Obtained a Rare Treasure: Hidden Rat

Inside the passage on the Air-Raid Shelter Level.

As the flamethrower spewed fire, thick black smoke rose, carrying a foul stench.

The fur on the Mutant Giant Rat inside the Pit Trap ignited instantly under the 1,200-degree Celsius flames.

Although the flamethrower fired for only five short seconds at a time.

It sprayed more than just flames—it also sprayed fuel. Once that fuel clung to the Mutant Giant Rat, it would not go out so easily.

Squeak—

Squeak—

The Mutant Giant Rat kept squealing inside the pit. It wanted to escape, but the pit's trapezoidal structure, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, made climbing out impossible.

Even without the Spiked Trap blocking the exit, it could not have climbed up using the spikes along the walls.

The spikes in the first section were electrified, while those farther down had turned into glowing red steel rods under the searing flames.

Fire was the Mutant Giant Rat's only weakness. Even though it had entered the metamorphosis phase, it had yet to complete its transformation, and that doomed it.

The entire passage filled with a foul stench and thick black smoke.

Yu Yuan had already returned to the hideout and was watching the scene inside the pit through the Surveillance Camera.

"My king, this rat is truly terrifying!"

Fang was still shaken.

Yu Yuan nodded.

"That's why we absolutely can't afford any surprises this time. If we let it escape, finding it again will be next to impossible. And it knows where our hideout is. We'll never have a moment's peace."

Time ticked by, second by second.

The flamethrower fired every few seconds. The heat inside the pit was so intense that even the spikes on its walls began to melt and warp.

Fine cracks appeared along the pit walls
