"Hey kid, pay attention! These creatures are called plague rats: they usually live in groups. Once they've got their eye on you, it only takes a few seconds to reduce your prey to bones!"
In the next instant, a sharp, piercing howl suddenly echoed through the air, like a call from hell. Immediately afterward, the enormous plague rat's body trembled violently, as if some terrifying floodgate had been opened.
In an instant, thousands of plague rats surged out of the giant rat's body, their fangs bared and claws gleaming, like a horde of demons crawling out of hell, roaring as they pounced on Lin Mo and the others.
Lin Mo's expression instantly turned serious. He had originally planned to withstand this wave of attacks with his own strength, but the dense swarm of rats in front of him made him feel suffocated.
A cursory glance revealed a massive, dark swarm of rats, numbering at least several thousand, an unbelievable number.
"Damn it, this is absolutely terrifying!" Lin Mo couldn't help but curse, feeling utterly speechless.
He knew all too well that the three of them could not possibly defeat such a massive swarm of rats!
"Back off, back off!" Lin Mo's voice was filled with an undeniable urgency as he grabbed Zhao Yue'er's slender arm and pulled her back.
Lin Mo reacted swiftly, almost a split second before the plague rats swarmed in, he pushed the iron gate shut with a loud thud.
Rats on Earth are known for their agility and nimbleness, moving with ease through the cracks of cities and scaling high walls. These plague rats, however, take this trait to the extreme.
They surged forth like a black torrent, and even the sturdiest city walls seemed utterly vulnerable before them.
Although the iron gate was thick and heavy, it had long been corroded by time and was covered in rust. Lin Mo was not sure if it could withstand this crazy impact.
However, at this moment they had no choice but to pin their hopes on the rickety iron gate, hoping it could give them a glimmer of hope.
The swarm of rats outside continued to ram the iron gate, making a piercing metallic scraping sound that annoyed Lin Mo!
Before long, thousands upon thousands of plague rats surged over the iron gate like a tidal wave, rushing into the room in a frenzy.
Faced with this sudden swarm of rats, Lin Mo's eyes narrowed, and he gripped the longsword named Dragon Slayer tightly, fearlessly charging forward.
When the swarm of rats rushed to within two meters of Lin Mo, a dozen enormous rats with exposed fangs suddenly leaped up and pounced fiercely on him.
"A bunch of disgusting ugly freaks, die!"
Lin Mo roared, his voice filled with determination and resolve. He swung his Dragon-Slaying Sword, and instantly, a dazzling sword light pierced the night sky, brilliant and captivating.
Where the sword light passed, a sharp whistling sound rang out in the air. Immediately afterwards, the bodies of the dozen or so plague rats were pierced through by the sword light, blood splattered everywhere, and limbs flew off in all directions.
In an instant, the entire space was filled with a strong stench of blood. The plague rats that were charging ahead were startled by the sudden slaughter and paused for a moment, but then continued to charge forward madly.
Lin Mo possesses divine power, so these plague rats naturally pose no threat to him.
But the giant wolves Zhao Zhilan and Zhao Yue'er are different.
Although their strength far surpasses that of ordinary people, dealing with a few plague rats is no problem for them.
But the thousands of rats in front of them were beyond their ability to handle.
Zhao Yue'er swung her longsword, and a sharp flash of light swept through, instantly cleaving the plague rat in front of her to the ground. However, in the instant she relaxed her guard, more than a dozen enormous plague rats suddenly leaped up and pounced on her like a black whirlwind.
Before Zhao Yue'er could react, she was pounced on by the ferocious plague rats and knocked to the ground.
The plague rats, like hungry wolves, frantically tore at the tender flesh peeking out from the gaps in her armor, each bite causing her excruciating pain.
At this moment, dozens more giant rats sprang out from all directions, their eyes gleaming with cruelty, their sharp claws tearing viciously at Zhao Yue'er's armor. The armor made a piercing metallic tearing sound under their claws, as if it would be ripped apart at any moment.
"Yue'er!" Lin Mo's heart burned with rage upon seeing this. He roared and charged forward, wielding the War Dragon Spear with ferocious force. His eyes were filled with anger and worry; he knew he had to rescue Zhao Yue'er as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thanks to Lin Mo's valiant fight, the plague rat swarm was finally driven back. Zhao Yue'er was also able to escape from the rats' encirclement. She was covered in blood, but her eyes shone with a determined light.
However, the number of rats was too large, and soon several hundred more plague rats rushed in.
The giant wolf is known for its unparalleled speed and agile reflexes; however, its advantages vanish when faced with a swarm of rats.
The giant wolf's attack methods are limited to sharp claw strikes and powerful bites, while the rat swarm is also known for its speed. They move like a black storm through the giant wolf's field of vision, making it difficult for the giant wolf to lock onto its target.
Occasionally, the giant wolf might manage to catch one or two plague rats, but this insignificant achievement was utterly insufficient to stop the rat swarm's advance.
Overwhelmed by their sheer numbers, the rats surged forward like a tidal wave, climbing up the giant wolf's limbs until they reached its neck. They bared their sharp teeth and bit down hard on the wolf's skin.
The giant wolf was not indestructible; its skin was torn through by the frenzied attacks of the rats, and its fur was stained red with blood.
