Chapter 18 The Wrath of the Rat!

As soon as the players tried their best, the spiders in the maze and the rats in the mines suffered.

After finding reliable teammates, Yiye Zhiqiu decisively chose the most profitable crypt spider as the monster target.

Although those crypt spiders looked tough and were estimated to be level 10 or 20, he had discovered that in this world of ultra-high freedom, level did not mean everything. The so-called attribute panel and health bar were only for reference! For example, although those crypt spiders were powerful in combat, their intelligence was not very high.

Another thing is that they have a strong sense of territory, and even their own children will be eaten if they approach rashly.

While this means they are extremely dangerous, it also means that unless the player ventures too deep, they will most likely only face one spider at a time.

As long as you kill a crypt spider, you can not only get ten times the reward of killing a ratman, but also catch all the spider eggs near the spider web! In addition, Yiye Zhiqiu paid special attention to every task in the task column.

Clearing out spider nests is almost the only task that can provide unlimited contribution value at present!

At the current leveling speed, they will soon reach the ceiling of lv3, and obtaining contribution points is the top priority in the current version!

Except for some high-level players like Yiye Zhiqiu, most players still choose the relatively "cute" mouse people.

First of all, skeletons are not on the Skaven's menu.

Faced with this group of skeleton soldiers whose intelligence is no less than that of humans, these rat people are not only confused, but also don't know how to attack them.

Secondly, these ratmen not only have low health bars, but can also drop equipment.

The only trouble is that morale is often lost, and running around affects the players' ability to cut tails.

Unfortunately, the players’ levels in the current version are too low, and they don’t have the skills to mow down enemies without any rivals.

The undead have a frightening aura of their own, and it is really troublesome to encounter such an opponent with no will to resist...

…

The underground streets of Thunder City.

Although this place also belongs to the parish of the Church of Saint Sith, it is one of the few places in Thunder City where the holy light cannot reach.

There are thieves selling stolen goods, pirates with bounties on their heads, unscrupulous businessmen lending money at high interest rates, and smugglers doing illegal deals... Some people even joked that even if the devil from hell came, he would have to leave behind two kidneys before leaving.

There are even more exaggerated rumors that evil followers of the Outer Gods are hiding in that dark alley...

All in all, this isn't a good place.

In the tavern next to the Thieves Guild, mist was shrouded in oily oak tables.

Three men who looked like bad guys in terms of both their clothes and appearance were fighting against the nobles.

This is of course not a real beating of nobles, it is just a card game, and it is said to have a history of a thousand years, and was even popular in the court of the Kingdom of Ryan at one time.

Sometimes Jack couldn't help but wonder which king had such a strong taste.

Does it feel good to be beaten?

"Speaking of which, why haven't I seen that chick Chris recently?"

He is a member of the Black Snake Gang and has some business dealings with several guys from the Silver Scimitar.

Especially Chris.

Even though that woman was only an Iron-level thief, she was quite skilled in kidnapping and extortion.

He just happened to have a deal he wanted her to do, but the middleman couldn't get in touch with the guy.

Not just her.

The entire silver scimitar seemed to have disappeared and disappeared from Thunder City.

With his keen sense of smell, he couldn't help but wonder if this group of thieves had offended some big shot.

For example, the Andes family...

The man with the scar on his face grinned.

"Chris? The one with flatter breasts than mine? Someone seemed to have seen her at the Pavilion of Swords and Broken Swords yesterday."

The smoking man threw a black king onto the table, snatching the card from Jack's hand.

"The tavern next to the Adventurer's Guild? What is she doing there?"

"Who knows, maybe it's a good way to catch a rich guy?"

The smoking man stopped playing cards, thought for a moment and said.

"It seems that she really caught one. I heard that someone saw her leaving with a noble-looking man near Beimen Station."

The man with the scar on his face laughed out loud.

"Hahahahaha, which young master has such heavy taste?"

"North Gate Station, right? Thank you for the information." Jack said with interest after throwing four fours on the table.

The smoking man said he couldn't afford it and took out the cigar from his mouth.

"Why? She is the only one who can do this mission?"

"There aren't many female thieves who are skilled and skilled... Although others can do it, I prefer to use someone I know."

At this point, Jack paused for a moment.

"Besides, I'm a little curious about what she did wrong."

The man with the scar on his face suddenly stopped smiling and gave him a meaningful look.

"…Thunder City has been in turmoil lately, so it's better for you to keep a low profile."

Jack didn't care and just grinned indifferently.

"It's the commercial street that's not peaceful. What does it have to do with our underground street?"

…

In the far suburbs of the northern part of Thunder City, deep in the Beifeng Mine, a fat giant rat sat on the white bones.

His name is Gachi.

Until a few days ago, he was just a slave rat kept by the devil on the first floor of the maze, but now he has become the leader of thousands of slave rats.

perhaps--

It won't be long before he will have his own clan like the ancestors of those great clans.

In order to achieve this great goal, he must seize the time to store more fat.

At this moment, he was sitting on the throne of bones, with food stolen from human farms in front of him.

There are not only pork, beef and mutton, but also baked bread that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and juicy fruits and vegetables.

With a full stomach, Gachi's waist and height were expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a balloon filled with water.

However, the magical thing is that even though he ate so much, he did not burst from the food. Instead, he gained greater strength due to the bloat.

This is also one of the characteristics of rat people.

Not only can they eat with their bellies full, they can stuff food far exceeding their own body weight into their stomachs and transform it into a part of themselves.

In addition to racial talents, there is also their faith.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Endless eating is a sacrifice to please one of the three rat gods - Gerlo, the "gluttonous rat"!

At this moment, Gachi did not realize that by following his nature, he had inadvertently performed a divine ritual called "Ritual of Gluttony". Although his posture was clumsy and funny, he did succeed in pleasing Gerlo, so much so that the latter gave him a better appetite and power far beyond that of ordinary slave rats! Seeing their leader feasting, the slave rats beside him were greedy and wanted to rush over to eat the meat, but they did not dare to do so.

Previously, some foolish little mice stretched out their claws towards the food, but were grabbed by their leader, whose heads were bitten off and then eaten up with a crunch.

Just when Gachi was enjoying his meal, a ragged rat-man suddenly ran in from the cave entrance, screaming shrilly.

"Your Majesty! Lord Gachi! Something terrible has happened!"

Gachi, who kept chewing, burped for a long time and replied in a lazy voice.

"What's the matter? If you are an adventurer, don't bother me..."

The rich smell drifted from the piles of bones to the entrance of the cave, and the greedy mice drooled on the ground.

The ragged rat man pressed his head to the ground, screaming in a terrified voice as he continued.

"No! Not an adventurer! It's the Demon King!"

Demon King?! The moment he heard this word, Jiaqi was so frightened that his fat body shook and the chicken leg in his hand fell to the ground.

"Demon King?!"

He screamed and tried to turn over and get up, but because he ate too much, he almost caused an earthquake.

The slave rats serving on both sides began to squeaking and running away. Seeing this, Gachi quickly reached out and grabbed them all back.

"Don't run! Come back here! Where can you run to? Are you going back to the maze to feed the spiders? Or are you hoping that humans' farms will take you in? Only I can give you a place to stay!"

He roared, shocking those spineless scoundrels, then glared at the mouse standing at the entrance of the hole, squeezing out vicious words from between his teeth.

"You're lying! The Demon King is dead! We saw it with our own eyes! Otherwise...how dare those spiders occupy our nest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several ratmen holding pistols and sticks came forward viciously, ready to capture the little mouse.

The skinny rat man was trembling, his head pressed tightly against the ground, and there was even blood on his black forehead hair.

"Everything I said is true, my lord! The previous demon king was indeed dead, and we all saw it! But but but last night, a demon king came back with a group of adventurers! And... he was a necromancer!"

Gachi was stunned.

The Demon King is coming back with the adventurers? Are you kidding me?!

As for the Necromancer——

What can a few skeletons do? Before he was so hungry, a rat could beat ten! "You are kidding me! Chop him up!"

Gachi roared, and the slave rats, who had been unable to contain themselves, rushed forward, chopped the screaming little mouse into meat paste, and then began to gnaw on it.

Looking at the slave rats biting each other, Gachi, who was sitting on the pile of bones, fell into deep thought.

The new demon king...

It's true that it's not done well.

In fact, he had been prepared in his heart that sooner or later hell would send a new leader to clean up the mess, but he did not expect that this airborne leader would end up in his own territory.

He had already escaped from the maze, so was he going to flee to the mountains further away? There was simply not enough food there, and he didn't want to and couldn't leave the human city-state! But -

These things must not be known to his younger brothers.

Looking at those ratmen who were still unsatisfied, Gachi opened his loud voice and screamed.

"You guys! Once you're full, go to the mine and find those human things!"

"This mine is our territory!"

"If they dare to come in, let them know how powerful we are!!!"

"grumble--!"

The ratmen brandished their stained swords, guns and sticks, and let out sarcastic war cries under the encouragement of their leader.

Looking at the huge crowds of servants, Gachi's originally anxious mood finally calmed down a little.

perhaps--

It's not that bad.

This demon king might be much weaker than he thought, otherwise he wouldn't have been lingering at the door of the maze.

Even if we take a step back, he is still ten thousand against a few.

No matter how you look at it, the advantage is in his hands!
