"What kind of damn captain is he? He was so arrogant before, but what happened?" Chen Junyu stabbed a rat-man to death and said to Qiao Ruoxi beside him, "Now he's deserted. Xixi, will you still like him?"
Even during the battle, Chen Junyu didn't forget to badmouth his enemy in front of the goddess.
"I told you, I don't like him!" Qiao Ruoxi said helplessly as she slashed the rat-man in front of her with her twin swords. "Besides, I don't think Captain Zhang would desert!"
"You still say you don't like him!" Chen Junyu felt that the goddess was deceiving him. He was filled with grief and indignation. He thrust his long sword repeatedly and cleared away a group of ratmen in front of him.
Qiao Ruoxi no longer wanted to talk.
No matter how she explained, it was no use; Chen Junyu was convinced that she liked Zhang Lin.
Furthermore...
The current situation doesn't allow her to discuss who she likes or dislikes anymore.
There are more and more rat people!
They completely surrounded the more than twenty experts from Hope City and Jinyu County.
Almost everyone is now injured.
If things continue like this, not all of these twenty-odd experts will be wiped out, but most of them will be left in this dark rat's nest.
"Captain Zhang, where have you been all this time?!"
While fighting, Qiao Ruoxi couldn't help but turn her head to look behind her.
As she just said, she didn't think Zhang Lin was a deserter. Although she didn't like Zhang Lin very much, she also recognized his abilities.
She felt that Zhang Lin must have other plans.
"Xi Xi, you're thinking about him again!" Chen Junyu saw the number of ratmen around the goddess gradually increasing, so he rushed over to help. But as soon as he arrived, he heard Qiao Ruoxi mention Zhang Lin. He felt as if a thunderbolt had struck him, and he was completely numb.
"You son of a bitch..." Qiao Ruoxi blurted out a curse, but then she held back and didn't say it out loud. She shut her mouth and decided to ignore this idiot.
She focused intently on killing the ratmen in front of her. During a lull in the battle, she instinctively turned back to check the situation once again, and this time, she was not disappointed.
Zhang Lin came rushing from a distance, holding his Miao sword, which exuded a chilling aura like an assassin, in one hand, while dragging a woman with the other.
"Captain Zhang is back!"
Qiao Ruoxi shouted in surprise.
Although she was quite capable, she had never ventured out into the world on her own. In the past, she had always worked under the protection of her father, Qiao Yu, and he could always solve any problems she encountered.
Qiao Yu was her support.
Now that Qiao Yu has led her people back to Hope City, all her hopes are pinned on Zhang Lin.
In fact, she relied on Zhang Lin even more than she relied on her father.
After all, even her father had no choice but to submit to Zhang Lin.
Now that Zhang Lin has returned, Qiao Ruoxi feels that the immense pressure weighing on her heart has finally disappeared completely.
"Xi Xi!"
Hearing her hopeful cry, Chen Junyu's eyes filled with tears, and he thrust his long sword repeatedly, as if to vent all the grief and anger in his heart.
"Zhang Lin is back!"
When Xia Xiaonuan heard Qiao Ruoxi's shout, she turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.
Without her mount, she couldn't unleash her full power and could only fight with a pistol that had unlimited ammo. Fortunately, she had an ability to imbue her bullets with strange, explosive flames, which allowed her to barely protect the city lord.
As the city lord's only friend and the only one who knows his secret, Xia Xiaonuan doesn't want the city lord to become a complete robot.
Therefore, she could only try her best to protect the city lord and prevent him from taking action himself.
However, as more and more ratmen awakened, she felt immense pressure, and the city lord faced danger multiple times, almost having to take action himself.
Fortunately, Zhang Lin is back!
The city lord also looked at Zhang Lin.
Although she didn't know what he meant by bringing a woman back, she still breathed a long sigh of relief. Having known Zhang Lin for so long, this was the first time she had missed him so much.
"Everyone, heed my command: kill the Rat King!"
Upon Zhang Lin's return, his first words were an order.
After the order was given, no one responded, but everyone simultaneously changed their target and headed straight for the Rat King.
Zhang Lin wielded the Miao sword, slashing and killing the ratmen who stood in his way. The Miao sword, imbued with the power of the underworld, was incredibly powerful, killing each ratman with a single strike as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
At the same time, killing each ratman restores some of his stamina, though little, it's better than nothing. Moreover, with each life lost, the power of the Netherworld Miao Blade slowly increases.
This enhancement is also very slight, but fortunately it is a permanent increase. If it is accumulated over many years, the enhancement effect will be quite considerable.
A moment later, he arrived beside Xia Xiaonuan.
Xia Xiaonuan, the city lord, and Ji Yuetong gathered together.
Of the three, only Xia Xiaonuan has the ability to fight.
Ji Yuetong was only responsible for putting a shield on Xia Xiaonuan.
The city lord was only responsible for commanding the battle and could not provide Xia Xiaonuan with any help. On the contrary, he needed Xia Xiaonuan's protection.
"Xiao Nuan, the three of you step back and keep an eye on this woman!" Zhang Lin naturally wouldn't let his women continue charging, but instead assigned them a safe mission.
"Okay." Xia Xiaonuan didn't mince words. With her personality, she preferred direct killing, but she also knew that Zhang Lin's sudden return with a woman must have a deeper meaning, and the task of guarding this woman must be very important.
"Yue Tong, cast a shield on me!"
Ji Yuetong gathered milky-white energy in her hand, which formed a shield after a moment. With a wave of her hand, the shield was placed on Zhang Lin. "Brother Lin, it's ready!"
"Okay." Zhang Lin handed Yang Wenting over to Xia Xiaonuan and the other two, then headed straight for the Rat King.
The Rat King was taller than an adult man, with bulging muscles all over his body and shiny gray fur. His huge rat head had a pair of red eyes, making him look quite eerie.
Surrounded by countless ratmen, it roars and these ratmen attack the target the Ratman King points to, after which the Ratman King seizes the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Most of the injuries were caused by the Rat King.
After Zhang Lin gave the order, everyone abandoned the tactic of fighting and retreating and headed straight for the Ratman King.
The Ratman King also sensed something was wrong. He roared and ordered more ratmen to come to his aid. At the same time, he displayed his great strength, no longer hiding among the ratmen, but directly charging towards the two experts from Hope City.
Along the way, all the ratmen that blocked its path were kicked away. With unparalleled power, it charged towards the two experts from Hope City.
"We're doomed!"
No one expected that the Ratman King, who had always only relied on sneak attacks, would suddenly unleash such a powerful attack, leaving the two Hope City experts completely dumbfounded.
The two could only watch helplessly as the Ratman King's enormous fist drew ever closer to their head...
