20 zombies. They would only get a dozen crystals in a day. As for weapons, they used steel rods found in ruins for a few weeks. Grey weapons? That would cost at least three one-star potions. The one in his hands cost only one level-two crystal.

These annoying mutated rats filled one with terror. They would roam dozens at a time. With Sun Shoushan’s numbers and strength, they would always flee when they saw such things.

But today, they were slicing them like there were pieces of paper.

Xiu!

Sun Shoushan was not paying attention, and a mutated spider’s web hit his shoulder. Although it didn’t stick, it took a piece of his flesh, causing blood to flow.

“Flag! Flag!”

People shouted. Sun Shoushan, who was bloodthirsty because he was slightly injured, lifted his head and saw someone waving a colored flag and repeating a motion.

“Left front, stab in!”

A few words appeared in his mind. These were things that everyone had to remember a few hours before the battle.

The human formation sliced in from their front left.

A thousand-man team attacked, and the Rat King had to treat them seriously. He rushed over with his rat army.

Flies, rats, bugs, mosquitoes. These dirty things represented the four problems of peacetime. They weren’t large, so humans didn’t care about them. But now that they mutated, the smallest became fist-sized. Their huge group would become the deepest and most terrifying memories of people.

Usually, it didn’t need any tactics. When having such a vast number, they just needed to charge.

But the Rat King was very annoyed as these humans were like eels and playing catch with them in the faction.

These humans didn’t head deep into the faction. They just moved around the edges. They found a chance to slice into the faction before leaving. They would then move around as a group, hitting and then escaping. Each time, they would open the distance between the Rat King and them.

Moreover, those at the front were best at close combat. Those with ranged weapons like bows and guns would stay at the back. If a flying lifeform got close, these people would attack them.

Humans didn’t give the mutated lifeforms a chance to surround them. Be it from the ground or in the sky.

The Rat King would have chased these survivors if there were just a horde of rats. But there was a huge group of mutated animals that he couldn’t control. Each time they were forced to change directions, they entered an area with the largest number of animals. Once they managed to get free, the humans would be in another direction.

This infuriated the Rat King.

Suddenly, it felt a familiar but foreign strong aura.

It jumped onto a mutated cow who was a little giddy from all its orders. It stood up and looked in a direction.

A human was charging toward it!

Its target was the heavily protected Rat King.

This was a provocation. Rat King sucked in a deep breath before giving out a sharp cry. That voice was telling the human that it would rip it into pieces!

Since evolving to level four, apart from the evil dragon, the Rat King hadn’t been provoked like this before.

Ye Zhongming’s appearance was a part of the plan, and it was a crucial part.

No matter how good at fighting these survivors were and how courageous they were, there were too few of them and too many mutated lifeforms.

If time increased, along with their stamina dropping and more mutated lifeforms got close, if the Rat King joined in, there would be problems.

At this time, someone had to delay this problem so the rest could win.

Ye Zhongming’s appearance was for that. He would hold back the Rat King and his horde and even try to hold down more mutated lifeforms.

As a four-star evolved with Moon Edge and Stamina Fountain, Ye Zhongming was unstoppable. With each step he took, huge amounts of flesh and blood flew about. There were corpses laid out behind him.

Ye Zhongming’s speed stunned the Rat King. It didn’t expect a human to be so unstoppable. But this increased its fighting spirit, and that giant figure appeared on its back once more.

He reached his limit when he was a hundred meters from the Rat King. When the mutated animals thought that he would slow down, he turned into an afterimage that appeared before the Rat King.

It was shocked. The figure descended and merged with its body, forming a giant rat with black armor. It was holding a steel fork.

The guards of the Rat King and its loyal subordinates were what he relied on to get to his position.

Two level-four and hundreds of level-three.

It was as if Ye Zhongming did not see the mutated rats. He used Flame Blade directly at them.

Level-three lifeforms knew how to sense danger. They dodged when they saw the blade light. Only the mutated rat that turned level-four after eating the evolution blood didn’t move. The Rat King was behind it, so it didn’t plan to dodge.

The moment the blade light was about to hit, a bunch of grey rats formed a translucent shield.

The blade light smashed into it and gave out a bright light.

In the light, a white line fired toward the Rat King, much taller than the level-four subordinate in front of it.

The Rat King’s body shook, and it played with the giant fork in its hands to protect itself.

Ye Zhongming was holding a green bow! That white line was a grey arrow that he had modified.

Ye Zhongming didn’t know archery so he couldn’t use it to its fullest effect. But as compared to the purple Crystal Energy Gun, the bow didn’t have requirements. Moreover, hitting at such a close range wouldn't be hard. That was enough.

Ye Zhongming didn’t think a bow could kill a level four being.

The rat shield and the spiral fork blocked his attack. Two level-four mutated rats knew that the counterattack was about to begin. They were going to work together to kill this human that was on a similar level to them! Maybe after eating it, the Rat King would get to level five.

But when they touched the energy shockwaves, they heard screams. They saw the human smiling coldly as he retreated. When he was 50 meters from them, he held ten level-three rat heads!

The Rat King cried out in pain and chased.
