The Furious Rat King

Hua Qiang was immediately delighted when he saw the Crimson Flame Rats.

I was lucky; I ran into an easy opponent right at the start.

Rats are social animals; if you find a few here, you might find a whole group.

A group of rats must have at least dozens or hundreds of them, right?

If there's a Rat Tide, there could be tens of thousands of them.

For the sake of easier counting, this points-based competition will only record the major grades and not the minor grades.

Killing a level 1 Mutant Beasts earns 1 point, a level 2 beast earns 10 points, a level 3 beast earns 100 points, and a level 4 beast earns 1000 points.

There are five level 4 rats here. Kill them all, and you'll get 5000 points.

Several Crimson Rock Rat were lying on a huge rock wall, gnawing on it.

As they gnawed away, one of the mice began to complain.

"Sigh, brothers, I don't know when this will end. I haven't had braised pork in ages."

Eating these rocks all day long, their bellies are full of stones, making them walk with a heaviness. What an unfortunate life for a rat!

"That's right. We haven't been hunting for food for a while. Let's use this to fill our stomachs first. In a little while, we'll go out and look around to see where we can find some blood food so we can have a meat feast."

"You guys are being foolish. Things aren't going well out there lately. Let's just stay home and gnaw on some rocks. Our lives are more important!"

"Besides, if we manage to get food but don't hand it over to the commander, they'll skin us alive!"

"Third Elder, you're too timid. We're all eating mutton together to fill our stomachs. If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, and none of us say anything, who will know?"

"This is something only you, me, heaven, and earth know. As long as we don't betray or sell out each other, what's there to be afraid of?"

Suddenly, a mouse stopped gnawing on the rock, pricked up its ears to listen, then sneered and looked in one direction before letting out a screech.

"Brothers, we've got meat to eat! We don't have to gnaw on rocks anymore!"

"Let's go hunt for food. We'll have a big meal today, and we can bring some back for Little Flower Little Red. They kicked us out of bed last night."

"She's always scolding me for being useless, saying that all I bring her when I go out is some scraps of stone, and she can't get anything else to eat. She says I suffer and toil with her, and it's embarrassing for her. It's even made my old back hurt now!"

Haha, fifth brother, who told you to overestimate yourself? Being poor is one thing, but with such a small frame, you still managed to find so many wives!

"You know, doing too much of some jobs can be bad for your health!"

"Don't laugh at me, Fourth Brother. You have one more wife than I do!"

"Hehe, fourth brother, fifth brother, you should learn from me. I only have one wife, and we love each other dearly and have been faithful to each other until the end. Isn't that amazing!"

"Tch, the four rats, the fourth and fifth, gave it a disdainful look with their beady eyes and said in unison, 'You're just henpecked, too afraid to find another wife. Don't use that lame excuse to show off. If you weren't afraid, you'd have more wives than us!'"

Hua Qiang stood there with a very strange expression. What had he heard?

Who wrote this play? A few mice are chatting amongst themselves, gossiping, and showing off their muscles.

"Brothers, stop arguing! Let's kill this two-legged human first, then we'll divide it up and treat our women to a good meal. Let's all have a happy night!"

"Hey, charge! Kill!"

The rats sensed no danger from Hua Qiang and immediately became bolder.

Their eyes were wide open, their expressions fierce, and their mouths revealed sharp teeth, making them look extremely ferocious.

The sharp claws flailed wildly in the air, charging towards Hua Qiang with bared teeth and claws.

These Crimson Rock Rat ran incredibly fast, chasing each other, afraid of falling behind and not contributing enough, or getting less meat in the end.

Just as they were about ten meters away from Hua Qiang, several rats suddenly took to the air at the same time, their huge bodies drawing arcs in the air.

Immediately afterwards, they all opened their mouths and spewed flames at Hua Qiang.

The flames were a bewitching red, seemingly carrying an evil power.

They wanted to use the flames to burn their prey to death, so that they could enjoy a delicious, cooked meal once it was roasted.

The moment the flames shot out, the surrounding air seemed to ignite, and the temperature rose sharply.

Hua Qiang reached out and gently flicked his hand, and a gust of wind suddenly arose, blowing all the incoming flames back.

The next moment, the flames engulfed several rats, and then the smell of burning skin and flesh filled the air.

Squeak squeak squeak...

Ahhh...

The rats fell to the ground and rolled around desperately, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, while making various shrill and mournful noises.

The next moment, Hua Qiang pointed at the rats a few times.

Bang bang bang bang!

Four rats exploded one after another, while another rat, for some unknown reason, rolled behind a rock. The wet mud behind the rock extinguished the flames on its body.

The rat touched the burned area on its body, wincing in pain, and kept shouting for the Rat God's protection, thanking the divine rat for its blessing.

He quickly got up and ran as fast as he could into the valley.

He had several brothers dead, and he had to go back to report the news and bring a large army to avenge them!

Hua Qiang watched the departing figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He deliberately let the rat go, his purpose being to send it to ask for help and mobilize a large force, making it easier for him to kill it and gain points.

Deep in the valley, there is a huge cave.

Outside the cave stood several tall, imposing rats, each clad in sturdy armor and wielding sharp weapons, fully armed and awe-inspiring.

Inside the cave, a bright red leopard rat stood out.

Its skin was shiny and seemed to shimmer with a strange light in the dim cave. Its body was several sizes larger than a calf, exuding an aura of majesty.

At this moment, it is comfortably enjoying itself, with its arms around both of them.

Two beautiful female mice were nearby; one carefully fed it wine, while the other gently peeled grapes and fed them to its mouth—a truly idyllic scene.

Suddenly, a commotion broke the silence.

"Your Majesty, an urgent military report has arrived!" The voice echoed through the valley.

The Rat King was immersed in a blissful state when this sudden sound disturbed his enjoyment. He was immediately displeased, his brows furrowed, and his eyes flashed with annoyance.

"Who is it? Bring them up!"

Its voice echoed in the cave, carrying an undeniable majesty.

Soon, a black rat, its body almost entirely burned and its skin barely remaining, scrambled in.

As it ran, it cried out in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, it's terrible! A powerful enemy has come to our door! Several of my brothers have been killed by him!"

"That man is incredibly powerful! Your Majesty must send a large army to suppress him. If they attack our doorstep, our situation will be dire!"

The rat's voice trembled, filled with fear and anxiety.

Upon hearing this, the Rat King flew into a rage, his eyes widening as if they were about to spit fire.

It suddenly stood up and waved its hand. "Order, General Kaoshan Shu Wuzhi, lead the Front Guard Battalion to tear the enemy to shreds!"
