Faced with this situation, Liu Tingquan continued throwing the Molotov cocktail in his hand, gradually expanding the range of the flames.

Even so, they couldn't stop the swarm of rats from rushing towards them.

It's like a swarm of ants bursting out of the flames! By sacrificing the ants around them, they save the few in the middle.

But this group of rats was much larger.

After more than 100 rats were killed or injured, more and more rats rushed out of the flames and attacked the group.

Liu Tingquan had run out of Molotov cocktails.

More and more rats surrounded the exploration team, and the group was eventually forced into a smaller circle.

By this time, the group of rats had suffered heavy losses.

Even those rats that rushed through the path, having been scorched by the death of a large number of rats, were severely injured by the intense heat. Their fur was curled and their skin was cracked, clearly indicating severe burns.

They no longer have the capacity to "swallow" the entire exploration team.

The members of the exploration team knew this, so they were not afraid of the half-crippled rats and swung their knives, hacking and slashing them repeatedly.

"Hold on, everyone! Don't let these rats break through our defenses. That squeaking sound just now must mean the captain's team succeeded; he'll be back to support us soon."

At this moment, Mo Yemei, who was already a professional, suddenly spoke up, encouraging the crowd that was facing encirclement.

The others understood this as well, and after hearing Mo Yuemei say those words, they felt a significant relief from the pressure. Everyone was now focused on holding on until the captain returned.

Just as everyone present was about to collapse from exhaustion, wielding their machetes, the Avatar leaped up from the balcony.

The rest of the exploration team looked relieved to see their captain return.

The hundred or two rats that were besieging the group didn't care who it was; some of them charged towards the Avatar.

This group of rats was already severely crippled and their mobility was greatly reduced.

The Avatar seizes the opportunity, aiming to strike at a point where multiple rats are aligned, and then delivers a powerful slash.

Seven or eight rats were cut in half on the spot, their intestines and internal organs scattered all over the ground, and there were corpses cut in half everywhere.

The stench of blood and the putrid smell of entrails and excrement filled the entire platform.

After four or five "blades of light" were unleashed, only five or six of the forty or fifty rats that had charged forward remained scattered.

The remaining ones, seeing their companions slaughtered in the blink of an eye, were at a loss.

The Avatar had no time to deal with the few scattered rats; instead, it charged directly into the encirclement of the rats and wreaked havoc.

Amidst the flashing blades, in some densely populated areas, a single strike could kill more than a dozen animals.

The entire exploration team, especially Old Zhao and Old Cao, were stunned by the scene. The others were also surprised, but they were already somewhat used to it.

When Mo Yuemei saw the captain descend like a divine being, effortlessly slaughtering the rats as if cutting melons and vegetables, she secretly hoped that she would one day possess such abilities as the captain.

When only fifty or sixty rats remained, they could no longer maintain their momentum. A few rats began to sneak away, and one after another, they gradually swarmed away, creating an avalanche as they fled downstairs.

The exploration team members were exhausted after the battle.

The increasingly thick stench of blood in this place made the Avatar sense once again the birth of the Heaven and Earth Qi.

He gave everyone some instructions.

"You guys rest for a bit, then move to another location immediately. Don't stay here; I'm worried other mutated creatures might come attracted by the smell of blood. I'll follow these rats to find their lair and come back later."

After saying that, he followed the direction in which the rats had fled. His Avatar followed behind at a moderate pace. The rats were suffering from various injuries and were not running very fast.

In less than 10 minutes, Wang An found their nest in a cave behind the Bazi Water Mountain.

Observing the changes in the Heaven and Earth Qi field of this place, one can see that the Earth Vein Qi is concentrated here.

This reminded him of the intelligent mutant wild boar he had encountered before, whose herd of wild boars was equally fearless.

I stood at the entrance of the cave and carefully sensed the situation inside.

There were only a few scattered sounds of mice moving around, so I went straight in without hesitation.

Upon entering the nest, one can clearly see five wisps of bright yellow, Savage Earth Qi floating within it.

Moreover, judging from the speed at which the surrounding Savage Earth Qi combines, it can actually combine into two strands within a day.

This kind of environment can already be considered a rudimentary version of a small-scale feng shui energy field.

They quickly killed the dozen or so rats that had returned to the area and were huddled together to recover from their injuries.

They carefully explored every part of the cave.

As expected, there were more than a dozen Class Change Stone placed throughout the cave.

Although for Wang An, this arrangement was extremely random and chaotic. Some positions didn't even have the effect of gathering; instead, they hindered the speed of combination.

But he was still somewhat amazed; these animals were becoming increasingly intelligent. Especially the Rat King, who was able to collect so many Class Change Stone and use them for experiments—he was quite a genius rat.

The Avatar immediately memorized the terrain, size, and placement of the Class Change Stone within this cave nest, which would be helpful in creating a natural and harmonious atmosphere in the future.

These five wisps of bright yellow, Savage Earth Qi are drawn into the body.

They were like the earth itself, suspended above the lake of Essence Qi, gradually growing stronger as they absorbed the Savage Earth Qi.

He then collected all the Class Change Stone and meteorites, obtaining a total of 15 Class Change Stone and 5 meteorites.

However, the five Class Change Stone used do not quite match the true strength of that Rat King.

Although it's possible to obtain only intelligence-based or support-type professions, five professions are enough to create a powerful individual. Even if you can't defeat Avatar, you can at least escape.

There must be other rats that are also mutated creatures, but they are not as prominent as the mutated creatures I saw before Avatar.

Just like his first job as an [Intelligent Life Class], it offered almost no enhancements to his abilities.

Perhaps these creatures also had their own initial professions.

After carefully searching the area, I put five Class Change Stone and three meteorites in my backpack and returned.

They first located the exploration team; they had moved to a building at the village exit and were waiting for him.

When the captain returned with a bulging backpack, everyone knew he had raided the rats' den and were eager to see what he had gained.

Without keeping everyone in suspense, the Avatar opened their backpack to show everyone.

Mo Yuemei was the most enthusiastic, quickly coming over to count the earnings, since she would receive a share of the profits when they were eventually converted into money.

"One, two, three,... eight, nine, ten, wow, this time there are 10! I'm rich!"

The rest of the exploration team also smiled with delight upon seeing that there were 10 this time.
