"Rat King, if you want to take my place, you should rely on your own abilities. All the people on East Island did not make friends with me just because I conquered them, including you. Don't you understand? This thing is called reputation, and it is useless to abdicate. I'll give you another chance. Either we talk nicely, or I won't be polite." I said.
The Rat King had a rat face, but not so rat-like. He looked a bit like a human, except that his skin was still covered with gray fur. At this moment, he opened his mouth with protruding front teeth, laughing, and mumbling a bunch of incomprehensible words that sounded like both the sounds of a rat and ordinary language.
But Yunwen obviously couldn't translate it now. After all, a cold butcher knife was hanging at her neck. How could she translate it properly when she couldn't even speak? But it didn't sound like a nice thing to say, and there was no need to say it. Just the fierce look under the light could tell what its attitude was now.
Contempt!
Damn it, you stole my things, openly betrayed me, bullied my wife, and now you are mocking me. There is no forgiveness.
I closed my eyes and decided to let the dark consciousness in my body run wild this time. So I loosened my tense restraint, and in that instant, the blood in my body gushed out quickly like a dam with the gates opened, like an explosion of the wilderness. In that instant, I felt the skin and flesh all over my body begin to rapidly crack, and then I heard bang bang bang sounds, and the grass vines broke in an instant.
The rat king opened his eyes and yelled loudly, "How could I give such a small person like him such a chance?" Instead of listening to it yelling, I was thinking more about not ruining my clothes, so I quickly took off my coat and underwear, and my body expanded rapidly. In just a moment, my size was far larger than the two-meter-tall rat man.
"Stop!" I shouted at the momentum.
And because of the hard training during that period, the explosive momentum really stopped. I don’t know how tall I am now, but those ratmen are much shorter than me. I rushed forward and those ratmen surrounded me. I couldn’t beat these ratmen before because I was much smaller than them and my strength was not on the same level.
At that time, no matter how good my skills were, it would be useless. But now it is different. Now my external conditions are basically the same as theirs, or even better. So what is the difficulty for giants to fight monsters, and Ultraman to fight small monsters? At this time, skills are particularly important and have a crushing effect.
I saw two or three of them surrounding me. I could clearly hear the strong wind and immediately dodged the first knife by turning sideways. I turned behind the one swinging the knife and twisted its arm. With a click, I dislocated it directly, without giving it a chance to scream. I threw it from behind with my shoulder, making it only able to let out a tight sound in its throat. Then the other two did not give them any good results either. I avoided the blade, stomped my feet on the ground, used my beard and hair as leverage, raised my elbows, and hit them directly on the forehead.
Suddenly there were two bangs and they flew far away. This was the principle of Bajiquan, which was enough to give them some damage. After knocking down a few of them, the rest became weaker and were knocked down in a few hits. Then they came in front of Yunwen, facing the guy who had just put a knife on Yunwen's neck and cut her.
After all, it was a mouse, and was timid. Seeing such momentum, it couldn't hold the knife steady. I stepped forward and twisted its neck. I lifted it up and it struggled in the air for a long time. I said, "You are so awesome. I made your life convenient, but you dared to cut my Yunwen. Sorry, you can't keep me alive."
After saying that, with a click, the entire neck was broken by me. For a moment, all the ratmen became cowardly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Rat Man King wanted to run away immediately. At this time, the Hidden Evil Knife sensed it. I waved my finger and the knife suddenly flew out and pierced the Rat Man King's thigh directly. No, it didn't pierce it, but cut off the whole thigh.
I rushed forward and grabbed it. My fist was so huge that even I was surprised. I didn't know when it was covered with gray-brown fur. I held it tightly like Wu Song catching a tiger.
"Yunwen, please translate what it was laughing at just now." I said.
"It said you can't save yourself, and you still mention something rude. It's so funny." Yunwen held her neck and stood up.
When the Rat King heard Yunwen's translation, he was so frightened that he trembled. I don't care about his trembling. He just carried me, tied me up, and spoke coldly to me. How could I give him a good ending? Laugh? Okay, I'll let him laugh.
So I raised my fist and punched it in the face with all my strength, one punch, two punches, three punches, not trying to kill it!
"Is it funny? Huh? I let bygones be bygones and allowed you ratmen to trade freely in the city. Who benefited from that? You rebelled against me and stole my things and hurt your mistress. I can't kill you, you heartless bastard!" I shouted.
The sound of boom, boom made the whole cave tremble continuously.
It struggled at first, but then retched blood and could only cry out pitifully, "Mercy, mercy."
I don't care about that, who would forgive it? A villain who forgets his principles when he sees profit!
He raised his fist fiercely and was about to smash it in the face, ending its hateful and pathetic life. However, at this moment, Yunwen shouted, "Zhou Bo, don't do that! Have you forgotten what we said before you came in?"
With a loud bang, the fist fell!
It just fell on the ground next to the Rat King, and the big hole on the ground was enough to scare it to death several times.
"Listen, Rat King, this is your last chance. Do you want to have a good talk with me? I might consider giving you a chance to make amends. If not, I'm sorry, I will twist your head off. Do you believe it?" I asked.
It is important to win the support of the people with virtue, but the prerequisite is also to have both power and virtue.
How dare it refuse now? It could only nod, and cried with fear, "Thank you, my king, for your mercy. I will cooperate!"
Although the tongue has a strange accent like it has been ironed, it doesn't matter as long as the meaning is clear. After all, it looks like a monster that is neither human nor demon, and it is a luxury for it to speak our language.
Since he has already begged for mercy, I will definitely spare his life. Of course, keeping him alive has other uses as well and it will be more useful than letting him die.
So I also picked it up and pressed it back onto the stone chair where it had just sat. Then Yunwen also came up, and the two of us began to interrogate him about everything we needed to know. This time the Rat King confessed everything. After all, for a treacherous villain like him, it was impossible to keep secrets.
We asked it what it wanted to do, what it wanted to do with my magic stone, and what the Netherworld Gang was going to do next? Can I stop it?
Among them, Yunwen was the one responsible for translation. My communication with the Rat King basically relied on her translation. We spoke one thing at a time, and after a few words, I probably understood everything. To say what the Netherworld Gang was going to do, it was really a big layout. The collection of magic stones was indeed for the purpose of developing new species, and now they were using a large number of small creatures for mutation experiments.
But why two pieces are needed is not known for the time being. Anyway, Cheng Feng now has two pieces in his hand, and they are still in the trial research and development stage. Therefore, apart from trying to trap me and prevent me from moving, he has not started to spread the plague on a large scale. Once the research and development is successful, he will immediately start a huge plan. At that time, he will use the plague to control all forces, and then let them accept research and development and transformation to become one of the mutant army under Cheng Feng.
He meant to build an army.
However, there are two difficulties in his plan. The first is the difficulty in developing the effectiveness of the magic-controlling stone. The second is my existence and the interference it causes to him. If he wants to do all this next, it is necessary that no one stops or destroys it. And I am the most likely one to do so. After all, I am basically the overlord of this island and a very important person. How can he not be on guard?
So he started to control the people around me, weakening and attacking us in order to achieve the restraining effect.
As for the last point, I asked about what this guy was going to do next. After the rat man finished speaking, Yunwen said after a while with a frown, "He plans to capture you, Zhou Bo, and call in all the elite troops around him."
