Seeing Yuanbao's cowardly appearance, Yuan Chuyi didn't scold him any further.
"I hope nothing happened outside after we went in."
"It's nothing, just a few ratmen tried to sneak into the cave, but Yuanxiao and I took care of them in no time."
Yuan Chu glanced at the dozen or so rat-man corpses beside him and said, "Let's go, let's continue. But this time, let's just ignore the smaller rat-men and go deeper into the area."
A day later, Yuan Chuyi saw a huge mountain with countless caves at its foot from high in the sky. He excitedly controlled the golden dragon to land on the ground.
"This time we've encountered a large swarm of rats, conservatively estimated to be several million."
"Really? Millions of ratmen? Aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
Yuan Chuyi pointed in a direction, "Go forward about 5 kilometers. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. There are no less than a thousand rat-man caves alone."
"I'm not going. What if you leave me behind?" Wan'er pouted.
“If there are really that many, we can’t just fight haphazardly like before. We need to come up with a strategy,” Chen Wei suggested.
"The fastest way to kill them is to lure them into a small, confined space. The denser they are, the more powerful our group skills will be," Tang Yan said.
"Have you all rested enough? If you have, I'll take you to see the terrain."
A moment later, the group arrived at the top of the mountain and began to study their battle strategy.
"This is just a lone mountain peak; the rest of the area is completely flat. What tactics can we possibly use here?" Chen Wei said.
"Indeed, I think if all else fails, we should just confront them head-on."
Tang Yan glanced at Yuan Chuyi, "How about you be the bait this time?"
"What's the meaning?"
"It means exactly what it says. This time you don't need to fight. You just need to lure them together, and then we'll use area-of-effect skills to attack them."
"With such a large swarm of rats, there must be many leader-level ratmen. You just need to focus on killing the leaders," Tang Yan said.
Yuan Chuyi said with a bitter face, "You bunch of old women, you pushed me out at the crucial moment."
"Who's the old woman? We're clearly still young girls, okay?" Wan'er said indignantly.
"Alright, alright, you're all young girls, okay?"
Soon a figure appeared on the mountain below. Yuan Chuyi rushed straight towards a cave entrance, and a bolt of lightning struck the head of the wandering rat-man outside the cave.
"Hi, I'm here!"
Yuan Chu waved to the other ratmen who hadn't yet reacted. Then, he dashed off to the next hole, keeping a safe distance from the ratmen behind him.
Whenever a ratman gets close to him, he uses teleportation to create distance and continues running towards the next hole.
Soon, a dense swarm of rat-men followed behind Yuan Chuyi.
"Are you all ready? There are probably tens of thousands of ratmen behind me," Yuan Chuyi transmitted his voice.
"Don't you look at the sky?"
While Yuan Jiuyi was still pondering the meaning of those words, he noticed that countless red clouds had appeared above his head without him even realizing it.
"Damn it, why didn't you say anything when you used your skills?" After saying that, Yuan Chuyi used several teleports to quickly leave the area.
Yuan Chuyi broke out in a cold sweat as she looked at the sea of fire behind her. "Luckily I ran fast. I don't know if I would have died if I had been hit by several super spells at the same time."
In one fell swoop, the group killed six or seven waves of ratmen in this way, each wave consisting of at least tens of thousands of ratmen. Meanwhile, Yuanbao and Yuanxiao attacked the ratmen who managed to escape.
Just as Yuan Chuyi continued to lure the ratmen in this way, he felt the ground tremble slightly, which meant that a big guy had come out of the hole.
Sure enough, a ratman several times larger than the ratman leader quickly ran out of the hole.
Yuan Chuyi revealed a slight smile and prepared to deliver a Heaven-Opening Slash to this giant.
To his surprise, the giant rat-man leaped a hundred meters into the air the moment it emerged from its cave. Its massive claws, several meters long, swooped down towards Yuan Chuyi.
In a critical moment, Yuan Chuyi quickly withdrew the Heaven-Opening Slash he was about to use and instantly teleported back a hundred meters.
Amidst the rising dust, a claw mark 3 or 4 meters deep appeared before Yuan Chuyi's eyes.
"Damn, is this guy really that ruthless?" Yuan Chu cursed instinctively.
After finishing his sentence, Yuan Chuyi decided to test the strength of this big guy.
Just as he was about to move, he suddenly heard the voices of several women in his mind.
Watch out behind you!
"Honey, get out of the way!"
"Get out of there quickly!"
The girls who witnessed everything from the sky were just relieved that he had dodged the giant ratman's attack when they saw another giant ratman rush out from another hole and leap towards Yuan Chu Zhong.
At this moment, Tang Yan deeply regretted letting Yuan Chuyi take charge of attracting the rat people.
Yes, ever since they crossed the mountains and arrived here, the group had been sweeping away all sorts of rats and had long forgotten about the dangers.
Fortunately, at this crucial moment, Yuanbao also leaped forward and happened to bite the giant ratman flying in mid-air.
The rat-man, which had been leaping in a parabolic arc, suddenly plummeted at a 90-degree angle the moment Yuanbao bit its hind leg.
Yuanbao was about to feel smug when he saw that he had successfully intercepted the giant ratman who was attacking his master.
It felt like I was being thrown backwards at an even faster speed.
Just as Wan'er was about to cheer for Yuanbao's bravery high in the sky, she witnessed the embarrassing scene of a three- or four-meter-tall Yuanbao being kicked away by a ten-meter-tall rat-man.
Zheng Shuang also covered her forehead, unable to bear looking at Yuan Chu's current miserable state.
Yuanbao endured the pain and was furious. "Damn it, I've never been injured like this before, and now I'm being bullied by you, you mouse, here."
At this moment, Yuanxiao suddenly stood in front of Yuanbao and began to growl at the ratman.
Yuanxiao's actions only angered Yuanbao more. After wiping the blood from its mouth with its paw, it gently patted the tigress Yuanxiao who was blocking its way, signaling it to move aside.
"I've really lost face today. If I don't kill you, how will I ever be able to hold my head high in front of the tigress again? Also, if my underlings find out about this, it'll be a huge disgrace to the cat."
"The mouse beat up the cat! I absolutely cannot let that happen to me!"
At the same time, the women in the sky quickly descended and began attacking the ordinary ratmen.
Yuan Chuyi glanced at the women's behavior and knew they were buying themselves time to eliminate the giant creature alone.

Taking advantage of the giant ratman's inattention, Yuan Chuyi struck it on the head with a bolt of purple lightning.
To his surprise, the skill that usually eliminated a ratman with a single bolt of lightning only produced a wisp of smoke above the giant ratman's head.
Yuan Chuyi watched as the rat-man scratched his enormous rat head, as if to say, "Is that all you've got? Are you trying to give me a hair treatment with lightning?"
