Having made up his mind, Ye Bai pulled out his phone and sent Zhang Lingxue a private message.
Zhang Lingxue possessed Fifth Order strength, so her words carried some weight in the Pet Beast Guild.
[Ye Bai: Teacher, I discovered that the fragrance released by sunflowers has a tremendous restraining effect on Berserk Blood Rats. I remember that the school's Secret Realm has a large field of Second Order sunflowers.]
Zhang Lingxue received Ye Bai's message at that moment and immediately raised an eyebrow.
What a coincidence—just as she was sleepy, someone brought her a pillow.
President Wang had just been worrying about where to find a large quantity of Second Order sunflowers, only for the answer to be right under their noses.
If Ye Bai had not reminded her, she truly would not have remembered.
The sunflowers at Sacred Mountain Middle School had only been planted to purify the air in the Secret Realm and had not served much purpose.
But now, those sunflowers had become prized treasures.
They were a weapon capable of effectively dealing with Berserk Blood Rats.
She raised the phone in her hand. "I know where we can find enough sunflowers."
Time passed second by second.
By the time the moon had risen high in the sky, the entire Cold Storage Warehouse was coated in a layer of silvery white.
Countless sunflowers surrounded the entire Cold Storage Warehouse.
The blazing white light they emitted illuminated everything within a kilometer as brightly as day.
At the same time, the fragrance released by the sunflowers made the Berserk Blood Rats retreat three paces at the very mention of them.
The pressure on the Pet Beast Guild grew smaller and smaller. After eliminating the Berserk Blood Rats left on the surface, President Wang knew that the key to resolving the Beast Tide came next.
This key would determine whether Jiaying City would suffer an even more terrifying Beast Tide or whether the Beast Tide would settle down here and now.
In this battle against the Berserk Blood Rat Emperor, he was one of the main combatants.
"Is everyone ready?"
"Now is the moment of the final battle. If anyone wishes to withdraw, step forward. I will not make things difficult for you."
President Wang's gaze swept across the crowd. Everyone stood ramrod straight, their eyes flashing with incomparable resolve.
They would not withdraw. Everything was for the people.
From the moment they joined the Pet Beast Guild, they had already cast aside thoughts of life and death.
Only with a great nation could there be small families.
If the nation did not survive, personal safety became insignificant.
"Very good. You all possess lofty awareness."
"On behalf of every citizen of Jiaying City, I thank you for your sacrifice."
"You are the pride of Jiaying City."
President Wang bowed deeply, paying tribute to these heroes.
At that moment, President Wang's gaze fell on Wang Shi.
"Wang Shi, how much have the Berserk Blood Rats excavated?"
Wang Shi's eyes turned earth-yellow once more. "They have dug a very deep pit below. Now is precisely the best time to activate Great Earthquake."
President Wang nodded. After preparing for so long, it was time to act.
"Wang Shi, activate Great Earthquake."
"Now is the moment for us to fight the Berserk Blood Rat Emperor to the death."
"Everyone, give it your all. I hope not a single one of you will be missing!"
Wang Shi summoned an enormous Rock Giant.
It raised its massive fist and smashed it viciously into the ground.
Rumble! Rumble!
A violent tremor surged through the ground.
Ye Bai felt the powerful quake where he stood. Objects around him fell one after another, but Da Hui directly blocked them all.
"It has begun."
Ye Bai watched spiderweb-like cracks spread across the floor of the Cold Storage Warehouse as the surrounding ground began to crumble apart.
With a sharp crack, the Cold Storage Warehouse plunged straight downward.
At that moment, the enormous Berserk Blood Rat Emperor raised its head. It sensed intense tremors coming from above.
What are the humans planning? What scheme are they plotting?
As the emperor of the Berserk Blood Rat clan, my Berserk Blood Rat Emperor's intelligence is quite good. At the very least, I am a Strange Beast with a brain.
Massive amounts of stone crashed down from above.
Many Berserk Blood Rats were struck by huge boulders and died on the spot.
The Berserk Blood Rat Emperor let out a sky-shaking roar. The eyes of the nearby Mutated Berserk Blood Rat Kings overflowed with Mental Power.
They tried to soothe their panicked kin, but the results were meager.
Their kin had already been scared out of their wits.
Large numbers of Berserk Blood Rats piled together, causing a severe stampede.
Blood splattered across the ground.
At that moment, rumbling sounds came from above.
Under the force of the powerful earthquake, an entire enormous slab of rock overhead began falling straight down.
Danger crept closer step by step.
The Berserk Blood Rat Emperor bared its fangs in a split-jawed expression.
One had to know that this was its entire Berserk Blood Rat army.
If the rock fell completely, they would most likely all become meat sandwiches.
Dying like this was far too humiliating.
Moreover, its legion would be reduced to less than one in ten. What a terrifying plan.
The Berserk Blood Rat Emperor felt as though its own plan had been seen through.
It had only just become the emperor of the Berserk Blood Rat clan. It could not die here.
As for the other members of its clan, it could only say sorry to them.
When they saw the rocks overhead beginning to fall, the Berserk Blood Rats, already panicked beyond measure, completely lost their minds.
They intended to escape to the surface through the tunnels they had dug.
But the tunnels they had excavated were only so large. With everyone crowding together and trying to squeeze out, how could it be so easy?
The Berserk Blood Rat Emperor also wanted to escape, but it discovered that every tunnel was packed with Berserk Blood Rats.
Its hierarchical suppression over the Berserk Blood Rats had also lost its effect.
The Berserk Blood Rat Emperor let out a sharp squeak toward the Mutated Berserk Blood Rat Kings beside it, and the eyes of those Rat Kings all turned purple.
Enormous Mental Power surged forth. The heads of the Berserk Blood Rats blocking the Berserk Blood Rat Emperor's path burst apart like watermelons, white brains scattering all over the ground.
After great difficulty, it slaughtered a bloody path forward, but upon reaching the tunnel entrance, the Berserk Blood Rat Emperor was completely dumbfounded.
This entrance was only half the size of its body. It could not squeeze in at all.
Seeing the falling rocks accelerate, the Berserk Blood Rat Emperor became frantic with anxiety.
It had only just become the emperor of the Berserk Blood Rat clan. It did not want to die here.
The space for survival was compressed even further, and countless Berserk Blood Rats were crushed directly into meat paste beneath the rocks.
This place had completely become the graveyard of the Berserk Blood Rat clan.
A terrifying stench of blood spread outward. Blood surged forth like a tide as the Berserk Blood Rat Emperor spread its hands, trying to use its flesh and blood body to slow the descent.
But unfortunately, it failed. Terror appeared in its eyes as it sprawled on the ground, every muscle in its body convulsing without end.
Was it truly going to die here?
It felt the greatest crisis of its rat life.
Just as the Berserk Blood Rat Emperor thought it was doomed, the huge rock's descent slowed.
When it opened its eyes, it saw that the corpses of its own kin had become lodged in the gaps beneath the massive rock.
Having escaped death by a hair's breadth, the Berserk Blood Rat Emperor hurriedly seized the opportunity, calling the Mutated Berserk Blood Rat Kings to dig tunnels and flee this place.
"Wang Shi, closely monitor the movements underground and see what the casualties below are like."
