Wang Zheng had a vague feeling that he had been caught up in some kind of conspiracy. If someone told him now that it was all a coincidence, he would definitely be the first to disbelieve it.
The three retreated into the alley outside, but countless rats still swarmed out of the guesthouse.
The rats that had been sedated by Wang Zheng's milk were torn to pieces by their own kind, and soon only skeletons remained on the ground. It seems that these rats have gone completely mad.
No wonder they weren't afraid of the ferocity of the beasts; judging from the frenzied state of this rat swarm, they probably had long since lost their minds.
Dang Liantao hurriedly shouted, "Xiaoyu, go tell the brothers to retreat. Wang Zheng, go back to the car and keep an eye on Tao Shen. Lao Dan, come over here!"
By this time, a torrential downpour had begun outside, and the power of Dang Liantao's flames was greatly reduced in the rain.
Countless frenzied rats had already rushed towards the three of them.
Moreover, the rat infestation wasn't just coming from the travel agency; even the manhole covers on the streets were rattling and rats were rushing out of them.
Yu Shaoting could only use water balloons to surround the large swarm of rats, but she was unable to kill them quickly.
Wang Zheng looked at the rat struggling and thrashing in the water ball and felt a little absurd; he actually had time to complain.
A powerful elemental awakener has to suffocate to kill an enemy? That's too slow, even ice-type is better.
No wonder they say it's not very useful on land.
Wang Zheng knew that although their situation seemed critical, it was only on the surface. The other two were elemental awakeners and could not possibly be unable to transform into elements.
As for himself, he wouldn't get hurt if he stood still. However, even though he had come out into the alley, the rats were still too smelly, and Wang Zheng didn't want to rely on them to attack him and end up hurting or killing them.
The main reason is that this rat is just an ordinary animal, only it has grown bigger and gone mad; it is not a strange beast at all.
There's no benefit to killing them.
Moreover, the surrounding area has long been cleared out, and there are no ordinary people around. As long as these rats don't rush into the street, they won't cause any trouble.
However, judging from the frantic state of these rats, they have no intention of going anywhere else.
Wang Zheng immediately agreed with Dang Liantao's suggestion, thinking only that once Shan Changxu was brought back, a series of lightning strikes in the heavy rain would kill every single one of these stinking rats.
Moreover, obeying orders from superiors is a soldier's duty, and this is not because I'm lazy.
Wang Zheng had already prepared an excuse for himself to be lazy.
"Even if I, the iron-willed Young Master Wang, starve to death today, even if I have to crawl into the sewers, I will go back to guard this important, suspicious target!" (Note: The suspicious target refers to Tao Shen, who is still in a deep coma.)
'No task is inherently superior or inferior; it is our duty, and we cannot shirk it!'
Upon hearing Dang Liantao's command, Yu Shaoting immediately retracted the water balloon, transformed into a stream of water, and quickly disappeared along the edge of the street, mingling with the rainwater.
This was the first time Wang Zheng had ever seen a water-type ability user who had transformed into an element. He hadn't expected that the user couldn't fly; instead, the user simply turned into a stream of clear water flowing across the ground.
"Tsk tsk tsk, who can't fly?"
After making his previous comment, Wang Zheng leaped high into the air, then prepared to retreat onto the street.
"Squeak—squeak—squeak—"
The frenzied rats had just surrounded Wang Zheng when they saw him retreat, and they instantly erupted in a frenzy, chasing after him as if to say, "I couldn't catch the elementalists, but you think you can run away on foot?"
Wang Zheng hadn't exerted himself to this extent in a long time, and in his excitement, he jumped a little too high. When he landed, he saw countless rats surging out of the sewer behind him.
He frowned instantly, pinched his nose, and then charged forward abruptly.
They stopped after taking only two steps.
He looked at the rats that had just rushed over and been trampled to death with a puzzled expression, and was surprised to find that the upper limit of spiritual energy in his data panel had actually jumped up by two points.
Seeing that Wang Zheng had stopped, the frenzied rat swarm seemed to think that they had already obtained the delicious flesh and blood, and rushed forward in a swarm.
Wang Zheng wanted to try again, but he was a little unsure.
He took a step forward, turned his body slightly to the side, twisted his waist and kicked out with great force.
The three mice in the path of movement disappeared instantly.
Note that it means "disappeared," not "kicked away."
Wang Zheng lifted his foot and looked at it, inwardly cursing himself for being an idiot.
His shoes were clearly a bloody mess; the flesh and bones of the three unfortunate rats had turned into a puddle of mud, completely stuck to his shoes, and dripping a few drops of scarlet blood as the torrential rain washed over them.
Wang Zheng stared nervously at his data panel, but when he found that there was still no change even after three mice had died, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Was it really just a coincidence?
Wang Zheng was still not giving up. Since his shoes were already dirty, he kicked two more rats that pounced on him to death.
However, this time Wang Zheng's eyes instantly lit up, because his data panel had added 1 point to his spiritual energy limit.
It turns out that not all mice possess spiritual abilities, but even if only one-tenth of the mice do...
"Glug~"
Wang Zheng swallowed nervously, feeling his heart pounding wildly.
"Damn it, we've struck it rich this time!"
