Reaping Points

Hua Qiang was quite relaxed at the moment. Since the other party had already gone to get reinforcements, he was too lazy to bother searching for them.

His current strategy is to wait for them to come to him for revenge, then he'll wreak havoc, and after that, he'll raid their hideout and wipe them out. Once he's finished off these rats, his score should be terrifying.

After all, this swarm of rats is mostly around level three or four, and there should even be some higher-level ones. At the very least, the Rat King should be level five or six.

Otherwise, how could they possibly keep this horde of rats in check?

Boom boom boom!

Hua Qiang felt the ground shake violently, followed by a chaotic and noisy sound coming from the valley.

But when he looked up, he saw a huge, densely packed square of rats surging out of the valley and rushing towards him.

The first rat was large and wore armor, carrying an axe.

Holy crap! This is... General Rat?

Shu Wuzhi led his group—no, a group of 1,000 rats—and soon arrived at a distance of a few dozen meters from Hua Qiang.

As soon as he raised his large axe, the rats, disciplined and obedient, stood behind him, each staring intently at Hua Qiang with their rat eyes.

If looks could kill, Hua Qiang would have been torn to pieces countless times by now.

"Who are you? Why have you trespassed on my Rat Kingdom's territory? And why have you dared to kill my Rat Kingdom's citizens? Such provocation is an insult to my Rat Kingdom. Do you have a death wish?"

Depend on!

Hua Qiang was at a loss for words. This rat must have been to school a few times; he spoke in a very refined and eloquent manner.

This is actually their Rat Kingdom, the land of rats! This is so new, I've never heard of it before!

Hua Qiang also became interested and prepared to tease them.

"And who are you? State your name first, I don't kill nameless rats."

Hua Qiang deliberately dragged out his words, his eyes full of mockery.

"You scoundrel! I am General Kaoshan Shu Wuzhi the King's army!"

"Mouse is so angry and frustrated!" it roared. Its small eyes flashed with anger, and its whiskers trembled with excitement.

"Oh, you spineless rat! A rat without any ambition has actually become General. It seems there's really no talent left in your rat horde!"

Hua Qiang burst into laughter, his voice echoing through the valley.

The rat, Wuzhi, was thoroughly enraged by Hua Qiang's words. It gritted its teeth and shouted, "You, how dare you! How dare you use my name to mock me?"

"Boy, you provoked my Rat Kingdom first, and now you've insulted my Rat Kingdom's Marshal! Your crimes deserve death!"

"This General has no interest in knowing your name. Men, charge! Indiscriminate attack! Tear this man to pieces!"

As soon as Shu Wuzhi gave the order, the thousand rats behind him instantly surged towards Hua Qiang like a raging tide.

They squeak and chirp, their small bodies behaving aggressively.

The rats' eyes gleamed with a fierce light, as if they wanted to devour Hua Qiang alive.

They surged in like a tide, causing the ground to tremble slightly as they ran, raising a cloud of dust.

Hua Qiang stood still, calm and composed, a faint smile on his face, seemingly quite pleased to welcome this sudden "Rat Tide" attack.

The rats launched their attack, leaping into the air like a surging tide, their dense numbers raining down on Hua Qiang like a deluge.

Hua Qiang looked at these disgusting creatures and felt a surge of revulsion; he didn't want them to touch him in the slightest.

With a thought, a faint Energy Shield instantly appeared around his body, like a mysterious protective membrane, completely enveloping him.

The next moment, a series of crackling sounds filled the air as the rats, like moths to a flame, crashed into the Energy Shield. The sounds echoed through the empty valley like muffled thunder.

These rats crashed into the seemingly thin yet indestructible Energy Shield, unable to advance an inch.

The Energy Shield seemed to contain a mysterious rebounding force, and each rebound caused some degree of damage to the rats.

The rats that bounced off the ground fell to the ground, baring their teeth and looking quite ferocious.

However, they did not give up; anger filled their bodies.

They frantically tried to bite through the Energy Shield with their incredibly sharp teeth, attempting to break through the barrier that was blocking them, Energy Shield remained completely unmoved.

Then, they brandished their weapons, slashing and stabbing recklessly, but the Energy Shield remained as solid as a rock, completely undamaged.

At this, the mice went completely berserk, squeaking and squeaking as if venting their resentment and anger.

Then, they opened their mouths wide and spewed flames at Hua Qiang.

In an instant, a sea of fire surged forth, completely engulfing Hua Qiang, the raging flames seemingly intent on burning everything to ashes.

The rats looked at the sea of fire, their hearts filled with smugness, thinking that they would finally burn him to death.

Just as the group of mice were about to cheer and celebrate, they all froze in shock.

That sea of fire, with its supposedly powerful attack, failed to inflict the slightest damage on its opponent.

Hua Qiang remained standing there unharmed, his Energy Shield radiating a mysterious light within the sea of fire, completely isolating it from the flames.

This scene made the mice question their very existence; they couldn't understand why this seemingly ordinary human was so powerful and so difficult to deal with.

Their small eyes were filled with shock and fear as they stared blankly at Hua Qiang, at a loss for what to do.

The entire valley fell into an eerie silence, with only the still-burning flames crackling and burning, as if telling the story of the thrilling battle.

The rat, Wuzhi, suddenly stiffened, its beady rat eyes widening as it stared at the scene before it in disbelief.

Its heart was filled with doubt and shock. Was this person a human or Mutant Beasts?

How could this be so bizarre?

It couldn't sense any dangerous, powerful aura emanating from Hua Qiang.

The person before them seemed like an ordinary person, without any fluctuation of Martial cultivation. How could he conjure an Energy Shield out of thin air and so easily block their powerful attacks?

The next moment, a strong sense of fear surged into its heart like a tidal wave.

Not good!

An instinctive sense of crisis made it react instantly. It frantically turned around and ran for its life, shouting in panic, "My comrades, retreat!"

Its voice was filled with fear and urgency; at that moment, it only wanted to escape this place that terrified it as quickly as possible.

However, how could Hua Qiang let them escape so easily?

These mice are all valuable points in his eyes!

He slowly raised his large hand and grabbed at the air, as if there were invisible ropes in the void.

Then, all the mice that had just lifted their legs to run away were frozen in place, motionless, as if time had stood still at that moment.

The next moment, Hua Qiang gently clenched his fist, a seemingly simple gesture that contained boundless power.

With a loud "bang," the rats instantly exploded, turning into clouds of blood mist, followed by piles of finely chopped flesh scattered all over the ground.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the whole scene was extremely gruesome.

Hua Qiang stood there, watching the scene before him, his face devoid of any pity. To him, these rats were merely targets for gaining points.
