"Go back to that stone path."
Shen Nanxing grabbed Jiang Nian'an's hand and pulled her back to the stone path they had been on.
'squeak--'
As soon as the two people and the snake entered the stone passage, two large black rats followed them in.
'hiss'
The last king cobra flicked its tongue, its tail lashing out fiercely at one of the snakes.
It was so badly slapped that it started vomiting blood.
Then, it twisted its upper body in mid-air and bit down on the neck of another black rat, pulling hard and severing half of its neck.
'squeak--'
The incessant screams of the two large black rats, coupled with the pervasive stench of blood, further agitated the mutated black rats behind them.
'Squeak'
The rats swarmed around, desperately squeezing into the stone path.
The stone path was narrow, allowing only three mice to pass side by side at a time.
Jiang Nian'an watched helplessly as the mutated black rats stacked themselves up like a human pyramid, stepping on each other's bodies, trying to fall down from above and attack them.
"An'an, get ready!"
With a soft shout, thunder roared before him, like a terrifying beast, rushing straight towards the mutated black rat swarm at the entrance of the stone path.
Amidst flashes of lightning, a green light intertwined with it, transforming into willow branches as the mutated rats screamed and convulsed on the ground.
Under Jiang Nian'an's control, they rushed into the brains of the mutated black rats that were powerless to resist and pulled out all the crystal cores from their brains.
The lightning energy from Shen Nanxing has formed a dense electric grid at Shidaokou.
The sound of exploding electricity and the charred corpse of its companion made the mutated black rat outside the stone passage want to retreat.
It lingered at the entrance to the stone path instead of rushing up.
Just when Jiang Nian'an thought they were about to give up and retreat, a sharp squeaking sound rang out again from outside the stone path.
In an instant, the mutated black rats lingering at the entrance of the stone passage seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and once again rushed towards the electric fence without regard for their lives.
They were determined to tear through the electric fence and rush into the stone path.
Amidst the flashes of lightning, Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an saw a large, plump black rat, a full meter long, appear at the entrance of the stone passage. It was a size larger than the other mutated black rats.
Its body sank down, constantly emitting sharp, rat-like squeaking sounds.
As it cried out, the mutated black rats' attack became even more ferocious.
Jiang Nian'an's pupils darkened slightly; it was the Rat King.
With the Rat King in command, this group of mutated black rats will never retreat easily.
Now, they have killed nearly 200 mutated black rats, but the rat swarm is still just as active as before.
Outside this stone path, who knows how many mutated black rats have gathered.
When it comes to a protracted war, the opposing rat swarm definitely has the advantage.
The Rat King must be killed to completely defeat this group of mutated black rats.
"Brother Chen, that must be the Rat King. You cover me, and I'll go kill it with the King!"
Jiang Nian'an crouched down and darted out from under Shen Nanxing's arm.
The king immediately followed.
"An'an!"
Her movements were too fast; Shen Nanxing, who was holding the electric grid with both hands, had no time to grab her.
He could only unleash his full power to intercept all the mutated black rats and protect her.
When the mutated black rat king saw Jiang Nian'an and the Great Dynasty charging towards it, a savage glint flashed in its scarlet eyes.
Jiang Nian'an rushed to the stone path entrance, her vines whipping out a whip, and lashed out fiercely at the Rat King.
"Brother Chen, clear a path for me!"
A gap immediately appeared in the electric grid, just wide enough for a vine whip to pass through.
'squeak--'
Regardless of the type of mutated creature, the king is proud and will not tolerate any other creature offending him.
Enraged, the mutated black rat king kicked its hind legs hard on the ground, leaped up, and opened its mouth to bite at the vine whip.
The moment the rat king bit it, the vine whip suddenly split in two, grazing the rat king's left and right sides before wrapping around its body.
Jiang Nian'an pulled hard with her right hand, and the Rat King, which had not yet hit the ground, was suddenly thrown forward and crashed into the electric fence.
'squeak--'
The Rat King let out a scream, its body jolted from the electric shock, and its struggles weakened considerably.
"Brother Chen, open the door and let me bring it in!"
As soon as Jiang Nian'an finished speaking, two electric chains extended from the electric grid, dragging the mutated black rat king directly into the stone passage.
Jiang Nian'an's gaze sharpened as she looked at the Rat King. "Your Majesty, go and kill it in front of these black rats!"
She wanted to kill the Rat King as a warning to the other rats.
The Great King moved swiftly, arriving in front of the mutated black rat king in the blink of an eye, and bit down on it with his blood-red maw.
The mutated black rat king's eyes widened suddenly, it squeaked in terror, and struggled desperately.
But the vines and electric chains on its body kept it firmly under control.
With a 'plop' sound, the Great King bit down on the mutated black rat king's throat, then suddenly jerked its head upwards.
A spurt of blood gushed out along with the mutated black rat king's shrill scream, terrifying the mutated black rats that were still rushing towards the electric fence.
The Great King's body had tightly wrapped around the weakened mutated Black Rat King, and its snake mouth opened wide, swallowing the Rat King's head in one gulp.
'squeak--'
Seeing their own king being swallowed up bit by bit by the Great King, the instinctive fear deep in their blood awakens.
The mutated black rats retreated and fled.
Jiang Nian'an didn't chase after it; she only dug out the crystal core from the brain of the black rat that had just been electrocuted.
Only after there was no further movement outside the stone path did Shen Nanxing withdraw his supernatural power.
His forehead was covered in sweat, and his brows showed signs of fatigue.
Jiang Nian'an quickly handed him a clean handkerchief, "Quickly wipe yourself!"
She knew that Shen Nanxing's lightning energy was about to run out.
They killed a total of 328 mutated black rats, 90% of which were killed by Shen Nanxing.
One of these mutated rats is equivalent to five zombies, as is their crystal core energy.
In other words, Shen Nanxing killed nearly 1,400 zombies in less than half an hour.
Shen Nanxing wiped his sweat, then put the handkerchief back in his pocket and looked up at the pile of rat carcasses that looked like a small mountain in front of the stone path.
"Let's go, let's get out of here first. These corpses will definitely attract other mutated creatures."
“Yes.” Jiang Nian’an had the same thought.
She turned to look at the king and found that it had already swallowed half of the rat king into its belly, which was as big as a basket.
"Um... Your Majesty, are you even able to walk?"
Her question was difficult, and the king's nod was also difficult.
Before he could stop himself, half of the rat king was already in his stomach.
Shen Nanxing sighed softly and stepped forward to lift the king up on his shoulders.
"Brother Chen, let's go back to the cave we were in before."
Jiang Nian'an walked ahead with a flashlight, while Shen Nanxing carried the king behind her.
After returning to the cave, the commotion of the beast tide had disappeared.
Jiang Nian'an walked to the right side of the cave and sat down on a rock, then patted another one. "Brother Chen, come here."
"Um."
Shen Nan set the king down and quickly walked over to sit down next to Jiang Nian'an.
Jiang Nian'an took out 50 superpower cores and handed them to him, saying, "Recover."
Shen Nanxing did not refuse, took the crystal core from Jiang Nian'an, and hurriedly recovered his superpower.
