Chapter 4 Surprise

Lin Qi made a prompt decision and rushed directly towards Kotego's scepter before the rat troll approached.

In the darkness, countless scarlet eyes looked at the sudden troublemaker. When they found that the other party was outnumbered, the bloodthirsty side of these ratmen was aroused.

At the end of the passage, the rat troll's deformed and swollen arm fell to the ground.

His legs, which seemed short compared to his arms, began to speed up and rushed towards the uninvited guest like a monkey.

The monster's charging footsteps echoed in the tunnel, but the first thing Lynch had to face was the short and agile slave rats.

The ratman rushing towards him was torn into two pieces by Lynch's sharp claws. This violent and bloody scene made the other ratmen pause slightly.

Lynch took advantage of the situation and pounced, biting the ratman in front of him who was unable to escape due to cowardice with his sharp teeth, and cut the necks of the ratmen on both sides with his claws.

The rough dagger in the ratman's hand could not penetrate Lynch's armor. Occasionally, a hidden weapon would cut the scales, but Lynch's terrifying self-healing ability would heal the wound in an instant.

The air was filled with a strong stench, and many ratmen began to retreat with secretions produced by fear.

The blood aroused Lynch's hunting desire. Smelling the timid smell in the air, Lynch did not stop at all and continued to rush towards the ancient relics.

Lynch only killed a dozen ratmen, and seeing that the enemy was irresistible, they began to flee.

At first, only the ratmen who were about to face Lynch turned around and fled. The ratmen behind saw their companions in front running away and did not want to face the enemy directly, so they also turned around and left.

The ratmen further behind mistakenly thought that the rat pack had been defeated and hurriedly found a shortcut to evacuate.

In the end, one leads ten, and ten lead a hundred.

The panicked ratmen even blocked the charge path of the rat trolls. They would rather face this monster than Lynch, but they were crushed into meat paste by the monster the next moment.

Lynch grasped Kotego's scepter from the pile of corpses. He felt the delicate metal texture and a warmth spread from the palm of his hand to his whole body.

A cold will hit Lynch.

[Whether to stimulate the solar core]

The strong wind from the rat troll left Lynch no time to think, and he agreed to the request directly.

Bright sunlight escaped from the diamond-shaped crystal on the top of the scepter, illuminating the tunnel.

Impurities and evil melt away in the sunlight, but mutated creatures like the Rat Trolls are not Chaos Demons and are not afraid of purification.

"bump!"

The rat troll's fist, as thick as a bucket, hit Lynch hard and sent him flying against the rock wall. After a dizzy spell, Lynch slid to the ground.

The second hint from the scepter came belatedly.

[Whether to start melting]

Lynch felt like his whole body was falling apart, and there was a fishy smell in his breath.

The strengthening panel appeared in front of him again, which temporarily prevented him from paying attention to the scepter's request.

[Current potential development degree: 15]

[Current Affix: Rebirth]

[Enhancement optional]

Lynch discovered that his self-healing ability could still be strengthened, but he was unable to unlock further enhancements now.

So Lynch chose the scale armor strengthening transformation without hesitation.

Amidst a wave of itchiness, Lynch faced the rat troll's sandbag-sized fist, and a system reminder sounded in his ears.

【Transformation Successful】

"bump!"

Lynch tried his best to roll over and avoid the attack, but the stone wall that took the damage for him had already cracked.

[Current Affix: Rebirth, Heavy Armor]

Relying on his strong recovery ability, Lynch stood up and activated the "melting" of the scepter.

The crystal on top of the scepter lit up with a dazzling blue arc of light, crackling in the air.

It is worthy of being the black technology of the ancient saints!

The rat troll rushed towards Lynch again, with no fear in its dull brain.

Lynch watched it crash into Kotego's Scepter, its huge body melted and cut by the laser. Lynch easily cut it in half with one stroke.

The broken body fell on both sides of Lynch, and the crystal began to flicker restlessly.

Lynch stopped activating the scepter. It should be a solar-powered melting device that had been underground and had not been replenished for a long time.

The superstitious lizards would think that they needed to replenish the power of the ancient saints, but Lynch could infer from experience that it would be fine to just take this thing out to bask in the sun to recharge it.

Although in the eyes of the Skink Lizard, the sun is the embodiment of the power of the Ancient Saint Kotego.

The ancient saints had already preset the program, but the lizardmen who had lost their inheritance gradually deified it.

Lynch did not stay where he was, as the fleeing Skaven might bring reinforcements.

Once there are tens of thousands of ratmen, timidity will be replaced by a kind of mysterious self-confidence.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

That means Lynch would have to kill thousands of ratmen to repel them, which would be enough to tire Lynch to death.

Maybe I can try to improve my endurance next!

Lynch walked through the tunnel, paying attention to the traces on the ground and moving in the direction where there were fewer traces of ratmen remaining.

During this process, he had the idea of ​​crippling himself and then strengthening himself in a nesting doll-like manner.

Reason made Lynch not put it into practice in the end. God knows how the panel made the judgment.

What if I end up half-crippled and it refuses to admit it, wouldn't I have been beaten up for nothing? More importantly, the current environment is not safe, and serious injuries may lead to irreversible accidents.

There was a sound of flowing water in the deep cave, it seemed there was an underground river.

Smelling the moisture in the air, Lynch had a reference point in the intricate tunnel.

The water vapor became thicker and thicker, and Lynch could already hear the sound of rushing water.

This is good news; perhaps the flowing water can lead Lynch to the exit.

Setbacks always come unexpectedly. When Lynch turned the corner, a closed door stopped him.

The texture of the door is completely different from the murals on both sides. It appears smooth and has a metallic luster.

The wall was covered with irregular patterns, but fortunately, this proved that it was not created by the ratmen.

This is not the Rat Man's style.

The Rat People worship their Rat God. Thirteen is the sacred number of the Horned Rat, and the blasphemous number runs through all areas of Rat People's lives.

Lynch could judge that this was not the secret base of the ratmen.

Just as Lynch was looking at the pattern on the door, the door suddenly opened slowly, but what came into Lynch's eyes was not the road ahead.

A dark yellow light leaked out, illuminating the tunnel.

The pale yellow crystals are mixed with amber-colored narrow ellipses, which vividly reflect Lynch's figure.

A chill ran up Lynch's spine and into his brain, and even the lizard man's cold thinking began to waver.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the pupil of some creature!

The pupils were as big as a truck! It looked at Lin Qi in confusion, the ground trembled slightly, and the pupils sank downwards.

The sound of the giant creature entering the water caused huge waves to splash onto Lynch, causing him to stagger.

The pupil has disappeared, and a dark river that seems to have no end appears in Lynch's sight, and a huge whirlpool is gradually dissipating.

How could this be an underground river? It was clearly an "underground sea"! The sea water was flowing mightily underground, but the unknown beast had already helped Lin Qi make a choice.

This road is blocked! (End of this chapter)
