Several pairs of eyes exchanged glances.
In all beast-type BOSSes, the majority tend to unleash powerful attacks when backed into a corner by professionists.
Large-scale indiscriminate AOE attacks, escape, cloning, summoning minions, and so on.
The most common and frequently seen of these, is going berserk.
They lose their sanity, their constitution, strength, and speed greatly enhanced, launching a frenzied attack on the professionists.
Their combat power multiplies several times over.
“Squeak-!”
That’s what this Fire Rat Boss had done.
After being continuously insulted by Chen Xiao, Cai Shen, and others, it finally fell into a state of frenzy.
Its body transformed into a giant rat of over two meters long, struggling violently.
With a “crack,” the icicle binding it broke apart and the massive rat slammed into the ground amidst the swarm of fire rats.
Several fire rats swarmed up and instantly chewed off the rope.
“Damn, it’s over!”
Everybody was shocked as the big rat screeched and, stepping on the bodies of its brethren, leaped up.
Opening its wide mouth, it lunged towards Chen Xiao, who was the closest.
“Damn!”
Chen Xiao’s face changed, but he gritted his teeth and stood in front of the others.
Guardian of the Earth…
Just as he was about to activate the skill, he found that the skill rune, Guardian of the Earth, in his mind was unresponsive. His face changed immediately.
He was standing on an ice platform!
Not on the ground.
“Damn it!”
His heart raced, but just then, a figure stepped forward and pulled him back abruptly.
Zheng Cheng!
In his hand was an icicle. As the giant rat leaped at them, Zheng Cheng thrusted the icicle, like a javelin, towards it.
“Pfft!”
The momentum of the rat’s charge and Zheng Cheng’s thrust compounded, instantly piercing the body of the massive rat.
“Squeak-!”
With a painful squeal, fresh blood spurted out profusely.
Zheng Cheng gave it a kick, sending it flying back into the mob of ground rats.
“Squeak Squeak Squeak-!! ”
This time, the giant rat finally fell into an extreme frenzy.
It tore and bit at its brethren around it, forcing them to attack Zheng Cheng and others on the ice platform.
“Brother Cheng, thank you!”
On the platform, Chen Xiao sincerely said.
Zheng Cheng waved his hand, “No need for thanks, we’re all brothers.”
“Damn, Brother Cheng! That giant rat’s gone mad!”
Off to the side, Cai Shen screamed again.
They saw the blood-covered giant rat charging at them again, accompanied by more than a dozen flaming rats.
Yao Zhixue quickly scattered a large number of ice blades, sliding these fire rats attempting to climb the ice platform right back down.
Cold fog condensed, and sharp ice blades slowly formed within it, ready to fall.
But at that moment, Zheng Cheng raised his Bloodthirsty Scepter again. A strange ripple spread from the scepter, falling on the giant rat on the ground.
“Boom-!”
A silent boom rang out suddenly, and flames invisible to the naked eye instantly ignited on the giant rat.
“Squeak! ! ! ! ”
Blinded by extreme rage, the giant rat didn’t even react before falling to the ground, screaming.
Its claws scratched violently at its body, trying to put out the fire.
But it was all in vain, leaving only the screaming.
Its whole body fur was torn open, fresh blood and shredded flesh continuously gushed out, creating a horrifying scene.
“What, what’s wrong with this giant rat?”
Everyone on the ice platform looked at each other.
What happened to the giant rat that was attacking ferociously just now?
Has it gone crazy?
Among them, only Zheng Cheng knew what was happening.
Void fire torture!
Using one’s emotions and spirit as fuel to ignite severe emotional turbulence and then burn.
The stronger the spirit and the greater the emotional turbulence, the stronger the generated flame and the longer it lasts!
In Zheng Cheng’s vision, this giant rat was like a torch, burning fiercely!
“Boom-!”
Another dull sound and the large rat was suddenly enveloped in fire, its entire body’s fur burned away, revealing its bloody flesh.
“What… what happened?”
“What’s going on?”
“How did the rat turn into roast rat?”
Chen Xiao’s group exchanged glances, their eyes instinctively turned to Zheng Cheng.
Brother Cheng’s new skill?
Zheng Cheng didn’t explain, he said, “Let’s deal with the other fire rats first.”
“Okay!”
They all agreed, each began to attack.
The flurry of ice blades came raining down, engulfing the dozen or so fire rats.
Zheng Cheng jumped down, picked up an ice blade, and stabbed it right into the fire rat.
After about ten seconds, the large rat finally ceased to move.
The void fire on its body slowly retreated.
The entire body was bare, its fur was completely burned off.
Even its corpse turned into a delicious roast rat.
“This…”
Cai Shen fluttered his wings and flew to the front of the large rat, his eyes full of shock.
“It’s… it’s a roast rat now?”
“Can we eat it?”
“Damn it! Brother Ji, if you want to eat it, eat it, we’re not going to.”
“I was just kidding…”
Cai Shen said grudgingly, somehow his throat twitched a little.
His mouth was a bit itchy, tempted to take a nibble.
Yao Zhixue suddenly asked, “We’ve cleared the level again. What level are you guys now?” “LV6.”
“I’m also LV6.” Zheng Cheng nodded, “Me too, what about you?”
“I’m LV5.”
Yao Zhixue breathed a sigh of relief, “My leveling speed will get slower and slower, I need to supply Xue’er with soul energy… Let’s go, we have other tasks.”
Zheng Cheng nodded, he knew she was referring to the Black Sun Church.
“Wait a moment, I need to check the effect of my new skill…”
He approached the large rat’s body to examine it carefully.
The entire body of the rat, burned to a crisp outside but tender inside, was cooked to perfection.
Even its teeth were pinkish white like gems.
He picked up a nearby ice blade and sliced into the large rat.
Random Autopsy!
Zheng Cheng shook his head, this time the autopsy didn’t yield the item he wanted.
But he wasn’t discouraged.
During this trip to the Hell level instance, he had already collected 14 roasted fire rat tails.
Which means he had consumed the maximum amount of fire rat tails, a special ingredient.
His agility attribute increased by another 14 points!
This time wasn’t pioneering, so the rewards weren’t very generous.
But it’s better than nothing.
Only Cai Shen got a Potion of Fury, which can induce a state of berserk when consumed.
This potion is restricted to users currently transformed into rats, tigers, cats, and such. Unclear whether it will work when he’s transformed into a chicken.
Berserk chicken?
As soon as they left the instance, Zhao Yunxiao suddenly showed up. He signaled them with his gaze.
After bidding farewell to each other, Zheng Cheng and Yao Zhixue were pulled into Zhao Yunxiao’s Jeep.
“Team leader, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Zhao Yunxiao said, “There’s been a problem. The scouts monitoring the Black Sun Church have been silent for two hours.”
“The Director inferred, they might be planning to act earlier than we expected!”
“Earlier… why?”
Zhao Yunxiao shook his head, “Unclear, maybe something has provoked them.”
“But it doesn’t matter; we are fully prepared.”
“Even if they don’t make a move, we will.”
“The entire Weihe Town has been turned into an inescapable net, waiting for the Black Sun Church to plunge into it!”
“Tonight, you two stay at the Night’s Watch base. No wandering around.”
“This… okay..”
