"Guys, there's a problem. The last cat seems to be fake!"

All the mice were stunned, except for the workshop director, who didn't hear the sound.

Because he has turned into a cat.

Qin Bai could sense that many rats were concentrated in two places.

One was the place where he kept the mice, and the other was next to the place where he had just become a cat!

He knew that this must be the effect of a prop obtained by one of the rats, otherwise they would have been completely unaware of the situation of the others after they were separated.

"This makes it convenient for me to move around."

Qin Bai smirked and ran straight toward the nearest group of rats.

At his speed, it took him less than twenty minutes to reach the vicinity of the rats, who had already surrounded the workshop director, wanting to get information out of him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I really am a mouse, how could I be a cat? But just before, I suddenly received news that I had turned into a cat..."

The workshop foreman kept explaining.

"not good!"

A clever person realized the problem and was about to lead the others away, but it was too late.

"I didn't expect so many rats to be here. It's a good opportunity to wipe them out all at once."

Qin Bai appeared before them.

Even with all sorts of tools, they were powerless against Qin Bai's overwhelming strength.

They were easily suppressed, and Qin Bai forced them to use props, instantly teleporting everyone to the ice prison.

Meanwhile, Hu Tao and Zhong Ke happened to see Qin Bai appear here with a group of rats.

"leader!"

Hu Tao was overjoyed. The leader had returned safely, and with so many people. Did this mean they were sure to win?

Qin Bai locked these people in the ice cell, then walked up to the two men and said, "Don't be too happy yet. The rest of the men will probably launch one last attack tonight. For now, I won't change my identity."

Qin Bai planned to switch back to the cat's identity at the very end.

Otherwise, if the rat loses, he, being a rat, will die along with it.

Next, the three of them began to wait quietly for the seventh day to end.

After dark, they had already lit a campfire, and the firelight illuminated their faces.

"Boss, are the rats making any noise?"

Zhong Ke couldn't help but ask.

"No, it must be that my identity was guessed, so they stopped using those tools that could be detected by any rat."

To be honest, Qin Bai had no idea how many items were in the forest, but he figured there must be quite a few.

Time passed second by second, but there was still no reaction from the surroundings.

"Chief, are you going to switch identities? I'm worried that the settlement time might not be exactly midnight."

Hu Tao said with some concern.

Qin Bai thought about it and realized that was indeed the case. Since the outcome was already predetermined, he might as well switch his identity back.

As he spoke, he used another prop, and his identity instantly returned, while the workshop director turned back into a rat.

But at that moment, Qin Bai suddenly had a bad feeling.

His gaze suddenly fell on the ice cell, and he didn't know when, but all the rats in the ice cell had disappeared!

He went inside and saw a large hole in the ground leading underground.

It's obvious that this wasn't dug out by a rat; it must be the effect of a prop.

"You think you can run away from me?"

Qin Bai jumped in and quickly chased after him.

The traces left by so many people could not be erased at all, and Qin Bai found them in less than half an hour.

"The cat's coming! Everyone run!"

Seeing Qin Bai chasing after them, the group of rats prepared to scatter and escape, unaware that Qin Bai possessed psychic abilities.

He unleashed his psychic powers directly, and an invisible force swept over them all.

Immediately, these people obediently returned to Qin Bai's side. However, Qin Bai had a bit of a headache, as hypnotizing so many people at once was a lot of pressure for him.

"It should be about right now..."

Just as Qin Bai was thinking this, he suddenly saw a huge flame in the distance, and that direction was the same as where Hu Tao and Zhong Ke were.

"not good!"

Qin Bai seemed to have thought of something and immediately ran over there.

When he arrived, he saw Hu Tao, who was already dead, and Zhong Ke, whose face was full of anger and sorrow.

Not far away, there were more than a dozen corpses that had been burned to a crisp.

Qin Bai immediately guessed that the rats were actually acting in two steps: first, using props to lead their companions out of the ice cell.

On the other hand, they also assigned a smaller number of people to deal with Hu Tao and Zhong Ke.

They clearly knew the two men had firearms, so they must have had other tools, and then they forcibly killed Hu Tao.

At this critical moment, Zhong Ke...

Awakened!

Unfortunately, it was too late; Hu Tao was already dead.

Even a magician cannot bring the dead back to life.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I couldn't save Hu Tao."

Zhong Ke looked full of guilt.

Although they haven't known each other for long, Hu Tao is very much to his liking, and the two are already friends.

"This is not your fault."

Qin Bai patted him on the shoulder, comforting him.

However, since Hu Tao was the helicopter pilot, the helicopter became useless after his death.

Even after leaving the arena, there are only two ways for him to return.

One option is to abandon the helicopter altogether and return on foot.

It will definitely take a lot of time in the process.

Another task is to find another pilot who can operate the helicopter.

But helicopters aren't cars; there are very few people who can fly them.

Finally, time was up, and Qin Bai and the others returned to the helicopter.

It's still daytime here.

It was as if the seven days they spent in the forest had never existed.

As before, the phantom images of the dead appeared and entered Qin Bai and Zhong Ke's bodies, but Qin Bai still occupied the majority of the space.

Subsequently, they received different rewards.

Qin Bai's reward was a scabbard. Come to think of it, his Tiger Soul Blade didn't seem to have a scabbard, so this was a perfect opportunity to use it.

Zhong Ke's reward was a very long staff, perfectly befitting his identity as a magician.

"Boss, I'll bury Hu Tao first."

The two arrived at an open space, dug a pit, and put Hu Tao's body inside.

However, to prevent Hu Tao's body from turning into an ice corpse, Qin Bai used his psychic abilities to damage Hu Tao's brain tissue.

This way, his body can be preserved intact while preventing him from turning into an ice corpse.

After burying Hu Tao, they had to consider the simplest thing: how to get back to the shelter.

“Chief, I know a helicopter pilot who used to work at an amusement park, flying helicopters to take tourists for rides in the air.”
