"Hiccup, you damned humans, you think you can destroy my rat kingdom? Hiccup."
The Rat King, drunk, let out a burp and arrogantly uttered these words before continuing to drink.
Beside him, a man with a nearly two-meter-long beard and typical shifty-eyed features nervously explained to the Rat King:
"Your Majesty, these people seem quite formidable. Our rat army has suffered heavy casualties."
Upon hearing the sound, the Rat King's little ears twitched from side to side, and he suddenly stood up abruptly: "Ah! Heavy casualties?"
His beady eyes stared blankly at the battle scene around him, and his whole body began to tremble with rage: "Damn it, the whole army line up!"
The mutated rats that followed the Rat King were swollen all over, with the hairs under their skin standing on end and trembling slightly.
Xu Xing squinted, realizing something was wrong. He ordered his men to halt their attack and begin to shrink the circle, trying to leave no gaps. He himself used his mental power to create a huge protective shield, enveloping everyone inside.
Woo woo woo~
A sound like shooting arrows burst forth from the skin of the mutated rats, and their hairs, as sharp as steel needles, miraculously detached from their bodies and shot towards Xu Xing.
Its power is no less than that of a bullet.
Wave after wave, until all the fur was shot off, turning them into hairless rats. The huge commotion caused dust to fly everywhere, creating a moment of chaos.
The Rat King, dragging his obese body, gulped down the thickest layer of gasoline from the nearby oil drum, swayed as he stepped off his vehicle, and roared, "Charge! Slaughter all the humans and eat them, and I'll grind the cats to dust!"
Although the Rat King is extremely obese, its strength is not to be underestimated. As a level five mutated beast, it can move swiftly to get close.
But what happened next left him dumbfounded.
This group of humans not only emerged unscathed, but even the last wisp of rat fur remained in the man's hand.
"The quality of the mouse fur is quite good, comparable to that of ordinary steel, but unfortunately, it smells terrible."
Xu Xing laughed and flung away the rat fur, the loose fur all rushing towards the Rat King.
In an instant, almost all of the rat hairs were inserted into the rat king's body and remained inside its thick layer of fat.
The Rat King let out a miserable cry, and many small red spots appeared all over its body. It hurt a bit, but it didn't seem to cause any serious harm.
Its thick layer of fat, while affecting its mobility, significantly increases its defensive capabilities.
"Hey, you've got something."
Xu Xing took another step forward, facing the aching Rat King, and stretched out his hands to encircle its paws. Then he clasped his fingers tightly together, turned around, and threw it over his back.
Bang!
With a seemingly effortless technique, the Rat King was instantly stunned, and the ground cracked open, creating a crater about one meter deep.
Any normal level 5 ability user or mutated beast would inevitably engage in a fierce battle, but the opponent was clearly insane from drinking gasoline.
Seeing their bosses clash, both sides didn't say much and immediately went all out to meet each other with their fiercest attacks, unleashing a variety of supernatural abilities.
Some threw fire, some threw ice, and some even grew three or four times their original size and charged forward fiercely.
Those molted rats, who usually only bullied the cat, spent most of their time indulging in pleasure with the Rat King, leaving all the hard work to the rats below. They had never seen anything like this before, and their defenses were breached in an instant.
Their eldest brother wasn't having an easy time either, because of his enormous size and body covered in layers of fat that formed a defensive barrier, Xu Xing was forced to abandon his weapon.
After all, if you stab a knife into its belly, it might not even splatter a drop of blood.
So Xu Xing chose the most violent method, using his telekinetic power to enhance the strength of his entire body, and used his fists to give this Rat King a full-body "massage".
For a moment, the Rat King was like a carelessly discarded soccer ball, being tossed around wildly in the sky.
Occasionally, mutated rats would roll off, causing them huge casualties.
This overwhelming situation did not last long. As the Rat King swallowed his last breath, his body slumped weakly in a convenience store, and the exhausting battle came to an end.
Xu Xing took out a tissue, wiped the sweat from his brow, let out a soft breath, and called over Zhou Feng, who was counting the spoils of war: "How are the casualties among the brothers?"
Zhou Feng said, "Only two unlucky ones died because they went too deep and were attacked by the group. Most of the rest were slightly or seriously injured. After all, the mutated rats' biggest attack is their teeth and claws. If you take a hit, you won't die."
Xu Xing nodded and instructed, "When you leave, collect their bodies and, if they have any family members, give them some compensation; otherwise, forget about it."
After saying that, he took the Rat King's crystal core and also collected its corpse.
The body of a level 5 mutated beast is very valuable. Even if you don't want to eat it yourself, you can divide up the meat and preserve it in the future. Whether you give it to your group of mutated beasts or put it on the trading market for ability users to exchange for with contribution points, it's a good choice.
As for those things outside, it's not too late to take them back when he comes back.
The most urgent task is still the food I've always been thinking about.
Following the path the Rat King had taken, Xu Xing arrived at a large factory building, which was originally used simply as a logistics warehouse.
There was a thick wall behind it, but now a large hole had been broken through it, and the area was covered with large and small teeth marks, which seemed to be the work of that group of mutated rats.
Entering through the passage, one is suddenly greeted by a breathtaking view: countless enormous storage tanks are situated behind the factory, all embedded underground with only two or three meters protruding above the ground.
At this moment, many of the storage tanks are broken, and if you smell them closely, you can detect a mixture of rice, wheat, and corn.
Clearly, there is still a considerable amount of inventory remaining.
Come to think of it, even if those rats were allowed to eat all that cargo, a hundred thousand tons, they wouldn't be able to destroy much of it.
Xu Xing floated up and examined each jar one by one, discovering that most of them were still closed, which greatly pleased him.
So he hurriedly opened the box to check and found the grain neatly stored there, just as I had stored it. This was a necessary move for him to expand his power.
With these supplies, it's like adding wings to a tiger.
Xu Xing began to act recklessly, gulping down large amounts of food, which began to gather towards him. He was like a bottomless black hole, absorbing as much as it came.
He had already cleared out a large space in the room and arranged the grains according to their type. As time passed, Xu Xing suddenly realized that the seemingly infinite space was now becoming somewhat unbearable for him.
Xu Xing had no choice but to continue stacking the grain. He also collected the old and wasted grain, storing it in a special corner, as it would most likely be traded with other forces in the future.
