late at night
In Tongjun City, the attendants in charge of patrolling were holding lights and walking back and forth on the streets of the city.
One of them yawned out of boredom and said to another companion beside him:
“It’s so boring…”
"Now my Southern Clan Alliance has at least hundreds of clans and hundreds of thousands of people. How dare the Dragon Emperor and her followers come to provoke us~?"
"That's right. They didn't even dare to defend such an important city like Tongjun. They just ran away when they saw us~"
"Besides, we still have the Demon Lord in charge, so there is nothing to worry about."
"That's right. How about we go find a place and have a drink together?"
The more they talked, the more they felt that continuing the patrol was a waste of time, so they put their arms around each other and prepared to find a place to have some fun.
Now the western part of Tongjun City is filled with barriers and formations, so even if someone really attacks, they will be able to detect it immediately.
So there is no need to worry about delaying things due to laziness.
Just as the two of them were talking and laughing as they passed through a dark alley, they suddenly heard a slight squeaking sound coming from the alley.
The two men stopped, their hearts tensed, they looked at each other and nodded, drew their weapons from their waists, and walked into the alley carefully holding the lamp.
As they walked deeper into the alley, a man brought a light close to them to peer around.
In the dark alley, I saw several rats gnawing on a corpse on the ground!
"Old, rat...?!"
"not good!"
"It's the rat demon clan!"
"Quick, send a signal..."
The man walking in front saw the rats and corpses on the ground and felt that something was wrong. He quickly spoke to the other person behind him.
However, there was a dense rustling sound behind him, and no response from the other person was heard...
The man held the lamp and slowly turned his head with a look of horror.
He saw countless rats piled up behind him, and his other companion had only half of his hand sticking out of the rats...
“Ahhhh!”
The man let out a scream of fear, and was completely devoured by the rats in the next second!
In the silent night, countless rats swarmed out from underground, houses, and even some deep wells!
The entire Tongjun City is filled with densely packed hordes of rats!
The people lying in the room sleeping were overwhelmed by rats before they could even react!
The rats on the streets gathered together and could pile up like a tsunami!
Wherever it goes, there is no grass growing and everything is eaten cleanly.
Once devoured by the rats, only a pile of white bones will be left in the next second!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The warning bell rang through the night sky of Tongjun City, and everyone who was sleeping or meditating was suddenly awakened.
However, some people woke up to find their bodies covered with rats.
The person next to him had even been eaten half way while he was sleeping...!
The camp of the Southern Clan Alliance is filled with swarming rats!
"Quick! Spread the rat-killing powder!"
"No, no! It's no use!"
"How come these rats are suddenly not afraid of rat powder at all!"
At this time, the entire Tongjun City and the Southern Clan Alliance camp were in chaos.
Fortunately, the Fox Mountain clan leaders who were studying overnight how to go north to attack the Dragon Emperor had not rested yet, and rushed to the camp as soon as they heard the noise.
Seeing the rampant rat swarms in the city and the camp, Fox Mountain was also shocked.
The rat demon clan is one of the five major clans under the Dragon Emperor, and is also the most terrifying clan in terms of numbers.
They are very good at digging holes in the ground and hiding in every crack.
Ordinary protective barriers are completely useless against the rat demon!
Whenever there was chaos in the demon world, the rat demon clan was always one of the clans that other clans were most wary of and afraid of!
Because the rat demon clan can always suddenly emerge from various places and devour your people when you are off guard!
Fox Mountain is not without defense against the rat demon clan.
When he decided to march north to attack the Dragon Emperor, he had anticipated the sudden attack by the rat demon clan and had people prepare a lot of rat-killing powder in advance.
Rat-killing powder contains a smell and a deadly poison that rats are extremely wary of and afraid of. It is a must-have item in the demon world that is well known against rat demons.
Xi Zhou had sprinkled rat-killing powder in every corner of the city and even in the camp in advance.
However, for some reason, it didn't work this time!
Hushan casually waved his hand and killed countless rats that rushed towards him. When he looked closely, he found that these rats were completely different from usual ones.
These mice all have scarlet eyes, sharp teeth and fangs, and are much larger in size!
Although the rat powder is still effective against these rats, they are now like crazy and fearless of death.
The rat in the front died when it came into contact with the rat-killing powder, and the rats behind it followed closely, stepping on the corpses of their companions as they moved forward!
With the terrifying number of rats, even if they are just used in the first place, they can wipe away all the rat-killing powder under the cloth!
If rat-killing powder doesn’t work, then we can only kill the rats by force!
"Everyone! Deploy your own barriers and kill the rats!"
Hushan shouted loudly and gave instructions to the people around him.
However, a melodious flute sound suddenly rang out, and a large number of rats swarmed out from everywhere frantically. Their expressions became more and more crazy, and their bodies became a little bigger.
Even some huge monsters can be swallowed up by rats in an instant, leaving only their bones!
All the members of the rat demon clan transformed themselves into rats and hid among the rat group.
Sometimes you think it's just a simple mouse, but the next second when it pounces on you, it can turn into a rat-man in mid-air and assassinate you unexpectedly!
For a moment, the entire Tongjun City and the camp of the Southern Clan Alliance were in chaos and noise.
The rat demon clan's late-night raid caught everyone off guard.
In a room in a corner of Tongjun City, Ning Yechen was lying on the bed with Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye in his arms to rest.
Several rats quietly crawled out from the ground and turned into ratmen holding sharp blades.
Just as several ratmen were about to swing their poisonous blades to assassinate, Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying suddenly opened their eyes at the same time.
In just a moment, the terrifying pressure frightened the first few ratmen so much that they were unable to move!
A ball of demonic flame quietly ignited from the bodies of several ratmen, instantly devouring them and turning them into a wisp of flying ash!
In order not to disturb the sleeping children, Ning Yechen didn't even give them a chance to speak.
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying had just heard the squeaking of rats everywhere in the city.
It takes a lot of courage to crawl up to him...!
Ning Yechen lowered his head to look at Luo Hongye who was sleeping soundly in his arms. Seeing that she had not been woken up yet, he touched her little face lovingly, then got up and climbed out of bed.
"My lady, I leave the child to you."
"I will be back soon."
As soon as he got out of bed, Ning Yechen's expression suddenly turned cold, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
It's late at night and you have to disturb his rest time with his wife and children!
Disturbing his precious daughter’s sleep is very serious!
